Anya's pov I burned down her house only for Eros to move her in. I ruined the surprise for her only for him to take her on a date to the human world and now news about them was everywhere like she was his beloved. I couldn't even think of any more plans than killing her but if I did, I would be found out and Eros would kill me. I was planning on winning him over as well as his family so they would all be in support of him making me Luna and so I had to thread with caution as I had been doing always. My phone rang across the room and immediately went to get it as it was the special ringtone I had set specifically for when Eros calls me that rang out. "Hello E." I picked up immediately. "Anya." He responded, "You must have seen the tabloids, contact our public relations team, reputation management team as well our legal team. I want those posts taken down and wiped off immediately! In as much as it gladdens me to show off my Bambi, I would love to protect her for now as she isn't
Demi's pov I found myself in the field again, this time my white gown was a full-length with a sash tied around my waist and its sleeves having pretty bows at the end. A crown of flowers was placed on my head by beautiful birds waving their feathers gracefully. The wind blew gently and I wished to see my reflection. At that wish, my feet directed me to where I could hear running water and I followed the direction humming to myself and swinging my hands. I was happy. I had my full arms back and I swung them aggressively trying to get the feel of them again because I had a terrible dream where my hand was cut off. I reached the stream, its water sparkling bright against the rays of the glorious sun and I bent a bit at the bank, crouching over the grass and planting my hands on the ground. I peered into the stream to see my reflection and I was wowed by what I saw. Unlike in my dream, I had perfect unscarred, and unblemished skin. My fa
Demi's pov A familiar scent awakened my senses, a scent that had had me enthralled from the moment I first perceived it. A scent that has been so engraved in my world these past few days and now it was so near me like the person that bore that scent was directly laying by my side. I tried to move my hand but I couldn't as it was held down by another and I opened my eyes, a soft gasp leaving my lips as I beheld the sight before me. My face was almost buried directly in Eros's chest, which heaved slightly in a up and down motion as his soft snores filtered through my hearing. His arm was wrapped around me, drawing me close while his bicep cradled my head gently and I looked down to see that his other hand was what held mine down. His beautiful big manly hand closed over my frail scarred one, his fingers, lean and clean were interlocked with my ugly ones and I wanted to pull away immediately as the sight called to me telling me that my hand didn't belong with
Demi's pov We could only proceed for our activities of the day when Eros finally let go of me but not before making me promise that I will let him hold me later. We had breakfast after I cleaned up and helped Haris freshen up as well while my mate proceeded to prepare for his day. When he was ready he came to my room to pick Haris and I up and we both followed him to where he was headed. Even without him mentioning it, I knew he wanted to take me to where his attention was needed at the warrior academy and I knew most of the pack members would be there. My anxiety levels were skyrocketing when we had neared the place and all eyes were on us. I had walked quietly behind Eros with Haris by my side. No one dared say anything but I could see their malicious stares as their gaze traveled to me after greeting Eros. Some of them had their noses wrinkled and when our gazes met they immediately turned not hiding their looks of disgust. I didn't let it bother me a
Demi's pov Dmitri was standing there and as I tried to move away from Eros, my eyes followed the movement of the flower bouquet that fell from Dmitri's hand. Those fingers which previously held the flowers were tightened forming a fist and his gaze sharpened, flicking from Eros to me and back to Eros again. I could see his sharp intake of breath, the muscles on his face tensioning as he deliberated on what to do. "Please let go Eros." I breathed calmly trying to free myself as shame took over my emotions, "Please." "I think you heard her right." His voice had a sharp edge to it, "Let my girlfriend go." "I do not appreciate you addressing my mate as your girlfriend." Eros's arms loosened from around me and he stood aright, "Welcome back Dmitri." "What a pleasing sight to see...a welcome gift perhaps?" His gaze was directed at me now and I looked away not being able to stand the hurt in his eyes, "Care to tell me what's happening?" He moved closer to us, eyes
Demi's pov All efforts to convince Dmitri proved otherwise as he constantly made it known to me that he would gladly choose his mate over and over again when he hadn't even known me for up to three months and so I left him unable to convince him and also agreeing to be his date to the next ball which was coming up in a few days. He had promised to come see me later on after expressing displeasure over the fact that I shared a room next to Eros and I only agreed to see him later because my head was splitting due to the constant bickering and overthinking. You aren't thinking of picking Dmitri, are you? Harlyn asked as I took a short walk into the forest, We are fated to Eros and he's trying to get us back Demi. Going on with Dmitri would be disastrous in the long run... Tell me about it, I snorted, I never knew he was this stubborn. He didn't even budge when I tried talking about his mate... How do we get out of this situation? Harlyn asked, and why wouldn’t h
Demi's pov By the time I got to my room, I was out of breath, I opened the door gently and went in expecting to lay on the bed but the moment I turned, I yelped in surprise seeing a not-so-very happy Eros on the bed. He was sat at the edge, one leg crossed over the other with his chin resting on his hand. His brows were drawn together with a facial expression that exuded brooding and his jaw was clenched tight. I wanted to exit the room as I didn't want to do this, I wasn't ready for whatever conversation it was that we were about to have and I didnt want to argue. My head was pounding, almost splitting into two from trying to process the events of the past hour and I didnt want to add another. "What are you doing?" I asked leaning against the door. "He hasn't even been back from up to twenty-four hours and you have already switched sides?!" He dropped his leg and freed his chin directing his gaze at me. "I want to be alone, Your Majesty." My tone was clipped, “Please.” "I
Eros's pov My fingers tightened around the champagne flute instead of where I wanted them which was Dmitri's neck. I knew I would enjoy snuffing the very life out of him before cremating his body for daring to place a hand on my mate's shoulder. He looked like the happiest man in the world with a wide smile on his face as he chatted with her by his side, introducing her to who cared to look his way as his girlfriend. I hated him so much that I wanted to ruin his face with my fist before making my wolf take out his own wolf as my wolf felt every bit worse than I did. My Bambi on the other hand was easily the most stunning woman in the room. From the moment she walked in, in one of the dinner gowns I had gotten for her when we went shopping, I haven't been able to take my eyes off her. My staring at her was often interrupted by a small talk from others and Dmitri standing before her but she was too glorious to have my attention taken away from her even with the
