Sonaya's Pov"Naya..?" Omg he'd asked me something and I'd been too distracted by his looks to hear him." Uhm I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said." I said with pleading eyes.He smiled, a little red tinging his cheeks, I asked if you'll like me to show you around before we leave, for work?"" Nope, nooo Asaf, I will do the honors for Naya. Then you can bore her all day if you like. Toodles." Ziva said dragging me away from the attractive man.He was most likely in his early twenty's, I'd say very early twenty's.He was tall and filled out his uniform nicely.He looked like if there was royalty amongst the servant he was one of them."Hey hey Nayaaaa." Ziva called, forcing my attention back to her.Ziva sighed out a little bit irritated by my . .“I'm sorry Ziva." I quickly apologized"No need, he has that effect on a lot of the girls here.I don't have the time to do the entire tour with you this morni

Chapter 22: Sonaya's Pov...I screamed in excitement, and swam around the entire size of the pond.I examined all the plants, even put some in my hair. The water Lilies and the lotus were my favorites here, even though there were others that kept the peace beneath the ice-covered pond and made sure the bottom had a beautiful green and deep brown covering.But I couldn't stay, I had to get back to the real world.Even though this is my world.But reality meant facing what they had tried to do to me.Grandmother's wise words flashed through me, just as my anger swelled, taking over my joy and elation. "Do you know why Lockhart queens are almost always mated to the kings of Lygion?" Mama had asked me one day."Because the moon goddess made it so." I responded.“Technically you're right.But then it only makes sense for the most powerful women to be mated to the most powerful men.After the miserable

Stefan's pov... I stared at my image in the mirror. I looked like myself, confident, cool, unapproachable, aloof, etc. But I am not myself at all. I feel like I’m a fraud. It's the first time ever in my life, that I'll have this type of feeling. The last few days have been hot hell, especially the last two. I developed a serious itch on my left lower back, almost reaching the start of my b*tt. I'd thought it was an infection or something I had picked up somewhere. But yesterday, the itching almost drove me mad, I had scratched it so much, my claws breaking the skin, causing the area to bleed from the unfair irritation. By evening it had looked like a bad sore, all blotchy red with some swelling, blood and pus from my incessant scratching. But when I woke up this morning it was all gone, the sores, the itching, the bleeding gone, replaced by a siren mate mark. It would have been beautiful, if it wasn't forced. It looked like a scaly black tattoo, in the mirror, but it was v

Naya's pov ...."Rayna?" "Hmnn" I shivered slightly from her instant response, the feathery feeling of her in my head was still strange. It would take me a while to get accustomed to having a Lycan in my head. "This morning you said our mate was responsible for the blinding pain, how is he responsible ?" "That's the pain we feel when our mate takes pleasure from another woman, that isn't us. And it gets worse with time, our siren side makes the pain worse than it should be." "The other pain we feel that starts slowly, like a heartburn before spreading through to our chest, causing severe chest pain, and making it extremely painful to breathe, it happens when he is too far away from us. It's not one-sided, He feels it as well. But he ignores it, his pain threshold is very impressive. He is the king afterall. She finished. "Oh” I sighed as a disheartening feeling washed over me. “Thanks for the explanation Rayna, but we need to get to work." Ziva and Asaf were both waiting fo

Stefan's pov ....I tossed and turned almost feverishly."Lygion you have to stop this nonsense, right now!" I growled angrily at my Lycan."Oh really, show me one soul who was able to successfully turn off their bond. So they can tell us exactly what to do.Not that I want to give up my mate for any reason." He scoffed at me."You need to calm down, so we can get some sleep " I ordered and huffed, but they were all in vain.The heavy pounding in my head was relentless, the fever in my veins wouldn't abate.I looked a little pale and those closest to me have begun to notice.They are beginning to think that all might not be well with me.But it's the mate bond, every second, every minute, every hour, of everyday I stay away from her makes me sick.But instead of cowering to the pull, the whole thing just makes me angrier, it makes me hate her all the more. After the throwing her in the dungeo
