LOGINMason's POV
I walk away from the girl, how did this happen, how did I get mated to such a girl? Is she even a woman, or a man in woman's clothes? I've never seen such an ugly woman before. She is so plain and boring. Goddess why? Who can she be? Is she some beggar who snuck into the palace for some reason? She definitely came for the food. That explains it, I mean did she even look at herself in the mirror before getting outside? I can never let anyone know about this. The universe must be playing a joke on me. I can't be with such a clown. I'm so sophisticated for someone like that, the moon goddess could have done better. Mason deserves to be with a goddess, not some lowlife. How can someone worthless be the Luna and my mate no way. Its just so disgusting. Why didn't I reject her right away though, and what is that I felt when she asked me to reject her? I felt my throat constricting, I was almost out of breathe. I literally couldn't breath. And her scent was mesmerizing, I almost grabbed her but of course I couldn't. I really don't get it. I blame the bond, the faster I break it with her the faster I'll get my second chance mate. I must reject her tonight. I push the mate thoughts away for a moment, I need to act like nothing has happened. I hope no one saw the charade. I get back downstairs and find my mom waiting for me. “Took you long enough.” She smiles looking at me. “You look amazing son, go enjoy yourself. I'll be heading to my room for a moment.” She says, I'm glad mom didn't notice that I haven't changed my clothes. The party is lit, but for some reason I don't enjoy it. All the girls are lurking over me hoping that one of them is my mate, including Zahra, but for some reason, their presence chokes the air out of me. I keep looking over my shoulders, part of me wishes to see her again. Part of me wants to be with her at this very moment. What's wrong with me, I've never been like this in my entire life. Zahra tries to straddle me, but I push her off me. I feel suffocated just having another woman near me, my body suddenly repels her. “Why are you doing this, baby.” She asks, looking at me with a concerned expression. “Ever since we got back, you have been pushing me away.” She adds. I can see tears threatening to spill from her eyes. “Just stop please, I'm just tired I need a drink.” I get up from the couch and walk to the make-shift bar. The drinks are left on display for self-service, I pour myself a drink and take a seat as I look around. Time and again, the tiny face and wide eyes of my supposed mate comes haunting me, and each time I take a shot to try to take her out of my mind to no avail. I can't take this anymore, I must go to her now. Beatrice's POV A loud bang brings me back to my reality, Mason storms in looking drunk. “There you are my little mate.” His voice seems different, scary. I get up from the bathroom floor, to try to get away from him. “Don't walk away from me.” He licks his lower lips as his hands stretch out to grab me. I try to push him off me, but my body starts to betray me the moment his warm body engulfs mine. I've never felt so warm in my life. Being on the floor made me so cold. “You smell heavenly.” He says, sniffing my neck, my hair. I'm sure it's because he is drank, that's why he is holding me like this. I want to pull away, but my body betrays me. My mind knows the truth, but my heart and body wants him. He grabs me gently by my waist, bringing me closer to him. My body literally melts in his arms. My mind can't stop screaming at me for the mistake I'm committing right now. I close my eyes as he lowers his head to kiss my neck passionately, I circle my arms around his neck as my legs give into his warmness. My arousal can be smelt in the air, he growls a bit as he scoops me off the bathroom floor, opens the bathroom door and heads for the bed. He looks at me deeply, before closing his eyes and crushing his lips on mine. I eagerly kiss him back with the same vigor. His lips taste of wine, his scent intoxicating. My body tingles from his touch. Every cell in my body accepts him as my mate. I've never been this happy in my life. I feel like my heart will burst with joy. I've always seen him and admired him from afar, I've never thought that I would actually be in his arms one day. His huge body steadies me, with every back stroke, I want him more, I can feel his d*ck poking me through his trousers. “You are sweet.” He says amidst the kiss. He then places me gently on the bed, without breaking the kiss, he rips my dress apart leaving my naked body exposed to him. He opens his eyes, stares at me hungrily. “Aww! Gorgeous.” Biting his lower lips, he grabs both my legs, partying them slightly. I feel both embarrassed and excited. He takes his time removing my panties, his thumb grazes my thighs as he removes it,, making me shiver from each graze. He kneels on the floor, grabs my legs and pulls me towards him. He then places my legs on his shoulders, leaving my wet vagin* totally exposed to him. He slowly lowers his head, and I feel his tongue on my p*ssy. I almost scream, but I stop myself, I arc my back pulling the sheets towards me, I've never felt this kind of pleasure in my life. I've never had a boyfriend in my life, everything happening to me now is new. I want to scream his name, but I know he wouldn't want that. He suddenly stops, “juicy.” He says. “I can't wait any longer.” He adds. Scooping me up again, he pushes me further onto the bed, hurriedly he removes his clothes, exposing his whole body to me. He is like a sculpted god. He has muscles everywhere, his d*ck is huge and so erect that it faces upwards. His eyes are on me as he comes towards me. He positions himself between my legs and without warning he starts making his way through my p*ssy. I'm so wet that it takes seconds for him to find my hole, he pushes himself so hard, breaking my hymen in one attempt. He doesn't go gentle on me. Despite my winces and little screams, he still thrusts harder, tearing my thin vagina layer. He grabs my breasts harder and roughly as his thrusts grows faster. “Stop please.” I beg as the pain becomes unbearable. I try to push him off me but of course he is huge, and I'm a tiny thing, I don't stand a chance. “Please.” Tears stream down my eyes as I surrender to the pain. I lie there and let him hurt me. What did I think that he would accepted me, that he would hold my hand and introduce to the pack as his mate? That he would protect me? That he would love me with everything he's got? I want the ground to open up and swallow me, I want to die. He starts thrusting even faster as he climaxes. “Wow, I needed that.” He says getting off me. I lie there sobbing quietly, my vagin* is on fire, I can also smell blood. Why did he do this to me. 'I warned you.' My brain scolds me. My wolf retreats to my subconscious too hurt to even console me, she is heartbroken. “Get out of my room.” Comes Masons harsh voice. “Get out you irritate me.” He grabs me from the bed not caring about my state, pulls me and shoves out of his room naked, in seconds my torn dress comes flying outside the room slapping me on my face. Sudden shiver runs down my body, to my bones. What did I expect from him. Tears stream down my eyes uncontrollably, why me, what did I ever do wrong for the world to be so against me. Why did I get mated to the Alpha's son? I have so many questions, but of course, no one can answer them, I have absolutely no one in my life. What's the point of living. I bend down pick my torn dress and put it on in the same state its in. I walk outside through the back door, I don't want to live anymore, where will I hide my face?Caleb’s POV The villa is perfect. Nashon really outdid himself this time as always. I shake my head to stop myself from thinking about past experiences with other girls in a place like this. Just thinking about it makes me hate myself. Why couldn't I just wait for Raven? The interior glows with warm, golden light, soft white curtains flutter by the balcony, the scent of the sea drifts through open windows, and faint music hums from the speakers Everything feels calm… safe. Raven walks ahead of me, her bare feet silent on the polished wooden floor. She runs her hand along the marble counter and lets out a small, breathy laugh. “This place is unreal,” she says, turning to face me. Her smile, goddess, I missed that smile. “It’s all yours,” I say softly “Consider it home for as long as you want.” Her gaze softens, and for a brief moment, I see something pure flicker in her storm-gray eyes , peace, maybe even happiness. She disappears down the hallway, curious, peeking into
Caleb’s POV Raven is quiet, she hasn’t said another word, she sits by the small window of the cabin, the blanket wrapped loosely around her shoulders, staring at the trees outside as if they’re whispering something only she can hear. Her eyes are distant, lost somewhere between peace and guilt and it kills me. Every instinct in me wants to reach out, to touch her, to remind her that she’s safe here with me that she doesn’t have to carry whatever storm still lingers inside her. But I also know she needs space. She’s trying to make sense of everything: the bond, the moon, the fragments of memory that still haunt her. Fenric is restless in the back of my mind. I rise from the bed and walk toward her. The floor creaks softly beneath my feet, and she glances at me over her shoulder, eyes flickering golden for just a second before turning human again. She’s fighting something inside, the storm, the pull, maybe even Raphael’s lingering presence. “Hey,” I say gently, crouching be
Raven’s POV I open my eyes to warmth, not just the blanket or the evening sunlight filtering through the window , but him. Caleb’s body is pressed against mine, his arms still wound protectively around my waist as though I might vanish if he lets go. His scent surrounds me, a mix of pine, smoke, and something uniquely him that makes my chest ache. For a moment, I don’t move. I just listen to his heartbeat steady, grounding, hypnotic. The mark on my neck throbs softly, pulsing in rhythm with his. Our bond hums like an invisible thread, tying us together in every possible way. I can feel him now his emotions, his warmth, his love all blending into mine. It’s overwhelming… and beautiful. I tilt my head slightly, my eyes finding his face in the soft morning light. His jawline is strong and shadowed, his lashes dark and heavy over closed eyes. He looks younger, almost peaceful, like the weight of the world has finally been lifted off him. I brush a strand of hair off his forehea
Raven’s POV I wake up in his arms, his embrace so tight as if I would slip away forever if he lets go. His breathing is steady, soothing, a rhythm that lulls me into peace. I feel at home and safe, despite not truly knowing him, at least not in the way my memories should allow. And suddenly, I’m completely aware of our nakedness. My body flushes with heat, every nerve burning with desire. I want him, no, I need him. Every inch of me aches for Caleb, and I know only one thing will quench this unbearable thirst. Rays of sunlight slip through the small window and spill across his face. The golden glow makes him look unreal, godlike. I carefully ease myself from his grip just enough to admire him. His lashes are long and dark, his face peaceful and strong. And his lips, those sinful lips. “Shit,” I whisper to myself as I bite my lower lip, trembling with restraint. I can’t take it anymore. I lean down and brush the softest kiss over his mouth. But the second my lips touch his, I r
Caleb's POV “Sleep beside me.” Her words are soft, almost fragile, but they pierce through me sharper than any blade. I freeze, my hand still clutching the blanket where it tucks beneath her chin. My breath catches. Did she mean it? Or is it just the exhaustion talking? Her eyes, though heavy-lidded, hold mine. They are steady and certain. “Raven…” My voice breaks against her name. “Please,” she whispers, her lips trembling, her fingers brushing against the space on the bed. “I don’t… I don’t want to sleep alone.” Every bone in my body screams to climb in beside her, to wrap her up, to shield her from everything. But I hesitate. She doesn’t remember me. She remembers her heart but not the history, not the promises, not the nights I stayed awake listening to her breathe just to know she was safe. Still, I can’t deny her. Not when she looks at me like this. I nod once, slowly, my throat tight. “Alright.” Carefully, as though afraid the fragile air between us will shatter, I
Caleb's POV I can't take this anymore, I need to go for a run. I need to take my mind off the thoughts of Raven being intimate with Raphael. It's driving me insane. I can’t sit in this room, can’t look at the walls that feel like they’re closing in on me. I need to move. I need to run. I let Fenric take over, my wolf, surges forward, a storm of muscle and fur, dragging me out of my skin, out of my pain. Together we burst into the night. His paws barely touch the earth as we race through the darkness, the cold wind slashing through my fur like needles but also clearing the haze in my head. Fenric runs fast, so fast, and I let myself go completely, drowning in his speed, in his instincts, in the escape. In no time, we’re deep in the woods. The full moon hangs high and round in the sky, its silver glow bathing the trees in a ghostly light. The power of the moon heightens every emotion in me, grief, rage, heartbreak, until it all fuses into a single, wordless howl. Fenric tilts his
