LOGINNyssa's POV:Pain. For the first time in my life, I could not feel anything else but pain.This wasn’t some sort of headache, or discomfort. No, this was pure pain and agony, and it was on a level that I never ever thought could even be possible.The pain that exploded through my skull was so intense that it felt as though someone had driven molten steel directly into my brain. I screamed, not because it could help alleviate the pain, but because it was the only thing I could do.The sound tore itself right through my chest, and it was so intense that I felt my body begin to break from within. Just a few seconds ago, I was in bed with the man I loved with all my heart, completely safe and happy. The next, everything was gone from me.I couldn’t even open my eyes, nor could I breathe, think or move. All I wanted, all I could even want, was just freedom. Was release from this pain.No matter how much I wished for it to end, the pain continued. It was relentless, endless and all-consumin
Damien's POV:"Nyssa?" I called out with a pained voice.One second, everything had been perfect. And the next, she had screamed with far more pain in her voice than I had ever heard before in anyone else's voice.The sound was so harsh and loud that it ripped through the room like the spinning blade of a fan. The moment I heard her scream, I sat upright, my body moving before my brain had even gotten the chance to send the signal to it."Nyssa!" I called out again, my voice filled with fear as I reached out my trembling hands towards her.Nyssa had doubled over on the bed, both of her hands were clutching her head and her entire body was shaking and convulsing, as though she was having a seizure so painful, she could not even control herself.A second after I called out to her, another scream rippled out of her throat. It was raw, agonized, and just terrified enough that for a second, my heart stopped with complete fear.I immediately reached for her shoulders and grabbed it, taking
Nyssa’s POV:The second his mouth crashed into mine, the entire world disappeared, and in its place, heat and hunger rose up and threatened to devour us.Damien’s tongue shoved deep into my mouth, he was demanding as he locked his arms around my waist and pulled me tightly against his body.My lips parted, and my fingers clawed at his shirt, and I began to yank the fabric of his coat hard. Hard enough that even the buttons began to break and rip off, yanking fabric until buttons gave way.Damien smiled, and slowly began to walk me backwards into the chambers, and not once, as he was doing that, did he break off the kiss.His tongue danced with mine, while his fingers began to gently, but eagerly rip off my clothes. The moment my dress was loose, cool air hit my bare skin as my breasts pounced free.Damien’s hands immediately covered them, and even as we were kissing, he began to slowly fondle them. I moaned when his fingers began to roll over my hard nipples.I was far too lost in him
I blinked, and for a split second, I froze as I stared right at Lyra.I froze not because it was a surprise to see her. The truth was that, if there was anyone I had expected to crash the ceremony, it would have been her.Lyra had been my best friend for decades. I knew what she thought most of the time, and there was no way she would be able to resist the urge to show up. So, while I wasn’t surprised that she had showed up, I was surprised by just how little I cared about her presence.Even though I knew she was going to come, I had expected a small part of me to feel anger at the sight of her, or maybe satisfaction at finally winning. But instead, I felt nothing at all.The desire to walk over to her and send her out of the hall wasn’t even there, even when I momentarily tried to muster it up. Our eyes met, and I watched her grow tense.A flash of fear passed through her eyes, overclouding her rage. She took a step backwards, and prepared to run, but instead of walking towards her li
Nyssa's POV:"You conniving bitch!"The loud shrill scream filled the air, and the moment it did, everyone froze.One moment, laughter, cheers and music filled the air, the next, there was complete and utter silence as everyone turned their gaze towards the source of the scream.It only took me a second to recognize who the screamer was, Selene.Everyone stared at her in shock, and for a long moment, she just stood there, enraged and pissed with her hands clenched tightly into fists. She was breathing heavily, and her expression was twisted into one of pure rage.Around her, the crowd had long since parted, no one wanted to be in the vicinity of an obviously mad woman. Beside me, Damien shifted closer, and his hand immediately settled on my back. He was being protective, and while it was a welcome gesture, I didn’t think that I needed it.I expected Selene to think through her actions and stop, but my expectations were not met. It only took her a couple more seconds of heavy breathing
Lyra's POV:Lyra was furious. No, she shook her head. Furious was a light word, it wasn’t adequate to describe the amount of rage that was boiling within her. She was’t just furious, she was livid, burning and her health was seething.Today was going to be Nyssa’s mating day and the thought of Nyssa finally getting a man like Damien was more than enough for her to bear. Lyra tried to push the ceremony off her mind, but no matter what she did, it seemed to be stuck.And right now, every breath she took now felt like fire in her lungs. Why Nyssa?Why not me? Why not me?Those were the thoughts that kept on spiraling into her mind. What gave Nyssa the right to be able to live with Damien, what gave her the right to dress up and get mated to a powerful alpha?Those and more questions kept on endlessly repeating inside Lyra's mind. And since she couldn’t stop thinking about it, she tried to understand it. After all, maybe that could work to calm her down.But no, all it did was increase her
Nyssa’s POV:The wind moved through the trees gently, and I stayed silent, not because I had no idea what to say, but because I could feel how important this moment was to him.Damien was not a man who was used to exposing his heart. To most people, he was simply the alpha. The ruthless leader of t
I turned around and paused as I spotted an unfamiliar woman, a wolf, standing just a couple of feet away from me. She was tall, blonde, and had sharp eyes. And unlike most wolves I have met, she looked completely at home while standing alone in the darkness, as though she considered it her home.Act
I was still in complete shock when the tailor reached me and, without waiting for me to say anything, she began to slowly circle around me with a measuring tape held tightly in her hands.“Good proportions…” She started muttering under her breath with a huge smile on her face, “And your shoulder bl
The moment our lips touched, the tension in my body eased completely. I leaned in closer just as one of Damien’s hands slid to my waist and pushed him closer to him.The kiss wasn’t rushed, it was warm and safe.I had not planned to kiss him, it was an impulse decision, and it was a decision I was
