LOGINBenji's POVI was unraveling. And the bond? The bond was not helping. Not when I could faintly smell her.Only the faintest breeze of her scent drifted towards me, but it was enough to torture me. The longer I go without mating with her, the stronger her scent became.Should have had her placed in a room further away from me. Her scent was stroking me like a shy touch, and every time it happened, my knees nearly buckled.“Why couldn’t the Moon Goddess give me a mate who lived, I don’t know, TWO KINGDOMS AWAY?” I spoke loudly.Silo huffed inside me.‘She is perfect. Soft. Sweet. Ours.’A strangled sound left my throat. It might’ve been a whine. I’ll never admit that again.‘THIS,’ I snapped, pointing at my groin.‘Is EXACTLY why we can’t go near her.’‘CLAIM-‘‘I will put us BOTH in a cage,’ I growled.The wolf sulked. But, of course, after a short while of silence, Silo couldn’t resist.‘Claim her.’I slammed my fist down on the table hard enough that a stack of scrolls shifted.“I sw
Anastasia's POV"whats wrong?' I asked.I gently wiped the tear away and rested my hand along his face.“I was almost too late,” he said after a moment.“Ana, I almost lost you.” His voice broke.My throat tightened as I watched the love of my life, break down in front of me. I snuggled my face into his neck, and wrapped my arm around him, hoping it would bring him comfort.Instead of holding me back, he collected the fabrics of my nightgown at my hip. His body shook with every silent sob he made and all I could do was shower him with kisses.“It's okay, Dom. I'm right here.” I reassured."I'm here because of you."The look in his eyes were so vulnerable. So raw, I could see exactly how much he loved me.“I was so scared,” he said in between sobs.“ I’m- I’m still-” His sob, broke off his words and I quickly replaced them with a kiss.My heart felt spit between sadness and gratitude. I never believed that I could have this. A man who loved me this much. I was sure I would die in that
Anastasia’s POVHis words hurt. Hurt more than any words could. I had been crying all day uncontrollably. Dom did his best to try and soothe me, but not even his sweet words and projection of comfort, though our bond could call me. Amos even tried, but nothing could get me to stop crying.I was heartbroken. He said he would never accept my baby. Even called it an abomination. How could he say that to me? No matter how many times I tried to push his words out of my head, it just wouldn’t go away.And what hurt the most is that I could feel everything he was feeling. I could feel his fear, his anger, and even his regret. But even with all of those feelings, he still meant what he said. I could feel how much he meant them.“My love, you have to eat.” Dom spoke softly, and his hand gently massaged my shoulder.He was right. I did need to eat. For the baby's sake. I took a few deep breaths before I released the blanket I had been clutching to my face. Dom helped me sit up in the bed and ge
Aron's POV By the time we made it back to her house, my mind was consumed with everything I refused to say. She eased down onto her couch with a soft sigh while I I stayed standing. She watched me though narrow eyes. Looking just like mom. “Okay,” she broke the silence. “What's going on?” I couldn't find the words to say, so I didn't say anything. “Aron… please.” She pushed again, and suddenly, I was able to speak. “You’re pregnant.” She froze with her eyes wide. “You know,” she whispered. Of course I knew! What? Did she think I was stupid? Finally, I looked at her, like really looked at her. And my chest split open. She was my big sister. She was all I had left. And at that moment, it felt like everything was taking her away from me. And now she was carrying- “How could you,” I choked out. Her face flinched like I slapped her. “Aron-” “No!” I snapped, cutting her off. “You chose him, Ana! A Lycan! One of them! And now... and now you’re-” I couldn’t say
Cyrus'POV“Taken?” I asked, now curious.She nodded her head as she took in a deep breath.“On her 18th birthday, she disappeared. There was an attack in the coven as well, so we all assumed that she was among the many we lost that day.” Her eyes glistened as tears threatened to make an appearance.“We were shocked to see her resurface with your king. That’s when we found out that she was actually captured and held prisoner.”I kicked myself internally. Everything made sense now. I could never understand why Dom had been so patient with her. Why sh was so fierce one second and then timid the next.I was careless with in the beginning. I could only imagine how trapped she might have felt. And my coldness didn’t help.‘We will be better in the future.’ Xio announced.“My Luna has been through a lot it seems.” She looked at me with a mixture of sorrow and nodddd in agreement.“Your Luna, my High Priestess.” She smiled sweetly and nearly took my breath away.Aron’s POVI had to take a few
Dom's POVTheir bodies hung in full display. Exposed as a warning. Gasps erupted as the crowd took them in. Some growled while others fell to their knees in shame.Everyone’s eyes shifted to me once I stepped forward. The images of Ana only fulling the rage that simmered in my chest. I pushed my alpha aura out violently, letting it crash into everyone.The air around me trembled and every spine bent. Their heads lowered into submission. Amos surged forward, merging with me.“My Luna was attacked last night.”The square fell completely silent, and not one eye dared to look at me.“And she carries my heir.”A ripple of growls l, gasps, and whimpers spread through the crowd, but none dared to look at me.“I told you all what would happen if you disobeyed my order,” I roared, power cracking the stone beneath my feet.“And still, traitors and rogues dared to lay a hand on her.”I pushed my aura out with more force, so much so that everyone present bowed until their foreheads touched the ea
