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
Demi’s pov He had snatched my date's plate and cut up the steak for me carefully and he was so intentional about the action like he wanted to impress or win me He devised a way for me to have the cut of meat without having to worry about ease due to the nature of my limbs. A small simper grew on my lips and I looked towards Dmitri, the smile vanishing immediately seeing that the frown on his face had deepened and then I realized how inappropriate Eros had acted. First of all, he shouldn't be here and now he was acting like he cared trying get me to eat meat while sabotaging a date with someone who doesn't care about my appearance or my odor while my mate on the other hand completely disregarded me, made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with me and I could be with anyone of my choice. Dmitri even got me flowers while Eros filled my heart with hurt. "Thank you your majesty but I am content with what my date has offered me." I used my good hand to stretch the plate back to D
Demi's pov What do you even see in her? Those words were imprinted on my mind, echoing in my head and I could feel the irritation in his voice scraping at my hearing with each step I took toward the outhouse. I had a lot of questions running through my mind questioning my birth, my existence and the unfortunate circumstances surrounding my life. Fate was cruel to me in all ways, throwing my life around like a dice on a jagged end with each tumble revealing a deep slash. I was the weak wolf, the rejected one, the ugly one, the wolf who never shifted. The one who never had friends to play with, who got betrayed and was never good enough to invite anywhere. I was the stinky wolf, the amputee, and yet again rejected after finding out that I was mates with the Alpha king, and now that someone dared show compassion my way, he ruined it all. I had overcome my fears of men a bit fearing what Logan did to me might happen again, I forced myself to quell my thoughts and went on a date o
Demi’s pov "What are you doing here?!" There was urgency in my voice as I looked around with panic growing in my chest, "Gosh!" Eros stood before me, hands crossed on his chest assuming a predatory stance that I had seen before from Logan which made me want to cower but I stood still holding his mean gaze, expecting an answer to my question. "Your date went well I suppose?" There was a devious smirk on his lips, and the mean glint in his eyes increased seeing the frown on my face. I frowned deeper, clutching my fingers so hard that I was sure my knuckles whitened with the force. A force I wanted to exert by punching his perfect face and wiping off that arrogant expression. "You reek of him, disgusting!" His nostrils flared picking up on the fact that I still somewhat smelled of Dmitri as I had spent time with him. "Leave." I pronounced before turning to walk past him but then I felt fingers on my arm, gripping my flesh and turning me back to face him and I so hated how the spark
Demi's pov A slight smile played on my lips as I watched Haris play from the comfort of my bed. I was happier just from looking at him. He looked healthier, brighter, and happier as well. He had food, clean clothes, and opportunities to play with the other kids from the pack but he chose to stay with me and I knew it was because he feared being bullied like in the other pack. And I understood very well. It was enough for me that he was in a safer environment and for a while, the symptoms of his rare illness hadn't surfaced again leaving my heart at peace on not having to worry about that part of him. Ever since the night Eros ruined my date and belittled me, I had come down with a slight fever, nightmares, and panic attacks were the order of my activities, and my hand stump ached more as well as my wounds because the emotional toil on me slowed down my healing process. And through all these, it was Bopha and Elara with me as well as Haris as always. Dmitri had been around pa
