ARIAN’S POVMY wolf won’t let me be, I mean, he always bugs me, but since Devonne’s wolf woke up, he’s been reeking claws down the walls of my mind. Literally. I groaned again for the fourth time that hour. Three days, for fucks sake, I’ve been trying to drown him out for Three days, he’s managed to keep me from bedding anyone. Hurting anyone whom I take to my bed, he wouldn’t let me sleep. ‘You’re being a child, you don’t even want to get to know her’ he said “you’re being annoying” I growled back, sweating from resisting the urge to go to her. An hour later, I gave up and just went to her rooms, she seemed docile enough these days that I was sure she wasn’t going to try escaping again. I’m still not sure how she managed to evade the guard I’d sent with them to the mall the last time. When I opened the door to her chambers, I noticed the scent….. or lack of it. I swore. I forgot to lock the bathroom. Wherever she was, I’m pretty sure she hadn’t left the building. So I followed h

DEVONNE’S POVMy face was swollen for days, Two weeks later the bruises on my face had mostly faded. Apparently I couldn’t heal as fast as a normal wolf. Which sucked, but I’m over it. I didn’t spend two weeks idle, what happened in the training grounds was enough proof that I had become rusty. I wonder if I could even fire a gun with that razor sharp focus I used to have. I spent my mornings going through my own routines, spent the afternoons and evenings with Arian, either doing his weird breathing exercises or sparring. If anyone was wondering, No….he wasn’t head over heels for me yet and I still despised him. Sometimes I do wonder if we were really mates, maybe some twisted hand of fate had decided to play with us. I didn’t believe in fate though. If anything, I took my own fate into my hands the day my husband died. Oh Lucas. Anyways two weeks later I was brought into the training grounds again, with the same bait of being able to send a single email to whom ever I wanted. I

ARIAN’S POV SHE was finally awake and apparently was having issues staying on the ground, I found that incredibly amusing. I Hadn’t seen her though, I told Martha to tell her that we weren’t training today, I don’t think I can stomach seeing her in that ridiculous messy bun she always wears. I was taking a shower and Just thinking about it, I felt my body react and I hissed as I hardened. I palmed myself and thought of her lips, when I thought of how she bites them when she’s nervous, my cock jerked and I groaned. And her ass, fuck, I’ve always wondered what it would feel like if I held it, squeezed it. Maybe I’d bend her over in this very shower and fuck her from behind with all the anger I seem to have that she was the one fate had chosen to be my mate. Dirty thoughts concerning my mate pelted me f

DEVONNE’S POVARIAN seemed to be avoiding me all week, he didn’t show up at our training sessions, nothing, and short of going to knock on his door, I couldn’t find him anywhere. Funny considering he was always everywhere. But I hadn’t seen him since that day we went to the mall. I was just walking in the woods, going to that lake where I had shifted for the first time. Then the subject of my thoughts appeared. He looked awful, almost like he hadn’t slept all week. “Arian? You okay?”. When he looked at me, I almost gasped, his eyes were just blank and he just walked past me, not before I noticed his wrist though. I don’t know why it warmed my heart that he was wearing the watch I got him. What was wrong with him though? I made to follow him, but changed my mind and continued on my way. Things like that shouldn’t bother me. But that’s the thing , it did bother me,it bothered me that he looked haunted and tired, it bothered me that ……… before I could dwell on it any further, my phone

ARIAN’S POVWhen the pack doctor came in, he told me everything that I already knew. I wasn’t sleeping enough. He had asked me why, but I just told him to mind his business, even though I knew very well that he knew I had a mate I didn’t want to claim but I also was finding it difficult to reject. “Look, it’s either you accept her or reject her, there’s no in between” he said “Mind your own fucking business” I threw back. The pack house was empty save for me and Devonne, I didn’t even want to consider what could have happened if she weren’t there…. Now I owe her a debt, not just any, but a life debt. I went back to my room after the doctor left to find her still sleeping, I’d been avoiding her all week and she seemed to be spending a lot of time in the library. It’s something, for someone as rich and money minded as she was, she sure did like to read a lot of novels. I chuckled, my Luna is a novel lover. My Luna…. I started at the direction of my thoughts. Just then she stirred
