Still Dominic’s POVI sat on my seat in my office, waiting for my Beta and generals. I’m going to find out what Bethany has been hiding in her bag. Yes, I’m going to invade her privacy, but it’s a necessary evil, I just have to do it, it inevitableI’ve been putting it off for some time now, I guess I’m too scared to find out the truth, I don’t know what I’ll do if my suspicions turn out to be true, for her sake, I just hope she isn’t hiding anything too dangerous from me, it would break my heart if she betrays me, I would never be able to trust her again, I won’t even have the courage to look into her eyes anymore. I’m just praying that her rebellion hasn’t gone beyond redemption, I hope she hasn’t teamed up with enemies, that would only mean that she has lost all sense of reasoning and I’ll be forced to punish her for betraying me and my people.Dwayne was the first to walk into my office, followed by Carl and Harriet. With the frown on their faces, you could tell that they would ra
Still Dominic’s POV“What makes you think that she is hiding something in this room?” Carl asked as we headed up the stairs, going up to my room.“Well, for starters, I’ve seen her with weapons before, I got shot by her, remember?Graciela also mentioned something about a phone that she hides with her. I’ve seen it before, I’ve seen her checking through her secret phone, but I’ve never had time to go through it.” I told him truthfully. I was leading the way, taking him up to our room.“This is wrong man, this is so wrong. You could just ask her about it, I’m sure she would tell you the truth, she has changed since she came here, she isn’t the stubborn Bethany that listen to no one, let’s just ask her about it Dom, it’s way better than treating her like a common criminal.” He advises me, sounding unsure about what we are about to do.“Don’t you fucking back down now, you can’t suddenly grow a conscience, not on my watch Carl. Now get your ass up here, I don’t fucking have all day.” I t
Bethany’s POV“Stop whining and follow me to the gym Beth, I’ve been itching to kick your ass since you got here.” Harriet kept teasing me, pulling me along with her as we went to the gym.“I don’t want to fight you, Harriet, I don’t want to fight anyone.” I told her pointedly.“Then what do you want?”“What do you mean?” I asked.“You’ve been here for almost a week Beth, you’ve lived with this guy since you came here, are you telling me that you don’t feel anything for him?”“What!!!What are you even talking about, how did we move from talking about a training session at the gym to what I feel for Dom?” I asked her in alarm.“Well, they are related in a way you know. He did order me to train you, in his word, he said “I want you to make a warrior out of her. I want her to be able to defend herself, even in my absence.” Those were his very words, Beth, he truly cares about you. Mind you, I am not talking about the mating bond here, I’m talking about true love, Beth. Yes, you are bond
Still Bethany’s POVI feel dead inside, it felt like the earth was crumbling from underneath my feet and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.It hurts,It hurts so bad.I can literally feel my heart shattering into a million pieces as he walked out and banged the door so hard that the entire room shook and vibrated. Carl and Harriet rushed in immediately, Li could hear their voices as they checked my body for bruises, checking to know if I’m still alive.They were standing so close, calling out to me, but their voices felt so distant, it felt so far away. I felt like I was drowning in a deep pool, going deep under the water. People always say that getting drowned is not a good experience, but I love this feeling of nothingness, I welcomed the emptiness within me. This is better than being in his presence, feeling his anger and hatred and disgust. It felt like death, and I loved it. I can’t bear the pain and hurt that comes with thinking about his rejection, I can’t bear the
Dominic’s POV“Dwayne, Carl, I need every room searched right now, I want that fucking spy to be found before the end of the day, nobody makes a foul out of me, I mean nobody, not king Ashford, not his fucking spies.Am so fucking pissed, I’m seething in rage, I need someone to punch right now, I need someone to vent on. You better find those assholes or I swear, it will be your heads on the chopping board.” I threatened furiously, glaring dangerously at them. How on earth could I be living with Dominic’s spy, how long has he been hiding in this Castle?First, it was Marcus, now it’s someone else, how did they manage to deceive me for so long? I know I’ve been so distracted since I found out about Bethany, she is the only person that can make me lose every fucking control, it’s been her all along, it has always been her. She is the reason why I’m in this predicament, and to make it worse, she decided to team up with my enemies and betray me. She has turned me into this weak king that
Still Dominic’s POV“Yes, Dominic, I’m insane. Can’t you see that you’re making me go insane, I can die arms Dom, I’ll fucking do anything, if only you could forgive me.” She purred seductively moving her hands on my body, caressing me softly. I was finding it hard to breathe, her hands on my body was driving me insane, making me want to lose control.“Get your filthy hands off my body,” I growled at her angrily. She paused her actions for some seconds, weighing my reaction. She must have seen my inner struggle in my eyes, she must know the effect that she has on my body, that is why she didn’t stop, instead, she looked up at me, smirking evilly as she continued her seduction, drawing circles on my perfect abs, playing with my nipples.I’m a mess right now, I’m trying so hard to control my desires, but she isn’t making it easy for me. I kept on a stern face, glaring daggers at her, warning her with my eyes, but she wasn’t taking the hint, it seems like she wouldn’t take no for an answ
Bethany’s POVI’m going to kill Dominic.I’ll fucking kill that guy. He walked away, not sparing me a second glance. He just turned around and walked away, leaving me standing in the hallway, barely naked. I thought I had him, I thought he has forgiven me, gosh, I thought he would take me to bed and pleasure me until my eyes roll back into my head, but he only wanted to torture me, he wanted to prove to me that he is still in control and that I have no power over him. How on earth did I end up with such a strong-headed, ruthless mate?Harriet came out a few minutes after he left and I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw her. It’s either she’s a psychic or she has perfect timing, in any case, I’m super excited to see her, I would hate to be seen by anyone else in this condition, it would be so fucking embarrassing. She dragged me with her, taking me to room close to where I’m standing. It turns out to be their room, hers and Carl’s. Their room is so beautiful and spacious, not as spaci
Still Bethany’s POV“I’m sorry Graciela. I didn’t mean to hurt you and I never meant to ignore your feelings. I’ve been so busy with other things and I lost track of time and I…She turned around and left me standing there, occurring my worst short with her abrupt movement. I stood there gawking at her, watching her leave me in her angry state. I sighed frustratedly as I ignored my mission and ran after her. I know it’s quite important to find the mole but my friends are more important. I need to find out exactly what is wrong with her, I need to know why she suddenly decided to leave here. She knows how important it is for us to get this money, why would she want to leave without taking hers, or is Dominic forcing her to leave?“Come on Graciela, I said I’m sorry already. You can’t just leave when you feel like, you know. It’s not done that way. At least hear me out first, we need to sit down and talk about this, I need to know what’s going on, you have to talk to me Ella, you can’t
Still Bethany’s POV“Come on, Beth. Get your pretty ass out of that bathtub. Lorenzo has been gone for almost two weeks and he is becoming more grumpy by the minute. Trust me, you don’t want to keep him away from his women much longer, I would hate to see him turn into a grumpy old man.” Dominic let out jokingly, causing me to chuckle softly. He took a few steps forward and grabbed a towel, holding it out for me. I gladly went into his arms, letting him wrap the towels around my dripping wet body. He moved the towel on my body in a sensuous manner, giving me goosebumps all over my body. It’s been more than one week since we had a heart-to-heart discussion. It was right here in this very room, right before we went to celebrate our victory with the new Lycan king. Although I didn’t mean to question his motives and ask him if we are back together again, but I’m glad that I did because the outcome of that little talk we had was so heartwarming and beautiful. If I had not voiced out my fea
Bethany’s POVI killed my father…Everyone keeps trying to convince me that I had no choice. They believe that I did it out of self-defense. Let’s face the facts, if I had not done it, he would have probably killed me. He would have stabbed me with that blade and he would never have flinched when he did it. But that wasn’t why I killed him, I mean, I could have knocked him out and let the warriors deal with him the same way they dealt with all the other traitors that refused to fall in line. I could see the warriors around, Carl was there, as well as Harriet and Dwayne, I could have elbowed him hard and slipped out of his hold so they can deal with him and have him locked up, I could have let him live if I wanted to,But I didn’t… Nah, I used all the skills I learned from the big city while I was still planning to kill king Dominic. I never had a chance to kill Dom, I wouldn’t have done it even if I had the chance, I love him too much for that. I did attack him severally, but I didn’
Dominic’s POVI passed out a few seconds after Declan’s announcement, I was just too weak to join in the celebration. I was occupied with everything happening around me that I forgot about the wolfsbane that is circulating through my body. I was trying to stand up to my feet and address my people, but I slumped to the floor, and I felt myself drifting into nothingness as I passed out. “Wake up, Dom. We are not going to let you sleep through our victory celebration.”“Wake up, my king, we won. You hear me, we fucking won.”“That’s right my king. The tyrant is down, we killed the bastard.” “We are waiting for your instructions my king, you need to wake up and lead us to greatness. We need you, my king. We need you now more than ever.” I was hearing the cheers and encouragement from my generals, they sound gleeful, too excited if you ask me. I can hear their voices, I really want to be a part of this celebration, it’s all I’ve ever wanted, it’s all I’ve ever dreamed of. I’ve been figh
Dominic’s POV“I asked for a fair fight, Ash. Is this your definition of a fair fight?” I asked sarcastically when king Ashfords generals dragged me out of the dungeon and threw me into the ring that was at the center of the crowd. I don’t know how they managed to do all this in just a short while, but they did it and it looks quite good. There was a large space in the middle for king Ashford and I to fight freely. His warriors stood around the ring, ready to strike me down if the combat is in my favor. But that is not the only reason why I’m being sarcastic with him. I’m being this way because I can see that king Ashford is still scared of me, he is trying so hard to make it difficult for me to defeat him. His body armor is more sophisticated than the ones his warriors are wearing and he is packing a lot of sharp blades on his sides, he isn’t even trying to hide the fact that this combat is rigged in his favor. He smirks at me as I approach his location with my hands handcuffed in fr
Dominic’s POV“Are you fucking insane?How can you challenge him to a duel when you know you cannot kill him no matter what you do. I knew you had a death wish, but you didn’t have to drag us down with you did you?” Lorenzo yelled at me in anger when I got thrown into my cell. “You should be thankful to me for offering myself to be beaten by that bastard. If I didn’t do that, he would have tortured you until you give him exactly what he wants. I know king Ashford, he would have kept to his promise and he would keep cutting out different parts from your body until you finally break and give him the codes, and after he gets what he wants from you, he will kill you, he will fucking kill you.” I responded in the same angry tone that he had used on me. Don’t blame me for being mad at him, I mean, I just did him a huge favor, the least he can do is to appreciate my effort. I just saw my mate kissing my sworn enemy as if her life depended on it. She told me I don’t stand a chance against hi
Bethany’s POVHe is torturing me by withholding my pleasure. I think he likes toying with me and making me beg him for his attention. I’ve begged for it, I practically grovel at his feet and beg like a fucking whore that can’t keep her legs shut. If I didn’t know better, I’ll say that I’m high on some kind of drug, I just couldn’t keep it together, and I can't think straight. All I want is to have his dick buried within my pussy. When he walked in through that door, I thought he had finally come to put me out of my misery by screwing me senseless. But that’s not why he came, Nah, he had his own agenda, he always does.“I missed you, my king. I’ve been waiting patiently for you, just as you instructed,” I let out seductively, walking up to him, putting my arms around his shoulder, and leaning up for a kiss. But he turned away from me, dodging my kiss.“I think you are lying to me, Bethany. You claim you love me, but that is only a lie. I can see it in your eyes, I can tell that you mis
Still Dominic’s POV“Ashf… Ash… Please man, I’m begging you right now, please end this madness. I’ll take my own life, just give me a sword or a knife and I’ll fucking end my life, but pleas to this. You can’t do this I beg you.” I pleaded with him pathetically. This time, I wasn’t kidding around, I really meant it. I would rather die than to sit here like a fucking weakling and watch what is about to happen, or what I think is about to happen at least. I can never let this happen, it would ruin me and Bethany would never forgive me for this.“No, my friend. I won’t kill you yet, and I certainly won’t let you take your own life. It would only make you a martyr and that would give more people the motivation to go against me. On the other hand, it would give me great joy to break you and show everyone that you are a pansy and a coward. You are wimp Dom, and soon enough, everyone is going to see you for who you really are. A fraud.” He responded smugly, fixing his eyes on Bethany, ogli
Still Dominic’s POV“You are scared, aren’t you?You don’t want your warriors to see how weak you are. Let’s settle this on the battlefield as the ancient kings did. I’m fucking sick and tired of watching you hide behind your potions and black magic. You can never defeat me in combat, you are so fucking weak and pathetic. I’ve called you out to war, I’ve tried to get you to face me like a man, but you send your warriors to die in your stead, and you hide like a bitch, playing stupid mind games with me. This ends today, Ash. This fucking ends now. It started with you and me, and it’s going to end with you and me as well. Fight me, Ash, I dare you. I fucking dare you! I yelled at him, earning a scoff. I know I am straying from our plans, but it’s either this or he kills Lorenzo right here in my presence.I have put a lot of people at risk by bringing Lorenzo here. Lorenzo is the Mafia Lord and he controls this city. He is feared and respected in the underground, he controls many legal a
Still Dominic’s POVAt the order of the king, we were roughly thrown into the dungeon by his lycan warriors and the gates were shut firmly. The dungeon is just as I remembered, we were thrown into different cells on the same block. The guards searched us for hidden weapons or anything that we could use and try to escape, but they couldn’t find anything with us because we weren’t packing any. I let them him and my generals as they please, I felt the urge to punch their faces so hard that they lose a few teeth. But I curbed my anger and let them get away with it, I need them to believe that I have given up on this war. Their ego will be fed and they will celebrate their victory, they will think that they have finally won this war. They will be too busy celebrating their victory, they won’t see what is coming for them.Declan had told us to lay low for a while because it would take a couple of hours for his trusted warriors to get to us. His father is a paranoid bastard, he may look as i
