"My love" he said to me , oh how I've missed his gentle voice , he hugged me back caressing my back. I disengage from the hug and looked straight into eyes which was staring back at me with a smile on his lips.
He cupped my face in his large palm" did you miss me my love" he asked and I nodded my head.
" I'm sorry I left you alone, did anyone threaten you".
"No" I shook my head and at the same time my stomach growled and my face turned crimson red in embrassment. I turned my head away avoiding his eyes.
Derek smiled watching his little mate's reaction "didn't you had dinner already"
"Uh I ate fruits" I said.
"" Fruits?" He said and I nodded. " Did you go to the forest by your self " he asked frowning.
"" No , Prince Liam took me there. He said his your brother ".
" You met my brother?"
"Yes" I answered.
"He came here to meet you?"
"No , I met him at the garden, so he took me to the forest" I said trut
" Noooo" I screamed as I woke up from my horrible nightmare panting and sweating. My scream woke Derek as he sat up on the bed too moving close to me."My love what happened, why did you scream so loud" he asked me and I started crying." No. don't cry now, come here" he said pulling me close to his body as my head rested on his chest.He caressed my back calming me down as I was still trembling from the nightmare I just had."It's ok, I'm here don't cry" he said to me.When I'm calm, I pulled away from him as I dragged my legs up holding it as I placed my chin on my knees. My eyes were red from crying."Did you had a nightmare again" I heard him ask me and I nodded my head as I sniffed. " I saw him again" I said."He dragged me into a black hole " I said "his eyes were black and... and his tongue was coming out of his mouth like a snake". I said still shaking in fear.Derek wondered why his mate kept on seeing Leonard in
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS DEREK??" Clarissa voice rang inside the dinning room, she couldn't take it anymore.The fork I held in my hand fell back on the table when I heard the queen's angry voice. The question was directed to Derek but her eyes were staring at me angrily.When I looked up to meet her eyes, they were already red as her hand turned to fist, I quickly looked away. Maybe I shouldn't have come here, maybe I should have just been with Elia in the room.If not for the fact that I have nowhere to go, and Derek was the one who saved me from the slaves prison. I wouldn't be here in the first place, atleast I wasn't the only human in this city." what is it mother?" Derek answered his mother in a calm voice not even bothered if she was about to explode on her seat."Eat my love" Derek said to me as he picked the fork on the table and gave it to me. I smiled and collected the fork and but I didn't eat immediately.My gaz
"Ignore him my love" I heard Derek said to me. Him?? And then I saw the woman shifted into a man , she was a shapeshifter too wait? Magnus , I should have known better. " Magnus " I called his name. " Hello dear did you miss me" he said smiling showcasing his perfect white teeth. "You decived me" I said frowning. "Did I?" Magnus said to me feigning an innocent face. Derek who sat on the chair didn't like the way his mate was conversing with Magnus stood up and walked towards his mate who crouched down still holding the pink flowery dress in my hand. "Stop disturbing her" I saw Derek stood in between us . " oops sorry, I was just telling her that the pink dress will look good on her" Magnus said raising both hands up. " My love did you find the one you want" Derek said to me ignoring Magnus who went to seat on the chair I sat before. " Yes I like the pink dress" I said showing it to him.
By the time of the morning I was woken up by the aroma of food, my gaze moved to the dinning table and I saw lots of food on the table and some fruits with two glasses of water. I heard running water coming from the bathroom, it was then I noticed that Derek wasn't in bed with me, I got out of the duvet that covered me as my feet touched the white marble floor, and before I could take any step, he came out of the bathroom with his hair dripping water , he had a towel round his waist and a towel on his neck which he used in drying his wet hair. When our eyes met , he smiled at me " good morning my love , did you sleep well?". He asked me. "Yes " I said nodding my head as my gaze landed on his bare chest, his mouthwatering strong abs calling for me to touch them. His strong arms, broad shoulders, I noticed that he had a bird tattoo that has it wings spread across his chest, I quickly tore my eyes away from the breathtaking view before me looking d
"Yea , you're right." I said " that's Prince Liam's mate". "Mate?? What's that" Elia said. " It's like a partner or wife as you said, someone who you spend the rest of your life with forever" I explained. " How did you know about that" Elia said still looking down at Magnus and Liam who were saying something we can't hear. "Derek told me" I said and I felt something touched my feet and I jumped out of fear. "Oh my God" I said holding my chest when I saw that it was my rabbit. "What happened" Elia asked me "Sorry, the rabbit rubbed it's back on my feet" I said walking closer to the rabbit and picked it up and caressed it's back "hey there you must be hungry" I said . "How are you going to feed it" Elia asked me as she moved away from the window and sat on the bed. " I'll ask Venetia to bring me carrots" i said as I rang a little bell connected to the wall, Derek said I could use the bell to call Venetia whe
" Follow me " Liam said still carrying Aria in his arms, she was so little in his arms, like he was carrying a baby as he was in his giant form. He walked pass his mother who was fuming in anger.Elia quickly followed Liam, as Aria has told her about him, she knew she could trust Liam.Magnus who was also walking in the in garden heard the conversation going on between the mother and son duo , he stood at a corner where they won't be able to see him.And just then he saw Liam carrying Aria who looked like she was sleeping in his arms ' what happened to her' he asked in his head, Magnus didn't notice the other human who was standing a little bit far from the mother and son.It was when Liam told the little human who was Elia to follow him, that's when Magnus noticed Elia, when his grey eyes settled on Elia, his heart skipped a beat.He held his chest ' what just happened, what was that?' he asked in his head. He found himself staring at Elia t
After Magnus left the garden, he went to his room as he stood by his window, thinking why his heart skipped the moment he set his eyes on Elia.He hadn't paid attention to Elia, even after they saved her from the slaves prison.He hadn't think of having a mate now, could it be that Elia was his mate? It can't be. He will have to check it out again by opening up his heart to be sure.And if his heart skipped a beat again, then she's truly the one, thus Magnus left his room to go to the room where Elia and Aria were staying.When he got to the room, he didn't even bother to knock on the door as that's how he usually bagde into Derek's room forgetting that this was girls room.When he opened the door of the room, he met two pairs of eyes staring back at him, one green and the other black.He didn't even knock ' how rude ' I said in my head. " Magnus" I called his name."Hi" Magnus said scratching his head grinning."Do
Today been one week since Derek took me to rohir cave, and me confessing my love to him, and today was the queen's birthday. Servants were decorating the hall as the birthday will be be taking place in the evening. I stood at the balcony staring at the giants and giantess moving in and out of the castle. Some servants cleaning the walls of the castle, some plucking out weeds that has grown, some trimming the grass that beautified the castle. And then I felt strong arms go around my waist, I knew it was Derek as he rested his chin on my shoulder. "My love what are you looking at ?" He asked me. "Uh nothing" I said. " are you sure" " Yes" I answered. " You're worried I can see it on your face , tell me what is it" Derek said as he lifted his chin off my shoulder and turned my face so I could look at him. "I.. I don't think I want to attend your mother's birthday, like she hates me so my presence won't
