Mate!

*Abi POV*It’s early hours of the morning by the time Terrence comes over and Omario leaves. I feel sick the moment he is out of the door. This can’t be right. For a full hour, Terrence is just staring at me and it’s making me uncomfortable. Him and I are usually open with each other but right now it feels like we are strangers. “Say something, please,” I finally break the ice. He smiles when our eyes meet. “I am curious. How did you get him to finally leave your side?” he asks. “His fiancée is injured. I did not have to do anything.”Terrence chuckles, the way he usually does when he does not believe me. “You are a lot of things Abi, a good liar is not one of them.”I look at him and swallow my saliva. He is my best friend, I want to be honest with him but I don’t understand what’s happening to me right now. Maybe it’s gratitude. That happens to a lot of people, right?“How did you get him to go and see her?” Terrence asks again. “How did you get the horses to fight for you?”

Guilt

*Omario POV*It’s after one in the morning when I finally leave my chambers to visit Oli, because Abi just can’t let this go. I understand her intentions and it is the right thing for me to do, but I am already dreading meeting Brenda and going through Oli’s recent moods. Titan on the other side is furious with me for agreeing to leave. Him and I don’t seem to agree on anything at all lately. “Oli is our mate and she’s hurt.” I don’t know why I have to be the one reminding him of this. It is unfortunately, Brenda who opens the door. She’s so excited about me coming over while I am disgusted that she is here as my dad’s mistress. On top of that I have to forcefully suppress Titan who wants nothing less than to tear her apart. “Titan.”“She tried to cut Abi’s arm off.”Titan’s vendetta and everything really, revolves around Abi these days. “She’s dad’s concubine now, stand down if you want to see Abi again.” This, me threatening him with Abi every time I need him to comply is on it

Jealous

*Omario POV*It’s after five in the morning and I have not slept a wink. I am still in Oli’s bed because she is sleeping on my chest and I don’t want to wake her up, but my mind is not here. I know that Abi is okay. I can count on Terrence to take care of her, but I can’t help wanting to see that with my own eyes. This is fucked up. I and my mind should be here with my mate, not this. I look down to find Oli staring at me. Shit! I have been in my own world and did not notice that she was awake. Good thing she can’t read minds. “Morning, Rio.” The sweet melodic voice of my mate should bring my wondering mind back in line. Should is the keyword but it’s doesn’t. I smile and plant a kiss on her forehead. “You are miles away. Thinking about her?” she asks and I can see her breaking. I shake my head and lie through my teeth. “No, Babe. Thinking about our honeymoon actually.”Oli melts. It’s better than telling her the truth, right? I have no idea where we are going for the honeymoon

Coming out clean

*Omario POV*I am pacing up and down, fuming. I summoned Terrence three minutes ago, yet he is still not here. Some people have death wishes. He better not be busy claiming Abi because I will crush his neck. Just the thought of it gets my blood pumping. Mate or no mate, I have publicly claimed Abi, for him to do anything with her would be disrespectful and right now, I can’t tolerate that. “You are jealous,” my stupid wolf says. “Shut up, Titan.”“Your Majesty.”I have been lost in my head I did not even see Terrence approaching. “You are damn ….” I am ready to tear him apart but when I turn around and…I can’t. “What happened to you?” I ask. Anger completely replaced by concern. Terrence looks like shit, nothing like a man who just found his mate. “Abi is my mate.”I can’t quite read his tone when he says this. “I heard.”“She rejected me.”I hate myself for being relieved while he is so crushed. What the fuck?I recollect myself. Something does not make sense here. Abi would n

Trouble in paradise

*Omario POV*Titan immediately rushes to Abi’s side. He whimpers and whines while licking her face until it slowly gets colder in the room and Abi opens her eyes. Terrence narrows his eyes but keeps quiet and watches Abi and Titan. “Hey big boy,” Abi says while sitting up and hugging Titan but Titan gets off her grip. “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I must have tripped on my way to the bathroom,” she explains but Titan continues whining and circles around her as if inspecting her for something. “Hey, I am okay. I’m okay,” she urges.Titan eventually stops whining and rests his head on Abi’s lap. I swear I heard a low growl of pleasure when she ran her hand over his fur. I can’t believe this wolf!Terrence must have heard it too because he starts laughing while shaking his head. Whatever is happening now is just too intimate but either of them are aware of it.Abi turns her head to see who is laughing. “Terrence, I had no idea you were in here,” she says but her hand cont

Chores

*Abi POV*I feel like screaming my lungs out the moment Omario leaves me, but my lungs feel like they have been punched really hard. I pant continuously to force the air into my lungs because I can’t breathe. What did you expect Abi? He is the prince for heaven’s sake!No amount of scolding myself makes the dull aching pain in my heart better. A few days ago, Omario was a hot, kind and engaged prince, who was helping me. I did not even think of him as anything more, but that kiss and those videos he made me watch and commanded that I think of him like that, sent my mind to places I did not even know existed. Now being told that Terrence is my mate seems to have turned a screw in my head I can’t undo. I am still bathing in self pity when I get summoned by Brenda. I drag myself out of the bed to her wing in the castle. Alpha Theo is laying lazily on the couch in the lounge when I arrive. “My number one enemy,” he sneers and a slap lands on my left cheek. I turn to find Brenda glarin

Vulnerable

*Omario POV*Titan increases pace and climbs up the hill against the wind. This is harder against the resists but Terrence accepts the challenge and is right behind him, but Loyd is left a few meters away. He is gonna have to train harder to keep up because I don’t suppose this pace is going to slow down in the future. Titan is right on the top of the hill when the feeling starts and he turns right back, almost crushing into Terrence. “This woman can’t stay safe for a minute!” I complain to Titan“We are meant to protect her and here we are,” Titan responds. I don’t know why I expected anything else from him. “Whoa!” Terrence exclaims leaping over Titan and turning around in a spectacular spin. So smooth!“Whats going on?” Loyd asks when we dash past him again. “Dashing off to save your mate?” Terrence links. This is not supposed to happen. He is in my head and completely shut Loyd out. Rufus can look into souls and read minds, but not this.“Stop reading me, and get out of my he

Infectious

*Abi POV* Brenda’s dogs turn out to be adorable darlings. I was sure that they will tear me into pieces when they ran towards me, but all they did is lick the blood I spit on the floor and wang their cute tails, like Titan does when he wants to play. It turns out that they actually like playing and being bathed too. I think I am a dog person because after twenty minutes I don’t mind when they grab my feet or arms. I am not terrified of these supposedly vicious dogs. A few giggles and running around, I have forgotten about Omario and the dull pain that still lingers on my chest. I am still playing with the dogs and they are pulling me into different directions when Omario matches in. Olivia and Loyd stand on the other side of the gate and watch us. “Abi, do you have any idea how… what are you doing here?” Omario yells with his whole face trembling. I look at him, confused. He looks very angry for some reason. I have never seen him like this. “Answer me! Do you have any idea how stu

Mission accomplished

*Omario POV*Abi is exhausted and drifts off to sleep immediately after her bath. I would be exhausted too if I had to do all the chores she did today. One thing is clear, Titan was right that I need to get her out of here. I tried my best but I can’t protect her. There are just too many people to look out for now and I can’t be with her every minute of the day. I also can’t keep her in my chambers like a prisoner. There’s also the part of me that seems to have a brain of its own. Like how the fuck did I end up bathing her? What happened to the self control I prided myself of?I watch her sleep, so thin, persecuted, yet so peaceful. I am so glad that we have talked and the weird pain on my chest is gone. I, however can’t explain a lot of things anymore. I don’t even know what I know now. I need to speak to my mother about the mate bond, but first I need to set Oli straight. She and Loyd are sitting in the balcony when I arrive. “Rio. I am sorry for the way I reacted earlier. I..” O

Scary and amazing

*Omario POV*“But….” Brenda tries to object. The witch still wants Abi to serve her, but she does not complete her sentence because dad is suddenly on the couch, crouching in pain.Mother must be doing the deed. This bond is something else. “Are you okay dad?” I keep a straight face and feign concern. This is another reason I came here. He turns to different directions as if trying to find a comfortable spot. His facial expression reflects the pain he is in, with sweat dripping down his brow.“Nala… fuck!” he curses and winces. I frown and do my best to keep a straight face. Dad is now holding his chest, then his tummy before getting up and taking a few steps towards the door. “Take a seat, Dad. I will get the physician.”“No, take me to Nala.”I look at him with a confused expression, but he does not explain himself. “You are not okay, Dad. Please take a seat,”I plead like a concerned son. Brenda rushes to his side and tugs on his shirt. “Omario is right. Take a seat and let th
