I touched the mark that Emanuel so insensitively put on my body. A forever type of mark, tying me to him for all eternity.I was his now.An Alpha could, and often chose, to have multiple chosen mates- some even took mistresses on the side but they weren't marked and would never step out from the sh
It could be worse, I said to myself while we walked through the woods- I cast a glimpse to the doors where I saw Dom walking in with a girl on his arm, it could have be much much worse.Emanuel gently lowered me down on my feet. He checked me up and down and grinned. “Can you walk?” I nodded and
What change of plans could have Lady Hale smiling like that? There had never been a change of plan, not for the hundred plus years that the Hunt had existed.That smile was throwing me of but the fact that she kept watching me gave me the creeps.“What change?” Emanuel asked and stepped back to me.
The blood was dripping down Emanuels chest and his wolf was trying to break him free, his yellow eyes were filled with panic and pain and Darian seemed…cold.He was killing him, in front of everyone, in front of the other Alpha’s and Lady Hale. Nobody was doing anything because he was the King and o
I was screaming, I knew that I was because my mouth was wide open and my eyes squeezed shut as the pain escaped in waves of sound but I couldn't hear anything. My lips were puling back and my jaw tense but all of the sounds that I knew that I was making were muted. A black fog was cluttering my vis
Darian let me go, I grabbed the side of the couch to steady myself after he ripped his hand from my face and I heard a gasp- followed by a loud thud and something wet splattering on my face. “My King, that is enough, please.” Lady Hale snapped with a nervous twinge in her voice.I heard something h
All of us stood around each other, the fire sparked with big flames and with winds picked up behind us, blowing into the room from the glass doors that remained open. It bothered me to see the doors open like that, it was like they were goating us- leaving the doors open as if to say ’you’re free t
His shoulders went rigid and everyone drew a breath and held it captive in their lungs.He slowly turned around and I was begging that he didn't see the fear in my eyes. His eyes were black as they locked on mine in a threatening glare. “You growl at my men?” He asked ruggedly.I tried to straight
The young man lifted his finger to his lips and didn't make a sound. Did I just say, 'young man'? How old was I getting in this place? I'm not even nineteen and I’m calling someone else a young man, the shiver that shook my bones was valid.“Could you focus,” Trixy snarled.“I called him a young man
The days passed smoother than I ever remember them doing. There was no nausea or whiplash from sudden events that kicked me to the ground and Darian had been surprisingly well behaved. Gabe took Mathilda into town and showed her around, they went to the Royal Training Facilities where she got to see
Nora took me to a corner of the hallway where a lamp shone, the only lamp above a portrait as far as I could tell. A regal woman sat on top of a throne, it was a humongous throne, the back reached up a good meter above her head, yet she sat there as though she and it were the same size with her arms
We took Mathilda through every level of the castle starting from the bottom and working our way through every single room, many of which I hadn't been in myself so that was fun.The gym, locker rooms, and Royal Guard sleep halls were especially unsettling but we closed those doors fast enough. At fi
HAZEL’S POVNora and I were watching each other, I pressed my lips tighter and felt them shake when I blew out a breath making a rumbling noise on the way.Neither of us said anything and I don't know why she was suddenly quiet but I had my reasons. Having to picture her naked with my mate being one
DARIAN’S POV“You need to calm the fuck down or you’ll scare her again,” Onyx growled. Like I hadn't thought about that myself.Hazel was sticking her chin out, her brows were pointing down when her frown deepened and I knew that laughing wouldn't make the situation any better but she was too fuckin
“How old is she?” I jumped around and saw Gabe barely an inch away, his shoulder brushed up against mine and he was looking at Mathilda and Elisa disappear around a corner.“Thirteen,” I said with a hand over my heart while I steadied my breathing.I remembered her thirteenth birthday, it was a few
To my never-ending surprise, Mrs. Smith walked in with a phone in her hand and a deep scowl on her pouty face. I bet I could fill the creases of her wrinkles with nickels and they would just stay there.“Your Majesty,” she said and handed over the phone before she walked with heavy steps, swaying he
We stood in the doorway for a good minute before either of us attempted to move. The silence even grew awkward, it hadn't done that before but I felt like I wanted someone to come and interrupt us because I had nothing to say to break the awkwardness.It couldn't be just words from him, I had to fee
