Kylie POV:

He was right, they did give me something, that booster. Don’t think for a second that they asked for my opinion, they just poured the damn drink down my throat.

And after that, they took my competitor away, leaving me scared to the point I thought I’d go crazy.

Some women came in and dressed me in a tank top and shorts, the fabric looking like an armor of golden color, with a matching pair of boots and a helmet. If not for the life and death situation, I would have thought I look kind of cool, the golden outfit looking lovely against my tanned skin.

At least you’d die pretty, Kylie!

I wasn’t even able to catch my breath before they threw me on the stage, in the middle of the arena.

My heart is racing in my chest, I feel like I’m on the brink of having a heart attack as I scan my surroundings. Such a great crowd came to witness my miserable death.

But nothing prepared me for the stabbing pain of betrayal that

    Kylie POV: I’ve mentally prepared for the pain I was suppose to feel, and I relaxed myself in his embrace. Whenever I am in his arms, I feel that I can concur the world, this is the kind of power he has over me, over my body. My eyes closed, my heart pounding erratically in anticipation for whatever was supposed to happen. I trusted him, I will always trust him. He gripped my shoulders and held me in place, leaned his mouth over my neck, then something sharp dug deep into my skin. I suppressed the groan that was forming in my throat, I didn’t want him to feel guilty for hurting me. It was nothing I imagined, the pain lasted for a few seconds, and after those seconds passed, my body was overwhelmed with incredible pleasure, I almost could not handle it. Whatever he did, it delivered me straight to the kingdom of heaven, it’s safe to say that I’ve never felt this way before, it’s probably a one in a lifetime sensation. It was addi

    Oliver POV:I could feel the anger radiating out of my mother and Killian from a long distance, they were the first to leave the arena. Everyone else expressed avid interest in the show we put in stage, by marking a human girl I gained their undivided attention, which I’m sure it’s not a good sign.As for me, marking my mate and remembering everything about her, about us, brought life back into my body, I feel complete and my wolf is purring again like a fucking cat, I missed this sensation.“Oliver, do you know anything about Mark?” Kylie asks me, her voice filled with concern.I admit that I forgot about my idiot brother. He was supposed to protect Kylie, but so did I for what it counts, and I failed miserably, anyway, where did he end up?“Last time I’ve seen him, he was in the dungeons with me.” She declares as though she could read my thoughts.Wait! Dungeons?My mother dared to throw my

    Oliver POV: Fucking Hell! I should have been the one to brief Kylie about the rituals of the Mating Ceremony, I should have told her what marking her means, she is unaware of our traditions. Maybe she wants nothing of this, she should have known what she’s getting into, how her life would change, this way she would have been capable to make a decision on her own. Too late now, what was done can’t be undone. I wonder what my mother is scheming, I don’t believe for a second that she changed her mind just like that. She is the type to hold grudges and get revenge, she was not like this before, but she definitively is now. Anyway, Kylie needs to go through with the Mating Ceremony and complete the rituals to be able to be my Luna, if that’s what she desires, it goes without saying that I’m not going to force it on her. “I’ll let the two of you discuss it, let me know what you decide. Either way, the Ceremony has to be held the day

He first wanted to take me to a lake house he clearly loves, but we don’t have that much time and my mind is too troubled to fully enjoy it so we settled for a day in the nature. We are just about to get in the jeep when I see red before my eyes, Kendra is making her way in our direction. Everything about her makes my blood boil with anger, she witnessed her father holding me hostage and she allowed it, just like that. It goes without saying that she never gave up on Oliver, but part of me believed she was just a spoiled brat, not a bitch capable of hurting me, or even killing me. Like father, like daughter. Good thing Oliver does

    Kylie: I silently curse, it’s already morning and I could not sleep a wink, I’m sure I have dark circles around my eyes, just when I’m about to be formally introduced as Oliver’s mate. Good job, Kylie, you’ll not only be weak, you’ll be ugly too! Now that I think about it, every woman I have seen at the Klain Gala or in the crowd at the Arena was drop dead gorgeous to say the least, I look really plain in comparison. A cold shiver runs down my spine, is it too late to back off? Not that I would ever do that, but is it possible to do it? “Good morning, my love!” Oliver’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts, his godlike silver eyes are sparkling with lust, he stares at me as if I were the most beautiful creature walking on this Earth. And you know what? This is all I need, this ravishing man here making me feel like I’m the only one in the world that would ever catch his eyes, of his heart. Yes, I was overthinking like a silly gir

There is so much love and lust in his eyes, his strong emotions almost blow me off my feet. My breath hitches as he grips my waist roughly and pulls me into a kiss. The moment our lips touch feels like I’ve reached paradise, sweet electrifying sparkles are shooting through my body, I have to remind myself that we are surrounded by a big crowd. Mark clears out his voice, and yes, we needed the hint. “I can’t wait for us to be alone.” Oliver whispers in my ear, blowing flames through my skin, I feel a blush creeping my cheeks. We walk towards a lake, my heart ready to explode from all the overwhelming sensations coursing through my veins, I am nervous to say the least. Nobody ex

I felt my own transformation start, my body shifting and contorting as I prepared to defend myself and the woman who I thought was my fated mate.But then she spoke, and I realized that something was off. As strange as it seemed, this woman looked like Kylie, but she wasn’t Kylie. I could tell by the way she moved, by the way she smelled. She didn’t have my mate’s heavenly scent.Just as the werewolf was about to lunge, she called out a name. The werewolf stopped mid-air, its body contorting and shifting until it was no longer a beast, but a man. He looked at her with wonder and awe, and I could feel the tension dissipate from the air.As they locked eyes, I could feel the connection between them. It was like a bond that could not be broken, a bond forged by fate. I could see the lo

    Alpha Killian POV:“What did you do, Sandra? Why did you leave my daughter to the demon wolves? Are you out of your fucking mind?” I snap at the damn witch, squeezing her shoulders in a way that I’m aware it will leave a bruise. If something were to happen to my precious daughter, I would kill her mercilessly. Everything I did was for Kendra, and I would never endanger her like this witch did.NEVER.To be honest, what she said earlier hurt me. She even declared that she wished for me to be dead instead of her weakling mother. I only tried to protect her legacy, enhance her power and authority. I know it’s not her fault, I don’t blame her. Clearly, that mate of hers brainwashed her. Why did the Moon Goddess mocked me by pairing my daughter with that good for nothing omega?I hope he gets killed by the demon wolves. This way I would get rid of him once and for all, and with him out of the picture, Kendra will be forced to follow my guidance. An odd feeling of panic surges through my

I should have shared with her all the information that I have gathered.I sigh deeply trying to calm my raging nerves, at least I had the chance to hold her in my arms again, to know that she is safe, but now… Now I’m left with gut-wrenching pain in the pit of my stomach and a desire to kill everyone that stands in my way.“Oliver!” Kendra casts me a reprimanding glare. “We need to leave. Now!”“No! I know that he’s your father, but if he had anything to do with Kylie disappearance, I’m going to fucking rip him into pieces, Kendra!”“You will do no such thing, Oliver!

    Kylie POV: I blink nervously as I stare at her in utter disbelief. I might have avoided studying her intensely until now, as her mood swings frightened me, yet I can still register the changes in her appearance. A knot forms in my stomach, her long black hair that she used to wear in curls is not dark nor wavy anymore, but covered in ash shade highlights. Her eyes the color of the sky turned almost silver. Cold, metallic, focused. And there is something more. My heart drops from my chest when recognition dawns on me, she resembles someone. She resembles me. As if we were family. Sisters. Well that would be highly unlikely, as she was trapped here for one thousand years. But maybe we do have some sort of connection? Oliver said he has some information to share with me, yet our connection broke suddenly. “The way you used to look has changed.” I did my best to talk normally, with only a hint of curiosity i

    Kylie POV: My heart stops in my chest, am I imagining things? Is this real? I blink nervously trying to breathe less and avoid making a sound, I have to know if I’ve heard right or if my brain decided to play cruel tricks on me. “Kylie, baby, can you hear me?” Oliver’s husky voice is penetrating my mind, calling out to my soul and driving my heart to jump from my chest out of enthusiasm. A tingling sensation is quick to spread through my body. My soul is like an ocean, tumultuous and raging with the need to feel him near me, touch his skin. It’s not even sexually my need, more like an affectionate kind of way. “Baby!?” His voice once again is destroying my composure, it holds strong emotions, love, longing and despair and it hits me in the depth of my soul. I might be going crazy, but even so, I want to believe that this is happening, that I didn’t obsess to the point that I started hearing things.

To trick me?” My blood is reaching boiling point, I have to fight the urge to beat him to death.Slow and cruel, painful death. I would have killed the motherfucker the moment I registered his presence, if not for the fact that I might get information out of him. I don’t care what methods I'll be forced to use, I’ll break him. In fact, the more violent, the better. I am dying to burn up some steam, my wolf agrees with me completely.“She is such a gentle soul, she trusted you blindly! I trusted you and you betrayed me!” I punch him in the liver, and it takes all the willpower in the world to stop at just that.No, never mind, I throw another punch to his face, and next thing I hear is his nose cracking. He had it coming and better be grateful that I have some self control left.“Oliver!” Ken

    Motherfucker!Even more mystery.“What’s wrong?” Kendra asks, dissecting me as if she’s trying to penetrate my mind and suck the information out.“This fucking design, it was on Kylie’s pendant. The one that Jasper gave her, the one with the compass inside, the same compass that guided her to the land of the damned.”She studies the design with interest, recognition dawning on her, or so it seems.“Ohh! Now that I delve into it, I’ve seen it before, a long time ago.”“Where?” I grab her shoulders and squeeze them roughly, until I notice Blake fuming as ready to engage. I let go of her. “Sorry!” I mutter.

In fact, I’m sure they have some connection with everything that’s happening.Then there is Blake. I can tell that he is more than what meets the eye, but I have no idea how to reach him.
