I did not bother with my lunch even when Brianna repeatedly begged me to have something to eat." I am in no mood to eat and don't feel hungry." I said again. I don't know for how long I have been saying this line to the stubborn woman." The King will not be pleased to hear you haven't eaten anything." Brianna Said but I ignored her.I doubt he would even care whether I starve to death or live.For some reason, I feel bitterness clouding every nerve of my being. I Know I am being difficult but I have this nagging and unsettling feeling that makes me uncomfortable.Tired of nagging me to eat, Brianna left by chambers and I was thankful for that because staying locked up here with someone trailing behind me isn't something by foul mood appreciated.I tiptoed to the window and opened it. I peered down as I planned how to sneak out of this place.I wanted to be alone in a quiet place listening to the sounds of nature. That has always been a therapy anytime I felt distressed.I jumped thr
Gideon POVI left my mate's chamber after Leo interrupted our conversation. After getting tired of waiting for my mate to feel our bond, I became impatient and decided to ask her about her wolf. She was reluctant at first, more like scared to tell me but since I already approached the topic, I might as well push until she tells me about it.I could tell that she was uncomfortable with the topic but I really wanted to know what happened to her wolf since I could not sense her at all. Danger has tried connecting with her but comes out with nothing. It's like she doesn't have a wolf.But that's impossible, how can she not have a wolf when she said that she shifted on her eighteenth birthday and even recognized that bastard as her mate?Something must have gone wrong in between her birthday and the auction day and I was adamant to find out.I would never reject her because she doesn't have a wolf, I just wanted to understand what approach I will have to use to tell her that we are mates.
I took two strides, covering the distance between us, ripping my mate and holding her securely in my embrace. I glared at Albanus, baring my fangs at him.He was fishing on dangerous waters and if he continued keeping a close distance with my mate, he was really going to get it from me.All this while, the idiot was actually smiling at me, unfazed." Keep your distance from my woman Albanus, I won't repeat this a third time." I warned him.I didn't approve of any male species around my mate, leave alone my biggest enemy Albanus Volkov.He's a Mafia and although he runs his organisation in the human world, he likes visiting the kingdom from time to time. He's a member of my Kingdom and I could do nothing to change that although we hated each other's guts." Your woman?" He asked, cocking his brows at me. His words were sarcastic and I could tell where this was heading." When did the mighty Gideon have a favourite woman? I thought she's been one of your big harem over the years?" He wa
I pushed Gideon away. His words sounded unbelievable. Even a fool would not buy such a flimsy excuse. Why would he lie to me? And that over something so sensitive? Did he do all this to get into my skirt? But he didn't need to do that because mate or not,at this point I knew I could not stop myself from craving for him.He was like a drug I wanted so badly to cure my sexual tension. His presence affected me in ways even Logan never did. His touch aroused my deepest desires and all I could think of was riding his cock like a crazy bitch. Yes, that is what he makes me. A crazy bitch.Gideon's absence in my life was something I dreaded. It made me feel uncomfortable. I just want to stick to him like a pest and pester him to make love to me. I have been holding myself back, afraid that acting on my desires would hurt his mate.I Know how painful it is when your mate cheats on you. The pain is unbearable, it feels like a thousand ants gnawing on your skin.Logan used to make sure I feel th
If my Wolf didn't say we weren't fated together and that we could trust him, I could trust her and him." I don't want you to feel pressured by anything Maya. I want you to accept us as your mate willingly. My wolf is excited to have you and your Wolf." Gideon was smiling down at me as he said that making me blush." Actually, Scar just started talking to me yesterday." I announced, hoping Gideon will be happy to hear the news." Really? But I tried calling her yesterday but she didn't respond to me?" Gideon asked, puzzled." She said she was weak and trying to heal herself from our last torture." I answered gloomily. The torture we got from our mate and his Beta made my Wolf retreat to the back of my mind.The wolfsbane injected into our system dealt a blow to her.My answer immediately made Gideon mad and his face darkened." How dare they cause harm to you?" He roared, making me smile." What's funny? Why are you smiling?" Gideon asked me, looking down at me with confusion." You
" As my mate, always remember that nobody is above you in this Kingdom Maya. You should always walk with your head held up high. Nobody should ever try to intimidate you." Gideon said with all seriousness and I just nodded." I'll deal with that Strongholm daughter. She will never bother you ever again as you live in this kingdom." He added.I didn't have anything to say or rather what I wanted to ask would not be answered so I could only nod to his words.I wanted to know the deal between Gideon and the Strongholm family. My gut feeling tells me there's more than what others want to let me know and I swear I'll find out one way or another.We went to bed afterwards. Gideon accompanied me for the night after making me promise to go back to his room the following day.Now that there's a possibility that we can be mates, I agreed immediately.Even if we didn't have a connection, I would agree to his request. The last few nights I spent alone in my bed confirmed that I was already addict
Gideon POVI finally did it. Although that wasn't my initial plan,I could not bear to see her mad at me, more like I could not handle her rejection.Seeing her with Albanus had me lose my cool. Albanus hates me and he would stop at nothing to have my mate hate me. At one point in life, we were friends until Avery came into our lives.Albanus was interested in Avery but she ruthlessly turned him down and chose me instead and that's when the guy broke off our friendship. He accused me of getting in between the two of them and ruining his chances.I didn't know that he was interested in her until I had already slept with Avery.She took our relationship seriously even after I told her that I could not give her what she wanted. If I knew Albanus was interested in her, I would never have slept with her. It was too late for me to regret it because I lost my best friend.He hated me to the core to make sure to compete with me for everything I owned. He thought I didn't know that he would se
Logan POVDreams of my mate plague my mind every night in my sleep. I can't get over her beautiful slim frame and emerald green eyes. Her cries of pain give me nightmares and memories of how I had her tortured raise goosebumps on me.I want her.It wasn't until I lost her that I realised that I needed Maya in my life just as I needed air to breath.My relationship with Regina has been going down the drain.I have been reduced to nothing but a drunkard, turning myself to the shadow of my former self.Her rejection had caused me pain, caused all the pack members pain but that would never be comparable to the pain we gave her here.I don't see face to face with my beta for what he did to her. Maya was my mate and he had no right to carve those words on her back and inject wolfsbane to her.I Know I sound pretentious right now owing to the fact even I enjoyed torturing and giving her pain.I thought it was fun and it would keep her in her place so that she can be the obedient little mate
