Davina’s POV
The amount of pain that crossed Ian’s features at my remark almost made the guilt settle inside me, but I didn’t let it. I wasn’t even halfway done. I had so much pent up anger towards him that could leave him unconscious if I fully acted on it.
In my peripheral vision, I saw Jude and Robert stop their brawling and watch us.
Ian didn’t say anything to me. He quickly recovered from my last hits; both the physical and the verbal ones, and took his stance again, masking his face under a professional façade.
“Fight like you fucking mean it, or don’t fight at all!” I hissed at him before he moved to hit me again.
He increased his speed a little but the strength behind his kick was still so weak to do even any damage to me if he managed to hit me with it.
I didn’t bother to block it this time, I lowered my hands to my sides and stood still as I watched what he was going to d
Davina’s POVDefeating Ian felt so fucking satisfying.However, my only discord at that moment was, I wished I was able to learn all of that before I had to watch my mom die right before my eyes without being able to prevent it.If I practiced magic before we were kidnapped, I wouldn’t have let anyone take us prisoners in the first place.I stood over Ian as I let the great feeling of being able to beat him up wash over me.He was still trying to get back the breath that I knocked out of him.I extended my hand towards him and he looked at me with genuine surprise.He blinked twice before accepting my help to lift him into his feet.I squeezed my hold on him as I said tightly “I still hate you, and I still don’t forgive you, but that did release a lot of anger I have towards you. I can totally go for another round another day, maybe even a longer round than this, but don
Jude’s POVIan and I were focused on each other, but when my heart felt like it was catching on fire out of a sudden, I stopped attacking Ian immediately and turned to look for Davina.I caught her just as she was shutting the door behind her.She had her back to me, so I couldn’t see her face, but I could feel how hurt she was feeling.What the hell happened? She was happy two minutes ago after beating up Ian.“I know what happened” Elijah said gravelly.He relayed the conversation he heard between Davina and Robert; when I was busy focusing on Ian, and the very hurtful words she said to him in the end before she walked away, leaving him completely heart broken.I looked over at Robert and saw him wiping his tears away with a very broken expression on his face.“Try and distract him with more practice and some company Ian. He needs to keep a clear head to be able to save his daughter. I’ll go check on Davina” I mind linked Ian grimly.Ian nodded his head sadly as I walked towards the
Davina’s POVSixteen girls! Give or take that is, goddess knows how many he forgot to count or remember.Ok, so I was expecting him to be experienced from the way he was so…. Bold about pleasuring me, but sixteen! That’s a lot.I have sixteen girls to be compared to when I decide to have sex with him and I was totally oblivious and inexperienced. How will I ever measure up to what he was used to getting before?And the hurtful thing I came to realize is, he’s used to having sex a lot and hasn’t had any since I came into his life. He was respecting my fear, my constant worry and guilt for my sister, and my hesitation by not pushing me into it or even hinting at it. But the longer I deny him the pleasure he was constantly used to getting from others, the more guilty I’ll feel for it. And the guiltier I feel for not giving myself to him, the more I’ll consider having sex with him when I wasn’t ready for it at all, just to stop my mind from constantly reminding me that he was denying hims
Jude’s POV“How is she?” Ian asked me when I stepped out of my living quarters.He was waiting for me so we could go together to IT.“She’s hurting over what she said to him but she’s too stubborn to even admit it to herself. How is Robert?” I asked firmly.His face filled with sadness as he said in a strained voice “Completely heart broken but trying as hell not to show it. I think they have that in common. He’s waiting for us there”I nodded my head and we resumed walking in silence.The IT was a huge office in the first floor of the pack house. It served as our security and protection. They were responsible for maintaining the hidden security cameras installed around the borders as well as the streets of the pack, analyzing any upcoming threats at the edge of our property, maintaining and installing everything computer, system, and network related to the public properties of the pack. Namely the pack house, the hospital, and the school.It had around fifteen members currently worki
Davina’s POV “I thought they would never let us shift back” I said tiredly to Jude as we walked back to the pack house after wearing the clothes they left at the foot of the forest before they shifted. They have been together for the past three hours and let’s just say they didn’t really do a lot of ‘training’ like they were supposed to be doing. If you could combine the actual time they were training in, it would probably equal to forty minutes out of three whole hours! So what did they do with the remaining time you ask? They couldn’t keep their paws off each other as they nibbled, sucked, and affectionately bit each other every two minutes. They were so fucking horny it made me so irritated because I couldn’t get that kind of thing yet. “And whose fault is that my dear? Go ahead, make love to your mate instead of being jealous, what’s stopping you?” argued Rowena challengingly. I’m not going to do it until I save Irena and make sure she’s okay. I can’t have sex for the first
Jude’s POV“What does it do exactly?” I asked her rigidly.I was still astonished at the challange she just threw at me with a straight bold face.She was hell bent on using magic during the battle and I wasn’t completely sure I’ll be able to win that argument anymore.“It protects the pack from outer threats. When the Dickinson pack passes through the shield, it will turn them into humans, not bound by any supernatural powers or magic, even his warlock’s magic will wear off if she casts any spells on them to help them gain an advantage. You and your pack will be the only ones able to maintain your wolf forms and powers. It will tip the scales greatly and not to mention, minimize so much unnecessary loss to your people” she said seriously.I have to admit, it was a tremendous advantage that will most definitely guarantee our win.But I was still not okay with her using her powers so soon after she triggered them.“How advanced is that spell?” I asked her curtly, warning her to be trut
Davina’s POV“What do you mean?” asked Ian in confusion, obviously feeling like he was missing something.Jude looked at me expectantly.I have to admit, I was pretty annoyed at his obvious attempt to have me reconcile with my father forcibly.But the opportunity he was giving me to surprise his betas repeatedly, kind of made up for his sneaky scheme.“I will cast a protective shield around the territory that will render the Dickenson pack’s supernatural powers; including their warlock’s, useless. They cannot shift, heal, or have supernatural strength or speed. They will just be weak humans” I said firmly looking only at Ian.I watched his eyebrows shoot up in admiration as he said in surprise “That….. Is a pretty powerful shield, I admit”“Powerful indeed” said Robert grimly.I turned to him for the first time and looked at him with one raised eyebrow.“You have something to say? Don’t be shy about it” I taunted coldly.He looked at me sternly and said tightly “That kind of spell req
Jude’s POV “I’ll be damned!” I heard Ian whisper next to me in astonishment. I slowly watched as Robert’s wolf started whimpering and twitching uncomfortably, before turning back into his naked human form. Davina, who I noticed was a little clogged up as soon as she saw her father’s wolf in front of her, was staring with wide eyes at the scene that unfolded before her. When she eventually broke out of her haze and registered that her spell worked without any faults or consequences, the deepest most genuine smile claimed her face, she looked at me with pure bliss as she ran towards me and threw her hands around my neck in a breath-taking passionate embrace. I took her in immediately and folded my arms around her, as the same smile broke on my face too. I was so damn proud of her. Proud of her strength, her strong will to use her magic for the greater good, and her confidence in herself and consequentially in me as well to keep her sane and away from the darkness’s reach. “I did i
