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 told her that, “ Sharaya are you ok?
She seemed to snap out of it, “ O yes I am so sorry, are you seriously royalty.”
I shook my head yes, and she screamed like a school girl that just met her favorite musician.
“OMG Nina that is amazing but why are you hiding it then if your technically the queen right now.”
I popped a piece of toast in my mouth, “Because the only way the Victor could have killed my parents was if he had help from a witch that is the only way he would have the power to defeat them. Especially my father, he wasn’t the king for no reason Sharaya.”
She sat down on the bed, “O that is a very good reason, I am sorry I just got excited about you being royalty and all.”
I took a piece of the toast again putting it in my mouth, “That’s why I have to be careful and why we told you that you can’t tell anyone our secret and why I believe Rudina had your wolf swear to her that bond is unbreakable.”
Sharaya shook her head at me, “No that is not why, why you saved us from Alpha Victor beating us to death and not just once multiple times. She swore her life to you that she would serve and protect you no matter what.”
“Why would she do that though?”
Sharaya handed me a glass of water, “Because Nina you protected us even at the cost of your own body. You almost died to protect us, so we swore to always protect you from others and if need be yourself.”
I jumped over the tray of food bringing Sharaya into a hug, “Thank you Sharaya you don’t what this means I haven’t been able to trust anyone in awhile.”
She hugged me back, “Well you can always trust me and honestly I think you can trust this pack, they absolutely hate Victor and anything that has to do with them. They have been looking for the king and queens killers for sometime. They even found a birth certificate for you but it didn’t have your name on it, just the day you were born and the king and queens name on it. “
I looked at her like she grew a second head, “My parents said that they hid everything that had to do with me. Why would they keep a birth certificate.”
She shrugged her shoulders, “Maybe that was the one thing that they couldn’t get rid of well that and a picture of you when you were little.”
I started panicking, “Sharaya they are going to know I am that girl if they have a photo.”
She placed a hand on my shoulder, “Nina you look different and besides right now you have brown hair and icy blue eyes they would never guess it unless you tell them. Which question is are you actually going to tell them when the Alpha returns?”
I looked away for a moment, “ Honestly it depends on a few things, one if Rudina says yes and two if I feel like I can trust the Alpha enough to tell him.”
I started eating some of the sandwitches that she put on the tray, “But in all fairness Rudina already said that she trusts them which is weird because you are the only one that she seemed to trust up until now.”
Sharaya pulled me onto my feet, “Well only one way to find out put your contacts in and cover those beautiful things up.”
I looked at her confused, “O and to get the hairdye out all you have to do is say Twinkle, I got it from a witch that the pack gives a house.”
I looked at her very confused, “ O don’t worry she is what is considered a light witch she never does anything that is considered evil because she is to afraid of the consequences.”
“Why do I have to put the contacts in?”
She started smiling a little bit, “Well it would seem that the Alpha is going to be here early I guess he finished up the pack business early and decided to come home. He wants to meet you in his office to talk with you and depending on that if you want to be linked with the pack.”
That seemed to shock my system a little bit, so I went ahead and took the contacts into the bathroom. I made sure to put them in before I went downstairs, I am glad that she said something because I sure would have forgot. I got so use to them wearing them at the howlite pack that it seemed weird to put brand new ones in. I had to blink quite a bit in order to get my eyes use to wearing new ones.
When I blinked then reopened my eyes Sharaya was standing in the bathroom.
“Let me see turn around!”
I turned around and she took a look at them, “They are in the right spot so you should be fine are you ready?”
I just nodded my head, for some reason I felt weird like something was about to happen. But I shook it off and grabbed Sharaya’s hand and we walked down to the Alpha’s office. Sharaya went to knock on the door but before she could the door opened and it was Beta Jordon.
“No need to knock Sharaya the Alpha has been expecting you guys.”
As soon as they moved out of the way the most mouthwatering scent him me. It smelled like chocolate and
Ocean’s Breeze, “Rudina please tell me that’s not what I think it is.”
“I told you that we had a second chance mate, now go in there let me get a look at him.”
I slowly walked into the office and the man in front of me started sniffing around like he lost his mind. When he turned around my mouth fell open, he was about 6’3” with these most amazing green eyes and short dark hair. He started heading towards me sniffing when he got in front of me his eyes turned black, “MINE!”
Rudina came forward, “MINE” then they practically jumped each other. I heard someone clearing there throat so we broke apart, and turned and sure enough Sharaya was trying to get our attention. The beta was smiling from ear to ear, I turned back towards the man and I didn’t even know his name. I stuck my hand out, “Hi my name is Da’vina!”
He started laughing, he took my hand “My name is Alpha Dereck, and your name sounds amazing my little mate.”
I couldn’t help but smile at what he said, but I couldn’t help but be a little reserved about this seen how my first mate was an entire psycho that killed my family.
“Nina don’t be scared he is not going to hurt us just trust me like I do you.”
I know that she is right but I am still worried that we won’t be able to trust him like we do Sharaya.
“Come sit down let us talk.”
I took his hand allowing him to lead me to where we were going to sit. Beta Jordan and Sharaya sat directly across from us, “Now Sharaya has told us a little bit about what happen to you at least what she knows about. Could you possibly fill us in on it or at least give us your last name?”
I looked at Sharaya and she gave me a smile shaking her head yes, I took a deep breath knowing that this could change the course of if our mate would reject us or not.
“Well my full name is Da’Vina Daciana I am the daughter of King and Queen Daciana.”
My mate and his beta jumped out of their seats which made me jump into fighting position just in case. They looked confused at first then Sharaya stepped in between.
“Boys you’re freaking her out sit down you are making her nervous.”
They looked at me and realization finally hit them, my mate stepped forward.
“I am sorry I didn’t mean to freak you out. We just have been searching for you everywhere and were still trying to figure out what happen to your parents.”
I let out the breath that I was holding, “It is ok I shouldn’t have freaked out the way I did.”
Beta Jordan stepped forward, “No don’t apologize after everything that you have been through.”
I just smiled at him before turning back towards my mate, “I understand if you want to reject me I come with a lot of trouble and I don’t want to bring that to your pack.”
He looked at me with a confused look on his face, “Why would I reject you just because of who your parents are?”
I looked down at the floor before turning towards Sharaya again she nodded her head giving me the encouragement that I so desperately needed. I whispered twinkle and the hair dye that was in my hair started to fade showing my true hair. My hair was always the brightest thing in the world because the silver was so bright. Then I reached up carefully taking the contacts out of my eyes before putting them in the case that Sharaya had gotten me.
I looked up making sure to look and both of them, “This is why I said you could reject me I come with a lot of trouble, I am not a normal wolf, I don’t know exactly what I am but I know for sure that the reason my parents are dead is because of what I am and you shouldn’t put your pack at risk because of me not including the fact that Alpha Victor was my first mate but I rejected him as soon as I found out.”
All there mouth’s fell open, but my mate stepped forward grabbing my chin pulling me into a kiss.
“Nina I wouldn’t leave you no matter what I have waited for you all my life why would I give you up because of something that is out of your control. Your parents death is not your fault this is all Victors fault and I would love for you to be mine forever if you would allow it.”
I almost melted as those words left his mouth, I let out the breath that I was holding.
Beta stepped up, “You are the luna of this pack and we will protect you and help guide you when the time comes don’t be scared or think that any of us would reject you.”
Sabrina started laughing and we all turned to her like she lost her damn mind, “You guys do realize that technically she is the queen of this kingdom right.”
It was like a shock went through the beta and alpha’s systems when it finally registered they looked at each other before looking at me. I looked at Sabrina and we both just started laughing, we laughed so hard we ended up on the floor crying. When we finally collected ourselves and stood up, the boys didn’t look happy that we were laughing.
“Don’t get upset with us because you forgot that I am technically the queen but I have to train and go back to the house or castle to find my families secrets it is the only thing that will help at this point because Rudina won’t tell me anything until then.”
They looked at each other I could tell that they were linking each other before they turned back towards me.
“We can help with all that but you will not be training with any other male other then me sorry, but I don’t want any other male around you.”
I looked at him with a smile on my face, “Well seen how only three of you know that I am special I can’t really train with anyone else at least in wolf form I can’t she kind of sticks out like a sore thumb.”
They looked at me confused, Sharaya stepped forward “Take us to the special room that way nobody can see us, and she can show you why.”
They just nodded their head, walking ahead of us, we followed them down a few set of stairs and through a long concrete hallway. We arrived at a very large metal door that had a key lock on it, but it looked weird. Dereck placed his thumb on the handle and the stuck the key in unlocking the door he held it open so that the rest of us could get inside before he closed the door behind us. Once we were inside, I could see why she wanted to come here there are absolutely no windows in here whatsoever and as far as I can tell that door is the only exit and entrance into this room. Dereck closed the door behind us and then turned towards me.
“It is ok nobody can see or hear anything that happens in here typically we use it for prisoners but if what you say is true we can use it to help train your wolf that way nobody sees it but us.”
I nodded my head turning towards Sharaya she nodded her head again.
“Rudina your time to shine my dear.”
I could see the smile on her face, we shift quickly landing on all fours, the beta looked like he was about to shit himself and our mate seemed to be in shock. We walked over to him and Rudina pressed her head into his arm giving a little whimper. That seemed to snap him out of it and he rubbed our head a little bit, “You are beautiful my love the most amazing thing that I have ever seen.”
I shifted back and Sharaya tossed me some clothes I quickly put them on I looked at Dereck and he was fighting control so I wanted to make it a little bit easier on him.
“This is why I can’t shift in front of the pack right now at least not till I figure out everything.”
They looked at each other then back at me, well then we have to show you something but let us get something to eat at the very least before we show you. I nodded my head following them out the room and to the dining room, I can’t believe that I found my second chance mate so soon it shouldn’t be possible. But the goddess seems to be shining down on me at this particular time which don’t get me wrong I am grateful for it especially after everything I have been through.
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
Once the workers finished decorating the room and setting up all the furniture Dereck and I walked into the nursery to finish getting everything put away that we bought from the store for him. While some of the maids took the bouncer and one of the bassinets downstairs to the living room. Dereck bought one for each room of the house including a little setup for Sharaya’s room. I know tonight that I will lose my innocence to my mate but tomorrow we celebrate Sharaya’s eighteenth birthday. She will find out her mate is Jordon and she will be happier than shit she already likes Jordon. “Dereck you know Sharaya and Jordon are mates right?”He smiled at me, “Ya I know Jordon already told me that is why I want to help make her birthday a huge thing that way when she smells him it will be a magical moment. Dereck was rocking Dedrik, it was a beautiful sight I can’t wait for us to have children of our own. Now I ha
When I woke up I realized that I was back in the bed with a strong arm wrapped around me pulling me close. I haven’t felt this protected and safe since my father was alive, I rubbed my ass against Dimitri’s penis. Trying to wake him up Rudina and I wanted our mate but rubbing against him didn’t wake him he must have been dead asleep. I rolled over placing my hand down his boxers and grabbing his penis in my hand. I wasn’t quite sure what to do so I started moving my hand up and down causing his penis to grow against my hand. “My my little mate are we in a rush this morning?”I looked up to see Dereck staring at me, I smiled and continued to stroke his penis while I watched his head roll back in the excitable moan that came from him. Made the moistness between my legs begin to flow, I allowed Rudina forward to have her time with Dereck. I watched them Dereck wasn’t holding back with Rudina, once she gave back contro
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'
