MIA’S POV “No, he’s not! What Davon meant was freed of, ah, poverty? Yeah, that’s exactly it!” I reasoned, stuttering. “We should go to the table.” “Wait, you said this is his first time to celebrate his birthday. We should take a picture!” Aunt Criselda took out his phone. Theo quickly offered his. “That is beautiful! Send that to me,” Aunt Criselda requested. Theo wasn’t sure what to do and turned to me. I nodded, and he sent us all the pictures. “Enough with the pictures. The food is getting warm,” Grandma urged. We followed her to the dining room and were amused seeing all the food. I didn’t know cornbread was his favorite next to meat. “Did you make all these?” Davon was drooling with all the food. “We did. It’s not much, but I hope you like it,” I said. “Are you kidding me? This is perfect! Thank you so much, Mia!” Davon hugged us all. Aunt Criselda and Grandma were happy that Davon appreciated our effort and praised him for having such a good soul. While eating, Theo gav
NIXON'S POV The howl. It was calling us like we were subject to his obedience. My pack was bewildered, and so was I. The desperation penetrated our souls, and we ended up shifting, howling to empathize. "Alpha, where is that howl coming from?" Rendel came abruptly to my house. He was still naked from shifting, and so was I. We all felt entitled to join that cry. "I don't know. Rally our men and find out who made the wolf cry." "Yes, Alpha," Rendel obliged and left with the rest of the hunters in our pack. I immediately phoned Dad and told him about the howl. He was skeptical about it and wanted to find the werewolf who made the sound before he conferred the matter to the King. Dad doesn't want to do that as much as possible. Unsolved issues mean incompetence or negligence. "When did it happen, son?" "Right now, just before I call. Dad, that howl was frightful. We are being compelled. I don't feel that way, not even to the King." "Stop saying that, son! Are you implying
MIA'S POV "We have common friends. Jeffrey, what are you doing here?" Mom looked shocked, seeing the guy, "Mia, can you leave us a minute." "But Mom!" I whined. The guy just went to her hospital room and acted weird. What am I supposed to think? Of course, he's either a killer or a kidnapper. "Mia, please." I went to my room. It wasn't just the guy I was worried about, but also Jaret. If he comes home and sees them, his psycho mind goes jealous and beats my Mom. This situation is where I needed Davon's strong senses so I could spy on them. Mom didn't just meet Jeffrey through a friend; she knew him that much. Her face turned pale seeing him. "No! That's final," I heard Mom say. After half an hour of waiting in my room, I saw Jeffrey Henderson leave. I hurried downstairs and asked my Mom. "You don't want to know, Mia," Mom started to the stairs. "Oh, I want to know, Mom. That guy is here for a reason, and you know why. Tell me. I'm not going to let it pass. I will just keep aski
MIA'S POV This is not good. Vera is coming! What am I going to do? She's going to find out about Davon and lock him up again. I need to find a way. I rode on my bike and speeded to Theo's house. He and Davon were playing basketball in the backyard when I came. Theo was teaching Davon the different kinds of sports played by a human. "Davon, we have a problem. Cheska dropped by my house. Her Aunt Vera is coming tomorrow. She's inviting her best friends to introduce us to her aunt for lunch! What are we going to do?!" "We are so screwed. Davon, pack your bags. It would be best if you leave this town now," Theo wiped his sweat and dressed. "What? Where would he go, Theo? Davon doesn't know any place but this town. He'll get lost!" I reasoned, but because it's true. "I don't know! Do you want to give him back to that evil witch, Mia? He'll be a prisoner forever. We need to let him go," Theo rebuffed. It shocked me that this day was coming sooner than we all expected. No, I'm not read
MIA'S POV "Davon, please, can you hear me? Come back! Please don't leave me! Come back to me, please!" My mind bleeds with shouting. Davon could hear my thoughts, but I couldn't listen to him, and it was frustrating. Riding on my bike, I drove fast to catch him by the cove, the last place exiting our town, and stopped to look around. I checked on the tracks but couldn't determine if it was Davon. "Damn it! He got his phone!" I suddenly remembered to call him, "Oh, God, Davon! Where are you?" "At the bay walk." "Bay walk? Why didn't you leave?" "I couldn't leave you, Mia. We could figure this out together." "Just hang in there. I'm on my way!" If I could fly, I would get to Davon instantly. My feet feel light, and I am pedaling fast. Ignoring the exhaustion and the pain in my mid-calf. Davon sat at the bay walk, staring afar, parching at the sun. My heart leaps out with joy seeing him. He already knew I was approaching and stood facing me. "Davon!" I jumped off my bike and ran
MIA'S POV Bonded for life. Davon and I are officially mates. He explained it before, but I wasn't sure how it worked. As far as Lycan law was concerned, I am now his partner—a wife without a legal declaration to human law. Marked. Based on my understanding, the sex sealed our bond. At least, that is how it sounds to me. Davon made it clear when he became overly protective. And since we worked in the same place, he could watch over me. Davon also mentioned Nixon and warned me to avoid him. He would not hesitate to retaliate if he and his friends did something. According to him, I belong to him, and he belongs to me. No other man could ever touch me or face his wrath. "Mia? Mia!" Cheska shook my chair. I've been daydreaming about Davon and me and didn't notice she called my name, "You are not in yourself again. Okay, spit it out. What's bothering you?" "Me?" "Is there any other Mia here? Of course, I'm talking to you!" "Oh, no, nothing bothering me. I was just thinking about ahhh
MIA'S POV "Nixon, stop!" Davon and Nixon fought each other. They were like angry animals, wrestling for prey. Pacifying them was impossible without getting hurt. I kept my distance, screaming to wean them, but none of them was listening. "Will you two stop it!" "Holy shit! What the fuck is going on?" Theo, fortunately, came by to clarify what happened to Cheska. He called and heard me screaming. Perhaps the answer button was pressed inside my pocket when I ran towards the two. "Theo, cut them out!" "What am I supposed to do?" Theo called out their names before the cops came and arrested them. They broke away, which gave me a chance to meddle. "If you two don't stop, I'm going to call the police right now!" Davon held his ground, but Nixon started growling and removing his clothes. "Nixon, what are you doing?" Irish and Nixon's friend suddenly showed up and stood behind him, holding a pair of clothes. They anticipated it already. "Alpha, control yourself!" Rendel admonished h
NIXON’S POVMia has another mate, a Lycan King. How was that possible when I knew she was mine? And where did he come from?“Alpha, are we going to tell your father about that Lycan?” “What was that, Rendel?” I was in deep thought and didn’t hear him clearly, entering my house. “Rendel was saying that we should tell Faustus about the Lycan King,” Irish interrupted, overtaking me to get inside. “No! Father cannot know about him. At least not yet. We need to know where he came from and why he’s here.”“How? He vanished!” Irish raised her hands, “He’s got some sort of magic.”“Was he even real?” Ecko chimed in. I know he was real. I felt it. The only person who could enlighten us is Mia. She knows exactly where he came from if he was the same guy who saved Mia. “What I’m concerned about is that he is a Lycan King, but we already have one. We can’t have two kings!” Irish was confused, as we all did. No one expected another Lycan King.“I will get to the bottom of this. Rendel, Ecko, f
