Amara's pov. He dropped Fiona with Grace, she had fallen asleep again and it was like she only woke up because cause she sensed him in the house. I played with the puppy Orian a bit and made sure she was okay before leaving her behind and going with Orian out of the house.We got out and he led me to the other buildings in the compound which served as houses for the orphans.As we got in through the big oak doors, I could already tell that a lot was invested to build the place. Its interior was like that of a typical manor with a huge living room that had comfy low cushions in it, because of the kids.I walked around the living room admiring the designs and the way it was arranged. There was an entrance on one end that led to a smaller room where the television was placed. I could see the toys scattered all over the place and the Television was left on, kids. And again, how did Orian get technology all the way here? The fireplace still had embers burning and ab

Amara's pov"I am going to drop you, hard." Orian whispered, "When I do, roll dramatically like you are hurt and reach into my boots. Pull out a knife and go to the castle, through the back entrance. Don't look back and if anyone should accost you, kill them."He didn't give me time to absorb his instructions. I was released and I landed on the grass with a thud. I did as he requested, as fast as I could. I got it out, jumped to my feet, and grabbed puppy Orian before making my way toward the castle.It was going to be hard not looking back. What if they try to harm him? Who would protect him? They saw us together and they were not happy with it. They might try to kill him because it looks like he broke the blood oath and- Gosh! I couldn't stop overthinking and I fought the urge to look bad as well as I could.I went in through the back entrance and considered going around to enter the castle properly. But then, I didn't know my way around here well, and if they came with their warrio

Orian's pov I pulled the covers on her, withdrawing a bit as she stirred and placed her arm under her chin. When she settled again, I reached out my hand, threading my fingers through her silky blonde locks, and began to stroke her hair, a small smile forming on my lips when she leaned into my giving me more way to the full length of her hair and I took advantage of it, running my fingers through her hair as it flowed down her back.I got bolder when she let out a low moan, my fingers traveling from her hair to her face. Grazing across her forehead and brows. I trailed the bridge of her nose and sampled the softness of her cheeks before running my thumb across her jaw.My fingers creeped her lips, tracing the seam of the soft rosy flesh imagining how sublime it would be if I was to lean in and kiss her. I brought my thumb to the small part between the lips pushing in slightly and she moved to capture my thumb in her mouth, wrapping her lips around it.What is she dre

Orian's pov There was only one thing on my mind as I took a scalding hot shower, wincing as water met with the unhealed scars on my back.Amara's safety.I wasn't comfortable leaving her here unprotected while getting out of the castle grounds and even with the extra security measures I would have to take, I will still be concerned about her getting harmed while I was away.I know she can fight but in this situation, it was different. She's a deep sleeper and I fear she might react too late if danger was to come, giving the enemy the upper hand, hopefully, her wolf would be more alert than she is and protect her human.I got out of the bathroom naked with my towel hung around my neck and hair dripping wet. I didn't mind the cold air that kissed my bare skin which would cause any other person to shiver but I was immune to it.I passed by the broken mirror at the dressing table, not once glancing at it so I wouldn't catch a reflection of myself even in its broken st

Orian's pov I had to let myself in Nexus's home after being ignored despite ringing the doorbell severally. My guess for his unacknowledgment of my arrival was him being still mad at me and it was understandable.I called his name a couple of times and made my way to the sitting room which was surprisingly empty as it was his favorite spot in the house, especially at night. The television was on, displaying some archaic white and black movie. I picked the remote with an eye roll and put it off.I proceeded toward the stairs making my way to the sitting room on the first floor as he would most probably be there.I set foot into it and froze in shock at the sight before me, my insides twisting with mere disgust and my brain scarred yet again.Nexus was on one of the seats, his head was thrown back with the weirdest of noises coming from him, and a dark-haired woman was on her knees before him with her mouth where he wanted as he moved her head.They were both stark
