Gideon POVAs much as I want to embrace my mate everytime I see her sad, I can't do it. I am afraid that my body and feelings will betray me and I will end up telling her that she's my mate and that I want her so badly that it is hurting.I no longer know if my decision of staying away was a good one or a punishment to myself and her.I don't miss joining them for breakfast so that I can get a glimpse of her beautiful face, the same face that has been haunting me at night for the past few days.I had grown so used to sleeping beside her that I was no longer able to sleep at night.The only thing occupying my mind is my mate.I am pretty sure that if I didn't get to at least see her twice a day, I would have gone nuts at this point. She's the only thing keeping my sanity together.There's not a moment I have not thought about going back to her and confessing everything to her but each time,I manage to hold back myself.My Beta Leo has been pressing me to tell him what happened between

When evening came, I decided to take a stroll and breathe in some fresh air. Samantha was delegated to attend a meeting at the fae kingdom and as much as I begged to accompany her, she said that she could not take me with her.With the rogues lurking around and on hunt for any females, she said I was better off in the castle where I could be protected.Although I was getting better in my training and I could take down two or three female Lycans, I was far from being able to defend myself if attacked. I did not press on the matter and decided to head to the west wing of the castle.The place was filled with flowers planted in gardens. I inhaled the sweet scent of the flowers as I let the evening breeze caress my skin.I couldn't help but let out a contented sigh. " Feels so good to be free." I murmured to myself only to hear someone chuckle behind me.I turned to look at the person and I saw it was Naver,the royal physician." Who would have thought that the king's Muse is fond of nat

Maya POVGideon did not come back. I heard from Briana that all the members of the council and royal warriors met to discuss about something immediately after Samantha came back from the fae kingdom.Brianna was the maid Gideon Instructed to accompany me anywhere I went. He gave her strict instructions to make sure she trailed behind me everywhere I went.The following day, I woke up early and prepared for training.I wore my training pants and left with Brianna. She is also a female warrior of the kingdom.Samantha did not join in the training. We trained all by ourselves. Even without their captain, the warriors did not slack off and organized themselves to train.We were in the middle of the training when a bunch of girls approached us.I heard Brianna groan looking at them, making me turn to look at the approaching girls. They were four and I recognized one of them as Adina, the very same girl who had a quarrel with Samantha." I swear I'll kick her ass If she dares create troubl

Gideon POVI left my mate's chamber after Leo interrupted our conversation. After getting tired of waiting for my mate to feel our bond, I became impatient and decided to ask her about her wolf. She was reluctant at first, more like scared to tell me but since I already approached the topic, I might as well push until she tells me about it.I could tell that she was uncomfortable with the topic but I really wanted to know what happened to her wolf since I could not sense her at all. Danger has tried connecting with her but comes out with nothing. It's like she doesn't have a wolf.But that's impossible, how can she not have a wolf when she said that she shifted on her eighteenth birthday and even recognized that bastard as her mate?Something must have gone wrong in between her birthday and the auction day and I was adamant to find out.I would never reject her because she doesn't have a wolf, I just wanted to understand what approach I will have to use to tell her that we are mates.

I pushed Gideon away. His words sounded unbelievable. Even a fool would not buy such a flimsy excuse. Why would he lie to me? And that over something so sensitive? Did he do all this to get into my skirt? But he didn't need to do that because mate or not,at this point I knew I could not stop myself from craving for him.He was like a drug I wanted so badly to cure my sexual tension. His presence affected me in ways even Logan never did. His touch aroused my deepest desires and all I could think of was riding his cock like a crazy bitch. Yes, that is what he makes me. A crazy bitch.Gideon's absence in my life was something I dreaded. It made me feel uncomfortable. I just want to stick to him like a pest and pester him to make love to me. I have been holding myself back, afraid that acting on my desires would hurt his mate.I Know how painful it is when your mate cheats on you. The pain is unbearable, it feels like a thousand ants gnawing on your skin.Logan used to make sure I feel th
