LYKOS' POVI heard my men approach from behind me but raised a hand, an order for them to stand down. "I'll handle it. Leave us."Fortunately, she'd missed a vein by the skin of my teeth but regardless, I still would have healed pretty quickly. Everything was under my control. Surprisingly, I was even more bothered about what had prompted such violent outburst than the bloodied look of my outfit or the state of my health. In only the short moment I'd spent with her, I was willing to carry the cross in her stead. I was as good as whipped.The wolf retreated, and she took control of her body, with a mortified expression across her features when her eyes scanned my body. It was an instinctive move, reaching out to pull her terrified frame into my arms even when she remained frozen to a spot. I still felt the tremors from the aftershocks of the nightmare and I concluded that her state of mind was all that mattered. She could be clawing into my skin now and I wouldn't bat an eyelid as lo

LYKOS' POVI returned back to the cabin just in time to see Martin retreating into his corner and Neilla smiling so wide. She was so busy stuffing her face with food that she didn't notice me, which only had me wondering the last time she had a proper meal. I slowed my steps to a stop and watched her eat heartily. It was an addictive sight.I could list offhand a number of she-wolves who tried to act prim and proper by opting for smaller portions of foods or eating vegetables and salads. Wolves were created with a healthy ravenous appetite for food, so it only irritated me when werewolves attempted to control their cravings. However, Neilla didn't seem to care one bit. I wanted to attribute it to her pups but that wasn't it. She really was famished. When she finally noticed me, her smile only grew wider."Looks like Martin has been taking good care of you." I commented, emerging out of the shadows to take a seat opposite her. Even without a word, the twinkle in her eyes was all the e

LYKOS' POVI walked out towards the cockpit for the last time since Neilla fell asleep several hours ago, engaging in light-hearted conversations with the pilots. Unlike what people thought of Alphas, I was carved different; with a knack of ensuring comfortability of whoever served under me. From the pilot, I learned that approximately, we had less than an hour to land which also meant that we were already close to my palace which stood out proudly in the area of Kolonaki. I strolled back out, catching the heavenly scent of Neilla and letting it pull me back to the cabin where she was. She stirred awake at my entrance, eyes puffed and red. She yawned, rubbing her eyes tiredly."We're still flying?" She pushed the blankets I'd wrapped around her legs out of the way."Yes. We have a few minutes before landing and then I'll officially be welcoming you into my home properly." I found myself picking the window seat adjacent to her. It was an excuse to have a perfect glimpse of her beautif

LYKOS' POVFuck! Now I was acting like a jealous obsessed prick, a fucking possessive lover. For how long would I be able to withstand the pressure of not coming on strongly to her? It wasn't just my primal needs, it was also the involvement of the mate bond. She might not be feeling the same pull because her wolf decided to keep her away from the truth for the time being.Until then, being the only one fueled with such obsession was maddening. Trying not to show my natural attraction to her was one thing and fighting those feelings so she could heal was on another level of discipline. Patience, discipline; two virtues I lacked the most. One could only imagine how I snagged position of Alpha. Well, that was called simple tactics. As future leader, one would be required to be as lethal and ruthless to defend one's pack and take what one needed else one would have to face the risk of losing. On the basis of that, I could decide to claim her whenever I wanted. It wasn't something that

NEILLA'S POVI stepped out of the bathroom, which by the way, completely stole my breath away with mirrors everywhere I turned. Having a warm bath seemed to put me in much better mood than before; a smile gracing my face as I sat on the chair in front of the vanity. A small knock sounded at the door, startling me suddenly. I pulled the bathrobe tightly around my waist, making extra knots to keep it secure from loosening."Lykos, is that you?" I called out, suddenly feeling nervous for the outcome if the person at the door wasn't him."It's not." The voice was feminine, a sultry voice capable of holding one captive with just a syllable. The door opened and in she came, slowly making her way to where I was."Hi. I'm sorry, Lykos didn't tell me he'd be sending in anyone." She looked a tad bit familiar. I couldn't place my finger on it yet. She stepped closer, further into the light until it illuminated her short black hair, perfectly straight nose and captivating blue eyes. I did a men
