Soma’s POVAfter everything from yesterday, I decided to take a long bath. I was afraid they were going to make me leave Oliver, I was more afraid that they would force us to reject each other. Yeah, we haven't been together that long, but I’m in love with him and I cannot see myself with anyone else. I was hoping this was just a dream, but I knew it wasn't.“Soma?” Oliver called from the other side of the door.“You can come in if you want,” I called back. “I am soaking in the tub thinking about when the Council decides they want to come and force us apart.”“It might not work out that way, we have to be willing to try to understand why they want certain things, we just have to be smart how we act. They might want a reaction out of us, we cannot give it to them. We have to be smart.” he said cracking the door open. “But when you’re done we should have some breakfast, I know I’m starving.”“Oh alright, I’ll be downstairs in a few minutes.” I smiled at him.He closed the door, I draine

Nick’s POVFlying back into New York was the best thing for me. I haven't talked to Soma in a while, and I know she is probably going crazy wondering what the hell happened to me. I didn’t want to tell her that I was going to London because they were coming for her, but I did want her to know things weren’t as great as I thought they would be. I was hoping she and Oliver made more of a pack and they were in love. I didn’t want to lose my best friend to the fake Lycan King. He was already pissing me off to the end, but I wasn't strong enough to kill him myself. Many have tried and he made them die a slow and painful death. Don’t get me wrong Soma is worth the death but she would just be forced into things anyways whether I was dead or not.Pulling out my phone, I turned it on. There were several messages from Soma asking where I was, I felt bad about ignoring her but I couldn’t let her distract me when I went against Gideon. Gideon wasn't too happy, and I knew he was going to send some

Lycan King Gideon’s POVHaving information on Soma, I knew she would be convinced of our kind. Nick was doing a good job and I had faith he was going to ensure she rejected her mate. I needed her to reject him so I can take her as Queen. She will rule beside me and we will have pups and build an army big enough to rule the whole world. All the supernaturals will bow down to us, we will be united as one.I wanted to show Soma a real man, she didn’t have to love me. I didn’t need love, I had myself. But I needed her for babies, I needed as many as I could get out of here before it killed her. I couldn’t wait to show her father that she was the new slave whore and he had to take care of her when I break her down.My dick was hard enough just thinking about her. Her body was on my bed, so willingly wanting me. I would give her the best sex anyone could ask for, that way I didn’t have to force her to do anything. She will understand our way of life soon enough. If she resisted I will do any

Soma’s POVHaving a Councilman standing in front of me, I wasn't sure how to feel about him. Part of me wanted to attack him and tell him that I knew how to live my life, the other part of me wanted to run and hide as fast as I could. I didn’t know what would happen now, the man was standing staring at both Oliver and me.“Shall we shit?” Oliver suggested.“No need,” Jericho spoke looking at me. “I am here to ensure you two do not fight this and come with us willingly. I don’t want to have to use anything but I will if I have to,” he warned. “Now are you two willingly coming with the Council or do we need to place you under arrest?” he said looking at Oliver.“We’re not here to fight,” I said before Oliver could. “My mate and I have come to an agreement we will do as you ask, but we will speak at the hearing.”“Fine.” he snapped. “You have ten minutes to get back together and to say goodbye. These things are like custody, you win some and you lose some,” he growled. “So I will be out

Lycan King Gideon’s POVToday was the day that I would get my Princess. I couldn’t wait to meet her in person, I bet she is beautiful. I just hoped she understands she belongs to me and there wasn't anyone in the world that would stop us from being together. She would give me what I want or I will take it from her, I didn’t care, it was all about me.I pulled out my phone and dialed Nick.“What?” Nick growled into the phone.“Where is your respect?” I snapped at him. “Look today is the day Soma will be coming back to our lands, and I expect you to be there when they announce her and then you will come with us home.” I snapped at him. “I don’t want any problems, and if you or her give me any I will punish you for it.”“Look I know what I need to do,” Nick said sounding annoyed. “It’s not going to be easy for her, and you have to realize her mate is here too.”“If her mate even looks at me wrong I will ensure he dies in front of her you got that?” I snapped. “I don’t want problems even
