Anotheer's POV
I should have killed that girl along with her mother, but I just couldn't. When I think back to that night. I remember her scent. It was something not of this world. I had my suspicions before I had tore my hand from her mother's chest and dropped her still heart. It was quick, but there was a flash of what she truly was.I feel some concern knowing that I left her - Davyna - alive, but she could be of so much use to me for what I am planning. I'm interrupted of my inner musings by a servant of mine."My Lord." He bows and waits for me to allow him to continue. I wave my hand and he stands."The girl has been reported to have just arrived at the council's compound with her father.""Good. Tell the scouts I'll want eyes on her as much as possible. I need to be kept updated on her condition and life while she's there.""Yes, my lord. Right away." He turns and leaves. I go back into thought. If Davyna is what I think she is, the council is goinDavyna's POVWhew. That was a lot. I think I only really took in the first half hour of that tour and tuned out after.. but at least I know where the compound gym is at least. I'm back in my suite now, having said goodbye to Dad as he had to get caught up with the council and current affairs.After plugging my phone in to charge a bit, I sit down and take a look at that list of jobs Kraven dropped off earlier this morning. I go down the list for the compound, lightly skimming the job titles."Kitchen Assistant, Yard Maintenance, Assistant Maid... does no one like to do physical labour around here?" I sigh and move on to the list for the city. Something catches my eye. "Entertainment Supervisor for the local nightclub? That's more like it." I highlight it and decide to ask Kraven about it later.I take a look at my phone, 7:30pm."I guess I should get a workout in." I get up and grab my workout gear and get changed. I pack a towel and grab my water bottle and
Davyna's POVThe Next Day...I wake up to my phone ringing. Still half asleep, I reach over and answer sister from her abusive father,"Hello?" My voice cracks. Lovely. Alpha Kane"Davyna? It's Kraven. I got your number from your Dad as I was unable to make it in person this morning" I clear my throat. "That's alright, Kraven. What do you need to tell me?""That's not really necessary Kraven, but I appreciate it.Thank you""Not a problem, Davyna. Transport has been aranged for you today atlpm, Marcella will meet you out front of the compound." Il yawn loudly."Sorry, Kraven. I'll be there. Thanks again.""My pleasure, Davyna. Talk to you later." Click. I check the time on my phone and my eyes go wide. Only an hour until have to be out front."Shit I gotta get ready." I pretty much throw myself into the shower, wash quickly, rush out and throw on some fitted sweats, sneakers, and a tank top. I dry my hair and braid it so it's out of my fa
Vincent's POV"What are you talking about Caleb?" I look at my good werewolf friend sitting on my bed in my suite with his head in his hands as he's trying to explain to me that he saw his mate, but wasn't 100% sure it was her."Why didn't you approach her? f you had eye contact, she would havefelt the same thing you did and wouldn't have walked away so easily" I take a sip of my blood. Caleb then stands up, towering Over me as usual. Damn werewolf Alpha genes. I'm tall myself for a vampire but Caleb always looks massive and menacing when he is standing at full height."It was so strange Vincent. I wasn't sure what to do."I swirl m blood in the glass and sigh. "Well no point in woryinsmuch about it currently. If you saw her at the gym, then she's staying at the compound. You're bound to run into her again eventually and can find out for sure then." I smack him on the back. "You're heading to Bloodhaven tonight right?" He nods. "Great, shall we go toge
Caleb's POV"t's her." I manage to say quietly, unsure if Vincent even heard me. As I get a good look at her as she walks behind Marcella, I'm even more sure.My wolf Kaius howls in my head. She has a small frame, but I notice now that she's definitely more athletic and fit then than I thought. No wonder her reps at the gym were like that. She has long jet black hair that falls past her hips, slightly curly. It's braided mostly away from her angelic face. Minimal makeup,but I don't care about that. I'm stunned on her outfit she's wearing but that's definitely Marcella's doing. I notice she looks slightly nervous but is trying hard not to show it. Why would she be nervous here?"Caleb?" Vincent looks at me, breaking my inner monologue. "Did you say something?" I put my hand up, "We can chat later, no biggie." My breath catches as she and Marcella come up to our table. They didn't lie when they say your mate can literally bring you to your knees. I'm already
Caleb's POVThose eyes. A beautiful grey. It was hard to look away after I helped her to her feet. Her answer to my question, floored me.share. "You're human?" l ask after Davyna states her father's title. She looks at me. "Is there a problem with that?" Shit. She sounds offended. Good job. "No, not at all, just surprised is all." Before she can say anything else,Vincent cuts in."We should get back to the compound and check you out Davyna. Makesure there isn't any damage done from Asher's little show of strength there. And I'm not going to take no for an answer. Unless you want me to report what happened here to the council." She goes to protest, but stops and sighs. "Fine.""Ill stay here and finish off the night and come check on you lateralright Davyna?" Marcella gives her a quick hug and heads back inside."Let's get back, I'll tell Ruka to bring the limo around." Vincent pulls his phone out. As he's talking to Ruka, I look ove
Caleb's POV"What the hell are you saying, Vincent? This better be a joke." I stare at him wide eyed. He looks back at me apologetically. "I'm sorry Caleb. It's not, When I first saw her I felt something and just shook it off. but when she shook my hand.."The Kids Aren't AlrightI remember back to earlier in the evening before all the bullshit with Asher went down. I did notice Vincent stiffen after he shook Davyna's hand. I put my hand to my head. I know Vincent wouldn't lie to me, especially about this considering he was the one who pulled me out of the dark hole that was my life after the incident. I trust him with my life."So what the fuck does this mean? Have you ever heard of two males having the same mate? Wait. two males from different SPECIES having the same HUMAN mate?" Vincent shakes his head, "No I've never heard of anything like this. But we're going to have to look into it. Discreetly. Considering what happened tonight, it's safe to say that
Davyna's POVIt's been a few weeks since that encounter with Asher. I haven't seen him around, so I've been focused on getting back into a routine to keep me sane. I can only assume that the threat from Caleb and Vincent sunk in and he's going to leave me alone.I've finally been able to work out everyday again, which is really helping me manage being here. I walk by supernatural constantly and I still can't believe that this is where l'm at right now. l visit Dad when I can, but he's usually pretty busy. We sometimes make breakfast or dinner plans when he's able but I've mainly just reverted to messaging and him chatting with him on the phone after he's back from his council duties.He doesn't tell me much about what's happening, but again I don'tthink I am supposed to know. I still don't talk to many people aside from Marcella. I still feel strangely uncomfortable around Vincent and Caleb, but they have been friendly to me regardless of how isolated I act around t
Davyna's POVI wake up to a loud knock on my door. I get up groggily and in my sleepy state I don't check who it is. I open the door and all of a sudden I'm engulfed in a huge hug."Davyna!" I know that voice. "Sage!" I push her away from me slightly and then pull her back in even tighter. "You're here early! l am so happy to see you!"Same! Your dad came and got me early as a surprise." I hear my door close and I see my Dad standing in front of it. I smile wide at him "You're sneaky. You said she wasn't coming until later!" He smiles back at me and puts Sage's bags down"Surprise, sweetheart." He says and I go and hug him tight. "Thanks Dad, this is great.""You're welcome, honey. I'll leave you girls to get caught up. Call me if you need me." He turns to leave but pauses. "Oh Davyna, I wanted to say that you should go to that party tonight. Meet some others around here. We've been here a month now, you know"Sage squeals, "A party?
