EpilogueStefan's pov...Its been a few months after that dreaded war with the dark witch.We'd realised when we came to, that they had tried to attack us in the hall where we slept.They had created distractions, started a war at the palace and sent more men to attack us at the western region.But we prevailed and the second Sonaya killed the witch.Her control over the minds of the warriors abd other citizens of the kingdom, instantly dissipated.I hold my mate and watch her as she sleeps.It feels like decades ago when I was determined to harm her, fir something she had no control over.The women have finally began to conceive.The grounds are gradually becoming fertile again. These occurrences are making me wonder if Eli and his mother had, bern involved in this as well.I have had yo double check and reconsider everything Eli Ragnar ever told me.Sometimes, i just cant wrap my head around the millions of opportunities theybmust have had to kill me.But they didn't because they
Sonaya Lockhart …I was visibly shaking, I knew that the man from earlier on, had called for me and I was most likely to be his whore tonight. My life as I know it would be totally gone, once that happens. The room had a plush thick rug, it was light grey, it felt better than anything I remember ever sleeping on.The bed was so big, three big alphas could comfortably sleep on it.One entire wall of the room was made of dark glass that overlooked the entire city at night.The veiw was beautiful and breathtaking, but I couldn’t really enjoy it or appreciate it, considering my current situation.There is nothing I can say or do that would change this course I am currently on. Mother had warned me to be ready for this.At that time I thought I was, but right now I would rather die than to be taken like a whore or touched by that slithering snake of a man. His looks have absolutely no effects on me, I couldn’t care less if he was a god himself.All I know is whoever touches me tonight,
Sonaya’s pov… “My king !!” the alpha said loudly, shock evident in his voice. My heart stopped beating for a second. The kin-gg?, the freaking king of Lygion? What was he doing here? Is he planning to join the alpha or save me? Oh goddess, Whose slave was I? I thought frantically in my mind. I was definitely going to die tonight, and there was no saving me this time. I could feel it in my bones. I began to hyperventilate and say my last prayers when I noticed that the atmosphere had changed. And No. It wasn’t the dark, suffocating aura, one would expect with a king in the room, rather it was soothing, too soothing if you ask me, but.. Suddenly, my nose twitched as the tantalizing scent of fresh pine and sweet musk, filled my nostrils. It instantly eroded my senses and my mouth watered. What’s happening to me?I wondered in my head.Could this be what I think it is? The king.., My..
FIVE DAYS AGO .... Sonaya Lockhart ... Birthday eve. Angry growls and fearful screams woke me up from my slumber. But it was dark all around me. The kind of darkness only a terrible storm can produce."Mama !! mama!! mama !!"I cried out in fear, calling out for my grandmother, but I got no answer, only angry growls closing in on me.Fear slammed into me, I was breathing heavily almost paralysed by my fear. My fear had tripple doubled, panic was now setting in.I quickly got out of bed and raced to the hallway of the tiny one bedroom flat nana and I shared.The darkness was forbidden.It was so so dark, eerily dark and quiet.I couldn't even see my feet.What the heck? I questioned in my head. I screamed as a ferocious growl came from the dark hallway,I was standing in.Oh my goddess, but it sounded way too close, to be anything good, perspiration dampened my skin, making my palms clammy.A small breeze whooshed past me, it felt like the beast was circling me, getting ready for
Sonaya ... I was breathing heavily, like I’d just ran a sprint, as I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the sleeves of my old sweater.The sweat tripled even though I felt cold inside, grandma handed me our only towel to clean up the sweat as it ran down in rivulets over my forehead and neck.My chest and back suddenly soaked in sweat.These exact same things happened last year and as expected after a few minutes I was back to normal again.No sweat, no cold . Mother smiled at me. I smiled back.I call her different names, grandma, mama, mother or by her name willow."Let's play some cards to distract ourselves and you from the pain or discomfort." She said as she returned the rest of the salt to its container in the middle of the table.We played till midnight and nothing happened.So we packed up the cards and went to bed. We live in a tiny two room apartment in an old building.It's a big building that houses a lot of paupers and miscreants from the south.It's what we can aff
Alpha Derrick Brooks.I was suddenly thrust into a very dark room and my Lycan sight couldn't help me here, because I couldn't see anything.It made me freaking uneasy."Hello." I called out only to hear my voice echo through whatever this place was.Then I heard muffled screams.I moved towards it and saw her.She was young and so damn pretty even through her snot and tears, obvious distress and pain. But her beauty was undeniable, she was the kind of beauty that would make a man, forget about his mate and mate bond, just to have a taste of her.I moved closer and closer to her, trying to find the source of her distress, pain and tears, but then she suddenly disappeared and I was dragged out of the dream.It felt like I was being pushed of a cliff.I shot up straight in bed sweating, I looked outside my window and the mother of all ice storms had just began to rage.What in the goddess's name is the meaning of this?I asked myself.It was almost impossible and inconceivable that any
Sonaya Pov. At the end of my shift, the next day, I was totally exhausted, the lack of sleep didn't help, but I couldn't afford to miss work. Just as I was about to make my way to the cashier's area to line up for payment.Someone grabbed my arm, pulled me into a corner, and straight through to the dark underbelly of the factory.It was so fast I didn't have the time to scream, besides I'd screamed way too much last night, my vocal chords were practically non-existent right now. But I had a pretty good idea who it might be.I couldn't see her face but the faint scent of cinnamon let me know who it was.Mother!" Ma you stopped me from getting in line fast enough, now we'll have to wait longer to get payment before we head home." I grumbled." Don't worry about that Naya, I have collected our payments, we need to leave now and head home, let's go straight out and hurry. I'll meet you at the gate." She said and the next thing I heard was the echo of her flats as she walked away from m
Sonaya pov….Shit shit shit !!I was most definitely in deep shit.I was struggling to breathe, his hand was wrapped tightly around my neck.I couldn’t believe that I was back in the living room.I had been caught, but how ?And by the alpha of all people.How can this happen?The portal was just beside me. It should be impossible for him to catch me, he was sitting all the way across me on the other side of the table.I had spent some time and practiced with the wolves here in the rejects, the ones that had speed, and I was very fast, I even beat them at times.So no, it had never occurred to me that I could get caught.But I had been caught and dragged back to the same living room I’d tried to escape from some seconds ago.Unbelievable.This is bad, really bad.His hands were so big, they were wrapped tightly around my neck, just as the portal closed and disappeared, taking my only escape plan with it.My lungs were hurting pretty bad, it felt like it was on a slow burn.My air supp
