I thought I would be beaten and broken forever. It was the curse of not shifting. Without a wolf, I was no better than a human to my pack, an omega. I was there to serve and clean up after them. The only light in my life was my boyfriend, Jake. At least, he was until he decided to sleep with and mark my sister. When all hope was lost, and I was ready to make my escape, my life was turned upside down. The Lycan King was known to be cruel and heartless. He had slain thousands, ruled with an iron fist, and was now searching for his mate. Turns out, being a human was the least of my worries….
View MoreNatalie's P.O.V.My mother nodded subtly as I turned to look at her, answering my unspoken question of whether he knew who I was to him. She managed to look more terrified than I felt, which only made me even more anxious."Henry," I tested the name, unsure how to address him. I still avoided calling Aurora by her name when I spoke to her. I didn't want to offend her by calling her Aurora instead of mom or mom instead of her name since she hadn't been in my life for more than a few months. "It is nice to meet you. Please, have a seat."I gestured with my hand toward the couch and armchairs by the fireplace, and he nodded before taking a seat in one of the individual chairs.Joselin was openly examining him with her head tilted to the side. Her back was straight, and her legs were crossed, looking every bit as beautiful and poised as she was terrifying."I'm under the impression that you know why you're here, so I'm just going to come out and say it to clear the air." I swallowed hard,
Natalie's P.O.V.Killian seemed highly amused by me as we ate our lunch together. I would find him staring at me with a small smile or chuckling to himself while I was nibbling on my food.I was happy my mother was here, and she was safe. But the bigger part of my mind was stuck on whether my father had returned with her. Did she tell him about me? Did he want to meet me?"You have barely touched your food, my love. Did I not do a good enough job to help you work up an appetite?" His words sent a wave of warmth to my core, and I shifted as I picked up half of my sandwich and took a dramatically large bite out of it. He had absolutely done his job to work up my appetite, but it was still tempting to tease him and tell him no. Maybe then he would ensure I was thoroughly ravished and christen the study like he suggested. "You're distracted."I shook my head as I swallowed, not wanting to talk about it on our date. He was right that I had been distracted, and I didn't want to bring him do
Killian's P.O.V. Natalie smiled brightly as we walked down the hallway hand in hand. I had yet to determine if she had ever explored this part of the castle before, but it would soon become her favorite place. I glanced down at my beautiful mate. My lips pulled into a prideful smile as she walked gracefully, covered in my scent. Never had I imagined that I would be able to feel this level of happiness. Before her, it was just anger, frustration, and stress. My life was hollow. I kept going because there was always something that I was needed for. Something for me to do, but nothing I enjoyed. I had a kingdom of people depending on me to keep their lifestyle, safety, and future up to their expectations. Now I had Natalie depending on me too, and somehow that additional pressure only encouraged me to work harder to give her the life that she deserved, that our kids deserved. This surprise was the first step in providing her what she needed for her mental well-being. The large white
Natalie's P.O.V.The smirk could be heard in his words, and I pushed myself further against his hips. Killian growled lowly as my ass rubbed his hardness, and his hold on me only tightened in response."I will not beg for what is mine." His lips rubbed against mine, and my knees threatened to buckle beneath me. "I will not beg for something you willingly give me."I smirked as he called my bluff. I was willing, so willing to give him anything he wanted. Everything about him called to me, begging me to always be closer, please him, and take anything he wanted to give me.I didn't just love him. I adored him.He was mine, forever.The brief fear that I wouldn't be in control when he fucked me had me worried, but I pushed it down as I savored this moment with my mate. I trembled with want, desperate to take him as hard and deeply as possible.He was right. It had been too long. I had shut myself off from him after the battle…after I committed mass murder.My eyes fell shut as I also forc
Natalie's P.O.V Joselin looked right over me. Her face looked gaunt, and what little color she had to her skin had faded. I had wanted to speak with her to see if she was okay, but she hadn't been around lately. Since we came home, this was the first time I had seen her outside of my visit to the infirmary days ago. But I jumped at the chance when I saw her out and about. I hadn't seen her teleporting recently, and I took advantage of the opportunity, following her on foot to Agatha's grave. Joselin whispered an incantation softly as she lifted the soil and let it fall through her fingers. She was hurting, and in turn, so was Tobias. He couldn't take his eyes off her. So I sat where he could see her as we waited. I found a bench and waited for her, keeping my eyes averted to give her privacy. But Tobias openly stared at her with longing. His hands clenched and unclenched as he stood guard several feet in front of me and to the side. When she was done, she walked right past me, he
Killian's P.O.V.Natalie stood in the hallway that led to my office, staring at the glass mural for over an hour before George alerted me.I knew Tobias never would have told me. He had an extreme loyalty to Natalie that I was impressed with, but I wanted to know things like this.How would I know if Natalie was not okay if they hid things like this from me? All I felt from her since the battle was numbness. It was almost draining to have that constant feeling in the back of my head, but I was determined to continue to support and love her for as long as she would let me."Were you coming to see me?" I asked softly as I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.Her skin was cold, and I held her tightly to my body to share my warmth. Natalie sighed softly as she let her body fall back against mine."Yes, but I got distracted."I bit back a chuckle at her admission, pressing my face into her hair."Do you think She wanted me to kill so many of Her creatures, or is she a
Natalie's P.O.V.I could hear Her melodic voice on repeat, telling me to let go. She wanted me to lose control, control I had tried so hard to maintain. But she had been right.I had lost control. I had let my emotions rule my magic, and now thousands were dead. It didn't bother me that they were. They needed to die to save the lives of my people. I would do it again in a heartbeat if I needed to.But that was the problem. That was what I was scared of. What if I accidentally did it again?How many of my own people would die because I got too angry, too scared, or too sad?I wanted to celebrate with my pack as the city was alive with excitement. Bonfires were lit throughout the city, and people ate and drank to their hearts' content.What we had anticipated being a long and drawn-out war, had ended in a matter of hours. We had lost so few that while they would be mourned and missed, the joy of so many returning home was something to celebrate.Yet, I had difficulty enjoying myself whe
Killian's P.O.V. My world stopped spinning momentarily as I felt her body collapse on top of mine, shielding me from the inevitable blow that would end my life. I expected it to be cold and dark as I entered the veil, but there was a sudden heat instead. I opened my eyes and watched a large blue flame leave Natalie's body, rolling off her like a wave. There was a loud collection of hissing and screams as the vampires stumbled to the ground, trying to extinguish the flames, but it was useless. I felt the warmth and the heat, but it didn't hurt me. The flames that would end the lives of so many were almost comforting and calming to me. Joselin had seen Natalie saving me in her vision months ago, but so many things had happened since then. There was no certainty of it coming to fruition. I had been encouraging Natalie to study and practice her magic. Still, she had only had a couple weeks between getting her powers and using them in battle. So, I fought. I fought tooth and nail, prep
