Demi’s pov I had to tell Bopha Everything excluding my former life. I just gave her a brief breakdown of what had happened and also excluded Anya's abusive nature towards me because I didn't want any problems. "This is unlike him." Her brows were furrowed as she leaned against the headboard with her hands behind her head, "Are you sure you are mates?" "Positive." I nodded remembering the sparks I felt and everything that had happened before and after that, "Why do you ask?" "His Majesty has always been enthusiastic about getting a mate so him acting strangely towards you is weird." Because it's me, I am the issue here, I am not worthy of being by his side or being Luna. And ever since that night, Harlyn had gone quiet as well. Each of us took time to reflect on how miserable we were and how no one wanted us. "You know what." Bopha got up from the bed and walked to the dressing mirror, her hand going over the table to find her hair clip, "We are going for a walk." "I am goo
Demi's pov"Are you alright sweetheart?"The blue-eyed stranger spoke, his voice gave a homely feel as he purposefully drew me closer with his arms, his eyes searching my entire being for any signs of hurt, "You look shaken."I only stared at him still in shock from the hit.“Are you alright?” His voice had gotten graver as he gazed upon my bad arm and the wounds I had on my fingers.I silently expressed gratitude at the fact that the other parts of my body were covered by the long gown with full sleeves that I had put on making it impossible to see the rest of my wounds.I had no words, my gaze went awkwardly to where his hands gripped and a flicker of realization flashed in his eyes. His fingers gently loosened unhanding me and I stepped back a bit giving him distance."I am sorry, you could have fallen if I hadn't held onto you." His words offered apologies and I watched as he stretched out his hand catching me off guard, his finger carefully brushed against my cheek touching a w
Demi’s pov"You are scaring her you dolt!" Dmitri snarled at him as well before casting a reassuring gaze at me, "Don't worry about him, Demi.""I should take my leave." I bowed silently and was about to move when I felt fingers around my arm again. It was Dmitri's, he pulled me closer with a gentle move and I saw the frown on Eros's face deepen like he didn't want him touching me.I think mate is jealous, Harlyn had hope laced in her voice.No, he isn't, I argued with her, He is just being silly!"Let go of her, Dmitri." Eros snapped in his direction and he looked like he was about to close the space between him and Dmitri to punch him, “Now!”"Why? She's not your mate is she?"I looked at Eros as we all heard Dmitri's words and this time Eros looked at me, his eyes holding mine and a flicker of hope grazed my mind hoping that he'd claim me as it was only reasonable that he would seeing that he was expressing signs of jealousy."No."That word was like a knife being driven in my hear
Demi's pov As usual, Bopha helped me get dressed for the dinner date and while she did, I tried asking her if she knew who Dmitri was but she insisted that I had to be patient and wait to learn more about him at the date.This was the most impulsive thing I had ever done. Bumping into a man with a charming aura and immediately agreeing to go on a date with him without any knowledge of him.It made me realize that for all the things I had gone through, I never acquired a sense of safety and I was quite disappointed in myself.Bopha had styled my hair in a simple ponytail and had the braid wrapped in a donut neatly giving me a refined look. She wasn't sure if what hairstyle to do at first as she wasn't sure if it was a glamorous date so she decided to go with this stating that it would go with anything he had planned. After that, I put on a simple brown gown that covered my entire body apart from my hands and feet. Elara had carefully selected my gowns and other
Demi’s povI could hear Dmitri's greetings while he exchanged pleasantries with Bopha and Elara.I sat still twisting my fingers with a nervous feeling crawling in my belly at the prospects of how the date would go.Harlyn had been silent as well as she couldn't stomach going out with another man that wasn't Eros and even when I tried to make her see that he didn't want us, she was all up in her head and insisted that there was more to his unacceptance but I didn't believe that and I wasn't going to let a man tell me yet again that he had no interest in me for multiple times now."You can come out now," Bopha called at me from the sitting room and I got up with Haris holding onto my finger while I made my way there.I entered with my head bent, eyes trained on my feet as I walked staring at the straps of my sandals as I was too scared to look up."Well, aren't you gorgeous?" He was before me in an instant and Haris let go of my hand, he took that hand and brought it to his lips again,
Demi's povA high lord? Special forces? General controller?I didn't understand what these meant till Dmitri explained it all to me. He didn't belong to a pack, he was born as a special wolf, one of the strongest breeds, and naturally he succeeded his father. These wolves were the special forces contacted for emergency combat if there was a war or an attack and they also had special powers.He had explained earlier on that he was here on an assignment to supervise the pack warriors and meet with Eros on what to do about the security of the werewolf kingdom as we were recently posed with some threats.I had listened intently as he spoke while noticing that we were slowly headed towards the castle grounds but I didn't react or say a word.I just followed his lead as he continued to walk talking about his job and mostly about himself."Have you been in the castle before?" He asked, "If you haven't, would you like to come in so I can give you a tour?""Is that how dates work? A tour bef
Demi’s povThe room was dimly lit but I could see chairs had been pushed to the side to create the space in the center.There was a wide candle-lit table In the middle with two chairs facing each other, a vase of pretty flowers, and empty plates on the sides with other covered ones on the expanse of the table."Do you like it?" I heard him as I stared at the table wondering what I did to deserve such nice treatment."Yes." I nodded immediately pinching myself slightly to see if it wasn't a dream, “I do!”"And how about this?" A bunch of roses came into view and he brandished them playfully before me, "Where I come from, women receive flowers as pretty as them.""Thank you, Dmitri." I collected the roses with my good hand, "No one has ever gotten me flowers.""That will change now." His smile grew seeing how Elated I was, “I would spoil you with flowers if it will keep your gorgeous face lit up.”I brought them to my nose, inhaling the scent. They were fresh and dewy teasing my senses
Demi's pov I had just learned something remarkable about my mate. The first thing I learned about him was that he sneezed a lot when around me and the second was that he was a big liar. He had asked us to go on assuring that he was here just to check up on his guest and we wouldn't even be able to tell if he was present but that was a lie. His huge intimidating frame was one thing, his scent messing with my senses was another. He sneezed each time he leaned increasing our nearness just to glare at me and he also made small talk with Dmitri whenever he noticed that Dmitri was trying to talk to me. His presence was made known by all means necessary and I had never been so much irked by a man in my life. He didn't want me yet he was here ruining my date and he dared accuse me of infidelity leaving Dmitri confused with his brows furrowed. I guess he decided not to take Eros's words to heart as he would have asked questions like any other reasonable man on what Eros was talking abo
