The leader of the Crescent moon, Lucas, looked at the supreme leader of the witches, her holiness, in shock. His mind processed the thought that he had just heard her say and he wondered if he hadn't misheard the woman. How was he, a lowly leader of the Crescent moon tribe, be betrothed to a woman as high and mighty as her Holiness? It couldn't be, he thought.A mere werewolf like him was nothing if they were being compared. Her Holiness was a woman of high caliber and the leader of all the witches that ever existed in the world. One order from her and even him would be butting heads with other lowly servants to get her wish done. The only person that Lucas was sure was higher in position than queen Jezebel was the moon.Her Holiness was someone who even had the privilege to see the moon goddess, even if it was ten times in a day. For someone like him who was only a leader of a small tribe, the only times that he had the chance to see the moon goddess was when there was a meeting for
As Lucas and queen Jezebel walked on through the journey, Lucas remained silent. He was lost in thought over what Her Holiness had said before they left the house. His thought reflected on whether or not the queen of the witches meant what she had said about making him impotent. Even though she had smiled after she said the words, Lucas couldn't put it past the witch to do such a thing.I won't do such a thing. He heard a voice say into his mind and he blinked at the queen.I thought we agreed that you won't snoop through my thoughts again. Lucas said through his brain.I wasn't going to but you were so silent that I began to have a second thought if all of these were lies. She told him."I am not lying to you," Lucas said in assurance to her."It's not the first time I was lied to. I only managed to escape using my powers." She said with a shrug.Lucas looked at her in a very serious tone. Young as she was, Lucas was sure that she had gone through a lot and he felt pity for her. He w
OLIVIA'S POV.The sound of tires screeching through the road woke me up from the peaceful sleep I was having. The jostling of the car alerted me to the fact that we were on the road; I and whoever was driving. My head hurt and the smell of the fumes from the vehicle made me feel nauseated and I covered my mouth in fear that I might lose my breakfast or lunch or whichever it was I had before those people had abducted me.Remembering that little fact made me open my eyes so fast, my eyes teared up from the effect. I looked around at the interior part of the vehicle I was in and I saw that it was a battered pickup van that looked like it was better situated to be at the scrap home for metals and cars.When the vehicle hit another bump, I began to panic. Who were those people that were in the vehicle with me? I thought to myself. Even though I was hearing voices, I couldn't place a face on them since those people were at the front of the car and there was something like a shield preventin
OLIVIA'S POVWe arrived at the packhouse and the set of unfamiliar faces I saw made me feel uneasy. They looked at me like I had horns growing out of my head."Just ignore them for now." Niamh said, "I'm sure you would like to have some rest instead of chatting around with people you don't know."Niamh was right.Even if I chatted with those people who looked at me with unfamiliarity, I wouldn't know what to say or how to introduce myself. My mate and I had to speak first to conclude how he would like me to be introduced to his people. He already took a big risk, taking me out of Leo's grasp and I couldn't be more grateful. My heart pounded in my chest as we entered the huge mansion that looked unfamiliar and different. Unlike the one I lived in, this one looked elder and the designs were almost Renaissance-looking. The structure made it looked one of the castles I could only read about in books.I didn't mean to get so excited but i couldn't help it. I suddenly felt like a princess.
JULIAN POV.All through the night, I couldn't sleep because I was lost in thought over my mate. Her quick reaction to accept me baffled me the most. True, we were mates but given the circumstances of how she came to be in my care, I felt like she should have protested about the unfair way I had gotten her to my home.The fact that she was with a man before I asked my men to get her should have also made her angry. I had thought that she would be so angry with me that she would eat me raw which was the reason why I had arrived later in the night than earlier.But she hadn't said anything about how uncomfortable it was for her. She had hugged me instead and had even settled down with me when I asked that we should eat. When I remembered how jovial and lively she had been with me, it gave me the insight that she didn't mind me abducting her from my brother.When my omega, Niamh, had even told me that my mate had first disturbed them out of fright, I had been worried. But when Niamh told
JULIAN'S POVI stared at the papers in front of me, spreading them open. There had been a lot of reports of someone abusing the spirit codes and it was starting to take a toll on me to find them. I ran my hands through my hair, leaning back in my chair.I suspected Leo, but I wanted to get more feasible proof before I came out. If I told everyone without proof, they wouldn't take me seriously and just consider this another one of our fights.This is fucking irritating. I rubbed my neck, releasing the kinks that were in it as I rotated my head. I heard a satisfying pop and I got to work on my fingers.I had finished with my right hand and was about to begin my left when my door opened. Considering I was the alpha, the only person who could open my door like that without consequences would be my family.And I only had one family in my pack. My sister, Jane, walked in with a swagger. And I wanted to deck her just because of it. "You should learn to knock, Jane. I am still your Alpha. Do
*Olivia's POV*I was contemplating breaking the window when the door opened. Julian stood there and I ignored how much attracted to him I was.I remembered how our last meeting went and immediately turned away."Olivia." I ignored the flutters that set off in my belly when he called my name, picking at the bedsheets. "I am here to apologize. I didn't mean to yell at you or make you feel bad."I didn't turn to look at him, focusing on picking out the lint on the bedsheets. Irrational man. He thinks he can just say sorry and everything would be okay? He has to be kidding. "Olivia. Please look at me. Just look at me. You are killing us." Us? He must mean his wolf. He still doesn't know I can't shift. I turned around slowly and his face lit up in a wide smile. "I am sorry."He moved forward and pulled me into a hug, immediately filling my lungs with his smell. I buried my nose in his chest, making him laugh. "Does this mean you forgive me? I have someplace else to take you. It would be up
OLIVIA'S POV.As soon as I got to my room, I sank into my bed and began to shiver. When I had arrived at this Black Shadow pack, I had thought that I was free completely from that creepy man that my father had sold me to in the form of a mate. But now it seemed like the joy I felt at being away from the home and surroundings of Alpha Leo was going to be cut short.I don't want him to find me. Somewhere in my heart, I had prayed to the moon goddess several times for the Alpha of the Blue Blood not to even notice that I was missing not to talk about him looking for me. But, no, it seemed like the moon goddess was bent on not listening to me no matter what I prayed to her about.Why was he looking for her in any case? It was probably because of how he had always acted creepy toward me, I thought and my teeth clattered together. My heart began to hammer against my chest and I held it tightly as I remembered how he had always tried to force himself on me.One of the cruelest times that wou
