Desiree's POV

For a moment, I cannot breathe. The maiden's finger is still pointing at me.

“You took Macy from me.”

The words echo through the room like something unreal, something that doesn't belong in the same world as the quiet afternoons I spent drawing in the garden or the small giggles of a nine-year-old girl running down the hallways.

My mind refuses to accept what I just heard and I simply stand there with everyone staring.

Every face in the room has turned toward me, and I feel t

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Hundred and nineteen

    Desiree povI feel myself in darkness while I struggle to pull back slowly into whatever would make my eyes open widely. My head feels incredibly heavy, a dull, throbbing ache pulsing right behind my temples. The first thing that comes back to me is some fresh scent. I blink my eyes open, the bright candlelight of our bedroom making my vision blur for a few seconds.“Des? Oh, goddess, Des, stay still.”Gillian’s deep, rough voice cuts through the quiet room. It sounds completely strained, cracked with a sincere kind of panic I have never heard from him before. As my eyes finally focus, I realize I am lying flat on our bed, tucked tightly under the blankets.Sitting right on the side of the mattress is Gillian. His shoulders are completely hunched over, his hair a total, messy wreck as if he’s been yanking his fingers through it for hours. His face is pale, his eyes wide and filled with a fierce, terrifying worry.Standing right behind him, leaning over the bedpost, are Lyra and R

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Hundred and eighteen

    Gillian’s POV “Desiree,” I say, my voice deep and instantly filled with relief when my eyes glance up and meet with her. Finally, She's back after so many hours and rushing up in the morning without having any conversation with me. I start to push my chair back to stand up, a genuine smile breaking across my face. “You’re back.”She doesn't answer me. She just stares at me for one long, incredibly icy second, her chest heaving softly behind her white blouse. Then, without saying a single word, she turns on her heel and storms out of the room, her heels clicking furiously against the floor “Desiree, wait!” I call out, completely ignoring the work and the plate of food as I jump up from the table.“Gillian, let her go,” Seraphina grumbles loudly behind me, her voice turning sharp and annoyed as she stomps her foot. “She is just being dramatic again! I was only trying to serve you a nice dinner, and she walks in here acting like a child.”I don't even waste my breath looking back

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Hundred and seventeen

    Desiree's POV I suddenly want to wrap my fingers around the glass water pitcher on the table and smash it right over Lucius’s smug head.He is doing this on purpose.“You have a very disgusting mouth, Lucius,” I snap, my voice carrying a cold whisper that completely cuts through his purring tone. I stand up slowly, smoothing down my clothes, my eyes drilling straight into his. “There is nothing private or romantic about a formal trade negotiation. Alpha Julian is a prestigious client from the West, and we are reviewing the textile agreements that are going to fund this pack’s winter supplies. If your tiny, rotten brain can only see a scandal in a business dinner, then you are even more useless to this territory than I thought.”Lucius doesn't lose his smirk. He slowly steps further into the office, his eyes scanning the cutlery and the elegant linen cloth that Julian’s beta laid out. Cunning as fuck, he tilts his head, a dry, mocking chuckle leaving his lips. “Oh, come now, Desiree

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Hundred and sixteen

    Desiree’s POV I'm supposed to be finishing a background sketch for the upcoming winter display, but my mind is entirely somewhere else as I scratch the charcoal against a rough paper filling the empty corners of my office. I still feel the fear of yesterday and even though I try to shun it off with a positive words, it still followed me every fucking where even after the date last night and through out the all night. Every fucking time I close my eyes, I just see Seraphina's growing stomach and the smug faces on the elders waiting to tear my whole life apart. Lyra is sitting on the small plush sofa across from my desk, quietly mixing a tray of soft water-based paints. She’s been watching me for the past hour. I can feel her sharp intelligent eyes tracking my tense, stiff posture of my shoulder and the continuous sigh I had been continuously giving. And I am pretty sure she's still taking her time to know what's wrong with me..or even ask me the question directly and clearly. I s

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Hundred and fifteen

    Desiree’s POV “I was wondering if you would honor me by going out on a date with me tonight, Desiree?” For a second, I just stand there, completely frozen. My mind goes completely blank as I stare at the silver card sitting on the counter, then back up at Alpha Julian's smug, handsome face. I am so shocked by his boldness that I can't even find my voice right away. Did this man really just walk into my gallery, in the middle of my husband's territory, and ask me out on a date? I let out a sharp, breathless laugh, my hand coming up to touch the necklace at my throat as my guards quickly snap right back into place. “A date?” I repeat, raising an eyebrow at him, my voice completely clear and filled with total disbelief. “Alpha Julian, I am incredibly flattered by your interest in our business, but surely you must know that I am married. I am the Luna of the Northern Pack. My husband is Alpha Gillian.” I spell it out to him. Julian doesn't even act all surprised, or embarra

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Hundred and fourteen

    Desiree’s POV A week passed since the night of the TreatyGala, and the villa has finally settled into a new form that doesn't make me want to shrink or lock myself in a tower to make people feel seen. The success of the exhibition was absolutely massive and since the signing, I can testify that the gallery has been seeing incredible sales, with merchants and high-ranking pack members from both the North and the South coming in daily to buy the artwork and contract our designers. What more can I even ask for?The moon goddess has been nice and blissful to me so far. I stand in front of the mirror, trying to tame a few wild curls that have escaped my messy bun. My skin is flush, my breathing still a little shaky, and my lips are a little swollen from a very thorough…incredibly sweet morning session with Gillian. Yep. He has decided to punish me because I wasn't available last night and last three nights. One thing Gillian can't go bad with? Even if there's a lot going on in the t

    Desiree's POV“This is an order from the Alpha and you do not have the right to choose between a yes or a no!” Eliana bark, like a dog who has gone berserk. I flinch back, disbelief clawing in my face at the tone she choose to use on me. “You will not yell at me like that,” I warn, my hand pointi

    Lucius's POV I stand near the tall window, one hand braced against the dark wooden frame, staring out into the night as if the nights will suddenly spit her back to me. The petty little problem, Desiree. The girl with too much fire in her eyes and too much stubbornness. She acted as though she w
