ELVA'S POV It was the eve of Demian's wedding. The whole place was swarming with guests walking about. As festive creatures, we cooked a lot of food and served wine at all ceremonies. The aroma of spices danced into people's noses as they walked about. Many of them who were visiting Demian's pack for the first time took their time exploring the place. Darian was quite occupied, helping out with the preparation of many things for the wedding. I had thought I'd get to spend some private moments with him, but it turned out to be the opposite. I decided to walk around and maybe get to meet some new friends. There were lots of beautiful Lunas attending the wedding. I could make friends with one or two of them. There was no harm in a trial. As I walked along a lonely corridor in the backyard which was poorly illuminated, I felt my temperature rising again, my heart beating in an unimaginable pattern. It made me want to purge and I quickly ran to a toilet immediately. When I got into
DARIAN'S POV "Who the fuck are you?" I asked the guy who stumbled upon Elva and I making out. "Are you daft?" He countered, "We just met some minutes ago. Well, first of all, get away from her!" His voice was challenging, showing that he was entirely serious about what he had just said. Get away from Elva? For what? Who did he think he was? "Elva, come over here," he stretched an arm toward Elva, "come back to me and don't get used by someone lecherous werewolf." "Who the hell is this guy?" I quickly turned and asked Elva. But she ignored me and faced the guy instead. "Enough of this madness, Nolan!" She thundered, "I don't have anything to do with you anymore!" At this point, I was entirely lost. I had never seen Elva with this man or even perceived his scent once. "Is he one of the men you tried to marry when I was serving?" I asked her, thim in a soft tone. "No," she answered, turning back to me, "this is Nolan Blackwell, my former fated mate who broke our bond without lo
ELVA'S POV After breakfast the next morning, I noticed that the nausea which I had been feeling due to Nolan's presence back then at the party had vanished. Smiling had been very difficult for me until this morning. Lu and his mate had been so clingy since the previous night. They rarely came out of his room. I wondered if he had already claimed her or if he was waiting to get to know her well enough before doing that. Darian had woken up very late. He was coming down for breakfast when I was racing up the stairs to get back to my room. He was wearing a furry brown coat, with his hands tucked into the pockets of the coat. The morning was chilly to some extent, but since I got up from the bed and ran around the castle, I'd felt warmer. "Good morning!" I hugged him. His arms slid out of his pockets, going down my waist and circling around it, and then he pulled me closer. "You're lighting up the world with your smile this morning, Elva," he said, his affectionate gaze buried dee
DARIAN'S POV"Hey, hey! Calm down now, okay? Drop the knife, please. Slowly, slowly…" I gradually approached Melinda, Lucius' mate."You too!" She screamed at me, "Get any closer and I'll kill myself!"She raised the knife to her neck, her grip unwavering."Oh no. Elva, do something about this," I whispered.Neither Elva nor I had found out that the cause of the aggressive situation between the two couples who were meant to be having one of the best moments of their lives.Elva closed her eyes and in what felt like ten seconds, Melinda fainted. Lucius caught her before she could fall to the floor.Before we could even ask what happened, he muttered, "No one told me she had psychological issues."At this, Elva's eyes popped with disbelief. "What!"I found a sachet of pills in her purse which seemed to be something she should be taking frequently."Look," he snuck his hands into his pocket and brought out a sachet of pink tablets of medicine.Elva's mum rushed over and took it from him.
DARIAN'S POV I was taking a walk in the garden lost in thoughts. Thank God I've patched things up with Elva just thinking about us fighting made me scared of how our relationship would turn out I hate Nolan for everything that happened between us, but I am also thankful to him for rejecting her otherwise she wouldn't be mine which made her here with me today. I was still thinking about it when I heard footsteps. I turned to the direction it was coming from and I saw Elva come towards me with a sweet smile on her face. She looked even more beautiful under the moonlight with her pink nightwear and robe. "Hey my beautiful princess, you look stunning," I asked, bringing her towards me. She came to hug me slipping her hands around my waist and circling it while making me lower my head to kiss her. She pulled me closer to her body and I hugged her. "So, you wanna tell me why you're out here all by yourself this late at night?" She asked, " I was just having a little fresh air th
DARIAN'S POV I always suspected you were hiding something from me and tonight just proved it. " What are you hiding from me, and why won't you let me mark you?" I asked angrily " It's not like I don't want you to mark me, it's just that I can't let you mark me." She said looking sad. " Why?" I asked. " I can't tell you " " You can't or you won't?" I asked, looking even more angry. " I don't know, I just can't say it," she said. " What am I to you then?" I said out of frustration " Hum?" she said looking confused " What am I to you?" I repeated the question again. " You are my lover," she answered with a confused face " Then why won't you let me mark you? And why won't you tell me what you are hiding, I have the right to know!"I said. She stayed silent and turned to the other side of the bed, sitting on the edge using the blanket to cover herself. I was already boiling in anger, I got up, took my clothes from the ground, wore it, and stormed out of her room. I went straig
ELVA's POV "He should have died there that night," Darian said with anger. " I am sorry, what!" I looked surprised at what he said. He said that looking so angry, I just kept staring at him like an idiot. " Now you know why I didn't let you mark me, well you can't mark me until the mate bond is broken," I said feeling hopeless and looking sad. " Your mother seems concerned about you," he said all of a sudden. " My mother?" I said looking confused. " Yes, she had called me earlier to the throne room to talk about us not getting married, and letting our younger ones marry before us". " Really?"I said looking surprised. " Yes, she said that she wanted the family to continue its culture of the elder ones getting married before their young ones," he said We both went silent for a while until he said, "Why didn't your mate bond break?" " I don't know," I said feeling frustrated. " Then ask your wolf," " I actually haven't thought of that," I said, feeling like a fool. " Ruya" I
ELVA's POV"Wait, why should I be the one to take her out?" I asked out of confusion." Apart from me you are the only person that can cope with her mental illness," he said with a pleading voice." Okay, so what are we going to do there together?" I said, sounding like a fool. I mean what do people do in festival periods, I thought to myself even sounding like a bigger fool." You know what, let me check my schedule first," I slapped myself instantly after saying that." Sis, please help me out here, I have a meeting in another kingdom," Lucius kept begging me and I finally agreed to do it.And he started dancing around the room like a baby that was just given a piece of candy.I have never seen him so happy like this before, I thought to myself while smiling at him." Hey, you already took your bath and dressed up but look at me, I am still in my nightgown and feeling dirty," I said with a poker face.He laughed and apologized for keeping me waiting and watching him dance around t
