Karica’s POVI closed my eyes at her revelation. It was the truth but it will surely be used against me. A hushed murmur went around the crowd and Luna Nashia clenched her jaw. “Did you discuss this with anyone else other than Alpha and Karica?” he asked next.“I did not,” she firmly answered. “Why is she undergoing training with you? She is a werewolf, what has she got anything to do with a witch,” he sarcastically questioned, his hands clasped in front of him. “I am afraid I can't disclose that information. I am under oath with Alpha Xynathius,” uneasiness in Arasia’s voice was becoming apparent with every passing second. “You understand what condition he is in. She is the cause of that, you can't withhold information like that from us,” he groused, getting angrier by the second. They wanted to pin it on me and get it done with. “Apparent cause and I can't discuss it. I take my oaths very seriously. Maybe you should wait for Alpha Xynathius to regain consciousness before decidi

Karica’s POVI was thrown back into the cell after they whipped me. The pain was so intense that I would have surely passed out if not for the concoction they had made me drink. It surely meant to keep me alive too for I felt like dying. Every nerve ending in my body ached and I couldn't even feel my back. My body uncontrollably shivered as I huddled up. Not knowing what was more painful, the public humiliation of being whipped for a crime I didn't even commit or the fact they disgraced me further by destroying my hair. I had started to dream of having them braided by him daily. Decorate them with tiny lilacs and his ribbon. It all seemed like a pipe dream now and I couldn't help but contemplate my miserable life. Whenever it seemed to take a turn for better, it always took a turn for worse. I felt barren inside, stripped of my dignity, stripped of my rights. I should have screamed and cried but no tears came. I was broken and yet holding myself together. There was no strength in

Karica’s POVHis velvety lips were at times tender and at times ferocious, taking me to new heights of ecstasy. The excruciating pain in my back had long been reduced to a slight ache. His saliva had worked like magic and his tongue was even magical. How was he so apt at everything he did? The fervour with which he had claimed my lips was quickly swirling into unfilled desires. Desires only he could fulfil and which lay between my legs and throbbed uncontrollably. My body was heating up and all I could focus on was him and his ravenous lips, which were devouring me like there was no tomorrow. My nails were digging into his back and yet, I couldn't get enough of him. I wanted him inside me to put out the fire he had ignited. As if reading my mind, he pulled away, panting and restraining himself. His sultry eyes glowed with a need to own me, his stare so arduous that I had to look away, my face heating up like a hot plate. “Kiris,” his sonorous voice was harmoniously pleasant to my

Xynathius’s POVI learnt Thadius and my sister were out of the continent. Attending a joint conference of Leaders of all Supernaturals Beings. That meant the Council acted on their own, without waiting for him or me. I would show them now that they had messed with the wrong alpha. But I needed to know what happened exactly. I was still short on details, all I knew was that Karica had been framed by someone. But I didn't want to see the faces of my Beta, Gamma and step mom. So I decided to call Tacy. She had been my mom’s right-hand woman and had raised me along with her. She was the only person I could bear to look at right now. Since Melsine was kept locked up during the time frame, she didn't know the details. I opened the mind-link and she was already trying to contact me, so I told her to come upstairs. I threw another glance at my mate and ensured she was comfortably sleeping. I quietly slipped out of bed and wrapped the duvet around her so she would remain warm. She snuggle

Karica’s POVI woke up to an empty bed, his warmth was missing. I looked around and found Tacy was there with me, sleeping on the armchair. I had no clue when she arrived.The physical pain had subsided, my mate had ensured it but where was he? On the table I saw food, my stomach growled and my mouth watered. It had been days since I had a proper meal. Getting out of bed I grabbed the whole tray and began to munch down the cold mutton chops. The curtains were still drawn but I knew the sun had risen. A few rays were filtering through but they had very little warmth. I just sat there collecting my thoughts. I couldn't believe that Xynathius would trust me so blindly. He didn't even need my explanation and that put a smile on my face. The way he had collected my broken self and put me back together. The way he had licked my wounds and kissed me. The essence of his lips I could still feel against mine.My fingers instantly wandered to my lips and I wanted to have that feel again. Did
