"All these planets and stars make me hold my breath, but a glimpse of you always takes it away" ~ ~ ~ All Seraphina wanted was to successfully die at the hands of the world's most feared and powerful Lycan King, Ares Maximilian Dacre. However, she had not planned to be totally smitten by him at first glance and faint in the said person's arms. When she turns out to be his mate, the entire pack seems more than happy to welcome her, she becomes the owner of a strange stone, and the burden to save the world from destruction falls on her shoulders, she might have gained more than what she bargained for. Can Ares' love heal her broken heart and shattered soul and make her believe in love once again? ~ ~ ~ "It's not how I feel about you, but rather how I have never felt for anyone else. " ~ ~ ~ "I, Rowen, Alpha of the Hunter's Pack, reject Seraphina as my mate... " There was a pin drop silence in the hall as he proudly announced his rejection with a wide smile on his face. Pfft, this fool. Loud gasps filled the tensed air, as the most powerful person in this entire banquet came up behind me, wrapped his strong arms around my waist, and nestled his face in my neck. Shivers ran down my spine as I softly caressed his face. His authoritative stance and murderous eyes made everyone gulp in fear and shake in anticipation. "And I, Ares Maximilian Dacre, the Lycan King, claim Seraphina as my mate and promise to cherish and protect her, if anyone if so dares to look at her wrongly." His intense glare then fell on Rowen, who trembled pathetically. Oh how the tables turn!
"Ugh!" I plopped down on the ground, as exhaustion rolled off me in waves.
"I can't do it." I pouted while whining a little, falling flat on the cool marble floor of the huge training room.
My muscles were sore as a result of continuos training, and all I wanted to do this moment was to sleep in Ares' cold sheets.
"It's ok, you don't have to over exert yourself." Ares walked towards me from the side of the room, where he was providing me with instructions that I diligently followed.
.... ok, I tried.
But it wasn't working!
"For now, we know that stone increased your strength, speed, agility, and stealth. And if a person attacks you with their ability, you can use that ability to attack back."
He sat besides me on the ground and I laid my head on his thick thigh, making myself comfortable in his lap. He smooth fingers massaging my hair did wonders as I felt all the knots in my mind drifting away.
