View MoreHowzit going, guys? Happy New Year. This book is a sequel to MATED TO THE EXILED OMEGA. I suggest that you read that book before this one. Either way, this book can as well be read as a stand alone. With that said, welcome to my first book of the year. I hope you'll enjoy it. xoxo.
.....PROLOGUE "You were right. It is me, the one you abandoned.""Ava...""Don't. Don't try to sway me! I've given you enough time. I waited for so long. I thought you would change your mind. But, you chose her! She's not even your mate! I am!"Tears blurred my vision, my heart aching in my chest. My pent up emotions were straining hard and now, they were bursting out with untamed explosions.There was so much I wanted to say. So much that I'd swallowed and suppressed."You crushed me, Keegan! I've always hoped that my faith in you would be proven right by you. But, again, you fucking disappointed me!"Tears welled up his blood shot eyes, his face twisted into an expression of dismay. I wanted him to feel the pain he'd caused me, a thousand times over."I'm sorry...I was being a coward."His voice cracked, a tear rolling down his bruised right cheek. I'd tried to stop Darian from killing him, earlier. But, at this point, I couldn't help but think that he deserved worse."I still love you. I never stopped...""Lies! It's all lies! I was stupid to think that you cared enough... Like a fool, I craved your affection""Ava, please calm down. You're still bleeding" my other mate said, his voice reflecting his concern.I was starting to feel woozy from all the blood loss but I didn't care. I needed to get the weight off my chest. I was sick of it."Ava, he's right. You need to see a doctor""Don't act like you care about me, Keegan""Ava, please..." "I want you to choose now. Make your decision, right now!"His brows knitted into a frown, confusion etched onto his face."Will you choose to be with your mates or will you choose that wench?"When I swayed, Darian grabbed me to steady me. His gaze met Keegan's, the tension between them sizzling. They were mates after all.Swallowing hard, Keegan parted his lips."I-"The door was flung open and in stormed the one person I thought I would never see again."Vince?"I'd barely completed my statement when he stormed towards Keegan and knocked him out with a punch.****DARIAN "What are you doing? Go ahead and answer the call," I said to Keegan, and he winced, rubbing the back of his neck. The call ended, and a message popped up. It read:'Pick up the damn call, Keegan. I know exactly where you are, I can always find you. And when I do, you're going to be in a lot of trouble.'"Does he always sound so scary?" I asked, and Keegan sighed."No. He used to be much worse," he replied, his voice laced with worry.Cracking a smile at him, I took the phone from him and dialled the number that had just called. Alpha Vincent picked up the call on the first ring, and when he spoke, I knew he was beyond pissed."Keegan, what did you do to my sister?" He demanded, and Keegan winced."I didn't do anything—""Where is she? Put her on the damn phone," Ava's brother hissed."She's asleep right now—"Again, Keegan was interrupted."You did something to her, didn't you? Dammit, I knew I shouldn't have let her go to you," the alpha said with a bitter tone.Unhappy
KEEGAN My mates stared at me with incredulity written all over their faces. It was quite understandable, especially since I'd gone off the grid without warning and returned a while later looking like I'd just fought with a group of ninjas. I'd refused to believe it either. My sister didn't know who I was anymore. "I don't understand. How did you find her?" Ava asked, her brows furrowed. "The list was very helpful," I replied and Darren wrinkled his nose at me."You should wash off all that blood," he said through gritted teeth. His eyes were starting to alternate between red and black.Ava cursed under breath, bringing a hand to Darren's chest. "Keegan, don't just stand there," she said and I grimaced."There's one more thing --" I started to say but was interrupted by the a loud thud which came from inside the apartment. "What was that?" Darren asked, his eyes narrowed. "I might've brought her along with me," I stated and my mates stared at me with puzzled expressions on
AVA Darian didn't answer my calls. I hadn't intended to stay away from him while he mourned. He was the heir apparent to the throne. Therefore, he had to stay in the palace to prepare for his coronation.Unable to keep myself away from him anymore, I'd decided to go to the palace to see him. It was risky business, but I needed to see him to make sure he was doing okay. Slipping past the royal guards was quite a complex task. And, while I managed to enter the palace halls unseen, my heart was thumping rapidly. My anxiety peaked, unease gnawing at my insides. Silence hung heavy in the air. The palace seemed more eerie than I'd expected. To make sure I didn't raise any suspicion among the guards, I ambushed one of the maids and quickly changed my clothes. Now dressed as a maid, I made my way to the inner court, and by chance, I saw the royal chamber. Written on the door in gold were the words, 'His Majesty's Chamber.'Two stoic guards were stationed along the passageway, swords in
DARIAN The moment I stepped into the palace, the pressure on my chest increased. I was way too tense for comfort. It had nothing to do with my poor health. I just couldn't recall the last time my father had asked to have dinner with me. "Welcome, your majesty," the guards stationed in front of the courtyard greeted. "Where's my father?" I asked."He's in the courtyard. Dinner preparations has been made," one of them responded, his head lowered. When I walked into the courtyard, my eyes widened at the sight of the unfamiliar setting. Warm fairy lights illuminated the yard, and arranged on the table was a whole feast of delicacies. My father, seated on a golden chair at the rear end of the table, gestured at the chair on the opposite end with a smile on his face. My father's smile was just as rare as his invitation.When he spoke, his voice was surprisingly gentle."What are you waiting for? Sit down." Quietly, I took my seat, my gaze meeting my father's again."We used to h
AVA Darian stirred as I dabbed his forehead with a damp towel. Four hours had slipped by since we returned home. Keegan had fallen silent. He was sitting by the window, staring at the sunlit afternoon sky. I knew he was taking his time to process his feelings about the whole thing that had happened a few hours before. "He's not dead yet, Keegan" Darian suddenly said, his eyes still closed. "You're awake" Keegan stated, rising to his feet. Darian opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly."I was never asleep. I couldn't. Especially not when your mind is unsettled" he said, his gaze trained on Keegan."How do you know that? I was sure I blocked-" Keegan started to say."You probably succeeded in hiding your feelings from Ava. However, you failed to completely block me out" Darian cut him off.Keegan sighed, running his fingers through the locks of his hair."How're you feeling? The poison must be lethal if you're still feeling the effects.""Don't change the topic " Darian brea
KEEGAN Terror seized me, it's suffocating grip unyielding. Darian was lying in my arms, gasping for air. Right before my eyes, Ava had just been abducted by Bloody Martyr. "No... what do I... what do I do?" I breathed, black dots swarming around the edges of my vision. "Fucking snap out of it, Creed!" a familiar voice yelled, grabbing me by the shoulder. My wide eyed gaze met Venom's. His brows were furrowed, his eyes darkened with fury. "My mates...I need to save them...I can't..."A slice of pain exploded on my cheek, my head jerking to the side with the impact of Venom's thunderous slap. I closed my eyes, tasting the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. "I said, snap out of it" he growled, his eyes glowing red. "We need to get the poison out of his Majesty's system." "How do we do that?" I breathed, staring down at Darian who was evidently in a lot of pain. Before I could process Venom's next action, he'd slashed across the inside of Darian's left wrist with his claws.
