Demi's povI was too late.I could feel it as I got closer to the room, the light streamed into the hallway indicating that the door was open, with every hurried step I took, I could smell my mate, I could feel his confusion, a pang of pain crossing my insides indicating that he felt betrayal.I doubled my steps even while being out of breath, the hall way seemed longer than usual, almost like time had slowed against me, waiting for Eros to find something incriminating.And when I got to the door, hurling myself into the room, my fears were confirmed for Eros had seen the poison and the note, the look on his face portrayed that he had read the note and put two and two together.My chest tightened when he looked at me, hurt crossing his features, lips set in thin line before he tried to form words.I moved to reach him, but his outstretched hand stopped me and suddenly, before my very eyes, my mate collapsed.I cried out as his eyes closed, I was too shaken to stand on my feet. I had f
Anya's pov You could call me an opportunist but I would put it as someone who gets what she wants with any means necessary and I do not care if anyone would get hurt at the end of the day, as long as I won.But for a while, I haven't won. I had to stay behind in the shadows, laying low and handling an unfortunate predicament of mine.Having a mate and trying to be Queen Luna, these weren't two things that went together and so I focused on the first problem and waited for the second, an opportunity to present itself.And then the perfect opportunity came, that little bitch being a red wolf.With the destruction caused by the one before her, no one would want her near the throne and so I wasn't surprised when the wolf council came banging on our doors demanding to see her.Although, I was too busy running after my own business to pay attention to her, but hearing the pack members gossip was enough for me to know that I just needed to have patience, the end of Demi w
Eros's pov"Hey mum, Hey Dad." I greeted holding the phone up and at a perfect angle away from my face while I walked away slowly finding a perfect spot to make the call, "How are you both today?""My little Boy." My dad greeted with a smile, "It's so good to see you.""Oh look Lycus, there's a special twinkle in his eyes, I think he and his mate are on the best of terms now." My mother pointed and I burst out into laughter, the smile she wore at how I laugh confirmed that she knew that she was right, "I am right about that one.""When are we meeting her?" Dad asked throwing his arm over mum and bringing her closer to him, "You know we aren't coming home any time soon.""What's causing the delay?" I asked with a raised brow, "You were to be home last week.""Just more work." Mum shrugged clasping her palm to dad's and intertwining her fingers with his, "So when do we get to meet her?""As soon as she's ready mum, she barely even trusts me yet and with all that has happened, I still go
Demi's povHaris and I both froze, my gaze locked with that of the monster that ruined my life, he was right there with a leer on his lips, eyes accessing me with disgust written all over his face.I hugged Haris close, thinking of what to do as Logan was too far apart, everyone around us was too busy to notice the monster that had just entered the room, neither did they notice that his attention was zeroed on me like he was planning out all the evil deeds he would carry out if he was to get Haris and I, he looked at me in disgust seeing me cloaked in gowns and diamonds mingling with people, the look he gave me reminded me that I didn't deserve to be here.I looked around for Eros, trying to curtail and mask my emotions but he was no where to be found."Sis." Haris began to cry in my arms, his tears slid asagainst my skin as he buried his face in my neck, "I am scared, he's here, I am scared.""I am too but I won't let him harm you." I whispered turning immediately and pushing myself
Demi's povHead held high.Chin up.Gaze sharpened.A ready smile.These were exactly what Bopha and Elara had told me and that was exactly what I did as Eros ascended the podium addressing the kingdom while I stood next to him not bothering about the reactions of people or focusing on their gazes as I didn't want to lose my confidence.He addressed them and introduced me as his mate, I came foward and curtsied as I had been told with a look of warmth on my face, my hand was raised in a small wave and they all clapped offering back warming grins and with that, the ball commenced.Eros took me around introducing me to everyone that came up to greet him, he held me close as he did. We made small talk and I listened intently so as to gain knowledge of what I didn't know yet.I listened to how talks about the kingdoms went and noticed how composed other Lunas were as well as how they responded to the people around them.Their manners were elegant and graceful, they had a way of talking an
Demi's povThe castle was agog with festivities and everyone wore excited looks for the ball.Everyone except me.I had remembered this morning that all packs would be available including their Alphas, I knew I should have told Eros by now but Alpha Logan's threats of exposing my videos scared me to death and so I sat still trying to wear a smile and look as cheerful as I could force.Everything had been peaceful till now, training, making familiarity with the pack members including assuming minor Luna duties as instructed by Eros because he wanted them to be used to me before the crowning.The people were nicer now and more accommodating, they didn't fear me anymore and the rumours of me being a dangerous red wolf were quietened with the last meeting and Eros's warning, even Anya avoided me and her troop of trouble makers no longer gave me dirty looks.The only thing that could storm the calm now would be Alpha Logan's interference with my life. Anytime I thought back to the videos h
