Pinning me against the wall, he gripped my jaw and growled, “You are mine, Ember.” His hand closed around my throat tightly before he whispered venomously, “Mine to break. Mine to destroy. As long as you are here, you are at my mercy.” A devilish smirk touched his lips as he said playfully, “And I am NEVER letting you go, my mate.” ============== All her life, Ember has worked hard to be the next Queen of the South but her life turns upside down when she finds out that she is the mate of the ruthless Alpha of the North, the bloodthirsty enemy of the South. Angry at fate, Ember vows to fight this forbidden mate bond. Alpha Nicholus, on the other hand, is disgusted to find out that the daughter of his worst enemy is actually his fated mate. But in his quest to become the most powerful King, he decides to bow down to fate but when his rebellious mate disagrees, he doesn’t hesitate to unleash his ruthless demons to get what he wants.
View MoreEmber’s POV:After an hour of training and exercising, all the Omegas returned to the Omega Quarters.Finding me in the crowd, Abi ordered me sternly, “Go back to your room, take a shower, change into your uniform, and meet me down here in half an hour.”Nodding my head abruptly, I whirled around and sauntered to my room. No matter how hard I tried to ignore it, I still felt weird every time Abi ordered me around or talked to me rudely.I have lived my life as a Princess. Every word leaving my word was always considered an order. But now the tables have flipped. Fate had indeed played a very brutal game with me. I was now taking orders and scurrying away to fulfill them because I didn’t want to anger Abi or upset Luna who agreed to my demand to live as an Omega.Back in my room, I made a beeline to the washroom, stepped out of the tracksuit, and turned the tap open. I stared at the stream of water and hesitantly put my hand under it.Jerking it back, I yelped at how freaking cold the
Ember's POV:To be honest, the room was beyond my expectations. As I opened the almirah, I was surprised to find a new tracksuit, a bunch of T-shirts, trousers, shoes, slippers, and a long white frock with black sleeves. I've seen the workers wearing that dress around the castle which indicated that it must be an Omega uniform.When I entered the washroom to freshen up, my eyes widened as they traveled from a towel hanging from the hook to a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and even a face wash.I wondered how much of a lavish lifestyle royalties must have in the North when their lowest rank was treated this nicely.The only thing that was lacking in the room was a warm comforter. Even though many of the omegas were late to shift or had weak wolves they still had their wolf with them to withstand the extreme cold of the North.But in my case, my wolf was on the edge of dying. My body wasn't capable of enduring the bone-chilling cold.Even though the window was close
Ember's POV:Exhaling a heavy breath, I hesitantly stepped inside the room as Abi chirped, "It'll be your room."I turned around in a full circle and scanned my surroundings with careful eyes.It was a spacious room. A single bed was pushed against one wall. Clean linen sheets were draped over it along with a pillow. A small LED was mounted on the wall in front of the bed. An almirah was perched against the other wall. Other than that, a chair and a small study table were also placed in the corner.A window was also there for ventilation. While scanning the room, I saw another door leading to an attached washroom.My eyes were literally about to pop out of their sockets as I asked in disbelief, "Do all Omegas get to have their separate rooms? Like, for real?"Abi stared at me boringly before deciding to answer, "Yes. According to Alpha Nicholus, all the Omegas deserve to have their own private space where they can take rest in peace after doing all the hectic work."I was screaming in
Ember's POV:That night, Dr. Alina entered the ward with a Velene injection in her hand. By now, I knew very well that fighting it was all in vain. So, with a heavy heart, I simply pulled up my sleeve and turned my head to the side as she plunged the needle into my vein.With every drop entering my veins, my hatred for my mate increased tenfold.All my life, I had craved my Father's affection and love even though I knew what a cruel man he was. I despised him for being such a wicked and brutal leader, but still never stopped loving him as a father figure.But the moment my feelings for him flipped was when I discovered the truth about my mother. The hatred for my Father flared in my heart the moment I read in those journals about what he did to my mother and what suffering he inflicted on her.He stole my mother's true identity from her and forced her to live as a creature she never was. He had kept her under Velene for years and that's what drove my hatred for him beyond limits.And
Ember's POV:For the next two days, I was kept in the clinic ward. The guards were stationed outside, keeping me under strict watch as if I'd try to run away again now that I had neither my wolf nor my magical necklace to wield my witch powers.Dr. Alina visited me every day to inject Velene into me to suppress my witch side but she had reduced the dose now.There were only two things in the ward that didn't make it suffocating for me. First, it had a heating system that kept the place warm because the sick werewolves couldn't cope with the harsh temperature of the North. Second, my mate's absence, who didn't return after his first and last visit.On the third day, Luna Nina arrived to visit me. She inquired about my health and made a small talk with me. True to Damon's description, she was such a down-to-earth lady. So generous and kind-hearted. So opposite of his son. The best thing about her was the radiating and warm smile that was always present on her face.For a long time, I co
Ember’s POV:A soft, feather-like touch on my face pulled me out of a deep slumber. It was warm and gentle and I wanted to lean further into it and relish it when, all of a sudden, recent events flashed in my mind and I remembered the doctor giving me a strange drug instead of Xanadium before I blacked out.My eyes snapped open, and the first thing I saw was a pair of pitch-black eyes hovering over me. My heart lurched up my throat at the nearness, and a loud gasp escaped my lips as I felt his hand brushing against my ear.With a frenzy, I jerked up in the bed and pushed him away, “What the hell are you doing?”My sudden outburst took him by surprise and he stumbled a step back.My eyes widened as I glanced at the IV drip attached to my arm. Clutching it tightly, I jerked it out of my vein and blurted out, “What did the doctor give me? That was not fucking Xanadium.”Lifting my head, I looked at my mate for answers. But my gut coiled as I saw him staring hard at me with that intense g
Nicholus’s POV:Darius had downed over two bottles of BloodMoon Merlot and was completely drunk now whereas I stopped drinking after three shots because I didn’t want to get drunk and lose control.He popped open yet another bottle of sparkling liquid when I couldn't resist asking him, “Will you tell me?”He looked at me with hooded eyes, “Tell you what?”Pressing my lips into a thin line, I mumbled under my breath, “About what you two have been discussing in the cell?”A foolish grin split on his stupid face which made me roll my eyes. I reprimanded myself for inquiring about such a thing even after telling myself repeatedly that I didn’t care about anything related to her.He wiggled his eyebrows and drawled, “Someone is desperate to know about his mate, huh?”I huffed out, “Not at all. I’m just a little bit curious, that’s all.”He dismissed me with a wave of his hand, “Yeah, yeah, no need to tell me that you’re dying to talk about her.”“Darius,” I exerted warning in my voice.It w
Nicholus’s POV:Exiting the dungeons, I started walking toward my private chambers. The night was so fucking mind-exhausting that I wanted to spend the rest of it alone before I caused any more destruction.Passing through the Luna’s quarter, I spotted her guards standing outside. Coming to a halt, I inquired, “What are you two doing here? Didn't Luna order you to take Darius to the castle clinic?”One of them nodded before answering, “We were on our way, Alpha. But then Beta asked us to take him to his chamber instead.”Turning on my heels. I started walking in the opposite direction. The castle had various chambers, quarters, and wings. The biggest of them was known as the Great Chamber which had always been reserved for the King. It was located above all the other chambers. It was so huge that I could see half of my empire from its terrace. After that was the Luna’s Quarters. Then, there were smaller chambers for Beta and Gamma.With quick strides, I crossed the hallways until I re
Ember’s POV:Turning her blazing gaze toward his son, Luna said curtly, “Capturing women in the name of war trophies?”Disgust was written all over her face as she scoffed, “Couldn’t resist walking in your father’s footsteps for long, huh?”His death-like grip around my arm loosened instantly before he blurted out, “No, it’s not…”Luna cut him off mid-sentence, “I’ve never seen you do that before.” She shook her head in disappointment, “The son I’ve raised would never do such a hideous thing to any woman," she said in distress.Alpha’s body went rigid behind me at his mother’s words. He released an exasperated breath and said agitatedly, “You challenged my authority when it came to Darius, mom. But as the Luna of this pack, I let that go and gave in to your demand because I respect you.”His voice turned harsher as he bit out, “But she…she is not a member of our pack. So, you do not need to protect her.”He looked straight into Luna's eyes and uttered with finality, “Let me handle thi
Ember's POV:I heard the trembling voice from my left, "Lemme ask you again, are you really sure about it, Ember?"I jerked my head in Sophie's direction, not liking the doubt in her demeanor at the last minute, "Why else do you think I've crossed the Forbidden Border and entered the North territory?"Her eyes swept our gloomy surroundings, taking in the dark forest all around, and she shivered, "I am not liking any of it. We can still go back..."My eyes narrowed in annoyance, "The fear in your voice is now making me question Liam's training skills."Sophie rolled her eyes, "You are this much confident because you are an Alpha born."I gave her another look to which she responded with a groan, "Don't look at me like that. You know why I am this afraid. I mean, come on, we are in the NORTH."I shook my head and sighed in disappointment, "You knew what you were getting yourself into when you agreed to it, Sophie."Her voice lowered when she replied, "I couldn't really let you come here...
