Lycan King Kenji Yamamoto’s POV How long must I wait for my Wolf Queen to awaken? It has been almost five years and I am growing impatient. My lycan yearns to have his mate here beside us and it gets harder to keep him contained with each passing year. I haven’t been able to get her face out of my head since the day I saw her at her Changing Ceremony. Standing there on the stage, looking gorgeous like the Queen she was born to be. I didn’t have a chance to speak with her that night before things got crazy, and she was nowhere around when it came time for me to leave. So I did what any insanely wealthy Lycan would do, I created reasons to visit the Crescent Moon pack. I invested in the packs mines in order to create a reason for me to visit often, just to see her. I went back there many times after that day, hoping to catch a glimpse of her again, but sadly she was never around during my visits. Her family would always tell me she was busy when I would ask about her, but I never be
Kenji's POV Kenji’s POV We sat there under the gazebo for half an hour before anyone began looking for us. Lost in our own world. I could live in this world with just the two of us forever and be a happy Lycan. Ren was completely in love with everything about our mate and was a puddle at her feet within our short time together. When she asked to see him, I couldn’t deny her request and watched as her eyes grew wide in wonder. She ran her hands through Ren’s fur and cooed at him about how beautiful he was, causing Ren to stand proudly at her adoration. Everyone always says how perfect their mate is, and I’ve always rolled my eyes at them for it. But after getting to spend time with my mate, I can see what they all mean. Because my mate is perfect. And not just because she is mine either. She is the most caring, undemanding, and beautiful person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was so different from the woman I’ve had in the past and I can’t help but feel shame for my
Jamari’s POV “Jamari! Thank the Goddess, I have finally found you.” I chuckle at the sight of Andrew bent over panting just ahead of me. The maze proved too much for the skilled warrior to navigate through easily. His eyes fix on mine as a smile curves his lips. He really is a handsome man. Such a shame he had to lose his mate at such a young age. Andrew is one of the kindest wolves I have met and he didn’t deserve the cards he was dealt. I hope the Moon Goddess gives him a second chance mate, I know those are rare, but he deserves another chance at happiness. Even if it’s not with me. In another life, maybe there could have been something between us, but I can’t give up on my mate, even if they turn out to not be out there afterall. Unconsciously, I let out a sigh at that thought. Andrew straightens his body and walks over to me. “It’s okay that you don’t want me as your mate Jamari. From someone who was given the precious gift that is a mate, I can understand why you wouldn’t wa
Jamari’s POV I was on autopilot as I left my parent’s house. I’m not even sure if I said goodbye to them or not. Not that that matters at this moment. Why does he want to meet with me? It’s been eight months since I saw him at my birthday party last year, with no contact from him at all. Not that I tried reaching out to him at all either, but still. That night he had called me Okami and it snapped me back to reality, like a slap to the face. He was the Lycan King and he deserved to have a powerful wolf by his side. Someone like Samara, gifted with the Wolf Queen Reika as her wolf. Not her defective twin that wasn’t worthy enough to even be gifted a wolf at all. So I walked away. Torn between being selfish and taking what I desired, and not wanting Alpha Kenji to be saddled with someone like me. In the end I excused myself and ran away. A part of me was hoping that he would ignore what I said and chase after me. A big part of me. Or maybe miss me while he was away and reach out.
Levi’s POV Something is off with Jamari. There has to be more to her change in mood other than having to meet with the Lycan King. He better not be another mangy mutt sniffing around what is mine. “I’m nervous about why he would want to meet with me. I’m not considered a wolf.” She confides in me. My heart breaks at the sadness I feel coming off of her. I pull her in close and place a soft kiss on her forehead. “Wolf or no wolf my fiery temptress, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met.” How can this beautiful creature think that she is anything less than perfection? Having a wolf does not define her, she defines herself. I place a loving kiss on her tempting lips, encouraged to deepen it by the sounds of her moans. Lifting her by her waist, I pull her into my lap so I can hold her tighter. I pour everything that I feel for her into our kiss. Jamari breaks from our kiss and begins placing kisses up my neck, headed towards my ear. When she reaches my ear, she whispers,
Jamari’s POV After Levi teleported us from my bed, we appeared in a large penthouse suite in Vegas. The decor was done in all dark colors, befitting the Demon King. He wasn’t wrong when he said that his shower was bigger than mine. Way more room for activities than my tiny shower would have offered. We ended up getting cleaned up only to have sex again up against the shower wall and having to clean up once again. A huge grin spreads across my face. Being with Levi has been amazing. I could definitely get used to this. The sparks I feel when our bodies touch are similar to those I felt when I touched Kenji. I slammed a wall down on thoughts of Kenji. I will not think about the Lycan King while wrapped up in the arms of another. Levi is special and doesn’t deserve for my mind to wander like that. I feel his arms wrap around me tightly. “Where did your thoughts go just now?” He whispers in my hair. I don’t want to lie to him, but I also can’t tell him what I was thinking about.
Jamari's POV Today is the day I finally go to the old Church ruins and search for the hidden room that Samara told me about. I have been putting this moment off since my twin told me about being more than what I had always thought. But I can’t keep putting this off any longer, I have to get answers to the many questions I have running through my head. I had over two weeks to wallow in my loss, but now I owe it to Samara to follow through with what she asked of me. After another round in the shower with Levi this morning he teleported me back to my apartment and left me to go handle business in the Demon Realm. He offered to accompany me to the ruins, but I told him not to worry about me. He’s already doing too much for me by looking for the man that killed my sister. I couldn’t ask him to put aside his responsibilities in the Demon Realm just to hold my hand while I search the ruins. I miss him already though, I sigh. If he decides to stay away for another week again I don’t thi
Andrew’s POVSince Jamari turned eighteen she shut herself off from her family and our pack and it hurt a lot of people. She thought we wouldn’t want her anymore since she didn’t have a wolf, but she was wrong. She doesn’t realize the amount of people who care for her in our pack and would be there for her in an instant if she needed them. Most of us thought she was fine with the way things turned out after she turned eighteen, but being around her yesterday and today made me realize she is not fine. Jamari is hurting inside but she doesn’t feel like she has anyone still there for her. That’s why last night I decided to be a friend to her again. I called her this morning to check on her and to show her that she is not alone. When she asked me if I was free to accompany her to the ruins this morning I lied and told her I had nothing going on. It was obvious she needed a friend and I wanted to be there for her. Just because things didn’t work out with us as mates doesn’t mean I don’t
