Daciana's pov.“I reject you as my mate and Luna!” His voice resounded in my head, as I felt my heart clench painfully due to the rejection from my mate. He said that without even a hint of remorse. His wolf was so cruel and cold. It made my insides twist and churn with anger and pain. But there wasn't any other choice. Even if I wanted to change his mind I couldn’t. It seemed long due already, for the past three years we were both in a lie of marriage. But it didn't stop it from being the most painful kind of pain I had ever felt. The rejection was worse than the pains I felt when he left my bed cold all three years long, or the emotional abuse he had caused me. It felt even worse than the pain I felt when I heard my sister moan my husband’s name in the study, worse than the pain of humiliation I felt, or the pain of the injury, the falls, and the slaps he landed on my face. The pain felt like a knife being plunged into my heart while my eyes burned. I held my chest in pain whi
Daciana's pov.“Mate?” Alpha Arnou's voice resounded in the hall, as gasps of shocks and low chattering were heard in the hall.I gazed back bewildered, wondering what sort of joke the moon goddess was playing with me, as I felt the strong mate bond towards the Alpha before me.I closed my eyes, awaiting the pain of rejection to suffice from the alpha, as I knew already, he wouldn't want a tramp like me.I let my eyes flutter open after some seconds of silence from the alpha and the whole hall. With my eyes still down, I tried to pull myself up from the ground, only to feel a firm hand on my shoulder stop me. My heart rate started speeding up with nerves and I opened my eyes to meet the stern gaze of the Alpha that the moon goddess had decided to use to make a complete mockery of me.His grey eyes bore into mine for a few seconds as he took in my state, before releasing his grip on my shoulder and pulling me upwards to my feet by my elbow. He then pulled me close to him, so that hi
Daciana's povI sat at the back of the luxury SUV, I had no idea what model it was, but I knew it screamed a few million bucks.But then, despite how airy the car was, the tension in it was palpable. A knife would possibly slice through if there was any available.My breathing was quite labored too, as I consciously noted that my mate sat right by my side, unmoving, and didn't acknowledge my presence once I got in. He kept staring and flipping through the magazine he had in his hand, even when the driver took off. I mean, what was I expecting from the most ruthless Alpha in the whole race? A little chit-chat over a cup of tea and biscuits maybe? I thought, giggling at the mental image I painted of him, sitting across the table and crossing his legs, while in between his fingers a tiny mug of tea.Alpha Arnou briefly looked over at me, on hearing my giggles, with a quirked brow. "What?" he asked, his tone not exactly harsh, but definitely cold, and I immediately dropped my eyes down
Daciana's pov.I woke up with a yawn, trying to stretch my limbs when I felt myself against a hard rock body! My body tensed up immediately, and my heart rate automatically skyrocketed. My eyes flew open and I realized that I had somehow crawled into the Alpha's lap! He was fast asleep, breathing heavily through his nose, his mouth slightly opened and his arms wrapped tightly around me. I wondered if anyone had ever seen him in this state of vulnerability before, as he is known for his cold and stoic nature. His hair tickled my face and I couldn't help but smile, despite being in a very embarrassing situation. I tried to wriggle out of his embrace, but he only tightened his hold on me and buried his head further between my neck and shoulder. He mumbled something incoherent and burrowed himself deeper into my neck.I stayed still for a moment, holding my breath to not startle him.His chest rose up and down steadily against me and every muscle in his chest flexed every time he i
Arnous PovFor some unexplainable reason, this lady beside me kept drawing my attention. I couldn't help but wonder if that was how the mate bond worked.Something seemed really interesting about the basic werewolf who wore casual jeans and a shirt, for an important family dinner, with top dignitaries of the kingdom in attendance.I knew at some point, I was at fault, as I had not given her the heads up earlier. I probably assumed she’d be sensible enough to pick from the plenty of luxurious clothes I had delivered and set in her room while we were still back at the other pack kingdom, making our way back here.How they had it all handled without the notice of mother and my sister, made me acknowledge mentally that indeed they came in highly recommended. For some reason, I was quite grateful for her presence, as she was the perfect excuse in putting Lilian my ex fling a huge distance away. It irked me greatly that the shewolf didn’t know just when to stop.She was even so desperate
Daciana’s pov.“No!” I yelled out, as I found myself back in the clutches of Alpha Eden.“What do you want?!” I asked in fear, as his grip tighten around my arm, while he was pulling me across the floors of our mansion towards his bedroom he never let me stay in while we were still married. I tried to pull out of the grasp, but it didn’t take him long before we reached his bed chamber. He threw me roughly onto the mattress of the king-sized bed, where I curled up into a ball with trembling shoulders trying to shield myself from what I could only guess was coming.“Get up!” He shouted, and when I looked up at him with tears streaming down my cheeks, ‘What is wrong with you?!” he screamed. “You are supposed to be perfect, why can’t you follow instructions?!” he cried. I flinched back, trying desperately not to look into his eyes. They were full of rage, frustration, and disgust. He grabbed his whip, which had been lying next to the bed, and lashed the lash against the mattress, making me
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
