Elijah's POV

Even though Maria had sworn that she wasn't hurt and didn't want to have anything to do with Nathan, I still couldn't help but feel that she wasn't being honest. Elizabeth's betrayal didn't help matters and no matter how much I tried not to think about her as dirty, my mind kept going back to her reassuring words as she convinced a mere guard to have sex with her.

"How am I sure you still have no hand in this? I mean the girls are not talking to me anymore but somehow they are still cool with you even though we are friends?" Nathan said and I shook my head, pulling myself back to the conversation that had made me drift in the first place.

"Look, Nathan, I am not a child. I told you that you were an adult and you could make whatever choice you see fit" I told him as I continued to sip my drink.

"I know you heard my sister that night, I'm not telling her anything because I respect you both to know what is best for you two." He said and I looked at him, wondering what th

  • Veil Of Destiny   71: Undisclosed

    Elizabeth's POVMy legs shook unsteadily as I made my way to Nathan's chambers. This wasn't good. Elijah had caught me with the boy servant. I knew that our relationship was over, but I needed every edge I could hold on to—something that would keep me here. "Why do you look like that?" Nathan asked as soon as our eyes met. "He caught me with the boy; our plan is over," I said, hoping that I could use what I knew he wanted most to get him to do one favor for me. "I told you from the beginning that it was a dumb idea, he already doesn't like you and you are doing everything possible to make sure he hates you more. That man practically wants you gone and he wants me to take you with me. Which is actually him being generous as opposed to having you disgraced out of the palace" he said and my body shivered at the possibility of that. "But you know if I leave, your one chance at being the Alpha is taken back to point zero. I just need you to get me in and I will handle the rest" I said

  • Veil Of Destiny   69: The Bond of No Return

    Leo's POV The dreams were becoming a daily occurrence now, every night, I was plagued by the awareness that there was something out there whose destiny was to kill me. Getting a seer had not helped too as the only thing it had done was to increase my anxiety. Bravery was a fallacy when you didn't know what exactly was coming for you. I paced on my balcony, a place that has become my solace in the past few days. Sophia was continuously nagging me about what the seer had said but I couldn't tell her, I didn't feel the need to let her know the inner turmoil that was going on inside of me. The council has spoken to me about the curb of attacks caused by the ghost hunters. It was a relief, a bright light in the darkness that has enshrined me in its cocoon since the nightmares began. Each time, I worked up enough courage to fight the silver wolf, it defeated me like I was nothing, rendering me powerless with wounds like a common soldier in battle. The fear I felt each time deepened by th

  • Veil Of Destiny   68: On the borderline

    Maria's POV "You forgive me?" I asked Elvira as she stood in front of my house. "You are a donkey, but I have come to see your point. I mean you are simply pregnant and do not want to have anything to do with this men" she said and hugged me. I pulled her in and together we sat on the floor of the living room, she drank wine while I had the orange juice that Alexia had pressed for me before she left. "Alexia has found her mate," I said and Elvira whipped her head up to meet my gaze. "You can't even be serious. There's no way that she could have. She is probably being deceived" she said and I laughed. "I'm serious, I mean, the only reason she is not around is because she has to meet with him. She spoke to me about it earlier today. I have her the time off. I understand how the mating bond can be" I said and Elvira looked genuinely horrified. "Alexia is less than the mating span and today is not even the full moon, there is absolutely no way she would have found her mate yet," El

  • Veil Of Destiny   67: A Quiet War

    Elijah's POV "What the bloody hell man? That's her maid. Do you not have a bit of self-control in you anymore?" I bellowed at Nathan as he stood there smirking satisfactorily at me. "She wanted even more than I did, and I mean, the lad isn't a kid. She knew what she wanted and she came right for it." He said to me, not a single trace of remorse in his voice. "And you couldn't say no? What if Maria actually liked you? Have you considered what this would mean? Because that girl told Maria that she had found her mate, happily announced it to her and I was right there" I said, dragging a tired hand through my hair."Why are you so upset about what a maid does? Don't tell me that you also wanted the same thing I did. Alexia carried the rich scent of Maria with her and forgive me, I couldn't resist that sweet scent, no matter how forbidden it is" he said and sat down right in front of me, his eyes glued to mine as if daring me to see what I would do. "You don't love her at all. You are

  • Veil Of Destiny   66: Vivid Images

    Maria's POV "Leo, you found me?" I gasped, seeing the crazy image of the man I had tried so hard to run away from and forget in the past few months. "Did you really think that I never will?" He asked me, his eyes enraged as I saw that the only thing standing between me and my death was the few feet that he stood away from me. "Stay away from me!" I yelled and kicked furiously as he lunged for me. "Why should I? You have something that belongs to me" he said as his callused hands caressed my stomach. I flinched and tried to move away from him but he grabbed my head, throwing me roughly on the wall, not minding the condition that I was in. "You are going to kill me!" I yelled at him, willing myself to fight back but I saw the blood running down my legs. I held my stomach to feel for anything at all but there was nothing and Leo didn't look like he had the intention of ending the hurt he was causing me anytime soon."But if I don't, you will," he said and lunged for my neck. I was
