AITHNE'S POV~VeMiCa Restaurant~ "Here's your Derita Pasta Frittata." "Thank you." Jeyre and I said as the lady carefully dropped the tray on the table and served us. "You're welcome." She smiled, leaning upwards. Then she suddenly paused and leaned down slightly, inclining towards me. "You're obviously not from around here." She said and my mouth opened slightly in surprise. "I mean, it's way too obvious given your fashion sense." 'By the goddess!'I swore internally and I felt Majesty's mocking chuckle within me. 'I see what you're doing.' I telepathically retorted at her. 'Remind me to go shopping with Jeyre immediately we get ought of here.' The curious waitress was still talking. "...yet, you seem familiar with our restaurant's most special cuisine. Also, I sense a powerful aura around you." Her eyes fell on my lower body and a flash appeared in her eyes. Pity! Pity? I don't need that from anyone around here. "It seems you might have a sad story you may want to s
AITHNE'S POV From the corner of my eyes I could see he was getting closer and closer, his graceful strides covering the distance between him and Regan who was still standing beside our table-- whose warm, cheerful expression, I observed, became clouded at the sight of the man. Well, why not... Even an Alpha would tremble at the recognition of the Alpha King talk more of an... I observed Regan once more. I could sense a strong aura around him but I couldn't place his goddess given identity. Hmm, regardless... I think it's okay to be this way. But why would the great Alpha King of Elgarion, ruler of the mighty Crystal-Moon Dynasty, visit this restaurant? Well, that's because...*Focus..Aithne.. Focus* Majesty chided.*Yeah, right. What am I even doing?* I decided to ignore such thoughts and focus on my current situation. Whatever the case may be, the owners must be honoured to have him visit their coast. But why do I feel Regan seems displeased by his presence? Even though he h
AITHNE'S POV "EWE? Is this the place?" Jeyre asked as she helped me alight from the huge transportation medium I just learned was a bus. There's so much to learn in this city and about this city. Its advancement was unimaginable over the years. To be honest, I didn't think the Alpha King to be young. I had imagined him to be a man in his late fifties of sixties like my father. And was actually taken aback when I confirmed my suspicion of him being the Alpha King. I wondered if he had been the Alpha King for a long time already and if he was the force behind this massive technological and infrastructural advancement in the Capital City. "Aithne, I'm so happy you chose to come to Elgarion." Jeyre suddenly said, excitment clear in her voice while helping me settle into my wheelchair again. "I know right," I smiled, loving the way the wind gently toyed with my hair and enjoying the feel of the evening breeze on my skin. "I'm so glad, my lady." She stood behind me and placed h
NARRATIVE It was way past noon when Aithne and Jeyre returned to their new home; a little lovely cottage, located in a small forest not quite far from the heart of the city. This was the first place Aithne searched for upon their arrival at the capital city. The cottage was precious to her, having a part of her dearest memories and thus Aithne had hoped she could still locate it and nothing would have changed about it in its own side of the city, given the vast redevelopment that had occured over the years in almost all the areas of Elgarion. It was the house where she had lodged with her parents when they had visited this city several years back. And by some miracle which she was greatly thankful for, the cottage was still intact as well as its nearby environs. The owner had clearly made much efforts to maintain it and ensuring its condition was exactly as it had been twelve years ago. And it seemed as though the owner was waiting for the real owner or as though
NARRATIVE “My King, what’s wrong? Are you alright? Did I do something wrong?” The silver blond inquired the moment she regained her balance after the rough manner she had fallen previously, a hint of fear and worry obvious in her violet eyes and facial expression. “It is nothing of your concern.” Cyne said tersely, not giving her a glance as he helped himself into his loose pair of pants. After briefly examining the scene around him seconds later, an obvious result of their intense moment some minutes ago, Cyne stood up from the bed, flexing his powerful muscles a little before grabbing his shirt from a nearby couch. “Nikoli would take you home. Your service here is done for now, Isobel.” The words easily rolled off his tongue as he made for the door. However, he paused on his elegant strides and turned around to the unclad female, sparing her a brief once-over glance. “And note, you must not come around on your own anymore,” he said and Isobel’s brows rose in question. “I woul
Her legs wrapped around his waist as his lips set all parts of her on fire. "Oh, Odin," she gasped, her breathing hitched as he planted soft teasing kisses on his mark along her neck, her moans filling up the dark room. Her mate gazed deep into her eyes and she could see his longing in his mesmerizing green eyes. And Aithne nodded her approval, a dazzling smile gracing her beautiful face. It wasn't the first time they were doing it and it's been a while since he marked her. Besides, they'd be officially performing the nuptials in the next full moon _ which was about a month from now... Just as Odin claimed her lips again, a loud unappreciated knock was made on the door of her room. Both groaned in disapproval, not willing to let go of their moment and answer the intruder. However, the knock came again, this time even louder. "My lady, the Alpha summons you." A soft feminine voice announced. And reluctantly, Aithne pulled away from Odin and straightened her dress. "It must be
AITHNE'S POV The sky was a blanket of darkness when I set out for Alsernia, the forest of doom, as it's renowned. I was accompanied by my mate _ Odin, as well as five of the pack's strongest warriors I had selected, as my father had allowed. And as Majesty led us through the highs and lows of the pathway to Alsernia, I was reclined in her subconscious, reflecting on my passionate but brief lovemaking with Odin before we had left Mooncrest pack's territory. Majesty purred in agreement of my reverie, as she tilted her head longingly towards the big wolf moving in similar pace beside us. Odin's wolf was huge, grey and strong. His strides were confident and almost graceful. Although he was bigger than the regular warrior wolves, my wolf _ Majesty, was still slightly bigger and stronger than him. My Alpha title explains the difference in our abilities better. This fact was never a problem for us because it's no news how fiercely and passionately I love and respect him. I love him wi
AITHNE'S POV Although I was enraged by Dyson's disrespect, I managed to stay cool because I need to hear it all. I need to know what he's up to, what this is about, so I'd know why he even bothered to ambush us. Dyson of course, noticed the change in the atmosphere but he still continued. "You see, all this is Varda's plan." My blood went still the instant I heard those words. I didn't realize Varda hated me this much. "But my darling Aithne, I'm glad to help her as well. It's no news how much I hate Alpha Demak and unfortunately, you had to be his heir. Therefore you're an obstacle to me, and of course, I must get rid of you." He paused dramatically, looking lost in his own thoughts. "When Varda came to me for help with a generous amount of silver, I was excited and instantly ready to do her bidding. Not just because of the money, not because I hate you _of course you're insufferable and your existence greatly annoys and makes me feel incapable_ but it's solely because I
