Dina’s POV
“You marked me?!”
I was gawking at my own reflection in the bathroom, unable to believe my own eyes. But then again, why was I even surprised? I knew--- I mean, I’d noticed how I was suddenly able to feel his emotion a lot clearer and felt the bond that was growing ever so peacefully and slowly inside us. Like everything inside me had fallen into place. I felt at peace and I felt at home.
But that didn’t stop my mind from going haywire. He had marked and mated me. I was now fully mated to the Alpha of the Black Lunar pack. One of the most powerful on the continent with an alpha equally ruthless and fierce. And I was now mated to that said alpha…
Levi stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his torso. For a second, I forgot that I was supposed to be mad at him. Damn, why did he have to look so devilishly delicious? Droplets of water ran down his toned lines, disappearing between hi
Dina's POVI blushed at his tone, a mix between want and need.He said it as if he owned me.And I him…“Damn, that possessive tone is turning me on!” I heard echoing off the walls. And gasped when I realized I was the one who had spoken them. I quickly shut my mouth, trying to cover up my mistake. I hadn’t meant to say that out loud. But of course, me being me, my bad luck didn’t stop there.When I moved my hands to cover my mouth, my undone towel fell, exposing my naked body to my mate once more. I gasped and desperately tried to grab it back; but failed. A low rumble had Levi's chest vibrating. I dared to dart a look at him, but I already knew what awaited me. His eyes had darkened into an almost pitch-black obsidian color and a mischievous smile crept across his lips. Before I knew what was happening, he grabbed my ass and placed me on the vanity. I instinctively wrapped around him as he
Dina’s POVWe both jumped up at the sound of an intruder, but after a second, Levi groaned while I turned all shades of red.It was Michael!“Shit!” I muttered under my breath, ready to jump out of the tub and hide under the bed. As if sensing my plans, Levi wrapped an arm around me, holding me in place.“I’ll get rid of him,” he sighed and kissed my wet cheek--- and did nothing else! I don’t know what I was expecting, but that wasn’t it!Confused, I gazed up at him--- My heart dropped when I finally realized what he was doing. His eyes had turned a bright silver color, indicating that he was mind-linking his Beta.“What?! NO! Don’t---” I gasped, feeling my body practically burn with embarrassment. I didn’t know much about the mind link, but I knew Michael had the curiosity of a cat. The second he got wind of something, he was going to
Dina's POV“Then we’ll keep it a secret,” Levi’s voice cut through the maelstrom of emotions. Confused, I blinked up at him, not really sure I understood what he'd just said.“What?!”Levi walked over to me and I watched as the alpha knelt before me.“We’ll keep it a secret,” he repeated, his gaze never leaving mine. “You’ll move out. You’ll say the job took too much of your time away from homework. We’ll date, like normal couples and-and--- when the time is right, we’ll---”He trailed off his words as if trying to find the right thing to say. Meanwhile, I took another look at him. He was one of the most gorgeous men I’d ever seen. He had a rough appearance, sure, and his eyes were mostly cold and hard. But they could hold so many emotions too. Like right now. They were alive with genuine fear and desperation to fix what he'd broken. He
Dina’s POV“WHAT?!” Rita shrieked once I told her the news.“Shh! Do you mind?” I hushed her, trying not to let the beaming smile on her face get to me. God, is that what I looked like when she and Michael got together? I rolled my eyes at her overflowing happiness, but it didn’t take long before a smile found its way to my lips as well. “It’s nothing big! I’m just going on a date with Levi.”OK, so I wasn’t telling her the entire spam of “the news”. As I said, I wanted to be fired for a while and date before everyone found out about me and Levi being mates. And perhaps getting used to the idea of becoming the Luna too. And to make matters worse, an alpha didn’t usually mark his mate until she/he had completed their Luna training. AND had the approving signature of the Council.So, we were doing things a bit backward…“With
Levi’s POV“And still no idea how they got in?” I asked, blocking another hit from Mick.“No,” Mick said, who was also my sparring partner this morning. “The patrol was quiet all night, not a single---” I punched him in the gut, before throwing him on the floor. The mat absorbed most of the impact, but he still grunted in pain while he tried to get back up.I might just be holding a little less back than usual. Not only did he let me believe that he and Dina had a thing going on, but he also let me believe that I didn’t stand a chance with her. That she wouldn’t love me back. And my wolf was a little pissed about that.I couldn’t suppress a growl. All that time, trying to hold back and be the bigger person--- for nothing?!That didn’t sit right with us at all!“No breaches, until you called that attack in,” Mick huffed, as he got
Dina’s POV“Is it too late to run?” I asked nervously and Rita had to swat my hands away from my teeth again. She’d just finished doing my nails, but I was still itching to bite them.“Yes!” she exclaimed, pulling me out of the chair and to her closet. “Come on!”I was going to attend the infamous family dinner. According to Levi, it would be our first official date. I was very much against it, thinking it was too fast. And as always, Levi accommodated everything I said and agreed to take me out on a "real" date on Saturday first. However, we ended up spending most of Saturday morning, day, and night in bed ravishing each other, before settling for a movie and a terrible burnt frozen pizza.Yeah, I apparently could burn that too...Now I was a nervous wreck because I was with Rita getting ready. Mostly because I didn’t own a lot of clothes and make-up was a concept foreign to me
Dina's POV“Come in! Come in!” Sally ushered, pushing us ahead into the dining room. “Boys! Girls! Dinner is ready!”“Hey! Levi’s date is here!” I heard a girl call behind us. I spun around, noticing a short girl and a tall boy standing frozen on the steps. Both of them had pitch-black hair and, especially the boy, was the spitting image of Michael.“She’s real?!” the boy snapped, his large blue eyes shamelessly giving me one over. “Fuck, she’s hot.”Instantly a loud growl filled the room. I snapped my attention to Levi, whose eyes now were flickering between blue and gold. I sighed and my wolf mentally shook her head.Possessive alphas!As if we’d give a boy like that a second glance when we have a man like Levi…“Sorry, man!” the boy quickly submitted, exposing his neck. “I didn’t mean it like
Dina’s POVI skipped down the stairs, getting ready for breakfast, when I saw it.There was a package by the front door...I didn’t think much of it. It happened all the time. I even had a firm belief that the mailman was terrified of Levi, which was why any package delivered to this address was left by the door.Dogs and their postmen, I grinned. My wolf scoffed, feeling quite offended. I just had to remind her, that any offense to her had to go through me first. And apparently, that made her happy…I shook my head and took the package into the kitchen. I felt like walking on a cloud. I know you’re supposed to hate Monday mornings, but somehow--- No, I knew exactly why I couldn’t today...Yesterday had been amazing!Sunday with Levi’s family was something I definitely could get used to. Not to mention that Levi made very good of his promise to pay me back for tha
Dina's POVMy heart dropped and my blood ran cold.“Please tell me you’re talking about Las Vegas and not the actual Sin City,” I questioned, feeling a cold shiver creep down my spine. But the genuine fear on his expression said it all.Well, shit!“What would The Vampire King want with us?" I asked, feeling dread slowly creep up my spine. A wolf never wanted to take on a vampire alone and I definitely didn't want to take on a vampire while my wolf was MIA. Sure, a werewolf was stronger than a vampire, but they still had speed and agility on their side.Qualities that were handy in a fight...Only an alpha could ever face a vampire alone and match its speed, but Levi had been the only wolf I'd ever heard of that could take on several of them alone. But then again, Levi's wolf was Bloodlustled and was probably in a deadly league of his own."You don't suppose he'd into burned p
Dina's POVThis had to be some kind of joke, right? Why would anybody want to kidnap me? I was--- well, me! I was as interesting as a sack of potatoes! Hell, I still couldn’t fully wrap my head around what the hell Levi saw in me, but---“You can’t be that surprised,” Michael rolled his eyes at me, unable to believe how incredibly gullible I was. “This isn’t exactly the first time they’ve tried to kidnap you.”Ok, true!But that was because of Dylan, right? Levi said that--- Oh, wait! We never actually finished that conversation…“But-but---,” I stuttered, still trying to wrap my mind around it. “Why?!”“That’s what we’ve been trying to figure out for months now!” Michael groaned. “Why are you the target?”“I-I don’t---,” I began but
Dina’s POVIf I ever see a vampire again – In. My. LIFE! – It will be too soon!My vision was blurry from whatever they drugged me with, and my legs felt like jelly. Scratch that! My entire body felt like gelatin! My brain was woozy and even my wolf was acting like she was high on something. Nothing coherent came from her and I decided to block her out before she gave me a headache.I looked up and noticed I was in some sort of cell. It was dark; the only light coming from a small window on a door on the other side of the wall. I tried to get up, but my body was still sluggish and weak.Which was strange!I could feel my wolf, so why was my strength---? I tried to get up again, but with the same result. I then tried to mind-link Levi, but nothing! The only thing I managed to get was a howl from my wolf, who was acting like someone had lit her tail on fire. She was in pain one moment and
Levi's POVI blinked.“Tattoo?” I echoed in disbelief. Even my wolf was curious now. I’d seen her body naked and bare, and I’d never seen a single spot on her that indicated she had any kind of marking.“She has a tattoo on her back,” Rita continued, unphased by my skepticism. In fact, she was smirking, happy that she knew something that I didn’t: “One that can only be seen in moonlight--- some witchy shit! Scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it.” She shrugged. “She said it was a gift from her mother when she turned 12 and shifted for the first time.”12?!Normal wolves didn’t change until 14! Unless something traumatic happened and forced the wolf; like in my case.“Did something happen when she was 12?” I frowned, not really knowing what to do with this information. It said in her file that she shifted at 14.Was
Levi’s POVI’d been trying to get along with Rita, but all that effort seemed to have resulted in more reasons why I didn't like her. Sure, I knew, I didn’t have the gentlest temper around, but seriously! My anger was in the red zone the second she opened her mouth. She just had an attitude I couldn’t stand.And my wolf straight out hated her!He blamed her that we had to keep away from our mate for so long. If Dina’s scent wasn’t mixed in with hers, we wouldn’t have thought that Mick was seeing Dina.And YES!That was ridiculous, I knew that. But I couldn’t seem to move to pass it!We walked in an awkward silence back to the packhouse. Neither one of us could get there fast enough and, hopefully, Mick would join us soon. So far, he’d been acting as the middleman between us. Otherwise, I think I would have rejected her as my Beta Female already.I
Dina’s POVIt was so painfully obvious that Dylan was the culprit, that I almost felt embarrassed for myself. Who else had been an expert at sneaking in and out of the pack, without anyone noticing? He knew the routine, the shifts, the training… Everything! He knew this pack borders like the back of his hand. And if there was some sort of secret passageway to get in and out of the pack, I know he knew about it! I’d heard him brag about it more times than I cared to remember.And he was the one who helped the vampires and the rogues to get in and out.I couldn’t believe that my brother would sell out his pack like that. The “why” didn’t really matter to me. If there was money in it, it wasn’t below Dylan to sell out his own mother to get rich fast.Thank the goddess that they weren’t around to see what their son had become…My wolf was pissed!Our
Dina's POVI dozed off again but woke up when a pleasant voice sounded in the room.“Alpha?” I recognized Michael’s voice. “I heard she was awake.”I tried to open my eyes again and this time, I successfully managed to make out the light in the room and the tall, dark-haired man in the doorway. Things were still blurry, but I noticed that the more came into focus the stronger my wolf felt. Well, the wolf and human really were one…“She is, but she’s resting,” Levi mumbled, clearly pissed off by being disturbed. His voice was gruff and husky. Apparently, he’d been asleep too. “What do you want?”“I came here to see my best friend so bug off,” another sharp voice said, shuffling the beta out of the way and getting in. I grinned at the welcoming sound of my favorite pain in the ass. Once she got close enough, I could even see her face clearly as a war
Dina’s POVWaking up, it felt like someone had run me over with a semi-truck. Everything was hurting, my muscles were sore, and my throat felt like someone had tried to cleanse it with a steel brush.“She’s breathing on her own now,” I heard a woman say somewhere next to me. “It’s a good sign, Alpha.”Alpha? Levi was here?“Le---” I tried to call out to him, but my voice was hoarse and gruff. As if I’d spent all night screaming. And not in a good way! I had a metallic taste in my mouth and, for some reason, it felt like I had a ton of bricks on top of me, making it extremely difficult to breathe.I tried to open my eyes but was met with complete darkness.“Dina!” A dark, velvet voice sounded on my other side. It was a voice I recognized, no matter where I was.“Levi,” I sighed, feeling tears push against my ey
Levi's POVI roared, making it clear that she was currently insignificant to me.“They-they don’t want her dead,” she screamed, and finally her red swollen eyes met mine. “It-it was for you!”Shocked, I felt my anger dim.The poison was for me?!Why?Had I been the target all along?Had I been looking at this the wrong way the entire time?“They wanted to kill you," Angela continued to cry, as something that looked like regret and pain flashed across them. I just wasn't sure who those feelings were for. "They need her alive.”So, my mate was the target.But---?“WHY?”The question left my lips before I’d even managed to think. It didn't make any sense. Why would they target my mate? What was so special about her? Other than her being the most amazing person I'd ever had the great hono
