The doctor checked on me and it was confirmed that nothing went wrong with me.The doctor finally allowed me to go back to the house. Gideon personally carried me back to the house princess style.The people watched us, making me conscious of our current situation." I am fine now,you can put me down." I complained to only have Gideon cock his brows at me." People are watching and are likely to have a wrong understanding about our relationship." I tried to reason with him to only have him ignore me." Your highness!" I cried hoping that he could at least listen to me. He might not have a problem, but I was embarrassed. Not to mention he has a mate now, it would be unpleasant to have her see him carrying me so intimately." It's Gideon werewolf girl,I won't repeat that again." He corrected,his voice was not harsh, on the contrary, it held a teasing hint.His answer made me roll my eyes at him. Was that the important point here? I needed him to put me down since I didn't want people to
I took less than five minutes to get ready. I took a shower at an impossible speed, wore the clothes Gideon prepared for me.I note fell down from within the clothes and I bend down to pick it." Good luck milady." Smiling to myself, I kissed the note before sprinting away and making my way to the training ground.I found the warriors already training. I approached Samantha who was now different from the jovial Samantha I Know about. She was looking like a badass from an action movie with those joggers and training wear." Twenty laps young Lady before you join in the training." Samantha ordered and I groaned inwardly, with a smile on my face.Twenty laps in that enormous field? Was she trying to kill me? But I wasn't going to complain. I needed the challenge, needed something to stop me from overthinking things.I started running. The field was enormous and completing twenty laps was going to be one hell of a ride.Ten laps to the run and I was on the verge of collapsing. My lungs f
I spent the whole day thinking about what Samantha told me.I should live in the moment and keep my worries for another day? The thought sounded pleasant and after much contemplation,I decided to try her proposal. I could see thatGideon wants me from the frequent kisses he has been stealing from me. I could tell he desired me and truth be told, I wasn't any different. I wanted him as much as he wanted me. I could feel my body reacting to his touch and I once caught scar purring to our contact. That meant that my wolf liked Gideon's touch as much as my body did.Since we both desired each other, why then fight the mutual attraction between us?I Know that I was making a decision I would entirely regret in the future, especially when Gideon's mate finally feels the mating bond. We live once in this life so I decided to throw caution to the wind and embrace my fate. If I was destined to be broken by the Lycan King, then I accept my fate.I showered early, making sure to apply a little
We have been looking into the matter about someone using dark magic in the kingdom. Dark magic is known to corrupt the host, making him do evil things. That's why it was banned in the kingdom ever since my stepmother died.In the past, the kings in the Lycan kingdoms used dark magic to create Shadow warriors whom they would use to conquer the world with. A shadow warrior would remain faithful to the person who gave it a name and serve it. They are powerful and use dark magic.A Shadow warrior takes everything after its master since they have a connection. It can either be good or bad depending on the nature of its master.Honestly, I never for once believed that a shadow warrior could have any goodness in it since they are created by their masters out of greed to conquer more so how can a greedy person who disregards human life be any good? Talk less of creating a good shadow warrior?The Strongholm family is our main suspect for the attack. Of course, there's a possibility that it w
Maya POVIt's been a week and Gideon has not come back to his room again. He takes time to accompany me for meals of course, there's a possibility he doesn't come to the table because of me.Every morning after training, Samantha and I head to the dining table and later Leo and Gideon join us.Samantha and Leo have been trying their best to strike a conversation but Gideon rarely says anything. If asked a question, he would either hum or simply nod.I have been having a hard time controlling my tears in front of him.Ever since I pushed him away when he was about to mark me, he started avoiding me. The person who had warmed my rather cold heart at the end of the day kept his distance from me.At the end of it all,I confirmed that I was unlovable. What hurt the most was the fact that he never for once thought of informing me why he was avoiding me all of a sudden.A punch landed on my face making me land on the ground with a thud.I lifted my face to see everybody in the training groun
Gideon POVAs much as I want to embrace my mate everytime I see her sad, I can't do it. I am afraid that my body and feelings will betray me and I will end up telling her that she's my mate and that I want her so badly that it is hurting.I no longer know if my decision of staying away was a good one or a punishment to myself and her.I don't miss joining them for breakfast so that I can get a glimpse of her beautiful face, the same face that has been haunting me at night for the past few days.I had grown so used to sleeping beside her that I was no longer able to sleep at night.The only thing occupying my mind is my mate.I am pretty sure that if I didn't get to at least see her twice a day, I would have gone nuts at this point. She's the only thing keeping my sanity together.There's not a moment I have not thought about going back to her and confessing everything to her but each time,I manage to hold back myself.My Beta Leo has been pressing me to tell him what happened between
Maya POVThe moment my eyes locked with his, my heart raced. Something about this man had me hooked up. I could not tell exactly what.He said nothing, just regarded me with calm eyes. I fought myself not to say a word. What would I say? Question him why he has been avoiding me or ask him if he went to see his mate when he didn't come to his room.I watched as Gideon walked to me before engulfing me in a tight hug. He rested his head on the crook of my neck as he breathed in my scent.It felt great to be in his arms. I could feel all the pressure that had been choking me being lifted.Y wolf scar purred in my head and I stiffened."Scar, are you there?" I called out to her mentally. It's been almost a month since she ghosted me, rendering me lonely.She didn't reply to my call and that annoyed me.She was obviously there but didn't want to talk to me when I needed her most?How could I have such a selfish wolf, only coming up when she wants and abandons me when I need her." Why did y
When evening came, I decided to take a stroll and breathe in some fresh air. Samantha was delegated to attend a meeting at the fae kingdom and as much as I begged to accompany her, she said that she could not take me with her.With the rogues lurking around and on hunt for any females, she said I was better off in the castle where I could be protected.Although I was getting better in my training and I could take down two or three female Lycans, I was far from being able to defend myself if attacked. I did not press on the matter and decided to head to the west wing of the castle.The place was filled with flowers planted in gardens. I inhaled the sweet scent of the flowers as I let the evening breeze caress my skin.I couldn't help but let out a contented sigh. " Feels so good to be free." I murmured to myself only to hear someone chuckle behind me.I turned to look at the person and I saw it was Naver,the royal physician." Who would have thought that the king's Muse is fond of nat
