Juliana's pov:The guy in front of me was surely the true definition of a Greek god. I have always said that Lucien is handsome but oh! My goodness this one standing in front of me is a goddamn snack, his jet-black hair flowed down to his shoulder. His hair looks so soft and silk that I want to run my hands on them.I gawk at him unknowingly, he has a smooth spade-shaped beard. He has a manly gritted stubble, I smiled inwardly. I have always had a thing for mustache guys but so bad none of my previous mates had a beard except Lucien. His eyes dazzled in wonder with a sinful smirk across his lips as he watched me gawk at him but I ignored his behavior and focused back on his appearance. I have never seen a guy like this before, he looked so different and appealing at the same time which seems strange. I could tell that he has this devil may care outlook, he has a bristly eyebrow with a hawkish nose. Despite the clothes that he was putting on, I could still see his broad muscular shoul
Juliana's Pov:We arrived at the black storm pack, the guards rushed and pulled the giant black gate wide for him to drive in. My heart kept throbbing fast within, I sat nervously in the passenger seat while fiddling with my fingers. I stared out at the widow, there were many guards at every corner. "Wow!" I exclaimed with a surprised look as he drove inside, he spared me a quick look before turning his attention back to the road. He has a smirk on his lips, my eyes shone brightly and I have a flush of excitement on my pale cheeks. The pack looked incredible more than the way people described it, the place is so inviting and mesmerizing. I continued staring around and I didn't know when our truck stopped moving. Noticing that I have been staring at one spot for a while now, I turned to him with an angry brow to know why he stopped the car. "Why did you stop?" I curiously muttered."We have reached our destination," he said. When trying to suppress his laugh. Why is he laughing? Wha
Juliana's Pov:Stepping inside the room, all eyes were on us. They all irk a powerful aura. Their cold eyes pierced directly at me which made me want to shrink back and hide behind him. I still didn't even know his name but that is not an issue because I am flicking out already. None of them had a smile on their faces, my legs started getting weaker as we strode inside the room. The guards there stared at me with disgust and if I am not mistaken almost all of them had their eyes fixed on me at one spot with a look of irritation they bore their eyes at me. I yelled within for the ground to open and swallow me up but it looks like at this moment that the ground also has an ear of its own because it seems like I am alone in this one.All alone with no one to run unto, or to comfort me. It was as if I was in a den full of wild creatures waiting for an opportunity to strike and devour me.I tightened my grip on him and with difficulty, I managed to keep up with his pace. With a nervous loo
Juliana's pov:My heart sank as my throat jumped inside my stomach within a twinkle of an eye. I had my eyes popped out of their socket, he gritted his teeth in anger not paying attention to my sudden behavior. His full scrutiny was focused on his mother, his facial expression doesn't even seem to flatter her, and she still has her no-nonsense look on. "He is the king," I didn't care about the bickering going on between Ryan and his mother, I pondered on the issue that still has me restless. The idea of Ryan being the king fears me and getting close to him is one scary thing because it will surely lead to my doom. He is not good for me and I know that whatever I feel for him is lust and nothing serious. His mother was right, I am nothing and don't exist and that's how I want my stay here to be like. I want to be invisible to the extent that no one will have any idea that I exist.He was angry to the extent of letting his Lycan out, the elderly men shifted to the other standpoint wit
Ryan's pov:I slammed the door forcefully behind me, as I walked inside my study with anger and fury. I left to calm myself down, I know how much I battled to control myself from snapping my mother's head right there. Despite everything, she is my mother. I couldn't have talked to her in that manner but the girl in question was my MATE! I sighed when pacing around to know if I could be able to calm my nerves, Ethan is outraged and I am finding it difficult to control him. Not only Ethan was angered, but I was also losing my cool when my mother was vomiting those harsh words and spitting them at my mate. The girl that I have longed to have in my arms, the one that I had waited throughout my life to cross paths with.Speaking of her, I wonder what she is doing…… Where is she? Ruffling my hair, I grumbled "Only God knows what my mother has done to her," I couldn't have left her all alone there at the mercy of my mother. I know how hard and harsh she could be sometimes.How am I to tell
Ryan's pov:I stomped back and forth on my bedroom floor, waiting for Liam to come. I can feel the rage rising with each step, no matter what I do or think the anger was still there. The pain that my mother caused and the idea of not knowing how to woo my mate. Counting to ten……. Or taking a deep breath, still, nothing happens. I can't just come to terms. I thought that finding my mate could make me happy but no! It had me confused and worried. I have been inside my room for days now, thinking about how to go about this whole thing. Liam wasn't at fault, I shouldn't have raised my voice at him…….. He didn't do anything bad for wanting to check up on me, it was all my fault, I couldn't have left her there but at the same time, I didn't know how to explain to her that we are mates! Without sounding stupid. My mom won't approve of us being mated to each other, she will request rejection and with how terrified and scared Ashley was that day. She won't think twice before giving in, I just
Juliana's pov:This place is fascinating and cozy but so bad I couldn't say the same for myself, this place is hell for me! I am in the deepest part of hell with no one to rescue me. Margaret is always at my neck, sometimes I feel like choking. I am always at their bay and call. Eating is not an option here, but they always ensure that I work myself to death. I haven't seen Ryan for weeks now and I am more than grateful for that, though part of me still craves him. His warm touch on me and the peaceful sensation that he always brings to me whenever he is around me. I craved to be in his arms, I wanted him all over me."Snap out of it, Juliana, he can never be yours," I yelled at myself. I know that whatever I feel for him is nothing but lust, I am just lusting over him, nothing much but come to think of it, who wouldn't want him with those his physique and height? My throat tastes bitter as the idea of other women gawking at him blurred my vision. "Come on! Juliana, they can lust o
Juliana's pov:Everyone is in the kitchen, slicing, and helping with the cooking. I feel weak and exhausted and the grumbling sounds that my stomach was making weren't helping at all. I still haven't put anything in my stomach at all since I woke up. Margaret didn't even care. The girl that I bumped into the previous day kept carrying her shoulders and walking like she won the place. I ignored her and focused more on what I was doing. I was so busy that I didn't even notice that Aria was calling for my scrutiny."Hmm….. Any problem?" I raised my eyebrow at her."Nothing just wanted to know how you are feeling today," she said with a chipped tone."I never remembered telling you that I was sick before," I seemed confused."Come on!" She laughed. "I was asking how you are feeling today, how was your night, and so on?" She smiled."Ohh!!" I mumbled with my head lowered looking embarrassed."Come on, is nothing, and beside………" Ashley!!!" Aria didn't get to finish before we both froze, n
