Liam's Pov The atmosphere in the dining room was relaxing and nice if Damien trying to disappear was ignored.Madam Kimmy kept on refilling Lelia's plate, her daughter talking animatedly to anyone paying her attention while Xander looked at Lelia with so much warmth in his eyes.Lelia wasn't aware of it. How long will she be unaware of the fact that she was his mate?I could see us meeting like this every morning, our numbers increasing with the addition of mates and children.We needed to take care of Antonio quickly.“Liam I know that the village is protected, but along with training, we will have to watch the perimeters and the surrounding areas of the forest” said Xander.“Yes Alpha. Maybe recruit wolves from this village?”“I don't feel comfortable dragging them into this but they need to be trained. To keep them alert and prepared for anything.”I nodded and finished my meal. Antonio had a lot of men at his disposal, he might have stolen some of Lelia's powers. Although the wa
Lelia's Pov “What?!” I exclaimed, the feeling of disappointment vanishing.“What do mean stronger?” asked Liam.“In the past, I could barely sense her wolf. Her presence was like a dying echo but now, it's more like a strong shadow. Does that make sense?”“Oh my gosh.” I got up and paced in front of them. “Do you think it's because I used my powers?”“Maybe. What if it's because you were in constant danger and your wolf was trying to get closer to you in order to protect you?” Liam asked.“That's also a disturbing probability. Tomorrow we'll ask Damien if Antonio took the artefact, if not I'll have to search the area where we fought.” Xander replied.“I can start practicing my powers-”“No!!” They chorused, cutting me off.“Why not?” I asked, folding my arms under my breast and glaring at them.“Lelia, you need to recover and let your body rest. If you strain yourself too much, you may cause permanent damage to your body.” Xander said, getting up to stand in front of me.I know he's
Lelia's PovI was getting tired of waking up in strange rooms. But, I was also grateful that I wasn't in that dungeon due to the ceiling I was looking at.Memories of yesterday's events filled my head and I quickly sat up.I remembered the happiness that filled me as I saw Xander with Liam, I fainted after that but I can't recall anything else.The room was spacious and neat and smelt strongly like Xander.The scent of the earth after a good rain mixed with the scent of coffee beans.I left the bed and the room, clutching my aching stomach as I headed downstairs where there were voices.Xander looked so serious as he stared at a pathetic looking Damien. Liam was also looking fiercely at Damien.“Well? Did you do the ceremony or not?” Liam asked.I paused, what ceremony?“No, but we had a lot of sex. Why are you asking?” Damien's voice was very low.“If you'd done the ceremony then you'll be able to sense where your mate was at all times. I don't know if sex creates that type of bond.”
Xander's PovI was shocked to see a carbon copy of Lelia but male. Carlson did not have any son, I was suspicious, thinking he was an imposter, an ally of Antonio's at the event so l was mindful and yes remember, l always knew Leila was my mate since her 18th birthday.Hala calmed me down, “He has the blessing of the goddess.”His calm nature and wise gaze told me there was a whole lot to him than being my mates twin. I could see myself becoming good friends with him and yes we had a little time to talk.“Where's Damien?” I thought l asked to let him in. He wasn't in the house and I didn't trust him.“He's outside. Liam wanted saying something but I asked him to wait so we'll hear what he has to say at once.”I took another gulp of the drink, “Do you trust him?”“Trust is a strong word, I don't want to kill him.”I nodded, “Let him in then.”He took his drink back and finished it.“Alright.”Liam left and returned with Damien.I clenched my fist, keeping the desire to kill him in the
Antonio's Pov The sorcerer who would help me do the ritual paused.“Someone just left the house.”I stared at the door, there was no need to go after the person. There was nothing they could do right now.“Leave them, stopping me is impossible right now. I just need to find that girl.”He nodded, “I'll be on my way. You know how to call me when you find her.” He got up and dusted off invisible dirts from his robes.“You won't stay?” I asked, following him out of the house.“I have other people to attend to in the meantime.”“I understand. As far as you don't delay when I need you then we're good.”He nodded and walked away, murmuring teleportation spells.My mind wondered back to the volana wolf in the forest. There was no records on them because they were said to be extinct, that aside, why didn't she kill me. She had the power to.I sighed, there was no need to think about that now. Once I obtain the powers from Lelia, I can hunt her down. Right now, finding Lelia was priority.I h
Amelia's PovThat bitch!! She just couldn't stop could she?Always present and annoying like a fucking hovering fly.And Damien. How could he? He knew how I felt about her and he was my mate.Mine.Was it her powers that drew all the men to her? Even my fucking father.I watched with disgust and annoyance as he paced, red in the face with anger and barking out orders to find her.“Dad.”“If you don't have any news about Lelia’s whereabout then I suggest you shut your fucking mouth.” he said without sparing me a glance.I'm more pissed than you old man.“We'll need to split up to cover more ground. There's no sign of them around here so I advice we search further into the forest.” I replied, barely keeping my anger in check.Dad stopped his pacing and stared at me strangely.“What?”“I find it strange that your mate ran away with another woman. His ex to be precise.”I gritted my teeth. A punch in his face won't go in my favor. Breath.“Your point?”He walked towards me, his eye cold.
