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
Davina POV“Madam? What are you talking about?” I asked, confused, as I gripped the hem of the shirt. I had completely forgotten that I was wearing Hades’ shirt and that my current state wasn’t exactly appropriate. Or maybe the words coming from both Emmanuel and Eva had shocked me so much that I didn’t care anymore.“Well—” Eva began, clearly trying to find the right words, but Emmanuel cut her off.“You’ve risen in rank. You’re not a servant anymore—you’re a mistress.”“What!” I yelled, barely able to process the words as I blink in confusion, I could have sworn that my jaw reached the ground as I gasped in shock.Mistress. I was a mistress? But what exactly did that even mean?“Ouch! That hurts,” Emmanuel groaned, and from the sound of it, Eva had elbowed him with precision.“Shut up,” she snapped. “Go on, shoo. I’ll handle this. Don’t you have some poor souls to terrorize today?”“What? Terrorize? How dare you!” Emmanuel huffed, and even when I couldn't see it, I knew he was puffi
Davina POV“What are you doing down there?” Draven asked, his voice low and tinged with curiosity. He hadn't taken his eyes off me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine as his gaze lingered a moment too long on my butt. Heat rushed to my face, and I quickly straightened up on my knees.“B-Beta Draven, I— I mean, we... we were just on our way down the stairs,” Eva stammered and I nodded quickly in agreement."On your knees down the stairs? Well, that's new," Draven remarked, his tone teasing. I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment as Eva and I scrambled to our feet. She quickly extended her hand to me, making sure I wouldn't fall."I—" I started to speak, wanting to take the blame so Eva wouldn’t be in an awkward position, but Draven cut me off before I could finish."Eva, right? Can I speak to Davina alone? It won't take long," Draven asked. I swallowed nervously, pinching Eva lightly to make an excuse. The last time Draven had said it wouldn't ‘take long’ he had freaking dragged
Hades POVToday had been exhausting. Not because of the ministers who stood before me, arguing over some trivial matter. I wasn’t listening to them—their voices were nothing but a buzz in the background. Idiots, all of them. Too dumb to use whatever remnants of their brain cells still worked.No, what exhausted me was her. My mate. The one I couldn’t seem to resist, no matter how hard I tried. Her scent, her touch, her body—every inch of her was burned into my mind. I had told myself that if I fucked her last night, I’d be fine. That I’d get her out of my system and move on. But now, I was more unfocused than ever, my thoughts consumed by the memory of her. The feel of her beneath me. And my cock throbbed painfully at the thought.Damn it.“The spread of wolfsbane has been increasing lately,” one of the ministers said, his tone urgent. “Many packs have been purchasing it illegally. I advise you, your majesty, to find the source of whoever is distributing this poison and punish them.”
Davina POVI lay on the bed, staring into the endless darkness, listening to the silence that stretched on.I couldn’t sleep. No matter how hard I tried, sleep wouldn’t come. I felt nervous, even a little scared, ever since Eva had brought me to this room. Despite being unable to see anything, I could tell this room was different from the one I had before. It was larger, more spacious, and the bed was incredibly soft, just like the one back home at the Goldenfang Pack. Yet, despite all these comforts, I couldn’t find rest.“Ahh, get a grip, Davina” I suddenly groan out and grip my hair in frustration. I needed to stop thinking about him– I need to stop thinking about last night. I couldn't control my body whenever I had those thoughts. It was like it had a mind of it's own and would react when I thought about Hades.It was frustrating because, even though my body ached, I still craved his touch. I wanted him in me again, and that was incredibly annoying. It felt so ironic—here I was,
Davina POV No way in hell that was a growl. “Forgive me, your Majesty,” Draven said quickly, retracting his hand and stepping back. I swallowed nervously, waiting for Hades to do the same, but instead, he wrapped his arms around my waist possessively, pulling me closer to him. His scent- Thump. Thump. My heart pounded in my chest as I lifted my head but quickly dropped it again when I felt his intense stare on me. It made me uncomfortable, pulling at my insecurities, but there was something else—an overwhelming heat spreading between my thighs, making my breath hitch. Goddess, what was happening to me? Oh right... Hades happened. “Do you intend to stand here all day?,” Hades said, his thump softly stroking my waist and bringing me out of my daze. That was when I realized I had been frozen in place for a while. “I-im sorry, my king" I bowed and head quickly, it was a surprise that my neck didn't break with the force I used.He was watching me with an amused expression and...
Davina POV“Walk in and blow everyone away,” Eva had said with a mischievous grin, ignoring my protests. My eyes widened, and I instinctively grabbed her hand, refusing to go alone. This felt like walking into a lion’s den—or, in this case, a wolf’s den.Eva had practically forced me into this dress. Thankfully, it wasn’t as grand as the one from yesterday, but still… how could I describe it? It was a long, tight-fitted gown with a daring slit up the side. I had no idea how it looked on me, but from the weight of the stares following me as I walked, I could only imagine it was too much.“Isn’t this a little too much?” I’d asked her before we left the room, tugging at the hem of the dress in discomfort. But Eva, in all her dramatic glory, had waved off my concerns. “It’s breakfast with the king, the most powerful man—the Lycan King! Plus, Lady Evangeline will be there, so you have to steal that spotlight.”Spotlight? I didn’t want a spotlight. I wanted to disappear entirely. I didn’t c
Hades POV I walked into the dining area, my hands tucked casually in my pockets, my expression cold, and my footsteps light against the marble floor."Greetings to the king," the staff murmured, bowing deeply, their heads lowered in respect. But I didn’t spare them even a glance as I moved forward with Draven trailed silently behind me.With every step, my frown deepened as irritation and displeasure coursed through me. Suddenly, I halted, my gaze snapping toward a group of female maids. My cold, piercing glare locked onto them, as I watched them with strong killing intent.Their faces drained of color, fear flashing in their wide eyes. They clearly hadn’t expected me to suddenly turn my attention towards them so openly but they were the ones stealing weird glance at me which infuriated me.I hated being watched and most of all, I hated being disrespected."Did I permit you to gawk at me?" My voice was low and calm that it seemed to send shivers down their spines. "Or do you want me
Evangeline's POV.“Kill that bastard.”"Yes, my lady," Liam said with a bow, but before he could do anything else, he walked over, picked up a towel, and handed it to me.I crossed my arms, staring at it in confusion for a moment, before my eyes widened in realization. Oh, right! I was naked right now—completely forgot about that.Not that I cared anyway.I scoffed, grabbing the towel and quickly wrapping it around my body. My attention shifted back to the bastard groaning in pain on the ground, struggling to get up. I couldn’t help but smirk wickedly as I pointed my finger at him while turning my gaze to Liam. “Kill him, and make it as painful as possible.”Liam’s expression hardened, but he didn’t hesitate. His voice was cool and controlled as he nodded. "As you wish, my lady."I watched as Liam moved toward the man, my pulse quickening with satisfaction. Heh, who was the pathetic one now? At least I wasn’t the one on the ground like a loser.“P-please, spare me! I didn’t mean anyth
Evangeline's POV“Fuck, yes, baby. Just like that. Move those hips for me," the man beneath me groaned, his voice dripping with need as I ride him faster. My eyes fluttered closed, my head titled back, lost in the way his length pressed deep inside me, brushing against every nerve that made me shudder with pleasure.One of his hands gripped my ass tightly, kneading it possesseivsly, while the other wrapped around my throat. His grip was firm yet tantalizing, controlling the rhythm as he pushed me down harder onto his rock-hard cock. The overwhelming sensation courses through me, bringing me closer and closer to the edge.“You like that, don't you, slut? Make Daddy's cock feel good. Make Daddy cum," he groaned, a wicked smirk curling his lips as he delivered a shape smack to my ass. The sting melted into a jolt of pleasure that left me moaning louder, the sound of our bodies colliding echoing through the room.“Fuck, yes, I'm so close," I gasped, hands clutching his shoulders for balan
Davina POVI blinked continuously, struggling to process the odd sensation in my chest. I couldn’t make sense of it at all. My heart usually pounded when I was with Hades, but that was because of fear—and maybe a bit of lust, too. But this time? This time, it was different, and it was all because he laughed.Yes, my heart was in a complete chaos right now, all because of a laugh!It was ridiculous, really. How could something so simple have such an effect on me?“Can you hear me?” Hades’s voice jolted me out of my daze, and that was when I noticed how close he had gotten. He was sitting up now, just a few inches from me, his intense gaze locking onto me.“I–I…” My words stumbled over themselves as my instincts kicked in, and I scrambled to move back. A terrible idea, of course, because this time, Hades’s hands weren’t wrapped around my waist to stop me.With a loud thud, I fell off the bed, landing in a heap on the floor.Ground, please swallow me whole right now.“Are you okay?” Hade
Davina POVThe soft sounds of birds chirping filtered through the morning air as I lay still, my body curled on the bed with Hades beside me. He had spent the night in my room after our… ahem “session.”After he came inside my mouth, I had wanted to cough it out, but he had commanded me to swallow. And I did. I even showed him as proof, and a flush of embarrassment burned through me when he patted my head and called me a good girl for it.I had thought we would continue—his desire seemed insatiable—but instead, he had carried me to the bed and wrapped his strong arms around me, holding me close. I didn’t think I’d be able to sleep with such proximity, but, hell, I was probably snoring at some point last night.“What do you look like?” I whispered, more to myself, fighting the urge to trace my fingers over his face. He was probably really attractive—the maids’ gossip certainly suggested so.I bit my bottom lip and raised my hand to his face when the urge won over, but I paused, holding
