Zarina

My heart ached in a way I had no idea it could ache. It didn't hurt because of what had happened to me, or because of fear. It ached because the Goddess paired me with a man who had not known in his life what it is to be loved, unconditionally, truthfully, without reservations.

Goddess, I didn't know… and I stood before him, telling him that the practical thing to do in our situation was to go for a clean rejection. Goddess! I feel horri

    ZaneThe following day, Maddox arrived at the training grounds, and when I looked at him, I knew deep down that pushing him to go out on a date with Zarina was a good call.“So,” I pushed his shoulder playfully,“So,” he looked me square in the eyes. The bastard was enjoying it, the attention. He would feed us little details, stupid, meaningless ones, while I bet everyone was yearning for the real tea.“Yo! How was the date last night?” Urien was the first one to snap. He was bouncing on his heels, all excited and happy. He is a pure soul, one with a great sense of humor, and a horrible knack for pranks. Elisa has her hands full with that one.Roger looked up. He was playing coy, but he was completely interested in the conversation. Yeah, those guys were also my brothers, and I was happy about how they welcomed Maddox, no questions asked.“I really don't want

Goddess! I feel horrible, because what was something pragmatic for me was yet another rejection in his life.Tears welled in my eyes… I couldn't hold them. I don't know what he has endured, or how many hardships he has faced… Those were enough for a lifetime… I will make sure of it. It might be bond talking, but I can't stand the idea of this man feeling disposable, alone, and unloved for one minute more.“I can't imagine what you have been through,” I mut

    MaddoxZarina is a real beauty. I couldn't keep my eyes out of her, and damn if I didn't want to try, because I did. Not only because she could be what the others had said, my salvation, but because I got this incredible urge to care and protect her.My demon was content. I have never been at ease, not while I was imprisoned, nor after. There has always been something bothering me, setting my demon on edge. For the first time in my life, I was at peace. My demon was not restless, and I felt… happy.My demon whimpered when she suggested that a rejection was for the best. I knew it, in my head, I knew that it was the best outcome, a clean break, no dependence, no strain, no fight… but my demon felt pain, and my heart… my heart felt torn.I understand now why the guys kept pushing me into being here tonight. They already knew that this was inevitable. She was open about her idea of

    ZarinaI was a nervous wreck. I have no idea why I agreed to do this with Angelo. In fact, I had no idea if he had powers. Maybe he has used them on me, because before he walked in, I was dead set on a rejection.That is the cleanest option, the one that will cause us one shot of pain, instead of enduring a lifetime of little stabs. But I said ´yes´ and now I am in my place getting ready for something I don't feel ready at all.Of course, as he said, Asteria was there. She arrived like a hurricane of excitement and energy, with a full rack of dresses, a makeup case, and a lot of hair things. I had no idea that getting ready would need so many things, but I guess, you learn new things every day.Sirena and Sophie were there too, both of them excited. They talked on and on about how wonderful it will be to find your mate. They also kept talking about how good–looking Maddox was, and t

    MaddoxThe fuck, those bastards are insane. Angelo walked towards me during the early training. Coffee in hand. “So, are you ready for your date tonight?” he said casually, and I raised my eyebrows with disbelief.“Date?” I said, and Urien chuckled. Roger laughed, while Zane shrugged his shoulders with a fucking sly smirk on his face. I had not revealed to anyone, except for Cadmus and Stephan, that I had found my mate, and suddenly, in the middle of the training grounds, I was being roasted by people who should not know.I looked at Dominic, and he smirked too… This is worse than one of those human gossip shows the nurses at the lab used to put on while they were “caring” for us. “Who else knows?” I muttered, and Zane wrapped his arm around my shoulder,“You'd better ask who doesn't? The list is shorter,” he joked, and I rolled my eyes.“T

    ZarinaI froze, and his eyes captured me. My vampire nature sensed it before I could even wrap my head around it, “Beloved, ours.”My entire body froze, and when he took a step back, instead of forward, I knew that I was not what he had expected. He knew I was a sex slave. I bet he has been waiting for a pure, untouched mate, not a damaged one, with a past, and a full bag of sexual trauma.He took a deep breath, and then the red-headed dragon stepped up, held his shoulder and introduced us. “Maddox,” that was his name. He was perfect — a demon. The type of guy who will allure all your fantasies and turn them into a reality. Most demons were handsome, but Maddox was breathtaking.Cadmus took him away, and I took a shivering breath. Tears welled in my eyes, and my father's hand landed on mine. “He is a good guy,” Dad said, and I lifted my gaze to meet him.“If he is your beloved, you should try

    Matei D´AngeloI was surprised to see her reaction, and honestly, I didn't know what to do with what she had said. I never intended to put her through a tough time, but things just happened that way. I think they did, but now I am not so sure, because she is upset with

    Urien DragnoirI walked away. I couldn't sleep, at least not away from my mate. I needed her, and I knew she needed me. A mate's bond is more than just a link between souls; it also has its own magic within. I could help her heal, and I knew deep in my bones that I could help
