Karica's POVWe removed the lid of the square box Xyn had given me and inside lay an exquisite amethyst jewellery set embedded in sterling silver, with matching earrings and bracelet. The amethysts sparkled under the pale light of the car and I was mesmerised. "It's very beautiful, thank you," I stole a glance at him and he was watching me with a satisfied smile. "This is from mom, it must be a family heirloom. Instead of giving it to you herself, she went through me. She wanted her son to be alleviated in your eyes," he amusedly hummed and I was shocked. Luna Nashia gave me her family heirloom, I always thought she disliked me but maybe she was only looking out for her son. "I will extend my gratitude to her once we return," I replied, tracing the tips of my fingers on the luxurious jewellery with rich opulence. "Allow me," he extended his hand and my heart fluttered in enthusiasm as I handed him the intricately designed jewellery which held hundreds of silver gemstones, and ameth

Karica's POVMeeting Xynathius's sister was a little overwhelming. She resembled her mother and just like her that smile didn't touch her eyes. But now I had understood that hostility was for me and my actions, the way I had hurt Xynathius didn't sit well with them and they were only looking out for him. Her words were stinging and her gaze scrutinized me, there was this exerting aura that she was exhibiting and only my willpower kept me standing and my head high. I was glad when Xynathius interjected and her mate, King Thadieus joined us. "Thadieus, meet my mate, Karica," Xynathius made the introductions and I could see the uncanny resemblance both men held to each other. They could be brothers only the Lycan King was a tad shorter than my mate but even broader and thickly built. "It's an honour to be here, thank you for inviting me," I politely said as the King wrapped his left arm around his Queen's waist while offering me his right hand. I reluctantly extended mine and he took

Xynathius's POVKarica was full of surprises, her body movements were so fluid and I had never seen anyone dance like her. It made me want her more, ache for her more. She clung to me in a passionate fury and it dawned on me that I wasn't the first man she must have done such a sensual dance with. None of her firsts were with me. Not the intimacy, not the dance, and not even her first kiss. A surge of jealousy coursed through me like a river of pain. But the heat of the moment had doused her senses and she tried to kiss me the very instant. Physically we had been burning for each other, mostly I couldn't even control myself and Zilver always made the situation even more difficult. But where did we stand in terms of owning each other in all other aspects? Had she completely forgotten Adiyan? Was she ready to accept me as her mate? Most importantly was she in love with me? Because I only wanted to kiss her when she was sure of her feelings on all levels. A kiss was sacred for me an

Romello's POVMy master had given me the task of finding everything about that girl, Karica. Hacking the site was a hassle and I couldn't just contact our informant in the Warbringer Pack. I didn't want the person to be exposed for snooping around too much. There was a bigger game at play and we needed to win. Vampires avoided other supernatural creatures, they preferred seclusion, cold and dark. Western Continent was known for its long nights and cold weather. It was located in such a place that it experienced lengthy nights which stretched to months. Fewer people lived in the Western Continents. Lycans and werewolves were nonexistent here but we had witches and other supernatural creatures which preferred dark like hell hounds and wendigos. They were our constant companions. I spoke to a hacker and he agreed to help me by hacking into the Mate Fusion program website and extracting the required information. He asked for a few days to encrypt the code of their website, sneak in and

Xynathius's POVThe idea of taking her blood annoyed me. I didn't want to see her blood being drawn. "Is it utmostly necessary?" I asked in exasperation. "Yes! I need to know which element is the most compatible with her powers and which ones she can control. I can only do that through blood testing," she explained, picking up a wooden spindle from amongst the witchy devices she had arranged on the table. "It's ok, go ahead," Karica folded the rest of her fingers and extended her index one towards her. She instantly pricked it deep drawing her crimson blood and I felt the prick as if the spindle was jabbed in my finger and not hers. She didn't even flinch, just watched as Arasia began to collect her blood in a glass container. The process seemed to take a long so she kept pressing my fate's finger, drawing more blood and annoying me with every single compressing movement. "Isn't it enough? How much more do you need?" I finally asked, annoyance visible in my voice. My fists were
