Dominicâs POVI can recognize her scent, she smelled like warm honey, it was so sweet and calming as usual, so amazing. I opened my eyes slowly, hoping sheâll be in my arms, wishing that last night has only been a dream and she hadnât really shot me with a bullet laced with wolfsbane. I came face to face with a pair of black orbs gazing at me a little too closely if you ask me. I got startled by her peering gaze and I shot upright, reaching for a weapon.âWhoa⊠whoa⊠Hold on, itâs only me and Carl,â she let out hurriedly. I sighed when I saw that it was only Harriet, but when I turned to acknowledge Carl, I got hit with that intoxicating agent again. I got up and followed the scent, walking towards Carl. I saw the nervousness in his face but he did well to hide it while looking at me curiously. Realization dawned on me as her amazing scent hit me with a full force when I got to where he stood.âDo you have something you wish to share with me?â I asked in a sharp tone, sending him into
Bethanyâs POVMy friendsâŠGosh, why did I not think about them when I decided to activate my revenge plans?The only thing I was thinking about was how to get rid of that asshole because he is making me feel soft-hearted. I just couldnât stand being close to him, I couldnât think straight with him being this close to me. When he kissed me, my whole world turned upside down, I couldnât control my body as I responded eagerly to his kisses.As I lay on his bed, I felt his warmth surround him and his scent nearly suffocated me. I wanted him to touch me, I lost control of my own body, all I wanted was to feel the closeness of his body as he pulls me close to his heart. All these feelings felt like an abomination, I just could accept it. The moon goddess had made a mistake when she paired me with this monster of a man. I couldnât bring myself to fall for him, I just canât do it, that is why I took action when I got the chance and now my friends are going to suffer for it.I need to check on
Still Bethâs POVâOh, come on Dom, is that really necessary?âWhy donât you ask my bleeding arm that was shot with wolfsbane?â He retorts sarcastically.Yeah, he has a point, I did shoot him last night and I regret it now, he should at least give me a chance to make it right. How do I seduce a guy who canât even look at me without reading my moves and calculating my next scheme. I turn around and stare him in the eyes, giving him my most seductive smile, placing my hand on his chest, âIf youâre done being a perv, why donât you sit down and let me take care of you,â I muttered softly, taking slow, steady steps, pushing him back slowly. He was still giving me that weird, calculating look, trying to figure out what is going on with me. Just before I could push him down on the bed, he grabbed my hand that is resting on his chest, taking it off his chest as he glares down at me.âCut the crap Beth, tell me what you want or you get the hell out of here,â he said abruptly, shoving me toward
Gracielaâs POVIt all started Four years ago when mom had a heart attack and the doctors requested that she quit her job and stay home until she recovered fully. I had to drop out of college and get a job so I could take care of my sibling and pay up her hospital bills and other bills in the house.While I was searching for a job, a friend introduced me to stripping in a club. It isnât the kind of job that I would have loved to do, but, The bills were piling up and my mom needs to check-in at the hospital every week, I needed the money badly, so I took the job and I worked as a stripper, earning enough to pay the bills and also take care of my mom and my sisters.A few months after I started working in the club, I got a call from the hospital, mom had been admitted into the emergency room and she is going to begin her chemotherapy. I couldnât believe it, I thought Chemo is only for cancer patients, mom doesnât have cancer, how could she be going for Chemotherapy, what the hell is goin
Dominicâs POVThatâs itâŠThatâs the fiery spiritâŠI wonder why she has been pretending to care about me. I knew it was all fake, I just played along because I wanted to see how far she is willing to go. Although, if Iâm being completely honest, I would say that I craved for her touch, I wished for it, even though I know that she has something up her sleeve.I watched her leave in anger after telling me just how much she hates me. I couldnât help chuckling to myself when she stormed out the door and banged it with so much force that reverberated the whole room. I new she was an amateur, I could tell that she wasnât perfect in giving a blowjob, if Iâm not mistaken, it could even be her first time. But I just had to bully her a little, getting her riled up until she lost control and yelled at me in anger. She looks so sexy when she is upset and I love her fiery spirit. After she left, I got rid of every evidence that could arouse any suspicions, I wouldnât want anyone to find out about
Gracielaâs POVI got a message from Lucas Dorego, he knows I am here. Lucas is the drug Lord that is after my life. Iâve heard tales about him and they are never good stories because he is a ruthless and merciless drug lord that shows no mercy to anyoneâKing Dominic cannot save you from me. Your interest rate just went up because you sought help from King Dominic. You have eight days to pay up or youâll end up like your friend. I know where to find your mom, Gracie. Donât make me hurt her. By the way, nice couch you got here, I love it.âThat was the message I got from Lucas. That sick son of a bitch was in my house, he knows where I live and he knows my mother. How did he know about my location, why does he hate king Dominic so much?It seems he has a feud with the king, they must be sworn enemies or something, that is why he is angry that I came here. He thinks I came here to seek for help, does he think Iâm stupid? I came here with my sisters just to find his money, I donât even h
Still Bethanyâs POVâWhy the hell would you sneak on me like that?â I voiced out in anger as I helped her up, checking her body for injuries because I had thought that she is a werewolf and I had hit her pretty hard on the floor.âWhen did you learn how to fight like a ninja and why are you so strong?â She let out in pain as she scowls at me. I chuckled at her question as I help her dust her body. If only she knows that she is in the most werewolves, then she wouldnât be asking me that.âIâm so sorry. I thought it was someone else. I just donât feel safe in this Castle, the guys are so scary.â I lied through my teeth. I canât tell her that I thought it was Bianca, I donât know if the omega that Dominic asked to follow me around is a friend of Bianca, she could rat me out to her and she would know that I consider her as a threat. I want her to see me as a weak and clueless human, that way, if she decides to attack me, I would have an advantage.âYou donât have to be scared of anyone, m
Dominicâs POVMy body was shaking in rage, and I was very close to losing it. The last time Iâd been this furious had been when I found out that king Ashford was trying to eliminate all werewolves from the surface of the earth.No matter how hard I fucking try to calm myself down, talk myself off this edge that I was about to fucking fall from, I just couldnât do it.Iâm pissed,Raging,Fucking seething.Iâm so mad.I made it clear that she was mine, I fucking told them to stay the fuck away from her. He hurt a human girl and one of my omegaâs. He defied a direct order and he tried to force himself on my woman.All for fucking what?I knew he was a sick bastard. Iâve heard about his dealing with the omegaâs, but this time, he fucking crossed the line, he went overboard and heâs going to pay for it, I swear it.I took her to our room and placed her gently on the bed. She sat up on the bed with her back to the headboard, playing with her hands. She had tears in her eyes, I knew she had
Still Bethanyâs POVâCome 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 donât want to keep him away from his women much longer, I would hate to see him turn into a grumpy old man.â 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. Itâs 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 didnât mean to question his motives and ask him if we are back together again, but Iâm 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
Bethanyâs POVI killed my fatherâŠEveryone keeps trying to convince me that I had no choice. They believe that I did it out of self-defense. Letâs 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 wasnât 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 didnât⊠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 wouldnât have done it even if I had the chance, I love him too much for that. I did attack him severally, but I didnâ
Dominicâs POVI passed out a few seconds after Declanâs 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. âWake up, Dom. We are not going to let you sleep through our victory celebration.ââWake up, my king, we won. You hear me, we fucking won.ââThatâs right my king. The tyrant is down, we killed the bastard.â âWe 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.â 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, itâs all Iâve ever wanted, itâs all Iâve ever dreamed of. Iâve been figh
Dominicâs POVâI asked for a fair fight, Ash. Is this your definition of a fair fight?â 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 donât 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 Iâm being sarcastic with him. Iâm 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 isnât 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
Dominicâs POVâAre 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 didnât have to drag us down with you did you?â Lorenzo yelled at me in anger when I got thrown into my cell. âYou should be thankful to me for offering myself to be beaten by that bastard. If I didnât 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.â I responded in the same angry tone that he had used on me. Donât 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 donât stand a chance against hi
Bethanyâs POVHe is torturing me by withholding my pleasure. I think he likes toying with me and making me beg him for his attention. Iâve begged for it, I practically grovel at his feet and beg like a fucking whore that canât keep her legs shut. If I didnât know better, Iâll say that Iâm high on some kind of drug, I just couldnât 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 thatâs not why he came, Nah, he had his own agenda, he always does.âI missed you, my king. Iâve been waiting patiently for you, just as you instructed,â 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.âI 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 Dominicâs POVâAshf⊠Ash⊠Please man, Iâm begging you right now, please end this madness. Iâll take my own life, just give me a sword or a knife and Iâll fucking end my life, but pleas to this. You canât do this I beg you.â I pleaded with him pathetically. This time, I wasnât 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.âNo, my friend. I wonât kill you yet, and I certainly wonât 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.â He responded smugly, fixing his eyes on Bethany, ogli
Still Dominicâs POVâYou are scared, arenât you?You donât want your warriors to see how weak you are. Letâs settle this on the battlefield as the ancient kings did. Iâm 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. Iâve called you out to war, Iâve 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 itâs 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 itâs 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 Dominicâs 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 couldnât find anything with us because we werenât 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 wonât 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
