Demi's pov Wife?! Harlyn was squealing on the inside while I stared into space chewing slowly on the piece of chocolate that the girl standing before me pushed in my mouth and the rest fussed over me, pushing different fabrics against my skin and throwing out orders. Wife! He called me his wife! I didn't know what that could mean but I knew it meant that I was now very important to him and I wondered if it was genuine or not. Ever since the fire incident, he had changed completely and now he referred to me as a wife in the human world making me feel more important and relaxed than I ought to be. The different stylists hovered around me, bringing out different clothes and dumping them on the chaise nearby, another one brought underwear that looked scandalous making me bright red on the face, and other outfits including comfy wear, dinner dresses, and everything a girl could need. "You are so lucky!"The girl before me smiled passing a chocolate piece into my mouth, "He has never
Bopha's pov I got off the phone with His Majesty and clasped my hand in excitement, my cheeks swelled from the smile stretching across my lips when I squealed, jumping up and down at the message he just dropped. I couldn't have been happier than I felt at the moment. I quickly texted the necessary people I had to get in contact with to make the plan he just laid out for me as it would be easier to execute with the help I would get. I was swarming with glee on the insides at how fortunate my best friend Demi was. I was glad that despite what she had faced on getting here even with keeping the pain underneath as I was sure that there was a lot that she didn't talk about from her past and present, by present I meant Anya. She was malicious and delusional enough to go out of her way to harm Demi but each time I asked her if she was putting her through hell, she was quick to push the matter aside and move our discussions to other things that were far away from w
Eros's pov The moment my Bambi stepped out of the store in all her delectable splendor to meet me in the waiting room, it was as if my world at been turned upside down and reochestrated with my very breath being knocked out of me a thousand times. She truly was a sight to behold. "You are gorgeous sis." Haris jumped down from where he was sat by my side, he didnt pronounce the world gorgeous well but the message was well passed across as I watched my Bambi bend over to receive his hugged, there was a growing smile to her face that intensified my heart beat. I couldn't say a word as I took in her appearance, my gaze appreciating all of her existence. I had always done my appreciation from afar but now I could do it with her near me and it was far more different. Even if I mourned the loss of my shirt on her, the gown ardoning her perfectly complemented her beautiful build and I resisted the urge to tell her to twirl for me. Her hair had the strands I had don
Demi's pov I didnt expect to be taken to the jewelry store neither did I expect in my life that I would ever have the privilege to try on the most expensive luxurious pieces of rare stones that were more luxurious than what Logan got for Nina and what Anya had always worn. I had to protest at some point, seeing the steep amounts on the price tags till Eros ordered them to bring in the pieces without the tags and distracted me with a kiss on my forehead to cease my complaining while the attendants matched the pieces on my necks and wrists trying to find which one best suited me. And while all these went on, Eros stole Haris away to the watch section for men claiming that he needed something to match his cuteness. Haris happily followed promising to show me what he got while I waited nervously with the attendants bringing in more pieces despite the pile of jewelry boxes already growing. I didnt think I deserved all these, the finery and luxury were something a person like me should
Demi's pov I wiped my hand over my face, my palm catching at a wet spot on my cheek making me realize that I had been crying. I hurriedly my palm over my cheeks again to do away with any trace of me crying as I didn't want Eros to get worried and drill me with questions. You should get going, Harlyn advised, they'd be looking for you all over the place now... And she was right because the moment I stepped out and ventured into the space retracing my steps, my eyes caught a distressed Eros with Haris by his side frantically conversing with the shop attendant and I could see a security guard next to them. I hurried my steps wanting to reach them quickly to avoid a dramatic scene and at that moment, Eros looked towards my direction and I gave a small smile enjoying How relief took over his features, his tenseness vanishing and being replaced with tenderness as he immediately began to saunter towards me dragging Haris along. "Are you alright?" He placed his free hand on my shoulder
Demi's pov I murmured slightly at the light tap on my shoulders and went I felt the sparks, I opened my eyes slowly to see Eros near me trying to get me to wake. "Are we there yet?" I moved my hand rubbing my eyes with my fingers in circular motions to clear my drowsiness. "Yes, Bambi." He smiled, "Do you want to stay in the car for a while and rest?" I nodded immediately, glad that he asked and he stepped down after a quick "I will be back." while he was away I slept some more trying to regain my strength as I was exhausted. ____ By the time Eros was back, I was well rested and Haris was awake as well. He got the door for us, Haris jumped down excitedly and Eros put out his hand, I placed mine in his and he let me down from the car slowly. "Where is this place?" I asked looking around and marveling at the huge building before me. "Take a guess." I looked at the building to see beautiful carved-out letters attached to the top that read out the word
Demi's pov I eyed Eros shyly as he worked on his plate, my tongue tied, twisting in shame as I contemplated if to ask him for help or not knowing that we were in public and I didn't want to embarrass him. "Here you go, Bambi." He let out a sigh with a small smile gracing his lips and he picked up his dish switching it with mine, "Eat up." I looked down at the plate, a dainty grin forming on my face as I realized that all that cutting wasn't for his comfort but for mine, as he had cut the tender meat into tiny pieces as well as the broccolini. I swallowed lightly picking up my spoon, muttering a thank you before I began to eat slowly. "What's your favorite color?" He asked suddenly as we ate, "What do you like doing? Tell me about you." I dropped my spoon gently and cleared my throat not knowing what to tell him as I hated talking about myself and I didn't even know what my favorite colour was. The only thing I knew was that I loved Haris and I hated pain as I had been accustom
Anya's pov I wiped the sweat off my brow, dismissing the new warriors that had been training and my gaze trailed on them as they marched off the field in an orderly manner as I had instructed. I congratulated myself for a job well done. Eros would be so impressed when he sees their performances as well as the new strengths they had recognized within themselves that would prove to further strengthening the pack's army. Today had really been successful, I did well with the warriors as well as my plans in ruining the gifts that Eros had gotten for his bitch of a mate. I climbed up the steps gingerly, feeling as happy as I felt in the morning when I had received the news that all had gone well. The attendants accompanying the goods were injured and I made sure rumours were spread for people to talk about how this had never happened which would cast doubts and self blame in the heart of Demi when she hears. A maid had whispered about her crying which proved that my
Demi's pov In movies, there is a part where the character freezes while every other scene goes on behind while the character stares into space absorbing the shock of what had just happened. This was me at the moment. From the moment I found Haris like that, every other thing was like a blur. I could hardly make out my screams as I stared at his face noticing that his eyes had begun to roll back. There was more heaviness to him when I tried lifting him off the ground to the best of my abilities. I could hear my name, I didn't know if it was Bopha or Eros. I could hear the footsteps and Haris being pulled away from my arm with a voice barking out orders while I tried my best to follow them to see where my brother was being taken. And now, I stood aloof before the hospital door, paralyzed by shock, barely recognizing the presence of my mate behind me as the door was shut while Haris was still being wheeled into the emergency ward. "Bambi." Eros whispered crossing his arm over my
Leo's pov Our little Haris was awake but his recuperation was slow. That wasn't something that bothered me as all that mattered was that he was alive and well.He was responding well but slowly to treatment and he couldn't eat yet as his system had to be flushed first and then he was observed without food before being moved to liquids.The doctors had said the poison found in his system was very toxic and Haris was too weak to recount what it was he remembered.My dear friend and Luna, Demi was sad and crestfallen. She walked around like she had the world on her shoulders and I couldn't recall the last time I had noticed a smile on her face.I knew what was bothering her, Aside from the fact that her brother was sick, she was worried about her former mate showing up and I was worried as well.Demi had gone through a lot, her scars, the look haunting her eyes as well as all the stories she confided in me about were enough proof and I couldn't imagine her getting in th

Demi's pov Ever since I met Leo, I didn't completely feel out of place anymore. It was refreshing having a friend who is an omega just as I am. Our frequencies are the same and I relate more to him than any other person since coming here.Bopha and Eros are higher-ups, Eros even if he's mated to me, he's still a king and Bopha is a healer. Anytime I felt like opening up to them about myself, I'd feel bad and shut up.I knew that I would be judged especially if they knew what had been done to me and I would probably be thrown out.Harlyn had warned that our mate and friend would never think of us that way but I just couldn't help but think like that any time I felt the urge to tell them.But with Leo, it was different, I felt safe having someone just like me around and Eros didn't mind us hanging out so when Bopha was busy with her training and I was done with my sessions, I hung out with Leo in the garden and with Haris as well and Haris was very comfortable around him.I hung out w
Eros's pov"Good girl."Harlyn whimpered softly at the praise as Raphael nipped the side of her neck with his snout, licking at her fur to soothe her. She leaned in his touch making us both proud that our mate was relying on us and as she began to relax further, the aura she gave off seemed more peaceful than agitated as was the case when my Bambi first gave her control."Do you feel better?" He crossed over her running his tongue on her side, marking her with his scent as he still hadn't figured hers out but the ongoing treatment our mate had received for the past few weeks made things easier and my treatment was improving my state as well with smells, "Don't look away when I speak to you Harlyn." He nipped gently at her fur, "You are my equal, my queen." He ran his face up to her neck, pressing his against hers so their faces were close to each other, "You own me.""Thank you y-""It's Raphael." He corrected leaning away from her, "Ra-pha-el.""But-""No buts." He shook his head, "C
Demi's pov"Catch!"Metal flashed in light as the object being thrown at me went through the air, I projected my good hand to catch it while I tried to maintain balance due to my coursing adrenaline but instead, I fell to the ground softly with a thud, the object falling as well clanging against the floor, it was a dagger.""First lesson." The hand of my tutor was already outstretched to me, I placed mine on his and he held onto me, pulling me up, "Learn to catch.""How do I do that with one hand?" I sighed looking down at my arm sling, "It's impossible.""Bambi." He whispered, "Pick the dagger and throw it at me." He moved back, putting the distance between us."But E-""Throw it." He commanded.I picked it up, and obeyed by flinging it as far as I could before closing my eyes and waiting for a scream, "Open your eyes, Bambi." I did and looked in shock at the dagger in his hold, he had caught it mid-way by the blade with one hand."How did you do that?""Training, reflexes and I did
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
