Roman POV To say that I was confused and conflicted with myself would be an understatement. I do not know what came over me last night. I had the same urge to protect Dragana, I wanted her, that much has not changed. But there was something else. I felt something. I felt a bond of some kind. I slept soundly with her in my arms for the first time in many years. I woke up not wanting to let her go. However, I knew I had to. I had a mate and my fidelity, love and responsibility belonged to her. Something was nagging me though; I could not explain it. When I kissed her this morning before she left, it was incredible. For the first time, I just wanted to kiss her, I wanted her to know the gentleness, the actual kiss, other than the raw sexuality behind it. I hesitated at first, but when her plump warm lips opened to me, I lost myself in her scent, in the warmth of her mouth, in the fact that she was responding. I could have stayed like that forever, kissing her as if I was drowning and she

Roman’s POVThe excitement of finally seeing my mate, of holding her close to me was buzzing around me. Electricity of it was unreal and I was beyond ecstatic! Finally, my fated mate, my Luna Queen, future mother of my pups, stability for my kingdom, stability for my packs, stability for me, and I for her. I thought of all the ways I will make her celebrated, wanted, elevated, loved, cherished, and supported. She was my destined, the gift from the Goddess after all. I kissed her with all I had, sparks flying around, and she welcomed my kiss, her plump lips opening to me, her warm tongue dancing with me. However, something was wrong. Something was seriously, very, very wrong. The mate bond was faint if there was a bond at all. She was a beautiful and attractive woman, but this was not a mate pull. This much I knew. It was definitely NOT what I expected, not what I have heard or what I have known. This was also NOTHING compared to me kissing Dragana! Caleb was roaring in my head, he rea

Beta Artemis POV The white lights above my head were blinding. I slowly opened my eyes and the sheer power of them nearly blinded me. I was slowly adjusting to it. The room was spacious, white, and smelled of cleaning chemicals. I must be in a hospital, I thought, trying to get my bearings, to orient myself and understand what was happening. Again, I struggled to open my eyes, but gradually things were falling into focus. I tried to get up, but noticed I was plugged into machines beeping. Turning to my right, I saw an unexpected person. Alpha King Jonathan. Technically, a former Alpha King. Yet, he was sitting in the chair next to my bed, looking intently at me. “You woke up son!” his deep voice rumbled, and I could tell he was relieved. “You gave us quite a scare there, my young buck!”, he chuckled. I tried to speak, but words were not coming to me. “Nurse”, Alpha roared, and soon, a diminutive, yet strong-willed she-wolf appeared. Her expression was that of no-nonsense. “Alpha King

Dragana POV The sun was shining brightly, the smell of seawater and sand hitting me as I was waking up. A large white canopy tent was around me, however, inside it looked more like an ornate and very elaborate living room. Beautify decorated red and gold cushions with intricate designs were everywhere. Fresh flowers of all kinds and glass and gold ornaments stood around me, catching the sun and sparkling in reflection. Crystal chandeliers were hanging as if suspended in mid-air by sheer willpower. I was laying down on a very large white and gold ottoman, a light blanket on me. I heard people and sensed their presence but really saw nothing. Sitting up, I was trying to recall where I was. “You have woken up child!”. I heard the voice belonging to Solomon, whom now I understood was my great grandfather, my family. “Where am I?”, I said groggily. “You passed out child, summoning and traveling through Silver Gate took a lot out of you”, he said with a smile, although I could sense concer

Alice POVSomething was wrong. Dark Lord Khor said he would feel the mate bond. As an Alpha, especially an Alpha King, the moment he felt the mate bond, I should have been fucked ten times from Sunday, and likely kept in his bedroom for days. Alpha werewolves could not resist the urge to mate and mark their fated one and if for one second the spell was indeed working, he would not be able to, regardless of the fact that he is an Alpha King and I was not his actual fated mate. Something happened and as a result I was not mated, and I was not marked! Something was most definitely wrong!!!!I know he was not my real mate, but Dark Lord never mentioned that Alpha King looked like sex on a stick! I would gladly jump on him at any moment, spread my legs, suck his cock, take him up my ass, whatever he wanted me to do, I would do it, even without the whole need to secure my pack, kill him at some point, and overtake his. He could be useful for a while, and boy was he good looking!!!!! I could
