Amara POV

As I sat down at the table, I felt as if the life was being squeezed out of me by the gown. Corsets are out of style these days, but the gowns that are worn are tightly laced in the back, just like a corset would be. I will never understand why any woman would ever wear such a thing.

Sebastian walked in and joined me, sitting at the end of the table, and I was next to him around the corner.

It was silent for the longest time. Mainly because I couldn’t hold enough breath to speak. Though, I’m still embarrassed about the whole situation outside..

As we were finishing up, Sebastian looked at me.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, furrowing his brows slightly.

“It’s hard to breathe.” I said, moving around to hopefully loosen the laces. He let out a sigh and stood up, then walked over to me.

“Stand.” He said. I pushed back the chair slightly and stood up, just as he asked. Why does he want me to stand?

I was surprised when he moved the chair and stood behind me.

  • The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate   36. Blessing

    This morning feels heavy with anticipation. The sunlight streamed through the chamber's balcony door and windows, casting soft, golden beams across the marble floor. Today is a big day. Lola’s Luna ceremony, or should I say, wedding. Ugh. Could this dress be any tighter? Could this day be any worse? Lola is going to have a major ego after this ceremony The gown looked like nothing I’d ever worn before. It was midnight violet, the color of twilight skies before the stars claimed the heavens. The fabric clung to my body, cinching my waist and pressing up my bre*sts to nearly my chin. Of course he’d make sure to find a way to show off my chest. The dress dipped low on my back, just above my bottom.. revealing more of my skin than I’m used to. It’s very bold.. Yet, I felt a wave of grace every time I moved in it. “It makes the gold in your eyes shine like the sun, my Queen,” Estra said as she finished the last knot on the skirts and tucked it in. I stared at myself in the mir

  • The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate   35. The dark forest

    Amara POV The cool night air brushed over my skin, the white silk of my nightgown fluttering slightly as I leaned against the balcony railing. The palace grounds below were quiet, bathed in silver moonlight. In the distance, I heard howls from the lycans and werewolves as they hunted. Sebastian, Alpha Braden, and the rest of the men were off celebrating. According to Sebastian, it’s tradition in the royal family to go on a hunt when every royal member marries. I should’ve felt relieved not to attend. But my mind buzzed. My body still ached from the sparring match—the sparring match. I’d bested the Dark Lycan King. Actually pinned him. And he’d yielded. Submitted, even for just a moment. The look in his eyes when he’d done it would haunt me. Or maybe warm me. I hadn’t decided yet. Dinner had been no less eventful. The memory of Lola’s smile faltering after my reply still made me smirk. I should’ve been worried, maybe even cautious. But tonight… I felt strong. Like I’d final

  • The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate   34. Fight for survival

    Sebastian POV For a moment, I didn’t move. I just watched her. Her chest heaved. Her hands curled into fists at her sides. The bond between us was buzzing, nearly like electricity at this moment. But I pushed the feeling aside. “Again,” I ordered, voice low. She didn’t hesitate. Good. Amara came at me faster this time—no warning, no hesitation. She ducked low, aiming for my midsection, but I read her move and braced for impact. Except she was ready for that. At the last second, she shifted left, spun on her heel, and slammed her elbow into my ribs causing immediate pain to radiate from the impact. I grunted, stumbling back a half step—more from surprise than actual force. But that split second was all she needed. She twisted, grabbing my arm as she moved behind me. Before I could wrench free, her foot hooked around my ankle, and with a vicious pull of her bodyweight.. I hit the ground hard, dust exploding around me. A stunned silence fell over the training yard.

  • The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate   33. Yield

    Sebastian POV I stood in the center of the fighting ring, waiting. My boots were planted in the dirt and my arms crossed over my chest. My gaze was fixed on the far end of the field where she’d be walking in any second now. Every nerve in my body was taut, ready—not just for the fight, but for the storm she always managed to bring with her. Around me, a few of the younger trainees had abandoned their drills, blades, and practice weapons, which were hanging and forgotten at their sides. They watched from the edge of the ring with barely restrained curiosity. Of course, they would. No one ever got to see the king spar. And certainly not with his queen. Queen. I could tell she was uncomfortable with the weight of that title. Sometimes I felt as if it didn’t sit right, as if she was too pure for this kind of world. But it would seem the Moon goddess had other plans. The air was crisp and cool with the bite of approaching dusk. The training grounds, normally a place of order and

  • The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate   32. Never had anyone worth losing

    Amara POV I tried so hard to look at everything I possibly could as we walked our way back to the carriage. I’d hardly even gotten to see a third of the vast market. I let out a small sigh of disappointment. As Sebastian walked next to me, I could feel the tension like crazy—the betrayal. And I’m not only sensing it from Sebastian, either. Edgar and Luther, who walk behind me, I can feel their anger. But I’m not sure who they’re mad at. Is it me? Is it the vampire? “We’ve all lost someone to vampires” Sebastian’s voice filled my mind like a cool breeze. “But what does that have to do with me?” I asked, my eyes averted from the vendor booths we walked past. I played with my fingers, trying to ignore the many eyes on us as we passed. “You wouldn’t understand.” He replied. I felt a pang of frustration as he cut the link. I wouldn’t understand.. no. He’s right about that. I haven’t lost anyone but my mother, who I didn’t even get the chance to know. I wouldn’t know what tha

  • The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate   31. Bloodsucker

    Amara POV Sebastian’s grip was nearly bruising as he yanked me away from the cloaked man. His body radiated heat and tension, a shield between me and the danger he clearly sensed. The man didn’t flinch or retreat. Instead, he cocked his head, shadows concealing most of his face, save for the unsettling gleam of those blood-red eyes. He tugged the cloth covering his mouth down, the corner of his lips tugging up into a smirk. Edgar and Luther came in behind us, their stances ready for any sudden attacks. Is all of this really necessary? The man- no vampire, hasn’t done anything.. I’ve never seen a vampire before.. but this is most definitely not what I had in mind. He’s actually.. not bad looking. And now that I think of it.. he’s quite attractive. With beautiful pale skin, a chiseled jawline covered in stubble, and a great nose.. I shake the thoughts from my head. “I meant no harm,” the vampire said, his voice like honeyed silk as his gaze flicked over to me. “I only sought
