*Abi POV*I don’t how I shifted back to myself but I wish I hadn’t. Seeing through Nina’s blazing eyes is completely different from mine. Everything that was in the courtyard is now ashes. What was once the most cruel ruler and his friends also mixed there, not even a bone is visible. My eyes turn to the two people I am now terrified to face. Their expressions are enough to tell me that they are now scared of me. Omario stands in the same corner he was in when Nina bit him. His hand is pressing the bite mark which should be bleeding considering the location, but I don’t see any blood there. I am really relieved that he is alive, I could have never been able to forgive myself if I killed him. “Do you two have to be so dramatic? I mean you could mark each other like normal people do.”I turn to look at Terrence in disbelief. “The bite is on his neck. I did not mark him.”I am clueless about a lot of this but I know where mates mark each other. “Who said that’s the only location one c
*Omario POV*I sit on the bed in my chambers in a daze, trying to make sense of what happened. The elders and prophets have sworn me in placed as the interim Alpha before the formal ceremony, but I did not hear a word that was said. My door opens and I don’t even turn to check who it is. Only one person does not bother knocking. “Say it.”I know that he always has an opinion too. “Say what?”“Say what’s on your mind.”I know he has something to say, it’s better if we talk and get over with it. “You are an asshole.”There it is! My Gamma never disappoints. An empty laugh escape my lips. I’m not even shocked anymore. I was the second powerful person after my dad, now I’m the Alpha but none of that ever stopped Terrence from speaking his mind. “I have no doubt that you will be good for the people but I can’t be your Gamma.”“You are taking side and choosing Abi over me?”I don’t even know why I ask because it’s obvious. I am hurt by his decision because he has not even asked me my
*Terrence POV*I stand on the balcony of the tenth floor, watching the movements on the ground. This is a perfect spot to see everything without being seen. There’s too much activity with the union guests leaving and those coming for the funeral arriving. This is the weakest period of any kingdom. It’s a good opportunity for any rogue planning mischief. I told Omario that I wont be attending the funeral because I would be celebrating, but I’m actually keeping watch. With him so confused about Abi, I have to. “How’s my son?”I don’t turn to look at my guest. I know the voice too well. “That’s not why you are here.”“You are cocky.”“You knew that before approaching me.”“Get out of my head,”she commands. I grin and lick my lips. Most people don’t even notice when I’m in their heads until I reveal myself. “Should you not be mourning your trash mate?”I tease. She would be really pathetic to mourn both Theo and his wolf but I already know that she is not. “You are in my head, should
*Omario POV*I start pacing in my chambers the moment Terrence walks out. What would Nina block Titan’s access to Abi?Has she really had enough and shutting both of us out?“Don’t worry Titan, I will fix this,” I reassure my dejected wolf before taking my phone and calling the human who picked Abi the night I helped her escape. He tells me everything I need to know. I jot down Abi’s address. “We are going to find her as soon as the funeral is over, okay?”Titan does not respond. It would be nice to know what he thinks but him and I are not so close anymore. I hope that will change when Abi is back here. An hour goes by fast, I head out to the courtyard for the funeral procession. A lot of familiar faces, the families of dad’s friends are already standing outside. Some, including Olivia, are in tears. I don’t approach her. Very colourful words were said when we parted. I am certain that she hates me now and I don’t blame her. At least Loyd is by her side. He has not spoken to me si
*Abi POV*Completely exhausted and drifting off to sleep, Colton insists on me sleeping on his sex masculine chest. He is so proud of himself he can’t stop grinning. Apparently, I was a difficult one to pin down. I’m probably number hundred in his list of conquests. Some might have an issue with that but that’s specifically why I chose him. I’m also happy to have benefited from his vast experience. It was all awkward at first but as soon at I dealt with my own beliefs, I enjoyed every round. The sex was absolutely amazing!“We should do this more often,” he says, but I can’t make that promise. If the mate bond works as it should, this was enough to teach my stupid mate a lesson. “Can I close my eyes and sleep now?”I ask instead. He chuckles and pulls me closer into his arms. I honestly had no idea that sex can be so exhausting. “Sweet dreams, Baby girl,” he says charmingly and plants a kiss on my forehead. A few minutes later, I hear a knock and Terrence’s unmistakable voice call
*Abi POV*Titan sniffs me and my heart sinks. I try to run my hand on his fluffy fur but he backs away and sprints upstairs. “Titan!” I shout, running behind him, but he is too fast. I walk into my bedroom in time to see him pulling down the bed covers, exposing the unmistakable blood stained sheets. “Titan,” I call to him softly. This was not meant to hurt him but Omario. I want to explain this to him but I can feel his heart which was pounding a few minutes ago, fading right before he drops on the floor. “Titan!”I rush to his side, tears already streaming down my cheeks. “Titan, please wake up.”“He is being a drama queen because I shut him out,” Nina links. “You what?”“Hey! He has to know that you are my human and that idiot is his. He can’t just be here a…”It now makes sense why Titan has not been talking to me like he usually does. “You were no where all this time I was going through hell and Titan was there. You had no fucken’ right blocking him!” I yell at Nina. I can’
*Omario POV*By the time Terrence arrives in Abi’s massive double story house, I’m going crazy and so weak I can even stand on my own. I get why she’s doing this but, I’m hoping and praying that it’s a dildo. I know that I have no right being jealous after the decisions I’ve made, she’s my mate and I can’t help it. I want to get on my knees and cry when we finally arrive and Abi shows up with just a towel on. I can smell another men’s scent on her. It was not a dildo. I can even smell her blood, she lost her virginity to another man. Somehow Titan is making sure that the scent stays on my nostrils and it hurts like hell. As if I am not hurting enough, this guy comes down with only towel wrapped on his waist. He might be hot for a human but he’s nothing compared to me. Abi knows this which leads me to the conclusion that she definitely did this to hurt me. It takes every self-control from me to not pounce at him. The fear of turning into my dad is what keeps me back. “You pushed her,
*Abi POV*It’s been twenty days and I have not slept a wink. Titan remains unconscious and I still have no clue how to help him. I have cried so much my tears have even run out. Nina tells me that she has not been able to communicate with Titan at all. Prophet Rufus says he’s never seen anything like it and so are his counterparts in other packs. Terrence and Luna Nala walk in and look sympathetically at me. I have gotten used to the look now. All the former fellow servants who come to visit all give me this look. “How’s everything in the kingdom?” I ask before they ask me the same depressing question if I have figured out a way of getting my mate back. I have asked the two of them to overlook things because I can’t concentrate on anything right now. “It’s all well but the elders want to set the date for your ceremony,” Terrence responds. “They will have to wait.”I have not even decided if I want to take such a huge responsibility. “They want the date,” Luna Nala says but does
