Davina’s POV“Test her blood and find out what rank she is—if she’s truly an omega or something higher.”My heart hammered against my chest, and for a second, I wondered if everyone else could hear it too. I couldn’t believe what had just come out of Beta Draven’s mouth.Check my rank? He wanted to test my blood to determine what rank I belonged to. Why? Of course, it was because he suspected something.I wanted to bolt out of the door and run out of the clinic to goddess knows where but I stopped myself because it would definitely look more suspicious if I did that. Just stay calm, Davina, stay calm.“Rank?” Rylie asked, his voice laced with confusion. “But isn’t she an omega? Why would you need to check her rank?”I nodded along with Rylie, grateful for his sense of logic. I turned my head in Draven’s direction, focusing on the steady rhythm of his breathing. His gaze bore into me, like he thought I could somehow see it.“Yes, Beta Draven. I am merely an omega,” I said, keeping my
Davina’s POVJust as I shifted, ready to make my escape, Rylie’s voice sliced through the tension. “The results are out, Beta Draven, and—holy Moon Goddess in a tutu, it’s the k-king.” A heavy silence filled the air, as if the world had been paused by an invisible hand. Then, suddenly, it felt like someone hit play. A gasp escaped me as I reached for the edges of the bed, my heart pounding in panic. I tried to stop myself from falling, but it was too late. I hit the ground with a loud thud as pain shot through my buttocks. I fought the urge to rub it and to whine as embarrassment burned through me, feeling as the weight of everyone’s gaze pinned me down, leaving me frozen in place. It was humiliating—truly humiliating—but I had no time to dwell on it. The test results were out, and to make matters worse? Hades was here. My chances of leaving this place alive had just dropped to zero.“What result?” Hades asked, his tone calm but had a slight hint of danger like he wasn't just about
Davina’s POVHis words—what did he mean by them? What did he mean by getting rid of ‘his’ scent? I wanted to ask, but something held me back. Deep down, a part of me already knew, and my heart leaped. A jolt of electricity surged through me at his touch, and a sudden wave of warmth spread between my legs.I instinctively clung to Hades tighter, my arms wrapping around his neck as he carried me. Gasps and murmurs filled the air as he walked, but he didn’t seem to care. I was confused—why was he so unconcerned about what others might think? He was the one who had warned me to keep our bond a secret, not to let anyone know we were mates."K-King, my room is that way," I blurted out before I could stop myself. He was heading up the stairs, but my room wasn’t up there—only his was."And who said we were going to your room?" Hades replied, his voice smooth and commanding, with a dark edge that sent a shiver down my spine.I opened my mouth, but no words came out—just a cough as I nearly cho
Hades POV The slave girl wasn’t the first woman I desired, but she was the first who made me crave her in ways I couldn’t explain. She ignited something in me I wasn’t accustomed to—something primal. She was the first to make me chase her, and that was dangerous. I didn’t chase. I hunted. “I’ll have her once, and then it’ll stop—everything will go back to the way it was before she came into the picture,” I told Cyrus. He didn’t respond. He didn’t need to. As she pressed against me, her breathless moans slipping from parted lips, her eyes shut, her fingers clinging to me while her head tipped back in surrender to even the smallest pleasure—I knew. I knew deep down I’d come back for more. One taste wouldn’t be enough. She wouldn’t be enough. “Good girl, you’re doing great. Just like that,” I groaned, feeling her move faster against my bulge. It was pure torture—to feel her rub against me and not tear away the thin barrier of fabric separating her from my throbbing dick. But I had to
Kian POVThe night was eerily silent—no chirping of crickets, no singing of birds, and no cries of eagles. They had all gone into hiding, as if they sensed the danger looming in the darkness and retreated from it. They were smarter— much smarter than the people standing just dozens of meters away from me, unaware of the threat that was about to befall them.I closed my eyes, my arms behind me and legs swinging, listening intently to every movement of the warriors—their rotations, the precision of their skills, and their mannerisms.They were quite organized, skilled even, but not good enough."Boss," Liam's voice snapped my attention to him. I opened my eyes, shooting a quick glance his way, my gaze lazy as I observed his figure shrouded in darkness. I could see him clearly—crouched on the branch before me, his expression always so serious, you'd think he was born that way, as if the goddess had crafted him with that look.Sigh. Why was he always so serious? The dude should lighten up
Davina POVPain.That was the first thing I felt as I woke up—throbbing, aching pain that made me groan. Instinctively, I reached out to the source of the discomfort, only to realize that it wasn’t confined to one place. The pain was everywhere, consuming every inch of my body particularly my lower body. But there was one spot—one place that hurt the worst.My hand moved toward it, trembling as I reached for that place between my legs, but before I could even get close, I froze and opened my mouth in shock.My brain had done its usual thing—forgetting all the important details because why on earth did I suddenly realize something was horribly wrong? Why had it hit me now? I swallowed nervously as my hand brushed against something.There were arms. Around my waist.Someone was spooning me.And the cherry on top? I was naked. Naked. With that someone. In a bed.No fucking way.Oh, no. No, no, no. I wanted to laugh, but the kind that came right before hysteria sets in. Instead, I lay the
Hades POVDream.“Hades! You better get up now, or I’m kicking your ass off the bed!”I groaned as my mother’s annoyed, ear-piercing voice nearly shattered my eardrums. She had stormed in the moment Emmanuel, the head butler, left in defeat after realizing I wasn’t getting up.That snitch. I would’ve rolled my eyes if I weren’t pretending to have them shut. Of course, he went running to report to Mother. Honestly, why do people think it’s easy to wake up at 6 a.m. for some boring religious gathering? Give me a break! I had even begged Father to let me skip it, but his wise response?“You will have to attend and if your mother has to get you up, it won’t be pretty.”Well, here she was, and I was now regretting every life decision that had brought me to this moment.“Hades! You idiot!”You’d think the queen of werewolves would have some level of grace or gentleness, as the stories liked to portray her. But as she grabbed me by the hair and yanked me out of bed, you’d realize just how wr
Davina POV “And where might you be going, little slave?” The voice was low, deep, and sultry, making my heart race. My scream, which was about to burst from my chest, died in my throat as Hades turned me toward him. My breath hitched, and I froze in place. I couldn’t breathe—was I supposed to be breathing? Yes, I was, but as Hades held me close against him, his arms wrapped tightly around my waist, his breath fanning over my lips, it felt impossible. He was close—too close. “You weren’t thinking of leaving me, were you?” His voice dripped with amusement, but there was a dangerous edge to it that made my stomach twist as the deep, mocking tone sent a shiver down my spine, leaving me speechless. My mouth opened, but no words came out, the sheer intensity of his presence rendering me mute. Leaving? Of course, I was! My face burned so fiercely I couldn’t tell if it was from the lack of breath or sheer embarrassment. Either way, as his hand firmly wrapped around my wrist and pulled m
Draven pov “Beta Draven,” a voice interrupted the conversation I was having, breaking my train of thought. I turned my head toward the sound and saw Marie standing before me, her head bowed in submission. My lips tugged into a frown as I watched her closely. This girl, along with another, had always bullied Davina. They were also the same ones caught spying on her that day. The only reason I let them walk away alive then was to avoid creating any unnecessary drama that might draw the king’s attention. And now, as I stood here, a reminder of my reckless moment with Davina haunted me. Almost kissing the king’s woman was a crime, one that could easily lead to my death if discovered. “What do you want? I hope you know this better be important for you to interrupt me—otherwise...” I asked coldly, my voice void of patience as her mere presence seemed to irritate me. “B-Beta Draven, it’s about the madam, I saw—” Her words faltered as I narrowed my eyes, stepping closer. “You saw what
Davina povSomething was horribly wrong.I couldn't pinpoint when it started, or how it all began, but I knew something was off. It started when a maid had approached Eva. She mentioned that her brother, Emmanuel, was looking for her. Eva had hesitated, reluctant to leave me alone, but Rylie assured her he would stay by my side. That was until he received an emergency call from the pack’s clinic and had to rush out.He didn’t want to leave, but I reassured him. I wasn’t a child. I could stay right where I was. After that, everything became a blur. Someone—no, Stella—had come up to me with a tray, offering a drink. I didn’t want to take anything from her, not especially after she had bullied me, but she insisted, saying that the king had noticed I hadn’t been drinking and asked her to bring me orange juice. Reluctantly, I took the drink, trusting that it was harmless.But only a few minutes after drinking it, my body began to react. A heat spread through me, intense and burning, as if
Davina pov"The winner of today's match will now advance to the competition!" the announcer's voice boomed over the crowd. "All packs are invited to head to the palace. The king has graciously prepared a small celebration for everyone."The crowd erupted into cheers as people began making their way back to the palace, their excited chatter filling the air. I kept my head bowed, my face burning hot. If my cheeks got any redder, I might as well have been mistaken for a ripe tomato."Did you hear it last night?" someone whispered, their voice carrying just enough for me to catch."The screams? Oh, everyone heard it. Trust me," another replied, their tone laced with amusement."Turns out the Lycan King isn’t just a beast on the battlefield but in the bedroom too," they giggled as they passed by.Kill me. This day was already turning into a nightmare.“Davina, let’s go,” Eva whispered behind me, breaking me out of my thoughts. I nodded numbly, my feet dragging as we made our way toward th
10 years agoHades povEverything was supposed to be boring today. That was why I had escaped from the hunting game to sneak in some sleep. But as I looked at the girl groaning while trying to sit up on the ground, I couldn’t help but feel amused—and a little intrigued.Usually, people would fawn over me and bend to my every whim, eager to please and let me have whatever I desired. At first, it was thrilling—having everything handed to me without question. But over time, it grew tiresome, predictable, and unbearably dull.Then, when I was named the next in line to be the Lycan King, it only got worse. Suddenly, the world’s eyes were on me, every move scrutinized, every word echoed back like gospel. It was suffocating, maddening—a constant pressure that left no room to breathe, let alone be myself."Are you crazy?!" the girl snapped, her eyes narrowing into a sharp glare as she shot up so quickly I could hear the sound of her bones cracking. She froze at the noise, her mouth opening an
10 years agoDavina pov“Help! Help me!” I screamed, clutching the tree branch as if my life depended on it. And, well, if you think about it, it really did. Because once I let go of this branch, I'd either fall to my doom or take a nasty tumble that would probably involve some broken bones and a very bruised ego. My breath was coming in panicked gasps, my heart was beating a little faster than necessary, and I was starting to question how I ended up in such a ridiculous situation.“I hate you for luring me into this trap!” I hissed, glaring at the bird in my hand, which I had somehow named Shelly—yes, Shelly. I don’t know why, I just did. Shelly, the bird who led me up this towering tree that I was now precariously clinging to, barely holding on for dear life.How did I end up here? How did a ten-year-old even climb this tree without being completely ridiculous?Well, it all started innocently enough. I was walking along with the maids and my utterly annoying, spoiled four-year-old y
Davina povToday had been... something.Breakfast with the king had been weird, to say the least. And I’m not only talking about the Alpha seated beside me who couldn’t stop boasting about how powerful and wealthy he was. I maintained respect and control, nodding politely as he spoke. But at some point, when his hand slid under the table, grazing closer and closer to my inner thigh, that control began to slip.I froze, my breath hitching as I struggled to decide what to do. My throat felt tight, and no words came to mind. I thought I’d have to endure it, to sit there silently and take it, when suddenly, Hades’ laugh rang through the hall.It wasn’t the kind of laugh that brought joy or eased tension. No, it was dry, devoid of humor, and cold enough to send a shiver down my spine.I quickly realized something bad was about to happen. It always did when he laughed like that.What was going to happen."Goodnight, Davina," Eva said softly, her hand gently patting my head as she tucked me
Hades povI watched as her eyes widened in horror, glancing toward my direction. For a moment, I couldn’t help but wonder if she could truly see, given how accurately she could pinpoint where someone was based on their gaze.The other alphas at the table exchanged glances between her and me, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and confusion. None of them dared to start eating—not yet, not until I took the first bite. They called it respect, but honestly, I couldn’t care less about their so-called etiquette. My attention was solely on her.Earlier, I had been curious about how she would react to the whispers and venomous words thrown her way. I thought it might be amusing to see her squirm under the weight of their stares, to watch her falter. But as each second passed, I realized how wrong I was. My restraint was slipping, and with every insult, my urge to silence those disrespectful fools grew stronger. I was close—so close—to having their heads roll off the ground until Draven
Davina povThe silence seemed like it would stretch on for an eternity, but then, like the flick of a switch, the murmurs and hushed whispers began as I stood frozen in place, unable to move under his intense gaze."Is that the blind girl the king likes?" A woman's voice cut through the chatter, her tone low but loud enough for me to hear as her eyes sized me up like I was some strange exhibit at a zoo."I mean, it must be her. Who else have you seen with white hair and eyes like hers?" Another voice scoffed, and I could practically feel her eyes burning holes into me.What did the king even see in her? I heard she was a servant before this. She looks like a freak. And she’s blind, isn’t she?" The biting words from the women surrounded me, their judgment clear as daylight.Then came the men."Damn, she looks hot. Look at those curves in that dress," one male voice commented shamelessly, sparking a burst of laughter from the others."I can see why the king’s interested. She’s... unique
Davina pov“Wake up, sleepyhead!” I groaned as Eva yanked the blanket off me, I could practically hear the happiness dripping from her voice as she shook me awake but all I wanted to do was bury myself back under the covers and drown out her annoyingly high-pitched voice, but her next words jolted me awake faster than a bucket of cold water.“Today is the hunting day, dearest madam, and guests from all the packs are already arriving!”The second those words left her mouth, I shot up so fast I nearly fell out of bed but Eva, ever the lifesaver, caught me before I hit the floor.Today is the hunting game! And I overslept.Panic surged through me as I whipped my head toward the spot where Hades had been sleeping last night, but the bed was empty. Of course, he’d gotten up early and left. This wasn’t the first time he’d come to my room, and it wasn’t the first time I’d overslept because of him.It was his scent—it lingered in my room and wrapped around me like a cocoon, chasing away the
