Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)
It had been about a week since I reconnected with Alveric, and he had started helping me with this whole prophecy thing. We had no idea where we would even start looking for the witch so instead, we have been taking care of Laila and Orin in an attempt to bring them back to life. I mean, they were already alive, technically, but they were also kind of dead.
Alveric explained to me that even without our help with nursing them back to health, Laila and Orin would have come back to life regardless. The process would just take a lot longer as their body would have to fight external forces and search for ways to rejuvenate itself; then, of course, there is the magical aspect of it. It is uncertain whether or not they would come back as fairies. It is possible for them to come back as mere humans or even creatures against nature.
No one said this had to be easy and it has been proven to be quite difficult since this entire ordeal
Alveric Valentine (P.O.V.) As I ended the call with Dimitri, I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand that I tore out from the book. The prophecy was coming to pass just as predicted and it is not as Dimitri thinks it is. He is a part of the prophecy, and he is not on the good side of things. I do not know if his ill intentions have already been sought out, but I had to ensure that he was kept out of the loop about what the prophecy said about him.Basically, the prophecy states that a man will be born to court the Moon Goddess to her victory, but this man will fall in love with her. For the Gods have created her in the likeness of perfection she would always be desired but shall not desire. He who desires the Goddess shall grovel at her feet and meet her every wish and demand, but he who does not and is rejected shall accept his fate. The man who is to court the Goddess to her victory shall never desire her, but if he who does come
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)“I was just thinking about the pack and my mate.” I said, sighing heavily because I was honestly frustrated.“What about her?” She asked as she sat up and scooted closer to me on the bed.She placed her hand on my lap and slowly began to drag it higher up onto my thighs so that the tips of her fingers were slightly grazing my crotch.“I am just really conflicted with her. I want to have her as my mate, but I do not think I am ready to settle down with just one girl. On one hand she can be a really good asset to the pack, but on the other hand, if I am not faithful to her, she might leave me.” I bowed my head in defeat and rubbed my face in frustration.“I understand how you feel. When I met my mate, I instantly rejected him because he turned out
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)It has been a week since I moved in with Alessandro. I do not have any complaints as his pack was more than welcoming. I could tell they were not used to being heard and being given the opportunity to share their concerns about their wants and needs because when I showed up and Alessandro began to make adjustments where I was being treated with respect and as if I had a say about what happens in the pack, people started coming forward with what they wanted. At first, I felt as though the members of his pack were only being nice to me because they wanted things that they wanted to be done in the pack that would have been more than rewarding to them, however, there came a moment in time where I had to explain to them, while keeping some form of confidentiality, of course, that they should not get their hopes up because while I may adhere to their concerns and listen, there is not much that I could do because I was not apart of the pack
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)Isla chuckled on the phone, and it went silent on her end for a bit.I took a deep breath and my eye wandered over to Stephanie who was currently sprawled out butt naked on my desk.“Well, I guess I will see you later. Dress pretty.” I joked and chuckled before we both exchanged goodbyes and I ended the call.“Way to go babe. Look at you, being the mate of the year.” Stephanie teased and got off the desk and wrapped her arms around my neck as she pecked me on my lips.“Hardy ha ha, now where should I take her? I want to be romantic, but I do not have one romantic bone in my body. I do not think I have ever taken a girl out on a date.” I scratched my head awkwardly and began picking up my clothes from the floor.Stephanie also began to put her clothes back on.“I mean, if she really loved you, she should not mind where you are taking her but should ra
Stephanie Wilde (P.O.V.)I watched as he walked out of the office, and I could not help but feel a pang of jealousy. My stomach was in knots, and I wanted to lock myself in a dark room and cry my eyes out. How could he not see that I would do anything for him? I was willing to put my feelings aside for him, just so he could have the best of both worlds. Every time we made love, I would enjoy all of him and be grateful for the moment and the time he chose to spend with me, but then when the bliss is over, I think to myself that after all of this, he will be going home to his mate.We have not met yet and honestly; I was anticipating the moment that we do. Ever since that night when she gruesomely murdered my best friend, I promised myself that I would seek vengeance for her. I was not certain if Alessandro remembered anything about that night, but I did not mention to him that she had seen my face. I mean she was pretty out of it after we gave her a sho
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)After the call with Alessandro ended, I pulled a blanket over my body and got comfortable on the couch in content. It was beyond adorable that he asked to take me out. I could no express how excited I felt. From the moment the call ended, I just sat on the couch and pondered on what outfit I could wear. Since I had only recently bought a new closet of clothes, the type of clothes I currently owned was fresh in my mind, so I was able to sit here and conjure an outfit in my head. I had the perfect outfit in mind. I was so excited to wear it.I had a bit of time before Alessandro would come home, so I decided to continue watching movies. When some time had passed, I felt myself slowly falling asleep. Before I could completely subdue to my sleepiness, I checked the time on my phone so I can decipher how much time I got to sleep, and then I set an alarm.When I got done with that, I switched the television off and allowed my
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)“Oops! I am sorry.” She bit her lip again and smiled sheepishly at me. This time I chose to ignore it and look away so that I did not end up doing anything she did not want me to at the moment.“We could leave at seven and see a movie at eight then have dinner after that. Or would you prefer to watch a movie first?” I scratched the back of my head nervously. I really did not know how these things went.“Hmm, well usually all of the good movies show late at night but restaurants do not necessarily stay open for dining so I think a movie first and then we can explore Los Angeles together and hunt for food. That sounds fun.” She exclaimed and I chuckled.“That is a great idea indeed. Well, I will leave you to choose a movie on the website while I relax for a bit.” I said and took a seat next to her.I watched closely as she unlocked her phone and I quickly glan
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)“I wanted to see you before you went off to your big date.” She said smiling brightly.“Well, we are leaving in the next three hours, so you are like really early.”Stephanie smirked and got closer to me before she wrapped her arms around my neck.“What do you say we do something fun to pass the time then?” I immediately pushed her away and looked upstairs again to ensure Isla was still in the shower.“What? No! are you crazy? My mate is right upstairs!”Before she could say more, I opened the front door.“Get out Stephanie,” I demanded.She pouted and did as she was told.I sighed in relief and went upstairs to my room. As I was opening my bedroom door, I could hear the water falling in the shower. I concentrated a little and sniffed the air.Ah, she is washing her hair. Just then an idea popped into my head.
