Dove pov

How I know Claude in the first place. But that requires answering questions I can yet...not without telling him everything.

"Lovely dress, as usual," Claude compliments smoothly.

"Thanks," Dev and I say at the same time. We exchange awkward glances, remembering who made the dress versus who is wearing it.

Claude frowns a touch before shaking his head to expel his confusion. "I was wondering if I'd ever see you again."

I was personally hoping not. I thought here, in this pack, memories

    Dove povSteeling myself, I slowly lift up my skirt a few inches until the mark on my thigh is revealed to the physician.He takes it in, pausing for a moment."Oh...Varian, this is your mark," the physician marvels, confusion furrowing his brow. "I thought you were having her remove a mark so you could mark there."I roll my eyes, shaking my head."Dove does not want to bear my mark, and that's being honoured," he says tightly, giving me an apologetic look that I scowl at."Very well, but you should know that a connection to an Alpha is rare and strong. It will be much harder to break," the physician says casually.I straighten. "Are you serious?"This is only getting worse the longer I'm sitting here. Lucky for Varian, he looks just as surprised about this, which assures me at the very least, he hasn't marked anyone before.Varian tightens his grip on my shoulder, looking down at me. "Do you still wish to go on with the procedure?"I face ahead. Varian has lost his mind if he thinks

    Dove povShielding my eyes against the weakening late afternoon sun, I stalk outside.I'm utterly exhausted. I've been studying for the test I just sat all week, all while recovering from Ciella's wedding last weekend.A friend from class emerges out beside me, stuffing his books into his backpack. He's been helping me with catch up on some classes I missed when I couldn't get out of work."How do you think you did on the test?" He asks, slinging the bag over his shoulder.I sigh, tipping my head back. This is the last of my study, which means I'm being confronted by my future. I want to focus on politics, but doing in my own pack means encountering Matthias again.That thought is haunting..."Okay, hopefully," I respond tightly, flexing the muscles in neck in an effort to stretch them. "I don't tend to test well."David nudges me. "And yet you're the smartest in the class.""Not really. I only do well because of what my father taught me," I explain. "You'd be shocked at how far practi

    Dove pov"Fine."We sit in silence, facing each other. For a moment, there is only the birds singing outside and the gentle rustle of the breeze through the trees.The weight of Varian's body is hard to pull my attention off, especially when I feel my body drifting closer to his against my own volition."If you take this deal, it means we will see each other again," he says suddenly.I scowl at the barest hint of amusement in his expression. "Oh please, I never want to see you again in my life."He smirks, his hand shifting his hair back."Sure.""I'm done with Alpha's for the rest of my life," I exclaim assuredly.It's time for me to live a normal life.Without the mark embedded into my skin, I'll have the freedom to move on with a normal male, who lives a perfectly ordinary life.Will he be as naturally beautiful as Varian? Probably not. Will my body meltwhen I see his like it does when I look upon Varian's form? Unlikely. But will my life be content? Well, I hope so."You can't let

    Dove povShamefully, getting through the night without jumping Varian's bones was not because of my own self-preservation and rational thought.In fact, Varian decided I had too much to drink and wasn't comfortable taking our night any further. I fell asleep pretty quickly, sprawled across the middle of his bed.As I wake, blinking my eyes open blearily, I realise Varian was right to stop our night from advancing too far. As I recall last night in order of events, staring up at the ceiling, some moments are nothing more than mist.I made way too many mistakes last night. Some I may not recover from.Chief among them, crawling into an Alpha's bed and sleeping in it like it belongs to me. I suppose I can't be blamed considering how soft the linen is, and how late at night it was when I came into the room.Slowly, I turn my head, feeling Varian stir next to me.He's rubbing his eyes, the sheets having fallen down to his waist. His top half is naked, and the moment I take in his muscled to

    Dove povThis night has not gone to plan.I came to this party to ignore Varian, to enjoy my sisters wedding before moving on. I didn't come here to stand in front of Varian's bedroom door, knowing that once I cross the threshold, I'll make a decision I can't go back on.He answers my knock after a brief pause.For a moment we just stare at each other, a palpable tension sitting stagnant and unmoving between us.He hasn't been drinking tonight. I can see it in the clarity of his eyes, in the sharpness of them as they take in my strangely dressed state."I was beginning to think you weren't going to come," he murmurs, his surprise sprawled out across his face.I really should turn around and leave.If he weren't so handsome, this would be a lot easier. Even so, it's the depths of his eyes that get to me the most. More than the sharp lines of his face and perfectly mussed hair, even."May I come in?" I gesture behind him, at the guest room Eden and Ciella have supplied."Absolutely."He

    Dove povOf all the possible mistakes I've stumbled into, this may be my biggest one.I don't know what I'm doing, but I've decided to banish all rational thought in favour of tipsy impulse. Even in spite of the wine now curdling unfavourably in my stomach.I'm at Claude's door because I'm sabotaging myself, and because Varian's request for me to come to his room has gotten into my head.I know what will happen if I go there, and it's the marks fault.So I stand at Claude's door, deciding that if I'm going to get the pleasure I'm craving, I'm going to get it in spite of the Alpha.I pound on the door before stepping back. If Claude has brought his date up here...I think I will collapse from embarrassment.I shift from foot to foot. Shamefully, I left my heels back in Dev and I's guest suite, and my dress is half undone at the back. I'm not going to be needing any of it for what I have planned tonight anyway.Mercifully, he's alone as he opens the door to his suite.A surprise flutters

    Dove povThe house immediately swaddles us in its wealth and luxury the moment we step inside.The place is smothered by nature. Plants rear up from hand moulded pots, crawling up to the ceiling, wrapping and knotting around pillars and even up the bifurcated stairs.It seems as though the owner of

    Varian povI roll the rubber ball around my hand, looking at it's worn surface.The once verdant colour has faded into a sullen juniper, matching my mood.I toss it at the headstone. It rebounds off the weather beaten surface with a satisfying pocking sound, right back into my hands."It's finally

    Varian povA dull thud pulses against my temples, surprisingly unrelated to alcohol consumption.Months, years worth of stress and obligation are culminating into a particularly stomach turning mix.It's happening soon. Within days, even.The faint click of my suite door has me sitting up against m

    Dove povI think I could throw up if I really put my mind to it.People are looking at me now, mumbling incoherently between themselves. I'm seated beside the Alpha, having unwittingly received the most coveted invitation of the night.Even if I'm hoping it is fleeting."Every woman Claude has brou
