The next day when I meet with Lynexia in the hospital, she has the biggest fucking smile on her lips and it makes me pretty suspicious when I know she is nine times out of ten planning my murder.
Since the deal between Lynexia and me was already sealed, there was no reason for me to stay away from Felicity again. The reason I stayed away this long was because I didn't think I would be able to see my daughter like this in a vulnerable state. So I forced myself to not visit her in the hospital, instead, I sent someone trusted.Opposite to Lynexia's opinion of me, I plan on making her my Luna and my wife again. I don't intend on making her into some bed warmer, she is too precious to me than that even if she doesn't see it and she hates me enough to try to stab me in the back.It will take a lengthy time for us to be the way we used to be before the invasion destroyed us but I intend on winning her back, that is if she doesn't kill me first like she promiIt'd been so long since I slept this peacefully. Ever since Felicity was diagnosed with the rare blood disease, I have had several sleepless nights where I would just stare into nothingness and let the tick-tock of the clock fill my ears until sunlight started streaming in through the window. Now, I feel much at peace knowing that Felicity will get her treatment and I will finally have my daughter back. In a month. It feels surreal to be true. Almost like I was holding my breath underwater all this while and now, I don't feel constricted and I can finally breathe. so when I feel a nudge to the side of my waist, I burrow deeper into the bed and grumble. There is no way I'm going to let anyone interrupt my sleep. Not after so long. All things been equal—if Dimitri doesn't ruin things—, everything will be back to how they were in a month. I will have my daughter sleeping in my arms again and I will be privileged to hear her carefree laughter and all the playfulness that comes with i
LYNEXIA He sucks in a sharp breath, his eyes stopping on my bare legs. "Want to test their theory?" The tip of his fingers tingles my skin. I scramble away from his touch, knowing how shameless my body and wolf are for him.He chuckles richly. "Well, except if you want me to take your bath." The glint in his eyes tells me he won't hesitate. "Which I will gladly do, go take your bath." He lacks any sense of boundary so of course he grips my bare thigh and pulls me back to the edge of the bed.My body which doesn't have an ounce of shame reacts instantly, a shiver jolting through my spine. He digs his fingers into my flesh. Not enough to hurt me but enough to make warmth trickle down, settling between my legs. At this point, my body and I are two distinct individuals. While she rejoices at any slight touch from Dimitri, I hate him with all my entire being. Figures, this man is my fated mate, obviously my inner wolf is
LYNEXIA "Why didn't you tell me?" I ask as panic claws its way up my throat. "Because you would have panic." He replies. "Well, I am now." I throw my hands up in exasperation. "Less time to panic." He says and I look at him in disbelief. I open my mouth and close it back, having no word for Dimitri. Taking my hand, he leads "You are insane." My mouth finally moves. "No," Dimitri deadpans. "This is me proving that I want you as my Luna." "By subjecting me to this?" I say, frustration bubbling up my throat. "The Elders won't accept me as the Luna." My inside recoil at the judgemental, scornful look I am about to get. "I won't let anyone disrespect or as much look down on you." He says as we slide into the elevator. I scoff. "Like you did five years ago." My words sting the air around me. Immediately the elevator door seals shut Dimitri swiftly positioned himself in front of me, pressing my back against the railing of the elevator. The cold metal against my skin i
LYNEXIA Finally, I let my shoulder slump when the Elders, including those from Moonstone pack, leave the meeting roomI downcast my gaze to my fidgeting hands. "This isn't worth it. Making me your Luna isn't worth the trouble. It will cause more problems for you." Dimitri grabs my chin, his touch gentle yet ferocious. A gasp elicit from my mouth. Looking straight into his eyes I don't waver at the sight of warmth in them. "You are worth it. You are worth everything." The sincerity in his voice trickles down my skin. A frown etches on my face. "As an Alpha, the last thing you want is for your Elders to turn their backs against you." I say. "it's like digging your own grave.""I don't care." He growls. "I don't care what it will cause me to have you by my side." Inhaling deeply, I twist my chin out of his grip, his thumb lingering a beat too long on my lips before his hand falls. Unable to take it anymore, I blurt out. "I don't understand. Why are you doing this? What is your ulte
As I dip back into consciousness, I'm greeted by a throbbing ache at the side of my head. The familiar look of the library gradually comes into view as the pain spreads from my head down to my toes. I let out a low groan of agony. As confusion swims over my head, I scan the library anxiously for what the hell just hit me. "Welcome back." A feminine voice licks the back of my neck.I snap my head back in an unnatural angle causing a muscle to pull my back with a sharp pain. Shit. I lift myself to my feet with so much difficulty before turning in the direction of the voice. My hand curls into a fist when I come in contact with the culprit, anger rolling in waves through my body. Elena. She stands before me, draped in a long satin gown, her blonde-white which mirrors mine cascading down her shoulder like rainfall. Her lips are thinned into a sneer as if my mere presence irritates her. "I was hoping you wouldn't wake up." She sighs nonchalantly, blowing her fingernails that almost r
The tensive, suffocating air hung heavy around Elena and Lynexia as I walked in, contrary to what they claimed. I knew something went down between them that I wasn't aware of but I didn't push further after Lynexia snapped. I could have but it would have erupted into a blumerage and I wanted to stay clear of that. The moment me and Lynexia step out of the library, I ask. "Did you enjoy your tour?" She doesn't dignify me with a word, she just nods sharply."You know I built this library for you. I know you always love to read. You can come here anytime you want." I say and I mean it. The library was specially made for Lynexia. That is why I named it after her but she doesn't seem to have taken notice. "It was named after you." This time she doesn't say a word nor does she respond. She acts like I am invisible. Lynexia gets away with a lot of things anyone else won't and she doesn't even know it. "I'd like to introduce you to the trainee instructors responsible for the smooth runnin
I step out the Alphahouse with my hand clenched tightly around the cold metal of the screw. Waves of anger and spite crash over me mingling with the ruthless lash of the heavy rain against my face and skin like a whip. I made a vow before returning to the shadow pack, a promise to myself and Felicity. I swore not to let anymore trample over me again. Yet, since setting foot into the shadow pack's territory, I have become nothing more than a weakling. From the elders to the members of the pack, I have let everyone treat me like filth, though I vowed against it. Elena's disrespect was the final blow, proving that I was nothing more but a weakling. I can't even hold a fight against her. Not only am I weak but my wolf is rebelling against me. She lay dormant when I beckoned to her as if punishing me for hiding her away like a dirty secret for five straight years. I bristle when I remember how things went down between me and Elena. My breathing comes in ragged gasps, my chest is rising
No one really knows wasn't exactly sure I was born under the fire moon but due to my awful reactions to cold everyone assumed. I glance over my shoulder and she understands immediately. "Alpha." She says with a nod. "Go to your room. I will make you something warm for you." I head toward my room—it feels weird to call it mine again after moving out following my marriage with Dimitri—while Julianne veers in the direction of the kitchen. Sinking into the bed, I release a soft sigh. Shortly after, Lyn walks in, a teacup in one hand and a folded cloth in another. I thank her as she hands me the tea and puts the cloth beside me. I take a slow sip, liking how the warm, low-sugar liquid soothes my inside. I gulp down the rest of the tea greedily, ignoring the slight burn as it went down my throat. Even my wolf cooed inside of me. She is still in me, I can feel her, she is just been deviant against me as payment for keeping her hidden.When I set the cup down on the nearby table, Julianne
