AZRIEL’S POVWe returned to Zadok’s office, leaving Aaron half-dead in the dungeons.“What happened?” I asked for the nth time, while Zadok paced in the office. “I should have finished him up! I should have killed him with my bare hands.” Athaliah stepped into the office, sporting a worried look “You want to know what happened?” He finally said, taking a seat. “I met my mate at the ceremony!” He announced with an evil smile. “What do you mean?” I asked, confused. “Athaliah,” He called, “Please tell Azriel what happened at the ceremony tonight.” He said with a deranged expression, “Tell him how I watched my mate get mated to another, how my mate was stolen away before my eyes.”“Alpha...” Athaliah began but he shut her up. “Listen.” Zadok chuckled, “I

CALLA’S POVMy body froze, and I smelt him before I saw him. “I see my Calla has grown much stronger than the last time I was here?” He stated more than asked. “Welcome, Alpha,” Scarlett said from beside me, giving him a slight bow. “Our Luna has grown in leaps and bounds.” She added.I remained silent.Cole clasped his hands, “I can tell from what I see.” He noted, seeming pleased. “Don’t let me stop you. Ignore my presence and go on with what you have planned, I’ll watch from a distance.” He said, stepping into my front, “But first, I need to ensure she is alright.” Cole said to no one in particular, and Scarlett stepped away, giving us privacy. “You don’t look too good my love.” He said, pushing my face to meet his eyes. “Did you have a good night's rest?” I shook my head, &ldq

AZRIEL’S POVWe ended up on the bed. Half naked and under the dark glow of the room. I sucked on Athaliah’s nipples like my life depended on it. If I was being honest, I thought it did. Sparks ignited between us and my member throbbed to be inside her, but I needed to know first. I needed to be sure before I gave in to my unhinged desire to take her in every possible way - to ruin her for everyone else.My hands fingers continued their assault, edging her to no end. “Azriel...” She moaned and gathered the bedsheet with both fists. “Please..” As much as I loved to see her like this, I couldn’t afford to lose my shit. “Tell me,” I purred, biting her earlobe, as I tortured her, digging dip into her with every thrust of my finger. Her wetness dripped down her thighs, and I felt proud. “Did he see her?” I began, “Did Aaron really see her or was it a lie?”&nbs

AZRIEL’S POVWe followed Alpha Cole to a large field, walking past several guards.For some reason, there was a sordid smell in the air and the lands seemed...dead. The grass was dead and the atmosphere was odd - like a disaster was waiting to happen.Cole led us, ushering us in while we followed in silence. The Atmosphere around Zadok suddenly tensed and I knew something was wrong. I looked around and that was when I saw her.Short Red hair, curvy and strong. Standing agile beside a lady I didn’t know. Zadok stilled beside me and I knew he’d seen her too. There was no way in hell it wasn’t Ithra.Even her presence was familiar. I could feel it despite standing metres away from her. Her back stiffened as soon as Cole spoke.“Forgive me, my Calla!” He said, slowing his steps as he approached her and carelessly hung an arm around her. “We had guests and I had to play host for a minute.”Uh

ZADOK’S POVI couldn’t stop looking at her -  My Amore, my Ithra, my mate. I knew it was stupid to agree with Azriel’s plan to pay her a visit without a concrete plan to recover her but I couldn’t resist the temptation of even a chance of seeing her again. I needed to see her again, to be sure I wasn’t crazy. I needed to see her and touch her. To feel the little sparks between us to know that I was indeed living a life where my Ithra was still alive. Nothing prepared me for the sight of her, standing under the sun while she forced herself to kill against her will. It took a miracle to prevent me from blowing up at Cole, who was having difficulty reading the room. I got angry at how many other things he was forcing her to do against her will. We were leaving the field after Ithra blatantly confronted Cole, declaring she was unable to kill. At that moment, I felt my member harden
