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
Demi's pov When Dmitri had come earlier proposing a picnic, I hadn't known he wanted it that very day and I didn't have it in me to decline because I knew it was necessary for me to step out of the house. I was feeling nauseous from my fever and wondering about Eros and his wolf seeing me not being able to take my mind off what the outcome would be. Knowing that Eros was a powerful man I could tell that he could be brutal if he wanted to be but I had never experienced his brutality nor did I know how violent he could get unnecessarily. I feared what he would do and Bopha had told me earlier that ever since our date night, he wasn't seen only if necessary and she also stated that Anya had been looking for him. I couldn't care less where he went or if he went missing. I didn't care how he felt about me being close to Dmitri and I didn't think I should fear what he would do, the worst he could do was throw me out or kill me. That sounds terrifying. But I didn't think I should
Demi's pov I couldn't remember falling asleep in Eros's arms, I had awoken to see his arms woven around me, his magnificent scent enveloping me and his eyelids shut signifying that he too was deep asleep. Soft snores were coming from him and I stayed still for a moment admiring his lovely, beautiful features wondering how on earth I was lucky to be mated to him. I watched him for a while, smiling at his sleeping form before slowly easing myself from his hold so I could slide away from his side and get down from the bed. I could feel my eyes swollen from all the crying, there was a light ache in the right part of my head and my throat was dry. I walked to Haris's room to check up on him. My brother was fast asleep and I patted his head for a while before going out and moving towards the sitting room. Ever since the bomb had been dropped on me, I hadn't had time to think clearly neither had Harlyn and I had enough time to think now but one thing I was certain of was that there
Demi's pov I must have passed out. One moment my breathing level was elevating more than normal, my chest felt constricted and I was pulled into darkness and the next, my eyes had snapped open catching the view of a worried Eros and Elara above me. They muttered words at me but I didn't hear as my mind went back to the news of me being a cursed red wolf. Harlyn should have been orange, pink, black even, anything but a cursed red wolf and now I believed I was on the verge of entering a worse version of my life than I had ever encountered. I had been hated for being a weak omega and now I was a strong red wolf, a mass weapon of destruction. "You should sit up." Eros moved behind me and his hands came to my back, "Easy." He whispered when he began to help me lift, "Elara, water please." She was gone as soon as he ordered and came back with a glass of clear liquid, my throat itched in anticipation at the sight, and I opened my mouth eagerly when Eros got the glass and brought it to
Demi's pov One moment I was sitting on the bed thinking about how to open up to Eros about my past, the next I was in wolf form with balls of fire coming from Harlyn's paws setting the mattress and its covers ablaze. My wolf's screams came out in low whines while she struggled with so much difficulty to move from the spot, she had laid there limp with glossy eyes as the fire increased. Eros had come in the nick of time, leaping through the fire and grabbing Harlyn, taking her to the ground, grabbing a fire extinguisher, and calming the flames on the mattress soon he was done but the damage was much and by the time he turned around, Harlyn had disappeared shifting me back to my human form leaving me in sweaty nakedness and with hot palms. While I tried to shield myself from my mate's gaze, he grabbed a blanket, throwing it around me and I nestled in his arms as he picked me up and made my way for the bathroom, he unrolled me from the blanket and dumped me into the full bath with wa
Eros's pov I had made a silent vow to myself after my Bambi asked about my condition and the vow was never to keep things from her again. It wasn't even up to four hours of making that vow and I was on the verge of breaking it. Trouble was lurking in our horizons and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. That trouble would be her. While she bonded with Haris, I bade them goodbye and slid out of the room, my foot steps directing me towards an enclosed part of the garden where Elara awaited me. I didn't ever think this was possible, there would be an uproar from the wolves council, the packs, and the entire werewolf kingdom. My influence and neither would that of my parents or sister would be enough to save her unless I pushed to defy all odds. Why did she have to be a red wolf? Not that I hated it, it wasn't just the right moment to be a red wolf and certainly not for her. I ran my fingers through my hair, squeezing my hand and feeling my sweaty palms that hinted at anxiety, I
Demi's povEros didn't look pleased.He said not a word to me when he cloaked me in a blanket and picked me up, a grunt came from him when he mounted his horse and I mentioned not knowing he had horses.There wasn't a word from him when I told him he smelt nice, he only spoke to Elara while she checked up on me to make sure I had no internal injuries from the forced shifting and then he Instructed the doctor that he needed full medical conduct to be done on me with the results submitted to him like the last time.When I mentioned about not knowing that he had my medical results, he didn't even look in my direction and I began to feel bad, the hurt growing deep within me.Even when he picked me up to take me to the room, his room, he said nothing and I watched without word as he entered the room and he walked to the bed dropping me silently on it.My eyes followed him as he took steps to the windows and quietly drew the curtains apart, he opened the windows and turned, walking towards
Anya's pov I wasn't surprised when Eros slammed the door in my face before I even got my words out but that didn't deter me as I stood by the door, curving my knuckles and rapting softly against the wood. "Your majesty." I tried to soften and sweeten my voice, increasing the knocks, "I just want to see how you are doing." He didn't reply and after standing there for a while, I decided to leave. I knew it would take some time for him to soften up to me, I just needed to be sweeter with him, dot on him, and show him that I am what he truly wants. Besides, when he gets the news of his mate's disappearance and death, he will surely need a shoulder to cry on and I, Anya, would be here to console him while warming my way into his heart. I would mend his broken heart and soothe his soul, he wouldn't even remember that Freak, and I would be sure to tell him that if she cared about him, she would've stayed instead of running off for no reason. And he surely wouldn't know that she ran
Demi's pov The first time I ever ran away was out of "seeking safety " for I hoped for a better place for my brother and me. The second time I ran was out of uncertainty cause my new second chance mate looked like he had the prospects of being just like the first but the runaway wasn't successful at all. And the third time, the third time is now and why am I running this time? I am running out of fear, fear of the fact that I would ruin the lives of the people I care about the most. Firstly, Haris has never been in good condition due to my inability to provide any, I couldn't do anything about his illness or his well-being. Secondly, my mate, my darling king, the one whose gaze makes me shy away in delight and I am happy to be near which I can't do for my presence worsens his condition and ability to rule, indirectly making me a threat to the kingdom. It was like being allergic to nuts and always being around nuts and eating them , you would die. This time, Eros was allergic a
Eros's pov I had a dream. It was more like a lovely dream that evolved into a nightmare and I couldn't be more glad that I had woken up from sleep, tearing myself from the illusion of that dream. I had never been one to attach meaning to dreams but this nightmare was exceptional. Demi and I were in it, together on a field enjoying the bright skies and soothing spring breeze but that was all shattered when the earth beneath us began to crack, all attempts to stick together were to no avail as the ground separated pulling us to opposite sides with a huge ditch between us and then before my very eyes, a huge mammoth bird descended, gripping her with its claws and flying away with it leaving me no room to save my mate. I woke up with a banging headache, my head felt like it was being split into two and my eyes ached with moisture clouding them. I could feel my nasals getting congested again and my whole being getting weaker. It was only one reason, in as much as the mate bond with
Anya's pov Victory! Finally! Victory! I placed my head against the headboard, my finger in my mouth, teeth biting delicately at my neatly manicured nail as I cackled in my head at the look on Demi's face when I finally broke her beyond repair by telling her that she was her mate's weakness. Of course, the goody too shoes were shattered and she looked like she had given up, it would only be a matter of time before she caved in and ran off, a time I hoped would be tonight as I had cleared the coasts, giving the guards breaks on specific hours so if she did decide to run off, she would do it with ease. "We should do this some other time." The words came from the man lying half-naked by my side, "You know how good you are w-" "Oh shut up." I rolled my eyes at the mere pack guard, "You are just a cheap man slut, get the hell out of my room before I pop your head off for insinuating that you want to lay again with your future Luna!" The scared man jumped off the bed at my response, an
