"Is this..are they, mine?" I whispered with wide eyes, out of all the things I told him I never expected this to be the one he remembered."I have another suprise for you but yes, they're all yours" he seemed weary about my reaction but I was honestly shocked. I didn't know whether to cry or hug him to death."Angel this is..why would you do this for me? I love it but..its too much, I can never repay you" I admitted to him softly. I didn't want to hurt his feelings and make him think I was rejecting his gift because I wasn't. I didn't money, a long time ago I had enough to live but being off the radar I lost it all."I don't want anything in return, and it's not too much. You deserve to be happy and this was on your bucket list" he told me shrugging."But it's t- ""I made you a promise many years ago to complete everything on that list. Your my mate and that's just how it is. Your mine to cherish, to love and to provide for, so let me" he cut me off, I didn't know what to say. I want
"Angel?" I sat up through the darkness rubbing my eyes, my voice hoarse from being half asleep. The door shut quietly."I didn't mean to wake you" he muttered shuffling around, as my vision cleared I could see him perfectly as he stripped down. My body heated up making my thighs clench, I averted my gaze knowing now wasn't the time."You can look baby, it's nothing you haven't seen before" he winked at my through the darkness, his husky chuckle bouncing around the room. It was strange for him to call me 'baby' or any other pet name, I was lana normally."I don't think our guests would appreciate the noise" I teased him, his face fell as he glanced around."I knew I should have kept them downstairs" he grumbled climbing into the bed beside me. He snaked his arms around me pulling me into his chest, I cuddled into him getting comfy."I love you" he told me softly as I tucked my head into his chest. My heart swelled and sped up like every time he said those three words. His touch brought
"What exactly did she say?" I was curious. The pack were currently waiting outside for us, worried about what we might possibly want."Nothing worth repeating" it was clear she was still seething. Leaving it at that I opened the door, taking lanas blood covered hand in mine I pulled her up onto the stage so everyone had a clear view of us.Before I could even get a word in Lana jumped straight to the point, I shook my head amused at her impatience."I'm going to give it to you all straight. I wear the Alphas mark, I share his bed and anything else I wish because I have the right to" she glared at each and every female. They seemed to know what she was getting at and lowered their gaze.Clever girls."if any of you would like to challenge my status then feel free, I'll fight you all at once. But when your dead don't go crying to the moon wishing you could change what you did. So here is my warning; my mate will never be yours, don't think about him, don't watch him when you think no on
"Will it work? What about Alpha Bain? Will he agree?" One of the young alphas questioned. It was obvious they feared possibly going against him but that wasn't about to happen so they had no reason to be scared."He'll agree. Just make sure your there on time" I told them sternly.They nodded instantly knowing this plan was our only option if we all wished to walk out of this alive."Will it hurt?" One asked hesitantly. One of the new ones.I looked directly at him as I spoke so he knew I wasn't joking."Like someone is slowly tearing apart your insides, and even that isn't a fraction of the real thing" he winced and looked away.Turning towards the door I exit the meeting room.Despite angel blanking me at the moment I knew I had to tell him the plan, he couldn't be left in the dark thinking we were all going to die.His immature behaviour was getting on my nerves, I could handle the angry him, I could handle the upset him, I could handle the worst of him. But this, I couldn't handle
24 hours laterBlinking I sat up rubbing my eyes tiredly. The blanket falling into my lap as i did."Good morning sleepy head" I froze at the voice, slowly lifting my eyes to meet the deep violet ones."Why are you here?" I asked bluntly. All respect for her as gone out of the window.She told me to be strong. To trust angel. But he hit me. He hurt me and he broke my heart."Sweetie, you mustn't act like your fine, I can feel your pain as if it is my own" she smiled softly, no pity in her eyes. Only love, light and happiness."But it's not! Is it!?" I snapped jumping from the bed, ripping the iv from my arm."How dare you come here acting like you know me! I'm in the middle of a fucking war and you think I'm worried about a little heartbreak!" I snapped again, fuming with anger.She looked at me with calculating eyes, assessing me with concern."You always seem to amaze and surprise me, Aphrodisia" she smiled, so kind and pure."Dominik told me am I bound to you, as your finest warrio
Silence fell in the kitchen as I stepped into view.After I had showered and got dressed, I headed downstairs for some breakfast. although now I'm here I'm starting to rethink my decision.The men gave me looks of pity, even though the moon had healed me after sending me to sleep last night.I couldn't help but take note that everyone is here, everyone except angel. I couldn't feel our bond, seeing as I'm blocking him completely."Last night..forget about it" I told them coldly.I should've asked the moon goddess to make them forget.One of the older alphas scoffed."That man is a disgrace. He purposely hit a woman, his mate to be exact. He does not deserve the title he holds, I, for one think we should take this matter to the council" he said, looking at the other alphas who nod in agreement.Marcus seemed conflicted. I knew his loyalty is with me and angel, he couldn't decide. And he wouldn't."Have you ever experienced bloodlust?" I asked them coldly. I didn't appreciate them tryin
"I don't know that it won't happen again. But if and when it does, I'll rip you a new one. I promise" I smiled lightly, trying to lighten his dark hateful mood."This isn't a fucking joke! I. HIT. YOU" he said the words slowly, putting more force behind the last few words."What do you want me to say?" I whispered banging my head on the wall with frustration."I want you to scream at me. Or yell. Or hit me back. I want you to have a reaction that I can understand! I want you..I..I want you to see me, as I see myself" he lowered his voice, his eyes remained his icy blue with flecks of silver."You want me to yell? Ok. You want me to hit you? I'll do it. But if you think for one second that I'll stop loving you and leave,..then your not the man that has hunted me for 600 years simply because he couldn't live without me" I snapped at him.He shut his eyes and growled deeply, it shook his body and the floor we stood on."I can't keep hurting you, I won't keep hu-""STOP IT!" I snapped lou
"Why haven't you changed back yet?"He kept pacing rapidly."Maybe it's a genetic disorder"His mumblings continued as he burnt a hole into the plush carpet. I sat calmly on the small sofa while angel and the other alphas openly stared at me.Nobody spoke but angel, although no one could really understand him."What are your parents names?""Excuse me?" I narrowed my eyes at his abrupt unexpected demand."I need the names of everyone in your family, if I backtrack the bloodline I can find out why you've shifted into a form that you can't shift back from" he explained glancing over my new body with weariness.He didn't like change, never has and never will."What if I don't want to shift back?" I asked stubbornly. He paused his steps and furrowed his eyebrows."I....suppose I can live with it" he grumbled clearly not liking the idea that much, but I know he'll accept me if I chose to remain this way."Believe it or not I do take your feelings and thoughts into consideration. I know you
