Damien’s povThe room grew so silent you could hear a pin drop! And I wanted to laugh so fucking bad but I kept my cool. “Leave it to mate to put them in their place!” Roman laughed, making my chest fill up with pride. Now that's My Queen!“I admit, we haven't been very… cordial when it comes to the King but we're only hard on him because we cannot suffer more mistakes, until you, he was the last Lycan Alpha worthy of holding this Kingdom together” Raven said calmly, making me want to roll my eyes.Bullshit! They never thought me worthy!“What are his mistakes?” She asked, staring him down. He swallowed hard, blinking a few times as if the question caught him off guard. “He banished a Lycan Alpha!” Valder growled, making Alari snap her gaze to him. “Xavier was not a Lycan Alpha!” I growled back, getting angrier than I already was. They came in yelling and wouldn't let me get a word in and now they were going to bring all that crap up. “No, he wasn't but he had potential and the
Alari's povI woke up first this time and took the opportunity to drown my senses with the sight and smell of my mate. Just like my own scent, his was now infused with mine; and how salivating it was. The mark on his neck was something I prided myself in. Knowing he would carry my initials on his neck for the rest of his life and everyone would know he was mine made my chest fill up with pride. “All mine” I whispered, tracing the mark with my fingers. “Mmmh” he moan, a smile etching across his thick, luscious lips. His eyes fluttered open and I was met with gorgeous brown orbs that never failed to entrance me. The specs of gold in them a lot more prominent now, making his eyes look a lot more honey than brown. “Good morning baby” he murmured, his voice thick and husky from sleep. “Good morning” I smiled, running my hand down his hand. He snaked his hand around my waist and pulled me closer, resting his head on the space between my neck and shoulders, breathing in my scent. “A
Alari's povThe last two days have been pure hell. I dread waking up in the morning! My body has hurt in ways I never thought possible. My mother wasn't joking when she said she wasn't going to go easy on me, the woman made me realise the little I thought I knew about magic was actually nothing compared to what I really had to know. And don't get me started on learning how to fight with the twins. I have no idea how my mother got them to listen to her instead of me, but she did and I suffer everyday!“Come on Luna, you can move faster than that” Kyle, the twin with black hair and so much sass I couldn't wait to beat it out of him the day I learnt how to dodge his hits said with a laugh. “Ow” I breathed, stars dancing in my vision as I laid on the floor, trying to blink them away. He'd swiped his leg under my feet and instead of jumping to avoid him, my body froze and I was now trying to clear my vision. Yes, I fell
Alari's povMy dreams were plagued by memories of my mother training, learning to use her powers and by the time I woke up, I felt like I could take my trainer on.Of course I couldn't, it just felt like it with my new found knowledge. Damien had left already and left a note telling me where to find him. I quickly got out of bed and put on my training gear and raced to find him. I wasn't quite sure but I think I knew what to work on for me to progress faster. I didn't know where the training grounds were but my guards did and they took me there without question. First thing I saw when we broke through the tree line leading to the training grounds was Damien's ripped and naked back. He was only in shorts and sneakers, his entire upper body unclad to every eye there. It wasn't too obvious but a lot of the women were checking him out.He turned to face me and smiled as I approached. “Hey darling” he greeted, wrapping a hand around my waist to pull me next to him. “Hey baby” I gree
Alari's povDamien and I made our way back to the castle after a lot more sparring and correcting my form way too many times. Kyle had showed up about two hours in, joining Damien at pointing out my mistakes as Lesley and I fought. My muscles were tense and begging me for a break by the time I hit the shower. Damien joined me and as much as I loved my time with him in the shower, my mind couldn't help but going back to when I was fighting with Lesley. I couldn't stop thinking about how I always caught hits that were for sure supposed to hit, nor explain the rush I felt when my mind opened up everytime it happened. “You're not here” Damien whispered into my ear, successfully bringing me back to the current and making my body shiver. “Sorry, can't seem to stop thinking about today's training” I said, turning around so he could wash my back. “Yeah you were awesome love, and a quick learner” he said and I only hummed, wondering if he didn't notice.
Alari's povThe next three weeks were the most grueling of my life, I swear I thought I was going to die in more than one occasion. I pushed myself until I couldn't even move and still found the strength to go past that. I don't know how or when it happened but whenever it was, I started using my strength to the fullest. I stopped holding back and it was then I realised, I'd actually been holding my progress back by being so afraid to hurt someone. They didn't even care whether bones broke or not. Plus mom's memories were coming in handy, and that thing I do, seeing without looking, yeah I was getting real good at doing that. “Okay, that's enough for today” Kyle heaved as he bent forward, using his knees to hold himself up. “Tired already” I panted, mimicking his stance, to which he chuckled at. “Yes, I'm beat” he said, standing up straight when Brent brought us water bottles. “Thanks”
Damien’s povPeace in the midst of chaos is something I'd never felt before yet here I was, watching my mate address her security detail and castle staff. She was in control, not afraid or angry, like we were a step of ahead of everything. “We are in control, trust mate” Roman said, but it wasn't that I didn't trust her, I was afraid for her. My heart stopped when she linked me and told me Narcissa had left a note. All I could think about was that she was in danger and I wasn't there. I dropped my guard, I left her side and the enemy took that chance to sneak in. “You couldn't have seen it coming love” a voice I hadn't heard in a while said, making me blink a few times before raising my head to look at Alari but she was still focused on everyone there. “S.. Sapphira?” I asked and she chuckled, her voice tickling my brain in the most pleasurable way. “Yes, you left yourself wide open sugar” she said and I was a little embarrassed but happy to speak with her none the less. “It's
Alari's povI'd been expecting a note the next day but was quite disappointed?... Pleased! I was pleased that the biggest threat to my life and Kingdom hadn't accessed my bedroom. But it did leave me anxious to know when we'd hear from her again, or was increasing security the right move to make?As much as I wanted to believe that we had countered our enemy's attack pretty good, it felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.And I wasn't disappointed… and maybe a little excited I was right. It had been quiet for two days after the first note and just when I was expecting the day to go without a hitch, I found another one. A sticky note on the sliding door leading out to the balcony, which was open by the way and I knew it couldn't have been Damien who opened it. We'd left the room together like we'd been doing since the first note and only seperated when I came to shower if he had something important to attend to. One thing I was happy about was that it didn't quite shak
