I chatted with Amun for a while, but by now I was tired and wanted to go to bed. He understood that and accompanied me to my room.We walked side by side in silence and once again there was a little chaos of emotions inside me. It was probably a big one.I tried to concentrate on my surroundings, but my thoughts weren't interested. Amun was next to me and that distracted me. At least I managed to see straight ahead even though his eyes were on me.Amun broke the silence by asking, "Do you at least like it here? Or do you have a burning desire to run away?"This morning I would have told him straight to his face that I wanted to leave. Even though that was crazy, the hunters would kill me immediately as soon as they knew whose mate I was. But I should be after it, after all, it would kill him.Still, the realization about my uncle had changed a lot. Maybe someone else knew about it. Perhaps several people were involved in this plan. It's possible that others wanted to get rid of me in
I ignored him and opened the door. We had enough conversation for one evening. Every further conversation was a risk."Goodnight, Amun. As crazy as it is sometimes, I'm polite enough to thank you for your company. See you out for a walk someday."Of course, I didn't get to enter the room because he grabbed my wrist and turned me around to face him.Theoretically, I expected this, but somehow not. This caused me to look into those golden eyes in surprise.Amun said, "Now you have asked for it."The next moment he leaned towards me and this time his lips met mine. It was a small explosion and I really wanted to push him away, but the feeling was so nice.Nevertheless, I managed not to return the kiss for a proud second. Afterward, however, I allowed it and kissed him the same way.I automatically stood on my tiptoes, but Amun had a better idea. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him. We never broke the kiss and I buried my fingers in that soft hair.Somewhere on the edge, I he
My next destination was my bed because we could both sit there and chat a bit. At some point I had to start my interrogation and it was best to do that immediately.Gwen said, "I have bad news." That was never good and as I sat down I looked at her questioningly. Of course, I then pointed to the seat next to me so that she could sit her ass on that bed.She came over and continued, "The king had to leave yesterday. There is some unrest and it needs to be sorted out."Riots.That probably means the hunters were causing trouble. This was something good and far from bad news. At least that's what my head was convinced of and I was happy to ignore my heart's opinion.Gwen sat down next to me and said, "It's still unknown how long he's been away. Apparently there are several disturbances in different places. Quite a bit of chaos has broken out."Either the hunters wanted revenge on me or had a suspicion that I was alive. I thought the first option was more likely. Amun might try to keep qu
I went into the garden every day, always accompanied by Gwen, of course. I was never allowed to go through the palace alone. I could understand that Amun wasn't stupid.Since I was allowed to go into the garden, I was able to recharge my batteries. I had already made some progress in dealing with my newfound element.It was a small joy that I learned this quite quickly. After all, I had no one who could help me or give me tips. I had to admit to myself that I was proud of myself.My favorites were the pansies and I was currently kneeling in front of them. I gently stroked one of the flowers and said, "You look beautiful as always." I received positive feedback and I was pleased.Gwen next to me said, "I have to agree with Davina." In the meantime she was talking to the plants herself, although she didn't get an answer; rather, she didn't understand them or barely noticed them.I looked at her with a smile and explained, "You're happy about this and enjoying our company."Gwen turned h
I just arrived at Amun's office with Taran. We would have figured out where the good guy was hiding. Apparently he wanted to use his work as an excuse.I still felt the anger, but I tried very hard to hide it. I should make it less obvious how I felt otherwise I would practically scream in his face.Taran knocked on the door for me, so I asked snappily, "Can't I do that myself?" He growled at me angrily, which was definitely fitting for a werewolf, but I gave him a withering look.There was no further escalation because Amun shouted, "Come in!" It sounded threatening and authoritarian, but it was good for me to hear his voice. That alone alleviated my bad mood somewhat. I still rolled my eyes internally because I thought that way.Taran nodded goodbye and I opened the door. Inevitably I didn't have to say any more words to him.I entered the room and Amun was sitting behind his desk. He looked completely amazed when his eyes fell on me. So Taran had not informed him that I was now vis
I closed the door behind me and then stood in the middle of the room. I looked at him seriously and you could still see his surprise. He could have guessed that I would be on the mat at some point.Since he seemed unable to say anything, I started, "I feel like you're treating me badly." That was definitely a good start. I also mentally patted myself on the shoulder because I sounded calm.Amun raised an eyebrow. "It wasn't clear to me that you even missed me. Apparently you did." Now he started smiling cheekily and I felt the urge to hit him. I took a deep breath to keep my composure.My statement must have come across wrong. "I mean, I'm bored out of my mind. You don't let me do anything. I can only go to my room or the garden. I couldn't even pursue any hobbies."Sure, I trained in my room, but without opponents and with the air. It was still better than nothing. I had to train somehow. I would never let that be taken away from me.I crossed my arms and looked at him seriously. I w
I stood here involuntarily with this godlike figure next to me. What a cruel existence I led.I should never have asked Taran to take me to him.This incredibly male voice said, "I missed you, Davina."My poor heart believed his nonsense and was thrilled, which increased my heart rate. They were nice words that were nice to hear. As long as it was from someone you liked.But he had missed me, which could be a mean feeling, more like a sad one. That's the only reason I should give him the time with me, after all, I was a nice person.Yes, I wanted to engage in a conversation. Of course, exclusively to do him a favor.I was taken out of my thoughts when he continued, "As much as you hate to admit it, I make no secret of it. I missed you very much and wanted to have you with me."The king had probably taken a course on how to wrap a woman around his finger. He had passed it with distinction and was at the top of his class."Davina, can you please look at me?"Why did he want this every t
The next moment he took my face in his hands and pulled me to him. Our lips met and it was completely intoxicating.I returned the kiss immediately, but soon came to my senses and wanted to push him away. Amun didn't allow it and held me tight. There was a low growl coming from him, which I kind of liked.I couldn't hold it anymore and returned the kiss. You had to enjoy this perfection and gratefully accept it.How could I even resist?Those sparks, the passion between us, and that rush of happiness that shot through my whole body. Maybe it sounded exaggerated, but I felt it down to my little toe.As things got more passionate, I wanted to be closer to him, so I sat on his lap without breaking the kiss. Amun pulled me closer to him and kept his hands on my back. I automatically pressed myself against him and put my hands around his neck.It was the perfect kiss if you could even call it that. It was more of a hot make-out session.I had completely lost my self-control and ignored the
"Alright, I'll do you a favor. I'll come back to this later.""I'm looking forward to it, I can't stop myself." She must have recognized the sarcasm in my words because I had made it clear.Flynn and Tyrone seemed to have continued to talk, at least the beta was saying, "As you wish, but the ball gown thing would be perfect. Maybe we can find new recruiters to replace you since you can be so mean."Oh, that was very daring.That deep, menacing growl from Tyrone made my heart stop for a moment. It was as if the world stopped for a moment. A shiver of fear ran down my spine and my eyes automatically found him.He glared at his beta, more like killing him with his eyes and he had one hand clenched tightly into a fist. As if he was preparing to harm someone.His voice mirrored his appearance as Tyrone replied, "You will look after her as if your life depended on what she does. And you will remind people that they need to be respectful of their Luna." He emphasized the word Luna, which was
I had just arrived at the front door with Flynn and then I realized something. I only had the high heels from last night.Did I seriously need to tour this area in high heels?Sure, it was doable, just uncomfortable and certainly not suitable footwear for this project.With a sigh, I turned to him and explained, "I only have yesterday's very high shoes. You'll probably have to be patient today because you're slower in those things."Flynn dismissed it with a wave of his hand and said, "No problem. We can go to a store and you can buy some suitable ones."Yes, but with what money?He probably didn't take into account that I had arrived here with hardly anything. Hopefully, Tyrone had told him that. You usually gave your best friend a story about your experiences, especially when it came to your mate.To be on the safe side, I remarked, "They didn't give me time to pack, so all my things will be sent later."Surprisingly, Flynn got a cheeky grin on his face, which made me look at him sl
The door opened and a man emerged. He had a higher rank because that's what he radiated.Werewolves could generally sense this. So I concluded that I was dealing with a beta. It was very likely that he was Tyrone's beta, at least that would be logical considering whose house I was in.It was confusing that he smiled, even more so when the words followed in a friendly tone, "Good morning Luna, nice that we got to know each other."He started moving and as he did I replied, "Good morning." I would reply that it was nice to meet him, but I still had absolutely no details."By the way, I'm Tyrone's beta."Oh well, as expected.—---------------------------"Ok, Beta from Tyrone and what's your name?" He didn't tell me that and this information would be great.Just before he got to me, I stood up to properly introduce myself. My good upbringing said hello.When he stood in front of me, he offered me his hand, which I accepted. "I'm Flynn and you must be Aurelia." How nice, then at least he
Aurore said, "I'm telling you, it's terrible. If we're too stupid to ever leave here, our first act in office is to burn this piece."Yes, we also liked to have very logical topics that were incredibly helpful if you had a ton of problems.—---------------------------------Meanwhile, I was sitting at the dining table and looking at the roll that was on the plate in front of me. It wasn't an exciting sight at all, but I wasn't capable of anything else.What concerned me most was Amanda. From Tyrone's behavior, his mom wasn't a nice person. Except it was his fault and not hers. I had to find out somehow, until then I shouldn't trust anyone.Aurore chimed in by saying, "We need to befriend someone who isn't part of this family. Someone neutral who can tell us something about the circumstances."That was my plan too, too the only question was how we should become friends. Amanda had said she wanted to show me the area, but Tyrone didn't want me near her.If I had the opportunity, I would
However, that was cut short as Aurore growled and yelled at me, "Get a hold of yourself, Aurela!" It was so loud that I could barely contain myself from wincing.Tyrone immediately got my full attention again as he ran over to my side again.Why did he do that?Why was he just looking for me?Why?!When he placed a kiss in the crook of my neck, I tensed. That was too much of a good thing, more of a bad thing. I was lucky that the dress was high-necked, so we had no skin-to-skin contact."I had to look for you for far too long." The crowning moment came when a slight growl was heard.However, I understood something at that moment.That wasn't Tyrone.No.This was his wolf who had gained the upper hand, which is why I had to deal with him.Addressing my wolf, I said, "Aurore, his wolf is your problem." You could hear in my voice how confused and completely overwhelmed I was.She mumbled, "Um, no thanks. You're doing well, I don't want to bother you any further.""Angsthase!""You're no
In the entrance hall, we took the door that was at the back. It was exactly the one Amanda had stepped out of yesterday when I met her.A corridor came into my field of vision and it was narrower than the one on the upper floor. There were also some paintings hanging here. Presumably, everything was papered with them, but these were works of art and not relatives or whoever was pictured on the others.Amanda continued to talk, but I was distracted by the surroundings so I barely noticed. That was rude, but there was a lot to see. Besides, she was in a torrent of talk and didn't want to be interrupted.Just as we reached a door and Amanda was about to open it, I heard a cold voice behind us say, "Aurela."I automatically turned around and immediately spotted Tyrone coming towards us. Joy looked completely different, but that's exactly the emotion you should expect from him.I had hoped that I wouldn't have to see him again today, but unfortunately, he was brutally murdered. I had to pu
I closed the door behind Amanda and turned to her. She walked to the middle of the room and then turned to me. It was kind of weird that she had the same eyes as Tyrone.Sure, many children had the same eye color as their parents. But it was also the same shape and this dark green was something of a rarity. At least I had never met anyone with that particular color.She had a smile on her face and asked, "How are you?" This was a very logical question that started most conversations. It was good that she took it into her own hands because I couldn't think of anything, it was all too new for that."Good thanks and you?" I managed to put on a slight smile, which I was very proud of."Also. How did you sleep?" She looked around the room, so I automatically did the same. There wasn't anything wrong with it. Except of course the color, which in my opinion was represented too often."Good, good. By the way, it's a nice room." A small part of it may be a lie, but politeness demanded this sta
If we accepted him seriously, then we were trapped. He could find us anywhere, which would make running away pointless. This would practically seal the fact that we would ultimately complete the Mate band.We had to avert all of this somehow and for that, we needed a good strategy.I was still standing in the same spot, desperately running a hand through my hair. I closed my eyes to better concentrate so nothing else could distract me.Aurore answered confidently, "We will find a solution. It can hardly be our fate that we have to submit to this man. Rejection is not an impossibility."But how should we do that?Tyrone obviously didn't want that when he was already talking about the next step.After taking a deep breath to calm myself, I asked, "And how?""You ask a good question and we'll find a good answer to that soon."At least one of us had the optimism within us. For me, that was a big miss.My wolf cleared her throat and said, "You should change into something else. We don't ha
That hit me like a slap in the face. I was separated from them and, if I was unlucky, I never saw them again. Essentially, I had lost her and was trapped in a house with a strange man who scared me.Tyrone said, “Welcome to the Darkmoon Pack.”With those final words, another wave came over me and it was powerful enough to almost bring me to my knees as it was so overwhelming. I gave everything I had to stay firmly on both feet and always looked back at him.The connection to the whole pack was palpable and I didn't miss the fact that it was much larger than my previous one. There were many members, of which I was now a member.Tyrone looked at me and said, "You're the first one who doesn't make a sound when taking the picture."I raised an unimpressed eyebrow and asked, "Why should I?""My pack is much stronger and has more than four times as many members. A recording has brought down werewolves that come from a place larger than your old one."Aurore growled and said, "My dear, you u
