Bethany’s POVI watched in horror as Ciara clawed at that general, tearing his chest and stomach with her claws, it looked so horrible, so damn horrible. She flung me far away with only one hand, I hit the wall pretty hard and it hurt so much. But the pain I’m feeling cannot be compared to the pains I’m feeling in my heart as I see her this way. She looked like a fucking lunatic, she didn’t feel any guilt or remorse as she repeatedly tore into him. It was so damn painful and it hurt me so much to see her this way, she is not like this, she was never this way. She has always been a loving and caring soul, she could never hurt a fly. I guess doctor Fred was wrong with his diagnosis, he said she is getting better and that she is ready to leave but I think he was wrong, she is not getting better at all, this is not better, it is worse, way worse. I wonder why he would let us takeover away when he knows that she is a danger to everyone, it’s just so crazy.I stayed back and let Dominic han
Still Bethany’s POV“What the hell are you talking about, Beth, I thought I asked you to stay with Ciara, why did you leave her alone?” he asked me calmly, acting so natural. His face was so straight, you would never know that he is hiding anything, how can he keep a straight face and lie to me so effortlessly. It makes me wonder if everything he has been saying to me had been a lie, how on earth do I differentiate his lies and truth?“What the hell is wrong with you, Dominic?Are you always this mean and heartless, how can you look me in the eyes and lie straight to my face, how despicable are you?” I asked him angrily.“What the hell are you talking about, Bethany, why would you speak to me this way in front of everyone, what the hell is wrong with you?” he scolded me furiously, giving me a stern look. I almost laughed at his words, to think that all he cares about is the fact that people are witnessing what is happening right now. “Don’t you fucking patronize me, Dom. I heard ever
Still Bethany’s POV“That was wrong. You don’t have to fight your man because of me, Beth.” Ciara muttered softly when I went back to her.“Were you eavesdropping on our conversation? That’s rude you know. And just to be clear, this isn’t about you, it was never about you. It’s between Dominic and I, this is what I should have done a long time ago, I guess it’s better late than never, right?” I responded with a smile that was meant to assure her that everything will be alright, but I don’t think she was convinced at all because that smile looks more like a nervous breakdown and I felt the tears slide down my cheeks as I helped Fiona to wipe off the blood from her hands and her face. I can feel his eyes boring holes in my back, but I didn’t turn back. I haven’t turned around since I left him standing there and I certainly won’t. This is a decision that I should have made a long time ago, I have to stop letting him walk all over me. If I keep forgiving him, he may end up making one of t
Graciela’s POV“And why do you have that look on your face, you make it seem like you don’t want them to come.” “Nah, that’s not it. I would be a selfish bastard if I deny you the chance of meeting with your sisters. You have not seen them since you lost your mom and I know how much you miss them, but I think that something is not right here.” He responded calmly as he walked into his office and sat on his seat, gesturing for me to come over and sit on his lap. I hesitated w little, but when I complied immediately when he fixed me a stern look. We were having our lunch when Bethany’s call came in, but his countenance changed after that call and he abandoned his meal claiming that he no longer has. Appetites I know him well enough to know that something is wrong with him, so I fooled him immediately. My sisters are coming tomorrow, I don’t want anything to go wrong before they arrive, I have been working so hard to make everything go perfectly when they arrive, I don’t want him to rec
Bethany’s POVWhen Dominic asked me not to leave, I thought he had finally realized his mistake, I thought he would tell me that he is ready to do anything to make Ciara feel better, but I thought wrong. As long as this war continues, Dominic will never think about anything else, he would never put anybody’s feelings into consideration, it will always be about king Ashford this war.“I need you by my side, Beth, I can’t think straight without you. This war is draining me completely, you can’t leave me at this crucial moment. Please, Beth, you have to let me handle this my way, I have it all figured out, I promise it’s going to work out fine and everything is going to be fine. I just need Ciara to get well so I can get her to her sister, then I’ll finally get to meet Lorenzo and then we can win this war together. It is going to work, I promise.” He let out pleadingly, trying to pull me into his arms. I scoffed and chuckle at his words, I mean, how stupid does he think I am. I guess I’v
Dominic’s POV“Where are we on the search for the Alphas?” I let out in a hoarse tone. I am so furious and I am not about to hide my anger and pretend that everything is fine with me when it obviously isn’t. Bethany left me, she fucking left. She left with her friends, she left this Castle without looking back and it hurt me because I thought we were way past all this, I thought we were beginning to understand each other, but she just isn’t ready to listen to me anymore. I think she is giving up on her people, I think she is abandoning her duties as a Luna and a queen. “Are you sure you want to get into this right now?” Carl asked me coming to stand beside me. “What the hell are you talking about?” I retorted.“Look man, I’m sorry she left the way she did. I know Bethany and I know how she tends to make silly decisions if she is angry. Trust me, she will soon come back to her senses and come back home to you. She loves you deeply, I can see it in her eyes, you just need to give her
Bethany’s POVJust when I thought that I have escaped an overbearing, annoying mate, I got hit with the hard truth. This war did not only change Dominic, it changed everyone, I mean everyone. The change is affecting everyone, including the humans. I realized this when we arrived in the big city, the driver kept taking different turns that looks so strange to me. I haven’t been to this side of the city before, but I couldn’t say anything because I could see him talking to Lorenzo on the phone and Graciela had hinted to me that we will be making a quick stop somewhere before we will be brought back to the mansion.Ciara is still asleep and Fiona won’t stop chatting and laughing hysterically. It is very obvious that she is chatting with Dwayne, they are so inseparable, just like Harriet and Carl. I wish Ciara had met someone half as nice as Dwayne, it’s so unfortunate that she ended up with that asshole, Fabius. The same goes with me, when the moon goddess was handing out mates, she deci
Still Bethany’s POVWe arrived at Lorenzo’s house just in time for dinner. Gracie was so excited to see us, and so were we. Gosh, she looked so good, so damn good. I met her in the club and she was a crackhead already when I met her. I’ve always seen her as a crackhead, she always looked so pale and deadbeat because of her use of various kinds of hard drugs, but Graciela we met in Lorenzo’s house is so damn beautiful. She had cute blushes on her cheeks and her skin is so bright and radiant. She has never been more beautiful, I couldn’t find the right words to compliment her beauty, she is just so cute and radiant. I have to say a special thank you to Lorenzo, it’s obvious to see that he is perfect for her. They seem to understand each other, they communicate with their eyes and their public show of affection is so cure. Gosh, I’m jealous.We took some dinner up to Ciara’s room because she was still asleep while we had dinner. I think the dosage of the potion that doctor Fred gave me i
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
