登入Thank you all for reading. And thank you so much for the gems. I love you all.
Nyssa’s POV:I had faced death before, I had died, and I had lived.I had faced down betrayal, council hearings, assassination attempts, even bullets flying at me. And yet, none of those things could come close to just how nervous I currently was.My mating ceremony was today.Not tomorrow, today.In just a couple of hours, I was going to officially be the Luna of the Viscount pack. That was… huge.I let out a sigh just as I turned around and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I blinked, and immediately looked away. Once again, I looked absolutely stunning.But still, that wasn’t enough for the women that surrounded me."No," Elena said with a resigned sigh, “It compliments your skin tone. But we need… more.” She paused and turned to face my mother, “That makes sense, right?”“Yes,” my mom answered with a sagely nod before turning to face me, “Sit down, dear.” she whispered,I stifled the urge to groan. Right now, I knew there was absolutely nothing I could do to stop my mother, s
Damien's POV:I was tired of smiling. And it wasn’t because I was unhappy. No, in the next three days, I was going to be mated with the woman I loved with my entire heart. Absolutely nothing could ruin that.Unfortunately, I have come to learn over the past few hours that being happy and being diplomatic were completely very different things. And today was a day that only required diplomacy. A lot of it, and I was getting tired of it.I had barely managed to extricate myself from a conversation before an Alpha approached me with a broad grin on his face."Alpha Damien,” he said with a bright smile and outstretched hands, “We were close by, so we all decided to come by early. My pack and I offer you our congratulations."Even though I was getting tired of it, I still forced myself to smile, "Thank you, Collins." I said with a nod.We had barely skipped past the greetings before the alpha launched into a discussion about some trade routes that he wanted me to lend my help with. Even thou
Nyssa's POVThree more days.That was it.Just three days left before I was officially rated to the man I loved with every fiber of my being. Three days before, I officially became the Luna of the Viscount Pack.And apparently, I was beginning to learn that three days was close enough time for people to start showing up, and apparently, the pack had been expecting them.After a couple of talks with some of the elders, most of which ended with me walking away more confused than ever, I stood on one of the upper balconies of the main estate and stared down at what must have been the third convoy in the past hour that was currently rolling through the gates.It didn’t take long for another convoy to appear behind them, and then another.I blinked, as I watched another group of cars drive in, all from different packs.“Are you sure they are all here for me?” I asked with furrowed brows, “And why are they all multiplying?”Beside me, Elena walked closer to the edge of the balcony and snorte
I lost myself in him. Damien's lips were pressed so firmly against mine that I felt my body begin to tremble in his hands.His hot tongue slid down my throat while also claiming every inch of my mouth.I moaned into him as my hands clutched tightly at his shirt, pulling him closer until our bodies were aligned almost perfectly.It took a while, but when he finally broke the kiss, he only did it to trail his mouth down my neck, so he could suck just hard enough to leave marks on my body."I need you naked," he growled against my skin, and I felt my body shiver under his touch.I nodded, “I need you too,” I whispered into his ear, “I need you in me,”He didn’t need any more permission, because he immediately lifted me up and carried me straight to the bedroom, where he kicked the door open, and carried me straight to the bed, but not before slamming the door shut with a back kick.Immediately we were alone and no longer at risk of being interrupted, Damien’s fingers began to work their m
Nyssa's POV:Even though we left the council hall earlier than most of the hall, we still took a couple of minutes to walk out, and the moment we did, I realized that we had made a mistake.Because apparently half the wolf population had decided to wait outside for us. It was only a few minutes, but the massive stone steps leading down from the council building were already packed with wolves.There were alphas, betas, even elders who were all waiting and stumbling around. And the moment they saw Damien and I emerge fully from the hall, the world erupted into chaos."Alpha Damien!" the cheers erupted,"Lady Nyssa!""Congratulations on your victory!"I blinked, staring at the wolves who were smiling at us, "Congratulations on your mating ceremony too!"I shook my head, confused as I watched more than thirty people rushing toward us. Maybe even more. The crowd descended on us so quickly that Blade and some of Damien's guards instinctively stepped forward and began to form a wall.Beside
Lyra's POV:"Leave."The loud echo of his words filled her ears, and Lyra was filled with fear. She remained on the ground, one hand pressed tightly against the burning cheek where Adrian had just struck her.Her eyes were filled with more disbelief than fear, though she could not believe that Adrian had actually raised his hands on her. For a moment or two, she kept on shaking her head.All of this was so unbelievable. How could he hit her? Especially after everything she had done for me, everything she had pushed through just to be with him.She had helped him through his silly obsession with Nyssa, through the failures of his initial appeal, even through all the anger he felt when Nyssa bolted out of his proposal, and now? He was trying to throw her away?Who the hell did he think he was?"Adrian…" her voice cracked as she slowly began to push herself back to her feet.But even though her voice filled the night air, Adrian didn’t even turn to look at her. Instead, he turned away and
