MasukAuthor’s POVThe silence in the room was heavy with tension. The elders rubbed their hands restlessly as they stared at their files. Only a few remained that hadn’t checked it. Their hearts pounded so loud that everyone in the room could hear it and it wouldn’t be surprising if the people outside could as well. Dominic didn’t need to say another word, he simply waited. He knew they would do as asked, they wouldn’t wait for him to make another announcement. He would patiently wait for them to say what needed to be said. He relaxed against the head rest of the seat and dropped his hands on the table – a statement they all understood perfectly. Elder Eldric was the first council member to stand up. He had his hands tucked behind him and unable to meet anyone’s eyes. Dominic didn’t care for the shame that he felt. It was enough that he wasn’t doing it in front of the whole kingdom, he would have been shamed forever. He stepped back from the table and out of the chair.The next elder tha
Author’s POVDominic stared at his phone, there was nothing new from Keisha. His beta had gone back to the house n the mountains to search for himself after Elas didn’t find anything and nothing had changed. They searched thoroughly but the house was in the clear. There was no hideout, no hidden vaults, no hidden cupboards that led somewhere.It frustrated Dominic, this wasn’t what he had set out and planned for if she had been in that house the entire time then there had to be something to indicate it. None of his guards had seen anyone go in, unless they were lying. He had interviewed all of them, their hearts were steady, no lies. That left one option – somehow they had used a secret entrance to get in. He called Keisha again, “Anything new exactly?” the question was useless. He already knew the answer and of course, Kesha’s reply didn’t shock him. “Nothing new Alpha, there’s been no discoveries, everything is just as Elias said it would be” he sighed. “I’m beginning to think it’
Author's POV From where he stood, he could see them perfectly. Despite the dark room, they were bathed under the light. Both Dominic and her, seated there - royalty and of course regal. There was something about them both. He couldn't look away. The distance didn't stop him from seeing the ring that shone on her fingers. In fact, it emphasized it. It wasn't exactly huge but it was quite obvious. Even as she stood up from the table, it shone brighter under the lights. His hands found his phone. He rubbed the screen tenderly as he knew the power that it held. The small but obvious button to the left of the screen. If he simply touched it, it would be enough of a signal for what was to happen to begin. There was an undeniable itch in him to do it. He wanted to tap it and begin the countdown but it wasn't yet time. Everything had to align perfectly. Already it had begun to come together. He had predicted this proposal. If it continued just as he had planned out, Dominic would be on h
Author's POV Sage's heart raced, her mouth had fallen open and she had been rendered speechless. Her hands curled beside her and uncurled as she tried to make sense of what was happening. She looked at him and around her. Dominic stared on, his heart in his chest. He shifted from one foot to another as he waited for a response. A part of him expected a refusal but that hot burning connection burned even hotter. She opened her mouth, hesitant and then closed it again. The words were there, she could feel them forming. She had questions, doubts, so many things to say but none of them were there. Already, her answer was ready. “Yes" the words came out as a whisper. Dominic didn't move, his eyes had fallen to her lips as he waited for her to speak. He saw the movement long before he heard the words. He could feel his body physically light up, his back was straight and his eyes went back to meet hers again. "What did you say?” He needed to confirm. Sage inhaled a deep breath, her eye
Chapter 149Author's POV Dominic glanced over at Sage before he spoke. He just needed to make sure she was comfortable first. He had cleared the table of any and all wine. Just so she didn't mistakenly ingest it. He knew of it's dangers. “This is my mate, Sage," he said to the other three people. Louis, the person who wanted to make partner, stretched his hands towards Sage, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you after hearing so much. I am Louis.” He smiled at her with what he hoped was a warm and welcoming smile. She nodded, taking his hands and quickly releasing it. “Nice to meet you" The woman stepped forward and to Sage's surprise, she pulled her into a hug. “I'm Jasmine, his wife" she gestured towards Louis after she released Sage from the hug. Sage looked at the woman closely and with a smile nodded, “It's nice to meet you as well" Jasmine wasn't done, “He's refused to conduct any meetings without your return and I have to say it was indeed a miraculous one. We're all glad
Author's POV The car ride was silent. It wasn't the uncomfortable type, in fact they both enjoyed it. Both of them sat on opposite sides of the limousine. Dominic enjoyed it because he got to stare at her for as long as he wanted. Sage shifted in her seat. She could feel Dominic's eyes on her and it made her self conscious. She fixed her dress several times, pulling it down a little to cover her thighs. A part of her wondered if he really liked how she looked. Their eyes met but just then, the car came to a stop. The first thing they both noticed was the sound outside the car. They looked to see that it was the media. All cameras had turned them and already microphones were being shoved towards the car.Sage took a deep breath of shock. She hadn't expected this at all. She looked at Dominic and back outside, panic rising in her chest. One thing she hated was the media. The questions they asked, the way they didn't respect any answers. Dominic inhaled sharply. He had tried his har
