Anila’s POVA dream made me orgasm?! My legs were still trembling from the ghost of Zach’s manhood inside of me and his fingers teasing me. I could still taste Harley in my mouth and my nipples were hard from Damien’s teasing. My body was a trembling mess while I reminded it that it was only a dream. None of that was real and I had to get a hold of myself.I promised Damien that I would meet him this evening for our training session, and I refused to make things worse between us. Damien already told me the thought of me a
Anila’s POVWe were on our way back to the campus.I was excited to finally be able to use this wand and see what kind of things I could do with it. But I was also terrified that I wouldn’t be able to make it work or control it.I kept my concerns locked away though and I chewed the inside of my cheek the rest of the way back to school. Damien parked the car in the front lot, near Xaden’s car. I stepped out of the car, keeping my wand in hand and I followed Damien across the campus until we reached the academic center.I wasn’t entirely sure where we were going and when Damien opened a door to a room I had never been in before, I grew extremely nervous. I realized quickly that it was a stairwell; a private stairwell and not the one that was in the main section of the academic center that brought us upstairs. These stairs led downstairs and into the school’s basement.I completely froze on the dark step, confused as to why he was luring me down there. He froze once he reached the botto
Anila’s POVDamien quickly stepped away from me as if I had just burned him. Sarah stood at the doorway with her arms folded across her chest and her lips turned downward into a deep frown. She didn’t even spare me a look; her glare was fixed on Damien.“I told you I was using this room to train Anila today. What are you doing here?”“You call that training?!” She asked through her teeth. “It looked a lot more than just training.”“The spell she cast was out of control. I was helping her stabilize it,” Damien explained. “She was a bit shaken up, so I was trying to calm her.”“Oh, I’m sure you were. Admit it, Damien. You want her.”My cheeks flared from her words and a surge went through me that told me to protect our mate from this woman. But as I stepped forward, intending to step between Damien and Sarah, Damien’s words stopped me dead in my tracks.”“Anila is just my friend. You are my girlfriend, Sarah. Stop being stupid.”It was like a punch in the chest and my breathing hitched
Anila’s POVWinnie looked at me thoughtfully for a long moment. She leaned back in her seat and crossed her hands on her lap as she studied me. I felt my cheeks warm from her scrutiny.“Your mother was the bravest and the kindest,” she finally answered after a short pause. “She was one of the best wizards at the school. For all 4 years, she held that number one top student slot.”“She did the challenges when she was a first year?” I asked, raising my brows at this information.“She was a stubborn woman and fought to take the challenges,” she said, chuckling and shaking her head at the memory. “She wowed everybody.”I smiled at the thought of my mother putting the board in their place and getting them to agree to allow her to partake in the challenges.“And then she got a boyfriend,” Winnie continued, her smile faltering only a little. “Your mother was so in love with him.”I raised my brows at her words; she had a boyfriend while she was living here? I hadn’t heard about that. I knew
Anila’s POVIt’s been a little over a week since Xaden brought me to see his aunt and my mind was still whirling from the information I had received. I learned a little more about my mother and the fact that disappeared after the war and met my father in the human world. I learned about the Dragon King and the Alpha King. I also learned a little more about the Moon Queen.I already knew that the Moon Queen fought the darkness that threatened the world and to destroy the darkness, she had to sacrifice herself. She was a true queen and someone who should be worshipped. Her selfless act saved the nation. It was said that her mates followed her to death, not wanting to live without their beloved.Thinking about my own mates, I wondered if we would ever get to a point where none of them could live without me. My stomach tightened at the thought of it, and I had to stifle a humorless laugh. There was no way my mates would ever love me that much, maybe Xaden. But not the others.I grabbed my
Xaden’s POV“Mine,” my wolf growled in my head as he fought for control. I struggled against him; he’d never been this feral before. I’ve made love to Anila plenty of times, but this was the first that my wolf fought for dominance. He was done waiting for our mate; he wanted to mark her as his, especially now that she was 19 and close to her first shift.He wasn’t going to take no for an answer. Seeing the struggle within my eyes, Anila knew just what to say to calm me. But my wolf was still feral and demanding that we mark her as ours. I didn’t want to take that step with her just yet; especially because I promised her, we would wait a while.She ran her fingers down my cheek, making warmth attack my flesh like I was in some kind of heater. Seeing her in that blue dress at the party was torture; especially when I could smell her desires for me. She wanted me just as badly as I wanted her for most of the night and I wanted to bury myself in her and I didn’t care who watched us.But I
Anila’s POVI looked in the mirror and gasped when I saw the bite mark on my neck; the bite mark that Xaden had left on me. I couldn’t believe he marked me; Xaden had claimed me as his. I should have been horrified by the idea of being claimed, but I wasn’t.It was like I had all these new emotions rushing through me that weren’t mine. I felt more connected to Xaden than I ever did and when I touched the mark with my fingertips, I felt its warmth expanding across my body.It was a bubbly feeling in my chest, but it only lasted a few moments. Once the thought of my other mates popped into my head, my entire heart fell deep into my stomach.How was I going to explain this? Maybe I don’t have to explain this; it’s not like it’s any of their business. Xaden is my boyfriend. I’m expected to mate and bond with him because he was the one that I chose. It’s not like Harley wants anything to do with me, Zach only wants to get me into bed, and Damien only thinks of me as a friend.I should be
Harley’s POVI didn’t need to see her to know that she was nearby. I always knew when Anila was close, and I tried my best to stay clear of her. I crossed a line in a class last week; I touched her, and I shouldn’t have done that. I knew it was wrong of me, but my bear was agitated that our mate was close to us and yet so out of reach. He has been hounding me to claim our mate ever since we met her weeks ago.I didn’t want to admit that it was a battle I was losing, and I wasn’t sure how long I’d be able to contain him. I hadn’t shifted in weeks because I wasn’t sure what he would do once I handed him control. I fought so hard to take control of my spirit animal so he wouldn’t control me, but it was all out the window because of one woman.One beautiful woman.Stop it, Harley, I scolded myself, hating that I was thinking about my best friend’s girlfriend that way.If he was still my best friend.We had hardly spoken these last few weeks because of how weird things have been between us
