Xynathius’s POVThe early morning we got ready to head for Karica’s former pack in the South Continent. She was bubbling with energy and there was this happy gait in her step. Singing this song of spring, I was sure belonged to her pack. She packed her luggage as well as mine. I couldn't peel my eyes off my beautiful mate. How was she so perfect? We had decided to stay for a few days so she could properly bond again and spend time with her family. She had been away too long and I wanted for her to be happy. “All done,” she announced and wrapped her arms around me. Kissing every inch of my face she revealed how thankful she was to me. “Stop exciting me or we will be delayed by several hours,” I teased and she instantly stepped back from me, biting her lip. I mind-linked Kamryn, and he arrived with several warriors to carry our luggage downstairs. We said our goodbyes and I handed the reins of the pack to Mom Nashia and Kamryn. Thadieus had sent over royal guards and had promised
Karica’s POVIt was still morning when we landed in South Cambia due to the time difference between both continents. The air was slightly crisp but nowhere near as cold as that of the North. We had very moderate winters in the South. I took a deep breath and the familiar smell of cherry blossoms filled my nostrils. They lined the sides of the road and their pink flowers blanketed the grey turf. “These cherry blossoms are beautiful just like my mate,” Xynathius spoke from beside me, a hint of a smile tugging at the sides of his lips. “Stop the car, let's take a picture underneath the tree,” I offered and he nodded before parking it at the side. “Come,” he offered me his hand and I gladly took it. The pink and white cherry blossoms were raining down due to a strong gale and we stood under the tree letting them fall in our hair. Xyn looked cute with flowers decorating his hair and I heartily laughed. The big scary lycan was standing under a flowering tree with his mate, who could ha
Xynathius’s POVI stared directly into her father’s eyes now. I wouldn't let him hurt her anymore and he seemed a bit taken aback by my attitude. Maybe he thought I was a jerk like him who enjoyed hurting his close ones. Indeed that was the impression I had given him at our previous meeting. “I apologise, Alpha Xynathius, it's just she caused irreparable damage to the pack’s reputation,” he faltered a bit and from my peripherals, I saw Kilran with a smug face. “The damage wasn't intentional though and we all made mistakes. It's time to let bygones be left in the past. If I can forgive her, so can you.” I pulled Karica into my arms and held her by the waist, showing her obstinate father that she meant the world to me now. He swiftly nodded at me before saying.“As you wish Alpha Xynathius.” But the look in his eyes betrayed him, it hadn't softened a bit for her. “Let's go inside now, have brunch and rest a bit. You people must be tired and hungry,” Kilran offered and gestured for u
Karica’s POV I confided in my siblings regarding my powers and they were stunned. We were sitting in the common room on bean bags. The three of us were cuddled near the fireplace. I swirled my hands in a circle and a small fireball materialised between my hands. Burning bright, the energy it exuded pulsated between my hands. “Unbelievable, you are indeed part witch,” Kilran exclaimed as Kaina watched the fiery ball in admiration. Their faces flashed with unbelievable excitement as the fire was reflected in their eyes. “Who would have thought hybrids could be possible?” Kaina spoke mesmerised and I threw the fireball into the fireplace, it cackled and burned brighter for a second. “How many elements can you control?” Kilran was still wide-eyed from what he had witnessed and I gave them the rundown of all of them. Showing the small feats I could achieve. “Our supernatural world is always changing and unexpected keeps happening,” Kilran said.“It doesn't end here there is more biz
Xynathius’s POVAfter discussing strategies and pack alliances with Alpha Wakins I informed him about the vampire attacks and instructed him to take needed measures as well. This was Karica’s old pack and Vildus could hurt her family to get his way. Alpha Wakins was a tad surprised but promised to tighten his security. I didn't tell him about Karica’s powers though. That was not my secret to reveal and I knew to not expect this man to be thrilled by any means. After our meeting ended, one of their warriors led me to the room I requested. Karica’s old room. Our luggage had already been placed there. She was still with her siblings and I wanted her to spend as much time as she wished with them. Walking inside was like being caught in the whirlwind of her old life. The life she peacefully lived before I barged into it. The heart of it was as beautiful as she was. I took it all in and revelled in the feeling it evoked. I observed how she was a Marvel fan. The posters of the Scarlet Wi
Karica’s POVAs soon as I sat beside Kilran and offered him a smile, he tensed. Watching me wearily as his verdant eyes inked golden. His wolf was very much on the surface. Taking a deep whiff he leaned closer and growled. “Why the hell do you smell like someone who might be my mate?” I was dumbfounded and stared back at him in sheer confusion. His glowing eyes shifted to the scarf on my neck. Then his hand reached out and grabbed it. I let him take it as he ardently pressed it to his nose and audibly gasped. His claws extended and eyes completely turned gold-hued. ‘Mate’His wolf’s voice reverberated and rumbled from his throat and life drained out of me. That scarf was given to me by Selia. Was she? The mere thought befuddled my brain and I ardently glanced at my mate. He was curiously watching us.“What's going on?” my father demanded, not understanding. “This scarf. Who does it belong to? Who gave it to you, Karica?” Kilran almost shouted. The agitation in his voice was clear
Xynathius’s POVOur trip was cut short because of the mate incident. Kilran was not comfortable with me and I had no plans of aggravating him. I knew my actions would have consequences but I would have never thought that Selia would turn out to be Kilran’s mate. Alpha males have a very distinct sense of smell and they can recognise even the faintest of scent belonging to their mates. I had no clue Selia had given a scarf to Karica. The fate surely had a way of fucking up our lives. We were all set to go. Karica’s heart was burdened and I knew she was only putting up a bold front. We stood near our car. Kaina had come to bid us farewell. “You are leaving so soon?” Kaina hugged her sister while wearing a small pout. “I will visit again when everything is a bit settled. You take care of yourself for the time being,” Karica embraced her back and brushed away her hair. Kaina nodded before turning towards me and reassuringly saying.“Don't worry about Kil, he will get over it once he
Karica’s POV“One whole week? No way, I will bring her with me,” Xynathius almost roared, his eyes narrowed at his sister. My mate’s displeasure through the bond was overwhelming, he was not pleased would be an understatement. “That’s not how it works, Xyni. As an alpha, you need to follow and respect traditions. So other members can follow in your footsteps too,” Mom Nashia chided him lightly and lines on his forehead deepened, a film of sadness coated his eyes as his grip tightened around my waist. I guess the deep-seated feeling of me getting separated from him over and over again affected him more than he let on. “Luna Karica will not be harmed. We will keep her safe, Xynathius. I understand after what has transpired you are apprehensive of letting her out of your sight. But trust us. Trust your king,” King Thadieus spoke from near the fireplace where he was perched on comfy cushions with his Queen. I placed my hand on his in a consoling assurance. His muscles were getting too
