The minute, he lifts me up into his arms and carries me in the door, I know that things will be so much better. The look in his eyes tells me that he really was scared to lose me this time. Perhaps he has had a change of heart.
As I still stare into his eyes, I wonder something. Does this mean he will finally mate with me? Or will we continue the original dance? I don’t know if I can take much more of this.
While he carries me up the stares to my bedroom, I hope that soon it will become ours again and that this will be all over and done with. But the moment, he opens the door to the bedroom, I sense a change in him, and his eyes grow cold when he looks away and begins to stare at the bed. His smile turns to a frown and his demeanor changes from one of a man so glad to see me to someone who could care less.
I close my eyes when he places me down on the edge of the bed and then he starts to turn around before I
“Get up.” I turn over to see Monique staring at me while still sleepy eyed and having a hard time focusing my eyes on her cheery smile. It feels like I didn’t sleep at all because last night Dominic kept tossing and turning. Every time I got comfortable, he ended up moving and then snoring again. I think the worst part was when I woke up about 4 a.m., he actually had a massive erection, and it was cutting into my side. It made me wonder exactly what he was dreaming about and then I heard him call someone’s name. Of course, it wasn’t mine and that disturbed me to no end. The rest of the night I did touch and goes till Monique woke me up just now. Trying to remember the name he called out. I shake my messy mane of golden locks and then decide I had better get up before she pulls me out of bed. Watching as she goes to straighten up things in the room, I sit up and then poise myself on the end of the bed. Deci
“I can’t believe that she is just a friend.” I murmur so softly it’s barely audible. This Evangeline that Dominic claims is his friend, sounds more like a long-time lover who isn’t up to snuff to be his queen and Luna. She must be someone who is an Omega, or even worse from a rogue family. How could I have been so blind though? Everyday he disappears for hours, and I have no idea what he is doing. I mean he pretty much shuts me up in this castle without any friends except for Monique and I don’t have anything to do but to read and walk the gardens. It almost reminds me of someone who is a prisoner of their own domain. Matter of fact, it is pretty sad once you start to really think about it. Till now, I hadn’t worried about it too much because I figured someday, he would let me in on his little secrets and share more of himself with me. But now, I realize that is what Evangeline is for. She is his confidant
“Why is he still here?” I yell at the top of my lungs before throwing my book clear across the room. Feeling so upset that I can’t even concentrate, I watch Dominic pace around the room before he replies, “Because he is important. I can’t just go around banishing everyone from the castle and the territory, can I?” Walking up to him and looking up into his eyes, I ask, “Or is it because it was a servant that it happened to, and she is less important than I am?” The minute the words leave my lips, I regret them because he stands over me by a full foot and leans down before saying spitefully in my face, “I would not be a good king if I didn’t take both sides into consideration would I and the welfare of the kingdom. He swears that she offered herself to him so she could get ahead. He said that she is looking to become a Luna so she can get out of this trade.” Scoffing at what he has said, I quickly come back with, “There is no way
“Knock” “Knock” As I sit on the couch reading, I hear a knock at the door which startles me a little. Enough to make me drop my book. “Dang it.” I murmur under my breath when I must find my bookmark and try to remember which page I was on. When I see the page, I place the bookmark in it carefully and stand up. Hearing the knock again, I walk to the door and ask, “Who is it?” Before waiting silently to the side. Dominic opens it quickly and walks in with a woman following closely behind him. She is taller than I expected by a whole foot or so and quite skinny for a woman. Matter of fact, she reminds me of a prepubescent boy growing into his own skin. Her face is very plain, but her eyes peer through to my soul and that unnerves me right away. It’s as if she knows exactly what I am thinking and yet she doesn’t say anything. Instead, she stands quietly with her hands clasped together and her e
Once everything is packed, I find someone to take me. Alpha Jamison so kindly volunteers, and then he drives me all the way home to my parent’s house. When we arrive, the place looks deserted at first glance. “Are you sure you want to stay here by yourself?” He asks me with an uncertain look about him, and then he disappears around the side of the house. Before I get to answer him, I hear something in the woods from behind me and I automatically turn around to face it. I am not prepared for my mother to walk out of the woods and greet me. Shaking my head, I’m relieved the moment I realize that it’s her and go to hug her. When she walks up and wraps her arms around me, she asks, “Ana, what are you doing here?” With a surprised smile on her face. I sink into her warm embrace, because it’s the first time I have seen her in a while now. Closing my eyes, I don’t say anything, because I am afraid of what she will think when
I open my eyes to see that Dominic is gone again. Feeling a little disappointed, I notice that I feel like a ton of bricks has hit me for some reason and my eyes are caked with sleep. Then I start wondering if I am coming down with something, because just climbing out of bed fatigues me.When I step one foot on the cold floor, I shriek because it feels icy underneath my toes. I run to the bathroom quickly and then as soon as I wash my hands, I rush back to bed and wait for Monique to come in. Maybe she will bring me something to eat or have the doctor come to check on me. Who knows?Laying down, I read one of my novels for a while till I hear someone at the door. It opens quickly and makes a loud bang as it hits the wall, then Dominic walks inside. “You missed breakfast, Ana. Did you sleep in?” He asks with a little worry in his voice.Hesitating for a moment, I think of something to say but chang
The moment I get out of the bathroom, I notice that Monique has left the room and Alpha Morrison is standing next to me with his hand on mine. He is so attentive and yet there is something weird about him. With platinum blonde hair and gorgeous green eyes that shine like emeralds, he is such a catch.Yet, he hasn’t mated with anyone and that is disturbing to me. Why would an alpha who is so utterly pleasing to the eyes, not have anyone to come home to at night? Even more intriguing is the fact that when he is in my presence, his eyes are always only on me.“My queen, you look absolutely exquisite today, if I don’t say so myself.” His eyes sparkle as his lip curls up into a Cheshire cat smile.When he does it, it looks sexy as hell. The minute anyone else does, it looks like they are trying too much, and it looks fake somehow. I remember once when Dominic did it, it looked forced and not genu
As I sit in my room for the rest of the day, I relax and hope that he doesn’t try to talk to me. He must decide, and if he doesn’t then I know what his answer is. In the morning I will find out if she is gone or not, it’s all his choice.“Knock”I hear that one single knock and then nothing. Standing up, I walk over to the door and wait for another, but it never comes. So, I unlock the door and when I open it, I see Dominic standing there with this truly hurt look on his face. The minute he notices that I am standing there, it turns to a smile and then his eyes light up.Just before he says something, I interrupt and ask, “Did you make up your mind or shall I pack my things?” I know I sound like a bitch, but if I don’t do this, I won’t ever have peace.He closes the space between us and then cups my chin in his hand before he leans down. Kissing me softly
