Eliane POV"Are you still mad?" Alex asked from behind the bathroom door where I was getting ready for the day. He was under the impression that I was upset by his question about Maya's love life but the truth is I'm still shocked by the head enforcer's reaction. Well, it's nothing concrete but still, it is something. I opened the door and walked out."Alex, for the fifth time I'm not mad at you. I just think it's not honest to pursue a human when they know that their mates are waiting for them somewhere." I answered him while looking for a rubber band in my bag. He made me sit on his bed and kneeled in front of me."They both lost their mates," His voice was reflecting the painful fact. "I would've never asked if they were players. They are both good and responsible m

Eliane POVThe head enforcer stood a few steps away with a disappointed look. His cold eyes were looking down on me waiting for my next move. He shook his head before grabbing his teacup and taking another sip. If it was any other time, I would've found the sight of a half shifted Lycan drinking tea hilarious, but not today. This simple gesture was a way to tell me that he never thought of me as a threat. A painful reminder that he could kill me anytime he wishes to, and my pathetic excuse of attacks won't stop him."Is that all you have little wolf?", He taunted me with a bored tone. "I thought you were going to stop me, to kill me, but all you've been doing the past hour was jumping around and winning like a pitiful puppy." I gathered my remaining strength and pounced at him. This time I was aiming for his leg since I

Eliane's POV"Are you sure, gorgeous?" Maya asked me for the tenth time since I called her."I promise. I'm fine. I want to see things through here.""Fine, but if anything happens...""I'll catch the first flight to you," I laughed trying to show her that I was really fine. "Anyways, tonight I'll send you some pics of my new baby." It was her turn to laugh."I already saw it.""When?""When you were making out with it. Poor Alex, he didn't see this one coming!!","What? It was recorded?"

Luca POVI watched her walk away. I wanted to stop her, but I couldn't move. 'Let's not talk at all, head enforcer!' Her cold words made my Lycan whimper in the back of my mind. The mate I was waiting for, the woman I almost lost hope to ever meet after a century of desperate research, didn't want to talk to me. What did I do? I never wanted to hurt her. To make her cry. I just wanted Eliane's wolf to step up, to stop hiding behind the false safety of this bold Human. I wanted her to unleash her inner powers and become a shield to protect my mate. To stand between her and any potential danger instead of hiding behind her. Just thinking about all the foolish things my Human mate has done before makes my blood freeze in my veins.I knew she was different from the moment our eyes met. She didn't give in to the mat

Eliane's POV"I can't believe he apologized to you!!" Alex looked stunned."I can't believe he offered me a one million dollars dinner!!" My eyes were roaming inside the fairy carriage. Everything looked magical. I did feel like a princess."It should've been me who offered you this." I glanced toward the overly-cute sulking Alex, who was glaring at the menu. Chef Ingrid prepared different menus to match the winner's dietary preferences."I don't really care who got it for us as long as you are the one sitting here with me, my prince." I smiled shyly, trying hard not to blush. He grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips. He softly kissed it before resting his forehead on it.
