Liam's POVAndre shut the door to my study with his hands over his mouth as he stared at me in shock."Swallow it," I turn away from him and head to where a bottle of scotch sat. I poured myself a drink and brought the glass to my lips, emptying the content in my mouth.Even after tasting the blood of trespassers-- If I could remember correctly, I bit one's head off-- I still wanted something down my throat."My Queen?" I mumbled to myself, tasting the word and shaking my head. "Did you, by any chance, smell the mate bond on her-""I apologise, my King. I was overjoyed when she said that," he placed his hands over his crotch area and lowered his head.He was much calmer now than when he blurted that out."But, was she telling the truth?""Oh, I see. We're acting rationally now, are we?" I cocked a brow and folded my arms. Andre looked away. He was most definitely feeling ashamed of his actions."Forgive me, my King. I let my emotions get the better of me," he apologised once again but

Liam's POV"Please, let me leave," she said again with a broken voice this time. She sounded close to tears.Her head was still lowered and her shoulders trembled softly. Was this fear directed at me or was she cooking up something in her head? If there was one thing I knew about women, thanks to Emma, it was that they were constantly assuming and making up scenarios in their head.This one before me was no different. Only that I didn't feel a certain way with the way she cried. The mate pull was stronger especially with her scent in the air.Was she trying to tempt me? She would have to work a lot harder than that to actually make me feel something more."Are you in your head again?" I wondered aloud and saw as she stiffened. "For a second there you make it seem as though I want you to stay." I folded my arms.For saying such bold and cold words in a nonchalant way, my wolf wasn't feeling the same way. He whined and paced in my head. Her scent was killing him but at least one of us w

Aurelia's POVI looked outside the window - something I've been doing constantly for a week now.The sun was out today and it seemed like a good time to let my wolf out and receive some of that Vitamin D but all I could do was stare with hunger in my eyes, envying the grass, the trees and pretty much anything that wasn't confined to the four walls of the room I was placed in.In exchange for shelter, good food and clothes, I had to give up my freedom. Oh and also in exchange for being kept away from Norton's reach. I guess that was all that mattered yet it felt like I had just wandered from one confined space to another.At least, the King didn't give me any chores- at this point, I think I would have preferred that. Anything to just step out to breathe in fresh air. The windows were opened so I guess that was a plus-"Oh Aurelia," I sighed and palmed my head. "You poor thing!" I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself.Pushing me aside, my wolf was still coping with the thought of h

Liam's POVOne week has passed already yet it felt more like two.Her scent was registered in my subconsciousness and even worse, it dared to hunt my dreams.What was it that book said again? Oh! Something about an intense dream."That's not specific enough," I muttered to myself as I stared at my ceiling with lazy eyes and my arms spread apart.On such a fine morning, my body still begged for a little bit of rest.Actually my body just didn't want to rest. It craved something much more intense with that woman. Hot raunchy sex especially in this cold weather that's been prevalent in the city.Whenever I closed my eyes, the next thing that popped up was her face.I've been having lucid dreams for a week now, each one more intense than the last that I'd wake up panting and asking for more.I flexed my hands and recalled the latest dream; she was underneath me, staring at me with nothing but lust evident in those black orbs. Her lips were slightly parted and her desire for me to touch he

Aurelia's POVMy eyes fluttered open and I stared at the ceiling. I couldn't move a muscle as it felt like my arms and legs were heavy.How long did I sleep? I wondered as I laid there still, trying to gather my strength. It would be another boring day with me, myself and I just staring out the window..."Hmm?" I frowned at the little memory that waltzed into my head.I had a strange dream where the Beta came for questioning and I begged him to let me go out.He gave in after dishing out a series of warnings enough to make my head pound."What a nice expensive dream," I sighed before sitting up in bed."Dream," I mumbled under my breath. My eyes widened as the memories slammed me from left to right.That wasn't any dream."Oh my goodness!" I covered my eyes with my hand, ashamed as my actions suddenly rushed back to me."I'm so dead-""It's a good thing you know-"I raised her chin at the gruff voice and my heart almost stopped when I saw the King sitting next to my window with his ey
