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
Davina’s POV“Wake up, Davina. You need to wake up now” I felt a hand on my shoulder, shaking me awake. My eyes fluttered open, and the world came into focus. I had fallen asleep while waiting for Father, I groaned and sat up, staring at the person before me.“Mom?” I asked, trying to adjust to the darkness. When I finally did, my eyes widened in horror at the sight before me. Mother’s face was close to mine, but something was wrong. Blood was smeared across her cheeks, her lips trembled as she held Sebastian close and both had tears falling from their eyes.“Mom, are you okay?” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the pounding in my ears. The sight of the blood staining her clothes, dripping from wounds I couldn’t even make sense of, sent a chill down my spine. My heart raced and my hands reached out instinctively.“Davina, listen to me” She held my hands as tears fell from her cheek “Your father-” She took a harsh breath, trying to form coherent words.“Your father is dead.”T
Davina’s POVFive years later. “We have item sixteen, a twenty-year-old she-wolf who has been trained to fulfill a man’s every desire. Perfectly obedient, Perfectly broken, what more could a man want.” There were sounds of chuckles as Valen paused before continuing. “This item is only on lease for 15 days though and she must be returned in the perfect state so let's start the bidding at twenty silver!”.“Thirty sliver!” Someone yelled.“Sixty sliver” Another countered.I had my head down as I listened behind the curtain with the other people that had been arranged in a line to be sold like commodities. We were commodities if you think about it, the moment you entered the Veil Auction house, your life and death did not matter and you would be only seen as an object whether you liked it or not.“Eighty slivers!” Valen’s voice cut through the crowd. “Eighty silver, going once… going twice…” There was total silence as he paused for a breath before bringing his gavel down. “Sold!”Soun
HADES POVI tapped my fingers continuously in a rhythm as I gazed down at the stage below. My eyes were glued on the figure that had her head down, her hair is white, just like the little tattered dress that did nothing to hide her small body.“Ladies and gentlemen, our next item is a true prize among our ranks. I present to you a pure breeder”.A breeder, huh? I tilted my head with a frown as her scent- lavender and a mixture of honey continued to draw me in, almost like a spell, igniting my senses. “Item twenty five is rare, breeders like her have an extraordinary ability to pass on formidable traits, ensuring that any offspring will be powerful and resilient. Her bloodline is a rare treasure-one that can elevate any pack to greatness”.“Bidding starts at one hundred silver!”.“Three hundred sliver!”“Five hundred!”“Mate” Cyrus, who had been quiet since we got here, suddenly growled in my mind, making me scoff.“No”.“What do you mean no?” Cryus asked menacingly.“I can't smell
Davina’s POVThe Lycan King is my mate.I felt my heartbeat racing with each passing second, I tried to control my breathing and appear as small as possible away from him but when he leaned closer, I felt an intense spark from his touch alone, and a foreign sensation pulled between my legs, invoking a moan from within me.I held my breath and replayed his earlier words in my head. “No one can know you’re my mate” I swallowed and my heart tightened in pain. Why didn't reject me instead? Even if he didn't necessarily reject me, I could still feel the slight pain of rejection coursing through me.He didn't seem like he wanted me and he could have left me at the auction house if he didn't want anyone to know I was his mate so why did he buy me.My stomach dropped as a thought flashed through my mind. I closed my legs tighter and raised up my head slightly towards his direction but quickly looked down when I felt his eyes on me.He had remained silent during the rest of the journey. He ha
HADES POV“Claim her, Hades” Cyrus's voice resonated within me, almost like the devil tempting one to do its bidding.“I know you want her, Hades. You want to take her– to feel her” “Let's mark her, Hades. I want to feel her warmth. Her scent is driving me insane” Cyrus spoke again with an impatient growl but I ignored him, fingers flipping through the pages and eyes scanning the content of the file yet my mind was clouded with other thoughts.I couldn't pay the slightest attention to what I was reading but it didn't seem that what I was looking at was worthy of my attention either. Another waste of time, I frowned and narrowed my eyes.“Your majesty, the first agender today is the allocation of resources” The royal advisor announced with a loud voice. I didn't raise my head– only continued flipping through the poor attempt of a proposal with an unimpressed expression.“Your majesty, we need to allocate more funds to the northern region. More packs are being attacked by rogues and su
Davina’s POV “Get her cleaned up” Emmanuel ordered and I held the hem of my dress tighter. “Make sure she is properly dressed too and give her suppressant, she must not get pregnant since she will be spending the night with the Lycan king”. I froze the moment those words were uttered. A chill ran down my spine, my heart pounding in my chest. Every nerve in my body went rigid as my mind scrambled to process the weight of what had just been said. Did I hear wrong? Suppressant? Spending the night with the Lycan king? My legs almost gave way but I stretched my hand out to hold onto anything that was near me– I touched a hard surface and I held the edge of the table, keeping my body steady to stop myself from falling. "Oh, Moon Goddess. Is that true? What could the Lycan King possibly see in her?" one of the girls murmured, her words heavy with disbelief. I could feel their stares pressing down on me and they carried a weight of judgment and resentment. "Right? She looks like
HADES POV I rushed through the corridor, the sound of my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. The air was suffocating, it felt like I was drowning. I couldn't breathe but I couldn't stop. I had to get to them—had to reach them before it was too late. As I ran, the air was thick with tension, heavy with the scent of something darker—blood. Lifeless bodies laid sprawled across the ground, ruined, mutilated and broken— left forever in the cold embrace of death. It was a sight that would leave even the goddess in tears. “Prince!” As I turned the corner, the warriors followed closely behind, urging me to turn back, that it was too dangerous but I didn't stop, I couldn't. “Please…” I silently begged as I stopped at the grand doors of the throne room. Blood splattered on the door and my heart lurched in my chest at the sight. I hesitated. It was a brief moment but I hesitated as I stood frozen in place. I couldn't bring myself to do it, I didn't want to open that door bec
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
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,
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 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
