Xynathius's POVKarica was full of surprises, her body movements were so fluid and I had never seen anyone dance like her. It made me want her more, ache for her more. She clung to me in a passionate fury and it dawned on me that I wasn't the first man she must have done such a sensual dance with. None of her firsts were with me. Not the intimacy, not the dance, and not even her first kiss. A surge of jealousy coursed through me like a river of pain. But the heat of the moment had doused her senses and she tried to kiss me the very instant. Physically we had been burning for each other, mostly I couldn't even control myself and Zilver always made the situation even more difficult. But where did we stand in terms of owning each other in all other aspects? Had she completely forgotten Adiyan? Was she ready to accept me as her mate? Most importantly was she in love with me? Because I only wanted to kiss her when she was sure of her feelings on all levels. A kiss was sacred for me an
Karica's POVXynathius's anger scared me to my bones. He possessed such a brutal force. Alpha Romero appeared to be a strong and rugged Alpha but my mate had floored him with a single punch. He deserved it for pushing his mate towards another man like that. He didn't seem to care about her in the slightest. It saddened my heart. "You should stay for a while more, at least for dinner," Queen Shaline insisted but Xynathius was in a terrible mood. "Next time sister. I need to breathe away from all this. I can't stand him and don't want any more drama," Xynathius insisted, he wanted to leave. She hugged us both, making us promise to visit them again. We took our leave and headed to the car. It had gotten even colder outside. We reached our car and settled inside to head back. Xynathius was fuming, his head was turned away from me. First I tried to kiss him when he clearly didn't want me to and then this mess. No wonder he was furious. I wanted to apologise but didn't know how to sta
Romello's POVMy master had given me the task of finding everything about that girl, Karica. Hacking the site was a hassle and I couldn't just contact our informant in the Warbringer Pack. I didn't want the person to be exposed for snooping around too much. There was a bigger game at play and we needed to win. Vampires avoided other supernatural creatures, they preferred seclusion, cold and dark. Western Continent was known for its long nights and cold weather. It was located in such a place that it experienced lengthy nights which stretched to months. Fewer people lived in the Western Continents. Lycans and werewolves were nonexistent here but we had witches and other supernatural creatures which preferred dark like hell hounds and wendigos. They were our constant companions. I spoke to a hacker and he agreed to help me by hacking into the Mate Fusion program website and extracting the required information. He asked for a few days to encrypt the code of their website, sneak in and
Karica's POVI was over the moon at how this evening turned out to be. Letting me talk to my family and opening up to me about his feelings and fears showed me his vulnerable side. We were communicating, opening up to each other. This was a good sign. "Here, I hope you had a pleasant evening. Sorry about Romero though, I will ensure he is severely punished," he stood in my doorway, his arm holding his coat, and other hand in his pocket. He was too perfect to be true. "I had a wonderful time, thank you for letting me talk to my family," I held the bouquet he had given me earlier. I had left it in the car and grabbed it when we exited. We were standing facing each other at arm's length. "You can talk to them whenever you feel like and once the situation is a bit settled I will take you to meet them," his words brought me immense joy and I wanted to hug him in that instant. My hands itched to touch him again but I stood my ground. "I would appreciate it," I swiped back a stray lock f
Xynathius's POVThe idea of taking her blood annoyed me. I didn't want to see her blood being drawn. "Is it utmostly necessary?" I asked in exasperation. "Yes! I need to know which element is the most compatible with her powers and which ones she can control. I can only do that through blood testing," she explained, picking up a wooden spindle from amongst the witchy devices she had arranged on the table. "It's ok, go ahead," Karica folded the rest of her fingers and extended her index one towards her. She instantly pricked it deep drawing her crimson blood and I felt the prick as if the spindle was jabbed in my finger and not hers. She didn't even flinch, just watched as Arasia began to collect her blood in a glass container. The process seemed to take a long so she kept pressing my fate's finger, drawing more blood and annoying me with every single compressing movement. "Isn't it enough? How much more do you need?" I finally asked, annoyance visible in my voice. My fists were
Karica's POVI practised for hours with Arasia. She taught me how to control my breathing and feel the surge of energy inside of me. How to remain relaxed, focus and channel it. She wanted me to work with the element air first because I had already used that once. Air is all around us, using it as a weapon would be easier than other elements. But after hours of trying I still couldn't even make a small swirl of wind on my hand as Arasia was trying to teach me. It was frustrating and I grunted in annoyance. "It's your first time and you have just learned about it, don't fret and take your time. Let's take a break and we will continue from here tomorrow," she emphatically patted my shoulder and I sighed but agreed. We spoke to the warrior stationed outside and he said he would take me to the packhouse. I followed him as we were passing the training grounds. I heard a low growl and my head turned in the direction. It was Zilver and he was galloping towards me at maximum speed. What
Xynathius's POVI had to plead and put some sense into Zilver, it would be an understatement to say he was pissed. 'Why can't I show my adoration for her in front of the pack? When are you going to stop being a di*khead and announce her as your mate in front of the pack?' he protested while I stood under the shower. The hot water trailed down my back. 'When she will be ready to accept us. She is not and I am done forcing her,' I countered but Zilver didn't understand. He thought she was as smitten by us as we were by her. He kept growling painfully in my head on purpose as if everything was my fault. 'Shut it, Zilver. You are being a bloody prick right now,' I scolded him, turning off the shower. I needed to go see her or he wouldn't stop, maybe spend some time with her and take her for a run. Getting dressed, I found the smoothie Tacy had left me. Downing it in one go I quickly made my way to Melsine's room. As I neared I could hear cackling from inside. The girls were enjoying
Karica's POVOne second Laila was enjoying Zilver's hugs and warmth, I was just relaxed watching them snuggle. Next, she shifted and left me naked in Zilver's arms. He watched me with such affection-filled eyes, his coarse tongue licked my lips as if he wanted to taste them before he shifted too and now I was staring into my mate's passionate but bewildered ebony orbs. I shivered from the cold and the surge of emotions that travelled through my uncovered body. And he drew me near to his heat. His steely chest squished my soft one, his arms entangled around my back and waist. "Sorry for that, seems like our wolves had ulterior motives," he spoke in a leisurely manner, his warm breath keeping the cold at bay from my face. My cheeks burned at our position while he struggled to control his rugged breathing which was coming in pants now. His stiff organ poked my inner thigh, sending little sparks of pleasure all over. "Yeah, they are cheeky," I reached out to touch his face with my rig
