Sovia’s POV

“I will end your life.” Zedekiah's words echoed inside my head, dark and filled with warning.

His intense gaze bore into mine as he laid those threats.

Watching his retreating figure, a low, sly smirk curved upward.

My hand reached over to touch my neck—it still burned from the impact of his hand.

I hissed at the slight discomfort.

Zedekiah Lockham might think I’ll be under his control, but I’ll have to give him that illusion… while making sure he becomes my personal blade.

    Zadekiah’s POV "Maybe I am a fool." Sovia rasped, every word clawed at my chest. "But so are you."My mouth closed around one of the tears and sucked. I could taste bitter anger and pain, like this gave me the slightest inclination of what she was feeling.Yes. I'm the biggest fool.Because at this moment, I wanted to take it all away and forget all about my own.Deep inside my heart, in a low voice I asked myself. Sovia Henric, is there a day you would ever shed a tear for me — even a drop.She wouldn’t. Pain bloomed inside my mouth as I closed my hand around her shoulder, drawing her inside my body like I could take the wholeness of her inside me. Maybe… just maybe if we were merged, she would see me. Not even love me—just truly stay by my side.But she was nothing but a fire that would consume my soul — eventually.“Zadekiah?” She called softly.“Hmmm?” I shut my eyes, wanting this to be real but it wasn’t.“Whenever you hold me — I feel alive. Like my heart can finally beat.”I

    Zadekiah’s POVShe lied, yet she was the one who stood up for me.At every turn, she is infectious and the longer she stays I can’t get her out of my mind.She’s poisonous because I know how this would end.I should let her go because she ruins me.But no, I still want to hold on to whatever this was. Even if it is not real.Yes, that’s how unreasonable I get when it comes to this woman.My tragic nemesis.The hallway had the usual stillness that always crept across my chest. Sovia’s scent mixed alongside and it only made my steps move faster.Then I saw her there, standing so small and broken. I could smell the ache rolling off her as she clenched her fist.Looking past her shoulders, I understood why she was that way.Her shoulders trembled the more she stared at them.She’s in pain. My wolf, Zion said softly.My heels pinned to the floor, telling myself that I should just turn and leave. Let her suffer, because she loved him.Or let her feel even a fracture of what I felt seeing he

  • When Destiny Brings A Second Chance Mate   Chapter 42

    Sovia’s POV Zadekiah doesn't trust me. It was obvious that he was trying to get rid of me. Nice move, Zadekiah. And if the news gets out, I’ll have to go back to my family and to Janova. I cannot let that happen. Throughout dinner, he didn’t touch his food, and all he did was keep refilling my plate and in order to keep the charade I kept beaming. Dinner ended almost abruptly. I kept my head down as the Luna Queen rose and escorted me out of the hall. “Are you really in love with that thing?” She asked. The air around us suddenly turned chilly, as she took my arm gently guiding me. The same way she did in my former life. However it only made my wolf stir, in ways that made my chest lock. I could almost see those memories playing over, when she grabbed my arm and ordered the maids to hold me down. “Mother please, the medicine makes my stomach hurt,” I pleaded when she asked why I hadn’t drunk the concoction of her healer's brew. “It was to make your barren womb fertile,”

  • When Destiny Brings A Second Chance Mate   Chapter 41

    Sovia’s POVI didn't know what I was supposed to expect when I said those words to the Alpha King. During my past life we barely had any head-on confrontation like this. Janova was always clear…” Don't anger my father.”Not long after he became very ill and suddenly passed, Janova took the position as Alpha King. Everything happened so quickly and if I remembered correctly Zadekiah was sent to the border to deal with rogues. When he came back Janova was already Alpha King.Strange.Could all of it somehow be Janova’s plans? Kill his father and become king. He murdered his own mate, of course he definitely would.“You really are your father’s daughter.” I blinked when I heard the Alpha King’s voice. “So fearless. Stubborn and unreasonable. But if you are going to be part of this family then you will learn your place.”I couldn’t stop the frown that spread over my lips. In my past life I was so desperate to be accepted that I let everything slide and they all walked all over me.“Your

    Sovia’s POV He didn't have to hold me but he did. Just the moment when I needed it the most. Someone to hold me, and tell me that I could do this. Face the people that ruined me. Janova. The royal family. Blossom. Feeling Zadekiah's rough palm slide into mine and lock our fingers, something about this moment felt almost intimate — like it was meant to be However, I was never one to believe in fate. Not after what happened to me. Still, his touch made my stomach flutter and we stepped inside the hall. My focus lingered on the man that should hate me, but was holding me like I was the only thing that mattered to him. That strange magnetic pull made me lean in, familiar and warm. Like that day when I first met Janova. The day he saved me from those rogues, and I gave him my heart. Heat crept at the back of my eyes, thinking about how just one event could change the course of someone’s emotions and feelings. I tore my gaze away from Zadekiah as we reached the table. Zadeki

  • When Destiny Brings A Second Chance Mate   Chapter 39

    Zadekiah’s POV Gods, when was she going to stop with her rambling? Despite my eyes being closed, I felt her presence hovering. The image of Sovia when she stepped inside my space glued to my memory. How her red hair draped her shoulders, and her black dress snatched her lean waist. I still remembered her collar bones popping out. She was too lean for her age. Once the silence stretched longer, I opened my eyes to see Sovia. Her long lashes fluttered with sleep. Gods, she was beautiful. Even in her sleep. If we were in our former lives, maybe I would have told her those exact words — that she was beautiful. But now, I can't. For what is ahead, weakness will only give my enemies a channel to use against me. The car made a turn. Sovia’s body tilted. My chest twisted with panic as I reached over to her. One hand over her shoulder brought her to my chest. Instinctively she snuggled closer. Her movement was cool and familiar like an act she had done many times. I sighe
