Not only does my mate want to try with me, but Kai and Konstantin have found Lilith alive. Barely hanging on with what she has been through, but still alive nonetheless. Umiko holds on to my every word as I recall my relationship with Lilith over the years and why I let her go. She knows about prophecies all too well; apparently, it is why her father sent her to me. He had a dream about Umiko and me being married.This little bit of news actually pisses me off; I’ll have to file it away and look into it at a later stage. The fact that Kaen was given insight into what would happen between his daughter and me doesn’t sit well with me.After a comfortable breakfast with her, I take her to the hair appointment at 10 am, but my phone rings again before I can drop her off. This time it’s Gabriel Priest.“Priest,”“Fenriz, glad I caught you,” he says in an odd, broken voice, and I frown. “Are you free to talk?”“I am for a few minutes; what’s the problem?” I ask and gesture for Umiko to giv

I am on my third day watching Fenriz working, and I have to say that each day is different from the next. Not only when it comes to his business dealings but problems with the pack as well. We’re in his office at the moment because right now, there seems to be a scuffle between two Omegas; one has said that a certain she-wolf is his mate, while the other states that he claimed her already. Fenriz says he doesn’t usually deal with infighting like this, but the female is from a prominent family within the pack, so he has to be the one to sort it out.“Carina, you need to explain this to me. Both of them cannot be lying about this,” Fenriz says, leaning against his desk while the three of them are standing in front of him. I am sitting in his chair and watching the entire thing.The girl, Carina, shakes her head. “I don’t understand it either, Alpha; I had mated with both of them and felt the Mate Bond Anchor when they claimed me. But surely the Goddess could not have mated me to two?”

After two weeks of spending time with Fenriz, I already feel like I’ve fallen in love with him. I know it sounds silly, given the person he is, but I cannot help the way I feel. He may be a dangerous Lycan, but he treats me like a queen. He makes me smile and laugh until I can’t breathe, and when he tells me about his past, he leaves nothing out, not even the bloody parts.My trust in him is growing, whereas my faith in Ahmya is fading. She hasn’t spoken to me for the last two weeks, not even when I call her, but I can feel her anger building. It is the reason why I told Fenriz that I won’t be tagging along with him for the next week, that I need to train with my fox. He looked ruffled by it, but he said it should be okay since he had no big meetings scheduled.So here I am, sitting in the garden and trying to converse with my fox before her anger explodes and everyone gets caught in the fallout./“Ahmya, please talk to me,”/ I start, and even though I sense her, I do not see her. /“

I watch my parents drive away, and the gravity of what I had just agreed to hits me. My mother wants me to have a child with Fenriz before she dies, and I fully agreed to it without even thinking it over.What in the world made me say yes? What made me want to make my mother happy even though she never cared about my happiness? Not only that, but I agreed to it without Fenriz even saying it's okay!“Umiko,” his voice cuts through my panicked thoughts, and my head snaps towards him. He walks over to me with his hands in the pockets of his slacks and smiles slightly. “Are you okay?”I don’t know why it happened, but as soon as he asked me this, it was as if a floodgate opened, and I just broke down in tears. He wraps his arms around me in a warm embrace and simply holds me close while I let out whatever is pent up inside of me.Hurt, anger, disappointment, and sadness - everything that little girl felt while trapped in her childhood home without any help from her siblings or mother. I j

My heart is still pounding when Fenriz picks me up in his arms and carries me over to the shower. A few minutes ago, I almost lost my life when dumb luck and stupid courage saved me. I’m just happy that I’ve been training with Ahmya; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to conjure my tails or strength. After placing me on the tiled floor, Fenriz regulates the water, then turns to me. He puts one hand on my hip and the other on the back of my neck as he peers down at me.“Are you sure you’re ready? We don’t have to do this simply because your mother asked for a grandchild; we can wait until you’re ready,” he says, stroking my cheek gently with the pad of his thumb.I shake my head. “I want this; I want you,” I say while blushing and Fenriz nods before leaning down to claim my mouth with a fierce kiss. I wrap my arms around him to return the embrace and absolutely love the feeling of his skin on mine. His body is all muscle, yet I still mold myself into him. I close my eyes when he ki
