Still Bethany’s POV“Miguel, this is my friend Bethany, and Beth, meet Miguel.” Harriet said cheerily as she did the introductions.“So nice to finally meet you, Bethany. I’ve heard so much about you. It’s so nice to finally put a face to the name.” He said with a warm smile as he gazes into my eyes. I exchanged a look with Harriet, silently asking her if she had been talking to her cousin about me. She shrugged her shoulder in response, telling me that she is as clueless about his words as I am. I decided to let it go because I still need him to agree to hang out with me, I wouldn’t want to upset him during our first meeting. Harriet gave me a look as she pulled him a few miles away from where we were standing, I guess she tell him the real reason why she had invited him here.I sat in the car and played with my phone, giving them a chance to speak in private. A part of me wants to listen in and hear what they are saying, but I know it’s wrong to listen in on their conversation, I kn
Still Bethany’s POVI sat in front of the mirror, doing a little touch-up on my make-up, passing the time. Dinner time was moved an hour forward because the king was not yet back. I’ve been dressed since 8:pm, waiting for the omega to announce the king's arrival for dinner, but they didn’t come sooner than I had expected. The King had not returned from wherever the hell he is, he had instructed his Beta, Dwayne to proceed with dinner without him, but everyone insisted on waiting for his arrival. They love and honor him so much that they are willing to wait for him for as long as possible. It is said that the king is in the woods with his warriors, searching for any evidence that the mole might have left behind. But I don’t believe that, not for even a second. King Dominic would be screwing one bitch right now, he could be in his room right now banging one of his numerous admirers like he calls them. I could have ordered for my dinner in my room so I don’t get to see his ugly face, th
Dominic’s POVHer beauty is out of this world, so extraordinary. I watched as she sauntered towards the high table, swaying her hips like a model on a runway. The gown has cost me a fortune, but seeing her looking so gorgeous in it made every penny I spent on it worth it.I had bought that gown out of a guilty conscience. Finding out that she had been trying to crack this case while I was fucking a whore had made me feel so guilty. Because of me, Harriet had nearly lost her life, I jeopardized their mission because of my selfish desires. She is trying so hard to prove that she wants to be with me, she is trying to fix our broken relationship, yet I keep acting like a complete asshole, pushing her away.When I tackled her to the floor in front of the hospital, I had realized just how much I miss her, my body yearns for hers. I can never push her away, no matter how much I try, she makes me feel complete. I am so glad that she did not say the words to accept my rejection, I don’t know w
Still Dominic’s POVI walked out, not because I couldn’t beat the shit out of him but because deep within me, I knew that he had said the truth, I pushed her into the arms of another man. It’s all my fault, if I wasn’t such an asshole, there is no way she would have been with him. I had no reason to throw a tantrum over this issue, it’s all my fucking fault and now I have to sit calm and bear the consequences of my actions.I walked out of the bar, my heart still burning in anger. I saw Harriet and Beth standing in the hallway, but I don’t have anything to say to them, I’m too pissed to think straight, I’m too fucking pissed to act rationally. I just walked past everyone, walking down to my room in silence. I’m not going to fight over her, no, I won’t do it, I have absolutely no right to fight over her. If being with another man is going to make her happy, then I’m cool with it. I got into my room, shutting the door behind me as I thought about everything that has happened between us
Bethany’s POVI know that he is still pissed and that is why he is saying these awful words to me. I saw the fire in his eyes when he passed by us, he is so fucking angry, more furious than I’ve ever seen him. I shouldn’t have kissed Miguel, why the hell did I kiss him, what was I even thinking?How do I explain to anyone that I had kissed another man, not just kissing another man plainly, I actually enjoyed kissing him, I would probably have done more than just kissing him if Dominic had not come to disrupt our make-out session. Harriet was trying to pull me to my room, but I just couldn’t leave without knowing what is going on between my mate and my pretend boyfriend I stood by the corner and listened to everything that is happening in there, I waited for him to leave the hall, then I ran back inside, going to where Miguel lay with his broken lips that have begun to heal already. Carl and Dwayne stood by his side scolding him angrily, warning him to stay the hell away from me. I hea
Still Bethany’s POV“You need to leave here right now Beth, don’t make me hurt you.” He repeated sternly, grinding his teeth angrily as his throat bobbled up and down. I still don’t get why he is pushing me away, does he want me to be weak and teary in front of him, is that what he really wants?Or maybe he is some kind of Dom that prefers his women to be submissive always. Why must he always act so tough and arrogant before me, for fucks sake I’m supposed to be his fucking mate. And even if he gets to act all macho and tough out there, he shouldn’t act that way with me too, he should treat me with love and respect. And if he is actually waiting for me to crawl at his feet, crying and begging for him to forgive me and take me back, then he has to think again because I’m fucking getting tired of his silly attitude, I just can't take it anymore.“You know what, I think you might actually be right, Dom. I’m not sorry, not even a little bit. Yes, I kissed him and I enjoyed every minute of
Still Bethany’s POVIt should be a dream come true, it’s all I’ve ever wanted, all I’ve always prayed for, but why does it feel strange to me. He turned me around, forcing me to look up at his face, bringing one of his palms to caress my face. I’ve always wanted him to look at me that way, I’ve always imagined how I would feel when he finally looks at me with love and affection, but right now, I just don’t know how I’m feeling, I can’t explain why I’m not thrilled and excited as I should be, have I stopped loving him?“Why do you want me here, when you obviously hate me so much, you hate everything about me Dominic, you keep trying to hurt me every fucking day. I can’t do this anymore, Dom, it’s so frustrating when you love someone that would never reciprocate your love. It shouldn’t just be about the bond, if we are together, it should be because we want to be together, not because of the damn mate bond.” I let out and scoffed at my own words. I can’t believe that I just said these w
Dominic’s POVI’ve never felt this scared in my whole life. I’ve always prided myself as a tough, powerful man, who would have thought that I would be humbled by a mere woman. She had been so determined to leave that it scared the shit out of me. I have never seen her this way before, I have never seen her so determined and tenacious since she came into this Castle, she looked so confused and frustrated, like she is completely fed up with me.When I saw her with that idiot, Miguel, I knew I had to act fast before I lose her completely. I knew exactly what she was about to say, and I know that if she finally accepts my rejection, then our bond would be severed completely. At first, I had tried to force her to change her mind because of Scott. I let Scott out, I let him have his way with her, kissing her with so much passion and desire, reminding her that she is still mated to us. I have to admit that I kind of like this game of cat and mouse that I’m playing with her, it’s so much fun
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
