MasukDraven’s POVThe first name that came to my mind was Liam, but he wouldn’t dare; he knew that would mean death. I turned to see Emily’s pale face.The healer spoke. Alpha, Emily is no ordinary she-wolf. The moon Goddess has blessed her with gifts—she can call silverlight that heals wounds, sense dark intentions, and sometimes glimpse threads of fate itself. Her body is still frail; she can’t hold it.Keep this to yourself. Do not leave this room, or I will have your head. After they all left, I was about to wash when she opened her eyes.Draven…she said, holding her head. Then saw the blood on my chest and arms; her eyes turned to panic. You’re hurt, you’re …I took her hand fast.Emily, the blood is not mine. Now forgive me for what I’m about to do. You need a lot of rest. My hand went over her face, and her body went limp back on the pillow. I sighed.I cleaned up and changed. When I exited the bedroom, the guards were already placed, two at the door, two at the end of the hallway. B
Emily’s POVOne week had passed; Liam never appeared in front of me, and Nolan watched me from afar. I suspected they had a second chance too, yet to kill me, and I wanted badly to know why. Was my past life a huge lie, a game they played with me, my innocence?I walked into Draven’s office to see him at the window. He turned and smiled, and my heart skipped a beat. I’m falling hard for him, and I begged the Goddess to guide me; I do not want to be wrong in this life.His arms held me tight, my body relaxed against his. My little wolf, why are you so serious?"Draven," I said, pulling gently away. "I think it's time for me to tell you everything. " Goddess blessed me with my past life memories. He sat down, and I went into his lap and laid my head on his shoulder. I launched the story from the beginning. His body tensed several times, and when I finished, he touched my face.First, I want you to know, in this life I will protect you…Make you happy… Are you happy, Emily, with me, this?
Emily’s POVLiam was shouting orders as everyone lined up. His eyes were cold on me, almost a hint of hatred. I racked my brain, wondering if there was something I had done to him or his family, either in this life or the last. Maybe it was because of Draven, or maybe he recognized something about me that I couldn't remember. What could I possibly have done to him in the past life that he hates me so much?I turned to the woman he paired me with, throwing the long stick at me.Ex is: Let’s start; everything is in the core. Focus with every move, read your opponent, he kept shouting to everyone.She attacked first, and I blocked all the moves. I could see she was getting angry. That’s when I hit her, first on the leg, then her shoulder.Enough, stop, he shouted at me. He went behind the woman, his hands on her middle, whispering something in her ear while his eyes were coldly staring at me.I smiled. Are you giving her pointers or feeling her body?He looked shocked at me, then walked
Draven’s POVMy hand touched her body softly as I tried to control myself. Emily was beautiful, and her scent was driving me insane with want. I licked the mark on her neck as I turned to her; she let out a soft moan. Her body arched gently on me, and I lost it, my hands possessive of her because she was mine, only mine—my mate. But even as I claimed her, a shadow of fear moved through me. I could not lose her, not again. Loving her meant opening the part of myself I kept locked away, and that terrified me, but I cannot help it. This lifetime, she will be happy.Draven, she whispered, don’t stop…I knew she must be sore, but I still slid inside her, my lips kissing her desperate and breathless. Her hands were caressing my back, leaving a trail of fire on my skin. I turned on my back, holding her tight against my body. I took her breast in my mouth, playing with her nipple, as my hands touched her bumps. I pushed a little deeper, and her back arched, her breath ragged as she came undo
Draven’s POV" Leave us," I told them as my hand reached out for her to come closer. Liam stared intensely at her, his jaw clenched, a flicker of confusion and hurt in his eyes. Nolan's gaze was just as sharp, but there was something guarded in his expression, as if he was trying to mask his feelings behind indifference. Both lingered for a moment, tension thick in the air, before stepping back.Are they remembering her?Her small hand went onto mine, and I kissed it, wanting her to feel just how much she affected me. They watched from the door as she sat on my lap, surprising me and making my heart beat faster. I almost couldn't believe she would come this close. My arms held her tight, the need to protect her and keep her with me stronger than ever, as my lips kissed her neck and I inhaled her scent. The way her body responded to my touch lit something deep in my chest, a mix of hope and hunger. Did she feel this too, or was it just wishful thinking on my part? Hmmmm, progress.The
Emily’s POVI felt the undeniable electricity between us and the jolt. He definitely was my mate, but my wolf was sick or dormant; I had no idea. His face is inches from mine. His not wearing a shirt didn’t help much; he was a nice specimen. I can’t deny I was attracted to him.Teach me how to fight, I said as I stood up. Saw for a flicker of a moment his disappointment on his face.I think you can handle yourself well, he said with a crooked smile that made my heart beat fast.And to get my wolf…I continue. Maybe we can get to know each other better.I agree, of course, my Luna, I will teach you whatever your heart desires.Let’s not get romantic with this; it's a business deal, I said cold. I didn’t believe my own words, but I will put up a fight. No one will conquer my heart again. Not after last time, not after the way I was left shattered, trust burnt to ashes. It was safer to let no one in.What are you afraid of, Emily? Talk to me, be honest.Afraid? No, I don’t want to get…nev
Emily’s POVI watched Nolan and sensed he was brushing me off, probably because I woke him. Guilt crept in—am I just making things harder for him? He has to watch me, and that distant look makes me wonder if he hates it. But I also resent the need for supervision at all. Should I apologize or just
Hunter’s POVMy eyelids were so heavy they felt glued shut, weighed down by sleep and something thicker, as if I was sinking in a warm fog. Slowly, I forced them open. The light in the room was soft, but still it made my eyes sting. It took a while for everything to come into focus: the scratch of
Hunter’s POVI look at her beautiful face, and of course, I want her and mark her. But does she want me?Hunter, her hands cupping my face, I want this…her lips kissing mine softly. I growl, and I don’t know why; my wolf is acting fucking weird.I yank her shirt off, her beautiful breasts just my h
Emily’s POVI listened to all the rules as we walked together, our footsteps crunching over gravel and dry leaves. The sky faded from gold to deep purple, casting long shadows over the worn path. A cool, earthy smell lingered in the air, mixed with the faint tang of pine and woodsmoke blowing from
