Aros pov
We are only five days in, but it seems like Enya is handling the heat like a champ. Besides, she's been feeling much better for a few hours now, so I think the heat will be over by the end of the day. That would be perfect because I was forced to move Vince to another cell- since he's been raging for three days. He hasn't told me why he's been acting like an idiot, but I have a feeling it isn't just about the heat and his wolf wanting to break out. He wouldn't try to get to Enya's father if it was about those things. As soon as the heat stops, I'm getting Vince over here and drag his ass through the packhouse if he refuses to tell me what happened.
On the bright side, Brent is fine, he was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and our baby is healthy. These days have forced me to face reality and accept things as they are. B
Vincent povThe moment one of the guards, who was instructed to keep me locked here at all costs, approaches my cell, I know that something must have happened. Something serious enough to let me go before the heat dies down and Enya is safe near me.He quickly opens the cell door, puts on a pair of gloves, and unlocks the cuffs around my ankles and wrists. "Alpha, I believe you should go upstairs. Don't worry; Beta Aros told me that Luna's heat is over. There is little to no chance of another wave; it's safe to leave the cells." Between stutters, the guard tells me enough to reassure me that I'm not putting Enya in unnecessary danger by leaving this place.I look at the guard while holding my wrist and let out a sigh. Relief spreads through me- I can finally leave. Howev
Enya povI can't believe Aros has been pretending to like me all this time. It took a little more pressure for him to crack the shell and throw everything he thinks over me when I least expected it. But then again, did I have to be so naive to think anyone would enjoy the company of someone who slaughtered his species for years? Aros is right; I'm not doing enough around here- I should be grateful they're treating me so well and give back twice as much effort.My first stop is the bedroom. I can't walk through the pack with puffy eyes and tears streaming down my cheeks. If I want to be with Vince, I have to maintain a certain image because I believe Luna has to appear perfect in every situation. I open the bedroom door and go straight to the bathroom. I wash my face and make sure my hair looks decent; then, I walk to the closet and find some new clo
Vincent povI don't want to go back down there, but it's necessary. I can't be the selfish asshole I'd be and withhold such important details about Enya's life. If anyone, she deserves to know.As soon as the shithead confessed everything, I tried to break free of the chains. Everything I could see turned red, and for once, my wolf and I were of one mind- we had to kill the fucker. Unfortunately, Aros and the guards arrived in time to take me elsewhere. I'd regret what I had done, Aros would say. Maybe he was right, but I still wish I had a chance to get my hands on him. I have no idea if Enya would ever believe me if I broke the news to her, so I'm kind of glad the man is still alive and will tell her. I hope he has enough brain cells to tell her the truth, so I don't have to force the information out of him. After all, who would beli
Enya povI'm in shock? Horrified? Stuck in utter disbelief that I've lived a life that wasn't my own? Not only that my father isn't my father; he's a stranger who once loved my mother, but that she's still alive? And I have an actual dad out there who's a werewolf? How is any of this supposed to make sense? Everything I knew just shattered to pieces, and the only thing left in my life is Vince. My life has been nothing but a lie until this man found me, took me in, and accepted me for who I am. It'll take me years until I'll be able to pay him back for all he has done for me, and at the end of the day, I'm grateful to call him my own. Without Vince, I'd be stuck in the illusion I call life, or I'd be lost if this man decided to tell me the truth.I don't know where he's taking me, and I don't care, as long as we get away from everyone.
Vincent povEnya leaves the room with an amused expression on her face, and I can't help but smile at the blush on her cheeks. She truly is a gift sent by the Moon Goddess, and I can't wait to see where our journey takes us. I wait about two minutes until I can't hear her footsteps in the hallway and run to the bathroom. I don't want her to find out about what I'm preparing before the moment is right.Come to think of it; I've never been so excited to get laid. But then again, I've never wanted a woman for more than one night- Enya is different. I want to make love to my mate, not fuck her senseless like some other chick who wanted a night in the Alpha's bed. My Luna will get nothing but the best, even if I have to come up with something new to surprise her every time I need some intimacy with her. Of course, I won't demand it- if anyt
Enya povWhatever it was, I loved the feeling! Just a mere touch, and I'm burning up, yet Vince somehow knows how to touch me the right way. He makes me feel something I've never felt before, and as soon as I feel something building inside me like I'm about to jump over the edge, he stops.He steps out of the tub, but I don't dare look at him. Then, Vincent slides his arms under me and lifts me out of the water. His previous warning echoes in my head when I feel the need to cover myself. All this time, I've thought that I'm disgusting, that my body is nothing Vincent wants to see, but as always, he proves me wrong. His eyes take me in like I'm the most beautiful thing he gets to see. Vincent carries me to the bed and carefully lays me on it. He pauses as his eyes scan every little, or big, imperfection I've tried to hide, but there's no disgust visi
Vincent povWe lie in bed; Enya sleeps in my arms, and I can't fall asleep. Even when I try to close my eyes, I'm too excited to pass out. Now, I know what absolute bliss feels like. To be one with my mate and hold her while she sleeps is something I wouldn't change for the world.I run my fingers through her hair, and something unusual catches my eye. Why didn't I notice this earlier? I move a little closer to check if I didn't imagine things, but there it is- impossible to mistake for an ordinary birthmark. Carefully, I get out of bed, pull the covers over Enya's body, and sneak into the bathroom. Grabbing the clothes I left on the floor, I get dressed and leave the bedroom. I won't be away for long; I lock the door so no one can disturb her sleep- Enya needs it. Many women sleep for a full day after being marked, but since she's not a pureblood w
Enya pov I wake up alone. I rub my eyes and slowly take in my surroundings, but Vince isn't around. As I climb out of bed, fear overtakes me. What if Vincent regrets what we did and left so he wouldn't be constantly reminded of his bad decision. What if he didn't want to mark me but realised that far too late? The scenarios run through my mind as I rush to the bathroom, still holding onto the tiny bit of hope that he woke up early and needed to freshen up. But nothing. What is it with that man that he always gets what he wants and leaves me behind as soon as I'm not as convenient? Perhaps Leader Dirk was right; maybe it's not worth it to try and view werewolves as humans while they're not. Fuck it, even I'm not human. Who the Hell even knows what I am anymore?
