What did I do to deserve you?

The car pulled up to a mansion. A man opened the door for me and took my small suitcase.Mr. Radov is waiting for you in the living area.I basically almost broke into a run. He was walking towards me with his arms open, and I crushed into his chest. He inhaled deeply.One day, I couldn’t stay away from you, he laughed softly, revealing a hint of his past struggles, and I felt a rush of desire and vulnerability flood through me.That makes two of us, Makarius. I couldn’t concentrate at all. My brain went fuzzy.He kissed me, and in that moment, I felt my body relax completely in his arms.Let’s have some dinner first? he saidThen he gently scooped me up, the warmth of his hands against my skin, the faint scent of his cologne filling the air as we headed straight for the bedroom, anticipation thick in the air.My clothes barely made it out without being ripped.First, he just held me there against him, his hands caressing my body, while I was kissing his chest.The day was breaking wh

Something is coming

"You don’t have to do this, Victoria," he said, reaching out."Don’t touch me. I’ll handle it myself, and then I’m out. Now, are you driving me or not?""Victoria, please, just forgive me.""Forgive you? Are you driving, or should I hail a cab?"Silence.I slammed the door and jabbed the elevator button.He stepped in behind me."Look, I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt you.""Using me? Go on, enlighten me.""You’re pissed. Can we talk about this later?""No. I’m gone tomorrow. This is it.""Victoria, you’re blowing this out of proportion…"I shoved my finger into his chest. "Twice, Makarius. Twice I’ve been fooled, and you knew that. We promised honesty. I kept my word."The doors opened, and I walked out, flagging down a taxi.I choked back the tears. It stung because I’d fallen for him, thought we had something real.How many times can I misjudge someone?Edensire Corporation sprawled across three floors of the building. I spent the morning reviewing quarterly figures with Mrs. Varga

Old, rich and conveniently absent

Makarius's eyes widened. " How did you figure it out?" "Figure what out?" I asked, my brow furrowing. "The fake formula you planted. They caught the spy because of it." "It worked?" I leapt onto the couch, unable to contain my excitement. " Let me guess... someone from Finance?" Makarius shook his head slowly, a smile spreading across his face. " I underestimated you. Everyone does. You're not just beautiful, you're brilliant." He lunged forward, his fingers finding my ribs. "Stop!" I gasped between fits of laughter. "Makarius, I can't breathe!" My protests dissolved into silence as his tickling hands became caresses, and suddenly we were a tangle of limbs and urgent kisses.After a while,Makarius, I whispered, never doubt that I love you.I will never, he paused, promise. Then kissed my forehead. Sleep, you need to rest.I strode through Edensire with my chin raised, savoring my small victory. Staff members whispered as I passed, their sidelong glances sliding off me like rain

It begins...

I leaned back in the jet seat, and Makarius tossed a blanket over me.I shut my eyes.The eclipse, the sky going dark. The knives glinted in my hands as I charged toward the clearing, yelling his name.Makarius’s hand landed on my shoulder.“Victoria, you’re dreaming again,” he said, brushing a kiss on my forehead. “We’re landing soon.”I forced a smile.The dream felt too vivid, and a cold shiver ran down my spine. I glanced at my trembling hands, feeling the weight of my anxiety. “Okay, I hope I’m not losing it.”The car wound its way up the mountain, twisting along serpentine roads.“Makarius, can I tell you something?”“You know you can tell me anything. Spit it out.”“Something bad’s coming,” I said.“Care to elaborate? Like some omen?”“War,” I answered. “Soon.”He laughed. “Who’s stupid enough to pick a fight with me?”I described the dream, the faceless opponent, the moon covering the sun, causing total darkness on earth. Makarius pulled out his phone, frowned at the screen,

You choose me?

Makarius dragged me to the dungeon, as I was begging him to let me go with him.I love you too much, Victoria. I need you alive. Forgive me.Makarius, I have to be out, Makarius….I dropped to my knees. When I opened my eyes, the cell was lit.What is happening? Yellow light was slipping from me.I started to panic…taking short breaths.The knife, I had the knife in the hem of my dress. I took it out and opened the door.Bolted on the long dungeon hallway. I jumped; my leg got scraped. Didn’t care. I need to save Makarius.Goddess, please protect him, I screamed.I ran; the sun was covered halfway, and darkness would set upon us… the prophecy. I stopped in the middle of the forest. The goddess’s favorite will save and protect us. She’ll show herself to choose her mate. My father, he said that, now fucking run, I told myself.I was at the edge of the clearing, as the sun was almost completely covered.Makarius, I screamed, he was shirtless, his large blades in his hands. No, don’t you

I beg to differ

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he pulled me close against him." I' m here," I whispered, his lips finding mine with fierce tenderness. "And I love you more than anything." " Now may I shower and get dressed, my king?" I asked when we finally parted.He chuckled. " Yes, my queen. I'll join you."When we entered the common area, the entire pack fell silent. I met their stares unflinching." Tonight," Makarius announced, his voice carrying through the hall, "we celebrate not only my finding my true luna, but also that she stands favored by the goddess herself." He raised his hand. "And we honor her birthday." The pack erupted in howls and applause."Let the celebration begin," he declared, pushing open the massive wooden doors to reveal the towering bonfire beyond. As music filled the air, he led me into our first dance.Makarius was mid-conversing with Joe when Pirate darted in front of me, forcing me to stop. He smiled, then pulled me into a quick embrace, and murmured, “I alway

You wanted to be a king

Drystan’s POVIt's over, I thought as I collapsed onto the bed. Nothing could change what had happened. I picked up the phone and called Balthazar.Drystan, he said softly, I…Don’t bother. The bond is set. Makarius is her fated mate. Victoria chose him as those words left my mouth, a sharp pang of disbelief and hurt twisted in my chest, as if the very air around me grew heavier, suffocating. I remembered her laughter echoing in the corridors of my mind, her smile that once felt like sunlight kissing my soul. Yet as she accepted her bond with Makarius, it seemed her eyes held a whisper of hesitation, a silent question left unanswered, like a shadow passing across her heart. But now, the reality of her decision pressed down on me, each heartbeat an endless reminder of my solitude.Drystan, you need to move on. It’s done.Move on? I sat up. After everything I shared with her? You can't even begin to understand the pain I'm feeling right now.You wanted to be a king. I warned you, Drysta

Let her process this

Balthazar’s POVI looked out at the land while the driver kept his eyes on the winding road. I was more nervous than I expected. I chose to tell Makarius before Victoria because I’m afraid she’ll hate me.The car entered the town where the Tatra pack lived and stopped at the pack house.I saw Victoria laughing with Pirate, the traitor. I sent him to keep me informed, but he called to say the deal was off.I stayed in the car, watching her until she disappeared into the forest. Then the driver opened my door, and Alpha Makarius walked over."Alpha Balthazar, what a pleasure. Please come in," he said, extending his hand."Alpha Makarius, thank you for having me," I said as I shook his hand.I sat down while he walked around the desk and took his seat, watching me."Alpha Makarius, congratulations on your marriage. I heard you found your fated Luna," I said."Wow, word travels fast. And yes, fate brought us together in the most unusual way. I’d say the Goddess had a hand in it."I tried

I'm in trouble

Victoria’s POVAfter Balthazar left, I glared at Makarius, anger burning inside me.Victoria, he said softly, I...I pressed my finger to his chest. This is your last warning, Makarius. Maybe I don’t say 'I love you' enough or hug you often, but you need to stop this... this behavior.He kissed me deeply. My body betrayed me, melting into his.Forgive me, I didn’t mean to.I care about him, Makarius, and that won’t change. Sienna isn’t a good person, that’s all. I know you’re jealous, but I haven’t done anything to break our trust.You’re right. On the bright side, you found your dad. His eyes showed a brief sadness.Makarius, this must be hard for you, but I can share my dad with you, I said.Did I ever tell you how sweet you are? No? He kissed my lips.Do tell me, I said, giggling. A knock on the door broke our connection.Joe walked inside. Sorry, should I come back?No, Joe, I said. Makarius is all yours. I walked outside and sent him a daring text.He replied with a wink emoji. I

This child is cursed

Balthazar’s POVSixteen years agoSylvia, I shouted, “Where are you?Daddy, Mom is sleeping, shhh.I picked her up and kissed her cheek. My little wolf. What are you up to?Nothing, I play with a bunny, a lizard, and a chicken. I asked them to do funny things, and they listened like they were my friends.I asked them to tumble; she giggled. They’re cute.Honey, you need to stop that; no more playing with the animals.The alarm blared.We’re being attacked, I shouted.Listen to me. I must hide you. Promise me you’ll never play with animals again, Victoria, I shouted.Okay, Daddy, don’t be mad at me.Now stay here until I come and get you. Victoria, there are bad people outside. Don’t come out.Victoria nodded.I rushed outside and saw the pack gathered. My beta pointed the way.The pack followed me into battle. Everything became a blur of blows, blood, and bones cracking. Then I saw him, King Radov. I ran toward him.Balthazar, your little girl, where is she? They said she harbors a po
