Chapter 16: Demands and Refusals
Aylin’s pov,
Rowan choked over his bite as soon as I mentioned my upcoming departure. Surprised, Waylen pushed a glass full of water to vigorously coughing Rowan. He looked up, grasping air to breathe while glaring at him. Waylen retreated the glass immediately and drank himself.
“But Lin, you just came. Why you need to leave this early? You haven’t even visited Avarland nor crescent pack.” Orson asked with his concern filled voice. He really looked worried, increasing the guilt inside me, watching his excitement to give a tour of these places.
“Maybe it’s early, but I still have to return, right? To my people. I can’t just let rogue take control over everything and beside if the news of King’s death has already spread across the kingdom, it will be very problematic to handle them and rest of the alphas.”
Chapter 17: Unleashing The Hidden TruthAylin’s pov,I was silent, processing his words. If Vampire King is coming here, then it will be easier to deal with the complications of the condition.“How many days does he need to get here?” I knew his kingdom was far, but I didn’t want to wait a second to meet him.“At least two weeks.” I narrowed my eyes on him. His forehead was creased with concern of the unknown.“I can’t wait that long.” Pushing him from me, I turned my back to him.“I haven’t said you are going to meet him.” He jerked me, trapping me in his arms as I took a s
Chapter 18: Indifferent Thoughts My head struck, as his words were ringing in my ears, daring me to question my beliefs. I was desperately searching for some lie in his eyes, but it was nowhere to see. He was watching me with an uncertain yet calm face as he was seeping me thoroughly in his heart. My hands were shaking uncontrollably, scaring me with my upcoming, sudden future. Gathering courage, I yanked my hand from his grasp, and he let me. Still staring at me as I was his last piece of sanity left behind. His eyes were speaking instead of his mouth. Everything was suffocating for me to understand. I ran from there, pushing the door wide open. My heart was aching to turn around to see him, and I did. He didn’t move at all nor tell anyone to capture me. But he was calm as he was concerned about me.
Chapter 19: Accepting Him As a mate. His emerald eyes weren’t leaving mine. Holding my silver knife covered with red silk cloth in his hand with prideful posture, but I could peep in his heart. He was insecure about it; he wasn’t sure what I would do with his proposal. I had already lost my mom and rogues have stolen my father’s life too, leaving me an orphan in this unseen world, not knowing which way I should choose to follow my destiny. But, I never thought that the moon goddess would guide me this way by surprising me by having a mate, which I only envied others for experiencing. “Do you think you can bribe me?” He tightened his hold over my hand in possessiveness. His flickering eyes were talking a lot on behalf of him, but his mouth was shut as they had betrayed him. He took a step towards me, but sto
Chapter 20: Confessing InsecuritiesI wasn’t expecting Rowan to give me a brief tour of this enchanting forest. It was wonderful to roam here and there with no aim and just being with him. It was feeling like a tiny sun had erupted in my soul, making me more alive than I was.Everything was refreshing; the flow of wind, the chattering of birds, and the breathtaking group of deer on luscious grass. He brought me to see a special deer which is only found in this region of the world. I never read about them in the palace’s library. They must be very well secured here, away from the rest of the world.Their shining skin felt like a gold in the light of the descending Sun. Their long and strong horns make them look divine. We stopped there for a while, even after they left the place.It was so relaxing to just lay under the tree basking in the warmth of his arms watching the sun hiding in Ava
Chapter 21: Struggle To KnowI was overflowing up to the sky as Rowan gave me a chance and asked if I wanted him as his mate. I wasn’t sure how many of the alpha give their mates this kind of respectful opportunity. Maybe he gave it to me because I don’t feel the bond between us and thought I could reject him. At least he considered my feelings and accepted me with my flaws.Not experiencing the bond creates a complex inside my mind, homing a vulnerability that he will leave me one day for not forging a bond of understanding. I don’t want to lose in his eyes as a mate. I want him to be proud of me. Only his enormous hand around me was keeping me sane in this world. He wasn’t speaking much, but his hands were continuously stroking my stomach delicately.Everything seems brighter than before in
Chapter 22: Unleashing The Unknown“Aylin, you are mine. I will tell you everything which you need to know, and you don’t need to know about this matter” His constant reversal was pushing me on the corner of a hill; it was suffocating for me in the open air. If he tells me I could have helped him with whatever problem he was in, then what’s the problem if he let me know about it? What is he hiding from me?“But, Rowan, I-”“Go, rest for a while before we will have dinner together.” He didn’t let me complete and ordered in the sweetest possible tone, caressing my cheek with one hand, which wasn’t pleasant for me to listen to at all. He ignored my words and kissed my forehead longer, as he didn’t want to leave me at all. Concern was pouring out of
Chapter 23: Aftermath of Guilt And Reasoning SoulsMy hands were trembling around his shoulders while he was carrying me inside the cabin. What was wrong with me? I closed my eyes and submerged myself in his chest, not wanting to face this world anymore. He walked into the bedroom and put me down on the bed, as I was going to break if he used a paltry force.“I am really sorry, Rowan. I never wanted to harm you.” He sat beside me, stroking my forehead gently as nothing happened. I was struggling to control my tears, but his touch was daring to break every obstacle in his way to my heart.“I know. Are you alright?” His question filled me with shame. I turned away from him. Tears were dripping all over my cheeks, drawing trains behind. He lay beside me, holding me in his arms.
Chapter 24: Inclining Heart Rowan was refusing to let me train or letting me know the reason behind it. He is so difficult to understand. It felt like he was more worried about something else than my training or fast growing powers. As accepted, he didn’t tell me what he had planned to tackle because of me. He promised and said he would look after me. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw his uneasiness about having me as a mate, but it wasn’t me. He was surprised, but didn’t hate me; I felt like he hates the word mate more than having one. Orson taught me some basics, as I was thinking it was magic, but it wasn’t. It was my aura which manipulated the surroundings, as I was an elementalist, the one who could control elements. I was awed by the fact of knowing far
Chapter 65: Until The End of EndlessThumpThumpThumpI nuzzled closer to the melody, which was caressing my heart. It was warm and was pulling me towards it. The subtle smell of flowers lingered with a known soothing fragrance filled me, wanting to melt more than I was. A soft smile crept over my lips as something wet brushed over my cheeks, and it roamed all over my face.“Love…. Love…. Get up. You’re sleeping for a while.” Rowan bit down on my earlobe, forcing me to get up. I opened my eyes to see his full blossomed smile and my green captivating world was watching me with all the tenderness in this universe.“It’s nice to see you smile.” He bent down and nibbled my mouth. I pulled him over me, roaming my hands in his hair while giggling in our kiss. His tongue was quite curious and left no place, which didn’t explo
Chapter 64: A Choice To Choose My world shattered, watching the crimson red liquid oozing out of his shoulder. He held my shaking hand in his hand and pressed it over his chest, giving me a tight-lipped smile. His heart was beating softly under my palm, but it scared me. He was watching me as if he wanted me to remember it. “Please, don’t do this. I just found you again.” He brought my head to rest over his forehead, removing the pearls he hated watching in my eyes. “I am really sorry, my Aylin.” Something was touring in me. He hugged me on my lap. I could hear the troops ripping the Silas apart, his painful screams were thundering the walls of the palace, but it gave me no hope ahead. “You have no right to leave me.” The thought of being without him turned my
Chapter 63: A War To Change The Fate of Our livesA drop of tear left my eyes hearing his voice after a long period. It drenched my thirsty throat, seeping its warmth until it reached my heart, but he was nowhere to see. My eyes were frantically searching for its one glimpse.His one roared surges an undying energy in them, as they step forwards dripping the anger they were holding for a long time, dividing them in two parts. He was standing at the end of the force, taking steps, reducing this unbearable distance between us.My lips quivered as finally my gaze met with the densest green forest which always reflects on me. I nodded at his assurance, suppressing my collecting tears as my eyes filled him in my soul. His eyes were asking me to bear a few more minutes and then…. I promise not to let you let out of my hug ever.The walls of the palace shuddered under the howling of hypnoti
Chapter 62: A Wait To Hear His RoarAylin’s Pov,The vibration emerging from the floor erupting a painful impulse throughout my head, bringing me out from the deep blackness where I was trapped for two days. I coughed loud as the dirt molecules from the floor entered my system with inhalation forcing me to open my eyes. My head was pounding hard with the dizziness still controlling me.A dark room welcomed me with the bone chilling coldness surrounding me everywhere. Only the narrow window over the wall gave me the strength to keep breathing, to wait for my Rowan. My hands and legs were tied with chains, restricting my movements to reach the door of the cellar.The realization passed over me, my stubbornness to go to visit the shrine with my aunt, her death, and the injury of Orson ran through my mind. A drop of tear rolled down imagining the situation of my Rowan when he found out I was taken aw
Chapter 61: In Absence of Her“Do you think he killed Tremor?” Waylen asked while taking a seat in the hall in front of the elders. Completing my aunt’s funeral, I ordered everyone to gather to listen to my final decision on his betrayal of Silas. Bastard not only betrayed us but also took the entire three battalions with him.“It doesn’t matter anymore. She has a piece of the moon goddess’s soul in her that wasn’t hidden from him. Even if he killed Tremor, his main motives must be directed toward gaining more energy.”“She is the purest source of energy present in this entire universe. There are high chances his mind wanders around it, but for this, he has to perform a difficult ritual.” Orson landed from the light, closing his eyes in distress.The veins in my brain were pounding hard, daring to burst at any moment, her absence digging a hole in me and
Chapter 60: A Distressed HeartRowan’s pov,I forced myself to open another file, but my constant efforts to distract my mind were failing me miserably. After throwing it aside and walking to the bar section of my new office, the moment she asked me to join the shrine with my aunt, my heart wasn’t at ease. I wasn’t intending to trap her here, but my heart would be at least calmer. Her absence made everything difficult for me. I consoled my heart. She returns in hours while gulping down a few bottles of whiskey.I held the glass on the table tighter as it vibrated mildly and the lights in the office accompanied them while flickering with great intensity. The stuttering sound of furniture amplified, making me hold the edge of the table. Before I could think anything further, a blinding blue light swallowed the office. I held my hand in front of my eyes, struggling to see in front me.
Chapter 59: A Betrayal Of SilasThe rush of blood in my veins jolted me at the place. I realized someone was planning to attack from behind. Orson rushed over to me, standing beside me, unleashing my silver knife in his hand protectively. His sharp gaze was looking around for any hidden enemies.“Silas? Didn’t you want to go to work?” Aunt Ryane’s confused tone shifted my attention. I turned to see the fuming face of the Silas heading towards us with his death steps. The reason for his anger was unknown to me.Aunt was shuddering, clutching her wrists tight to stand straight. My face paled witnessing the dozens of wolves launched out of the trees, swiftly approaching us with narrowing their eyes. They didn’t give us a chance to react, and we were trapped between them. The sound of their growling was vibrating the small leaves on the floor.“Alpha Silas, what&rs
Chapter 58: A Deadly Visit To Shrine…… A week later……..I peppered kisses all across his face, but he rolled his eyes, turning away from me. What’s wrong with this wolf? It’s been more than a week since that incident, yet he won’t allow me to step out of the pack house. I agree, I scared him a lot with my stunt, but he practically kept me under house arrest.I hopped over his waist, wrapping my legs around to seduce him, roaming my hands across his hard, muscular torso.“Please, Rowan.” He pressed his lips, keeping himself content as my hand was descending southwards, tickling his balls.“No.” His refusal stunned me, pushing me away as he got up, ready to approach the wardrobe. I jumped over his back, wrapping my hands and legs around his back.“Aylinnnn.” He held
Chapter 57: A Promise To Keep“NO NO, please stop darling.” He held his trembling hands up in the orange flames, backing away from me and the flaring whirlpool. The Almost burned office was rumbling under my vigorous coughing. An air molecule restricting me from seeing my Rowan more.“What do you want? I will do, but stop this right now.” His face was getting blurrier with every passing second. The air was replaced with the black smoke threatening my existence. The heated sensation all over my skin intensified, irritating as it was getting pulled out of the bone.“Promise (cough) me, you (cough) won’t do that (cough) or I will burn (cough) down myself.” He was supporting himself with hands over the heated floor. I could see the duel in his heart. His handsome face was ashen
