Oliver POV:
I continue to stare at her without saying anything, all I can think about is that she is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.
She gazes at me as if she cannot believe her eyes, strong emotions obviously displayed over her goddess features. The moment tears start streaming down her face, I feel a strong tug in my chest, my wolf howls in pain inside.
What is this reaction I’m experiencing?
My body is acting on its own, I can’t help but extend a hand through the iron bars to wipe a tear from her cheeks. The second our skin connect, electrifying shivers are spreading through my figure like wildfire through the forest.
Air leaves my lungs as she finally snaps out the trance she seemed to be lost into and calls my name.
“Oliver, you came! I was so afraid that she did something to you!” She grabs a handful of my hair and pulls me, her moist lips reaching mine through the bars.
Time slows d
Oliver POV:I can’t get her out of my mind, every time I fucking close my eyes, her image is haunting me, her beauty one that can turn even a saint into a sinner.She did something to me, my mind and my heart are fighting each other, all this for one of those weaklings I’ve always despised, a mere human. It’s safe to say that what affected me most were her innocent eyes, she seemed so miserable that I could almost feel her pain just by looking at her.Mother was acting weird too, and the dreadful acts she accused the human of completing, they didn’t seem plausible. How can I human hold power to control demon wolves? Even we had trouble containing them the last time, there were lots of victims, my father included.No, something seems fishy, but I will make sure to find out everything later today. I’m actually very anxious for that show, this is a first. What I usually find attractive in the events we are hosting is the crowd o
Kylie POV: He was right, they did give me something, that booster. Donāt think for a second that they asked for my opinion, they just poured the damn drink down my throat. And after that, they took my competitor away, leaving me scared to the point I thought Iād go crazy. Some women came in and dressed me in a tank top and shorts, the fabric looking like an armor of golden color, with a matching pair of boots and a helmet. If not for the life and death situation, I would have thought I look kind of cool, the golden outfit looking lovely against my tanned skin. At least youād die pretty, Kylie! I wasnāt even able to catch my breath before they threw me on the stage, in the middle of the arena. My heart is racing in my chest, I feel like Iām on the brink of having a heart attack as I scan my surroundings. Such a great crowd came to witness my miserable death. But nothing prepared me for the stabbing pain of betrayal that
Kylie POV: Iāve mentally prepared for the pain I was suppose to feel, and I relaxed myself in his embrace. Whenever I am in his arms, I feel that I can concur the world, this is the kind of power he has over me, over my body. My eyes closed, my heart pounding erratically in anticipation for whatever was supposed to happen. I trusted him, I will always trust him. He gripped my shoulders and held me in place, leaned his mouth over my neck, then something sharp dug deep into my skin. I suppressed the groan that was forming in my throat, I didnāt want him to feel guilty for hurting me. It was nothing I imagined, the pain lasted for a few seconds, and after those seconds passed, my body was overwhelmed with incredible pleasure, I almost could not handle it. Whatever he did, it delivered me straight to the kingdom of heaven, itās safe to say that Iāve never felt this way before, itās probably a one in a lifetime sensation. It was addi
Oliver POV:I could feel the anger radiating out of my mother and Killian from a long distance, they were the first to leave the arena. Everyone else expressed avid interest in the show we put in stage, by marking a human girl I gained their undivided attention, which I’m sure it’s not a good sign.As for me, marking my mate and remembering everything about her, about us, brought life back into my body, I feel complete and my wolf is purring again like a fucking cat, I missed this sensation.“Oliver, do you know anything about Mark?” Kylie asks me, her voice filled with concern.I admit that I forgot about my idiot brother. He was supposed to protect Kylie, but so did I for what it counts, and I failed miserably, anyway, where did he end up?“Last time I’ve seen him, he was in the dungeons with me.” She declares as though she could read my thoughts.Wait! Dungeons?My mother dared to throw my
Oliver POV: Fucking Hell! I should have been the one to brief Kylie about the rituals of the Mating Ceremony, I should have told her what marking her means, she is unaware of our traditions. Maybe she wants nothing of this, she should have known what sheās getting into, how her life would change, this way she would have been capable to make a decision on her own. Too late now, what was done canāt be undone. I wonder what my mother is scheming, I donāt believe for a second that she changed her mind just like that. She is the type to hold grudges and get revenge, she was not like this before, but she definitively is now. Anyway, Kylie needs to go through with the Mating Ceremony and complete the rituals to be able to be my Luna, if thatās what she desires, it goes without saying that Iām not going to force it on her. āIāll let the two of you discuss it, let me know what you decide. Either way, the Ceremony has to be held the day
Kylie POV: My anxiety is skyrocketing thinking about the ceremony tomorrow, Oliver planned a picnic to make me relax a bit. Although I donāt believe is going to work out, this day still has to pass so might as well get out of the here a bit, it makes me nervous that his mother is also in this house. He first wanted to take me to a lake house he clearly loves, but we donāt have that much time and my mind is too troubled to fully enjoy it so we settled for a day in the nature. We are just about to get in the jeep when I see red before my eyes, Kendra is making her way in our direction. Everything about her makes my blood boil with anger, she witnessed her father holding me hostage and she allowed it, just like that. It goes without saying that she never gave up on Oliver, but part of me believed she was just a spoiled brat, not a bitch capable of hurting me, or even killing me. Like father, like daughter. Good thing Oliver does
Kylie: I silently curse, itās already morning and I could not sleep a wink, Iām sure I have dark circles around my eyes, just when Iām about to be formally introduced as Oliverās mate. Good job, Kylie, youāll not only be weak, youāll be ugly too! Now that I think about it, every woman I have seen at the Klain Gala or in the crowd at the Arena was drop dead gorgeous to say the least, I look really plain in comparison. A cold shiver runs down my spine, is it too late to back off? Not that I would ever do that, but is it possible to do it? āGood morning, my love!ā Oliverās voice pulls me out of my thoughts, his godlike silver eyes are sparkling with lust, he stares at me as if I were the most beautiful creature walking on this Earth. And you know what? This is all I need, this ravishing man here making me feel like Iām the only one in the world that would ever catch his eyes, of his heart. Yes, I was overthinking like a silly gir
Kylie POV: All eyes are on me, I lose sense of time and space, the scenery is slowly fading away, all I can see is Oliver. āYou look beautiful!ā He compliments me eyeing me from head to toe as if I were his favorite meal, my heart skips a beat or maybe even more. There is so much love and lust in his eyes, his strong emotions almost blow me off my feet. My breath hitches as he grips my waist roughly and pulls me into a kiss. The moment our lips touch feels like Iāve reached paradise, sweet electrifying sparkles are shooting through my body, I have to remind myself that we are surrounded by a big crowd. Mark clears out his voice, and yes, we needed the hint. āI canāt wait for us to be alone.ā Oliver whispers in my ear, blowing flames through my skin, I feel a blush creeping my cheeks. We walk towards a lake, my heart ready to explode from all the overwhelming sensations coursing through my veins, I am nervous to say the least. Nobody ex
