Daciana's pov.I squinted my eyes, at the ray of sun which seeped its way through the curtain blinds to my face. Using my hand, I tried blocking off the excess ray, as I stretched a yawn on my bed.Memories of the night before came rushing back, as a smile played on my lips, while I recalled every single detail of the steamy sex I had with my mate last night. The memory of my soft skin under his gentle caress as he trailed his warm hands along my body, while I gently moaned his name out in ecstasy filling me with pure bliss and happiness I hadn't felt since forever. His scent was strong, intoxicating. It smelled like the forest after a storm and the freshness that fills up one's senses after taking a breath of fresh air. His presence made me feel safe in a way not even Eden could. Speaking about my mate, I turned over to the other side where I felt he lay, to see it empty. I frowned, confused. Yesterday was ethereal, almost perfect, perfect even, I know I made the first move, so
Daciana’s povMy vision blurred with tears as I rushed back to my room.I shut my door, and fell on my bed, sobbing into it. The pain was a lot more than physical pain. My heart ached. I should have gotten used to not being accepted due to my former marriage, but I still, my heart still clenched painfully at the fact that my mate's mother didn't want me and it seemed like my mate was not so concerned about it.I closed my eyes praying for sleep to take over, hoping that my nightmares don't return back this time.With time, I drifted off.I found myself in a beautiful beach, but no one else around except me. The sun shone brightly against my skin and I felt the warm breeze blowing around us. It was quite pleasant. I smiled as I felt his arms wrap around me, letting me lean back on his hard well sculptured chest, feeling him press kisses all over my face, neck, shoulders... everywhere. When he leaned down kissing me passionately in my mouth, I wrapped my hands around his waist, pullin
Daciana's pov.I woke up with a start and sat up abruptly in bed. The sheets felt warm, like someone had been in bed with me, or was I imagining it? Flashes of the dream I had came to mind, as my face redden in embarrassment.But then, it felt so real, I thought, as I could still feel the moistness in between my legs and a tingly feeling, as though the sex wasn't just in the dream but had happened real.Then, my sharp senses caught on a scent, which scented exactly like Arnou’s, still lingering in my room. That was odd, I don’t remember him coming over after last night, or even after breakfast when I ran in here.Speaking of breakfast, my stomach growled in hunger as I tried sitting up straight on my bed. For some reason, I felt extremely drained but at the same time good.I checked the time at my bedside to see that it was already half a day gone. With a sigh, I got to my feet and made my way to the bathroom.It was only midafternoon. I would have plenty of time to relax and get p
Daciana’s povI ignored the pointed glares I got from both mother and daughter, as I made my way into the dining room with Alpha Arnou.I was more than grateful for the fact that it was just us with no other party attending dinner today.I gave them both a smile, ignoring their more intense glares, getting hold of myself so as to not bust out laughing, as I had imagined two tiny devil horns on their heads and fumes puffing out their ears and nostrils in a funny way, as I took my seat right beside the Alpha, with his mother directly before me and his sister, after her. The little devils were still growling at me.Not long after, the doors from the kitchen opened up, revealing the maids who carried with them food trays of various dishes.They placed down the plates one by one, all without much fanfare, and I could already feel my stomach rumbling, anticipating all of the tasty smells. “I was about to dig in, when the entrance door flew open, revealing an over-excited Lilian who was bar
Daciana's pov.“Your bath is ready.” Arnou said to me, as he he stood by the bathroom doorway, staring at me with concern. He was standing very still, his eyes boring into mine intently. His lips were pressed together in a thin line of worry.I scruffed to my feet, making my way to the bathroom. “Yeah, thanks.” I said softly as I stepped inside, shutting the door behind me. My hands were shaking from nervousness as I undressed, and I took a shaky breath as I slipped out of my clothes. The room smelled like lavender, the scent felt a bit soothing, as I stepped into the bathtub, which was filled halfway with steaming water. I sighed gratefully, letting myself sink under the hot water.My body relaxed immediately after I sank down in the tub, letting myself be submerged up to my neck. I allowed my eyes to close for just a moment as the warm water massaged away all the tension in my body. A deep feeling of peace washed over me. I felt the tension leave my shoulders.I was so glad that A
Daciana's povIt's been over a month since I got here, and so far, so good, things had been going smoothly enough, well asides from the snide remarks and reactions I got from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, it still was very bearable, as each of us tried avoiding each other's part. Lillian had still been a maniac, coming around even when she wasn't needed by the Alpha, and I wondered when it'll get to her thick head that she wasn't wanted and give up already.As for the alpha, things had been going more smoothly with us and even though I knew it was only due to his duties as an alpha that he did tolerate me, it was extremely bearable and way better than when I was mates with Eden.The moon goddess had given me a chance for happiness and I was never going to sabotage it.I sluggishly got off my bed, to prepare for the training which the alpha had me in, just for basic fighting skills, in other that I can at least be able to defend myself when the need arises.I really didn't know
Arnou's pov.As I watched her sit up slowly, my mind played back to earlier.I just got back from my trip and was about to head to the kitchen when I noticed Daciana.I was about to show myself when I noticed her looking pale and was about to fall to the ground when I quickly grabbed her before she could fall to the ground. Her skin was unusually cold than usual. She seemed to be unconscious at that point and I panicked, rushing her to my own room as fast as my legs could carry me, as I mind-linked the pack doctor to come over soon.I carried her to my bedroom and placed her gently on the bed, as I leaned back against the wall, awaiting the pack's doctor.I watched as Daciana remained unconscious, as my heart began beating frantically, as the pack doctor made his way inside my room."What happened?" He asked, as he checked Daciana's vitals carefully. I swallowed nervously as I replied, "She fainted."The pack doctor nodded understandingly before giving his diagnosis, "Well, there se
Alpha Arnou watched his mate, Daciana, as she paced back and forth in front of the fireplace. She was restless, and it was making him uneasy. He knew that Daciana was only a few weeks into her pregnancy, but already she was experiencing the common symptoms - nausea, fatigue, and mood swings."Are you okay, my love?" Arnou asked, as he took her hand and led her to the couch."I'm fine," Daciana sighed, "I just feel so...blah. And hungry all the time."Arnou chuckled, "Ah, the infamous pregnancy cravings. What would you like to eat?"Daciana's eyes lit up, "Could you make me some spaghetti with lots of Parmesan cheese?""Of course, my dear," Arnou said with a smile, as he made his way to the kitchen.As he cooked, Arnou couldn't help but think about how his life was changing. He had always been a strong and confident alpha, but now he was going to be a father. He knew that with this new responsibility, he would have to learn to balance his pack duties with his family obligations.Dacian
