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 feel like I am the cause of this.

It should have been prevented. Standing on Lucius not seeing my father could have been avoided, however, things went south when Desiree was in the building.

  • 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

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

    Desiree’s POV And after tossing and turning all throughout the night after Gillian decided to chose Seraphina's world over mine, I'm already standing in front of the mirror, my fingers moving coldly as I pin my hair back. My reflection looks like a stranger wearing a cold indifference that I spent all night perfecting. Admist the commotion in my head, the door to the suite slowly open and I honestly do not need to turn around because I already know the person through their scent. Gillian Blackthorn. Yep. I am calling onto his full government name since I do not know him anymore, just the little details of his name. Gillian stops as few feet behind me and I'm the mirror, I can see him. He looks like hell with wrinkled clothes, his hair is a mess, and his eyes are bloodshot from a night spent sitting upright in a guest wing chair. “Des,” he says, his voice so raspy and tentative but that doesn't even get a wrink of my brows. I pick up my pearl earrings and click them into place,

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

    Gillian's POV “The healer said the blood is null.”Seraphina breaks the news the moment I step into the room, her voice airy and casual, as if she hasn't just sent a messenger to the villa acting like the world was ending. I feel the heat of Desiree right behind me with a sharp and grounding presence in the air. I scan the room. There is no blood, no emergency. There is only Seraphina lounging against the pillows of the guest bed, looking perfectly fine. My gaze catches the flash of pure disappointment on her face when her eyes land on Desiree trailing behind me. It is clear. She wants me alone in the room. I just hope this is not just a string she pulled to have me in here because at the end of the day, my father's health is important more than some silly pulling of strings. “What? Null?” Desiree's voice slips through the room. She steps around me, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, anger lacing her features with pure irritation. “You didn't confirm before screaming abo

    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

    Desiree's POV “Darling!” I call, running up to Gillian amidst everyone in the room. I cling to Gillian's shoulder like he is the only solid thing in the room that keeps shifting under my feets. I can smell his scents in my lungs, dark cedar and smoke, something that makes him more unique, and fo

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'
