ALPHA XAVIER POVThe entire castle hall was silent, everyone suddenly seemed to want to be in a different place at the same time but none could move an inch except I said so.I turned slowly to scan the hall, Isabel seemed grateful that Valerian had spoken up on her behalf. Marita was shaking her head slowly, in a silent plea for me not to react. Thalia had a look that made her seem like someone who wanted to cringe. I had noticed that Valerian was finally making advances at her, since I let the cat out of the bag during our fight and I also know she's Isabel's closest friend. So, I could understand why her expression was the grimmest of all.Theodrin seemed less concerned, and so did Dyelin. Kira seemed very concerned, I didn't quite understand her relationship with Isabel. "Of course, what was I thinking?" I turned and looked at Isabel and back at Valerian, and back at Isabel. "Yes, you are totally right." I casually strolled back to my throne-like chair, with a smirk on my face. "
ISABEL POVThe room seemed to be buzzing with a sound I could not understand but it was having an adverse effect on me. It seemed like I was tuning to a frequency and it was difficult to resist. It seemed like my urge to mate was suddenly heightened.What was happening to me? Was I the only one who could hear that sound? He didn't give any outward expression that he could hear it, he didn't even look at me, besides occasionally looking up to take in all of me, he really didn't care.This was wrong, very wrong. I really wanted to mate, I had never had this feeling, it was similar to the same feeling I had, the night Alpha Xavier left me hanging, just close to my first ever sexual bliss. Was this Alpha Xavier's doing? Or was it Valerian's doing? Surely he doesn't intend to be intimate with me.The next time I looked up to his eyes, there was fire in it, there was yearning, there was desire. His eyes were not just that blue sexy eyes it was earlier, it was a shade different. "Is this roo
ALPHA XAVIER POV The exquisite bedroom suddenly seemed uncomfortable. A familiar scent kept drifting through the room and was gone before I could catch a better smell of it. It was interfering as I poured over the different reports on my desk.A lot seemed to be happening at the same time that I needed to be right on top of. And it doesn't help that Dario is plotting against me, I possibly can't have Thornridge, Darkwood, Emberwood and even the flaming Belcheya all plotting against me. All it takes is for Dario to find out they all have a grudge and unite all of them against me. Emrys would never move against me, but he has warned me. I suddenly heard great laughter from down the castle and I felt angry. I was not sure if anger was the right emotion I felt, but I know I felt envy, and jealousy, clothed with rage.'Why are you jealous, you did cast her out, and mandated that she sleeps with Valerian.' I heard that still small voice in my head accusing me. "Burn her!" I cussed in a si
ISABEL POVI drifted off to sleep almost immediately and collapsed on top of Alpha Xavier, tired and exhausted. Sara had not told me sexual bliss that comes from making love, especially when you love that person and you know they love you too. Alpha Xavier had confessed his love for me but I suspected he was under the influence of the moment.I had woken up before midnight to Alpha Xavier eating me out and driving me crazy with his wicked tongue. He seemed to be pulling some unseen strings attached to my body and I reacted as he dictated the tune. We made love again, and laid there cuddled up while he planted feathery kisses on my chin and ran his hand through my hair. "You are here again? You must like him huh?" A beautiful lady, probably in her late teens, dressed in white, spoke to me."I don't know, he's the first man I've ever loved..." I started to speak but trailed off. "Why does that make you uncomfortable, and don't even try to deny it. It's written all over you." She said
ISABEL POVTears ran down my cheeks as I walked through the streets of Tarrenhall in Wolfshade, this was definitely not what I wanted in life, my father would never have allowed me to pass through all of this. This was the worst humiliation I've ever had in my life. Alaric kissing Theodrin was a sight that made me want to puke, Alaric and Renata had been the duo that had found me. He had seemed sweet and charming, he kept reassuring me that everything was going to be alright when we arrived in Wolfshade. What was I thinking, not everyone can stand up to Alpha Xavier like Valerian.Everyone tried to avoid me like a plague when I entered the castle of serenity, all of them trying to avoid the fact that I was stinking. The castle seemed deserted when I climbed a floor higher. "Wow, did you have a fight with a mule or something?" Kira greeted, with a hand over her nose."Yeah, my mate wanted it." I said with a smile and walked past her but then stopped and turned to face her. "Thank you
ALPHA DARIO POVMy vacation in Lunaria has been splendid so far, I didn't realize I'd enjoy it this much. Experiencing the glory of Lunaria made me understand I needed to change my fortunes at Thornridge.Thornridge was a poor kingdom, by the standards of Alpha Xavier's Wolfshade, and Alpha Emrys' Lunaria. "Lovely morning, Alpha Dario." The female who had shared my bed with me two nights ago poke ahead through the door and greeted me."Daisy, lovely morning to you too." I gestured for her to come in. "What can I do for you?" She came in, and flashed one of those smiles that could melt even a heart of stone."Thank you, you are very sweet Alpha Dario. The Queen, Aria, requests an audience." She said, still smiling."Alright, thank you Daisy." She turned to leave and images of our last time together flashed before my eyes. I wanted a rematch. "Hold on, where?" "Oh, The Visitors Court." She turned to face me. The peach silk robe she wore, left a lot to be seen. "I don't know where that
ISABEL POV I stayed indoors for the rest of the day, and even throughout the next day. I did not want to step out of the room. I could not face the people in Tarrenhall, where the Castle of Serenity was situated. They had all gathered and watched Theodrin humiliate me. It had been too much to take in, I had ended up begging her to have mercy but my pleading only spurred her on. Seeing me reduced to begging excited her a great deal even though it made me fume. Why did Alpha Xavier give her charge over me, knowing we were in an unspoken rivalry.Theodrin had me haul some heavy stuff to her room and there after, had me clean her room like a flaming serving girl, while she deliberately messed up anywhere I had cleaned and had me redo it. She bossed me around and wore me out. Marita had to come tell her off as dusk began to settle. "You've had your fill with her Theodrin, now you must let her go." She said in a very strong and dominant voice."Would you like to replace her in serving me
ALPHA XAVIER The women circle didn't really surprise me, I had not expected Verin to pull such a thing against me. I thought she was on my side? The confrontation in public had not been what I had expected, and I ended up promising to be fair to their Alpha Female. Since when did they have the right to intervene is the affairs of mates. Only the moon goddess had such powers and even at that, I have the right to decide if I want to heed her advice or not.Isabel is my mate first, before being their flaming Alpha female. It was my being mated to her that made her an Alpha female. It shouldn't change the fact that I can't treat my flaming wife the way I want."You went too far Xavier." Verin had said when I went to her pleasure house later that evening and she refused to allow me access to her body. "How could you make her roll in animal feces? And even have her walk around the inner city? You are wicked Xavier." She said the last part with sadness in her voice and I instantly felt a ti
