Myra
It had been too much for me. I let Akira take over, and we trotted out after Damian left. If he wanted me to beg him to let me stay then he was wrong. But the ache was like a constant reminder of my partial rejection. I focus on the running, the way my legs burned and the way the wind brushed against my fur.
The barrier rippled as soon as I dashed in, and heard someone shout my name. My ears perked up and the moment my head swivelled to the direction, a body barrelled into me. I belatedly realized it was Vi. Maybe because of the emotional roller-coaster I had gone through or otherwise, I felt my eyes well up.
She continued hugging me as she muttered nonsense under her breath, but I could detect that she was relieved and happy to see me. At least someone was. “Where have you been? Do you k
Things just got complicated ;)
MyraI shot up, feeling light-headed immediately. “What the hell are you doing here?” I asked him in disbelief. He grinned. All teeth as he casually perched on the side of my bed. My gaze flicked to the opened window sill and back to him. “I guess I am entitled to meet my mate even though she ran away,” he replied. His grin was intact on his lips. But his eyes said a whole different story. He was mad.I levelled him with a glare. “Well, someone made it clear that I was only a good fuck.” Damian for his part did not flinch or look remorseful. I don’t even know if he is capable of feeling emotions like these. But he rolled his eyes. “Why do you tend to misinterpret anything I say? Did I tell you that? I said it’s Andrew who wants us to stay apart until things cool down or I have them under control.
Myra“What?” I almost yelled. What the hell is he thinking? Damian quirked an eyebrow. “Why? You were mad because I suggested we live separately and now you are shocked.” He shook his head. “I can never understand what exactly goes through your mind.“If you live here then what will you tell your parents? What will you tell the High queen?” Andrew asked. I gaped at the man in disbelief. Was he considering this option? I can’t imagine what would happen if he started living here. Eric’s face flashed across my mind suddenly and my anxiety intensified.“My parents wouldn’t bother about my whereabouts,” he replied, pulling me out of my thoughts. I felt a slight twinge in my heart when I heard that. The emotion was fami
Myra I stared at the woman who appeared paler than Damian. The woman was looking at my mate in awe, and I am sure that tears would have rolled down her cheeks had she been human. Her silver eyes, however, conveyed more emotions than even a human was capable of. She remained standing at the doorway. I glanced at Damian, whose mouth was slightly agape. “You? Who are you?” he murmured, the almost inaudible question cutting through the silence. He looked intrigued, and that did not sit well. I echoed his question a little loudly. “Yes, who are you?” The woman smiled wanly. “I am…” She blinked and paused. “I am…” Her lips trembled as she leaned against the door frame. I saw Damian step forward, an aborted action as if to help her. I swallowed thickly. Damian’s earlier comments which
MyraI stared at Damian with shock and tried to understand if he was joking. But he looked absolutely serious and slightly troubled, if I daresay. I lowered my gaze. “I hope you are not making fun of me,” I muttered, voicing my doubt nonetheless.“Of course not. Why do you think I gawked at the woman, what was her name? Alex...Alex..”“Alexandra,” I supplied, feeling unreasonable warmth in my heart as he struggled to remember the name of the person whom he had just met not too long ago. I sighed. “So, what do you see?” I asked and maybe in any other case I would have felt weird, sharing something so odd with someone I hardly knew but somehow I didn’t feel like that.Damian
DamianMyra’s words still reverberated in my mind. I spent a restless night, not even going out to hunt. I paced in the room while she said she was going to be training with that girl whose name I have forgotten. If what she dreamed was the same as mine then it must have a reason. I left our room and walked to Andrew’s study. Even though I had said that we should wait, I was becoming restless.As I had hoped, he was in his study and was busy with work. “May I speak with you?” Andrew looked up from the document he was looking at and offered a benign smile. “Sure.” I entered and sat on the couch nearby. Before speaking, I willed the door to shut. This had Andrew’s eyebrows knit into a curve.“Do you know anything more about us than y
Talk about the devil and she appears. I wanted to snort at the ironic situation. But one look at Andrew and I felt the seriousness of the situation. I had never seen anyone turn pale so fast, but this time I did. Had I been a human with a beating heart, it certainly would have pounded dangerously in my ears. I stood up exactly at the same time as Andrew hurried to the door. “What do you mean? How did she find out?” His voice was agitated and this again was the first time I had seen him like this. He turned to me. “Do not go out of this study. I am sending Myra here and Violet and Jamie will be guarding this study.” There wasn’t any room for argument. With that, he rushed out of the study and Alexandra followed him. I paced in the room, frustrated that I couldn’t do anything and mad at being kept out of the loop as if I was a kid. Why was the High Queen here? How did she even get the i
Damian “You said it was not me,” I whispered. I stared at her, dumbfounded, as I watched her eyes glint with something...something malicious. One corner of her lips tilted up. She was standing mere inches away from me. “What did you think, Damian?” her voice sounded sympathetic as if she was trying to coax me into believing something, but her eyes spoke an entirely different story. I tried to piece out whatever happened that night and I tried to make sense of what was told to me after I woke up from slumbering for a long while. I tried to latch on to mother’s placating tone and her sweet words of reassurance; I remembered father’s firm conviction and my sister’s worried hovering. I shook my head. “You are lying.” The High Queen moved back, but not entirely from my personal space
Myra “Why are they taking so long?” I murmured again. Andrew had herded us away and asked Violet to take me to my room. Jamie and Brandon were asked to guard the door and Eric muttered to volunteer with them. “I guess he is arguing with that woman,” Vi retorted. I didn’t argue with that. It looked like Damian would argue. But why was he not returning? What the hell were they discussing? I restlessly swayed from left to right while sitting on the bed. Vi was lounging on the chair, her legs dangling. “Being restless won’t do any good.” I glanced at her, frowning. She was right, but my wolf was restless, a little too much and I couldn’t really calm her down. ‘Aki, what’s the matter?’ I asked her worriedly. She remained silent for a moment before mumbling, ‘I can sense our mate’s tr
