I never realized how much I missed something I barely remembered.A knock sounded against the door.“You awake, blind boy?”It was Elise.A smile pulled at my mouth immediately.“Technically that insult no longer works.”The door opened before she answered and then for the first time i truly saw her not through imagination.I actually saw her and Moon Goddess nothing could have prepared me. She stood against the doorwa
Mila POVWhen I woke up again properly everything hurt less and with the activities ahem, I did with Knox i felt much better now.The memory of silver light and the goddess’s voice still echoed faintly in my head it didn’t feel like a dream. None of it did.The mark on my arm pulsed softly beneath my skin like it had become something alive now.The door opened quietly and Knox stepped inside carrying food, thr mate bond fluttered in my chest as I stared at him.The moment his icy blue eyes landed on me, his shoulders visibly relaxed.“There she is.”My chest warmed immediately.“You say that every time I wake up.”“And every time you scare me half to death.”I smiled weakly.He crossed the room quickly and sat beside me on the bed, brushing blonde strands away from my face gently.“You feel better?”“A little.”“Only a little?”“My entire body feels like it got thrown off a cliff.”“That’s because you nearly burned an army alive.”I blinked.“fair.”I touched his hand softly.“I’m ok
Mila’s pov…My eyes fluttered open to the soft morning light filtering through the half-drawn curtains. My body felt heavy, like it was still fighting off the remnants of the war.And what was wrong with me everything felt sticky and I felt warm all over. My nipples were tight and sensitive against the thin tank top I’d slept in. Between my thighs, I was already slick, pulsing with need. I pressed my legs together and bit my lip.What the hell?I turned and Knox was asleep beside me, he sensed my prescence and turned to me “Go to sleep baby you need to rest” he mumbled “What happened?” I asked “You saved Marcus and all of us” he said My mind replayed everything and my eyes widened, but I felt very weak “You need your mate to replenish you strength” Rina saidI turned to Knox and he still my beside me with his eyes closed. My gaze traveled lower, to the sheet tented over his morning wood and my mouth watered.I rolled closer, sliding my hand across his warm skin. “Knox,” I whis
Knox POVThe fear inside me became unbearable every second away from Mila felt wrong like my body itself was trying to tear apart from the distance.Rain slammed against the car windows while thunder shook the mountains around us, but all I could hear was the mate bond screaming.She was in pain.I gripped the steering wheel harder until metal bent beneath my fingers.“She’s in danger,” I growled.Conrad looked toward me sharply from the passenger seat.“We know.”“No.” My voice cracked slightly. “You don’t understand.”Because I could feel it, everything she felt was being passed down the bond theb suddenly the bond exploded with power so violently my vision blurred.Nikal snarled hard inside my head.Mine.The wolf sounded restless and agitated.Then he spoke.You are too slow.I stiffened instantly.Nikal rarely spoke clearly unless his emotions were overwhelming and right now his voice sounded deeper and older somehow.“I’m driving as fast as I can.”Not enough.The bond pulsed ag
Mila’s POV“NO!”The scream ripped out of me so violently my throat burned as Marcus hit the ground hard.Blood spread beneath him instantly, dark against the shattered stone, for half a second everything stopped.The battlefield, the screaming, the fighting even the storm above us felt distant. All I could see was Marcus reaching toward me weakly while blood poured from his throat.No.No no no.I stumbled toward him desperately, dropping to my knees beside him while my hands shook violently.“Marcus”His breathing sounded wet, he was dying.Panic exploded through my chest instantly.Around us, the battlefield blurred into noise again.Bastian laughed softly somewhere behind me.“You’re too late.”I barely heard him. Marcus’s silver eyes struggled to focus on me while blood slid from the corner of his mouth.“Mila protect Hansel” he choked out “No.” Tears burned down my cheeks instantly. “No no no, stay awake.”His hand twitched weakly toward mine and then a voice whispered inside m
Mila POVThe sky above Marcus’s training grounds had been calm that morning.Marcus had me running drills at the far end of the arena, I was doing silver-mark control exercises layered with combat movement training. My arms ached, my breathing was uneven, and the mark on my arm kept flickering faintly beneath my skin like it was reacting to something I couldn’t see.“Again,” Marcus ordered from the edge of the training circle.I groaned, wiping sweat from my forehead.“You’ve said that like ten times.”“And you’ve improved each time,” he replied calmly.He was so much worse than Knox, I thought of my mate and my heart broke a little, I hope they were safe.“That sounds like manipulation.” I told him “It’s discipline.”“Same thing.”A faint almost-smile tugged at his lips.That was the closest thing Marcus ever got to amusement.I raised my hand again, summoning the silver flame it curled weakly at first then steadied and became stronger, i focused trying to shape it into something
Mila's POV…By the time I got to my room, my legs felt like they were made of sand.The moment the door shut behind me, I leaned against it, closing my eyes.Everything from today crashed into me all at once.Everything was stressful I couldn't even think properly anymore.I ratted out Kreda to Bas
Mila's pov…I stood there for a moment longer after Knox spoke, the tension between us was still thick enough to choke on.“The investigation has already started,” he finally said, his voice calmer now. “No one leaves the premises without being questioned.”I didn’t respond immediately i just… loo
Mila’s POV….I cleaned my tears and looked up, I was in a garden and it was very quiet.A soft breeze rustled the leaves, carrying the scent of wet earth and beautiful flowers. I stumbled through the marble paths, feeling the cool air brush against my skin, still damp from my tears. My hands shook
Knox’s POV……The car doors shut behind me with a sharp click, leaving Mila alone inside. I didn’t care. Mila was annoying an infuriating, she tested my limits.The second I stepped into the house, I could smell her sweet scent of roses and citrus and I hated it.Everywhere I looked she was ther
