LANDONMy father, the king...I quickly placed Daisy back on the pillow and slowly pulled away from her. I could see the question and worry in her eyes, but I didn’t have the time to appease her. Quickly, I ran to the wardrobe and grabbed clothes for myself, a royal robe.No matter what, one must not enter the crown area without having a robe. I turned to look at Daisy, who was holding a pillow to herself in a bid to cover up her nakedness. I tried to smile, but it didn’t come out quite right."Wait here," I said instead.With that, I stepped out of the room to a pensive-looking John. His head was down in obeisance, and I could tell that the matter was grave, for there was none of his calming aura at that moment."What happened to my father?” I asked at once.He shook his head. "I don’t have much information about it, Prince Landon. All I know is that the queen has sent for you, and she is in no good mood," he added.I gave a quick nod and moved quickly toward the elevator. John follo
Daisy's P.O.V"I, Alexander Harding, reject you, Daisy Channing, as my mate. I severe our wolf bond under the red moon and I wish to have nothing to do with you." The words rang in my ears like a bell and I fell to the ground as an excruciating pain shot through my body like an arrow. "No, he couldn't do this to me." My head spun around the room as tears flowed down my eyes. My body was trembling, my legs were numb and I clutched my chest to stop the pain my wolf was feeling but it didn't stop. I slowly lifted my head to stare into his eyes. I wanted to know if he was faking it. I needed to know that in his heart, he loved me. I didn't want to believe he had rejected me like I was nothing. But as I peered into his eyes, I felt nothing but an emptiness. There was no emotion in his gaze as he stared at me. It was like I was staring at a stranger and not my boyfriend who I've known for three years. It hurt, it hurt so bad and I couldn't do anything. I felt this sudden urge to seize
Landon's P.O.V"Sir!" I lifted my head and my glance fell on my chief guard, John. He was a short, bulgy man who often got on my nerves. Especially when I needed my alone time and he disobeyed my orders. "John, why are you here? I want to be alone." I said, slightly annoyed. "Sorry Sir." He apologized but took a step forward. "We found a girl around the border. We thought she was initially dead but after some examinations, we realized she had a concussion and needed medical attention." "Then give her one and do not bother me anymore." He cleared his throat. "There's a slight problem with that. She's from the Lightcrest pack." My ears shot up immediately I heard those words. Lightcrest pack? Could she be the one? Shivers of anticipation and dread flooded my body as I rose from my seat. A month ago, I received a prophesy from the seer. A prophesy that held my fate and destiny. I would finally find my erasthai. Cursed from birth, I was unable to ever feel the mate bond. I was des
Daisy's P.O.V"You are my erasthai." The words replayed in my head over and over. Was I dreaming or did he call me his mate?He had to be joking. Yet, he didn't look playful or amused as I stared at him. His eyes seemed to be challenging me to deny his claim. They seemed to want me to test him, so he could show me how real they were."What do you mean?" I managed to squeak out instead. "Are you joking?"He gently shoved a strand of my hair behind my ear. "What do you think I meant?" His smile was delicate as he asked. "I mean, you're mine. You're everything I've been searching for and I'm blessed to have found you."My heart fluttered crazily at his words regardless of my inability to digest his words.No. I couldn't be happy with it. I didn't have to even consider being the mate of a Lycan I just met in minutes. I was tired of being treated like an object and my heart was still aching from being dumped and betrayed by my best friend.I didn't need another mate to claim me or pretend
Alexander's P.O.VI missed her. I missed her so bad.I didn't think I would regret my actions this much but after twelve hours without Daisy, life felt different.I could barely get some sleep because of the guilt of what I did to her. My wolf was restless as well and I could feel his pain. However, I had the rejected the mate bond and it helped with the pain greatly. Daisy was the sweetest soul and didn't deserve such heartbreak.Despite what people said about our relationship, she was kind and selfless. She made me a better version of myself and helped me understand life in a better way.I couldn't bear to see the tears in her eyes as I said those words to her. I was further broken when she realized I betrayed her with her best friend, Martha. But there was nothing I could do and I wished I had done thing's differently.Although we had dated for three years, our sexual relationship suffered severely. Daisy insisted on waiting for her mate and as much as it angered me, I agreed to it
“Daisy, don’t do this to me,” Alexander cried. “We can still fix this. We can still get back together. Forget about Emily, I’ll make you the Luna of this pack.”But I was no longer interested in him or the mate bond. Immediately I rejected him, I felt free and my wolf welcomed the desire to find someone better for us. “It’s over between us, Alexander.” I voiced, my eyes narrowed in anger. I was fighting my emotions and my wolf’s desire to rip him to pieces. “If you ever try to touch her again or even come close, I promise that you’ll not live to tell the tales.” Landon growled at him in anger. Watching how possessive and protective he was of me was truly beautiful. Why did I have to settle for Alexander who cheated on me with my best friend when I could be with Landon? After all, Alexander would lose his position as the Alpha and he would have nothing. That was enough revenge for me. We left the pack house and I decided to go see my mother. I knew she was worried sick about me an
“I’m so sorry baby,” my mother rushed to my side and hugged me. “I’m sorry that he did that to you.” I expected her to question me or try to get a better understanding of the matter. But she believed me completely. “It’s fine, mum.” I replied, trying to stay strong. My heart still churned with sadness whenever I thought of Alexander. “He didn’t deserve me or my love.” “That son of a bitch had the guts to cheat on my daughter. After three years, he decided to cheat with your best friend?” She fired back, wiping her tears. “I expected better from Emily. She was like a daughter to me. How could she?” “She insulted me at the pack house. I didn’t think she would ever betray me like that.” I responded. “How are you feeling? I know it must be hard for you right now,” she held me gently, peering into my eyes with worry. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t there to protect you. You must not let your wolf hurt because of this. The moon goddess will heal your heart. I pray she gives you another chance at
The ride back to Landon’s pack was quiet but filled with emotions. He could feel her fear to start a new life with him. Despite her silence, he could feel how tensed she was because she was close to him.But his inner wolf wanted to take control and stake his claim on her. He wondered if she could feel his desire for her in the car. He wondered if she knew how crazy she made him feel, how she could easily mess with his control. But he knew she was hurting so he decided he would keep his hands off her. He would let her heart heal from her recent heartbreak. His forehead burst into a hot sweat as he repeated that rule to himself. He wasn’t going to claim Daisy. He wouldn’t, not yet.She needed to be protected–even from her own soft heart. “Where are we?” She breathed, looking out the car’s small window when the car came to a halt.He looked down at her shining eyes. “My pack.” His smile was warm. “My home.” They were standing in front of the palace surrounded by beautiful buildings.
