Alari's pov
I could hear the whispers but I just couldn't bring myself to care, this scent was all I could focus on and so I kept breathing it in.And it kept getting stronger, like it was getting closer!I heard a few gasps and felt my wolf push forward, it was only then that I opened my eyes and came face to face with perfection.Who was this Adonis standing before me? Clad in a black suit and white shirt, filling it out with his muscular build. He had the body of a warrior!His silky looking hair was combed neatly to the side, putting his face on display. He looked like a model, straight off the runway with a perfectly symmetrical face.Thick eye brows and lashes to match, his brown eyes had specs of gold which sparkled as he kept his gaze on me.Wait, why was he looking at me like that? Why was I looking at him like my world started and ended with him?“MATE!” The scream nearly left me deaf and it took me a moment to realise it was my wolf!Damien's povDrake's face paled at my question, shifting uncomfortably on his chair. “I am deeply sorry your highness, I didn't know. My Queen, please accept my humble apologies” he begged, looking at my mate. “It's alright” Alari whispered, making the greedy bastard sigh in relief but I wasn't about to let his blantant disrespect of me as his King and my mate go unpunished. “Thank you my Queen” he bowed and thought he could just go back to his plate. “Strip him of his title, banish him even” Lucien said and Drake snapped his head back to me. “What?!” Drake exclaimed, eyes almost bulging out their sockets. “Both?” I asked as my lips curled into a smirk. Everyone in the dining hall started whispering insults, and surprisingly, their insults were directed at my mate. “He apologized” Alari said, pleading with her eyes. “Just let it go, I'm fine” she said, her eyes on the verge of tearing up. I sighed, deciding to drop it, I didn't want to upset her even more, plus the humming wh
Damien's pov“I'm so sorry” she said in panic and all I could do was growl at the loss of her soft lips. “Don't apologize, do it again” I said, my lust for her beyond anything I'd ever known. She blushed, leaning in slowly and stopping just a few inches from me, her breathe fanning my face. I closed the distance and captured her lips in a soft kiss, feeling her velvety lips moving gently against mine. Pulling her impossibility close, the kiss grew heated and deep, the taste of her so intoxicating I didn't think I'd ever get enough of her.She tasted as sweet as she smelled.She slipped her fingers into my hair, grinding her hips against mine and moaning as the friction intensified. I could feel myself boil over as my dick rubbed against her centre, our clothes the only reason I wasn't deep within her walls. And her moans did nothing but stroke the fires of my arousal, the desire to have her moan on my dick the only thing I could think about; I wanted her so bad. I needed her unde
Xavier's povNothing, there was just nothing.Where my heart used to beat so violently, now just hollow. She was gone, there was no fixing it now, she was gone forever. “Explain yourself!” My father's voice came screaming but I could barely hear it. “She was your mate, wasn't she?” Mom asked, awakening the ache I'd now grown so used to. I couldn't find my words, all I could do was feel this emptiness that had taken over my entire being. How could I have been so stupid? She was perfect for me in every way! She was mine. “Did you reject her before or after you found out she was a powerful elf?” My father asked, his annoyance too obvious. But did it matter? Wether she was an elf or a wolf-less omega? Why did I care before?Why did they have to treat her like trash? They made me hate her, I know deep down I've always wanted her. “I should have seen it, you were acting strange. That's what you were doing snooping around the kitchen yesterday isn it?” Mom asked but I still couldn't f
Alari's povI was woken up by loud cheers, groaning as my body felt heavy. I felt different, I'd woken up feeling broken and empty but now, I was… happy?I sat up, wincing a little at the sting in my neck. Bringing my hand up to sooth the pain, I felt slight bruising over what felt like a tattoo. A wave of heat swept through me at the memory of Damien sinking his teeth deep into my neck, marking me his own. I looked around the room and realised I was alone and I was only sad for a few seconds before the cheering outside reminded me of the reason Damien was here in the first place. “Roman said they left because they had to and that they would be back soon” my wolf said, sounding so clear and strong. I suddenly realised something, something that had never bothered me before… I don't know my wolf's name!“Sapphira” she said with a giggle and my face grew heated with embarrassment. “Hi Sapphira, you feel strong, is it because of the mark?” I asked, wanting to know how she was so pr
Damien's povIt had been a whole hour since I crowned the new couple Alpha and Luna and I was ready to join my own Luna in bed. “Drake seems to be quite close to Alpha Thomas, they're been having private conversation the whole day” Lucien said, bringing this to my attention for the first time. I raised a brow at him and he shrugged, “you were busy” he said dismissively, making me roll my eyes. I looked around the crowd and saw the new Luna mingling with other Lunas and pack members and her Alpha was sitting in a corner getting wasted. My eyes found Drake and Thomas again and I wondered what it was they were talking about. Thomas was one of the Alpha's that were against my reign, the only reason he was alive is because he realised they couldn't win and switched sides quickly. Was he going to try something else? Aligning his pack with the two that merged today would definitely give him a foot to stand on. Something told me to look back at the idiot drinking himself blind at his o
Alari's povA sweet, soft humming ushered me back to the land of the living, a hand gently stroking my hair. “Hey there” I heard Damien's voice as I blinked my eyes open, coming face to face with the most handsome man alive. “Were you humming to me?” I asked, a smile stretching across my face at the memory. “What? No, I wasn't” he said, looking at me with confusion. I frowned, I could have sworn I heard humming, soft and sweet, almost dream like. “Maybe it was just a dream” I yawned, burrowing into him until my nose was right against his neck, breathing in his scent. “Hmmm” I hummed, loving how close he was and his gently touch. “How are you feeling love?” he asked, a bit of concern in his voice and I tried to remember why I wouldn't be feeling okay to cause him such concern.Xavier! I pulled away from him, sitting up on the bed and my hand instinctively went to my neck, feeling a bandage on there. “Your dad said it would heal quickly, I was just a bit scared to remove it bu
Damien's povI felt my chest fill up with pride, smirking as Thomas sat back down. “Damn!” Lucien linked, making me chuckle. “Damn is just about right” I linked back, about time my mate put these runts in their place. “Damien, please get it done, I want to leave now” she said, making the three of them whimper and cry. “As you wish my Queen” I said, making her look at me and blush a little. “My King please, don't do this!” The Luna pleaded but there was no way I would disrespect my Queen by showing her mercy. “Alpha Thomas, Luna Adele, as punishment for your crimes against a pack member and the Luna Queen of this Kingdom, I Damien Knight, King of the Lupine Kingdom strip you of your titles and authority. You will now be recognised as omegas” I said, my Alpha command and authority as King making them shrink in their seats, whimpering. “And you, Xavier King, for your crimes against your Queen, I banish you from my Kingdom, you are to never set foot in my Kingdom again!” Roman and
Alari's povMy hands were shaking, and my heart was beating so loud nothing made it past my ears as my parents pulled towards an office. How did they even know how to find it?The truth! They were finally going to tell me the truth! But… why did it feel like I wasn't ready? Why was I feeling all this dread? I know I've asked them time and time again, fought them at one time but was I really ready to know?That woman, why did she looked so much like me? Why did mom call her my mother? Where was she this whole time?! She was wearing a crown on that picture! Did that mean she was royalty? Was I royalty? Then why did I have to suffer at the hands of that Goddess awful pack if I was royalty. “I can hear the wheels spinning in that little head of yours, calm down love, all your questions will be answered” dad said, squeezing my hand before letting it go. “And knowing you, you have a lot!” Mom giggled, also letting me go, walking towards a book shelf on the far right. For a moment I fel
