“Oh my goodness, you? How…how come I didn't recognize you?” I asked in shock as I moved back taking a good look at him and he just shrugged in response. "Maybe because I now have muscles,” he said as she flexed his muscles and I shook my head facepalming. He was still the same old Dante. But he really changed to the point I didn't recognize him. He was the lanky annoying boy that used to get on my nerves. But he was also the only person among the thousands of people who hated me that treated me like I was human. Dante is the Alpha's son of the pack I grew up in. The Silver fang pack, he was so different from the others. He would insist on helping me finish backbreaking tasks that were given to me. No matter how I try to push him away, that I could manage on my own, he'd stay all night helping me. When I was hungry and didn't get any food to eat or steal, he'd bring me food. He was the only good person in my life that treated me like a person and not like I was trash or carrying
Chapter 51 “I'm calling your Dad and telling him you're here," I said as I stormed into my office with Dante following behind me, “You wouldn't dare, I told you I'm not ready to face any of them," Dante said, his eyes narrowing at me as he sat down on the chair in front of me. “Well, you're not being of any use to me, since you've decided that sitting around is what is more important than helping me,” I said a I sat down on my chair glaring at him, "I wasn't just sitting around, I was talking to…wait a minute? Don't tell me you're jealous?” He asked as he titled his head, "Why would I be jealous?" I asked, “She's your mate, which means…” "She's not my mate, she's the last thing I want to be talking about right now," I warned but Dante never seem to get a warning, “You've always been so crazy about getting your mate when we were younger, what changed?" He asked in confusion and my hands clenched on my lap. “Try getting mated to the woman whose mother caused the death of your p
I laid down in bed unable to sleep, I kept turning and turning yet sleep wouldn't come. There was this tightening in my chest and I felt an indescribable sadness hit me from nowhere. I know my life wasn't going the best way but there was nothing at the moment that could make me this sad. I sat up as I rested my back on the headboard. Why did I feel so overwhelmed with emotions? Confusion. Anger. Frustration. What was happening to me? “Why do I feel…” I stopped as my hand quickly went to my mark. That was when the realization dawned on me that the emotions I was feeling might not be mine. Just then I heard a knock on my door and I froze. Who could it be at this time of the night? Dante? No, he wouldn't come to bother me by this time. Xander? He would never knock, he'd just push the door open and enter. The knock came again bringing me out of my thoughts. I quickly climbed out of bed as I walked to the door and tried to listen. I was shocked when a familiar scent hit my nose a
I removed his cock out of my mouth with a pop, my eyes still on his. The look in his eyes had me shivering but not because of the cold. But because of the raw, unfiltered emotions in his eyes.I slowly sat on his lap and Xander growled when my clothes pussy touched his hard length as he drew me flushed against him. For a moment neither of us spoke, we just stared into each other's eyes.Without warning, Xander tore the shirt I had on and I gasped, shooting him a glare.I don't have many clothes and he was tearing the one I have.But before I could complain, his lips claimed mine in a wild kiss and whatever I wanted to say was forgotten.I moaned into his mouth as I rubbed my boobs on his chest and Xander groaned, dragging his fingers through my hair.I heard the sound of tearing again and this time it was my panties. “What the hell Xander, I swear you'll…hmm,” I moaned when he held my ass and grinded my pussy against his cock as I threw my head back in pleasure.We kissed as I cont
I woke up to the feeling of arms around me, holding onto me tightly. I groaned, slowly peeling my eyes open as I turned my eyes to the body beside me.Raven. Her scent engulfed me like a chain. Calming, yet poisonous.Why did the Moon Goddess have to do this to me? Why? Why give me a mate I was programmed to hate?It could have been any other woman and I would have loved her with all my heart, treat her like a goddess, but it had to be her.I slowly peeled her arms around me not wanting to wake her because I don't even know what I would say to her if she woke up. Will I be the cold bastard or will I be the mate she wants?Why I came here I have no idea, but the moment Adriana started her trouble, I just felt the need for some closure with my mate, whether I hated her or not.I ran my hand through my hair with a sigh. As crazy as that sounds, I had the best sleep of my life since that incident happened.And it's all thanks to the enemy's daughter.I didn't have a nightmare or wake up i
I woke up with a yawn, stretching my hands as I slowly sat up but I stopped mid stretch when I noticed the space beside me was empty. He left. I sighed as I climbed down from bed. I needed to get ready for the day, I couldn't dwell on last night but no matter how I tried, the thought of his vulnerability wouldn't leave my mind. The look in his eyes, the pain. I don't know why he was fighting so hard with himself. Why was he stopping himself from being happy? I got into the bathroom as I took my toothbrush and applied toothpaste on it. My reflection stared at me in the mirror and I could see the look of distress and worry in my eyes but it wasn't for me. It was for him. I shouldn't care about what happens to him right? Especially since he's always a jerk. I sighed as I put the toothpaste back in the holder. I made a promise to protect him which means that even if he's being a jerk I have to protect him. Taking a quick shower I got dressed in my maid's uniform as I picked my
I stood on the balcony, watching them as my hands clenched tightly around the railing until they turned white. My chest was boiling with anger, my eyes filled with fire and I was ready to burn them. Why the fuck does she always try to get attention from any man like an attention seeking whore? My jaw clenched as I stepped forward like I wanted to jump the railing when he touched her hair and put it behind her ear. And she smiled, laughing at something he said. How they fuck are they this close? Acting like some lovers. Dante took her hand in his as he took a flower and fixed it behind her ear and she smiled, linking her arm with his. The sight of them like this made my heart boil with anger. No, it wasn't jealousy. No. I was mad at the fact that she was throwing herself at my cousin. I don't know why he would even be close to someone like her when he clearly knows who her mother is. I feel betrayed by him. She laughed again at something he said and my jaw ticked. What the fuc
“What do you mean Matteo?" I asked as I slowly stood up from my chair, and despite the cold look on my face, he didn't flinch or cower. “I found out that the only person who had access to the clip before I got it was Adriana which means she must have tampered with something, purposely or by accident,” he said and I remained quiet as my mind tried to process what he just said. Why would Adriana want to delete an audio from a security clip? Raven had accused her of telling the guards to rape her. Could that be it? Was Adriana capable of something like that? No, I shook my head as my eyes turned to the screen. Raven could be accusing her out of hate. But I wasn't going to just sit down and assume things. “I want you to get to the bottom of this? I need to know the activities Adriana carried out when she logged into the system,” "I already checked that but it only showed that she was reviewing the list for the border patrol team,” my hands clenched. I have never doubted Adriana e
The room was filled with tension as my eyes swept over the room of nervous looking council members and Alphas. It was like they all held their breath as I watched them. Good. Let them be scared. Let them tremble. “I believe I have men who are loyal and would stand with me against all odds?” I asked calmly and they all chorused ‘Yes, my King' I couldn't help but chuckle silently. I knew for a fact that among these men were traitors, those who were ready to stab me in the back the moment I turned but I played along. “Good, because right now I don't need traitors, because if I find one…” I let my words trail off. They knew what I was capable of. “Domenico, the rogue Alpha made a mistake of showing himself last night and now we must stop at nothing until we bring him to his knees," I spat and they all nodded in agreement. “He has caused nothing but trouble, silently hiding like a coward. I refuse to let him think he can come to my palace, disrupt my ball and go scout free,” my han
I don't know how we made it back to the bedroom but somehow we did. My back hit the wall and immediately Dario's lips were on me hard and demanding. My legs were around him as he ground his hard cock against my throbbing pussy. “Dario," I moaned into his mouth as his hand found one of my breasts and squeezed as he continued to move his hips against me. “What more can I ask for?" he groaned as he pulled up the dress I was wearing and the next thing I heard was the tearing of my underwear. “Dario!" I said and he chuckled, “I like it better when you have nothing underneath," he whispered against my lips before claiming it again and then I heard the sound of his belt. Without warning he slammed into me and a loud moan broke through my lips as I wrapped my legs tighter around him. The feeling of him inside me always feels new every fucking time. “You're so big," I moaned and he growled in male approval before he started moving his hips. Moving so slow it was torture. “Faster, plea
The doors to the throne room opened and Adriana walked in, her face filled with anger. She bowed like her neck was stiff and she didn't want to but didn't have a choice. “You sent for me, My King," she said and Dario hummed, “Why did it take you so long to get here?" He asked and she looked but at him, “I went for a run, so I had to take a shower before facing you my King," once again Dario hummed. “Have you seen my Queen?" He asked as he brought his nose to my neck, growling so low only I could hear. He made me sit down on his lap. He was just something else entirely. “Get on your knees and greet my Queen properly,” Adriana's head quickly snapped up to look at me and the look there was like she'd rather die than do what Dario just asked her. "She's not a Queen you're just confused at the right woman who is supposed to be your Queen and that's me!" Oh, oh. Was she trying to get herself killed? She doesn't know that Dario wouldn't hesitate to have her killed. He wasn't Xander.
“You think I don't know that?” Dario said and I quickly turned to him in confusion. “Know what?" Matteo asked and Dario laughed but there was nothing funny about the sound. “That there are traitors in every corner of this palace, not one, not two, several of them that can't wait for me to crumble so they can take my throne." He said as he slowly stood up from the chair he was sitting and I just watched him. “Being King comes with enemies, as a King if you don't have enemies you're not a true King, because it shows your throne is not worth taking. I know that not everyone who sits around us in council meetings actually agrees with us…if they had the choice and power, they'd kill me.” He stopped as he turned to Matteo, “So I don't think we might have a traitor in the palace, I know we have traitors here. You should know us by now Matteo, we like to work silently and let them think we're stupid while we quietly observe, looking for flaws, waiting for them to slip up. So far they've a
My back hit the shower wall as Dario claims my lips once again in a possessive kiss like he was branding my lips. It was so hot. Without warning he slammed into me and I screamed, throwing my head back. His eyes met mine and they were filled with so much lust and a promise to make me sore. And then he was moving. Slow at first like he was teasing me, testing the waters but then the dam broke and he was thrusting into me like the beast he is. “Oh fuck!" Dario growled as he pulled completely out of me and slammed right back in. He was anything but gentle and I love every bit of it. My fingers clawed at his back as I wrapped my legs tighter around him pushing him to go deeper, harder. And he obeyed. The sound of our skin slapping filled the room as my fingers dug into his back. “Please don't stop, harder!" I begged and he growled, thrusting into me even harder, If that was possible, because I felt like he was touching my womb. “Fuck, fuck," Dario growled as his eyes went to where
I woke up to the feeling of arms around me, holding me so close like I would disappear. I turned and there he was. Dario. Not Xander. He was staring at me with a sexy smirk that made my stomach flip. “Hello, beautiful," he whispered in a deep voice and I couldn't help but press my legs together. He saw the action and growled. “Are you trying to tempt me?” He said as he drew me even closer that there was no space between us and my breath hitched. "I don't think you mind,” I said, biting my lips. “Did you even sleep? You were staring at me when I woke up," I said as I brought my finger to his lips. He held my hand and brought it to his lips as he kissed me. “How could I sleep when I have you beside me? You don't seem to realize how distracting your beauty is," “You're so cheesy," I teased, “I can be anything for you," he said as his voice dropped to a low whisper before he suddenly turned me over and got on top of me. I could feel how hard he already was. “You're being naug
Xander stepped forward as his hand shot to his chest like he was fighting with his wolf. He growled, throwing his head back. His eyes met mine again and this time they belonged to Dario. I smiled weakly as he shifted into his wolf growling at everyone and they all took off. A brown wolf tried to block him but he bared his teeth at the wolf and it whimpered, stepping back. The wolf gave me a look before running off. I have a feeling that's Adriana. Dario walked towards me as he brought out his tongue and started licking my cut wrist, growling in anger. My heart was beating so fast it felt like it would fall out of my chest and my breathing was ragged. When Dario finished licking my wrist the cut closed up and then he went down like he was waiting for me to climb on his back. He nudged me with his head and I slowly stood up and got on his back. My body felt very weak. As soon as I settled on his back I held him for dear life as he slowly walked into the forest, being c
“What part of I can't shift don't you understand?" I asked as I took a step towards him. His eyes bore into mine challenging me to refuse—to disobey him and that's exactly what I was going to do. “Do not make me repeat myself," he warned as the others watched the exchange. They were all looking at me like I have lost my mind and maybe I have. The atmosphere was filled with tension and it felt like everyone was holding their breath as Xander and I continued to hold contact, waiting for who would break first. By law I'm not supposed to look into the King's eyes, but well, he's my fucking mate and I don't give a flying fuck what the law says. We continued to watch each other and I could see the way his jaw was clenched so tightly like his teeth would fall off. Behind him, Adriana looked at me like she wanted to kill me on the spot but I couldn't care less. “You're really testing me, Raven," Xander growled, his eyes burning with anger. “You're the one who has refused to understand
The first thing I noticed when I stepped out of my room was how tense the atmosphere was. I dismissed it as the aftermath of what happened last night as I made my way to the kitchen. But even as I entered the kitchen there was still a strange tension, one I couldn't understand. Just as I made my way to the table to start cutting vegetables as usual, a loud commanding voice rang through. “Everyone out, now!” I turned to the door to see one of the King's warriors standing there with a hard look on his face. For a moment nobody moved as we all looked at him in confusion. “Didn't you all hear me?! I said get the fuck out of this kitchen and go to the training ground,” as soon as he said that everyone stopped what they were doing and started rushing out of the kitchen, but I just stood there even more confused. Why was everyone going to the training ground? What's happening? "Are you deaf?! Or is it that you just have a problem with comprehending something?!” the warrior snapped
