AIMEE’S POVMy name is Aimee Garcia and for the longest time, I have been all alone, I have no family and I witnessed my parents being murdered when I was just three years old. I moved between foster homes and several families but I never felt like I belonged with any of them. Despite my unfortunate childhood, I centered my life and goals on attending college, trying to get a degree so I could get a good job and build a better life for myself. I pride myself as a smart young woman and I only believe in factual, logical happenings in the world. I believed there would always be an explanation for everything and I never believed that supernatural beings and creatures from other dimensions existed. All these and more made me an average human being and in my 21 years of existence nothing strange happened to me to change my beliefs and that continued to be the case until I met HIM; I still remember it like it happened yesterday.It was a Monday morning and I dashed across the hallway in an
As I locked eyes with the mystery man, the rest of the world seemed to fade away. I forgot where I was and all the steps that had brought me to that exact moment, but somehow I knew like a spiritual being was telling me, I felt it in the depths of my soul that this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I took in his features, he was a tall man about 6”5, his muscles were very defined in the tailored tuxedo he was wearing, he had a chiseled jawline, and his mouth was set tight like he was trying not to give any sense of emotion away. His hair was pitch black and it was set in a rough style that only the most handsome of men could pull off. The pupils of his eyes were pure black and his stare had a piercing sincerity to it. He looked very dominant and he gave off the aura and charisma of a real man.I looked into his eyes and found it so alluring the way he was staring right back into mine. Neither of us said anything, but I was sure that whatever this sudden rush o
I woke up feeling as confused as ever. I had finally seen what the creature from my dreams looked like, I was very sure that it was a wolf I saw but still, I had no idea what it all meant. I remembered that Reine had left so abruptly the previous day and I couldn’t help but feel a sudden pang of loneliness that my only friend had abandoned me.I did not dwell in the sad feelings and quickly took a shower to freshen up for the day then I headed to college and decided to be productive for the rest of the day but a part of me remained anxious to hear from Reine and have all the strange events explained. As I attended my classes and saw to my tasks for the day, I found myself often distracted by a whirlwind of thoughts, I was still expectant to hear from my friend but I had to admit to myself that it was another thought that was at the forefront of my mind; the image of the man I had met the day before. My brief but intense meeting with Lucien was not like anything I had ever experienced
Isaac and I drove a couple of miles away from the city, I had maintained my curiosity and hadn’t asked him any questions, but as I saw that he continued to drive further and further into the woods and away from civilization, I could not contain it any longer and I had to ask. “Where are we going?” He gave me a comforting grin and said, "I know this must all seem odd to you, but I assure you, there is nothing to be scared of, you are going to be alright." I remained curious, but something about Isaac's attitude put me at ease. Maybe it was the sincerity in his eyes or the air of authority that surrounded him. But whatever it was, I found myself nodding hesitantly.We continued to drive a little further into the woods, but then we got to a point and Isaac said we would have to continue our journey on foot. He led me through the woods, weaving through the narrow paths with a practiced ease and after some minutes of walking, we arrived at a strange structure in the middle of nowhere. It l
Aimee's POVThe car drove into the premises of the castle that stood in pride before me. There was a huge water fountain at the far right side of the compound. It looked neat and well-kept. There were a lot of people standing at various points in the compound and I could only guess that they were…“Guards, mostly warriors” my thoughts were interrupted by a man I had never met“Good day, Mi lady” he greeted me the moment I turned to him. “I’m Alec. I’ll be your tour guide until Princess Reine is ready to see you”I stared at him for a good number of seconds. He was so close to being as tall as Lucien. His brown hair and green eyes fit him quite well. Reluctantly, I forced a smile. It was like I had not trusted someone to bring me here. And now I am here. However, the aura he gave up was that of authority but it was also calm.He gestured for me to start the walk up the stairs that would lead us into the castle building. Before stepping on the stairs, I glanced at the two gigantic statu
Lucien’s POVI was dumbfounded at the sight before me. It seemed almost like a dream but I knew it certainly was not a dream. I was awake and conscious to know that this was real. Aimee was not only levitating but she was glowing like the moon.I wanted to believe that she was doing this on purpose but then her eyes were closed. In fact, she was fast asleep. She certainly did not know what was happening to her body. What exactly was going on and who was this mate of mine? A lot of questions came into mind but I was finding it difficult to get any substantive answers.Before I could get into the negative, I remembered something vital. “The white wolf is not an ordinary wolf. She glows like the moon in the night and her powers are unmeasurable” I remembered the prophecy many years agoFor years I had gone in search of this white wolf to save my people. The white wolf was the only vantage point to destroy the dark forces and stop them from causing any form of trouble. Most especially, on
Lucien’s POVThe moment those words left Reine's lips, I felt different. My body shook, and I felt a sharp pang of a headache. My heartbeat accelerated, and my eyes began to spin. I knew what was happening. It needed to be stopped.Up till this moment, I was able to keep Shadow on a leash. There were a lot of things involved in being a wolf. One thing was for sure needed if they were to survive being a wolf and that was control. Wolves turn to rogues because they tend to lose this control they have over their wolves.Instead, their wolves control them. Usually, wolves have this sudden taste to kill anyone, especially humans and sometimes even our kind. With control, this can be curbed although was not usually a simple thing to do.Worse, if you are blessed with extraordinary powers. It can go haywire without control. From a young age, I had to be trained on how to control my wolf. Shadow was the strongest wolf in the entire pack. Having such a title was scary but also a privilege. Wi
Lucien’s POVEveryone that came with me stopped and stared at my mate that was before every one of us in the forest. There was no weapon in her hand and she looked confused. She looked at the dead people around her; her supposed kidnappers.Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn all over with some flesh showing. She glanced at me as I approached her in the middle of the dead bodies of her kidnappers. They were cut up so badly that some of their internals were out in the open.Staring at my mate, both I and Shadow were relieved. I had not gone close to her since the imprint and had even considered rejecting her, but with each step towards her I felt a strange way. When I got to her, I gave her my hand and she looked around the dead men around her again somewhat scared, glanced at the others behind me, then back to me and my hand.Reluctantly, she took my hand and stood to her feet. I smiled, but it was not up to a minute that I saw her eyes weaken and drain before it shut c
