I squirmed in his lap, my breathing uneven as Hades’ lips trailed down my neck, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin. Heat pooled in my core, and I clenched my thighs together, trying to suppress the whimper threatening to escape. “Hades,” I managed to whisper, my voice trembling. “The morning meeting… it’ll start soon.” He chuckled darkly against my skin, his grip tightening on my hips as he shifted me, pressing me harder against the growing hardness beneath me. My gasp turned into a shaky moan as he rolled my hips against him, sending a jolt of pleasure through my body. “Let them wait,” he growled, his voice rough and filled with need. “You’re mine first, Davina. Feel what you do to me—and tell me you’re not as desperate for this as I am.” I couldn’t form a response, my head tipping back as his lips claimed mine, his hands guiding my movements until I was lost in him. — Caught between a king haunted by his own demons and a past that refuses to stay buried, Davina must uncover the power within her before darkness consumes them both. Will the Lycan King see the warrior she truly is, or will her light be extinguished before he claims her as his?
View MoreKian pov.I felt restless. Uneasy. And—damn it—I felt scared.Fuck! What the hell was wrong with me? No, it had to be Caleb. That dumb wolf had to be the reason I was feeling this way.“Kian! How dare you agree to this? How dare you, after I warned you not to harm her?!” Caleb’s furious growl echoed in my head, and I felt him fight for control. This time, he was serious—dead set on taking over. His force was relentless, making it harder for me to resist.I kept my expression blank as Evangelina, Ethan’s daughter, spoke, clearly trying to divert Theo’s and my attention.“I love the new collection this season. It’s so pretty! I’m going to buy a lot of clothes from you this time, Theo.”Theo, a man with long black hair, simply offered a polite bow.“I’d be honored to have you do that, Lady Evangelina,” he said, the corner of his lips tilting into a smile.Almost instantly, Evangelina’s two friends blushed at the sight of the strikingly handsome man.I frowned, my hands clenching at my si
Davina pov. Disclaimer: Attempted mention of assault. "Scream, and you die." My body went deadly still, my heart pounding so hard against my chest that I could hear it. The stranger’s hand covered my mouth—my nose. I could barely breathe, but what terrified me even more was something else entirely. Eva had been outside when the stranger entered. Which meant the thud I had heard earlier… Had been her body hitting the ground. Eva… Was she okay? “Fuck… you’re really something. Your body is to die for,” the stranger murmured, and my eyes widened as I felt his hand on me. That’s when I realized—I was naked, only in my underwear. Shit. Shit. This was bad. Really bad. I groaned as his filthy hands roamed over me, touching everywhere—my waist, my butt. He was practically seizing me, taking his time. “Mmm—” I struggled, trying to move, but it was useless. He was twice my size, his grip unyielding, his strength undeniable. I knew, just from the way he had lifted me into the air earl
Davina pov.“Oh my goddess! That dress looks so beautiful on you. You should definitely buy it, Evangelina. It makes your eyes pop.”One of Evangelina’s friends, Camille, squealed in delight as the sound of fabric slipping on and off their bodies reached my ears.“Anything looks good on Evangelina, but yes, that dress really suits you, babe. You should definitely get it.” The other one, Esther commented.“Oh really? Thank you, girls. You’re too nice, haha,” Evangelina said, her voice dripping with fake sweetness.I sighed, resting my head on my hand as I sat uncomfortably on the couch, forced to listen to their mindless chatter.Eva stood not far from me, and I could tell she was just as uncomfortable, but she remained silent.I didn’t say anything either.For the past hour, Evangelina and her friends had ignored me as though I weren’t even there—which, honestly, was fine by me. But what wasn’t fine was them refusing to let me leave.When I brought up the idea of leaving, Evangelina,
Davina pov. “Oh, don’t say that. That’s mean. Anyone can shop here. Plus, she’s the king’s mate, right, Davina?” Silence. I could feel everyone’s gaze on me, especially both Sebastian and Theo. They were all waiting to see how I would respond, anticipating a reaction—waiting for a show. But I don’t give them the satisfaction. I’ve learned that the best way to keep your emotions and thoughts hidden is to remain unaffected by provocations, and so… “How could you—” “Good afternoon, Lady Evangelina. It’s lovely to see you here. And yes, I am shopping for clothes. I assume you are doing the same?” I smile, cutting Eva off while giving Evangelina a light bow, maintaining the poise of a dignified woman. I didn’t want any drama, especially in a place like this. According to Eva, this was where all the elites came to shop, and if I reacted or did something wrong, it wouldn’t just reflect badly on me but also on the king. I couldn't give them the satisfaction, couldn't let their words aff
Davina pov.The car came to a stop in front of the building, and almost instantly, I straightened up, my body going rigid. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing nerves, but it was easier said than done—especially when I knew I was about to get into trouble. No, not about to—I was going to be in trouble.Eva had told me that all kinds of people shopped here—Ministers, Alphas, Beta wives, and their children. That meant I had no right to step foot inside. Even if I had once been an Alpha’s daughter, that life was long gone. Now, I was nothing more than a slave—a slave who had to keep his identity a secret.“We’re here, madam,” Sebastian’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. I took a deep, steady breath as the door beside me opened, and a hand stretched out toward me.I blinked, momentarily caught off guard, my gaze drifting downward in hesitation.“Davina, his hand…” Eva prompted, urging me to take it.Reluctantly, I reached out, my fingers brushing against Sebastian’s. Almost ins
Davina pov.Awkward.That was the only way to describe whatever was happening right now. As the car moved down the road, silence filled the air. No one spoke—not even Eva, who sat beside me, as if she could sense the tension radiating between me and Sebastian.I fiddled with the hem of my dress, biting my bottom lip, my head lowered in an attempt to distract myself. But it wasn’t working. Sebastian sat in the passenger seat, his gaze flickering back and forth from the rearview mirror. I could feel his eyes on me and it made me uncomfortable.Thinking about it, it actually felt like I had met him before. Now that I no longer associated him with my Sebastian, it was as if I had come to my senses and could finally see clearly (the irony).His voice and scent, especially, felt familiar. Yet, for some reason, I couldn't place them—where I had met him before or if I truly knew him.“We are almost at the boutique, madam. Should I park in front or at the back of the boutique?” The driver’s vo
Hades pov."The Lunaria grace is a flower known for its powerful healing properties. It is rumored to cure any disease, and some even claim it has the ability to bring the dead back to life. However, that last claim is likely baseless, given that the Lunaria’s Grace hasn’t been seen for centuries.""The flower is believed to be extinct, with no recorded sightings for years. However, if anyone were to possess it, it would be the Veil Auction House—the most influential auction house in the kingdom, known for acquiring rare and priceless artifacts. Still, the Lunaria’s Grace is so rare and powerful that I highly doubt they actually have it. The doctor may have simply mentioned it in a desperate attempt to save his life. That is my assessment of the matter, Your Majesty."My fingers paused as Felix fell silent, his head slightly bowed as he sat in the front seat of the car, his tone respectful yet cold.I had asked for his opinion on the Lunaria’s Grace—whether it was real and if it could
Davina pov.I sat on my bed, a light expression on my face as a smile tugged at my lips. The night had gone well—I had enjoyed myself, and for the first time in a while, I had celebrated my birthday with laughter, drinks, and cake. It was a rare moment of happiness."Thank you, Father. Thank you, Mother, for coming back. You gave me the best present today," I murmured, setting aside all the gifts except for Eva’s and Rylie's, telling myself I would open them tomorrow.Remembering Eva’s gift was smaller, like a box, I reached for it. Carefully unwrapping the present, my fingers traced over the contents. A cold surface met my touch, and I instantly recognized it—a bracelet.A soft smile curled my lips as I held it up before slipping it onto my wrist, feeling a deep sense of gratitude.It must be beautiful. Such a shame I couldn’t see it.I reached for Rylie’s present, remembering how he had bragged about it earlier. He had insisted I would absolutely love it and even told me to thank hi
Davina pov.“What?” I stared in disbelief as everyone yelled ‘Happy Birthday!’ in unison, their voices brimming with excitement as they swarmed toward me.“Happy birthday, Madam! I wasn’t sure what to get you, so I gathered the most beautiful flowers from the garden,” someone said, gently pushing a bouquet into my arms.“I—”“Happy birthday, Madam! May the goddess bless you with many more years of good health,” another chimed in enthusiastically.I raised a brow in confusion as gifts were suddenly thrust into my arms, each accompanied by warm wishes and endless praise.What was going on? I didn’t even know half of these people, so why were they…“Hey! Hey! Give the lady some space to breathe and stop crowding her.”I turned toward Rylie’s voice as he pushed people aside, his tone loud and commanding. I heard murmurs, curses, and scoffs as they grudgingly stepped away.“Hmph, you guys should’ve let her real friends congratulate her first,” Rylie huffed before turning to me. I could tel
Davina’s POVThe moon hung high, casting shadows across the courtyard. I stood in the clearing, my breath steady, my muscles tensed with anticipation as I watched the man before me with narrowed eyes.I swiftly moved to the side, barely avoiding the hand that came at me. Shifting my stance, determination fueled me and I charged forward, using my fist to direct a blow at him.“Too slow” He frowned as he deflected my attack effortlessly with his hand. I yelled in frustration and directed a kick to his side but he seemed almost bored as he avoided me, sidestepping the attack with ease, his eyes never leaving mine for a second. His attention was on me, watching and accessing my every move. His eyes flashed amber when he noticed my kick and he jumped back, dodging it.“Too predictable” He yawned, blocking my punch with just a casual flick of his wrist. Strands of my wet hair stuck to my face as I groaned, my breath coming out uneven. I watched him smirk, undisturbed and unbothered. I was...
