DARIAN'S POV Demian, Elva, and I had been seated at the dining table for almost twenty minutes before King Albert finally returned. "I apologize for the delay," he said as he walked in. He glanced at us, and when he didn't see Selena, he turned around to the Devas. "Where's my daughter?" "She's still making up," answered one of the Devas. "Should I go and fetch her?" "Do not worry," replied King Albert, "she's already coming out." There were four Devas in the dining room there with us, standing. Four other Devas came descending the stairs with trays of steaming food in their arms. The aroma of the dishes filled the air as they served them before us. There was a tray of baked beans, a bowl of grilled chicken laps, a bowl of cauliflower salad, four jugs of wine, and many more. It was a banquet before our eyes. I suddenly remembered the soldiers and turned to confront King Albert, "What did you do to the soldiers?" "The soldiers? Ah… don't worry about them. They were only revo
ELVA'S POV My eyes widened when I saw Darian and Selena holding hands and descending the stairs. I cringed at first, but told myself, "It's alright, Elva. You should understand that he's just playing along." "Isn't that beautiful?" King Albert said, his gaze absorbed by the two who were descending the stairs. The dining table had six seats. Darian came behind me and whispered to me to stand up. As I stood, he took my seat and pushed it slightly to make space for Elva's seat which originally was beside her father's. Now, her seat stood between mine and Darian's. With a wry smile on her face, she took a seat and clung closer to Darian. "You two look perfect for each other," said King Albert. My intestines twisted at the smile that came up on Selena's face as her father complimented her and Darian. Shame on her! "Guess what, Dad? We kissed in the room just before coming out," she divulged. I almost threw up a chunk of vegetable I had in my mouth on hearing that. I gripped my for
ELVA’S POV My lips quaked as I tried to find the words to tell Demian to take it easy on me. His meat was too big, and he still thrust hard upon that. “Take it easy,” I begged. The mixture of pleasure and pain was insane, and that wasn’t what I signed up for. “I’m guessing my brother has never fucked you this way,” he said, adding more force to his thrust as he sent a powerful one that made my waist jerk suddenly. I pulled myself out of his grip on my waist and turned around immediately, staring at him with utter disbelief. “Do you want to kill me?” I asked him, panting along with him. But his pants weren’t a sign of tiredness. He wanted to finish me right there and then. “I’m not there yet,” his voice was coarse, “let’s finish up, Elva.” “No, not if you’re going to continue like this,” I said to him, scooting over to where he had dropped my underwear. “I can’t take it, please.” “Aye. Alright, I’ll be gentle with you,” he promised. If only he could feel how hot I felt at the
Elva's POV"Tell me you have been fucking yourself, Elva," Darian suddenly stormed into the room and yanked the curtain of the bathroom open."What?" I quickly grabbed my towel and wrapped it across my chest. "What's wrong with you?""I said, tell me that you've been fucking yourself, Elva!" He roared."Dude, you shouldn't just barge into a lady's bathroom and embarrass her that way," Demian stood up from the bed.Darian only flashed a one-second gaze at him before returning back to me."Explain, Elva," he nodded at his younger brother, "why is he here? The vacant store room…your sweat…his sweat… the smell of your secretion… Explain it all right now."“I…”“Nothing happened between us, unless you want something to happen,” Demian said, “you’re tripping over nothing.”“It’s just like he said, Darian, nothing happened between us,” my voie cracked. I wasn’t a good liar. Anyone would easily tell that I wasn’t speaking the truth.Darian inched closer to me and started to sniff my body all
ELVA'S POV My heartbeat thudded in my ears like the gallop of an excited horse as I woke up in the middle of the night. The silence of the whole environment enveloped me as I looked out through the window. But there was only one sound persistent by that time of the night. Darian and Selena were at it again. I had just dreamt of them getting wedded and that made me wake up sweating all over. I had no one to talk to. No one to explain my feelings to. No one to tell about the dangers in my heart. Demian was only interested in getting physical with me. He clearly showed no sign of concern when what we did broke my relationship with his brother. And if I tried telling my wolf, he wouldn't be sympathetic to me. He'd blame me for starting it with Demian. "Maybe he has fallen in love with Selena," I muttered to myself, sighing as I laid my head back on the bed. Tears trickled from the side of my eyes, staining my pillow immediately. "No," I sniffed back, "it's not worth it." I wiped m
DARIAN'S POV "Honey, you're having a nightmare again," I heard Selena's voice faintly before I felt her touch on my skin. "Wake up," she tapped me, "wake up." I grumbled and rolled over on my back. "Look how you're sweating," she panicked, handing a towel over to me, "what's happening." "Nothing's wrong," I said to her, "if there's something wrong, it could be the weather." "It's night, and it's cold. There's no reason you should be sweating now," she suggested. She touched my head and asked, "Are you running a fever?" "No, Selena," I said, gently bringing her hand down and sitting up, "it hasn't been up to three hours since we slept. And we had just had sex before sleeping, so I don't expect myself to be in the best state of health." For the past few days, Selena had made it a rule that we both had sex before sleeping at night and I had been playing along with that. But it seemed that it had made me develop a night sickness because it'd usually disappear during the day. "Ar
DARIAN'S POV Shock was all over Demian's face. "You really did?" He asked me. "I did," I said to him, "but first of all, I'll let you know that the people who you went after were the Devas. They have the ability to shift between male and female forms." "What?" "Yes. They were probably in their male forms when you went after them," I said to Demian. "Darian, those people are doing something dark — something very dark," he said, his voice almost rising into a panic. "Keep your voice low," I hushed him, "someone might be eavesdropping on us." He took a deep breath and then continued, "They were headed for a dark underground entrance with a corpse of an unconscious girl which they carried." "Did you find out what they did with the corpse?" I asked. "No. That was where Elva and I decided to stop. We couldn't go any further because it became creepier as we advanced," Demian said. "Hmmm… This is more serious than I thought," I said. I had noticed those movements some nights while
ELVA'S POV "I think he intended to keep me busy here with the fake Selena, 'cause I walked in on her naked and I couldn't help but want to sleep with her," Darian observed. "Could that mean that he also plans to make Selena immune to your ability?" Demian asked me. "Probably his entire army," I said. "We need to stop him immediately," Darian said. "Yes, let's go," his brother echoed. We rushed out of the room and headed for the underground. I had told my soldiers to brace up for war in case things went south. I called Darian and Demian to a stop when we got to the corridor. We knew how powerful King Albert was. We needed to fight him together in order to stand a winning chance. However, the Devas were equally powerful opponents who could stand in our way of fighting the dark werewolf lord. If we intended to defeat the werewolf lord without the Devas interrupting our battle, we needed to find a way to craft an easy way to defeat them. I had an idea. "Give me your sword," I sai
