***** "As long as you can make him pay." I bravely said between my cries. A playful grin appeared on his lips, amused by my pain. He was the devil, but I didn't care. It was a risk I was ready to take. "Anything, including giving yourself to the devil." He chirped That should have been a warning telling me to turn back, but instead, I nodded at him. "Only a devil can handle another devil." His grin grew wider, a laugh escaping his lips. Those evil lips parted, and each word left me more dumbfounded: "For starters, strip right here and now." My mouth fell agape taken back by his request. It was beyond my expectations; I was still lost in a dilemma when the devil spoke again. "I don't have all day, Mrs Romanov."

View MoreVIKTOR'S POV In all my years, I have never seen Mikhail in a condition like this. It almost made me laugh, the brother I was raised to hate. The one who never showed any weakness could be forced into a situation like this because of a little girl.. Adelina was dumbfounded by the course of events. I stood firm in front of Mikhail and my stance refused to waver. "What is the meaning of this?!" Mother barked, or rather, I would say Elena. I stopped seeing her as my mother ages ago. She probably didn't see me as her son, just a loyal dog. I didn't answer her, but I linked to Mikhail. "Can you still stand up, Your royal majesty?" I taunted him. Mikhail scoffed, his teeth gritting as he managed to get on his feet. Duncan groaned, "You didn't raise your son properly. " He sneered through a mindlink then lunged at us. He was a powerful Lycan, a former alpha with more experience. I stood protectively before Mikhail shielding him from danger while he struggled
ADELINA'S POV The storm roared above, but it was nothing compared to the chaos beneath it. His sharp gold eyes were staring intently at me. I didn't know what was going on in his mind since he was in his wolf form, not that it mattered. Viktor stood before me with his teeth gritting at Mikhail. He was seething in fury ready to attack at any moment. Mikhail growled, his eyes filled with fury. I raised my hand, then clenched it. I had gone too far already to give up now. He brought this on himself, I reminded myself. "Shift," I commanded, putting in my all. A scream erupted, a groan of pain. It wasn't Mikhail of course. It was the other wolf with him, whom I assumed was Raphael. He howled, falling to his knees just like the others, his body started to forcibly shift back to his human form. Infuriated, Mikhail rushed towards me, lunging at his full strength. Viktor got into action immediately and tackled him down, then Lawrence, who wasn't far off, charged in
ADELINA'S POV The rain thundered through the sky. That stench of sweat and blood filled the air it was almost sickening I had a perfect smile on my face. His blue eyes were staring straight at me, shock, fear and guilt. I didn't look away. I wanted to savour the moment when he realises his weak human mate can take on his perfect army. My mind drifted to a few hours ago, after I was informed about the attack plan. "We will be leaving soon," Elena chimed, she had a proud smile on her face. In her eyes, I looked like her most prized possession. The former queen approached me, then held my hand. Her hold made my skin crawl, I bit my inner cheeks to hide the disgust I felt. "Without you, this day would never have been possible. You ceased your own destiny, Adel." She praised me. Her hand then cupped my cheeks. "I am only holding my own end of the bargain. Just keep yours." For the first time, I didn't feel like a prisoner but someone with bargaining p
MIKHAIL'S POV I wasn't expecting much by going to Adel's room yesterday. Her sharp witty rejection was exactly how I imagined. Adelina Marino was more than what met the eye. She looked more brave and confident now but she was blindly letting herself be a pawn. Her hatred for me was just one of the many reasons she was like this. This was the exact reason why I wanted to keep her hidden from all these. Her naivety, she was a protected princess her entire life.In the end, they got to her. My eyes strayed to an old portrait on my desk, and something caught my attention. An old picture of 5. A family portrait I didn't know why I still kept it after all these years. My hands reached out for the frame, pulling it closer. Viktor was smiling in the picture. It's been ages since he smiled next to me.. This was taken before we turned enemies because of rivalry. A loud knock on the door drew me out of my thoughts. Even without the person announcing his pre
ADELINA'S POV My brows furrowed, and those annoying sparks rushed to my cheeks. It was gentle, a thumb was rubbing my cheeks patiently Annoyed, I turned to the other side, my entire body was still very exhausted, and all I wanted to do was sleep. Then something soft and wet touched my forehead. The strong jolts of sparks forced me to open my eyes. I wished I had kept them closed. My heart jumped, shock evident in my saucer wide. Eyes. It wasn't a dream or a nightmare. Mikhail was on my bed looking at me with a tender gaze. I blinked twice to be sure I wasn't seeing things. It was still those blue eyes which made me weak to the knees. That perfect sculpture face I effortlessly fell for. The man I was claimed to be mated with. The same one who never truly accepted. "Mikhail," I gasped then hurriedly sat up. My eyes darted around the room, and indeed it was my room in Viktor's stronghold. The windows were closed, but I could still peek outside
ADELINA'S POV She smiled sweetly at me, and the resemblance between us always leaves me dumbfounded. "You will have a chance to escape very soon but the question is if you want to." She chimed. I laughed at her words, finding them ridiculous. If I get a chance to escape I would jump at it without thinking twice. I wanted to get away from all this chaos. Somewhere none of these brothers could find me. I didn't really care about revenge. I hated them, but dear little Adelina was just a puppet in their hands. A human in a den of wolves. They were all predators. The only joy I had from this was that at least I would make Mikhail suffer. "I would run on the slightest chance I have. " I snickered. Her smile grew, "You won't. Your fate lies here." She answered, her words still as ambiguous as ever. I shook my head, dismissing her, then closed my eyes and took a deep breath, enjoying the peace. I knew once I woke up it would be another round of training. My eyes shot open,
