SIERRA"Aww! Look at those mates. Don't they just look so cute. The Princess is so in love with her mate. It seems they can't keep their hands off each other. How romantic!" gushes Alexandria as she comes and stands beside me admiring the couple in front of us.I am standing in the meeting hall, on the far corner of it. All my friends are now in the front row seats, being witness to their prince and friend getting claimed and I am all alone here.Alexandria knows that the sight is hurting me as Fenris pulls in his new mate beside him to bestow a kiss in her hair, murmuring something close to her ears. His new mate blushes and he laughs as he tucks a stray strand of her hair behind her ears. They seem to be in their own bubble, not at all worried about the eyes of the fellow wolves and Alphas.It is their mating ceremony, however, I heard that they've already marked each other and they look so happy with each other. So, in love. I am all alone without him at my side. I lost my chance o
SIERRATalia spots me and I wait for her as she makes way through the sea of trainees. "I see you are patched up," she says waving at my wrist. I grimace and nod as she observes me."I give you two days to rest. Till then you are supposed to read and gather information about any royals in any or all books in the library," she orders me and I have no other option than to nod."Why the royals?" I ask, curious."Elder Alarick told me to do the work but I am passing it out to you, looking at your condition," she says with a slight arch in her brow. I hold out my hands in surrender not wanting to piss off yet another senior."I will do it and then report to you.""You do that and then report back to elder Alarick. Wouldn't want to take credit for your work," she says and walks away growling orders at Kaden and Alexandria who are brawling on the floor with a huge audience. I roll my eyes at their fight for dominance. It has been this way since we were kids.~~~~~~~~~~"I hope you all studie
FENRIS+It has been a week since I started living in this house. Oddly, this small one-story house has started feeling more like home than Mystic Shadow ever was. Maybe because I feel the traces of my parent's imprints here. The traditional wood-burning fireplace in the living room helps in creating a soothing ambience. There is a couch and two arm chairs at equal distances facing the TV. Everything else is quite undisturbed here except for the TV and the kitchen. The changes were all done by Nora and Alcina. I was told to just walk in and settle in my new house."Come on. Dinner is ready," says Nora distracting me. No, they don't live here but we have decided to have dinner once a week so that we can get to know each other more and therefore, build better familial relationship. I readily agreed. If they are ready to know me better and make me feel welcome in their lives then who am I to say no?"Yeah. Where are your kids?" I ask."They went for a perimeter check you know to secure th
SIERRA"Why are you leaving early? The full moon's tomorrow." Tatiana asks nervously as we stand at the gates to bid farewell to Caliana and Lycidas.Instead of a car, Lycidas has a motorcycle. I never would have thought that the quiet and brooding Lycidas owns a motorcycle and surprisingly is quite fond of it. He straddles the monstrous vehicle and waits patiently for Caliana who is lecturing me about how I have just healed and shouldn't participate in anymore duels. I nod innocently and try to control the urge to roll my eyes at her motherly affection."Baby?" Lycidas calls her and I breathe a sigh of relief as he comes to my rescue. Caliana turns to look, no, glare at him for disturbing her rant and I wave my hands for him to take her away before she decides to give me anymore of her stifling lectures. Tatiana just chuckles watching the drama but I ignore her."In a minute! I am doing something important here!" exclaims Caliana pointing at me."And what would that be?" Lycidas asks
SIERRAI shiver when the man's eyes land on me. I move behind to hide but instead walk into something. Turning my head to look at it, I barely stifle a gasp when I look directly into the black eyes of none other than Amora.She smiles evilly at me, scaring me shitless. It feels like reliving my nightmare. How did she get here?"Come on, Princess," she cackles and grabs my arm in a death grip, almost bruising me and I gasp at the suddenness of it. I try to loosen her hold but she me. I don't move my legs but that doesn't stop her as she drags me with her. All the while, I struggle to break free of her hold but then stop when I hear my name.I whip my head to look into Fenris's shocked gaze as he stares at me. He stands still for only a second and then his expression changes from shock to blazing anger as starts walking in my direction. I only now look at the girl standing behind him who stops my mate from coming to me. She's the same one, whom Fenris was engrossed with, during the cere
FENRIS"You cannot go there, Fenris. Your mate's safe for the time being. Focus on Xanthos, he's dangerous to her," Alcina whispers behind me. I do not take my eyes off my mate, afraid that she'll vanish in the blink of an eye. I take a step back reluctantly, gritting my teeth to control my fangs from slipping free.Xanthos's cruel and rough handling of my mate are driving me insane. I clench my fists; my wolf's constant rage is fuelling my anger and Sierra's fear and her scared eyes are tipping me off the edge. I can't keep the growls from slipping from my throat."Shall we start the fight? First one to submit, dies and the winner will be the King." Xanthos smirks and I want to do nothing else but to wipe off that shit-eating smirk off his face. He's going to pay for laying his filthy hands on my mate.I shift into my wolf and in no time, we start the duel. I know at some point Xanthos will cheat but I wait patiently for him to make the first move. He doesn't make me wait long when h
FENRISWashing off the fresh blood from my shoulders and hips, I barely wince at the pain from the wounds, debating about the problem of my mate's heat. It feels like fate has taken the decision out of our hands and tossed this heat thing to speed up our mating. I can't see her in pain like that and I wouldn't be able to stop myself if I go near her, her scent calls out to something primitive in me, and then I will lose my temper when she accuses me of rape.I can almost see all the images dancing in front me.A knock on the bathroom door startles me from my thoughts and quickly I grab the towel from the rack, covering myself just in time as the door opens. Fuck! I forgot to lock the door.She stands just inside the bathroom in my shirt which is torn from the sleeves. Her pants seem to have disappeared."The pants feel like ants crawling on my skin so I removed them," she answers my unasked question maybe because I am staring at her never ending smooth looking legs. I look up to see a
FENRIS"We were told to follow Master Xanthos. Master Xavier knew about his plans and just wanted us to keep an eye out for him, to save him if he was in trouble," speaks the rogue, who's bathed in the stench of fear and disgust.I grunt at his answer and control myself from ripping his throat off or rather to cut off his dick which twitched when he looked at my mate. I have been sitting here for almost an hour, interrogating this bastard who's keeping me from returning back to my mate. I sigh and shake my head at the stubbornness of this rogue. He just won't co-operate."What was my mate injected with?" I try again hoping that he would answer now at least."The witch made a potion to artificially trigger her heat. Master told her to inject your mate only when master Xanthos was winning. You spoiled our plan by tricking master Xanthos." The rogue finishes his sentence, and it takes all of my control from thrashing him. Xavier and his psychotic plans. They are more dangerous when he in
