Dante and Venus looked to their right to see Knox and Sophia standing hand in hand, grinning at the both of them widely.

"Truce?" Sophia asked.

Dante looked down at his little mate, who was still safely secured in his arms, the gentle smile on her aglow face told him what to say next.

"I believe so," he said, a smile in his voice.

Sophia squealed in excitement and Knox smiled widely.

The next day everyone was getting ready, there was a pack dinner that night.

Everything was set in the vast green gardens, the decor was simple yet stunning. James as usual was doing the girl's makeup, while he himself looked stunning with his dramatic rainbow eye look. Wearing a black onesie with killer heels, James sure knew how to come dressed for the occasion.

Sophia was in a soft purple-colored dress that was fitted and reached her knees, and a gold belt around her waist. Paired with nude stilettos and soft makeup. Her hair in a bun.

While Venus also has light natural makeup, her hair tumbling loose

    *mature content* Dante zipped across the stairs and made his way up to his room with Venus tucked safely in his arms. She held onto his nape and shoulders wondering what her dark Lycan had on his mind.His breathing was heavy and deep, while Venus felt chills run up her body, the sizzling kind.With his mate in his arms, Dante walked into his room, placed Venus on his king-sized bed, and walked towards the door.Confused Venus watched him,Click,He locked the door.Venus watched the expanse of his shoulders as he rolled them. They flexed upon movement and he turned around, eyes set on his mate sitting in the middle of his bed with her dress bunched around her upper thighs.Keeping his hot gaze on hers, he started taking off his suit jacket. Taking his time. Casually throwing it on the sofa, then taking purposeful lazy strides towards the bed. All while taking off his cufflinks and rolling up his sleeves to his forearms.Revealing thick tattooed arms, Venus gulped."Sweetheart a

    "Girl so you finally got down and did the dirty," James squealed, hugging Venus tightly while behind them Sophia clapped her hands ecstatically."Guys quiet down, someone might hear," Venus whisper shouted, as she bent down to tie the laces of her white vans, she was wearing a plain white tee loosely tucked into her blue shorts.The morning that followed their passionate night, Venus awoke in Dantes's arms, he bid her good morning and decided to show her how 'good' of a morning it was before she had to shoo the insatiable lycan to leave as he had meetings to attend to.James snorted."Bitch I bet everyone knows, you reek of him," James said shrugging, now looking at his manicured nails."It's true, when the alpha and luna mate and mark the entire pack feels it because it's our completion," Sophia explained.Venus stood shell-shocked in front of her friends, horrified by the idea of everyone knowing about them when they mate."But we didn't mark or mate he just-he just...," venus trai

    A blurry grey.That's the first thing Venus saw, she then blinked her eyes, her sight more focused. A rusty grey roof, she blinked again.Her mind registering a dull throb at the back of her head, as she realized she was sprawled across the hard concrete floor, carefully she leaned up using the little strength she had.Suddenly a sharp pain in her head made her hiss in agony and she fell back onto the floor, clutching her head in her hands, her eyes clenched shut.After a while, the pain subsided, and Venus tried to sit up again more carefully this time, she looked at her hands to see them full of blood.Confused she touched her temple to see fresh red blood trickling down in droplets down her fingers.She was losing blood.She looked around, a dirty and small grey room. A door.She slowly used the wall next to her to stand up, and as she did the sound of chains caught her attention and she looked down to see both her feet in shackles."Damn it," she cussed out softly.And they seeme

    'Well of course you must know that there have been many before you and that just the fact that you're his mate makes no difference whatsoever, you mean nothing to him,' Roberto said, chuckling sadistically, while Venus sat on the concrete floor silent, as her mate's own father spoke to her filth about his own son and mocked their bond.She dug her nails into her palms to keep herself from lashing out at him, and because she was too weak due to the silver chains, it would be hard for her to fight.A few days had gone by and still no signs of Dante, slowly all of everything was making her hope chip away piece by piece.The constant stretch of days alone in an empty room, being force-fed stale bread and dirty water, her own thoughts and the words coming from her enemy's mouth.She didn't want to believe them but her sanity was dying with her better judgment.It felt like the end to her, and especially that she had started coughing out blood and would get beaten by her captor a few time

    "ARE YOU KIDDING ME ITS BEEN A FUCKING MONTH," a deep voice thundered, and seconds later the sound of a glass breaking reverberated across the silent room.The air tense and ragged breathing was heard, after a few moments footsteps leaving and the sound of a door being slammed shut.It was dark, she couldn't feel her body, she was trying to open her eyes but they refused to open, after a long hard struggle Venus opened her eyes to an empty hospital room, no one was there, they had left, and before she could make a sound she had already drifted back to her unconscious state.Heated with rage and restlessness Dante skimmed across the piles and piles of paperwork in his office.His dark locks were disheveled and a stubble growing on his strong jaw, his body tense and shoulders straight.It had been a month since Venus has got kidnapped, right after she got rushed to the hospital the pack doctor said it was too late and the wolfsbane had already spread across her body, she couldn't make i

    "Yes alpha she is now better, just make sure she had the medicines I've prescribed for her and that she eats healthy like protein, etc, and a word of caution too alpha, our luna is as good as a human without her wolf, she needs extra care," the pack doctor said to Dante."And what about her head injury," Dante asked, keeping his voice emotionless and face blank."it's hard to say at the moment, her memories might come back or they might not, but since a trigger is needed to make her remember try doing activities with her that you used to, it might work but there is no guarantee," he said cautiously.Dante growled lowly, he wanted Venus to get her memories back the sooner they could.And in the hospital room, James and Sophia were helping Venus get ready to leave for the house.They had introduced themselves as her friends and she felt comfortable around them."Hey, can I ask you guys something?" Venus said.James and Sophia looked over at each other and then nodded at her."I asked Da

    'So in a way, it's your first kiss,' James said, as he helped Venus fix her closet.While Sophia sat on the bed, leg over the other, her skirt riding up as she sat, revealing her slim model-like legs, and Venus stood in a towel with her hair dripping."In a way," Venus mumbled, recalling how gently but firmly Dante had kissed her, opening her mouth with his to slowly thrust his sinful tongue into her mouth and slide it against hers, then nibbling and sucking on her lower lip, it was as if a starved man was allowed food after a wait that lasted for eternity.The truth was, Venus was shying away from him."Bitch you better call me when shit like that goes down mhmm," James said sassily, cocking his hip out.Venus then changed into her a pair of grey sweats and a plain white fitted shirt, And since their mates were out for a pack meeting they decided to be productive and bake some brownies and cookies. As they blasted Post Malone in the kitchen and tried to get Venus to loosen up, they

    Venus woke up to the sun glinting through the windows, lazily she opened one eye while yawning and rubbing the other, stretching lightly, she felt like she had been ran over by a truck.Just then there was a knock on the door and the packhouse cook, Elsa, a wonderful lady in her 50s, peeked through the door and smiled warmly at Venus."Good morning darling, how are you feeling?" She asked, patting Venus's cheek in a motherly way."I'm good Elsa thank you," Venus said smiling."Well darling go freshen up and get ready, I've cooked breakfast for you, come down then before it gets cold," Elsa said."Wheres Dante?" Venus asked"Oh the alpha had some meetings to attend to, he told me to make you breakfast and make sure you have it to fix your disposition from last night," Elsa said, walking out of the room.Venus then freshened up and wore blue shorts and a soft colored yellow tee.She then had her breakfast and went to grab a book to read, as she sat in the living room with a warm mug of
