Damon's POV.Lady Melody looked more relaxed than I would ever love to admit since I had known her and it was wonderful how she seemed like a genuinely good person who didn't have any problems admitting that she had the wrong perception about a person before coming closer. "You mean that no one has ever seen you walking with any man in the Kingdom?" I queried when we started speaking about our pasts. It was beautiful and I couldn't even comprehend that for such a person who wielded so much authority she never stepped out of line with any man. It gave me hope that I had found the woman after my heart but the only issue was making her see that I was worthy enough for her love. "Of course, yes, what do you even take me for?" She asked in an affronted manner, before shrugging, "definitely not much based on your accusations." She laughed. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, causing a halo to form on them and I couldn't help but be intrigued by her very existence. It seemed like she

Isabella looked around watching the true love birds go on with their discussion and she couldn't help but be jealous that this Layla's look alike was still enjoying even behind her back after everything that had been done to make sure that she was never reminded of that woman, it turned out to be fruitless. Food becomes tasteless even though she believes that it was because of the anger she felt inside of her that made it to be that way. She grows even more uncomfortable because then she realizes that there is a lot more than she was willing to really work with and that puts her at a huge disadvantage. She doesn't bother about anything else, instead she tries to eat so that she doesn't lose her appetite completely. Asher walks into the room and gazes around, demanding that she strips naked and that they have one round of intercourse before the program begins. She tries to resist him but remembers that he wasn't here to joke with anyone, instead she obeys his commands, refusing to

Asher’s POVI sounded sharper than I had intended to, transferring the frustration to her. Her eyes widened but her lips remained glued together.I took steps closer, closing the distance between us. It was the day I was to get married to Isabelle and yet all I could think of was how much I wanted another woman. The same woman who now stood inches away, feet planted on the ground.‘’Were you eavesdropping on us?’’ I asked, teasing her ears.Her lashes fluttered and color rose in her cheeks. ‘’Alpha,’’ she began. ‘’I -‘’Go on, Lady Melody. You are always quick to call me on my bullshit, but you and I are just the same, aren’t we?’’I wanted to call her Layla. To see her flustered, and confirm for a fact that she was the one.‘’You shouldn’t speak to me in that tone,’’ she said, finding her voice. ‘’And it’s Luna now.’’I let out a dark laughter. ‘’Luna.’’ Then I walked away to get a strong drink. I really had to remember she was now my cousin’s wife. ‘’So what do you want here, Luna?’

Asher’s POVThe chamber was filled with fragrances in preparation for the mating night. Roses and candlewax. Isabella sat at the edge of the bed, her gown falling slightly off her shoulders, exposing her tender skin. She looked at me as I walked in, and I knew what was in her mind. She was still upset about how the ceremony had gone.I pulled off my coat and hung it on the stand. Then I emptied the remaining wine in the bottle and finished it in a single gulp.‘’You didn’t mark me.’’ Her voice cut through the fog in my head.I dropped the cup with a loud thud. ‘’Watch your tone with me,’’ I sneered.She continued defiantly. ‘’You humiliated me in front of the pack, Asher. Your wolf did not accept me.’’ She stood up. ‘’Do you think no one noticed?’’I slammed my fist against the wooden table, and in three long strides I was in front of her. I gripped her jaw firmly, enough to stop her mouth from moving. ‘’You still don’t get it, do you?’’ I leaned closer, my eyes narrowing. ‘’I am Alp

Asher’s POVLast night had been reckless. I was losing control of myself and it irritated me beyond my imagination. The evening played in my head. I had kissed Luna Melody.I pranced like a hungry wolf in the room. My obsession with Layla had to end or it would eventually ruin me. But then…I was very convinced that I was right last night. When I called her Layla and she looked back, it felt just right. Why was she at the temple alone at night too? Why was she bothered about the death of Layla?The kiss had been short and wild. Just when I thought she had surrendered to me, she pushed me off, her eyes blaring hot with anger. Now, I’d made a fool of myself. And I hated being made a fool of.I sent for Alpha Nathan.He looked at me as though he could see right through me, but I knew he had no idea why he was seated in front of me before the break of dawn. I was troubled. Sleep had evaded me and I needed answers.We spoke of politics first, the concerns about the southern territories and
