Sharaya and I took our time eating I think we both felt that this was important because neither of us scarfed down the food that was in front of us. In all actuality I could only eat about half of the plate before I was full already. “Full already?”I just looked down nodding my head, “Hey don’t feel bad when I first got here I could only eat a little bit at a time I promise it does get better with time.”I looked at her, “Sharaya if my wolf hadn’t told me what happened I think I might have lost my mind with worry I tried protecting you I really did but they still hurt you I am so sorry I should have tried harder.”She grabbed my hand, “Don’t apologize to be Nina you got severely hurt for me several times I told you not to do it but you were being stubborn as an ox why on earth should you apologize to me I should be the one apologizing for not being stronger.”“It is not your job to protect me Sharaya it is my job to protect you, you are my best friend after all.”She smiled at me be
I sat staring out the window for what seemed to be forever, when I heard Sharaya come back in the room. She had a tray full of food, she walked over to the the bed carefully placing the tray down on the bed. She sat down across the bed from me, “Is everything ok? You were screaming in your sleep.”I looked down at the bed, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, but it might help you feel better.”I let out a long breath, “When I was sixteen Alpha Victor came to my kingdom and killed my entire kingdom, taking me to be his breeding machine because I was cute. I have had to hide who I truly was in order to protect me identity. I have no clue where the women and children are that he took from the kingdom I have to get stronger so that I can help my kingdom.” She looked like she was a little bit confused, “ What do you mean kingdom?”I scooted as close as I could to her, “I am the daughter of King Daciana and Queen Daciana.”I swear she almost fell off the bed after I tol
We walked into the dining room, and the food was already sitting on the table, I seen the omegas leaving the dining room. I turned towards Dereck, “Are the omegas allowed to eat with us?” He just looked at me like he was confused for a second, “Well we don’t really call them omegas here they are an important part of our pack because without them we wouldn’t survive for long I mean don’t get me wrong the warriors, teachers, trainers, doctors are all important but I think that the ones that clean our house, cook our food, and help take care of the mother after birth deserve a little bit more credit then to call them and omega. Honestly most of the people that work her are volunteer, we don’t force them to work here but they get paid a generous amount for doing there job so well.” I wasn’t expecting him to answer the question like that I had tears in my eyes by the time he was done talking. He immediately embraced m
We sat there going through paperwork and writing things down from some books for what seemed like forever.“Sharaya what time did they leave?”She looked down at her watch, “It’s been about an hour since they left should we go check on them?”I was having an internal conflict with myself both Rudina and I wanted to go out their and make sure that they were safe but at the same time they wanted us to wait here.“You can link Jordon, right?”Sharaya shook her head yes then her eyes glazed over letting me know that she was linking with Jordon. I waited for a few minutes before her eyes went back to normal, but she was worried I can see that I recognized the face to well.“Sharaya what is wrong?”She let out a breath, “Well it turns out that it was Alpha Victor himself looking for you, they are keeping him away from the pack house right now since your scent is all over the place.
It was like Sharaya read my mind, “Da’Vina don’t think too much about it Dereck already loves you he won’t reject you trust me.”I just looked down at the floor, “But what if something happens to his pack because of me I don’t want anyone else getting hurt because of me.”Sharaya walked over to me pulling me into a hug, “Nina, he loves you and nothing you could say or do right now would change his mind you can’t think of the negative right now. So, let’s get our hair done and put in the contacts then you can open the present he sent up here for you.”I followed Sharaya into the bathroom and sat down on the toilet she went ahead and got the hair dye ready then came over and started dying my hair just like before.It took her about ten minutes before she was done, “No let it sit and you will use the same word as before to change your hair color back.”&n
We finished eating our food when Dereck and Jordon both got up from the table grabbing Sharaya and I’s hands leading us out into the garden where there were more candles and roses spread out. There was slow music playing everywhere Dereck grabbed my hand while Jordon grabbed Sharaya’s. Dereck started spinning me around in circles I wrapped my arm around his neck allowing him to truly spin me around. We stopped just for a moment staring into one another’s eyes, he lowered his head taking my lips into his kissing me passionately. We stood there taking each other in before breaking part catching our breath.“Da’Vina I never thought that I would find my mate in this lifetime I am so glad that I met you.”I could feel the tears forming in my eyes, “You’re not going to reject me?”He pulled away from me to look at me, “Why would I reject you, your everything I have ever wanted in a mate. Your st
I don’t know when Sharaya and I fell asleep but when we both woke up we were in our room with the blankets pulled over us. Sharaya rolled over in the bed looking at me, “How did we get up here I don’t remember.” I stretched my body before sitting up, “I honestly don’t know we fell asleep during the movie.” Sharaya stretched herself out and then sat on the edge of her bed, “I feel bad now they planned that amazing evening for us, and we fell asleep. I have never fallen asleep that quickly.” I stood up stretching my back out, “Ya I know, I haven’t slept that peacefully in a while. Maybe it is because Dereck is my mate.” Sharaya stood up looking at me, “But what’s my excuse I am not even sure if Jordon is my mate yet.” I just smiled, “Maybe your wolf is trying to tell you something.” Sharaya just shook her head at me, “She said she had to stay quiet for a while because she was saving her strength whatever that means.” I took off the dress I was wearing last night, “Maybe she is
We laid against each other for what seemed like forever before Dereck finally sat forward helping me to stand up.“We need to head back before Jordon sends out the warriors to look for us.”I nodded my head before getting back into the water holding Dereck’s hand so that I didn’t get lost as we were swimming underneath the water. It took less time to get back to the area that we were in before we went for a swim. We swam back to shore in order to get our clothes I grabbed mine and Dereck’s clothes heading over to him I handed him his clothes trying not to stare at the semi-naked man in front of me. He laughed a little bit before taking his clothes, “Da’Vina you can look at me all you want I am yours now little one.”I could feel the blush begin to form on my cheeks, once we got dressed we walked hand in hand back towards the pack but instead of heading towards the pack house, Dereck
JordonI sat in the hospital room for what seemed like forever before Dereck started moving in the bed again. “Dereck, are you awake?”Hearing him grumble, I knew he was at least part of the way awake, “Look Dereck I know that you are upset because I let them leave but this is something that she has to do in order to become who she was meant to.” Dereck’s eyes opened, “Jordon, I know but my wolf is not ok with it. We promised her we could go with her. But not only that, our son is out there. God knows where. We don’t even know if he is safe or how long he must stay away from us.” “Alpha, I understand the dilemma, but I trust in my queen and mate to be able to handle themselves and we will know if something isn’t right you know that. Right now, you need to heal so we can get the necessary things in order for when they get back.” “Get the doctor Jordon. I am ready to get out of here!” Da’VinaI felt a tap on my shoulder, “Nina, it is time to wake up. I think the close is clear. Do
After the dream I could not fall back asleep, I packed up my belongings before sitting back down. I stared up at the sky wishing more than anything that my parents and my mate could be with me. I know it’s not safe, but I want my son to be here.“Rudina, how are we supposed to keep everyone safe I feel like I am losing my mind trying to be strong for everyone.”Closing my eyes, I could feel the love coming from Rudina, “Da’Vina you’re not alone... I will always be with you; we are stronger than you are giving us credit for. You can do this we have loved ones to protect and the light that it brings into our hearts we will spread it across the entire world making sure nothing can ever touch them.”Smiling, I laid back down staring at the stars in the sky, after some time I got up waking Sharaya up. “Sharaya come on we are going to head out early.”Slowly sitting up she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, “Nina it is still dark out do you believe that it is safe for us to travel right now?”
I don’t know what time that we finally fell asleep but looking around I could see that it was day time now. I jostled Sharaya awake. “Hey hun, we need to continue on to the castle!”She jumped up before a look of realization came across her face, “Sorry Nina I thought that we were back at Victor’s.”Placing my hand on her shoulder, “It is ok you’re safe now right now we have to get going.”She nodded her head grabbing her sleeping bag and rolling it up, I tossed her the crystal the witch gave us to store everything in it for our travels. Looking at me I could see a look of worry passed through her eyes, “Um Nina I don’t remember the word to open it up or the one to close it!” Laughing I spoke, “Travel” the crystal grew large and Sharaya started loading the bag full of our belongings. She nodded at me when she was done, “Small” and it shrank back down, “How did you remember the words.” Shrugging my shoulder, “Honestly probably because that is the only way we will have access
I laid there crying for what seemed like forever before Sharaya and Jordon came into the room. Sharaya took one look at me and immediately climbed into the bed with me holding me to her. “It will be ok Nina you are strong and are doing what you need to do to protect your child. Dereck will wake up and he may be upset at first but he will understand why you’re doing this.”I began to cry harder into her chest, I felt a hand on my back and looked back to see Jordon rubbing my back for me. Both of my betas were here trying to comfort me the best way they knew how. I cried until I had no more tears to cry, “What brought you two here?”Jordon looked at Sharaya nodding his head, I turned back towards Sharaya, “We were thinking you need to get this castle thing done and dealt with. Dereck is obviously not waking up anytime soon with as much drugs have been put into his system. The witch that made our scent masks and hair dye will come and rid him of every spell that is on him currently but
I sat there staring at the monitors they started beating erratically, I pressed our button and then grabbed Dereck’s hand hoping that our bond will help steady his heart but it seemed that it was not helping. “Where the fuck are the damn doctors at?” Just as I said that the doctor came barreling with a syringe filled with a pink fluid in a syringe. I waited watching my mate starting to convulse on the other side of the bed. Not being able to help in any way other than holding his hand in hopes that our bond would help calm him. The doctor inserted the needle into his iv line closest to his hand and gently pushed the plunger until the fluid was completely gone. The nurse handed the doctor another syringe with clear fluid in it and they pushed in through the same spot as the pink fluid. We waited a few moments and he slowly stopped convulsing, “Was the antidote?” The doctor checked his vitals before responding, “Yes Luna I then followed the antidote with saline to push it through
I couldn’t take it any longer not knowing if Dereck was ok was driving me entirely insane at this point.“Sharaya have you guys found Dereck yet?”I waited a moment luckily she responded right back, “Yes he is in pretty bad shape we are bringing him back to the hospital now.”I started panicking what happen to my mate? I ripped the iv out of my arm and applied pressure to it and got out of bed, walking out of the room the nurse saw me.“Miss you can’t be out of your bed right now your very ill!”I gave her a look, “Well you are more than welcome to try and stop me but my mate is coming in here and last I check I am you Luna so back off now.”She slowly backed away from me, I started running towards the entrance. I saw Jordon pull up in front of the hospital jumping out of the car and run to the back passenger side he flung the door open. I ran over to the door I saw Dereck he was beaten all to hell and wasn’t waking up. Jordon picked him up carrying him inside the doctor already had a
We rushed towards the center of town and started asking everyone if they have seen the alpha and the beta. But nobody has seen them since they took off, from the pack house.“Sharaya, we need to look for them at the waterfall maybe they are there looking and talking but they have been gone all night and it is making me a little nervous.”She looked down at the ground, “This is my fault isn’t it?”I looked at her like she lost her mind, “No Sharaya this isn’t your fault at all why on earth would you think it is.”She started fidgeting with her hands again, “ Because you told him what happen to me!”I pulled her into a hug, “Sharaya he is not angry with you he is angry because he wasn’t there to protect you.”I squeezed her a little tighter, “Have you tried to link him again?”She shook her head no, “Well link Gavin tell him we're going to look for them we have the guards with us.”She nodded her head then her eyes glazed over for a minute before her eyes were back to her own. I grabbed
We danced until the sun came up, and everyone from the pack had started leaving congratulating Sharaya once again. I can’t believe my best friend finally gets the man that she deserves after everything she has been through. But I hope she can open up to Jordon about the abuse she suffered and he goes slow with her I don’t want her trauma to stop her from living the life she deserves. Jordon finally pulled Sharaya away from Dereck and me, heading upstairs I smiled at them knowing that they needed the time away from everyone. Dereck smiled at me, “Well I think that by tomorrow we will have a new marked couple.”I couldn’t smile because I know that it probably wouldn’t happen tonight. Because of Sharaya being raped repeatedly by Victor’s beta. Dereck picked up on my uneasiness, “Nina what is wrong?”I stepped back from Dereck, “I am a little concerned I don’t know if Sharaya has told you guys everything that she has been through and I worry that it will stop her from going forward wit
At some point Sharaya fell asleep on the couch holding Dedrik, the boys were taking entirely too long downstairs.“Does it normally take this long for the to finish interrogating prisoners?”Ashley patted my back, “Not typically but they may be trying to get some more information out of him since they know about you darling.”My eyes went wide, she pulled me into a hug “Don’t worry dear I will not say anything your secret is safe with me. Jordon informed me that I will be going along on your adventure to help with small Dedrik here.”I let go of the breath that I didn’t even know I was holding. At least I know she understands the situation so that at least Dedrik is safe, “Ashley you have to promise me that if something happens you have to get him out of there and back here no matter what.”“Don’t worry I will keep him safe no matter what!”Soon enough, I heard the boys coming up the stairs none of them walked towards us they went straight upstairs I turned back towards Ashley, “They'
