Rayna’s pov:I didn’t know why I woke from a deep sleep. My first thought was … that maybe triplets were getting intimate with Violet but then my mind denied it.Ever since Eric half-marked me, I had stopped feeling that pain. But why did I wake up?After Alex left my room yesterday, I kept thinking about the way he laughed lo
Alexander Ironheart The woman in my arms was in extreme agony and I was racing towards the packhouse in my Lycan form. “Brian. Send the most senior pack doctor to my room. Will ya?” I sent a mind link to my beta and closed the connection when he assured me that it would be done in no time. The poor man was keeping an eye on Rayna and left his spot to visit the bathroom. When he came back, he couldn’t smell her in the room. Following her scent, he reached the witch’s camp and found her there. She was in heat, and he couldn’t take the risk of touching her. He still thought that I was serious about taking her as my mate which was not true. Why would I? Mom always told me that either my mate should be a fated one or she must have something special in her to draw me. And no. She was not talking about looks. Rayna was withering in pain when I placed her on my bed. “You’ll be fine, Sapphire eyes. The doctor is on his way.” I told her after getting back in my human form and didn’t k
Rayna Bennett The pain was still there but his hand was making me feel things that weren’t supposed to be there in the first place.Just to make me feel better, he was breaking his own rules. It felt like he had taken a silent oath to keep me safe from all the bad people and from all the pain that was coming my way.Clutching his shoulders tightly I almost pierced my nails into his skin when I felt his finger making a slow entrance in my core. It was supposed to relieve my pain not to give me those delicious tickles, I had started feeling in the pit of my stomach.“A…Alex…” I squeezed my eyes while calling his name.“It’ll be over, Rayna. The pain will go away soon. I’ll make it go away.” He was assuring me, and I was trusting this man.I was treading on the dangerous territory. The trust I once had in men in my life was no longer there anymore. First, it was my father. After that, it was my mates. They all didn’t submit to the duties assigned to them by the Moon Goddess. My fathe
Rayna Bennette My eyes fluttered open, and I was greeted by the first glow of morning light entering the room through the curtains. A contented sigh escaped my lips when I stretched under the warmth of the covers. Last night’s painful tingles were no more there, and last night also brought the memories of … “Where is Alex?” Asking myself I sat up straight. He wasn’t there beside me. I felt disappointment making its way into my heart. Did he leave me alone like this? That raw timber smell was still lingering on his pillow and the sheets. I started getting up to leave the room, as I needed to use the Omega bathroom when a small note on the nightstand caught my eye. “Use my bathroom, Sapphire eyes. And don’t you dare have breakfast without me.” I smiled at the note and picked it up. His handwriting was smooth, and it matched his personality. Perfection! But then my smile vanished. If he didn’t want to take me as his chosen mate, then why these breakfasts and bathroom sharing? B
Rayna Bennett:I must be imagining it. Right? Who asks a girl on a date in the middle of an attack? Yeah. I knew he was a warrior and could take better care of himself, but those attackers had nightshade. It was deadly for him and his race.The attackers were slowly advancing towards us, and I didn’t want to shift my focus from them. “You didn’t answer me. Will you go on a date…”“I know what you asked, Alex.” I hissed, “Now shut up and let me focus.” My eyes started searching for Beta Brian. Where was he?His life was as much in danger. Alex's first duty should be to keep him safe because he was closest to the royals and had the highest rank among the Lycan guests. “Alex. I’ll take care of them. Please send a mind-link to Beta Brian not to arrive here. It might be dangerous for him.” I looked at my father who was standing there like a prude.“Come on, Beta Logan,” I called him out, and he seemed taken aback when I didn’t call him father, “if something happens to these Lycans, the
Lola Bennett I was there.I was fuc*king there and witnessed everything that happened before my eyes. That Omega. That filthy Omega!Why was she after my happiness?First, it was her father whom she tried to win over in all these past years. And now she was after my ex.Yes, she was making it look like he was after her yet I knew her better.Lexi was my ex-mate and Rayna wasn’t supposed to go after him. The way she stood in front of him to keep him safe, I found it funny. I was expecting Lexi to laugh at her.The same Lexi who was crazy after me, now he didn’t want to bat an eye in my direction. I could see the gentleness in his eyes when he was looking down at Rayna’s head.The girl was so dramatic. She seemed to be successfully wrapping him around her little finger. The drop-dead gorgeous man who was made for me.Moon Goddess made Lexi for me!Why couldn’t Rayna choose someone else?I felt fury making its way into my heart when in the training ground, he transformed into his Lyca
I gave a long and hard look to the dress that had been hanging in my cupboard since before the Luna ceremony.After I got to know that I’d be the Luna of this pack, I bought it from my hard-earned money to wear it the next day of the ceremony.I had sworn never to take off its cover, but I guess fate had different plans for me. Tonight, I wanted to look special. I wanted to look good for my chosen mate.I wasn’t aware of where he was taking me but then he deserved a well-dressed lady beside him when he was such a good-looking man himself.I took out the packed dress and started unzipping the cover. It was a silk camisole in blush pink with matching tailored trousers.A box was lying at the bottom of the closet that had the same colored heeled mules inside.Taking a deep breath, I clutched it to my chest and waited for the emotional moment to get past. After being mated to a warrior, I was sure he would stay on his word and keep me happy and safe.Today the way he kept me protected du
“I’ll accompany you,” Zara came out of the room following me, “I might convince them not to insult the Lycans.”Despite of being worried, I smiled and bobbed my head, “No need, Zara. Let me fight this on my own.” I hugged my friend before walking to the office.While passing through the hallways I kept thinking of this absurd issue. Who could be behind it?Lola?I heaved a long sigh and twisted the handle of the office. As expected, Alpha Magnus was not alone. My father and Lola were also there.Derek and Cedric were seated beside Violet. Since the last incident, I hadn’t seen Eric.I still found it funny that Alpha Magnus didn’t seem ready to hand over his Alpha power to his dear sons.“You called me, Alpha?” I bowed my head and could feel their eyes on me. Violet and Lola’s eyes seemed to take X-rays of my body from head to toe. Maybe because I was all dolled up for my date and it would be fun for them to spoil my plans to find some happiness in my life.Lola’s presence confirmed m
