Desiree’s POV

As Gillian orders his guards to open the door that perhaps leads to his father's stay, his hand clasps into mine, a sign of protection.

I cough slightly, trying to remove my hand from his grip but he only holds it tighter, causing me to raise a brow at him but I guess that is the worst mistake because his eyes are on mine, staring intensely.

“Don't even try to,” He warns and I clear my throat awkwardly before murmuring.

“You don't really have to. I can manage myself.”

He does

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

    Gillian's POV “How the hell are you coping, man?”Rhydian’s rough voice comes from behind me, followed by a heavy slap on my shoulder. I don’t turn away from the water immediately. I just stare out at the lake, watching the small waves lap against the wooden dock. The cool breeze is a relief, but even out here, the thick, messy tangle of my life follows me.Just without my damn knowledge. “I’m not,” I grumble, taking a slow sip from the glass of ale in my hand. “I’m one mistake away from throwing my brother and his new woman into the lake, and if Seraphina says the word ‘baby’ one more time in that fake, sweet voice, I might lose my mind completely.”Rhydian lets out a loud, booming laugh that echoes across the shore. He leans his big frame against the wooden railing next to me, his sharp eyes scanning the porch where the women are gathered as if my life right now is a sickening joke to him. Crazy crazy “You’ve got a circus on your hands, Gillian,” Rhydian says, his tone softenin

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

    Desiree’s POV “Where do you think you're going after ditching dinner last night?” Gillian’s voice breathes behind me while I put on my earrings.I don't bother to look back at him. I just stare at his reflection in the mirror. He is leaning against the bathroom doorframe, his hair wet from the shower, with a towel slung low around his hips.“Thought you were out dealing with some rough business, husby,” I reply, a small smile playing on my face. But before I can say anything further, his hand finds my waist smoothly, making me jolt at the sudden warmth of his skin.“It's quite offensive that you try to shove away my complaints,” he murmurs, his chest pressing against my back as he looks at me through the glass. “Why did you miss dinner last night? Ronan fed you full?”I turn around in his grip, my hands coming up to rest on his bare, scarred chest. “I didn't ditch dinner. I just chose to have a quiet salad in our room instead of sitting at a table with a two-headed snake and your br

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

    Desiree’s POV By the time four o’clock rolls around, the gallery is finally so cool. The interns have gone to the lower hall for their art history lecture, and the heavy lifting for the day is done.I'm sitting at the large mahogany desk in my back office, the floor-to-ceiling windows behind me glowing with the afternoon soon. My heels are kicked off under the desk, and I’m slowly sipping a cup of black tea while checking the budget sheet for the grand opening.The door opens without a knock, and Ronan walks in. He isn’t carrying his clipboard this time. Instead, he has two small brown paper bags in his hands, smelling faintly of fried dough and cinnamon from the little bakery down the street.“Peace offering,” he says, tossing one of the bags onto my desk. He drops into the leather chair opposite me, stretching his long legs out and crossing them at the ankles. “You’ve been staring at that ledger for three hours, Des. Your eyes are going to turn into little dollar signs if you don

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Hundred

    Desiree’s POV Why the fuck is he here again?I sigh out loud, rolling my eyes at the sight of the hurricane in human form. It seems like every time I finally get a moment of peace, Lucius appears just to breathe chaos back into the room. Like someone who's addicted to me, badly! Yes badly!“Lucius, I didn't think you would come here so early.” That is Seraphina's voice behind me, instantly changing from a vicious snake to a sweet, sheepish little girl. “Oh, you are with Freya?” She adds, peeking at the person stepping into the foyer behind him. A young woman steps out from Lucius’s back, looking incredibly pompous. She has her nose tilted up, her expensive fur coat covered over her shoulders, and an expression that screams she thinks she’s better than everyone else in the room.She looks exactly like Seraphina, and it honestly won't be any surprise if they turn out to be best friends.Oh yes?“Lucius said you had arrived, and that's why I tagged along,” the Freya girl acknowledges

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Ninety nine

    Desiree’s POV “So cute.” Gillian mumbles in my ear as his hands trail down my slightly exposed body with the morning sun bright and sharp as the carriage pulls up to the villa gates. The glass pavilion feels like a real beautiful dream to me from another life. I can't still believe that our first date was so memorable that even the sensation of Gillian's hand on my body sends electric jolt into my soul. And honestly, I feel like staying back all over again but as the gate of the villa open, reality comes crashing back to me. Gillian holds my hand tightly as we walk into the foyer. He looks rested, the dark circles under his eyes gone, and his scent is calm and relaxed. I’m wearing the same blue silk dress from last night, with one of his big black coats thrown over my shoulders to keep out the morning chill.What more can I be ungrateful about? Having a man like Gillian in my life.“I have to go check on my father,” Gillian says, turning to me near the stairs. He reaches out and g

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   Ninety eight

    Desiree’s POV I look at the note in my hand, my thumb tracing on the side of the paper as I try to force down a laugh. “Let me fix it, Des. Trust me for just one night.”I let out a soft sigh, the anger that kept me suffocating all morning finally beginning to evaporate without even saying too much. I glare up at Kael, who is still standing there like a statue, sweating under his collar as he waits for my execution or my compliance. “He really thinks he can just send a bunch of weeds and make everything fine, doesn't he?” I ask, though the small smile playing on my lips betrays my words and I know it's the work of my wolf, Lia. Ronan lets out a loud chuckle from behind the desk, leaning back in his chair. “Hey, don’t look at me, Des. In the South, we send jewels. The North is clearly... a bit more rustic. But hey, at least the man has a pulse.”I throw a playful glare at Ronan before turning back to my guard. “Where is he, Kael?”“The carriage is waiting outside, Luna,” Kael says

    Desiree's POV “You wouldn't dare!” That is all it took to allow Seraphina tag along to the coronation party. Lucius went against the idea of cutting ties with Dickson, reminding him of how he helped their father in one way or the other. The irony of life is almost laughable because you cannot t

    Gillian’s POV I close my eyes, trying to restrain my anger as I hear footsteps. Can't mistake Desiree for her, Seraphina. Even in my private study room, her perfume still sinks into the room as she walks in. I can hear her heels clicking towards my side, irritation clinging to my body. Why don'
