LOGINNyssa’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 applause after our kiss didn’t just seem endless, it actually was.It took a while, but the world we had built around us finally shattered, and when it did, we were exposed to the sight of thousands of wolves standing up, all clapping and hurling up congratulations at us.The sound of the cheers and applause rolled through the massive hall like the sound of thunder in a storm. It was wave after wave of cheers that kept on crashing against walls that both Damien and I had built up.And together, we stood at the center of it all.Just me, and my mate. Mate. The thought of that word alone was enough to make my heart flutter in delight and satisfaction. Damien was now officially my mate, my husband, and my alpha.And that also meant I was his Luna.For the second time in my two lives, I would now be addressed by the world as Luna Nyssa, and I could hardly believe it.Even as the applause kept on rolling, Damien wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and pulled me in clos
Nyssa's POV:The moment I saw him, the world disappeared. Subconsciously, I knew that there were hundreds of people around us, I knew that the grand hall was packed, and I knew that elders, alpahs and lots of powerful wolves from around the world were watching me.Yet none of them mattered, because all I could see, all I could feel was him.Damien.And now that he was kneeling right in front of me, the world c`eased to exist. My breath caught as I watched Damien drop to his knees, holding the Luna’s crested ring while he looked up at me like I was the most precious thing in existence.My heart ached, and for the first time in a long time, the aching wasn’t from pain, it was from happiness. My entire body was flushed with an emotion I once believed was impossible for me to feel.My face grew flush, and my mind raced faster, but his voice broke through the wall I had set around his thoughts."Nyssa." His voice was soft and the tone he used warmed my heart.It was just one word, but I cou
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 Adria
Lyra's POVLyra immediately knew that something was very wrong when the convoy of cars appeared through the gates. Ever since she heard that the council summons had been pulled forward, Lyra had rushed to Adrian’s estate, and she had been waiting all day for him to return.She had a wide smile on he
Nyssa’s POV:“The petition is denied.”Silence descended on the hall for a moment as everyone processed the words, and before everyone could come to terms with the verdict, Adrian’s pack exploded into chaos.“What?!” Adrian’s voice was the loudest, and his octave was so loud that it spread through c
Nyssa’s POVThe council hall was suffocating. And it wasn’t because I was afraid, no, it was because every single wolf inside the hall was staring at me. Not just staring in my direction, no, everyone was openly staring straight at me.From the very moment we walked in, whispers moved quietly throug
