Chapter Sixty One

Desiree’s POV

I pull the hoody tighter, trying to blend into the large, abstract sculpture in front of us. I am in Lyra's private gallery. Around us, the elite is all colorful with oil paint and expensive champagne.

I feel exposed, every vibration of a closing door sounding makes my heart jump as I stare back in fear.

“You're vibrating , Desiree,” Lyra murmurs, not looking at me as she adjusts the lightning on a portrait of a weeping willow. “If you don't relax your shoulde

  • Mated to the Enemy: Imprisoned by Mate Bond   95

    Desiree’s POV Gillian’s jaw is set so tight that I can hear his teeth grinding. He doesn't even argue much with me, he knows that tone already and he knows that when I square my shoulders like this, I'm not just the Luna anymore. Okay, I'm making it seem dramatic. As we descend the stairs, the air in the villa is strangely so thun. When we finally reach the landing, I see her.Seraphina is sitting exactly where Kael said she would be, on the bench near the brand entrance. She looks different than the last time I saw her. The sharp, arrogant side she used to carry like a weapon has been blunted by fatigue. Her hair, usually perfectly coiffed, is loose and slightly frizzy from travel.But it’s her silhouette that stops the air in my lungs.She’s wearing a soft, stretchy maternity dress, and the bump is unmistakable. It looks heavy , rounded, and prominent. She isn't just pregnant; she’s far along and everyone can see that.She looks up as our footsteps echo on the floor. Her eyes i

    Desiree’s POV “And you’re mine,” he growls, before his mouth finds mine, ending the argument the only way he knows how.Gillian’s body leans against mine, filling his scent in my nostrils and my body. He doesn't move to take me to the bedroom, he just holds me there, pinned against the cool wood of the wall with his forehead resting against mine. His breath is sending heat on my skin, like he's just run a mile to catch me before I slipped through his fingers. “You are still mad,” he murmurs, his voice vibrating deep in his chest.“I'm furious,” I breathe out, though my hands are busy tangling themselves in the hair at the nape of his neck. “You acted like a caveman in front of my friend. You probably embarrassed Kael for the next ten years.”Gillian lets out a low, rough chuckle. He slides his hands down from the wall, his palms skimming over the fabric of my blazer before settling firmly on my hips. He pulls me closer, making sure there isn't a single inch of air between us.“Kael

    Desiree’s POV “I hope you don't mind if I join you?” He asks, his grin widening as he looks directly at Ronan. “I'd hate for the conversation to get boring.”My eyes widens and my lips part, but I am too stunned to even give a response. Who the hell comes all the way from the villa on his Luna's first day at work after Instructing his beta to follow me. Who the hell appears even after seeing I am with someone?I blink my eyes, giving him signs to give us space but his next words renders me more speechless. “Do you have something in your eye? I can help you-” he says, standing up to touch my eyes but I quickly avoid his hand touching me with an awkward smile. “Oh... darling,” I say, my voice sounding a little tighter than I than intended. My eyes fix on Ronan, who like he's having the absolute time of his life watching the Alpha of the North play the role of the uninvited third wheel. Ronan doesn't even look intimidated. If anything, he looks delighted, leaning back as he mirrors

    Desiree’s POV “No way,” the person says, their face lighting up with a radiant, happy beam as they begin to run toward me. “I can’t believe it’s actually you!”I stand frozen on the manicured path, my hand still gripping the strap of my briefcase, as the figure sprints toward me with a grin that could outshine the afternoon sun. Ronan!Before I can even process the shock, he's in front of me, skidding to a halt. He looks exactly the same - the same effortless, messy hair, the same twinkle in his eyes that suggests he's always five seconds away from a joke or a heist. "Desiree!" he laughs, his voice like a refreshing splash of cold water. "I heard a rumor that a certain fierce Luna was taking over this place, but seeing you here... in that suit? You look like you’re ready to buy the whole territory just to spite someone."I find my voice, a genuine smile breaking through my professional face. "Ronan. Lyra mentioned I might be seeing you, but I didn't think it would be so soon."He

    Desiree’s POV “Get your ass back here, Des.”I hear Gillian’s voice from behind, halting me to a stop at the entrance of the villa. I turn back to face him, and I see Gillian striding toward me with a mischievous grin that tells me he isn't quite ready to let me step into my professional world just yet. “Where do you think you are going?” He asks, his pace slow and intentional as he winks at me. I raise my brows at him, adjusting the strap of my bag as I folded my arms together. “I believe I mentioned a gallery inspection? Contracts? Being a boss? Any of that ringing a bell, Alpha?”Gillian reaches me in a few strides, his large body covering me, effectively blocking the sunlight. He looks me up and down, his eyes lingering on the sharp lines of my blazer before meeting my gaze with a spark of pure deviltry that speaks volumes of what naughty thing he is thinking about. “I heard all of that,” he murmurs, stepping into my personal space until the scent of his cologne wraps around m

    Gillian’s POV “Alpha, I need to bring something to your notice.” Keal says as soon as I get into the house, a disturbed face plastered on his face. “What is it?” I ask and I keep walking, my attention focused on getting to Desiree. “Is Lucius disturbing?”Kael sighs, and it makes me turn my face to him. “He's up to something again?”“Yes...” He stutters. “On Luna Desiree’s other, I released him and he told her about Seraphina showing up with heavy pregnancy to proclaim her place. Something like she on her way back and you having to keep the secret from her.” My eyes widen in disbelief. “What?”I stop dead in my tracks, my eyes flying back to Kael. He gives me a shrug that says ‘I am sorry.”“Seraphina is coming back? When?” My blood runs cold, then boils in a second flat. The thought of Seraphina coming back disgusted me. “Why don't I know that someone is coming back to my domain, Kael? Have any answers to that?” I ask, my voice dropping to a dangerous, low frequency. Kael doesn'

    Gillian's POV Desiree lies in the center of my bed, unmoving except for the slow rise and fall of her chest. The healer's bandages wrap around her throat in clean white layers that look too bright against her skin. She has always been fierce, but now, seeing her like this feels wrong for me. I fe
