Davies POV I indeed regretted saying that to this cute tigress!Her face became pale and she quivered at the last words from my mouth. I could swear she would have spread her wings and fly away if only she was a bird. Or she would have gladly killed me with her eyes, if she could."Hey, don't be scared, I was just joking. We don't eat anyone and we live like normal humans," I rushed out, trying to pacify the goddess before me.Why on earth would someone be so gullible? We are definitely not cannibals that eats human. If she was ever told that, it was because she always suspects them too much.She gave me a suspicious look. I wanted to take her hand but she moved away from me and I looked at her trying hard not to laugh.“ You don't expect me to eat my own child, do you?" I asked, raising my brow.There was a frown on her face and I was dying to tap into her mindlink to hear whatever she was harboring there. Unfortunately, we weren't bonded yet.“ Your-child?" She asked, her eyes sear
Davie's POV Was she a cannibal? “ Be a gentleman when you are with a lady," she said, smirking. I can't believe she bit my lips for making her feel good.“ Shouldn't you also be a lady and enjoy the kiss?" I asked, smiling faintly.I love how fierce she is, even if she cuts off my perfect kiss. Then I heard her asking again, about what I can do about the heat.I hesitated before I replied to her." Use magic.”She didn't say anything for a while and when I was sure she was going to object, she talked." Are you sure it would be safe?” She asked.There was a little uncertainty in her eyes. " Don't worry, you'll get used to me when we are fully mated,” I didn't dare to say those words aloud. She would have my neck, I was sure of it. I nodded before I started to chant a few words and soon water started to gather from nowhere before she could know what was happening, we had a large river in front of us. This I had wanted to do before but I didn't want to scare her. Stephanie stared
Stephanie's POVDavies was becoming more and more annoying. How could he say that to me? He just called me ugly, again!I felt like killing him. He was definitely going down with what he was saying. Does he regret being mated to me? I know he would have wanted a very beautiful Lycan woman to be his mate and not a werewolf who seemed powerless and homeless.But I was beautiful. I know I was a beauty to behold. I might not be powerful but beauty was one of my strong traits. Too bad I was being paired to blind bats as mates! With a smirk and a newfound determination, I planned to deal with the him. Although I was very shy, I pulled my clothes. Could you believe that fucking Davies dared to turn away? But before he turned around, I caught his face turning crimson red while his gaze was filled with lust.What an hypocrite!I got into the cold water and every part of me was grateful for the peace the water brought. Even if I didn't get anything and a very mean man had talked my body down
Stephanie POVI didn't expect him to answer me truthfully because he wasn't obliged to. Not even when I had gotten so mad and said mean words to him but he did."I went to check the fog. I need more details for me to be able to get rid of it," he replied.I felt guilty for thinking he disappeared because he was making fun of me."You should have told me," I said looking down at my hands that were inside the water. "Seeing you enjoying the water, I didn't want to disturb your swim. I thought you wouldn't notice that I was gone," he replied." Sorry I did," I said shyly.He chuckled at what I said. "We should get out of the water," he said and stood up showing me his abs.Wow! That was mouthwatering but I wouldn't dare look down so as not to run into deeper trouble, so I quickly closed my eyes.Davies chuckled softly. "Why are you acting like you've not seen a naked man before? At least, our baby is an evidence," he said in mockery.I wouldn't blame him for thinking that way but I did
Stephanie's POV "Mysterious?" He snorted. "Why do you think I'm mysterious?" The way he was looking at me showed that he was mocking me.I was glad that he didn't find my words offensive, rather he was amused by it. Just as I was about to talk, I saw Kilan coming towards us."Your friend is coming," I called Davie's attention." Yes I told him to bring us a drink since you won't allow me to use magic, " he said not even looking at Kilan's direction.I wondered when he called Kilan because he wasn't on the phone or anything. In fact, since I've met him, I've not seen them with any gadgets and in this century, gadgets are numerous. I had left mine at my small room because I didn't want anyone knowing where I was headed to."Here's it, sir," Kilan said when he got to us.He didn't even act as if he saw me there. Heron pointed to where he was going to place the drink and then Kilan left without hesitation.Till now I'm still wondering what was the relationship between those three. Since
Stephanie POV I bit my lips hard as my mind ran in different directions. If he was angry, would he hurt me? With my heart racing in different directions, I began to panicked until I heard the voice of my wolf."Is he taking us somewhere?" My wolf, Laila, asked curiously.I was just as curious as she was but I made sure to hide mine. "I don't read minds, Laila" I said as I stared at his hand that was right in front of me."He might want to-""Can you let me be, Laila? I'm still trying to figure this man out. Don't add to my trouble" I snapped at her.Laila can be a curious cat at times and it's always a pain in my ass. She had not once or twice made me run into trouble with her curiosity. " Come on, I am trying to help here," she said with a pout." Yeah… I can see that…" I responded with an eye roll before blocking her.After a second of silence from within, I hesitated for a while before I took Davie's hand. He held my hand and started to lead me along a path. At first, I had tho
Stephanie's POVOpening my eyes, only for me to see the most beautiful sight of my life. It was as if he teleported into the land of the fairies. Standing before me was a valley filled with flowers of different kinds and colours. The place was brightened up by its beauty and I stood in awe, staring amazingly at the beauty of nature. An exclamation escaped from my mouth and walked slowly into the beautiful garden, staring at the beauty of the place. The fragrance coming from those beautiful flowers was intoxicating me and building a tower of satisfaction around me. I haven't felt like this in ages. I was never opportune to be close to such a beautiful garden because they are mostly for the wealthy and seeing this, I had butterflies in my stomach. "Oh my goodness! Did we visit heaven?" Laila suddenly exclaimed."I think so," I replied to her as I walked slowly, touching all the flowers."I don't want to leave anymore," she said with emotion rushing through her. "Me too," I agreed.
Stephanie POV I looked at the direction the growls came from and my feet wobbled. Rogues!Davies held me tightly, preventing me from falling to the ground. They were snarling aggressively towards us.I looked at Davies and I saw that he stood there unbothered. I might be angry with him but I don't want him to get hurt. These rogues were troublesome and mostly moved around in huge numbers. "We need to leave," I said to him."We are going nowhere. I'm not afraid of them," he said calmly. Davies definitely trusted his magic more but he would be doing more harm to himself if he uses his magic all the time. He would be the target of a lot of people and he might end up dying."Don't put too much confidence in your magic. I'm sure there are people better at it than you, " I said to him.By the time I was done talking the rogues were already closer to us and I saw that they were almost twenty. If they are hungry rogues, they might want to feed on us. Rogue are the heartless part of the w
Stephanie's POV It had been three days since the battle with the seekers and I must confess, it still gives me chills each time I think about it. I could literally see death right in front of me and the danger that I had subjected my baby to. Each time I thought of it, cold chills ran through my spines, giving me a rude awakening of my current state. After much back and forth with Davies about being restricted from moving about and being locked up in my room, he lifted the ban but at a distance, there was a pair of guards watching me. At that moment I was in the garden, sitting on the stump of a large tree with my hands folded in front of me. Earlier, I was skimming through a book but I soon lost concentration and now I was staring into space like a lost soul. The sound of dried leaves protesting when they were trampled on made me shoot my head upwards, only to see a maid approaching me. She stopped in f
Third POV The Oracles were fully prepared to take down the seekers, hence the fight between the opposing parties intensified to a greater level. When it became clearer to the seekers that no matter the amount of efforts that channeled into their fight, they wouldn't gain the upper hand, they began to retreat. Sensing this, The Oracles kept chasing after them until they sent all of them on their heels, thereby clearing the forest for Davies and Stephanie Trembling at the change of event, Stephanie grasped Davies fingers who wore a stoic expression. “Do you know about this?” She asked, her voice shaking and breath hitched. Davies shook his head in the negative, earning himself a nudge from Stephanie who found it hard to believe The Oracles were an equal match for The Seekers and so she believed that before he could solicit their help, there must have been a relationship with them. “I have no idea they wi
Third POV Stephanie was still thinking of how to escape all through the next three days. She couldn't bring herself to hurt Davies and the lycans. These people had treated her very well since she came to the Kingdom. “ You have been moody for a while, Lady Stephanie,” Kira's voice dragged her from her thoughts.Stephanie just smiled faintly, not ready to share her secret with anyone. After a few seconds of silence, Stephanie finally sighed.“ My lady, pull yourself together. The king wants to see you. He is in the royal forest…”Stephanie squinted, however she stood up reluctantly. “ Let's go.” She didn't want Davies to suspect her intention. She walked slowly toward the garden but Kira pointed at a path for her.“ Just follow the lane. I want to take care of something urgent, my lady.”With that Kira skipped away and Stephanie found herself walking toward the lane. Few minutes later, her eyes caugh
Stephanie's POV Still bothered with the conversation of the maids from earlier, I decided to pay a visit to Raina in the dungeon. Getting out of my chambers was a hassle as Davies had stationed two guards to be by the door, preventing me from leaving. Pacing about my chamber, I brainstormed on the perfect way to wriggle myself out but I couldn't think of anything. Just when I was about to give up, the door creaked open and my personal maid walked in with a tray of food. “The Alpha asked me to bring this to you.” She said, setting the tray on the bedside table. With a curt bow, she turned to leave. She was already at the door when I grabbed her arm, pulling her back into the center of the room. “Can you do me a favor?” I asked. Since she wasn't expecting such a request from me, it took a while before I got a consenting nod and a look of uncertainty from her. Relieved, I whispered my simple plan into her ear. Her eyes bulged out at my request and I could see hesitation on her s
Stephanie's POV It's been one week since Davies opened up to me. I was still worried about the seekers and the safety of my children. “Are you certain?” One of the maids in the clique asked and the tale bearer nodded to confirm her words. “I wonder who she is and why exactly he is hunting for her like she is a prey.” Another huffed. “Most Alpha’s think they have the world at the tip of their fingers, doing and undoing things whenever they like and how it pleases them.” She added with an eye roll. “ Why did you say so?” One of them asked.The maid cleared her throat before whispering. However, I noticed I could hear her clearly. It all began after taking Davies' blood. I felt my senses were sharper and I became even stronger. I haven't told Davies yet of these changes because I want to be sure.“ I heard he rejected the said lady because of his lover even when he found out she was his mate. So cruel….”“ Maybe he just realized his mistakes?” Another interjected which was followed
Third POV Raina kept creating a scene, yelling on the top of her voice to make Davies return to her side but he blocked his ears to her screams. Since he was unable to get anything meaningful from her, Davies returned to his Chambers to nurse his wounds. Dejected, he slowly lowered himself on the foot of his bed, his head buried in his hands as he let out multiple signs of frustration. A while before now, he believed he was finally getting to the point of breakthrough where he would put an end to the seekers. “She keeps getting on my nerves.” He sucked his teeth, pushing behind Raina’s image as he rubbed his hands together. Suddenly, he began to hear muffled voices in the hallway. Wondering what was going on, he stepped out of his chambers only to see Stephanie struggling with the guard. “You should be getting some rest, why?” He asked and at once the two warring individuals turned towards him. While the
DAVIES POVMaybe I celebrated too quickly because she immediately went stiff. The smile on her face slowly faded. Was she truly not accepting me?I could feel Draugluin brawling inside and I tried to stop its aura enveloping us. I couldn't scare her more than she did.“ The seekers…” she muttered, clutching her stomach tightly. I squinted at her reaction. Was she concerned about what Raina told her? “ Stephanie…”She suddenly blurted out, taking a step backward. “ I can accept you, Davies. I can accept Kylo and Draugluin too. But…. What about my child? The seekers would stop at nothing to…”I felt her worry. I felt her fear, afterall, no one can feel my predicament like me. I was torn between an identity I never bargained for and an identity I wanted so badly. The identity of Stephanie's mate, so I could spend my whole life with her. Without the fear of her rejecting me. But it seems the identity I never barg
Davies' POV Her curiosity has begun to terrify me. If only she hadn't seen the journal, I wouldn't be here, thinking of the perfect tale to tell her that would make her less terrified. Feeling frustrated, I turned my back on her, heading towards the table when she grabbed my arm, causing me to halt. “Aren't you going to answer my questions?” She yelled, her eyes almost popping out of her eyelids. The fear in them couldn't be missed. “Everything will be fine.” I said, flashing her a reassuring smile to calm her down but her expression remained the same. “Please Davies, I want to know everything.” She stressed her words. “I want to know every single thing so I can be mentally and physically prepared.” Grabbing her head with both hands, she yelled, “I understand that I’m in grave danger but please… don't keep me in the dark.” Pressing my lips into a thin line,I tossed my head backwards as I honest
STEPHANIE POVI was still in Davies' study, sipping from my mug of tea while I awaited his arrival. He promised to come as soon as possible. However, I was becoming bored.Recalling the heap of flowers I had fallen on a few days ago, I sucked my teeth in anger. That bitch was truly ruthless. I still shook at the hatred in her eyes towards me. Raina hated me. But how on earth did she get that flower poisoned?“No wonder I couldn't perceive anything from them even when I fell on them.” I muttered, pushing my hair away from my face with a hand while grasping the mug with the other. I squinted at the thought of checking those flowers again played into my head. I know Davies wouldn't let me get close to those flowers again but I really want to check them out.Setting the mug on the table, I headed towards the door. Before proceeding to the garden to have a look at the flowers, I looked around the hallway to confirm that no one was tailing me. Davies has several shadow guards on the loo
