I watched the woman laying on my arms, sleeping peacefully. She is beautiful, even in her sleep." She is ours." My wolf reminded me." She is danger, and nobody is taking her away from us." I concurred.They will have to kill me first before taking Maya away.I smiled, thinking of what we just did.She is perfect in everything and I wanted her.I stopped myself from taking her, although it was hard.With everything happening, I decided to take my time.I want to marry her and make her my Queen.I Know the road before us I'd hard and difficult, but I will have to do anything to clear all obstacles in our way.Avery and the Strongholm family are my biggest threats and until they are eliminated, I will never be happy with Maya.I don't know how she will react when she hears that I agreed to make Adina my Queen.It's a ploy to fool everyone but I am still worried if Maya will understand me.The last thing I want is my mate feeling like I have betrayed her, I can't handle seeing her in pa
I was at the cabin in no time. I twisted the doorknob, pushing the door open.Maya's sweet and intoxicating scent assaulted my nose. I took a deep breath, her scent calming my nerves.My deep blue crystals fell on her pristine and we'll proportioned body.She was standing in front of the mirror at the dressing table.She was covered with a white silk robe.Her hair was still dripping wet making it stick on her face and neck. Water droplets travelled down, disappearing into the robe.I swallowed hard and my wolf, danger, stirred at the back of my mind.I strode to her, pushing away the wet locks from her neck before nestling my head at the crook of her neck.My eyes met hers in the mirror." I missed you." I murmured into her ears in a low voice only meant for her.I watched as her lips curved into a sweet smile." It's been hours since I woke up to an empty bed." She replied, pouting cutely.My hands snaked her waist, pulling her close to my body." I missed you too." She breathed out
Maya POVThe following days have been peaceful. Gideon accompanies me every chance he gets. He's busy, as the King of such a big Kingdom, he is bound to be occupied.Brianna spends her days with me together with two other guards Gideon prepared for me.I tried convincing him that I did not need any guards but he's adamant about it so I let it slide.I can understand his fears though. With dark magic resurfacing again, everybody was in danger, not only me.Brianna has been acting cautious around me. She counts her words anytime we are chatting. I guess chatting isn't the right word anymore because I do almost all the talking.I can tell she is hiding something from me.It's not in my position to force her to spill her secrets so I just ignore it. But why do I feel like whatever she's hiding has something to do with me?Since I can't go training with the rest of the warriors, we train with Brianna.Samantha sometimes comes around and trains with me.I feel much stronger nowadays." And
Third person POVStaying in the Lycan kingdom has been boring like shit.What was father thinking? That he can force me to do what I don't want? Then he must be dreaming.I have made sure to frustrate the gamma and he of course has been avoiding me.No more stupid training and that means I can have all the freedom I want.My thoughts drifted to my father. I Know I am being overly rebellious but I don't plan on stopping The day he chose to ignore my feelings and not help my Lola was the day he lost me as his son.My Lola.How I miss her.Lola and I have been friends since she was five years old.Our friendship lasted more than a decade until she was taken away from me.The Dark Lord. The person who led the raid in Lola's pack, killing the Alpha and Luna.I don't believe Lola died that fateful night because her body was never found.I have tried searching for her everywhere but my search bore no fruits.I was lost in thoughts, when my eyes caught a figure walking in the opposite direct
Gideon POV" What is going on here?" I asked, my eyes landing on my mate who was weeping but made no sound.She was walking away, stumbling on her way. I could tell that something hurt her from the intense pain reflected in her forest green eyes.My heart clenched and I felt a pang of pain hit it, making me frown.It was so painful and I fought the urge to clutch my chest.I guess those were my mate's emotions hitting me through the bond.I am able to feel Maya's emotions but she can't feel my own since her wolf is yet to recognize the bond between us.My mate walked away while I watched.I wanted to follow her but first, I needed to understand why she was sad and hurt." Brianna, I am asking you a question!" My voice had restrained anger. I hate it when I ask a question and nobody seems to pay attention." I was looking for Lady Maya when I found here with Adina. She was crying from something Adina told her." Brianna honestly replied.Being close to my mate, she knows who to address
Third person POVI watched as the lady cried, her shoulders trembling. I felt my heart stab with pain. I approached her, something in me nagging me to console her but before I could reach her, she collapsed.I rushed to her, observing her to only realize that she fell unconscious.I brushed the strands of her hair framing her beautiful oval face and that's when I got to shock of my life." Lola!" I breathed out in disbelief.It's my Lola.I lifted her in my arms, cuddling her body with my own.I felt rage consume me, rage because someone hurt my Lola.The happiness of finding her was shadowed with anger.I rocked her in my arms, promising her that I'll protect her.I will protect her from all the people hurting her.Now that I finally found her, I will not allow anybody to take her away from me.I heard a loud growl tear through the forest but my attention was channeled to the woman in my arms. I did not bother to look who was growling and why he was doing it.He could growl all day l
I was fuming mad as I made my way to my room. I needed to see Lola. Seeing her beautiful face would calm my wolf who was just as pissed off as I was.How could father ask me to let go of the woman whose absence in my life broke me?I could tell that Lola was not having a good life in the Lycan Kingdom. I would be stupid to allow her to be taken away from me.I twisted the doorknob and Lola's sweet and intoxicating scent caressed my nose, making me calm down immediately.The pack healer was done examining her and I could see he was waiting for me." How is she?" I asked, moving to sit next to Lola." Nothing to be worried about. She's just exhausted from over exerting herself. She will be fine after resting." He informed me and I dismissed him.I took Lola's hand, kissing her knuckles." I will not allow any harm to befall you from today onwards. I will always be your knight in shining armour." I uttered before resting my head at the headboard.Maya POVMy eyes felt groggy as I tried t
I shifted to my beast, running wildly in the woods. How could the moon Goddess be so cruel?Meeting Maya and finding out that she's my mate had to be the most wonderful thing that happened to me.But with her childhood sweetheart coming into her life at this point got me scared.She is broken, especially after what that woman told her.I am afraid she hates me now and would want to stay away from me.I bet she will be thinking that I played with her feelings. She can't recognize the mating bond between us. At Least if the pull was there, it would have given her a reason to stick with me even at this time.I know I am being selfish but I Just can't lose my mate.My sweet Maya. She's my life, my Love, my everything.After hours of roaming the woods, I finally headed back to the castle.I felt better.I would need to have a lengthy talk with my mate.I have to explain to her why I did what I did; the reason behind my engagement with Adina.She has to understand that I did everything for
