•• Arabella’s POV •••“Ari!” Rosa squealed as she opened the door and saw me. “What a long time!”I laughed when I saw how excited she was to see me, and we hugged at the door.It indeed had been a long time since we last saw each other.We used to play together when we were kids, but Rosa moved awa
“Rosa, I need to have a fake mark on my neck,” I told Rosa our purpose for coming here. “Is there a spell for it, and can you do it?”“You want to fake a mark?” she asked in surprise and looked at both Max and me curiously.“It’s a long story,” I told her.“Summarize it,” she said lazily and wasn't
•• Arabella’s POV •••I felt my cheeks heat up as I was embarrassed when I heard Rosa’s words.Why would we need to have sex?“The purpose of a marking is to signal the mutual possession of mates, which is based on matebond,” Rosa explained as if she could read my mind. “So, to fake a mark, there ne
He nibbled on my bottom lips before his tongue swept across it and demanded entry to my mouth.I parted my lips and moaned when our tongues met and tangled with each other slowly.It was different than our previous kiss.This time, it was gentle yet still passionate.Slow…Like we wanted to explore
•• Arabella’s POV •••I opened my eyes, looked around, and found myself still in that hidden room, naked on the bed with a blanket covering me.The glow on the moonstones had faded, and the room had plunged into darkness.I guessed Max must have woken up and let me rest instead of waking me up toget
“Particularly slow? Does it mean…”“Yeah… I guess even if our mate is in front of us, we wouldn't be able to detect it right away,” he said calmly, as if it didn't really matter if he wasn't able to sense his mate.My heart went out to him when I saw his calm expression.“Poor Max and Cyrus…”Even I
•• Arabella’s POV •••“Let’s take a shower first before we have breakfast,” Max said and led me to the bedroom.We went to Rosa’s place at dawn as we didn't really want anyone to know, so we still had time to get ready for breakfast with the pack members.Max asked me to take a shower first, and whe
“Say what you want, but you don't feel nervous anymore after he asked you that question,” Iris pointed out.“Don't be nervous, Arra. You are their Luna. You have nothing to worry about.,” Max said before I could reply to Iris.Yes, as their Luna, nothing would happen.Furthermore, it would only be f
He nodded fervently and repeated my words like a mantra, “You are right. My woman is always right; even when you are wrong, you are right.”And I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore.“You better remember that,” I warned him.“I will,” he promised earnestly, adding, “We better finish our shower so
•• Rosa’s POV •••“Jax... What... What are you doing here?”He didn’t answer my question but began taking his clothes off while gazing at me with such a scorching gaze that it made me blush.When he was naked, he stepped in front of me and pulled away my hand and arm, pinning them above my head with
“You wanted to give me the stone? So there shouldn’t be any tests?” I asked her incredulously.She stayed silent, and I knew who the real culprit was.I stood up and glared at the only mischievous person in the room. “Dad!”“Rosa, my daughter, I wanted to show the Witch Queen of your power so far,”
•• Rosa’s POV •••Just what in the world is going on?“Rosa, are you okay?” Ari asked as she helped me to stand up.“What... How are you here?” I asked in shock. “What’s going on?”“Let’s talk once we get out of here, okay?” she asked and led me to the portal.“Wait!” I stopped moving. “Jax...”“Don

•• Jaxon’s POV •••I drove a distance away from them, enough for them not to notice but close enough for me not to lose sight of them.It wasn’t a wonder Dagon hid the stone at his last hideout.Damn demon, I thought to myself.What a pussy for using such a trick to wipe out the whole world after hi
“Dad? Elder? Lillian?” I called out to them as I looked around my surrounding only to be replied by the echoes of my own voice.Shit, this was bad!I never thought we would be separated like this!How in the world was I going to find the crys-Suddenly, I felt a very dark aura from the crystal that
•• Rosa’s POV •••After saying goodbye to Max and Ari, the four of us got into the car with Dad, in his real appearance as the driver, the Elder wizard sitting on the front passenger seat while Lillian and I sat at the back.I glanced around secretly and couldn’t find any sign of Jaxon, which I thou
The thought of Rosa dying made my heart feel like it stopped beating as my fear for her safety intensified.“Jax, Rosa might die. We can’t let it happen. We can’t let it happen,” Rhun kept mumbling in my mind and paced around, ready to take over my body to stop Rosa from going.“I will go with her.
