Chapter 14

―β Yves―

My body felt a little stiff from our last night session. We make love once in the bed, and it was mind-blowing and next in the bathroom but, she felt stiffer and sorer. Last night when I went to the kitchen to get milk and cookies Rica appears nowhere startling me from hugging from the back and telling me that I was still in love with her. Minerva saw it, and I know deep inside that she was mad. She even threatened her and it sounds so selfish and sexy.

I can't help to smile when on the first day of the morning I smell her scent around me. I open my eyes when my hand can't find her body. I sat up rubbing my face. I gape when a Goddess stepped out of the bathroom. Water is still dripping on her body without any covers.

'Morning.' She said formally. I still can't take my eyes off from her naked body. Is she always like this? 'What?' she asked. I immediately stumble and run to the couch to get the towel I gave it to her and she gently tapped it on her face.

'I-ah... You wanted me to bring you breakfast here?' I stammer. She chuckled and walks closer to me. She dropped the towel and she wrapped her arms around my nape. Shit! Her breast is so close to me.

'Breakfast can wait...' she said seducing me. 'But, I can't wait.'

'Hmm... we can do something about that.' I carried her to bed and started kissing her wet neck. 'You smell so enticing...'

I lay on the bed and she straddled me on top. Then she levitates the towel and wiped her hair and her body while she's sitting on me. She pulls the duvet covering it on half of our body. I caress her body, admiring at how perfect it is. No tan lines, no freckles, and no marks. She held my wrists and pinned it above my head.

Someone knocked on the door and it opens. Minerva snapped her head to the door which is at her back. Her eyes are burning. The scent of the person on the door is familiar. Rica, what is she doing here?

'What do you want?' Minerva asked coldly.

'I-uhm... I just wanted to say sorry about last night. I was drunk and—'

'You can't just open the door without our permission. I don't need an apology in a moment like this. We are in the middle of something.' Wow, she was really cold. I took her hand and kissed it to keep her calm.

'Sorry.' She murmurs and closes the door.

Minerva's eyes are burning. Her aura changes into the fire.

'Did Rica do that often though she had her mate?' she asked me.

'Minerva, don't let her ruin our moment.'

'Just answer me!'

'Not specifically. She acted like a friend to me but it suddenly changes. I don't understand and I don't care. I had you.' I sat up kissing her lips. She avoids me. I sigh and roll my eyes. 'Please... I don't want you to be like that' I rubbed her sides.

'I am not in the mood now.' She slipped off from the bed and walks to the closet. She wore one of my shirts. 'The training will be in thirty minutes. Go take a bath.'

'Can you please join me?' I asked with puppy eyes. She just looks at me and she picks her phone.

'Yes, I'll be there.'

'Yes!' I said excitedly. I run to the bathroom ready for the shower. 'Boss, I am waiting here.'

Then after five minutes of waiting for her, she appears without anything. Just her naked body. I grin at her and wiggle my finger signing her to come closer. She rolled her eyes and took my hand.

After a washing session I got out first from the bathroom and I gaped at how clean my room is. Everything is in the perfect place. I looked at Minerva who is covered with a towel. She's wiping her hair now.

'Did you clean my room?'

'Yeah, who else would do it?' she wore the dress that is hanging at the back of the door after wearing her garnets. Someone knocks on the door and she opens it.

'Hi, sorry that I just got here. Zoë and Nathan will be here in a minute.' It was Dina with a bag. She peeks at me. 'Someone's having a good mood.' She winks.

'Hi!' I wave. 'Terence is in agony since the last time he saw you.'

'Really? I thought he's going to look around. Well, I will better get going.'

'Okay! Take care!' Dina and I are best friends now. Minerva closes the door and eyed me. 'Are you planning to move in here?' I asked excitedly.

'No. I will just stay here in a few days.' She put the bag on the edge of the bed. I started putting clothes on. She pulled hunting boots from the bag and wore it.

'You are going to the training?' I asked while putting my rubber shoes on.

'Yeah, don't you want me there?' she combed her hair.

'I want you there. But why are you still wearing white and a dress?' I wonder. If she is going into training, she should wear something warm and not that fashionable.

'I feel my strength in white.' She winks. Oh, I see.

'I rather choose you naked in front of me.' I walk to her and kissed her cheek.

'We don't have time for that.'

We walk downstairs to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Dina is there preparing breakfast. I hope it is for us. Then, Terence had stopped when he saw his mate. His eyes twinkle and run to her.

'Baby!' he wrapped his arms around her pulling her up and twirling her around.

'Put me down!' but Terence didn't. He hugged her tight giving kisses on cheeks, nose, cheeks, neck, and lips. 'I know you missed me but seriously, I am not in the mood!'

Terence put her down with wide smiles on his lips.

'What a reunion!' someone speaks from the back. It was Haney, Joshua, Zoë, and Nathan.

'Oh hey!' I greet.

'I wish to see nymph.' Zoë said with authority.

'As you wish your majesty.' Minerva said formally.

The enchantresses disappear in a snapped. They left us without a word. It is just only us, men. So, we help each other to make breakfast for our ladies. We keep on talking about the next Alpha on the next New Moon and about finding the compound. They all stopped and looked at me. They seemed in terror.

'What?' someone had mind link them that's why they look not good.

'Minerva is missing.' Nathan declares. I dropped the spoon and it clings on the counter.

We went to Marcus's house where Electra, the Queen, and other enchantresses are. Minerva is not there and they have been contacting her since they got there. Electra kept on fidgeting her fingers like she knows something and she's afraid of it. I move closer to Electra and she immediately moved away.

'Easy buddy!' Marcus said covering his arm. I sigh hysterically. I can't even mind linking my mate. I can't feel her around.

'Can you please tell me where my mate is? I know you knew something. Please, I am begging you.'

'Easy on it, Yves.' Nathan said. 'We are going to find her.'

'She-Helena... she is blocking her ability to teleport.' Electra stammers. 'She is controlling Minerva's ability just to get her out of the way. She's been doing it ever since she poisoned her.'

'You mean that all this time that we have been teleporting, we landed in different places not directly to the place that we wanted is because Helena is controlling it all this time?' I asked her. She nods. So it makes sense when we teleport together and we landed in the Dark Moon compound. 'She might be in the Dark Moon compound! Let's find her there!'

'Wait!' Zoë said. 'We can't just go there.'

'That compound makes us ill.' Haney speaks. 'The negative energy is pulling our ability and we might die there.'

'She might die there too if we didn't rescue her literally!' I argued.

'Okay, here's the plan. Since we had Electra with us we can't just go there. It was too risky and we might lose each other.'

'Love, teleport us near the compound, where you think that you guys are safe. Then we are going to find Minerva there.' Nathan said.

'I will grab some daggers.' Joshua said exiting the room.

The Alpha permits us to find Minerva. I am worried sick about her. She might die there. What if there's an unstable werewolf there and attack her? I hope that she is fine. Gray keeps on sniffing on their air just to find her. I can't find her scent.

'You boys ready?' Zoë asked. We nod and hold hands together. In a snapped we are in a cold forest with thick snow around.

'This is the nearest we can be.' Dina said. 'Find her as soon as possible and if there's no sign of her mind link us.'

'Okay.' We nod.

'Marcus, stay here to guard them.' Nathan orders.

'Yes, your majesty.'

Nathan kissed Zoë on the lips. Terence and Joshua did too to their mates.

'Be careful and bring her back here.' Zoë said.

'Yes, love.' Nathan kissed her again.

'We don't have much time.' I immediately run to where the compound was located. I don't have time to see them kissing saying to take care.
