Lucien’s POVI had been watching her for a few hours now. Since the moment she transformed and I saw her wolf form for the first time, Shadow was restless. It felt like the pull we had was more. We only locked eyes for a few minutes before she ran off for what was needed.I understood that because everyone did this, but it felt like it was a new thing now that she was the one to run off. I wanted to speak with her and be with her. I knew I loved her and I also knew it had nothing to do with the white wolf.It took me a while, but I have realized my feelings for her. It started from the very moment I saw her. I felt the pull. I felt my heart act out, but I stopped myself from understanding this feeling because I did not want to get married to a human.I thought she was going to weaken the pack with her blood. All the while my heart and Shadow kept stopping me from making stupid decisions and then I realised that she was not ordinary after all. I knew it was wrong to suddenly want her,
Aimee’s POVIt took us an hour long drive to get to the Moon Goddess’ shrine. Once I stepped down, the car drove off leaving me at the entrance of a small house with a large compound. There were so many trees around. In fact, it stood in the middle of the forest.This was not really what I had imagined when I was headed here. I had imagined white houses, a wolf mark here and there, but it was normal. It looked normal, as though it was just a random person living in this place.Slowly, I approached the small house, my eyes darting around as I did so. I could feel the energy and aura around the place. It was scary, but also soothing at the same time. No one needed to tell me that this was truly the place. I had not gotten to the door when an elderly lady stepped out of the house with a smile. She did not look old, but I could tell she had seen a lot of things. Her hair was so long it passed her knee. Unlike most old women I have seen, she was strong and could stand erect, with rarely a
Aimee’s POVI stared at her for a couple of minutes after she spoke without saying a word. “How did his parents die? I know they died, but no one has said anything else about their death,” I told her“Not many had healed from what happened, but that’s not my story to tell,” she told meShe stared at me for a couple of minutes, then smiled. “Don’t think about it, child,” she said. “It’s not about trust. The only person that can tell you is your mate. He is still trying to tell you. Give him time and he will come around. Don’t judge him through his actions sometimes. If you want to know what he truly feels, watch his eyes”After that, she stood. “Go and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be your last training session, so you should be prepared for it”I nodded, and she walked away. The Oracle gave me another thing to think about as I went to bed for the night. It made me view a few things from a different perspective. I was calmer, but it did not change my uncertainty about some issues.I wa
Aimee’s POVMy head ached as I turned to the side. It felt like I had strained myself, but the only thing I did was a little practice. The memory of meeting the Moon goddess flashed in my head, making me snap my eyes open and sit up almost immediately.I regretted doing that because it felt as though my brain had moved. I brought my hand to my head and almost immediately, the Oracle stepped into the room with a tray in hand. “You’re awake,” she said as she took position beside the bed“How do you feel?” she added“My head hurts,” I informed herShe nodded in understanding. “It’s normal. Here” she picked up a glass from the tray she held and passed it to meI glanced from her to the glass before taking it. The contents looked juice like but the smell, “Ugh” I squeezed my face as I brought it closer to my nose and threw my face to the sideThe Oracle chuckled. “It has to smell like that to work, child”“Can’t I get some painkillers instead of… this?” I asked her and she shook her headI
Lucien’s POVThe moment I set my eyes on her after so long, Shadow and I could not contain ourselves. It had been weeks since we saw her. I was almost losing my cool when the Oracle informed us of her being ready to come back home.It was everything and I was happy about this. I wanted to come then and there to take her but the Oracle informed us that it had to be today. Throughout the night I could not sleep. Each time I shut my eyes, I saw her smiling at me with the warmest smile she had.It made it difficult for me to relax. The moment it clocked dawn, I flew out of my bed and into the bathroom where I had taken my bath and rushed out to meet my mate after so long. Once I was done dressing, I stood in the mirror for some time trying to practice how to smile at her.Reine had been teaching me with Alec, but it was tough. Some of my smiles seemed as though I was forcing it and not true. I did not want to smile at her and she felt as though I was only pretending to her when genuinely
Aimee’s POV“Wake up, sleepyhead,” I heard Reine’s voice say, making me groan in frustrationI turned to the other side as I muttered, “A few more minutes”I heard her chuckle. “Should I call Lucien here? I’m sure he can easily get you out of bed,” she joked, and I fluttered my eyes open and then turned my head to the other side“What? Is a girl not meant to sleep anymore?” I sounded frustrated“You need to check out your dress. The designers are already lined up”My eyes widened and the sleep that I had almost a few minutes ago disappeared. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I threw the covers to the side and jumped out of bed, putting my legs into my slippers and hurriedly heading for the bathroom“Well, I just told you now,” Reine said before I shut the doorI quickly took my bath and did my daily routine before stepping out fully dressed. Reine was still there, a book in hand, waiting for me to arrive. “Let’s go,” I told her, already heading for the door“Fine, lover girl. You didn’t want
Aimee’s POVI looked around the room with smiles, wines, dancing and laughter scattered around. It warmed my heart seeing all this happening before me. I wanted to keep this in my heart till the end of my days. I thought I would be upset that I would be getting married to Lucien but it was the best feeling ever.My gaze went to him as he stood speaking to some of the elders. He was so handsome I never thought I would be staring at him so lustfully. “You seem to be thinking what I am thinking” his voice echoed at the back of my mind bringing me out of my thoughtsI was thinking about him so much I did not know when he left the gathering he was with and walked over to me. When he realized that I had noticed him before me, he gave me his hand which I took and he helped me stand.We exited the hall leaving the guests to enjoy themselves. Then he led me to his room and shut the door behind us. He moved quickly towards me, grabbed me by my waist, pulled me closer, locking eyes with me then
Cassandra's POVI sat at the garden, twirling my glass of wine as I glared at the leaves in front of me. I was barely able to contain the anger boiling inside of me. I was more than upset and all I wanted to do was vent it out. Unfortunately, I had no one to vent it out to.Lucien who was my bedrock and the only person I ever loved was gone. He was married to his white wolf. Worse, they consummated their marriage not long after the reception. To add to it, I had to listen to every detail of them doing it in their rooms.Not like they forced me to but I wanted to know if truly Lucien had left me for a lowly wolf. She was nothing but a human before he found out she was the white wolf. I thought maybe the wedding was only a formality, an act in the eyes of the entire pack but I was mistaken. Lucien left me for her. An ugly bitch! I sneered, emptying my glass of wine in my mouth. “Cassandra” I heard Lucien's angry voice call to meI expected him to do this. He must have smelled me a mile
