Damian povI turned her around, keeping my hands on my shoulders, being so close to her always reminded me how tiny she really was. I pulled her backwards a little so her back was leaning against my chest, “if you don’t want to learn about arrows? Is there another defensive skill you want to learn?”“I just want to know why I’m doing any of this,” her small voice called out in what was almost a whisper. No one except from her would dare to demand an explanation from me, and no one but her would receive one. “You’re not just any ordinary wolf,” I told her, “you have something that’s been extinct for a long time. You are a healer.”“What?!” I couldn’t see her face but I could imagine her confused expression. “Healers have been extinct for years, it’s a blessing and a curse and every pack would want to have you for themselves, news spread, hence, the need to train to protect yourself.” She turned around to face me, “how am I a healer?”I ran my fingers through her hair, being this clos
Kira I kept my head bowed as we walked to his room, worried that I would be seen. I was still in deep thought by what he said but I didn’t care. He invited me into his room and all I knew this was a chance for me to be close to him again. He didn’t seem to care. The palace guards and a few servants were the only ones we came across making me realize it was still early. But the servants were the fastest way that gossip spread in the palace. Alpha’s room felt like a trip but we made it in. He locked the door behind us and started to undress, I immediately turned my head around widening my eyes, “wh- what are you doing?” “I have to get ready for my meetings, so I’m getting dressed before my men show up here. “Oh,” I swallowed hard not wanting to imagine that he was naked beyond me right now. “Why did you want me to come into your room?” I gasped as he pressed his chest against my back and wrapped his arms around me. "Why did you come with me?"“Because, because I'm-“ I couldn’t put
Although I had hoped that it wouldn't come but the king stirred, "I have to leave now, my entourage will be here soon and I'm going to be later if I don't leave now."His eyes scanned my body, "it's hard to resist you, I could spend the entire day fucking you."I tried so hard to hold the blush in as he got to his feet to prepare for his meeting.I did the same, adjusted my hair and slipped my clothes back on.He needed to change into his official robes and so I had to leave before anyone showed up.I was barely out of the room when I jumped into Natalie.I hadn't thought about having to deal with her."So you really are back? I thought they were nothing but rumors." She folded her arms across her chest. I told you to stay out of the Palace," she lowered her voice as though she was expecting someone to be listening in on our conversation.I bowed my head at her to keep my respect."I left like you said, and you said you would handle it, but I don't think you did good job otherwise the
I stared at him in disbelief, there was no way he just asked that."I-- I'll have to think about it beta," I said in a hushed voice."Don't take too long, you need to make your mind up so I can handle preparations," he said, I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me to it, "I have a meeting to tend to, I'll see you tonight, make up your mind by then." He took his leave. I watched until he was gone from sight before I realised I had been holding my breath in.He was confusing. Before I left the palace, we barely had any interactions and I saw his much he respected the alpha, it confused me, his current behaviour.I was making my way back to my bedroom when I saw a flood of entourage heading in the opposite direction. I bowed my head knowing that it meant a higher ranking wolf was coming."Kira!" I heard Melissa's voice.I lifted my head, almost mesmerized by her beautiful silk red gown that overflowed by her side."Where on earth have you been?" She beamed, inching closer to me and wrapp
"Alright then," he said. "I'll be done with my meeting in a few minutes. You should come and wait for me in the garden, I’ll get to you soon." I nodded, as if he could see me, and went back to the garden where I was before."Seriously, after this morning, you're still acting like this," Mel suddenly spoke to me."Oh, so now you want to talk?" I frowned. "Well, maybe after this morning, he shouldn't be asking a woman out to the ball.” The king was meant to have so many concubines and his mate. But I just wanted all the attention to myself, I didn't care how selfish it was.Beta came to join me in the garden. He had his hair combed, wearing a black tank top and gray shorts. He had changed into casual clothes, and now that he was up close, he seemed a lot more attractive than I was used to. I didn't know if it was because I was self-conscious about going to the ball with him, but he really looked hot right now.I bowed in acknowledgment of his presence and looked up at him. "So what do y
Everyone's eyes immediately scanned me as we walked in. I wondered if I looked terrible and my anxiety immediately skyrocketed feeling like I shouldn't be here.Beta seemed to notice because he held my hand tighter leading me into the ballroom.The walls were decorated with shimmering gold from floors to ceiling. The chandeliers hanging were engraved in all sorts of diamonds and golden rims."I really don't think I fit in here." I whispered to beta as he led us to the dance floor.Everyone looked like a high rank wolf, and their clothes were made out of the finest silk I'd ever seen."You look better than everyone here combined trust me," he chuckled."Then why are they all staring like I'm some disease?" I whispered back."It's because you look so beautiful, they possibly can't comprehend, you always hide your potential in the clothes you wear."Our observation was cut off by the band suddenly playing their strings instruments.Beta held his hand out to me, "May I?""Certainly," I bow
I wasn't sure I could maintain my composure but I went back to the ball room knowing that I wouldn't cry if there were many people present .I found beta standing alone while others were still indulged in the dance and when his eyes met mine I immediately broke into a smile. “is everything okay?” He asked raising one eyebrow. I nodded positively, “yes.” He took my hand and resumed slow dancing, “Are you sure?” “Yes,” I just wanted to move past it and not talk about it. There was silence between us at first and then he flipped me around pausing my dance movements, “you don't look like you're okay, if anything is up tell me.” I wanted to keep lying to him and say I was OK but the minute I opened my mouth to speak tears began to fall from my eyes. I could feel this internal panic as he immediately put his hand on my back, leading me out of the ballroom quietly. Once we were outside I buried my face in my arms feeling embarrassed, “I am so sorry.” He held my shoulder and tried to
I blinked at him in confusion, unsure of what I just heard."What do you mean?""I know you can't feel it because you are still healing from your bond with the king but the moment you broke your pact with the king, I instantly felt it and I know I might seem like I'm overstepping my boundaries but it's just what happened," he moved closer to me, holding my hand, "I can't help the protective instinct I have over you, so tell me, what did the king do to you?"I needed time to process what he just said but I didn't want to be awkward about anything. "I know you're upset right now but the last thing I want is for this to further escalate, I don't think you're in any position to question the king," I sighed, "let's just head back in there and finish the ball.""Or," he suddenly held my wrist to stop any movements, "we could go on and hang out somewhere else, something to cheer you up, you look too good tonight to be crying over something that's probably not worth it.""Thanks beta," I force
