Author: NIGHT OWL
last update Last Updated: 2025-04-24 03:33:26

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 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

    “Are you sure about this dress, Dante? It's a little…provocative,” I asked as I looked at myself in the mirror. The dress was beautiful, hugging my curves in all the right places, but it left very little to the imagination. It was a deep, sultry red—the color of temptation. The fabric clung to my body like a second skin, dipping low in the front to reveal a teasing amount of cleavage, while the back was entirely open, held together by thin crisscrossing straps that barely did the job. The thigh-high slit revealed a dangerous amount of leg with every step I took, and the satin shimmered under the light like liquid fire. Dante stepped up behind me, his eyes meeting mine in the mirror. “That’s the point,” he said smoothly. “You’ll have every man in that room watching you—and every woman hating you.” He grinned as he tilted his head. “And do you know what that means?" “What?" I asked, “That would have a certain man who claims to hate you boiling," he said with a wicked smirk, “We'

    "Where the fuck is Dante?!" I growled slamming my hands on the table as I stood up from my chair. “They're still not back," Matteo said and I turned to him with a glare, “Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on her?" I asked, “I asked someone to follow them, the last update I got, they were still in town…shopping,” he said, What does Dante think he's doing? We've got things to plan, we've got things to discuss and he's spending time with Raven instead of doing more important things. “Gustavo sent me images from where they were last spotted," he said as he brought out his phone and handed it to me. I narrowed my eyes before collecting the phone and immediately my eyes landed on the pictures, my chest burned with fury. Why were they holding hands like they both went on a date? What the hell is this? “Is she forgetting that she's an omega and is supposed to be helping out with the preparations but she's out there having fun and wasting time like she's a princess or something,” I spat

    I was making my way to my room when I bumped into someone and immediately, I froze as our eyes met. I felt something tighten in my chest, and the need to just claw into the person's chest was unbearable but I stopped myself. “I'm sorry, I wasn't looking," I said instead as I moved aside for her to pass. She didn't move at first, she kept looking at me like she was looking for something before coming back to her senses and quickly walking away. She turned around to look at me briefly and then she was gone. I stood there looking at where she had been standing and I couldn't help but smirk. Fate just made tonight even better. One of the twenty on my list came to me herself. One of the people who stood there while my parents were being killed. I clenched my hands in anger as my chest boiled. But I calmed myself down. I had to remind myself that fate has brought her straight into my hands and I couldn't mess that up. It seems like I'll be paying someone a visit. She must be here

    Adriana tense beside me as the entire hall became quiet, looking at the woman descending the stairs. She looked like a goddamn goddess that decided to grace the world with her presence. All eyes were on her and I felt my jaw clench, as Adriana hand held mine tightly. The dress she wore fit her like it was custom made for her and only she could pull off that dress. She looked so beautiful, so different. So elegant. “What is she doing here?" Adriana muttered under her breath in anger, Just then I caught movement in the corner of my eyes and I saw Dante walking towards the stairs and just as Raven reached the foot of the stairs he took her hand helping her down. My jaw ticked. She linked her arm with his, smiling at him as he took her away into the crowd. People immediately got back to their conversation but others couldn't take their eyes off her. Especially the men. The dress she was wearing demanded attention and she was getting that attention. Something dark boiled inside me

    The ball continued, but the tension on my shoulders refused to ease. Laughter echoed through the grand ballroom, glasses clinked, and the orchestra played a soft waltz in the background. Yet, I felt as if I were standing at the edge of a battlefield, not a celebration. Each time I'd turn in their direction and there would be something to piss me off. It's either Dante was whispering something to her and she was laughing or his hand was holding hers like she belonged to him. My wolf was growling at the sight but I kept reminding myself that I didn't fucking care. But I almost lost it when his hand touched the small of her back going a little lower. “Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the King and his…” the announcer stopped as he turned to look at me, then Adriana. "It's time to welcome the king for the first dance,” he finally said, I dropped the glass I was holding and took Adriana's hand and led her to the dance floor. Soft music played as Adriana and I began to move to the m

    Night came and I was laying stiffly beside Dario. I wanted to sneak out of bed but I knew it was going to be a problem. Dario was very possessive of me and the way his hands were wrapped so tightly around me was like a chain I couldn't get out of. I turned my body to face him and he was deep in sleep, his beautiful black hair tousled on his face. Damn it. He was so handsome I was tempted to abort my plan but I knew if I missed this opportunity, I might never get it again. Slowly I twisted and Dario groaned in his sleep making me freeze. Please don't wake up. I prayed silently that he wouldn't wake up. He pulled me to his chest as he sleepily kissed my shoulder muttering quiet words of love to me before everywhere became quiet. Dario was something else. He was totally and utterly in love with me. I was finally able to get out of his hold but I was still on the bed. The hardest part was over, what I needed to do right now is sneak out of this room. I climbed down from bed and qu

    “Hey, hey, hey, chill, I'm your brother," Dante said as he pointed to himself then brought his hands in front of him in a calming gesture trying to calm Dario, but the look on Dario's face was murderous. “What gives you the right to think you can touch what's mine?” Dario asked in a deadly voice as he took a threatening step towards Dante and I blocked him immediately. His eyes narrowed at me in warning. “She's my friend," Dante defended, “And she's my mate, you're not supposed to look at her or breath in her direction and you have the fucking guts to hug her," “Possessive much," Dante muttered under his breath but Dario heard him. He was about to take another step towards Dante but I quickly wrapped my arms around him. “Dante go, quick." I said but Dante just didn't like his head. "Grumpy cousin,” he said and Dario growled before Dante quickly ran away. "I'm yours,” "You sure are.” he growled lowly and before I could say anything he took my hand and was taking me down the

    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
