《Her Dark Lycan》 Chapter 1: authors note Chapter 1: authors note hello darlings, I¡¯m new on this app and I was given the golden opportunity to put up my work here, I C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. hope you all love the story and give it your love and support, peace outt Chapter 2: prologue Chapter 2: prologue "Yes alpha, the pack has been finished, though i must say Alpha Josh did put up a fight," the new pack member reported, standing at attention in front of their alpha, as he stood in front of the ss windows, his back to them, staring out at the dark cloudy skies, ones in likeness to his soul, dark, dark and angry. As the rumbling of the clouds indicated that a storm was soon toe, as their alpha stood straight, the broad expanse of his shoulders blocking their view of what was outside, and his tall frame of 6''3 didn''t help either, as he wore a dark suit, his entire look sharp. His hands behind his back, showing light glimpses of the many tattoos that were hidden under his jacket, as the fabric around his arms stretched, trying to hold in the rippling muscle underneath that threatened to break free. His hair, ended right above his nape, as they looked messy from him running his rough tan hands through them. He then turned around, assessing his warriors that had brought them news, both of them were in their 20''s tall and built, but they couldn''tpare to their alpha. His hair was in likeness to his thick brows, dark, as dark as midnight, as dark as a starless night sky. While his features were sharp and hard, his jaw was square and chiseled, with a light stubble on it, his cheekbones were high and wide, his nose straight, his lips firm and full, and his skin tan. His prating gaze left the best of men trembling under his dark gaze. "Is there anything else alpha?" The warrior asked, trying to keep his voice strong. "Was there anything else that needed my attention?" He asked, his voice deep and rich, carrying authority in it. It was then that the curious new pack member lifted his gaze, and for the first time looked into his alphas eyes, They say eyes are the window to the soul, the trembling warrior didn''t know what to say after he looked into his superiors eyes. One of his eye was a dark cier blue, like looking into the depths of the ocean, like being drowned by tidal waves, the iris had a thin ck ring surrounding it, like that of darkness surrounding the silver of the moon. The other however, was a warm green with flecks of gold around the pupil, the kind of gold that looked like droplets of the sun. Ice and fire, such beautiful contradictions, and they were staring right at the frozen warrior, waiting for his answer. His eyes framed by thick and darkshes, adding to his allure. The other warrior next to him, cleared his throat to get the attention of his new friend who seemed to be rooted to his ce and tongue tied, to save himself from the impatient alphas wrath, he answered for his dear friend instead, "No alpha, that was all," he said, his head slightly bent with respect. The alpha nodded curtly and both the warriors left. Dante Enzo Salvatore, alpha of the Dark Crescent pack, one of the most biggest and fiercest pack ever known, feared by all. After the death of his parents, at the age of 19, he took the rightful ce as alpha, with his own blood and sweat he raised the pack to what it was now, he was dark, cold and ruthless, now at the age of 28 he was still mateless, some called it a curse for his dark doings, destroying packs who didn''t do as he wished. He was also a lycan. The alpha only believed in a few things and love, was not one of them. He gave up on ever finding a mate, he never wanted one. He bedded women when he desired for them to tend to his carnal needs, and that was all, no attachments. A good fuck was enough. No one ever questioned him, and the ones who did, didnt live to see tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- She walked down the muddied forest floor, clutching the straps of her back pack, today the weather didn''t seem as pleasant as it did the day before, the clouds were rumbling, warning her to find shelter. She had escaped and it had been two days since, walking around human towns, trying to find somewhere to live to spend the night and start her journey the next day, hoping to find refuge in a pack where she could blend in and not be noticed, and try to carry on with life. Her old pack, Blood Moon pack had been attacked by the Dark Crescent pack, all her pack members including her uncle were now dead. She didn''t mind. The pack had been nasty to her, treating her like filth, she had been demoted to omega for no reason, and she was in the hands of her uncle ever since her parents had died in a fire, her uncle was an abusive drunk, at the age of 20 she had no freedom, she would be beaten by her uncle and mocked by her pack members, she had no friends, and she still hadn''t found her mate, normally werewolves found their mates when they turned 18, but that wasn''t so for Venus Harrison. At the night of the attack, she escaped, with the help of the moon goddess who guided her, answering her prayers. She walked into a gas station, bought some snacks for the way and walked to the bathroom, as she washed her hands she looked up into the mirror, she looked better,pared to the days back in her old pack, the bruises on her body had vanished, as she assessed her features, satisfied with how she looked. Her warm beige coloured skin was clear, except for the light freckles under her eyes, her nose was small, and her lips pink and plump, her brows were arched and in likeness to her hair, a beautiful shade of pecan brown, her eyes were a hickory as rich as the earths soil, stained with the color of hot chocte on a cold day, they were a deep earthy brown, but as when the sun rays touched them they were copper against honey and when they watered they glowed like two perfect orbs the same shade as nature after it rains. Her eyes were framed by thick and longshes, making them more stunning upon ones eye, as she ran her soft hands through her locks, as she then gathered her waist length straight hair into a pony tail. As she straightened her shirt that had slight wrinkles to them, her hour ss figure mostly called unwanted attention from men, as the unmated males in the pack tried to get a taste of her but she was stronger in fighting back. Her breasts were in perfect proportion to her, while her stomach was t and her waist was small, and her hips then rounded as they the led to long shapely legs that were now epassed by dark washed jeans. Her feminine frame of 5''6 was slightly different from other she wolves, that were lightly muscled and toned and were slightly taller. As Venus grabbed her stuff and made her way to her destination, in hopes of finding the peace that was taken from her. -----------------------------------------------------------N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Vote andment! Peace out. chapter 3 chapter 3 It had been an entire week ever since she had found out Dante was her mate and ever since she had been living with him in the mansion. After James and Sophia cajoled him, Dante finally gave into letting Venus out of her room, and allowing her to walk around. The both of them even took Venus shopping for clothes, shoes and other necessities to a mall. Her routine was quiet simple, wake up, join Dante for breakfast which consisted on no conversing from both sides, then she would walk around the gardens, James after finding out that Venus knew how to paint insisted on buying her the tools. So she painted when she felt, then she would have lunch, chit chat with Mary andter Sophia and James would hang out with her, or they would take her out with them. Venus also had learnt over thest week that despite the scary look that Knox painted he was an utter sweetheart, he was very protective and possessive of Sophia, while Gabriel didn''t show much emotion in front of others, he was very yful when he was with his close friends, like the other day Venus was walking down the corridor only to see James and Gabriel in a heated make out session, when she squeaked she got their attention, James covered his face in his hands while Gabriel smirked and pped his ass which led to Venus running to her room like her life depended on it. On the other hand with Dante, there was no avail. She barely saw him, and when she did he would walk past her as if she didn''t even exist, it tore at her heart but she didn''t let it show, her wolf was exhausted, from theck ofmunication from the human side, what kept Kaya going was that Dantes lycan, Lorenzo, was more than willing to mark and mate her as Kaya had exined to Venus, she said that when Lorenzo reached out to her, he told Kaya to stay, not to leave him. It made Venus ache seeing that her wolf and his lycan wanted to be together but because of hers and Dantesck ofmunication they were suffering. Lorenzo as Kaya exined only showed emotion to her, he was very possessive of her, he made her feel safe. _____________________________________ The next day Venus woke up, she had slept of 9 hours straight but she still felt tired and restless, she moved out of bed and into the shower, walked out and wore a shorts dungaree with a ck top under and ck adidas shoes. She let her hair loose expect made a lil bun on the top of her head. She walked down to the kitchen and the sight at greeted her made her stop short. A tall, beautiful redhead, stood in the kitchen, making pancakes, wearing nothing but a shirt that did not belong to her. It was Dantes shirt. Venus suddenly felt numb ... He was sleeping around. The stunning redhead turned around and her eyes connected with bright azure coloured eyes, she was stunning, with full lips, slender legs, and the body of a Victoria Secret model. Venus swallowed the lump in her throat, her head hurt. The redhead smiled widely at Venus, it was polite. "Well hello there, i haven''t seen you here before," she spoke, her voice soft and very feminine. Venus forced a smile onto her face, as she repeated to herself in her head, Its going to be okay, he''s not yours, you''re not his, he can do whatever, smile, be polite, be polite. "Hey, yes I''m actually ah- a friend of Sophia''s, i will be staying here for a while," venus said, smiling at the woman in front of her. "Oh i see," she said, frowning lightly, but never letting her smile waver. "Oh I''m sorry where are my manners, I''m Ariana, I''m Dantes mate, i was just cooking up his breakfast, can i get you anything?" Venus felt her resolve crack, if someone shot her in the heart it would had done less damage than what she felt at this moment, tears stung her eyes but she tried blinking them away, Ariana just looked away when a tear fell, and Venus quickly wiped it away. "No I''m good thank you," venus said, keeping her voice strong. Ariana hummed and continued making a series of delicious foods, while Venus sat on a chair next to the kitchen counter. She couldn''t be the mate for Dante, Ariana was, and apparently he had already chosen her, of course it was her, she was stunning, she was all the one would want in a luna, she was perfect, perfect for him. Why would he want me, i don''t me him, Venus thought, chuckling bitterly internally, she was in. She heard footsteps and both girls looked up to see Dante walk down the stairs, freshly showered, wearing a ck tee shirt that hugged his torso deliciously while he wore ck jeans with a pair of ck nike shoes. His eyes trailed down to the scene in front of him, Ariana in his shirt cooking, giving him a big smile and Venus sitting in front of her, looking at him with wide using eyes, but it vanished and her face went nk. Her eyes darkened, her wolf was trying to push through. Kaya was growling loudly in her head, how dare he, how dare he disrespect the both of them by bringing a girl in the presence of his mate, fucking his whore in the same house his damn mate was, he really didn''t give a fuck about her. Venus felt as if she was about to burst, Kaya was pushing through and she couldn''t stop her. Her eyes darkened, all while looking at Dante, who had a frown on his face. Venus sprinted out of her chair and ran as fast as she could out of the kitchen and out the front door. Dante followed her quick enough to see her jump off the front porch and shift into her wold midair, her clothes tore right apart. As he watched a pecan coloured wolf run across the gardens and disappear into the woods, he sighed. A pair of arms wrapped around his torso, he looked around to see Ariana with a seductive smile on her pink lips. His lycan Lorenzo was angered that Dante would do such a thing to Venus, let another girl into the house with his mate in it. "Baby we didn''tplete what we startedst night," she purred. Dante looked out the front door again, as if looking out for something, he then looked at Ariana, cupped her face roughly and mmed his lips onto hers. Kissing her passionately, a hard demanding kiss, as Ariana moaned. She wrapped her arms around him, running her finger tips across his ink covered thick arms. ________________________________ Venus was quiet, she let Kaya take control, as she watched from the back of her mind. She didn''t feel like shifting back and facing reality. After a while she made way to James house, she remembered his house from when he took her there. She ran her paws across the wooden door, hoping it would catch their attention, she didn''t have clothes to wear if she shifted back. The door opened to see a sleepy Gabriel, he looked down to see a beautiful pecan coloured wolf, smiling wolfishly at him. Venus. He rolled his eyes and let her in, gave her one of James spare shirt which she put on, it reached her knees. Just in time James came down, "Venus, oh what a lovely surprise!" He eximed, hugging her. She hugged him back half heartedly. He sensed something was wrong. "Venus, what is it?" James asked, rubbing her back soothingly. "Do you know Ariana?" Venus asked, her voice thick with emotion. Gabriel who had been watching the whole ordeal while leaning against the door, stiffened when he heard the she-wolfs name. Shes the girl that dante had recently started bedding. He didnt think she would be a problem now that Venus was Dantes mate! "What did you say," Gabriel grunted out. "Ariana, I-I came down this morning, she was in the kitchen, wearing Dantes shirt-" and tears started streaming down her face. Gabriel and James shared the same wide eyed look, cheating upon a mate was a disrespect not only to the mate but to the mood goddess and it was highly frowned upon. "Oh sweetie, that dickhead, I''m so sorry," james said with sympathy, holding Venus as she cried, heartbreaking sobs wracked her body. Not even a week after she had found her mate and here she was, a broken mess. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Gabriel came and patted Venus on the back, this courageous girl was supposed to be their luna, ever since she had step foot into the pack, it was an instinct for all pack members to be protective of her, making sure no one harmed the luna, even if most of them didn''t know, it was a natural instinct. "Venus i think i have an idea," Gabriel said thoughtfully. Venus wiped her tears, her doe eyes bloodshot. "What is it?" She asked, looking at the Gamma who now had a master n forming in his mind. "Well ...," he trailed off. _______________________________ Hello darlings, Well damn, i love Gabriel really, so yes another update, show your love. Vote andment Peace out. chapter 4 chapter 4 "Venus Harrison, shut your trap before i shut it for you," James hissed. James was a professional makeup artist, and at the moment he was holding down Venus so he could make the wing liner perfect, Venus on the other hand felt that it waspletely unnecessary to stab her eyes with the ck pointed pen, mascara was more than enough. The day after the entire incident with Dante, Sophia, James, Venus and even Gabriel were giving the alpha the silent treatment. Gabriel would only talk to him when necessary, while Venus acted as if he didn''t even exist. She has spent the night with James, when the next morning she returned back to the mansion the first thing she saw was a fuming Dante. He growled when he set eyes on the stubborn girl that had him worried, that she had been taken or worst killed,st night he had called James asking him where Venus was, the young man lied straight through his teeth and said he didn''t know, when Venus was sitting in front of him enjoying hot Cheetos while watching ck Panther. And so he thought something had happened to her, and then the sight of her in a mans shirt, with bare legs and bed hair, the gold specks in his green eyes red while the ck ring around his ocean blue eyes darkened. His lycan wanted blood. As venus recalled the events of that day. "Where the fuck have you been?" Dante boomed, grabbing her by the shoulders firmly. "Uh does it matter?" Venus asked, shrugging indifferently. He wrapped his thick tattooed arms around her waist and brought her up against his chest, his hot breath fanning her neck. As he dipped his head into the crook of her neck, and took a deep breath, growling loudly at what he found. She had been with James, the stupid boy had the audacity to lie to his face. "The next time you tell me where you are going, understood," he said, his jaw ticking with anger. His arms were still tightly around her waist and Venus was avoiding his beautiful eyes, he was too close. He took her chin between his rough fingers, gently yet firmly and made her look at him. "Answer my question Venus, just because I''ve allowed you to walk around does not mean you decide to spend the night else where, i was wo-" Dante cut short, when he realised what he was about to say, disgusted he let go of her as if she had caught fire. "You were what huh, you were worried, oh please save the lies for someone who believes them, like you''ve made clear i am not your mate and nor are you mine, so lets mind our own business, alpha," venus let out through gritted teeth. How dare he say that he was worried when he had been nothing but an ass and a disrespectful cheating bastard all this time. With that venus turned on her heel and headed up the stairs, "Venus change that shirt," a deep voicemanded from downstairs. She whipped her head around to see him giving her the ''if you don''t do it there will be consequences'' look, one that a mother would give to a child. Venus huffed, flipped her hair behind her shoulder and walked towards her room, her hips swaying unconsciously. As the annoyed alpha downstairs tried to keep his heated coloured eyes away from his tempting mate. His lycan was itching to grab her by her thick hips with his rough hands, bend her over and fuck her till the only thing she could say was his name. __________________________________ "God it literally took me 15 minutes to do your eye liner girl, what the heck!" James eximed, fanning Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g himself dramatically. After begging and cajoling and seducing (James and Sophia did to their mates), the three amigos were finally given permission to go out clubbing. When Dante found out, he opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it and turned on his heel and walked away. At the moment, James was ready and was finishing up Venus makeup. While Sophia was downstairs with her mate who at this moment was rubbing his scent all over her to keep the unwanted males away, Venus did not want to know how. James was wearing a fancy crop top with leather pants and boots, his makeup on point, the blood red lipstick making him look exotic, while Sophia was wearing a dark blue dress with a halter neckline, her back on disy, it ended above her knees and was skin tight, it made her look ssy and elegant but sexy. While venus was wearing a white dress, that was mid thigh, showing her back. She did not want to wear it but James and Sophia insisted otherwise, she finished her look off with white heels She did not want to wear it but James and Sophia insisted otherwise, she finished her look off with white heels. Sophia after finally gracing her presence, reeked of Knox and the flush on her face showed just what the couple had been up to. The three of them walked down the stairs, after James finally finished Venus''s nude look. The three males that were lounging in the living room snapped their heads up upon hearing the clicking of heels. The three of them looked stunning, while Gabriel and Knox were drooling over their mates. Dante was ... Speechless, she looked like a goddess walking down the stairs, her hair up into a bun while the dress she wore assented her curves. Every step she took her dress hitched up a bit, showing glimpses of her upper thighs, Lorenzo was in a frenzy, throwing images of her wet and naked and moaning, with her legs wrapped around his waist into Dantes head, who growled at him to stop. The deadly lycan had turned into a love sick puppy. As they stood in front of their mates, Venus suddenly felt shy, she had seen his look of shock when he saw her, and now he was just staring at her nkly, James and Sophia gave Venus a knowing look. Now the three of them were off to a human club, when they entered the scent of sweat, drinks and lust hit them, hard. They tried not gagging, soon they were on their 5th tequ shots. Werewolves were immune to alcohol, onlyrge amounts of consumption would make them tipsy. "Oh my God this is the most fun I''ve had in a while," Sophia slurred, holding her drink in her hand as she swayed to the beat. James was holding onto Venus for dear life as he murmured about how hot it was and he wanted to take his leather pants off, while Venus wasughing for no reason. A handsome guy with curly hair and chestnut coloured eyes walked up to Venus and asked her for a dance, and she found herselfparing him to a beautiful man with chiseled features and tattooed covered arms. Thinking of him she realised of his doings in her presence and it made her angry, if he could do whatever he wanted then so could she, he has already taken Ariana as his mate anyways so she had no business with him. She took his hand and they walked towards the danced floor, he ced his hands on her hips and she put hers on his shoulders as they started swaying to the beat, as she danced on him, all the while her mind on a set of ocean blue and forest green eyes. As the human pressed his front to her back, grinding onto her. Suddenly a pair of big rough tattooed hands grabbed onto Venus and pulled her dunk form flush against a hard chest. "What the hell man, i was dancing with her," a voice said behind her, trying to get a hold of her. As the person holding her pulled her closer to his chest, growling loudly, as he picked Venus up bridal style and headed out the club, the warmth this person provided offered morefort than 5 tequ shots ever could, as she shut her eyes and hummed in pleasure, cuddling close to her source of warmth. His chest rumbled and Venus giggled. "Oh do-do that again it was f-funny," she said, smiling through her hups. She was then ced in car, "What, what are you doing my friends-" her drunk rambling was cut off by a finger ced on her soft lips and shortly after a deep voice assured. "They''re okay, sleep now amore," as a pair of warm lips pressed against her forehead. "O-okay," Venus whispered, and soon after she was fast asleep. _________________________________ Hello darlings, Another chap, oh myy who is that. I really cant wait for the next chapter,ing soon. Also we have hit 1K on my other book HIS ROSE, check that out too, show your love. Vote andment Peace out chapter 5 chapter 5 Rays of the sun passed through the window, awaking Venus from her sleep, as she rubbed her eyes and groaned when a sharp pain sliced through her head. She opened her eyes and was met with an unfamiliar surrounding. This was not her room. The potent smell that evaded her room told her exactly who''s it was, the scent of woods and mint cocooned her. She was in Dantes room. She sat up and stretched, swung her legs out the bed, only to feel cool air kiss her bare legs. She was in a ck tee shirt, also Dantes. Her cheeks turned crimson at the thought of him changing her clothes, it also made her ufortable. The door to the bathroom swung open to reveal her mate in all his glory, the only thing that stopped him from being entitled as ''naked'' was the loose towel that was tied dangerously low on his hips, revealing the V and she dared not look down. As droplets of water cascaded down his sculpted body, his tattoos she realised covered both his arms, and entwined at his chest, just above his pecks, grazing them slightly. His abdomen that was oozing with muscle made Venus gulp. Chiseled was every part of his sinful body, thick muscled thighs and shins that made her do a double take. Fuck. Venus tried to control her body''s reaction, wishing that the scent of her evident lust would conceal itself. Dante closed his eyes and took a deep whiff, due to his sharp alpha senses, he didn''t miss the new scent that had evaded the room. His eyes opened, Venus eyes shed with his dark pools of pitch ck, his lycan. He licked his lips, and stared at her. She looked fucking ravishing in his tee that reached just above her knees, bare legs on disy, and since the shirt was bunched up she shed him with her upper thighs, thick stunning thighs and Dante longer to have them thrown over his shoulders to he could fuck her in such positions that she''d be seeing the stars. He growled lowly, and Venus shot out of the bed, hoping to run to the safety of her room. But the dark alpha had other ns. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. Just when she was about to open the door, arge hand shot out, twisted around her waist, turning her and pulling her up against the wall of his hard chest, her back pressed against the door, his other hand was inches above her head on the door behind her. Her breathing was as ragged as his. Venus couldn''t tell is she was frightened or turned on. But the alpha that was holding her captive, was definitely ready to throw her onto the bed and put her to the use the moon goddess intended her for. "Dante wha-" she was cut off when his head ducked into her neck and nuzzled her, close to the ce where she was to be marked. "You smell like heaven mate," Dante growled, taking a deep whiff. Venus felt tingles run down her spine, the tempting ones. "Dante let me go," she demanded trying to keep her voice firm as she pushed against the hard wall of his chest, she realised it was a mistake when her hands touched his hard tanned chest. This time there was no mistaking the evidence of his arousal that was pressing between her thighs, dangerously close to her core. He shoved her hands into his wet hair, and started peppering kisses along her neck and jaw, Venus moaned lightly, that turned more wanton when he started sucking and nibbling on her skin, biting slightly and then running his tongue over it to ease the slight sting. Now venus was clutching his wet dark locks tightly while streaks of pleasure were shooting through her body, her moans getting louder with ever suck. As Dante basked in the sounds his sexy mate emitted from her tempting pink lips, growling low in his throat, appreciating it. He then moved his lips up, kissing her temple, her ear, her cheek, and the side of her mouth. Venus was lost in his arms, his ardour made her tremble and she couldn''t find it in herself to stop her mate from his sinfully intoxicating doings. His hands slid down her waist, then teasingly he ran one thick finger over her derri¨¨re, she moaned frustratingly, and he chuckled deeply in his throat, his chest rumbling, as he continued his assault on her ear, running his tongue over the crease of her ear, biting down gently on her lobe. As he then cupped his big hands around her thick derri¨¨re, loving the feel of them in his hands, they were made for him. Squeezing them as Venus held onto him tighter and then giving each cheek a hard p, Venus moaned from both pleasure and pain. She was never into the kinky smacking stuff, Dante was surely taking her out of herfort zone and making her like it. His lips then moved across her heated cheeks, hovering over her lips, he leaned down, his hooded eyes filled with lust, while Venus watched, fascinated by his show of carnal desire for her. His eyes then moved up to her eyes, and as if something inside him suddenly snapped he let go of her as if she had caught fire. He ran his hands through his hair in frustration and looked at her neck that was covered in love bites, her ample chest heaving up and down, her face flushed and her body warm, she looked throughly ravished. "Fuck, that shouldn''t have happe-" and before Dante could finish his sentence, a hand collided with his cheek. The sound of a loud p reverberated across the big room. Dante looked up to see wide doe eyes looking at him with fury. "How-how dare you," Venus choked out. Her chest was on fire. He was all over her a while ago and now he was openly rejecting her. His eyes darkened with rage, he was an alpha, he didn''t take anyones disrespect. "Touch me again like that Venus and i swear on the moon goddess i will t-" Dantes threat was cut off when Venus pushed against his chest, surprised he moved back slightly. "No, NO," venus shouted. "I will not take anymore of this fucking bullshit, I''ve had enough, you''ve insulted me in more ways than one, you suddenly cant have a attack of consciousness and realise that everything you did was a mistake, i cant take this anymore, IT HURTS, DAMN YOU IT HURTS SO FUCKING MUCH, GODDESS I WISH I WASN''T CURSED WITH A MATE LIKE YOU, CHOOSING ANOTHER AS YOUR MATE WHILE I WAS RIGHT THERE." Venus shouted, as tears streamed down her face, hurt and pain etched on every fibre of her being. But she wasn''t finished. "Goddess," Venus chuckled bitterly, looking up and shaking her head. "What have i done ... what did i do to get you as a mate?" She asked, her eyes bloodshot. Heavy, thick silence filled the room. "i fucking hate you," she said, in a soft painful whisper. Dante visibly flinched, shock and hurt shing through his features upon her words. A feeling had him rooted, it made his heart wrench, guilt. As she shook her head at hisck of response, and red at him and ran out the room. She ran into the shower, tearing at his shirt, tears running down her face as sobs wracked her body, as she turned on the shower, running the soap over her body roughly, wanting to rid herself of his scent. Her eyes clenched shut, she wrapped her hands around herself, and slid against the ss door, onto the tiled cold floor, the water mixing with her salty tears. He didn''t even introduce her to the pack as a member, let alone as his mate. She felt so unworthy and useless. Two more days, she''d wait, and then if she found the opportunity, she would run, run from this cursed pack, away from him. ______________________________ Venus sat in her bed, reading a book, to divert her mind from the incidents that had happened, it was 2 in the afternoon now. She was in her sweatpants and a big hoodie. A knock made her look up, and Mary came in, a tray in her hands. Venus smiled weakly at the elderly woman. "Alpha said you didn''t have breakfast, you should eat, its noon now, and these are tablets for your headache." Mary exined, smiling at the young girl. Venus felt rage consume her body, how dare he. "Im not hungry Mary thank you, you can take this away," venus said, trying to keep her tone polite, that damn alpha. "Oh no you must eat," Mary insisted. Venus sighed, not wanting to offend the lovely woman. "Mary may i ask who changed mest night," venus mumbled, drinking the juice. "Oh yesst night the alpha came in the housete, carrying you and you were well, asleep. He took you to his room then called me to change your clothes," Mary said, giggling like a school girl. "Wait-wait, WHAT?" Venus screeched. Disbelief on her face. "Well yes, afterwards he then checked up on you again, and he slept in the guest room," Mary said, as if saddened by the thought of them not sleeping together. Venus looked horrified. Patting her head, Mary then walked out, but not before voicing her thoughts, "Forgive her for intruding, but ... I know that you and the alpha are mates," Mary said, chuckling at the surprised look on Venus face. "Don''t look so surprised, i can recognise mates from anywhere, the point is, i know the alpha may be ... hard to understand, but if you see closely, even he''s in need of love and affection, despite the cold facade he has on, he wants it too, i haven''t missed the look of longing that shes through his eyes he gives when you''re not looking, give him a chance, you''ll grow to love him," with that said Mary left Venus to her messed thoughts. Later in the evening, Venus carried her heavy limbs down the stairs. She walked into the library, got a few books, and a snack from the kitchen, then making her way upstairs. A voice had her stop short. "Baby please, i need you," a high pitched annoying voice whines. Venus followed the voice to see Ariana, Her hands around Dante, peppering kisses on his jaw, then making way to his lips. __________________________ Hello darlings, No it is not Friday but i wanted to surprise y''all with an update, so ...

She pushed through, and controlled Venus body. Despite Venus attempts to try to gain back control there was no avail, Kaya wanted blood, and what she wanted she got. "Get your filthy hands off him you mutt!" Kaya growled ferociously, her eyespletely zed over. Ariana gasped in surprise and then looked at Dante who had the same look before he masked it skilfully. "Babyy, you''re going to let her talk to me like that?" Ariana whined, looking expectantly at Dante who was looking straight at Venus, his face nk. "I said get your hands off him," Kaya growled, this time a clear warning in her voice, promising deadly consequences. Ariana, slightly startled pulled her hands away from the alpha and now red at Venus. "First of all, mind your own business omega, what happens between my mate and i is none of your fucking business," she snarled, her real sideing out. A true selfish bitch. A sinister smile spread across Venus face, Kaya was out to y. In a sh, she had Ariana by the throat, pressed up against the wall as she applied pressure, cutting off her airway. Ariana wed at Venus hands, her face turning purple almost from theck of oxygen. Behind then a deep voice stopped Kaya frompletely finishing off the pathetic she-wolf she was holding by the neck. "Thats enough," Dante boomed,mand heavy in his deep voice. Kaya stood unfazed, she turned around, smirked at Dante and continued to apply pressure to the bitches throat. Venus now seeing that she was soon to have blood on her hands if she didn''t stop Kaya, finally took back control and let her hands drop. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Ariana took deep breaths, holding her bruised neck, as she coughed heavily. She then looked up at Venus, ready tounch, she stood up, her real face surfacing, that of a bitch. And said, "Well well well, would you look at that, a petty worthless little omega wants to y with the alphas mate," she sneered, riling Venus up. The air shifted upon her words, now waves of authority were rolling off Venus in waves. Her brown eyes that were filled with anger were now glowing, it was as if looking at the moon. The main front door burst open, but Venus still paid no heed, she wanted blood, the wench had challenged her and a challenge she would get. In the door way stood a wide eyed Knox with papers in his hands and a petrified Sophia clutching onto his arm, terrified of the scene ying in front of them, they almost lowered their heads from the sheer power that Venus was emitting. Looking at Dantes back, his posture was still and alert. Venus let out a loudugh at Ariana''sment, "Oh you stupid, stupid fool," venus started, the bloodlust in her eyes was as clear as it could get. "You think you''re his mate, awh how sweet, someone please get me a tissue i think I''m gonna cry now, oh lord. Oh hun, so gullible, so foolish, it makes me pity you. You''re not his mate, i am, you''re the one crawling on your knees with legs spread 10 feet apart for a mated lycan, tsk tsk he didn''t tell you did he, oh oh, now listen here you worthless trash," it was if watching a film, venus emotions were switching from sarcastic to cruel to pure evil. "You''re the one ying, such a useless whore you are, from the looks of it you clearly had mommy issues, not getting enough attention i take it, or no, was it the fact that no matter what you did you were still no better than a dead dog on the side of the road, leeches like you neverst long," Venus hissed, her glowing orbs shing. "And i am no omega you slut, i am your fucking luna, and I''m going to bring you down where you belong, on your knees," She said, a wide sadistic smile ying on her aglow features. "Now bow to me," Venusmanded, her whole frame emitting waves of dominance. As against her will, Ariana fell onto her knees, tears streaming down her face, as she wanted to reject themand but her body was making her do otherwise, rejecting a superiorsmand was as painful as breaking bones. And she was down on her knees, her head bowed, in front of Venus, tears running down her face. An eerie silence settled in the living room. "I guess we werete in bringing the news huh?" Knox stated, gulping as he looked at the scene with wide eyes. ___________________________________ "How did we miss this?" Dante murmured, as he skimmed through the papers Knox had brought him. "I swear this was not in any others, when you told me to do a background check on her, none of this came up until i opened up a very old file on her father, it didn''t make any sense because she was an omega, but then I connected the dots and damn, this is it," Knox finished, running his big hands through his hair. "Bring her in," Dante said, his voice gruff. A minuteter, Venus and Sophia walked in. Sophia was looking worried and Venus, well her face was nk. After the entire incident, Ariana was rushed to the pack hospital while Knox, Sophia and Dante tried to calm down a raging Venus who wanted blood. Dante held onto both her hands, sparks flew, and despite her wishes, Venus calmed. When she looked down she realised how small her hands lookedpared to Dantes, who''s were big and rough, covering up almost her whole hand with his. "Sit," Dante said, rummaging through the files and then leaning back in his office chair, assessing his mate. Venus stared right back at him, never flinching. "Did you know your father was an Alpha, Venus?" Dante asked, his voice casual, his baritone rich and deep. Venus frowned, then shook her head no. "Well then, when Knox came running in today, it was to tell me that your father was in fact an alpha, well it was a littlete considering the events," Dante said sarcastically, ring at Knox who smiled sheepishly at him. Never seen a sarcastic Dante before, Venus thought. "So tell me Venus, tell me everything you remember and anything you know," dante said, leaving no room for stating otherwise. "My parents both died in a fire when i was 8, I remember nothing from that, we were a normal family, i was then put into the custody of my u-uncle," Venus choked out, the dark memories shing in her mind. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, the upants of the room frowned and she then continued. "When i then reached the age of 15 i was demoted for no reason to an omega, and growing up my family were normal pack members, and never had i heard of them being anything otherwise," venus finished, shrugging at matter off. Silence. "Well it says in your files that your father Harrison, in fact was the alpha of the Blood Moon pack, your mother fell sick when she was pregnant with you, almost close to death, Josh- your now dead Alpha was a healer, he proposed to your father a deal, his title for your mothers health, naturally your father epted and thats how he became Alpha, so thats why Ariana did as youmanded," Knox said, stating all the facts that he knew. "So in other words you''re an Alpha Female then," Sophia stated, lighting the atmosphere and smiling giddily. Venus smiled at her friend. She then looked up to find her mate looking at her. Against the dark night sky, and the pale moonlighting through the windows, his ocean blue eye looked like an angry stormy sea, with deep blue waved crashing into each other, while his green eye, it was as if watching a storm evade a lush green forest in the presence of the sun, the golden specks glinting. Did he know? She thought. _____________________________ Hello my loves, Yess another chap, this one was a lil hard to write, i stopped in the middle and then couldn''t catch up with the flow, bad idea. Anyways don''t forget to show your love Vote andment Peace out chapter 7 chapter 7 The promise that Venus had kept to herself about escaping was now to happen, it had been a day since the entire reveal of Venus being a female alpha. That day she felt an iing headache and retreated to her room, the pressure of it all and everything was settling on her. James and Sophia had given her all the medication required, as she had also caught high fever with her migraine, along with nausea, she was in a bad shape over all. Stuffing a box of tissues and her other requirements into her bag, she wore ger hoodie and with bloodshot eyes and trembling legs she made her way out of her room. She realised as her wolf exined; that since it was very rare for werewolves to get sick like that and specially if they are of a higher ranking, the only reason is the fact that she had found her mate but they still hadn''t epted the bond. Avoiding and ignoring the bond would lead to weakness on both parts, Dante had not shown any traces of weakness but Venus was a trembling mess. It was 3 in the morning, with her backpack over her shoulder and a hazy eye sight. Venus clutched onto the railing of the staircase and quietly made her way down. Tip toeing across the foyer, she moved past the living room, 3 feet away from her final escape. Venus felt as if it was hard to breathe, the air thinning, this was it, this was her leaving her mate and the bond, as her heart lurched and thumped irregrly in her chest. Her wolf was also whining softly, but no. She wouldn''t loose control again and not to him. He had taken too much. She turned around to be met with an empty house, sighing to herself deeply, with onest look to where his room was, trembling lips she turned the door knob softly. She had opened the door halfway when it was thrown shut, and she was roughly turned around by the waist and pressed up against the door. Her breathing hitched by the sudden attack, her eyes widened. Lo and behold. Stood Dante with a bare chest, his hair messy, his eyes dark and jaw ticked. A pair of grey sweatpants hung low on his hips. Holding Venus trapped between himself and the door that was her only escape, his minty and woodsy scent made Venus clench her eyes, no, she wouldn''t loose control. "Where do you think you''re going, amour?" Dante hissed through clenched teeth, holding his little mate captive. Venus sputtered non sense. Busted. Her eyes then darkened, and she pushed against his bare chest but he didn''t budge, she growled and him and he growled right back at her. "What does it look like dumbass, I''m leaving you and this cursed pack," she snapped, twisting in his hold, wanting to be let free. His onyx eyes shed, and he bared his canines at her, wanting her to submit. But his stubborn little mate had other ns. Her knee went flying to his crotch, she hit where she wanted. As Dante loosened his hold on her and cupped his crotch, he was angry. She ran towards the door, turned the knob only to find herself airborne, as she clutched onto Dante, feeling more dizzy than what her fever made her feel. Putting her across the foyer, the other end of the door. She twisted herself around in his arms, only to find him an inch away from her, their noses almost touching, both their breathings ragged. Venus stopped struggling in his embrace, the fever and headache was making her senses reel, as she sagged against his chest. His hands around her waist, hers ced on his chest, crushed against each other. The soft contours of her body fitting perfectly into his hard ones. They were made for each other, there was no other way around it. "Don''t ever-ever even think of leaving," Dante growled out, tightening his hold on her. Venus was silent in his arms. "Had you not done half of what you did I wouldn''t have even thought of leaving," she whispered. Dante clenched his jaw. She looked so small, so fragile in his big arms. In her vulnerable state, nothing like the raging she-wolf he saw the day before. "You expect me to be your prince charming Venus, i am not that, you''re still a child, stop confusing the reality from the fairytales you believe in," dante said, angry at himself and at her. Something in Venus snapped, a child. She roughly pushed againt his chest. Startled he moved back. "A child, you think I''m a fucking child," Venus hissed, venomcing her words, her eyes ignited. "Watch your mouth Venus," he growled, taking a step forward. "You know nothing about me Dante, so go ahead and say all that crap elsewhere," venus shouted, she was seeing red. Heavy breathing. "You know what," Venus said, smiling bitterly. "Fuck you, fuck this, I''m rejecting you," she hissed through clenched teeth. Her hands clenching to fists by her side, her chocte brown eyes shing with anger. His eyes darkened upon her outburst, the ocean blue of his left eye turning ck, while simultaneously the green of his right eye that had gold specks surrounding the pupil started to dim, the darkness taking over, both orbs turning ck. His lycan was trying to push through, her announcement of rejecting him didn''t sit well with his lycan, who was trying to take control and mark her, to make her his. Forever. "I Venus Harrison, reject you Dante En-" her statement got cut off by a pair of warm and firm lips over hers. Sparks flew upon their touch, as he moved his lips against hers, growling when she wouldn''t open her mouth for him, he squeezed her derri¨¨re in his rough hands and forcefully pushed his tongue into her mouth for it to sh with hers. His stubble grazing her cheeks, there was nothing tender about the kiss. It was consuming. It was rough and bruising, and Venus found her hands around his neck. As he growled into the kiss, she was driving him mad with desire. As he tangled his tongue with hers, Venus moaned. As he pulled on it and started sucking, desire streaking through her body, she bit his lower lip and he hooked his hands around her hips, he ran his tongue along with seam of her lips, leaving a wet trail in N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. its wake. He sucked roughly almost greedily on her lower lip, feeling it swell. He then thrust his tongue into her mouth, only to retreat and be thrust back in. Venus was a hot mess, her hands tangled in his dark locks. He nted his mouth across hers, gaining more ess, deepening the kiss further. His hands rushing over her heated form, as she moaned in his arms, returning the kiss with equal ardour. Goddess the passion she had was going to kill him. Venus was the first to break away, breathing heavily. Both looked throughly ravished. Venus raised her trembling fingers to her swollen lips, Dante watching her, his eyes dark with lust, his arms flexing from straining from grabbing onto her and pounding into her till she couldn''t walk straight. The reality of everything crashed onto Venus, looking at Dante with wide using eyes. ____________________________________ Hello sweets, Well that happened, also there will be two updates today, another er because i wont be home on Friday so l''ll be updating itter on. Show your love and support Vote andment Peace out chapter 8 chapter 8 "So you''re telling me you fled like your derri¨¨re had caught fire?" James asked for the nth time skeptically, his facial expression getting more dire with every second. "I remember when Knox and i first kisses it led to us having sex, straight up," Sophia added, smiling proudly. Venus groaned and hid her face in her hands. After the incident the night before the only thing Venus did was run to the safety of her room and not James and Sophia visited her, girls being girls, she spilled all the ''hot tea'' as James says, to her friends. James dropped to the ground when she told them while Sophia pped her hands ecstatically, beaming at her. "Guys help me out, heck i cant even look at him," Venus said, frustrated. "Fine, lets go take a walk around the pack to get your mind off this," James muttered, annoyed that his bestfriend had the opportunity to finally loose her virginity but she had to fuck it up ... Yeah thats what he was pissed about. After changing her clothes, the three of them started walking around. By now the pack members that were close to them had an idea about the whole mate thing, but there were some that didn''t. "I think Kendall is the most normal one in her family," Sophia argued, as the three of them walked side by side gossiping about anything that came to mind. In the distance sounds of grunts and hits came, frowning Venus walked up the little slope and over it, for her to see on the other end wide endless levelled grass. And it was full of training equipment, the area could easily fit 600 people, mats and punching bags and fighting rings and what not. At the moment there were easily 100 warriors training. James and Sophia caught up to Venus, and their reaction to this part of the pack had been the same. Utter awe. Venus was mesmerised by every hit and kick that was delivered, how smoothly they moved across the lush gardens, a fierce and determined look on all their faces. While on the left side 30 warriors were moving in sync, there were also female warriors. Pride burst in Venus, flowing through her, making her feel warm as a beautiful smile graced her rosy lips. They made their way down, watching. Some of the warriors halted to see who the stunning she-wolf was. She smiled warmly at the trainer, who was an aged wolf, to others he would seem to look almost 40 when in reality he was way elder. A bare chest, sweating wolf ran up to them. Slightly breathless and smiling widely, he was utterly handsome. With dirty blonde hair and baby blue eyes, a fit tanned body. "Well hello there, I haven''t seen you around here before," he stated, smiling, he had a dimple too! Very charming, Venus thought. "Hey, sorry I''m Venus, and i just joined the pack," she stated, smiling politely. "Nice to meet you Venus, I''m Dean," he said, sticking his hand out. Venus shook his hand, while James and Sophia coughed teasingly. Venus rolled her eyes. "So are you here to train, because if you want to i can help you," Dean offered. Venus looked at her outfit, she wanted to but she didn''t have the gear on. "I don''t think my outfit-" she was cut off when Dean shook his head, smiling mischievously. His eyes trailing down her body. "Its fine, I''ll be showing you the basics anyways," he said, his eyes twinkling. Venus looked at her friends who nodded. He took her to a fighting ring. "So first what you''re going to do is fix your posture," Dean started. Venus followed his instructions. 30 minutes into the training she was feeling hot, taking her denim jacket off she tied it around her waist, throwing her hair into a ponytail. She was learning the basics, jab, cross, hook and uppercut. Dean wanting to fix her stance put his hands around her waist, putting her in the needed position, as he instructed what to do he didn''t let his hands drop from her waist. Venus felt weird, only Dante touched her like this, Dean didn''t feel right. She was about to pull out of his hold when the loudest growl ran across the gardens, shaking everyone, the birds in the trees flying away. Everyone turned around to see Dante. Looking murderous, his form shaking, his beautiful eyes zed over. "GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF HER, PUP!" Dante thundered. Dean trembled from themand, moving back with his head bowed. Venus stood there with wide eyes. Knox went over to Sophia and whispered something into her ear angrily, while Gabriel looked at James with a cold face. "I-I apologise Alpha I didn''t know she was taken," Dean stuttered when Dante stepped into the ring. Dante stared down at the warrior, he raised his fist, about to knock down the pup. His lycan wanted blood, someone had touched what was his. "Dante NO," Venus shouted, running up to him and grasping onto his thick arm, trying to pull him away. He looked her and then back at Dean. "Dante please," Venus whispered. The Alpha was still shaking from anger. He was about to deliver the blow when Venus did the one thing that came into mind. She held his face, stood on her toes and pressed her lips to his. At first he froze, Venus then slowly almost gently started moving her lips against his, brushing back and forth. Then almost timidity darted her to tongue out to run it across his lips, urging him to open up for her. He growled lowly in his throat, held her firmly by the nape and devoured her right there. Kissing her thoroughly, and for the on lookers, it was confirmed. She was their luna, the Alpha had finally found his mate. He crushed her to him, not caring if anyone let alone the entire pack was watching. He gripped her hair and let his sinful tongue slide into the warm cave of her mouth, letting it duel with hers, as she moaned and he took control of the kiss. Sucking and nipping on her lips. After eternity they both stopped. Venus looked up to see his eyes back to their normal colour, her hands still on his thick tattooed arms. As she smiled softly at him, gently skimming her hands across his tattoos, as his chest rumbled and he dipped his head into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply and lifting his head, but not before cing a kiss on the spot where she was to be marked.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Venus gasped and looked at him. His eyes, she was lost in them again. In the sunlight, the blue of his eyes was more prominent, it was as if looking at the afternoon clear sky, calming. While the green of his other eye made her forget the lush green grass, his shade was a stunning green, like that of the nts after receiving rain, fresh and soothing, the gold specks more radiant than the rays of the sun. Someone coughed, and they both looked to their right. The trainer Jackson was giving them a look, smirking at the both of them. Venus blushed gorgeously and Dante smirked back. While the warriors stood in wonder and awe of what had just happened. After a minute of silence, They all started cheering and roaring with apuse and wolf whistles. __________________________________ Hello darlings, Well yes, that happened, too much PDA, no? I wanted to treat y''all to a light chapter, so here it is. Show your love and support. Vote andment Peace out chapter 9 chapter 9 She was back in the ce she first set eyes on her mate, but the circumstances were very different and she didn''t know how to feel about that. Dante sat behind his desk in his ck sharp suit, while Venus was in a pair of ripped jeans, a sleeveless top and a pair of low top vans. After the kiss in front of the entire pack, Venus couldn''t stop blushing, hourster when Dante and the rest were back to training on her way home she was questioning what she really meant to him. He chose Ariana, but he kissed her, he didn''t want her but he was jealous of Dean. Venus decided that before she lost her mind she would much rather talk to him about it and settle it once and for all. Around 5 in the evening she walked up to his office, knocked and then shortly after entered upon his permission. James and Sophia had advised that she stay calm and not loose her temper. "Sit," hemanded, not sparing her a nce and rummaging through a stack of papers. She did as told, annoyed that he wouldn''t acknowledge her presence. She cleared her throat, once. Twice. "What do you want," Dante growled impatiently. Shocked and angered Venus snapped, "Don''t you dare growl at me or use that tone of voice with me Dante, not after the stunt you pulled in the clearing today." "What do you want," he muttered. It was this time that Venus held her breath, the question was on the tip of her tongue yet she couldn''t say it out loud. The silence made Dante look up and raise a thick brow, the specks of gold in his green eye seemed to be glowing along with the ck rim that held the storm of his dark ocean blue eyes. "Whatarewe?" Venus let out in one breath. Dante studied her in silence. It unnerved her. "What do you think we are?" He asked instead, leaning back in his chair. His hot gaze made Venus look down at her entwined hands, there was so much going through her, she was in a turmoil. "I don''t know," she whispered ever so lowly, for it had not been for his sharp senses he would have missed it. Sighing he stood up and walked around the desk to stand in front of her. Using his thumb and forefinger he held her chin in between and made her look at him, sparks zapping through them upon their touch. "Tell me what really is on your mind Venus," he demanded huskily, his voice deep and rough, but gentle as if not to startle her. "I-I just-" venus started but couldn''t make a sentence. She inhaled deeply and then said, "I want to know what we are and where i stand, you chose Ariana as your mate yet you kissed me twice now, you say you do not want me but you almost ripped a warriors head off because he touched me," Venus said, her voice shaky and her eyes begging him to make known the truth. Dante clenched his jaw and walked towards the window, his back towards her. "First of all Venus we are mates, there is no question in that and as for Ariana, she and I are-" Dante got cut off when the door was thrown open and there stood a very sweaty and shirtless Knox and a wide eyed Gabriel. "What is the meaning of this," Dante demanded. "Alpha, you''ve got to see this we found this footage fromst night from one of the security cameras, and we double- no triple checked it to make sure we are not blind or insane," Gabriel rushed out and it was the first time Venus saw him loose hisposure. Frowning Dante nodded. "Dante we- uh- I don''t know how to exin this but," Knox started. "Spit. It. Out." Dante let out through clenched teeth, his 6''3 frame humming with anger. "Its your father!" Gabriel let out. The thick silence that filled the room made it hard for Venus to breathe, as she looked at Knox and Gabriel that had worry written across their beautiful faces. While Dante started shaking, his huge form trembling. "Show me," he growled. The men went forward and inserted a USB into theptop. The film started, it was towards the borders of the pack, everything seemed normal until a tall man emerged from within the woods, looking around to make sure no one was there. He then started walking around as if looking for something, his steps sure and determinated and his shoulders taunt. Venus watched Dantes hand clench into a fist, she bit her lip, wanting to help him but refrained. After a few minutes the man seemed to take in a liquid in a tube, and while chugging his drink down his hood fell off, and his face was towards the camera. Dantes body stiffened and Venus gasped. The man was an exact replica of Dante, except for the scar running across his left cheek, if Venus didn''t know any better she would say that was his ... father. Her eyes widened, she looked at Dante, his eyes had zed over. "I watched him die," Dante said "I WATCHED HIM DIE HOW IS HE ALIVE," he roared and stood to his full height. His lycan was about toe out. "VENUS GET OUT OF HERE!" Gabriel thundered. Running across the room and taking a hold of Dante, trying to keep him at bay. Knox rushed to them and pushed him down, trying to slow his shift. Venus watched petrified, as Dantes styled hair was now messy, his suit had wrinkles on them, the alpha was down on his knees trying to fight back a shift. As if her body had a mind of its own she walked towards him despite the warnings the Beta and Gamma were giving her. She went down to her knees in front of him, and ced her hands on either side of his face. His trembling slowed down but his body was still working through the shift. She looked at the boys and nodded for them to leave, they were hesitant at first but then left. Venus moved back and watched her mate turn into his lycan, thick midnight ck fur sprouted from his body, his clothes tore right through the middle, his body rippling with muscle and humming with power. stood her dark lycan. Her mate in all his glory standing at 7 feet, he then went on all fours and watched Venus with curiosity in his beautiful eyes. He rounded her and Venus stood still. "Lorenzo," she called out, the lycan paused and growled deep in his throat. He liked her calling his name. "Mate," Lorenzo said, his voice if possible more deeper than Dantes and more rough. "Come here," she said, as she sat on the tiled floor and crossed her legs, she wasn''t scared. Hesitantly he walked towards her and then settled his head in herp while she ran her fingers through his fur, feeling the silkiness. He hummed and she giggled. He looked up and licked her face and Venus shrieked. "You''re too cute," Venus cooed The offended lycan puffed his chest out and growled at her statement, cute! "I am not cute mate I am dangerous," Lorenzo said. Venus shook her head at him. After a moment of silence she knew talking about the tape would get him angry so she settled for her unanswered questions instead, Venus asked, "Lorenzo, why did Dante choose Ariana as his mate?" "Who said he chose her," Lorenzo stated. Venus paused, what. "No Dante chose her as his mate," Venus insisted. "Mate you think too much, he did no such thing, hell he didn''t even find it in him to sleep with her after he found you, yes he kissed her in hopes of forgetting and tried sleeping with her, but he couldn''t do it." Lorenzo said, nuzzling his snout into her neck and inhaling deeply. Frozen Venus mumbled in a weak voice, "Lorenzo, can you let Dantee out now." _______________________________________ Hello sweets, Another update and more drama, yayyyy.

Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Anyways Show your love and support Vote andment Peace out chapter 10 chapter 10 Venus sat in the office, waiting for her mate toe. After she requested for Lorenzo to shift back, he padded out the door. After a while her mate walked in wearing khaki shorts and a white tee shirt with canvas sneakers. He looked very very handsome, and very ... Normal. Venus tried not to drool over him, watching his tattooed covered thick arms flex upon movement, the way his jaw ticked and clenched when he was angry or just him being ... him. Venus shook her head, okay her thoughts were going haywire, what was going on? She wondered. Her body felt a little more heated then normal but she ignored all that and concentrated on the situation at hand. "I see you''re waiting for some answers," Dante said, his thick deep voice ringing out in the silent house. Venus nodded and he stood in front of her, folding his arms over his chest, making his muscled arms more bulging and very very distracting. Venus gulped, praying to the moon goddess her body wouldn''t betray her. "Come, lets take a stroll in the garden," he said, holding his rough hand out as she shyly tucked her small delicate hand into hisrge one. They rounded the stairs and headed out, walking in the lush green grass. "You may ask what you want to," Dante said gruffly, letting go of her hand, and Venus suddenly felt sad, missing the warmth of his hand. She took in a deep breath and started. "I have many questions Dante, but i will only ask a few for now," she said, her shoulder grazing with his bare arm as they walked. "First i wanted to ask why you did all that, why you avoided me like a gue and chose to go to Ariana when i was right there and you w-" Venus was cut off from her rambling when Dante ced his forefinger on her lips, silencing her. "One at a time Venus, but i get what you''re trying to say, i did all that for two reasons, first being i never wanted a mate, ever. And then you came along and your 5''6 self and bought more havoc with my being C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. than my entire existence altogether. I was losing control around you and that made me rage over myself and naturally you." Dante exined, and Venus listened to him carefully. "And second?" Venus whispered, feeling her heart clench upon his words. "Being my mate would put you in a lot of danger, you''d be a target to all my enemies, a weakness they think they can use against me, and i refused to put you into that mess, which is why i tired pushing you away," he said, smiling a little at the end and then looking down at his little mate. "I tried, i really did, but you''re the most stubborn little wolf i have ever seen, you always manage to get under my skin even if i willed against it," he stated, his hands behind his back, his being emitting raw power and dominance. Venus bit her lip, trying to hide her smile. After a moment to silence Venus asked the one thing that was on her mind the entire time, "Dante i wanted to ask, uh, about your father," she cringed when she said it. His body stiffened upon her words, and he turned around to look at her, his beautiful eyes stormy. His jaw flexed and he stood still, his gaze hot. He turned around and continued walking again, Venus struggling to keep up with his long powerful strides. "My father, was a bastard, i killed him myself, and now him being alive, it doesn''t fit in," Dante said gruffly, growling in the end. Seeing that his anger was surfacing. Hesitantly Venus slipped her hand into his, hoping to calm him down, upon touch he jerked his head back to look at her and then their entwined hands, sighing deeply, he tugged her along with him, hands joined. "My mother was a lovely woman, gentle and graceful, and my father too was a good man, after conquering a few packs his thirst for power increased, he changed. As mates it was very rare to see such a sight, a mate neglecting another, from that it turned into beatings, and as a 9 year old and only child i watched my mother in suffering from afar," he said, his voice rough and his eyes distant, as he tightened his grip on her hand, and Venus soothingly ran her hand gently across his arm. Her eyes stung from hearing her mates past. "Then he came down to me, beat me senseless, none of the pack members knew of it and mother didn''t try telling anyone, she was still in love with my father despite his doings, she''d cry every night while tending to my wounds. One day while i was out in the gardens i heard a scream from the house, i ran and went in, only to-" Dante stopped, breathing deeply, his eyes shut and his face morphed into pain. "I found my mother in a pool of her own blood with my father standing over her, my father then locked me up and I couldn''t even go to her funeral, that sick bastard told everyone she had a lover and when he refused to give her permission to leave she killed herself, dayster i managed to break out, took a silver knife from my fathers drawer and killed him in his sleep," he finished, his voice held no emotion, his face nk. Venus gulped, turned him around to look at her, and she then wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging him. He was stiff at first and then he hesitantly put his arms around her. Still in each other embrace she whispered achingly, " I''m so sorry," and the sincerity of her words made Dante wrap his arms around her more tightly, bringing her close to his chest, his chin on her head and arms around her small frame. She felt so small and fragile in his arms, the feeling of protectiveness hit him with renewed force. She sighed. "I know what you must have been through, with all the abuse," she whispered. Dante was silent for a while, "Venus you don''t have to t-" he was cut off when she shook her head and looked up at him. "I want to," she said, and there was so much trust and willingness in her beautiful earthy brown eyes Dante felt his heart m against his ribs. "My parents were killed, everyone said it was the fire but i know it wasn''t, i was given into the custody of my uncle, after some time the pack started treating me like shit, they demoted me, and then the beatings started, my uncle would beat me every chance he got, no reason, the night I escaped the pack was attacked, and since my uncle was mateless, the night before he tried to- he tried to," Venus couldn''t say it, her throat was clogged and tears stung her eyes. A loud ferocious growl escaped Dante as he held her close to his chest, his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply. "But i got away, nothing happened," Venus whispered. The silence that followed wasfortable. Both mates in each others embrace, their pasts open to each other, darkest secrets revealed. There was no turning back. "Well what to do we have here," ________________________________ Hello darlings. Happy Friday, yes another chapter, good things are toe my babies, I''m starting to like dante he''s so ugh.

Show your love and support Vote andment Peace out chapter 11 chapter 11 Dante and Venus looked to their right to see Knox and Sophia standing hand in hand, grinning at the both of them widely. "Truce?" Sophia asked. Dante looked down at his little mate, who was still safely secured in his arms, the gentle smile on her aglow face told him what to say next. "I believe so," he said, a smile in his voice. Sophia squealed in excitement and Knox smiled widely. ------------------------------------------ The next day everyone was getting ready, there was a pack dinner that night. Everything was set in the vast green gardens, the decor was stunning yet very simple. James as usual was doing the girls makeup, while he himself looked stunning with his dramatic rainbow eye look. Wearing a ck onesie with killer heels, James sure knew how toe dressed for the asion. Sophia was in a soft purple coloured dress that was fitted and reached her knees, and a gold belt around her waist. Paired with nude stilettos and soft makeup. Her hair in a bun. While Venus also has light natural makeup, her hair tumbling loose and her dress a baby pink that ended mid-thigh, synched from the top and flowy from the bottom. While Venus also has light natural makeup, her hair tumbling loose and her dress a baby pink that ended mid-thigh, synched from the top and flowy from the bottom Pairing her look with the same coloured pumps. She looked stunning, and so did the rest. Venus had not seen Dante the entire day, he had been out training and then had to go to the neighbouring pack for some business. Around 6 she walked out the house to see everything set up, smiling she started walking around, making sure everything was okay with her hands sped behind her back. While she was busy instructing some pack members about the lighting Dante had silentlye and had stood behind her. Wearing royal blue cks and a white dress shirt tucked in, paired with brown loafers. She turned around and bumped into a hard chest, she gasped when tworge hands wrapped around her waist to steady her, the warm sizzled of electricity that ran through her told her exactly who it was. Smiling she looked up to meet stunning coloured eyes, his rich cologne epassing her. "What were you up to, luna," Dante asked, his voice husky and deep. Venus swallowed, clutching onto his thick arms because her legs were turning into jello. "Just helping here and there, Alpha," venus dared tease back, and upon her words his body stiffened and his eyes darkened with lust. "Is that so?" He growled out, crushing her body go his. "I-," venus got cut by someone clearing their throat. They turned around to see the pack doctor smiling at them with a knowing look. "Alpha," the doctor said, standing at 6 feet with salt and pepper hair, hard features and a soft warm smile, he looked nothing his age that was of 50 years. "Sebastian," Dante said, nodding his head. With that they both left to talk somewhere in private. Soon the garden was packed with a few hundred people, everyone wasughing and chatting around, enjoying themselves. While Venus was talking and ying around with some of the pups a voice called out her name. She turned around to see none other than Dean, looking very handsome. She smiled back at him gently. "Hey," he started, moving closer to her. "Hi," she said. "So i just wanted to apologise for the other day, i didn''t know about you being mated to the alpha, like i would never disrespect him or you that way," he finished. Venus shook her head smiling. "Its okay, it was a genuine mistake, its all forgotten so don''t worry about all that, anyways i hope you''re enjoying yourself," venus said. "Well thats a relief i must say, and yes I''m thoroughly enjoying myself, so tell me, how are you doing?" Dean asked. "Thats good, and I''m doing great thank you, what about you?" "Yeah I''m doing good too," "Hey i was wondering if y-," Dean got cut off when a few pups bumped into him, making him fall straight towards Venus. They both bumped into each other and then fell onto the grass. "Sorry V," Jack, an 8 year old called out, giggling with the rest. Venusughed while standing up. And thats how Dante found them, standing very close to each other,ughing. "Venus," he ground out. Venus looked up to see her mate, looking anything but happy. Giving Dean a murderous look, oh no. She nudges him, signalling him to leave. And he understood and left awkwardly. She walked towards him cautiously, "Dante," she called out softly. He reached out and grasped onto her hips and pulled her flush against him, nuzzling his head into the crook of her neck and inhaling deeply, growling lowly in his throat. She sighed and ran her hands through his hair, calming him down. "You know i don''t want him right?" She asked softly. Dante pulled back and looked at her, his eyes nk. She leaned up on her toes and ced a kiss on his jaw, then wrapped her hand around his and pulled him with her towards therge table that was now full of mouthwatering food. They sat next to each other, Knox and Sophia infront of them and Gabriel and James on their side. Dean sitting a few chairs away from them, and there was still a little tension between them Sometime during the meal Dean would pass smiles to Venus which she would kindly return. It was while she was enjoying her dessert that Venus felt arge warm hand ced on her knee, startled she looked down to see Dantes tattooed hand, and she looked up at him to see he was casually conversing with his warriors. She blinked. She shifted in her seat and tried to pry his hand away but the stubborn alpha refused. "Dante stop it," she hissed under her breath. A few secondster his hand travelled up and settled on her thigh. Her breath hitched and she froze. Dante slowly and deliberately started making circles with his thumb onto her smooth skin, her body heated up. His hand wasrge enough to cup her thigh, and she prayed to the moon goddess that her arousal would not embarrass her. His hand slowly, almost teasingly reached further up, and Venus looked up at him to see him be as calm as ever, as if he was not feeling her under the table. She tried pinching his hand but he didn''t flinch. His touch was branding, iming. He moved further and was dangerously close to her core. She leaned forward and stuffed her face with the chocte mousse to stop herself from moaning out loud. He was a hair-breath away from her dripping core, without realising she let out a soft moan, which only thankfully Dante heard. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. He whipped around and looked at her, eyes dark. Pure lust showed in his eyes which he refused to hide. Without telling her he pulled his chair back, picked her up and walked towards the house with long powerful strides. Leaving half the back startled and some left smirking with knowing looks on their faces. ______________________________ Hello my darlings, Yes i know I''m so so sorry *cries* don''t kill me pls, but my finger guys remember that I''m handicapped at the moment, sort of.

Show your love and support, i love you all Vote andment Peace out chapter 12 chapter 12 *mature content* Dante zipped across the stairs and made his way up to his room with Venus tucked safely in his arms. She held onto his nape and shoulders wondering what her dark lycan had on his mind. His breathing was heavy and deep, while Venus felt chills run up her body, the sizzling kind. With his mate in his arms Dante walked into his room, ced Venus on his king sized bed and walked towards the door. Confused Venus watched him, Click, Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g He locked the door. Venus watched the expanse of his shoulders as he rolled them. They flexed upon movement and he turned around, eyes set on his little mate sitting in the middle of his bed with her dress bunched around her upper thighs. Keeping his hot gaze on hers, he started taking off his suit jacket. Taking his time. Casually throwing it on the sofa, then taking purposefulzy strides towards the bed. All while taking off his cufflinks and rolling up his sleeves to his forearms. Revealing thick tattooed arms, Venus gulped. "Sweetheart are you going to sit in bed all night and watch me," Dante asked, a challenge in his voice. Venus blinked. "Has my little mate forgotten how to speak," Dante teased, moving in front of her. Venus frowned. "No actually I''m wondering whats going on," she said truthfully, since the minute Dante had picked her up she had no clue what he was to do. "Darling whats about to happen is that I''m going to pleasure you in every way possible till you''re screaming my name every time you cum for me, what I''m going to do is make love to you slowly and pro-longingly then I''m going to bend you over and fuck you till your legs are shaking and the only thing on your mind is me." Heavy silence. "Umm do i get a say in this," Venus asked, her voice shaky. The room suddenly felt too hot. Dante gave her a look and quirked one thick brow. Venus wanted this, she wanted him, all of him. But she was scared, she just was. It was that doubt of not being good enough that was stuck to her mind and pulling her back into dark ces she wished not to be. "You have something on your mind Venus," he said, it wasn''t a question it was a statement. Venus nodded and bit her lip. "Its about u-" "Us," Dante finished for her. She nodded and looked up into his beautiful eyes. He sighed and sat on the bed, lifted her up and ced her in hisp so that she was straddling him. Shyly she ced her arms around his neck, as his right hand stayed on her hip while the left was running up and down her thigh in a soothing manner. "Sweetheart, know that everything did was for a reason bec-" "Because you have enemies and you didn''t want me to get hurt, i know i know," Venus finished for him, rolling her eyes. Dante frowned. Moved his hand back and squeezed her derri¨¨re roughly in hisrge hand. "Don''t cut me off and don''t ever roll your eyes at me again baby girl," he growled out. Venus blushed red. "And theres also something else," venus started "I-I don''t know how to say this but I-I want to please you too but i don''t exactly know how," she squeaked out, ying with the cor of his shirt and not making eye contact. Dante let out a rumblingugh. "Mate, you can just look at me with those eyes of yours and you''ll get me hard in a second, those eyes of yours are lethal my love, it can make a saint forget his vows." Dante said, his voice deeper and more rough. "Any touch of mine you enjoy, know that i would enjoy it too. For example," dante started. He ran his hands down her back and leaned down and kissed her neck slowly. Her grip on his arms increased, and he then raised his head and nodded. She bit her lip and started unbuttoning his dress shirt. With shaky hands she opened thest button, her eyes met with a tanned torso, packed with muscle, toned. She looked up at him for permission, and he smiled at her. She raised her hands and sunk them into the hair above his nape, moved his head to the side and ced her lips on his thick neck, slowly kissing it, then sucking lightly, running her tongue along it. And his grip on her hips tightened and he growled lowly in his throat. Taking that as a sign of encouragement she started peppering kisses along his cor bones and then his jaw, nipping and sucking her way down to his chest. Feeling his muscles flex under her hands, he felt like rough satin against her hands. Beautiful. It was his turn, he sunk his hands into her thick hair and bared her neck back for him. He looked at her for permission. She leaned down and ced a kiss on his lips. He then slowly started undressing her, gently. Right after he put her on the sheets he undressed himself, venus saw him in all his glory. He was so beautiful. He leaned over her and started kissing her slowly, resting himself between her hips. And she allowed him. Moving her neck to the side he started sucking on the area where he was to mark her. Moaning she dug her nails into his arms. Then Kissing her slowly, taking his time, savouring it. Teasingly and slowly thrusting his tongue into her mouth and then retreating till she was moaning for him to stop teasing her. His hot mouth moved down her throat to meet her chest, sucking and licking till his mouth met her soft cleavage. Venus moaned out loud at the pleasure he was giving her. Realising if he didn''t stop himself he''d finish mating with her right there, he slowed himself down, kissing her slowly andzily, until she breathlessly clung to him and he then tucked her closer to himself, as theyy tangled together in bed, enjoying thefortable soft silence. They were at peace. But they didn''t know of the shadows lurking in the corners, waiting to strike at the right time. ___________________________________ Hello my darlings, Turn on the AC please its wayyy too hot in here, so that happened, damn. So yes and im sorry guys, i am going to update every week but not necessarily Friday because i have examsing up and im juggling it all with trying to give you guys edited updates. Show your love and support. Vote andment peace outt chapter 13 chapter 13 "Girl so you finally got down and did the dirty," James squealed, hugging Venus tightly while behind them Sophia pped her hands ecstatically. "Guys quiet down, someone might hear," Venus whisper shouted, as she bent down to tie theces of her white vans, she was wearing a in white tee loosely tucked into her blue shorts. The morning that followed their passionate night, Venus awoke in Dantes arms, he bid her good morning and decided to show her how ''good'' of a morning it was, before she had to shoo the insatiable lycan to leave as he had meetings to attend to. James snorted. "Bitch i bet everyone knows, you reek of him," James said shrugging, now looking at his manicured nails. "Its true, when the alpha and luna mate and mark the entire pack feels it because its ourpletion," Sophia exined. Venus stood shell shocked in front of her friends, horrified by the idea of everyone knowing about them C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. when they mate. "but we didnt mark or mate he just-he just...," venus trailed off "Oh sweetie don''t fret, its only natural, and its gonna happen sooner rather thanter" Sophia said. Venus smiled at her and they made their way out, just as they were about to leave the main door opening and Gabriel, Knox and Dante walked in, and they seemed to be in a hot discussion, frowns on their faces and knuckles clenched. "Is something wrong," Venus asked worriedly, noting the look on her mates face. Dante looked up to see his little mate walking towards him, his gaze warmed. The fact that his scent was all over her made his lycan growl and want to take her upstairs and make her hispletely. His possessiveness over her was increasing ten fold and they hadn''t even mated yet. "Nothing that concerns you darling," Knox said, smiling knowingly at Dante. "Knox dont lie tell me whats the matter?" Sophia persisted, while James nodded his agreement. "Sophia i said nothing," knox said, sounding annoyed. "But I-" "I said its nothing!" Knox growled out angrily, and for the first time Venus had seen him loose his cool. Sophia stopped short and a heavy silence descended upon the foyer. Her baby blue eyes watered and her lower lip trembled. Knox realised what he had done and an instant look of regret shed on his face. He moved forward and she took a step back, and hurt shone in Knoxs eyes but Sophias was already crying. "Baby-" Knox got cut off when sophia turned around and ran out the house through the back door. Her mate looked lost and tried to make a run through the back door but Venus stopped Knox. "I think you should give her some time," Venus said, and nodded at James and they both went to follow Sophia. "Venus you are not leaving this house," Dantemanded. Venus turned around to look at her mate frowning, "What why?" She asked "Because i said so, do not question me Venus," Dante said, his voice loosing its warmth. "But sophia-" "Enough Venus, no means no, you are forbidden to leave this house until i say otherwise," Dante growled out angrily. She flinched, and took a step back. His anger was so unjustified and so uncalled for, and it felt like they were back to square one. Her chest felt like it had caught fire, but she lifted her chin up, trying to show his words or tone of voice didn''t affect her when in reality she was bleeding from inside. Venus gave Dante a look of distain and walked out the door with James, not giving second thought to her actions. ------------------------------------------------ "Venus wait up," James called out, panting. Venus huffed and waited for he friend to catch up. "Damn girl why are you running, whew i think, i think i need to start working out, i think i need an oxygen mask or i might reel," James said, fanning himself dramatically. Venus rolled her eyes but smiled at her friend, they were now in the woods looking for Sophia because no one knew where she was. In a far off distance they heard a twig snap, both of them turned their heads to where the sound came from, their senses high on alert. And from behind a tree Sophia emerged, her eyes puffy and red. James and Venus sighed in relief and ran towards their best friend and tackled her into a hug, and she quietly sobbed in their embrace. After a while when she calmed down they talked about what happened. "Such an ass," Sophia muttered, while simultaneously James and Venus said, "Amen to that," "Couldn''t agree more," After a moment of silence they all burst outughing. Three best friends in the middle of the forest bitching about their mates, what could be more better. After a while they all got up and ready to go back, but Venus stopped to tie herces. James and Sophia went ahead while Venus stayed back to tie them up. Some rustling from the leaves on the side caught her attention. She got up and was about to walk when footsteps caught her attention and she looked to the right, just in time to be knocked in the temple by a punch, everything slowly started to ck out and Venus fell onto the ground with a soft thud. Her head met the forest floor, and her head lolled to the side, spinning, everything was spinning and in the distance she heard a shrill scream and someone shout her name. And shepletely gave into the darkness when she felt someone carrying her. ___________________________________ Hello my darlings, okay so this happened, also my mocks just finished and my finals will start on 3rd may and end on 10th June... Exactly, send help. Show your love and support Vote andment Peace out chapter 14 chapter 14 A blurry grey. Thats the first thing Venus saw, she then blinked her eyes, her sight more focused. A rusty grey roof, she blinked again. Her mind registering a dull throb at the back of her head, as she realised she was sprawled across the hard concrete floor, carefully she leaned up using the little strength she had. Suddenly a sharp pain in her head made her hiss in agony and she fell back onto the floor, clutching her head in her hands, her eyes clenched shut. After a while the pain subsided, and Venus tried to sit up again more carefully this time, she looked at her hands to see them full of blood. Confused she touched her temple to see fresh red blood trickling down in droplets down her fingers. She was loosing blood. She looked around, a dirty and small grey room. A door. She slowly used the wall next to her to stand up, and as she did the sound of chains caught her attention and she looked down to see both her feet in shackles. "Damn it," she cussed out softly. And they seemed very heavy, and made of silver she realised. If she tried to touch it, it would burn her, thanx to the thick and high socks she was wearing, else she would have wounded feet to deal with too. She looked up sharply when she heard footsteps approaching, heavy booted footsteps. Venus pushed herself against the wall and slid down, to make it look like she had no strength left in her. The sounds of keys jingling and a lock being opened caught her attention and the rusty door was C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. thrown open to see a tall silhouette of 6''3. Venus squinted her eyes from the lighting from the other side, "Look who''s finally awake," the man said, his deep voice ringing out across the small room. Venus kept quiet and watched under hershes. "You know it was very hard to get my hands on you, but would you look at that, we''re here now aren''t we," he said, chuckling in the end. As Venus kept her silence. That seemed to agitate him, "Speak you wench," he thundered. Venus flinched but still kept quiet. The angry man stepped forward and towered her. Venus clenched her eyes shut. After a second the sound of hand meeting skin sharply reverberated across the room. He pped Venus across the face, then pulled her up by her hair, making her look at him. Blood oozing from her lip, and her cheek numb from the hit Venus finally in some light took in her captors features, and what she saw knocked the breath out of her lungs. The man in front of her was in striking likeness to her mate, it was as if she was looking at Dante as if he were old. But the only difference was that this mans eyes were a dull green, Dante had a striking forest green eye and a deep sea blue one. Now up close he also seemed to have a deep scar running across the side of his cheek, from his ear to his cheekbone. "Thats it sweetheart, take a good look at the father of your mate who''s going to kill you first, making sure he-" he spat out, "Watches, then I''m gonna kill him right after, but slowly, and painfully," he said, a sadistic smile on his face. The image of her mate being put to harm ignited a fire in Venus that the hit from her captor didn''t, with all her strength she pulled her leg back and kneed him in the crotch. Her captor doubled over in pain and let out a cry of pain, sinking to his knees and cupping his crotch. The only thing that was stopping venus from her freedom was the thick silver shackles around her feet, as she tried pulling them off but burnt her hands in the process. Tears of frustration were sliding down her face. As she tried kicking them off but it was toote, he was already back up on his feet, and he turned her around andnded a punch right to her temple. Once again Venus found herself being thrown into darkness. -------------------------------------------------- "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU CANT FIND HER ANYWHERE?!" Dante thundered, mming his hands onto the desk. His eyes were two ck pools of fury, his lycan was a hairsbreadth away from pushing through. It had been a few hours when James and Sophia hade rushing in to tell Dante and their mates that Venus was missing. Ever since then Dante had been ready to destroy anything in his wake. His lycan couldn''t mind link Venus, it seemed as if she wasn''t even there, who ever had her had injected enough wolfsbane into her system to shut her wolf downpletely, that was the worst case scenario. Right now the pack had sensed that their bond with their luna had weakened, it had caused a sense of unease among all the pack members. And Dante had sent out his best warriors and trackers to catch a scent of Venus, "Dante the trackers are back," Knox said, his face nk and his grey eyes pits of fury. Dantes jaw ticked, his eyes murderous. Three men walked into the office. "Alpha we caught Lunas faint scent towards the north east side, and it finished when we got close to the Lunars pack," the tracker stated. A moment of deafening silence filled the room. "Get your gear on, we''re leaving," Dante said through clenched teeth, his tanned chiseled face a mask of fury. "And Alpha, who ever did it, they tried to mask their scent, but we caught a little of it," the other tracker stated. Gabriel and Knox exchanged looks. "Roberto Suez Salvatore, we caught his scent alpha," the tracker said, gulping audibly. "WE ARE LEAVING NOW, INFORM THE OTHERS, DOUBLE THE PATROL ON THE BORDERS, NO ONE GETS IN OR GETS OUT!" Dante roared. As he knocked all the things off his desk, his lycan was howling in pain and anger from the disappearance of his mate. "Don''t worry Dante, we will find her, just stay strong, stay strong for her," Knox said calmly, even despite his anger. And then they all strapped up and left on the hunt to find Venus. "Don''t worry baby, just hang on in there, where ever you are, I''ming and I''m going to find you, i promise," Dante mind linked, even though he knew she was cut off, he hoped she got the message some way. And Dante set out to get back what was his. ___________________________________ Hello darlings, Well i did promise an update so here it is, and yes exams are barely in a few days but you guys. dont forget to show your love, peace out chapter 15 chapter 15 ''Well of course you must know that there have been many before you, and that just the fact that you''re his mate makes no difference what so ever, you mean nothing to him,'' Roberto said, chuckling sadistically, while Venus sat on the concrete floor silent, as her mates own father spoke to her filth about his own son and mocked their bond. She dug her nails into her palms to keep herself fromshing out on him, and because she was too weak due to the silver chains, it would be hard for her to fight. A few days had gone by and still no signs of Dante, slowly all of everything was making her hope chip away piece by piece. The constant stretch of days alone in an empty room, being force fed stale bread and dirty water, her own thoughts and the wordsing from her enemies mouth. She didn''t want to believe them but her sanity was dying with her better judgement. It felt like the end to her, and especially that she had started coughing out blood and would get beaten by her captor a few times a day to the point she thought she was as good as dead, and her wolf, gone. ''Venus venus venus, the quicker you wrap your head around the fact that he''s noting, the easier it would be for you sweetheart,'' he mocked. After days of holding in her emotions, a traitorous tear made its way down her face, but she dared not let her cold facade drop. Finally after her left. And in the cold empty room, without her wolf, Venus was as good as a human, the chilly night air and blood. It had been happening since a few days, she med her wolfs disappearance, that it had an effect on her body. ''Help me moon goddess, i cant do this anymore,'' Venus whispered, with the little bit of strength left in her she prayed and got knocked into a deep slumber. ------------------------------------------------------------ A ruckus outside woke her up, shakily she pulled herself up into a sitting position, and wondered what was going on. Deep voices were resonating around but her senses were dizzy, she didn''t know what was going on. Suddenly the door got thrown open and came a bright light from outside and a tall silhouette stood in the door way, she put her hands up to shield her eyes from the bright light, maybe Roberto was finally back to end her for good. Her body shut down, exhausted, and Venus slowly started to loose consciousness and she swayed. ''VENUS!'' A deep voice shouted, but to her it came nothing more than a muffle and no identification of who it was as she sagged against the wall. Her vision darkening, and she then felt two big arms wrap around, then someone tugging on the chains, she felt a burn register at the back of her head on her arms and legs, but it felt distant. ''DANTE GET OVER HERE!'' The voice shouted in a frenzy, worry and desperation clear in their voice. "He put wolfsbane in her system," the voice said. And thest thought before Venus got swallowed by darkness was, who''s Dante? ------------------------------------------------------- "Alpha we caught the scent south," the tracker said, nodding at him. Looking over at his second inmand Dante inclined his head and everyone shifted into their wolves, as they nipped and snarled, agitated that their Luna had been taken and put in harms way, they were out for blood, and blood it was that they were to shed. Dante growled and the chase started, as 23 wolves followed Dante and zipped past the forest in full speed, adrenaline pumping in and the bloodlust heightening. After a while they came across a small secluded building in the middle of no where. ''Remember what you must do'' Dante mind linked to the others, who all gave each other sadistic smiles, ready for the thrill to begin. They surrounded the building and stealthily moved into the building through a window and two doors, not using the front one, they were cautious lest they catch Robertos attention who would harm Venus to save himself. Slowly the made their way in, then shifted into their human forms and divided themselves into units and searched the building. There then came a basement, Konx tilted his head and got the others attention, crouching down they were ready to attack, after getting Dantes signal Knox threw the door open and barrelled in with the others following suit, to their right stood a man, calmly looking out the window, the only window in the basement that had lighting through it. ''I was waiting for you, took you long enough,'' Roberto sassed, as he took out a cigar and put it between his lips. The wolves snarled at him in disgust and rage, Dante kept a cold look on his face. His father Roberto Suav Salvatore was going to die today at his hands. ''Find Venus'' Dante mind linked to Knox. "What do you want Roberto?" Dante asked, sounding bored. While the was the distraction Knox used to get to try and find Venus as he mover away from the rest. "Ah always so straight forward," Robertoughed. "I don''t have time for your bullshit," Dante said coldly. "Oh but you''d be interested in what i have to say about your mate Venus," Roberto said innocently. Dante growled loudly and the rest snarled in warning. Robertoughed. "See this is what I''m talking about, and well don''t worry shes alive if thats what you''re wondering, barely I believe but not for long you see, i put wolfsbane into the food i fed her, its been quiet a few days so uh-" he looked down at the watch on his hand and shrugged. " well she should be breathing herst any moment now, and well the beatings i gave her, oops," he mocked as he put a hand to his mouth. Dante roared and shifted mid air and pounced on Roberto, making him fall to the ground, he snarled viciously and dug his teeth straight into Robertos shoulder who screamed in agony, and that was just the inauguration of a bloody and messy kill. ------------------------------------------------- "We need to hurry, we don''t know how much she can hold on Dante," Knox rushed out, as he watched his Alpha carry in his arms their luna, who was unconscious and as pale as death, with bruises and burn marks on her body. Dante zipped across the forest and ran as fast as he could using all his strength, his heart pounding in his rib cage from the second he saw the fragile state of his mate. "Venus please hang on in there, just a little more baby," he whispered, his voice full of fear and worry, as he held her small frame closer to his chest and ran faster. _________________________________ Property ?

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT VOTE AND COMMENT NSKSKSKKSSLS chapter 16 chapter 16 "ARE YOU KIDDING ME ITS BEEN A FUCKING MONTH," a deep voice thunders, and secondster the sound of a ss breaking reverberates across the silent room. The air is tense and ragged breathing is heard, after a few moments foot steps leaving and the sound of a door being mmed shut. It was dark, she couldn''t feel her body, she was trying to open her eyes but they refused to open, after a long hard struggle Venus opened her eyes to an empty hospital room, no one was there, they had left, and before she could make a sound she had already drifted back to her unconscious state. ------------------------------------------------------------ Heated with rage and restlessness Dante skimmed across the piles and piles of paperwork in his office. His dark locks dis levelled and a stubble growing on his strong jaw, his body tense and shoulders straight. It had been a month since Venus has got kidnapped, right after she got rushed to the hospital the pack doctor said it was toote and the wolfsbane had already spread across her body, she couldn''t make it. Hearing that Dante was to lose his mate, the alpha threatened to end the pack doctor if he didn''t help his mate heal. After days of uncertainty and constant rushing back and forth, a lot of wolfsbane got manager to be taken out of Venus''s system, with stomach washes and blood pumps, but in the middle of it all Venus got a seizure. Her body ready to shut down for good, in the midst of panic and fear of losing their Luna, the pack doctor demanded the alpha to give Venus his blood, because since her wolf was not there to heal her and all the wolfsbane in her body she did not stand a chance. Dante quickly bit into his wrist, canines extended, and he put his then bloody wrist to Venus''s mouth while holding down her thrashing body with the other, making her drink his blood, and since he was a lycan and an alpha, his blood was strong enough to stop her seizure and since that day, they would inject his blood into her to help her heal. Dante rubbed his face in exhaustion, he missed her, and he just wanted her back, the thought of losing her made his lycan go crazy. "You know if you re at those papers a while longer they might catch fire," a voice teased from the doorway. Dante looked up to see Ariana leaning again the door frame with her arms crossed, doing nothing to hide the cleavage that was ready to spill over her flimsy shirt. "What is it?" Dante grumbled, looking back at the papers. "You just seem so tense Dante, i just wanted to talk," she said, walking towards him while swaying her slim hips. "You will address me as Alpha, and your presence is not needed," Dante said coldly. Ariana pouted and stood in front of his chair. "Dante don''t be mean, have you forgotten all those times you''d call me at night wanting me-" she said seductively, as she moved his chair around so he was facing her. "All those times I''ve screamed out your name when you were so deep insi-" she got cut off by a loud ferocious growl, Dante stood to his full length, his eyes turning dark, his lycan was taking over, just to think of anyone other than his mate made him snap. "If you ever evene near me again I''ll kill you," Dante hissed in rage, his eyes now aplete demonic ck. Knox and Gabriel who were walking towards the office witnessed a sobbing and trembling Ariana leave the alphas office, startled they looked at each other and ran in, Dante had his hip perched against the dark mahogany desk as he looked out the window, his shoulders taunt and the air tense. "Dante what happened," knox asked, cautiously. The alpha scoffed, "She tried to seduce me, the bitch, thest time she tried Venus almost killed her, and this time I almost did, had Venus been here she-" he stopped, and an eerie silence settled in the office room. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. The beta and gamma looked at each other, they both knew their alpha missed their luna terribly. "Dante we know its hard right now, but keep the faith for her, she needs you a-" Gabriel got cut off when his eyes got zed over, someone was mind linking him. Dante turned around and ced his hands on the desk, a frown on his face. Gabriel blinked back and gulped. "Its Venus- shes awake," Without a second to waste Dante was out of the door and making his way towards the pack hospital. He rushed into her room and found doctors and nurses surrounding her, as she calmly sat with her hands folded in herp, the bruises from her face gone and just a bandage wrapped around her head from getting her head hit. Venus looked his way and blinked. No one moved. "Venus," Dante called out softly, afraid to startle her. The doctors took that as they cue to leave. She still didn''t move and just stared at him. "Baby say something, i missed you so much," Dante said, sitting next to her on the bed and gently taking her small hands in hisrge rough ones. Venus was confused, who was this man? "Who are you?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. Dante didn''t bat an eye. "Sweetheart do you not remember who i am?" He asked mly, still keeping his fear of the fact that she might have forgotten him under control. "No," Dante was quiet and only nodded his head, and after a few moments of tense silence he spoke up. "Venus, im your mate, Dante," "Dante?" She said, testing his name and he loved the way it rolled off her tongue. "Yes," "We are mates?" She asked "Yes we are," "Oh," was her only reply "Do you remember anything?" He asked, frowning. "I-I''m not so sure, i tried to remember but my head hurts when i do," she said, wincing slightly, and Venus was dumbstruck by how at ease she felt with this tall dark and handsome man that was apparently her ''mate''. "Hey its okay, just don''t tire yourself out, but can you try remembering thest thing?" He asked, trying to make her feelfortable and not pressurised. "Thest thing I remember is being in a gas station," she said. Dante bit his lower nip and nodded in thought. Venus then assessed him, he was tall and broad, with a muscr build, tattoos elongated on his arms and his face ruggedly handsome. He was beautiful, a sight for sore eyes. His being screamed power and strength. "Why cant i feel my wolf?" Venus asked quietly. ________________________________________ Hello darlings, Yes i am backk, so yeah ...

"And what about her head injury," Dante asked, keeping his voice emotionless and face nk. " its hard to say at the moment, her memories mighte back of they might not, but since a trigger is needed to make her remember try doing activities with her that you used to, it might work but there is no guarantee," he said cautiously. Dante growled lowly, he wanted Venus to get her memories back the sooner they could. ------------------------------------------------------- And in the hospital room, james and sophia were helping Venus get ready to leave for the house. They had introduced themselves as her friends and she feltfortable around them. "Hey can i ask you guys something?" Venus said. James and Sophia looked over at each other and then nodded at her. "I asked Dante where my wolf was and he said she was ... Gone but for now only, do you- do you know when she might being back?" Venus said, her voice a choked whisper in the end as tears gathered in her eyes, she felt alone without her wolf toplete her as a whole, she felt empty. James and Sophia sat on either side of Venus on the hospital bed and consoled her. "Venus, you are our luna, Dante is an alpha and a lycan, his lycan is already in search of your wolf, and as for you, keep on calling her, pray to the moon goddess and soon you will have her back, dont stress out okay, if you need anything Sophia and i are here, we all are family, and family sticks together remember," James said, as his voice became thick with emotion and Sophias eyes also watered, Venus was like a sister to them now and seeing her so lost and confused tore at them. As the three enveloped each other into a tight group hug and cried silently, and thats how their mates found them. "Sophia-" "Are you three always-" "VENUS WHAT HAPPENED-" Obviously thest one was Dante who was by Venus''s side in a sh and he pulled her up to his chest and gently held her to himself, then wiped away a few tears off her face with his thumb, as he cradled her face in his hands looking at her for signs of hurt, worry etched across his handsome features. Venus giggled lightly at his concern and Dante found a smile tugging at his lips when he heard the sound. Beautiful, he thought. "Are you ready to leave?" Dante asked lowly, wanting his mate and his mate alone to see the soft side of him, not anyone else. Venus nodded and Dante sped her hand in hisrge ones and led her to the car, where they sat and headed back home. Once they reached Venus was in awe of the beauty of therge mansion, it was stunning. As she stood in the foyer and examined everything, "This is your home," she asked "No this is just my house," he replied, as he sped his hands behind his back and the white tee he wore stretched deliciously across the broad expanse of his chest and shoulders. Venus shook her head, what is wrong with me? She thought. "You live here alone?" She asked once again. Dante nodded and looked at her with an emotion in his eyes that Venus couldn''t catch, because it disappeared as soon as it came. "Come ill show you around if youre not tired," Dante said, walking into the living room. "Yes please I''d like to see around," And Dante showed Venus around the house and got her ustomed to the main ces like the living room, the kitchen, his office and the dining room. "And this is your room," he said, as they finally came to the end of the tour. Venus peeped her head through the door, the room was simple yet stunning. "Thank you," she said, smiling up at him. "Any time sweetheart," he whispered roughly, as he bent down and ced a firm kiss on her forehead. "The room next to yours is mine so if you need anything," Venus nodded and then entered the room, looked around for a while, there were clothes and all hung in C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. the wardrobe, half shampoo bottles and all those things. I must have been using them before i forgot huh, she thought. As she made herself a nice warm bubble bath, stepped out of he clothes and sunk into the tub, letting out a deep rxed sigh of content. The tiredness and warm bath got to her, and slowly without knowing she drifted off to sleep. ------------------------------------------------------ It was past 4 and Venus had still note out of her room, confused Dante knocked on her door once and then again to get no reply, worried he then used the master key to open her room. Dead silence in the room, Now hastily Dante ran into the washroom to find his luna in a bathtub asleep, in a hurry he ran to her, her body was freezing cold and so was the once warm water, aware that she was a human now so she could easily get sick, he cussed under his breath and picked up a bug fluffy towel, gently picking her up, keeping his gaze on her face and not going lower as he was fully aware of he bare state, like a baby he wrapped her in the towel. Venus now awake from her deep slumber fluttered her eyes open to find herself in thick muscled arms, a towel wrapped around her, she then looked up to see Dante clenching and unclenching his jaw. As if sensing his little mates eyes on him he looked down at her, as her big doe eyes were regarding him with curiosity, she looked like a little kitten. But he was angry at her. "Ill get you some clothes, change," he said gruffly, walking into her dressing room and picking out an oversized shirt and leggings. Venus sensed tension. Clutching the towel to herself she then went to the dressing room and changed silently while Dante sat in her room on her bed, arms resting on his knees, his tall masculine frame tense. After changing she got out and looked at him, twisting her fingers in nervousness. "Is something wrong," she asked cautiously. His jaw ticked and he raised stormy eyes to her nervous ones. "You know you could have worsened your state and got yourself sick right," he said through clenched teeth. Venus looked from his eyes to the ground, knowing what she did was wrong, he was already so worried and now that she could have gotten herself sick or even drowned! Heavy footsteps and she then felt his grab her chin gently but firmly. "I want you to look at me when I''m talking to you sweetheart," he said. She bit her lip and looked up at his beautiful eyes, the green a vibrant shade against the darkness of the room and the blue reminding her of ciers dissolving into deep blue oceans. "Dante im sorry i-" she got cut off when he growled lowly, A look of carnal hunger in his eyes, as he eyed what was his, telling himself to hold back and take it slow, but he couldn''t. "Fuck it," he whispered roughly and crashed his lips onto her soft ones. ____________________________________ Hello darlings, I meant to update yesterday because i was done with it but just didn''t edit. So yes here it is and well, uhhh i know too much looool Show your love Vote andment Peace out. chapter 18 chapter 18 "So in a way its your first kiss," James said, as he helped Venus fix her closet. While sophia sat on the bed, leg over the other, her skirt riding up as she sat, revealing her slim model like legs, and Venus stood in a towel with her hair dripping. "In a way," Venus mumbled, recalling how gently but firmly Dante had kissed her, opening her mouth with his to slowly thrust his sinful tongue into her mouth and slide it against hers, then nibbling and sucking on her lower lip, it was as if a starved man was allowed food after a wait thatsted for eternity. The truth was, Venus was shying away from him. "Bitch you better call me when shit like that goes down m hmm," James said sassily, cocking his hip out. Venus then changed into a herfy clothes, a full sleeves pain shirt that ended right under her navel and grey sweats. And since their mates were out for a pack meeting they decided to be productive and bakes some Property ? N?velDrama.Org. brownies and cookies. As they sted Post Malone in the kitchen and tried to get Venus to loosen up, also tryna get her to remember, because Post Malone was her favourite artist. "YOU PROBABLY THINK THAT YOU ARE BETTER NOW, BETTER NOW!" Sophia and James sang on top of their lungs as they mixed the batter and Venus swayed her hips to the beat. "You only say that cuz im not around, not around, you know i never meant to let you down, let you down," in the beginning only Sophia and James sang, since Venus didn''t remember the song she was quiet, but without realising, she sang the lyrics. Sophia and James stopped short, froze and looked at each other with jaws dropped and eyes wide. As without knowing Venus silently sang the song till the end and then whipped up the batter into the dish. "VENUS?!" James and Sophia eximed, as they tackled their confused luna into a hug. "OMG OMG YOU REMEMBERED THE SONG YOU REMEMBERED THE SONG ITS POST I MEAN NSKSKSK!" They both kept on squealing and jumping and prancing about the kitchen in utter excitement is when she realised that she had sung a song she didnt know, she remembered something she once knew. A bright smile graced her lips as they allughed loudly and embraced each other, it was the moment of true bliss and real friendship between the three that made it all so much better, it was the fact that they were family and they genuinely felt excited upon the sess of another, Venus, despite that only a small bit of her memory waltzed across her mind, she feltplete knowing she had a family who cared dearly for her. As they then sat on the kitchen counter and waited for the cookies and brownies to bake, gossiping and talking about nothing and everything. Late in the afternoon their mates returned to find them sprawled across the sofas in the living room, with their hands over their mouth and stomachs and their faces pale, empty dishes on the table in front of them and Lucifer ying on the TV. "What on earth-" Knox started but got cut off when James let out a loud groan, rolling over and then falling on the ground with a thump. "This is all- herrrrr fault," James slurred, as he sluggishly pointed at Venus. Offended and with the little strength left in her Venus sat up groggily and scowled, "Me?! Nah uh Sophia was the one who said lets have an eatingpetition of who can finish off the most cookies and brownies an-" Venus stopped short as she pressed her fist to her closed mouth and her cheeks rounded, she was going to throw up. The alpha with his gamma and beta stood shell shocked, their mates really excessively had too much sweet food and now they were sick. "I swear I''m gonna kill, you both," Sophia threatened, fixing her disarrayed hair. James and Venus scowled at her and said nothing. Gabriel gave James a pointed look to which he rolled his eyes, picked up his stuff and tucked his hand into his mates and they walked out of the mansion. Knox then mumbled something under his breath as he picked his mate up like a sack of potatoes and slung her over his shoulder, walking away with a low on energy Sophia dangling from his shoulder. While Dante went up to Venus, and gently picked her up bridal style and headed up to her room, he put her on the bed and went back down to get her some medicine to help with her stomach ache, as she shook her head and scrunched her nose at the foul smell, but Dante wasn''t having any of it as he pressed her to his chest and held her in ce gently but firmly and fed her the medicine like a baby. Dante then sat on the bed while Venus was lying down, eyes droopy and body sprawled. Suddenly she let out a giggle. Dante turned around to look at her, confused as to what she found funny. "Whats got youughing baby?" He asked. She let out another adorable giggle, and she looked a bit drunk too. "Remember when i first stumbled into your pack, your patrol guys were so dumb i even kicked one in the nuts!" Venus eximed,ughing profusely as she held her stomach and rolled to the side. Dante froze. "Oh Dante, it was so funny the look on his face-" she cut off again because she couldn''t stopughing. Dante felt like he was in a haze, she remembered? Her memory was back? "Venus, Venus look at me, how do you remember that," dante asked firmly, grasping her by the waist and pulling her to him, as she sluggishly sat by his side still giggling. "I do, why you don''t?" She asked, as she once again dissolved into gales of mirth, grabbing Dantes arm and shaking it back and forth Because of how hard she wasughing. "Venus answer me," dante growled lowly, annoyed. "Oooo your eyes get shiny, hey do you know i love both your eye colours, like the green is so beautiful and the blue is just stunning, is is possible you give me some colour from your eyes because mine are just a in brown," venus whined, and then pouted up at him, her eyes dted. Fuck, dante thought. She was on a sugar rush. "Venus listen to me y-" dante got cut off when venus yawned andy her head on the pillow behind her, the second her head hit the pillow she was out like a light. Dante stood, mouth gaping. What just happened? Did she get her memories back? What was going on? Were all the alphas thoughts as he pulled the covers over his adorable little mate, leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her rosy pink lips, and left the room to find out what he had just seen. _______________________________________ Hello darlings, So here is another chapter sorry imte i had some thing to get to, also im gonna be updating again in a few days to give you guys a chapter, i will be leaving the country for 2 weeks so i wont update till i am back. Love you all. Show your love and support Like andment Peace out chapter 19 chapter 19 Venus woke up to the sun glinting through the windows,zily she opened one eye while yawning and rubbing the other, stretching lightly, she felt like she had been ran over by a truck. Just then there was a knock on the door and the pack house cook, Elsa, a wonderfuldy in her 50s, peeked through the door and smiled warmly at Venus. "Good morning darling, how are you feeling?" She asked, patting Venus''s cheek in a motherly way. "Im good else thank you," Venus said smiling. "Well darling go freshen up and get ready, I''ve cooked breakfast for you,e down then before it gets cold," Elsa said. "Wheres Dante?" Venus asked "Oh the alpha had some meetings to attend to, he told me to make you breakfast as you were in a dispositionst night," elsa said, walking out of the room. Venus then freshened up and wore blue shorts and a soft coloured yellow tee. She then had her breakfast and went to grab a book to read, as she sat in the living room with a warm mug of green tea. Feeling a little sad she wasn''t able to see Dante in the morning, and she also felt an iing headache, which she ignored and went back to reading her book. --------------------------------------------------------------- "No how is that possible?" Dante asked, as he stood in the pack meeting room with the elders and the pack doctor, his forearms braced on therge mahogany table. "Your lycan, alpha, its powerful, its call is potent as it is and then a call to its own mate would be like a sirens calling, her wolf surfacedst night, and we''ve only seen one case like this before and it was a myth heard, read in books," the elder said. "Alpha i don''t think-" Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. "What was in the books," dante demanded through clenched teeth. "Your lycans calling, to her wolf, we don''t think shes healed enough to withstand the sudden overtake of her wolf back on her,st night as you said she remembered, that means her wolf surfaced, now your lycans calling is stronger to her wolf and where ever she is, shes going toe running, her presence would be like a tidal wave crashing on venus, i don''t think she can take the sudden burden of her wolfs reappearance, especially that shes not entirely healed alpha," the pack doctor said. "Whats the worst that could happen?" Knox asked darkly, looking at the pack doctor, who gulped audibly and pulled at the cor of his shirt. "You see beta knox it-" "Spit it out," Gabriel growled impatiently. "It could kill her," the pack doctor let out in a choked voice. And the heavy tense silence that filled the room afterwards was deafening. "How long?" Dante asked through clenched teeth, the irises of both eyes darkening with rage. "How long before what?" The elders asked. "How long before her wolfes back?" Dante growled, mming his fists against the table making even the strongest of warriors leap with fear. "Thats the thing alpha, it could be any time, once shes surfaced we never know when her wolf will be back, it could be today or tomorrow, maybe even a year from now," the pack doctor said. "If it does happen, how do we lessen the presence of her wolf enough that her body could withstand it," dante asked emotionlessly. The sweating pack doctor unbuttoned the top button of his dress shirt and took his sses off, a grave look on his face. "You''ll need a miracle alpha," he said. Hearing this Dantes lycan was ready to rage, he needed venus. He stood up angrily and stormed off the pack room, with everyone else looking at him in distress, and worry for their luna. It was around 4 when Dante walked through the front door, the house beingpletely silent, confused he walked up to her room to find it empty, he went down to the living room and still saw no signs of her, slightly fearful of where she was he quickly started checking everywhere, no signs of her. He quickly walked into his room to wear joggers to go find her when he saw her sleeping peacefully on his bed, a book beside her. Sighing a breath of relief he walked towards her, slowly tucking a stand of hair behind her ear, she stirred a bit and then opened her eyes to see her mate in front of her. A bright smile graced her rosy lips upon seeing him, as he chuckled at her happy state, his lycan prideful that she was happy upon seeing him. "Hey baby," "Hi," she said back shyly. "So raiding my bed huh," he asked. Venus blushed deeply and hid her face in the pillow, enticing a deep throatyugh from Dante who pulled her by the waist and up against his chest. "I missed you," she whispered softly, with her head on his chest and arms around his neck, because of his height she was able to do so, while she stood on the bed and him on the ground. Arms around her waist he kissed her forehead and said nothing. After dinner they both sat in the kitchen, talking about pack stuff and dante trying to avoid the question of how she was going to get healed fully again as she asked him over and over. She didn''t need to know. "Dante stop avoiding the question and tell me what the doctor said, how long before i fully heal and how?" She asked persistently. He clenched his jaw and said nothing. "Dante i asked you a quest-" "Dammit venus can you shut up i said i don''t know!" He said loudly, making her jump. Breathing heavily, angry at himself for losing control and scaring her, he got up and left the kitchen before he said something he didn''t mean again. He knew venus enough, he knew she would do anything to get her wolf back, even if it meant her life at stake, but that was a risk he was not willing to take, ever. He couldn''t by any means lose her, she meant too much to him. As she watched him storm out of the kitchen she stood frozen in her ce, he had never raised his voice at her, and he did now. She felt an ache in her chest, as angry tears filled her eyes, falling over. She brushed them off angrily and started putting the dishes in ce, her lower lip trembling. Venus then realised that her mate had got really angry at her, she wasn''t used to it, she had only seen his soft side ever since she woke up in that hospital room, this was new to her, she couldn''t ept it. His words hurt her, and his tone made her crack under his resolve as she sat on the marble floor near the kitchen counter and cried. Hot tears running down her face as she sniffed and curled up into a ball, resting her head on her knees. After a while she stopped crying, once again a headache was forming, it was stronger than thest one she tool pain killers for, shakily she stood up to get to the living room, half was through pain sliced through her, she felt as if someone mmed a rock against her head and her knees shook. Holding her head in her hands she slowly started walking towards the living room when another wave of pain hit her, this time making her fall to the ground, as she sat on her knees a loud groan escaping her. "D-dante," she called out chokingly. Another stronger wave of pain hit her, this time she screamed. "DANTE!" As she fell to the ground sideways, her vision going dark and feeling like someone was hitting a hammer on her head. And an ear deafening scream pierced the air, as the next moment she felt like this was her end. Dante was just walking back to the house when he heard her blood curling scream and he sprinted towards the house and barrelled through the door to see Venus on the ground, curled up clutching her head and screaming. "VENUS!" He thundered and quickly ran to her side, her eyes still clenched shut as she tried pulling at her hair from the sheer pain. "VENUS STOP," he said, but it was as if she didn''t even know he was there. Dante picked her up and ran out of the house, as Venus started shaking in his arms, her screams filled the night air, running with all his might into the pack hospital. This gave him nostalgia, of how he was carrying her out of the warehouse, he prayed the oue wasn''t the same asst night but deep down he knew it would be worst because of her current condition. ____________________________________ Hello darlings im backkk, Sorry for the few days dy some stuff came up, so heres another chapter, please follow me or smth so the next time i post an announcement you guys get it.

Her wolf was back, she felt it. Her memories were back too and she felt as if she was floating amongst its abyss, her body numb and cold. Yet something- someone was calling out to her. Her mates lycan was beckoning her to regain consciousness, toe back to her and she heard the call like a siren, mustering up all of her energy she twitched her eyes, her body wanted to shut down but her wolf was pushing through, needing her mate. "Dante," she spoke but her voice came out hoarse. In a sh her hand was epassed in arge rough one, sparks ignited and she heard the fast beeping of a monitor, her heart beat. It was as if someone was giving her strength. Her wolf was out with the touch of her mate. Dante watched Venus''s body twitch a bit, the doctors right by them, waiting. Her eyes snapped open, glowing eyes, not her warm brown orbs. Her wolf was out. In a sh she had jerked upright in bed and was scanning her surroundings, the minute her eyes over there still wasn''t enough energy in her body to work. "Easy there sweetheart," dante said, making venus sit back on the bed. One nod at the doctors and they were gone. "Dante," kaya called out, her eyes aglow and her voice slightly deeper than Venus''s. "Yes love?" "Enzo?" Kaya asked, tilting her bandaged head to the side His chest rumbled withughter at her cute gesture, "Not now love, but after Venus is better then yes." "Can you give Venus control now?" Dante asked. After a moments hesitation Kaya nodded and closed her eyes, after a deep breath in she opened her eyes, Dante was greeted with doe brown eyes. "Venus?" He called out, unsure of what state she was in. Venus blinked and looked up at her beautiful mate who was looking down at her with concern etched across his chiseled features.Property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Baby, why don''t you lie down," he said, gently pushing her down onto the bed but Venus shook her head vigorously, not able to find her voice. Tears filled her eyes as she held onto her mates strong arms and pulled him down and raised her head up, cing her lips on his. Dante froze for a spilt second, caught off guard but soon started to move his lips with hers, feeling its softness, as she fitted the contours of her mouth into his, moving her lips against his and gripping onto him, as he traced his tongue on the seam on her lips, she didn''t open her mouth for him but kissed his tongue instead, then pulled back. Breathing heavily, hearts thundering. He leaned back in and kissed her lips again, then her forehead. As a soft smile yed on her lips. "I missed you," he whispered to her achingly. With tears in her eyes she looked up at her forever and smiled at him, cing her hand against his cheek. "I missed you more." ----------------------------------------------------- "As for now everything seems okay, but if somethinges upe to me immediately," the pack doctor said, shuffling the papers in his hand into a neat pile, smiling at his slightly pale luna who gave him a weak smile. They set off back home with a diet n to get Venus''s body healthy, and some medicines so she could heal quickly. "Dante i can walk just fine," venus whined, as dante insisted on carrying her. "This is not up for discussion," he said, holding her closer to himself. "Hmph, I''m not a baby," venus said, scowling at him in an adorable manner,ughing at her antics he leaned down to press a kiss to the tip of her nose. "Yeah you''re not, but you''re my luna which makes you my responsibility," he said, carrying her up the staircase into his room. "Hey this is your roo-" venus was cut off when she saw that his room waspletely redone, it looked more like ''their'' room than his. "Ummm how- what?" "Our room," he corrected. Venus looked at him verily, but he shook his head at her. "Doctors orders sweetheart, i cant let you out of my side and definitely not at night, and-" he was about to say something else but stopped. "And what?" Venus urged. He sighed and sat on their bed, making her sit in hisp, "Venus, I-i haven''t been the mate you deserve or anything close to it for that matter, and i know it took me hell to get that but fuck me, baby I''ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you, till myst breath, you mean everything to me venus," he said, his voice gentle. "Dante i-" "Shh darling let me finish, and if you''ll have me i wanna have forever with you, let me love you and treat you like my everything, whereter on the line we will have a family together, you''ll be by my side forever and I ll give you all that you can imagine, I love you venus." Her breath caught in her throat from the emotion in his voice, his barriers down, he was just Dante now, not a feared lycan or an alpha, this was just her dante. "I love you more dante." His eyes softened further and he pulled her to him, cradling her to his chest, resting his chin on her head, cing a kiss there and then just feeling her in his arms, her warmth and her scent. They were one now, and this, This was the start of their forever. _______________________________ Hello darlings, Im so sorry college started and I was all over the ce with it but now dw I''ll be updating every Friday, promise. now I''m into a routine so its easier for me to manage, thank you so much for being patient with me, i love yall. show your love, vote andment, peace out. chapter 21 chapter 21 "I dont know she was freaking out she wouldn''t tell me over the phone," "She said nothing at all ?!" "Not a word, but her voice was shaking, something is very wrong with her Venus I''m telling you!" James eximed. As Venus and him got into the car to drive over to Sophia''s ce after getting a distressing call of her sobbing but not stating what was wrong. "Goddess help," Venus mumbled, worried for her friend. After the car ride filled with tense silence both the friends upon reaching Sophia''s house sprinted out of the car and towards the main door, James practically barrelling through it. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. They went in to see the house was a mess, broken chair, photo frames on the floor, shattered ss and pillows everywhere. Now the intense worry kicked in, they picked up her scent, she was in her room upstairs. The ran up and into her room to see sophia curled into a ball on her bed, sobbing. "SOPHIA," they both eximed and embraced their friend into a tight hug, as she held onto them both, her baby blue eyes blood shot and face red, the poor girl looked absolutely broken. After she calmed down they made her tell them what happened, and sophia silently got up and made them take out three sticks and a folded paper, it was a opened present. What both of them saw made them gasp loudly and look at each other with wide eyes. "Wait what," james whispered, bewildered "Sophia have you double checked?" Venus asked trying to remain calm, Sophia nodded and said "Yeah i even went to the pack doctor and its confirmed, Im pregnant." "Sophia why on earth are you sad and crying have you lost your mind this is amazing news, go tell knox right now!" Upon hearing that sophia started crying again. "For goodness sake sophia whats wrong?!" James asked. "ITS KNOX, I TOLD HIM, I SURPRISED HIM THAT IM PREGNANT AND HE LOST IT, FLIPPED EVERYTHING UPSIDE DOWN AND LEFT THE HOUSE, HE HASNT BEEN BACK SINCE MORNING AND ITS 4 NOW!" Sophia cried out, as big tears started rolling down her face. James and venus were is disbelief. "What?" Venus breathed, not able to believe that he left his mate in such a distressed state after hearing she was pregnant, when she needed even more care, and knox always had been so fragile with sophia what had happened now? She wondered as she looked at james who wasforting sophia with the same look on his face. This wasnt like knox at all. Nodding at james venus moved out the room to call dante and ask him to call knox. "Hey baby," Right on the second ring dante picked up the phone, his deep baritone humming through the speakers. "Hi," venus said Instantly knowing something was wrong he asked, "Whats wrong?" "I- its sophia, do you know where knox is?" "Baby give him space, theres a lot you don''t know," dante sighed, as the sounds of paper shuffling came from the other side of the phone. "Dante what are you talking about, sophia is in such a fragile state she doesn''t need this shit and definitely not from her own mate!" Venus eximed, feeling agitated over everything. "Calm down sweetheart, I''ll talk to him," he cajoled. Venus sighed and mumbled an okay as she bid him bye and put the phone down, biting her lip, wondering what to do next. Returning back to the room, venus pulled sophia into a tight hug and they decided to spend the house at hers, event the environment in sophias house was so morbid with the over turned chairs and broken ss, it was hard to breathe. Packing night wear the three friends got into the car, decided to freshen up and stop at james ce, then headed out for ice cream. "God it smells so bad here," sophiained, looking much more fresh after taking a shower and changing, now they could see her pregnancy glow, they sat in a human owned ice cream, parlour. Yes werewolves had heightened senses but they could shut them out. Frowning james says, "Ummm soph you can block it out," "Bitch i know, but its still so ew," sophia said, being a bit too dramatic. As venus giggled, it was the pregnancy hormones. After 5 scoops of different vours on sophias part they returned home, stopping at the gas station because sophia wanted .... Peanut butter and pickles. When James questioned the pregnant woman, she started crying, saying they were calling her fat, as a horrified James tried to console sophia, telling her thats not what he meant at all. After getting snacks for the night they headed home, just as they parked the car in the garage, the main door opened and dante, Gabriel and knox stepped out, all wearing formal attire and a frown on knoxs face. The minute they stepped out of the car, knox tilted his head up, closed his eyes and took a deep whiff, his eyes snapped to sophias wide blue ones who looked scared, his eyes softened. Tense silence settled. "James, i wanna go back," sophia whispered, her hand protectively over her very small baby bump, hands fisting the lock on the car. Knox saw the protective mother stance and started walking towards her, sophia on alert moved back, hurt triggered in his silver grey eyes but he concealed it. "Sophiae here," knox said, in a t tone. She clutched the hem of her sundress as if ready to run, she shook her head wildly and whispered no. "Sophia i saide here," knox said again, his eyes carrying a warning. Her lips started trembling and tears formed in her eyes and she again shook her head and choked on her words saying no. Knox was about to move and grab her arm but venus stepped in front of him, eyes ring daggers. "Beta I believe she said no two times," venus said, her voice icy cold, Kaya triggered. "Step aside, this is our matter," knox said coldly, looking at sophia. "N-no stay away from me, if this was our matter you shouldn''t have stormed out on me in the first ce after trashing the house and acting like aplete son of a bitch!" Sophia screamed, tears streaming down her beautiful face as she regarded her mate with furious yet heartbroken eyes. "Everyonee inside right now!" Dante thundered, amand in his voice, and the alpha had spoken, everyone was to oblige. James and venus on either side of sophia headed inside and they all settled in the living room, the three friends sitting across their mates. The first to speak was sophia. ______________________________________ Hello darlings, Heres another one, and this book only has a few more chapters left till we take it to an end, thank you so much for the support, Show your love Vote andment Peace out chapter 22 chapter 22 "Its better sophia and knox talk about this alone," dante said, his eyes giving a knowing look to knox who''s jaw was ticking all the while as he stared at his mate who was wringing her fingers together out of nervousness, not looking up at him. "N-no, i dont wanna talk to him alone, had he been civil he would have sorted everything out with me then, he took it to this level now he has to say everything now," sophia said, trying to look brave but she silently shook under her mates prating gaze, as he gave her a look of warning. "Sophia, baby it''ll be better if we talk about this alone," knox stated, this time speaking gently, his grey eyes now assuring, but sophia stubborn as always refused her mates request and looked the other way. "You wanna know why i did what i did?" Now it was knoxs turn to lose his temper, as his handsome face turned dark and his eyes became cold. "You wanna know why I didn''t want you pregnant??

Sophia started sobbing, venus and james holding onto her, frightened by knoxs state while dante and gabriel tried to hold him back. "VENUS LEAVE NOW!" Dante thundered Venus tried to pull sophia up who shook her head, silently telling them to go while she slowly got up and walked towards knox who was held down by dante and gabriel. "Sophia dont!" Gabriel warned, not wanting her fragile state to be put in any harm She gave him a trembling smile and indicated for them to leave. "Sophia i dont think-" dante started but got cut off by sophia who gently held knoxs handsome face between her delicate hands. They took the signal and left, leaving them alone in the living room. He growled loudly and she jumped back in surprise. "Knox," sophia called out softly, looking at the tense tall man in front of her, who had his face turned to the other side breathing heavily. "Baby please look at me," she begged, as she slowly started walking towards him, as his jaw ticked yet he didnt move. She stood in front of his rigid form, achingly slow she stood on her toes and wrapped her arms gently around his neck, pulling him to her for a hug, the fact that a delicate person like sophia was treating someone as strong as knox with such gentleness and care, it pained him, how despite everything she treated him with such care and love. As he breathed in deeply and gently put his arms around her waist, pulling her more closer to himself but he hesitated, he didnt wanna hurt the baby. As if sophia read his mind she giggled at him and shook her head, taking hisrge hand she ced it on her very small baby bump and looked at knox with blue eyes wide with wonder. Knox stood there in awe, and everything started sinking in, he was going to be a father. "Im so sorry," he choked out, his grey eyes filled with pain. Sophia shook her head and smiled, standing on her toes to reach his tall height as she ced a soft kiss to his lips, one he was urgent to return but sophia ced her hands on his chest. "Knox i want you to know something, just because there was an incident that happened in the past, doesn''t mean it will happen again and i wish you had told me sooner." "Sophia i wanted to tell you, but i feared you would reject or leave me, you''ve always talked about us having pups of our own but how could i tell you I didn''t want to have any, with this constant thought that i might lose you," knox said firmly, She gently pushed a few locks of hair back from his forehead and looked into his eyes, assuring him. "Im not going anywhere I''m right here, i promise you that, i need you to trust me knox and let go of the past, you are not the reason your mother passed away, its the will of the moon goddess, you cant me yourself, and trust me, I''ve always dreamt of meeting your mother but know she is in a good ce," Knox nodded his head, all the while thinking about how lucky he was to have a mate like sophia, made for him, to spend their lives together. "You know you''re my everything right?" He asked, with so much aching emotion in his voice sophia felt tears fill her eyes, she gave him a teary smile and teased, "Why beta knox you''re too cheesy," "Only for you babe," he teased back with a wink. He dipped his head down and was about to capture her lips, just as he was about to the door was thrown open and stood james and venus panting, eyes wide. Behind them Gabriel groaned and dante rolled his eyes, "Babe i told you they were okay," Gabriel scolded While james gave him a guilty smile and looked back at the beta and his mate. "Wait so everything is okay ....?" Venus asked hesitantly Dante came up behind her and pulled her to himself by her waist, whispering something into her ear that made her blush gorgeously as she lightly elbowed him in the ribs. "Dante!" She hissed, as the alpha smirked at her. "Get a room you two ugh," james muttered. "Can we have dinner first please you guys can fightter im hungry," sophia whined, as knox has his arms protectively around her waist. Everyone chuckled as they now knew sophia would be a hungry she wolf all the time, and before her pregnancy temper kicked in they better get her some food quick. Chuckling they all left the living room to start preparing some dinner, which ended with sophia giving her mate a scolding because he took fries from her te, and as Sophia oh so nicely stated, "BETA KNOX I AM THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD, I AM NOW EATING FOR TWO, IF YOUR FAT SELF WANTS MORE THE KITCHEN IS RIGHT THERE SIR!"

"You''re at my mercy amour," he teased again "Can you shush please im trying to concentrate, i dont know what to do next," she said hesitantly, bent forward. "Anything you do, I''ll love," he said suggestively, as Venus frowned at him and then caught onto the double meaning, giving him a horrified look and threw a chess piece at him. "Monster!" She burst out, smiling at him "Just because youre losing love, look i have your queen cornered," dante pointed out innocently, watching her huff and puff in frustration. Venus made her next move that cost her the game, her jaw dropped when dante announced check mate, furious that she lost she pushed the chess game aside and tackled dante to the carpeted floor, as they wrestled on the ground in the living room and with dante thoroughly enjoying her frustration because it was cute, as tried hitting him but failed and when she got one instead of grunting in pain he "You big fat rock, get off me ugh," venus muttered, trying to get out of dantes clutches. "I am not fat, this is pure muscle baby," he said, winking. "Huh as if THAT matters to me," she said, wiggling under dante to run away. "Oh trust me darling, you wont be saying that," dante husked out, venus knew what he meant, just as Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. surely she realised how sexual their current position was, dante on top of her holding her arms above her head from escaping and venus under him, with him settled between her legs. Upon realisation she blushed crimson and put her hands over her face, above her dante let out a throatyugh. "I haven''t even done anything and you''re already shying away from me," he teased. "Danteeeee stop!" Venus eximed, mortified by what was going on, as the stubborn lycan on top of her dipped his head into the crook of her neck and breathed in deeply, a low growl rumbling from his chest as he whispered ''mine'' and started kissing her neck in a way that had venus dip her fingers into his hair, tugging softly as she became breathless with every passing second. "Youre mine Venus," he growled out again, nipping at her neck. Venus replied with a breathless moan as he sucked on her neck, humming his approval at the sounds she was making, he then moved his attention to her lips, teasing her first, softly skimming his lips over hers until she made a sound of frustration and turned in his arms, now he was under and she was on top, she straddled his waist and brought down her lips on his. Startled by her move, surprised by her passion, dantey still under her as she held his face and kissed him deeply, he returned the kiss with equal fervour and soon they were both a hot mess, rolling around on the carpet, lips locked, hair tangled, hands pulling and grabbing. It wasn''t until venus started unbuttoning his shirt that dante ced a hand over hers to slow her down, thest thing he wanted was their first time to be on a carpet in the living room. "Baby slow down," he husked out, utterly turned on by the sight of her swollen lips and flushed face. She only muttered something and tried unbuttoning his shirt again, angry that it wasn''t opening she tore it right through the middle and dantes brows raised at her actions. "Venus," he called out, holding her by the waist as she started kissing his neck, "Baby wait," he tried again yet she growled and continued, and with no choice he rolled her onto her back, held her hands above her head with his own as she thrashed around. The minute her eyes looked into his Dante knew this wasn''t Venus, it was Kaya, as her eyes glowed marvellously against the dark of the night. "Kaya," dante started, unsure of why she took control, as she raised her hips to his and tried for them to touch, an instinct inside him led to his next move. He leaned down and put his head into her neck as kaya purred with delight, he breathed in sharply shocked at what he found, her scent was a lot more stronger and way more appealing than usual, Venus was in heat. ________________________________ Hello darlings, How did you like this chapter, venus is in heattttt tan tan taaaaaan lets see what happens next huh, so yeah i hope u guys liked this chapter Dont forget to vote andment Peace out chapter 24 chapter 24 "Dante please," venus moaned out, as she tossed to her side in their bed, the alpha stood next to the foot of the bed and shook his head, unable to see his mate in pain. "Hush venus, have the painkiller please," sophia cooed, "Thats not gonna work soph and you know that, unless theyplete the mating process shes gonna be going through this, how about we put her in an ice tub, that will take her heat down a bit," James suggested. As Venus looked at Dante through the tears in her eyes, he clenched his jaw, hating that he wanted to take her pain away but he couldn''t, she wasn''t ready. While Venus in her mind was crying for herself, she thought Dante didn''t want toplete the mating process because he wasn''t ready to finish the bond, that maybe he was having second thoughts about her. A whileter they had venus settled into the ice tub, her pain waves went down a little because of it while Dante threw himself into work, she was looking at him earlier in a way that broke his heart, sophia and James were keeping herpany now. After a few hours sophia came into the office and informed Dante that they were leaving, and that Venus was asleep. Slowly he walked into their room to see her sleeping in a baby pink satin nighty, as it has bunched around the top of her thighs, shing him with the soft skin of the top of her thighs, her scent was already alluring and he barely had any control, this sight had him fighting back for self control. He has his eyes clenched shut, he didn''t realise venus had woken up and was looking right at him. "Dante," she called out softly. He snapped his eyes open and looked right at her, sunlight glinting in her honey brown hair as they tumbled over her shoulders like a faded gold waterfall, thece of her bodice touching the delicate skin of the top of her breasts, as her big doe eyes looked up at him in wonder. His control snapped, and in a sh he had her pinned against the bed, kissing her urgently, as she moaned into his mouth with delight, running her fingers through his hair with every plunge of his tongue into her mouth, raising her head off the bed to get more of him, but he pushed her back down onto the bed, bracing his hands on either side of her, kissing her deeply. Venus was soaring, just his sinful lips on hers was enough to light her body on fire, as he ran his hands over her thighs and she pulled him to herself. Dante needed her, he really needed her, to make her his and finish the bond, heart, body and soul all to be his. He started kissing her neck, as his evident arousal pressed against her and venus moaned loudly. Either it was her exotic loud moan that he heard for the first time, or it was the way he was urgently getting to her made him stop right there, making him realise that had he not stopped he would have taken her right there, their first time would have been a fast rush. He pushed himself off the bed and away from her, and venus looked at him in confusion, thinking she had done something that made him stop. "Dante what happened," she asked "Nothing," he said angrily, angry at himself for treating her in such a way, she deserved it all to be perfect, not the way he dealt with her. Her eyes watered upon hearing his tone, and the look of pure anger he wore on his face, and now her heat struck again and she doubled over, clutching her stomach as she moaned in pain. Dante rushed to her side but she held her hand up, "Stay away from me," she hissed out through her waves of heat, as tears of pain and hurt shined in her eyes, Dante felt a twist in his gut upon her words. "Venus-" "STAY AWAY FROM ME," she screamed when he trieding forward again, she hated that he didn''t want her. "I know you don''t want to finish the bond with me, don''t pretend that you care suddenly, you pity me right now thats what," she said in anger, as tears ran down her face and she looked at Dante usingly. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. He frowned upon her words. "What?" He asked in disbelief over that fact that she thought he didn''t want her. "You think I don''t want you Venus?" He asked again, as he approached her slowly, as her lower lip trembled. "Venus i want every part of you, i wanna kiss and touch all of you, i want to make your soul and body mine, and if you think i don''t want you that''s why I''m notpleting this bond then you''re wrong, you''re not ready yet, and i don''t want our first time to be because we''re forced due to a situation," he growled out, as he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder as she squealed in surprise. "Dante put me down," she hissed out, but he ignored her. He took her into the bathroom and made her sit on the marble b as he while all the while looking at her took his shirt off, he stood in front of her shirtless. "Touch me," he said, his voice hoarse from the strain of controlling himself. Hesitantly she ced her hand on his chest to see his muscles flex under her touch, she gasped and he growled. "Don''t you ever think i don''t want you venus, this is just what your mere innocent touch does to me, i crave you venus," he growled out, cing his hands on either side of her thighs, as he leaned forwards and ced his forehead on her chest, breathing heavily. Venus softly started running her fingers through his hair to help calm him, she then held his face in her hands, made her look up at him and smiled. She leaned forward and firmly ced her lips on his. ____________________________________ Hello lovelies, Yessss here''s another chapter and this is what happened, pls dont kill me i love yall, nsksksksksk, im currently having tests and then exams in December hence why im so busy, A2 is no joke y''all i kid you not.

"Anything else madam," he teased Venus realised he was enjoying her rant and was teasing her over it, she gave him an using look, huffed and crossed her arms over her chest, a pout on her lips. Danteughed out at her antics and yet again captured her lips into another kiss, thest one venus started ended with them both getting too over heated. After he lifted his lips off hers she didn''t let him move, keeping her forehead pressed to his, her arms around his neck and his still around her waist, both breathless from the kiss. She pecked his lips, right before saying what she''d been scared yet desperate to say. "I love you," Dante froze. Venus clenched her eyes shut, bracing herself for the worst, still having her arms around him, she could hear her heartbeat drumming frantically. "I love you more," he husked out. Venus slowly blinked her eyes open to see her mate looking down at her with so much emotion that it made her tear up, she cupped his face in her small hands and gave him a teary smile as tears started running down her face. Dante shook his head at her and pulled her against his chest as she cried into his chest. They were tears of happiness, they both knew. They''d been waiting to hear it, but each of them too scared to say it out loud to the other, it was in the bliss of the moment that they felt their bond strengthen yet more, just three words and they felt like their souls had touched, they held each other for a long while, loving the feel of the other. As Dante wiped her tears away and ced a kiss on her forehead, picking her off the tiled b he held her bridal style as Venus giggled at the smirk on his face, he ced her on the bed and climbed in after her, cing his head on her chest and wrapping his arms around her torso.

The moonlight glinting through the ss windows, falling on the two of them, arge male lying on his stomach, his head on his mates chest as she gently ran her fingers through his hair. Who knew, the most monstrous being would be all cuddled up to his little mate, him being double her size, as he growled lowly in content when she started tracing her fingertips over his tanned, muscled shoulders. He turned his head to the right and nipped at her fingers, as she squealed at him and giggled when he gave her a toothy smile. "You''re such a big baby," venus giggled, giving him a peck on the forehead. "I wanna spoil you with all my love and attention," she whispered. The 6''3 alpha lifted his chiseled face off his mates chest, the green of his eye looking light in colour because of the moonlight while the blue of his other eye looked vibrant in colour, he looked at her in wonder. "Baby I''m supposed to be spoiling you," he whispered, his voice deep, as he ced his head in her neck and ced a kiss there. As she sucked in a deep breath, knowing she''ll never get used to his touch, the sparks that would fly upon their skins touching would never get old. "Nah uh, I''m not into the stereotypes that the guy always has to be the one doing things for the girl, it goes both ways," she pouted. "What did i every do to deserve you," he whispered, almost as if asking himself, still in question of what good he had done to get a pure soul like her in his life, to be by his side forever. Venus kissed the tip of his nose and looked up at him, her eyes shining with so much love for him that Dante felt his heart start thumping fast.

She peeked an eye open to see Dante hovering above her, his dark locks messy, as if it were the most natural thing ever, venus ran her hands through his hair to set aside the stray locks that had fallen over his forehead, he closed his eyes and relished in the feel of her soft touch. "Good morning love," dante said, his voice deep and husky from sleep, "Good morning," venus replier shyly, turning over as her face turned red from his heated gaze. He chuckled above her and kissed her nape, getting out of bed and heading to the washroom to freshen up and venusy in the sheets cuddled, a big smile on her face. After Dante, venus went and freshened up, wearing white shorts with a baby blue tee and some white converse, she had to go to the pack orphanage today. While making breakfast for dante she dropped a spoon and bent down to get it, only to receive a hard squeeze and smack to her derri¨¨re, Venus jumped, fully ready to smack the culprit across the face but Dante had already ran out of the kitchen, a sly smirk on his face. Sophia and Venuster in the day head out to the orphanage, James had gone to another pack with Gabriel for some work. The pack care taker greeted them politely, she was a lovely woman in her 40s. "Hello luna, my name is Greta I''m the caretaker of the packs orphanage, hello sophia," she said, hugging sophia and giving venus a warm smile. "Oh please call me Venus, and its lovely to meet you Greta," venus didn''t want to be called upon as luna, she wanted everyone to be at ease with her. "As you say venus,e this way, the children are decorating the back yard fences and walls, we thought we''d let them be creative on their own," greta said, picking up an adorable little girl of no more than 2 and bncing her on he hip. "How many kids are here," venus asked, giving the little girl a soft smile. "About 47 now right greta?" Sophia asked, as she woulde to the orphanage frequently, she was familiar with the kids. "Yes 45 actually, two pups got adopted yesterday," greta said, smiling widely as she gave the news to sophia who shared an equally happy reaction. The little girl in gretas arms extended her little chubby arms towards venus, her big green eyes wide in wonder, "Pwetty," she said in a soft adorable voice as she pointed at Venus''s hair. "Why thank you baby, you''re much too pretty," venus said, taking little poppy as greta told her name, into her arms, as poppy yed around with her hair. With Poppy in her arms they went to the back yard to see many kids running around and ying, giggles andughter could be heard all across, there were 7 other caretakers along with Greta. The oldest kids were of 14-16 while the youngest was Poppy herself, of 2 years. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. Greta called out to all the kids and told them to assemble into a line and meet their luna, obediently they did as they were told and collectively greeted venus. She smiled widely at all of them as they all sat in a circle and introduced themselves. The day went by with venus ying around and helping all the kids decorate, spending lunch time with them and reading them stories. "Luna, is the alpha actually really big and scary," John asked, being no more than 8 and a very curious child with high intellect. Venus giggled and shook her head, "He''s a very brave and good man, hees off as scary so people don''t mess with him, but really he''s not scary at all, unless you eat his food then he''s really mean, much like the grinch then," she joked as all the kids dissolved into gales ofughter at the thought of their big alpha being grumpy just cuz someone took his food. "Luna is it true he has many many scars on his body from all the battles he''s fought," Ang asked, as she blonde curls bounced with every little movement she made. "No sweetheart, he does like a few scars but not that many," "How much do you love the alpha?" Lia asked, as the 15 year old giggled and so did everyone else, as venus blushed at the question and greta gently reprimanded the kids to not ask such questions. The afternoon passed with teasing and fun, just when they were about to leave venus noticed a little boy of 6 years sitting in the corner alone, she hadn''t seen him since she hade. "Thats evan, he joined us a few months ago, he doesn''t sit with the other kids and prefers to be alone," greta said from beside her, as if sensing Venus''s confusion. "And he-," "Yes he cant walk, needs crutches or a wheelchair, we''ve provided both so he can use which ever he''s Venus nodded and started making her way towards him, he was a very beautiful child, electric blue eyes, jet ck hair and tanned skin with light freckled on his nose. "Hello there," venus said, crouching down in front of his seat and giving him a bright smile. Young evan said nothing, "Im venus, whats your name?" His blue eyes regarded her cautiously, "Evan," he replied lowly after a while. Venus beamed at him and tried to start a conversation, asking his age and what his hobbies were, after cajoling and giving him time he would quietly give one word answers but venus was not phased by them, she considered it as a win that he even looked her way. Bidding everyone goodbye and promising toe visit soon venus headed for the door, she was meeting greta and was about to leave when she felt little arms wrap around her leg. She looked down to see Poppy looking up at her with big green eyes, her lips formed into a sad pout, venus almost passed out from how adorable the sight was. Picking her up and giving her a kiss on the nose she said, "I promise ill be back soon okay," "N-no go," poppy said, as her lower lip trembled and her eyes watered, "Oh no no baby no don''t cry please, hey I''ll be back tomorrow okay, i promise," venus said, ready to do anything so little poppy didn''t cry. She sniffled cutely and rubbed her eyes, "Pwomise?" "I promise baby," venus said softly, giving her a kiss on the cheek as poppy her head on Venus''s shoulder and cuddled to her, venus stood there gently patting her back as her eyes now started to water, she didn''t want to leave these kids. Dante standing across the pack orphanage saw the entire exchange, after Knox and him heard that their mates came here, they finished off their work and decided to pick them up. Seeing how poppy was clinging to his mate and how gently she was with the kids, dante now more than ever wanted to start a family with her, he wanted to see her carry his pups and watch them grow up under their care, dying to enter into parenthood with his mate. Venus softly ced poppy into gretas arms, she had fallen asleep on her shoulder, as sophia and her left the house and headed towards where their car should''ve been but found their mates instead. "What are you guys doing here," sophia asked, as without a second to waste knox had her in his arms and his lips on hers, gently rubbing her baby bump. Venus blushed gorgeously as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked down at her shoes, "You''re shy already baby, cant wait for tonight," dante whispered to her huskily. Tonight ? What was tonight? Venus wondered wildly as it sunk in, She looked up to see the smirk dante was giving her, putting two and two together she knew what would happen tonight, "Oh shi-" ___________________________________________ Hello darlings Im backkkk and happy New Years everyone i hope everyone is okay and wishing you all a lovely and sessful year ahead. So here is another updateeee, how do you guys like it Dont forget to show your love Vote andment Peace out chapter 27 chapter 27 Venus groaned and fell sideways on the bed, covering her face with her hands. She finally finished the entire season of The Office, she wanted to watch more but she quiet literally binge watched all the seasons to the end. What do i do now ? She thought After Dante dropped her back home he had to run back to the office because of some emergency at the south border, and now she was bored and had nothing to do, she finished The office in three days. Venus went down to the kitchen and opened YouTube on her phone, took out the recipe to making moltenva and went to work. 15 minutester ... "UGHHHHH HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE I FOLLOWED THE RECIPE," venus screeched, frustrated that the batter was way way more gooier than she expected "I cant even follow a god damn recipe?" She mumbled, asking herself. "Theres no way im being defeated by a chocteva cake," she said to herself, and with that being said she got off the kitchen floor and with renewed determination set off to make ... Edibleva cakes. An hour and a halfter Dante walked through the front door, the scent of chocte and his mates heavy scent led him to the kitchen where he found her sitting on the counter with her legs folded under her, three tes in front of her. From the looks of it she had finished one te and was on her second one and soon on her way to the third. "Baby," dante called out, and venus freezed, her cheeks like that of a chubby bunny because she took arge bite from theva cake. Sheepishly she looked up at her mate who was looking at her with shocked eyes, chewing slowly and giving him a wave. "I shaved shome for you," venus mumbled through the cake in her mouth, pointing at the third untouched te. "You sure you weren''t nning on eating had i note on time?" He teased, walking towards the counter and taking the te and spoon. He took a piece out of the cake and the ice cream to its side and popped it into his mouth, looking the a curious venus assessing his every action. "Do you like it?" Venus asked after a few seconds Dante remained quiet, saying nothing Venus felt her heart drop, he didnt like what she made, trying to conceal her hurt she put a bright smile on her face and got off the counter, cleaning up the dishes and dante came beside her to help her "Leave it alone please i can clean up myself," venus said calmly "Venu-" "I said i got it dante," she interrupted. After a few seconds she felt him leave the kitchen, wiping a stray tear off her face she cleaned up the dishes. A minute or twoter she felt two big arms wrap around her waist and a pair of warm lips on her neck, venus froze. "I cant even prank you for long, youre a sensitive little baby," dante mumbled between the kisses he was cing on her neck. Venus frowned and turned around in his arms, he chuckled at the confused look on her face and pecked her lips, "Baby I''m not much of a sweets person but i loved what you made, just add less coca the next time and its as good as what they give at restaurants," Venus beamed up at him and hugged him, she knew he meant what he said, and what warmed her heart the most was his constructive criticism and the way he delivered what he wanted to say in such a gentle manner that she could''ve started crying in his arms, he was everything she ever wanted and more, She leaned up on her tippy toes and ced her lips on his, wrapping her arms around his neck she deepened the kiss. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Things got heated fast and she started tugging at the hem of his shirt, dante pulled back from the kiss and looked at her deeply "Are you sure," he asked He found his answer when his mate ced her lips on his and kissed him with such fervour that it shook him. Picking her up he took her to their room, gently cing her on the bed he started undressing her, giving her time to pull back and say no if she wanted to, buy it seemed like his little mate wanted it more than him. He chuckled at her attempt to take his pants off which wasn''t working, guiding her he was soon only in his boxers, and his mate was staring at him with wide eyes, taking him in, the lust shone in her eyes that roamed over his body. Soon enough even she waspletely undressed, "Tell me when its too much okay baby," dante said Venus nodded and kissed him. As both lovers took their times with each other, exploring the body of the other, making sure they both felt the pure pleasure. Andter, Dante slowly slipped himself gently inside her warm and wet heat. Letting her get used to him, giving her time. While she then adjusted to him, as he thrust into her slowly, then picking up his pace, and venus moved her hips with his. As he then pounded into her and her cries of pleasure mixed with his deep breathing and throaty growls, it made them reach the peak of ecstasy as they both shattered together, finally be one. Body and soul. Andter Venus was epassed in his embrace as he drew circles on her hips. And then he joined himself with her again, taking her from different positions and she couldn''t decide which one she loved more. Taking her roughly and fast, while other times it was slow and tender, it was when the lc streaks showed across the skies indicating that dawn had arrived, was when the newly mated couple drifted off to sleep in each others embrace. ____________________________________ Hello darlings, I am backkkk, so yes theyve finally mated whew, thoughts on this chapter ??

He. Ruined. Her. Sleep. If there was anything that he should have known, it would be that if anyone messes with her sleep, they''re dead. Growling lowly she heard the washroom door open and dante stepped out freshly showered with just a towel around his waist, he expected to be greeted with his mates soft smile and bright happy eyes as she stretched in bed, instead there she was in all her glory, on her knees in the middle of the bed, giving him the darkest re while she growled lowly at him. This is not how your first morning after mating with your mate is supposed to look like, he thought while gulping. "You. Woke. Me. Up." Venus snarled, growling out each word in an angry menacing way, for a second dante considered going to her but her words made him stop that thought. "Baby," he called out softly, hoping she''d calm down. "Dante," she shot back, slowly getting off the bed, her hair a wild mess and her face flushed, she looked beautiful. "Look baby i forgot you don''t like to be woken up and in my defence i only opened up the curtains, lets talk ab- oof," dante got cut off when venus threw herself at him and hended on the ground with a thud while venus was on top of him looking murderous. "IF YOU EVEN TOUCH THE CURTAINS AGAIN WHILE I, ASLEEP YOU''RE DEAD DANTE, IM GOING TO KILL YOU," venus screeched, trying to punch him but failed and that made dante chuckle, angered by her attempts to hit him but couldn''t she brought her mouth down and bit into his shoulder. Dante being a lycan obviously felt no pain, but the action of her straddling him while he was practically naked had it not been for the towel, her trying to bite his neck while she only wore his shirt from the night before, wearing nothing underneath... A low husky growl rumbled from his chest and venus froze, uh oh. He let go of her wrists which he''d been holding to stop her from throwing punches, and his hands travelled down as he held her by the waist, venus lifted her head up from where she bit him and looked at him, watching his eyes ze over with want. "We haven''t marked each other" Venus said, as she gently almost distractedly traced the outline of his toned abdomen. In one smooth motion dante was up, venus yelped as he picked her up, wrapping her legs around him for support, as he gently ced her on the bed and kissed the tip of her nose. Slowly he made his way to her neck, inhaling her scent deeply and peppering kisses all over her neck and shoulder, licking and sucking his way to where he was to mark her, inhaling a deep breath he let his canines extend, venus fisted his hair and clenched her eyes shut, not knowing what would happen next. Without warning he sunk his teeth into her and venus gasped and jumped, dante held her down by the Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g waist, she gripped his arms tightly as pain started shooting through her body, she whimpered and dante bit down further, suddenly the pain was gone, reced byplete euphoria. Dante let the waves pass her body before he utched his mouth from her neck andpped at his mark, their bond wasplete. He gave her a few seconds to let her breathing even out. "Hello love," Venus blinked, she could hear his voice at the back of her head, she could feel his presence, and the way he was looking at her right now made her squirm, as if he was reading her, she lowered her gaze feeling terribly shy. "Look at me," His voice was even more deep and rich if possible through mindlink, she blinked and looked up at her mate, his blue eye swirling pits of a beautiful yet dangerous sea storm, while his green eye bright and radiant. After a second of silence he spoke. "you can mindlink anyone from the pack now, they know ive marked you, they felt it and theres alot of chatter on the link, but ive blocked it from you right now, youre new to this so it might be overwhelming, I''ll soon teach you how to block mindlink," he said. Venus smiled at him, he was too perfect she thought achingly, as her heart constricted with so much emotion her eyes teared up, she loved him so much it hurt. She leaned up and kissed him deeply while he returned the kiss with renewed ardour, pouring all her emotions into the kiss, holding the fiercest, most strong and feared lycan in such a gentle way, almost as if he was a little boy. Dante felt the gentleness of when he held and kissed him, he hadn''t had anyone be this way with him ever since he was young, a mere pup, thats how his mother would be with him. The ringing of a phone made venus jump and dante pulled back to get his phone off the nightstand. Pulling back while blushing, dante kissed her forehead and told her how he had some work today and she should freshen up. "I''ll tell the chef to make you breakfast," he mumbled, kissing her softly while she whispered an okay, and dante left the room. He was dressed in a ck tailored suit, looking very sharp and handsome, sunlight glinting in his eyes making his blue eye look am electric sharp blue and his green eye that of lush green grass in an untouched meadow. Dante was fixing his cufflinks, on his way down the stairs when he heard a soft voice at the back of his head, "I love you baby," Breathing in deeply a small smile graced his full firm lips, she was his everything. "I love you more sweetheart," He mindlinked back, This was it, she was his forever, and he wouldn''t have it any other way, she was the woman for him, the one he would spend his cursed eternity with, but now with her, he''d live a thousand more lives just as long as she was by his side, she would bare his pups. He was the Dark Lycan, but to venus? He was Her Lycan. _________________________________________ Hello loves, Yes i am back with another chapter, im so sorry it took me a while to update, but ive gotta say, a few more chapters and this book will have toe to an end, :( Im so so happy and grateful for the love and support you guys have given me through this book. I hope everyone is doing well Dont forget to show some love Comment and vote Peace out chapter 29 chapter 29 Almost 7 months had gone by, everything seemed to be going pretty well, the pack was running adequately and everyone was happy, everyone other than Knox ... werewolves pregnanciesst for 7 months unlike the normal 9 months with humans and well Sophia was due any date now, no one had ever seen the beta so ... well so crazed, Sophia would be sitting munching down an entire box of cookies while Knox was hell bent on making sure that she didn''t even feel the slightest difort, even Sophia letting out a small cough was a trigger for the huge beta who would be calling the pack doctor over everything to the point the doctor feared the beta would lose his head before the arrival of the child. ''KNOX CUT IT OUT RIGHT NOW,'' a very very pregnant Sophia screeched ''baby no sit down lemme get the first aid its starting to get red now look,'' Knox pointed out, hell bent on getting his way ''KNOX GET AWAY FROM ME OR I SWEAR TO GOD IM GONNA KICK YOU IN THE FACE,'' Sophia threatened, trying to jerk away from her mates hold as she sat on the couch with Knox holding her ankle ''oh for the love of the moon goddess Knox ITS JUST A MOSQUITO BITE,'' James said frustrated while Gabriel sat with wide eyes, you could practically hear his thoughts from his expressions, well babies are a clear no for Gabriel, the man looked terrified. ''mosquito bites don''t get this red,'' Knox muttered, applying ointments onto his mates ankle who seemed to be seething and the concerned beta looked clueless to his mates anger directed at him Dante strolled into the living room to see the havoc that was going on, putting his hand into the pocket of his cks quietly assessing what was going on, he was about to kick everyone out of the house when Venus walked in through the front door with little Abel in her arms, his bright blue eyes wide with joy as he looked around the foyer. Abel was a little pup from the pack house orphanage, he was only 3 and he was newly moved there by his grandparents who were getting too old to take care of him. Frowning Dante raised his brows in question at Venus and who their little guest was, realising Venus put Abel down and held his little hand, ''Dante this is Abel, he''s my new little friend, Abel sweetie this is alpha Dante,'' Venus introduced Abels blue curious eyes shed with Dantes blue and green ones, as he held out his hand to the little pup, little Abel trying to look as intimidating as the 6''3 alpha puffed his chest out and shook Dantes ''nice two meet you alpa,'' Abel said, his cute baby voice not going unnoticed as he was still learning how to speak, Dantes lips twitched and he gave the little pup a small proud smile. Afterwards Venus introduced Abel to everyone in the house, letting him getfortable around everyone and to their surprise Abel warmed up to Gabriel the most, as it came down tote afternoon Abel let out a yawn indicating it was nap time, Venus picked him up and headed to their room, gently rocking him back and forth as he lulled into sleep and she ced him on their bed, giving him a soft kiss on the forehead she was about to exit the room when she saw Dante standing in the door way watching them with an indescribable expression on his face, not sure of what happened Venus pulled him out of the room and into the hallway after gently closing the door after Abel so he didn''t wake up. ''whats wrong?'' Venus asked, wrapping her arms around his waist Dante shook his head and removed her hands from around his waist and left without a word, confused Venus stared at him with her mouth slightly agape, what the hell just happened? She followed him to his office in search for answers, did i do something to upset him ? she thought, there he stood in all his glory signing a few papers and reading them, the sun glinting through therge window surrounding him like a halo, he looked divine, his broad shoulders moving with such elegance as he skimmed through the papers in front of him. ''Dante?'' Venus called out hesitantly ''hmm?'' ''is everything okay...,'' ''yes of course why wouldn''t it be?'' ''you''re acting terribly weird,'' ''Venus I''m not now drop it and go downstairs join the others ill be there in a while,'' ''no, I''m not leaving till you tell me what has gotten into you and why you''re acting this way, please don''t shut me out Dante, the mark, i feel your unease and restlessness, talk to me baby,'' Venus said, walking closer to him and holding his hand that had papers in them his jaw clenched Venus didn''t realise what was going on, as she absently rubbed his hand with her thumb gently ''talk to me,'' silence his head was bent as he refused to look up from the papers and Venus was getting slightly worried as his breathing had deepened, his chest was rising and falling with everyboured breath he took, she rounded the table and neared him, gently cing a hand on his shoulder she called out to him. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Dante looked up and raised glowing dark eyes to Venus, Enzo was out. __________________________________________________________________ HELLO TO EVERYONEEEE YES ANOTHER CHAPTER IS FINALLY OUTTTTTT, i would like to thank u all so so much for your constant support, i wonder what pulled enzo out like that hmmm please keep the support going, thoughts on this chapter ? I will be posting a new update every sunday so stay tuned everyone dont forget to vote andment peace out chapter 30 chapter 30 ''E-Enzo?'' Venus stuttered, confused and baffled the only response she got was heavy breathing, and he eyed her with a crazed look, he looked torn. Venus knew he was on edge and anything she''d do would be a trigger from him and he would shift head, worried for her mate but submitting to the sheer raw power he was emitting. Venus was in utter shock, unable to decipher what had just happened, ''Enzo w-what?'' ''mate,'' he muttered through clenched teeth, rage dripping from his tone as his hands fisted on the table clenched even further, gently almost cautiously Venus ced her small hand over hisrge fisted one, as the sparks from the mate bond came to life, calming down the raging lycan just a little, breathing in deeply he clenched his eyes shut, and stayed still for a few seconds, the tremors his body was making to suppress his lycan subsided and after a while he opened his eyes and raised calm blue green eyes to Venus. breathing a sigh of relief Venus hugged Dante tightly, wrapping her arms around his neck as he hesitantly ced his arms around her waist. ''what happened?'' Venus asked, her voice weak from the unexpected turn of events ''nothing,'' he muttered with a dark expression on his face and Venus didn''t push it further, she knew he was on edge and being persistent wouldn''t help, but she would ask him tonight before they head to bed. Giving him a soft kiss on the cheek she patted his back and quietly left the room while Dante was left alone, his dark thoughts consuming him, possibilities of the worst hounding him and loneliness from what would happen if she found out creeping into him. After joining everyone downstairs venus''s mood got a bit better, her overthinking stopping slightly as the uplifting aura around her that her friends carried made her feel at ease. After a good while Dante entered the living room, with a half asleep Abel in his arms, the sight of his tall 6''3 frame with pure toned muscle hugged by his cks and dress shirt holding a little baby in his arms made Venus''s heart m into her ribs, as a warm feeling blossomed in her chest making her feel all warm and fuzzy inside, a bright smile creeping onto her face. James saw the entire exchange and nudged Sophia who stopped her bantering and looked at the scene in front of him, but what worried Sophia that James seemed to miss was the haunted look on Dante''s face. ''he woke up when i was getting some stuff from our room,'' Dante informed in a deep rough voice. Venus nodded, her tongue seemed limp of words as she took a half awake half asleep Abel from dante''s arms, cooing to him as he giggled at her and nuzzled into her arms, the sight was one to make a grown man coo. ''Dante i wan-,'' ''Dante rogues caught at the south border, we have to go now,'' Gabriel said, cutting off Venus as the room grew tense, Knox kissed Sophia and the baby bump longingly and the three left in tense hurry without another word. ''be safe please, i love you,'' Venus mind-linked to her mate, ''i will,'' was all he mind-linked back, at this point Venus''s worry escted to rm, she needed to talk to him as soon as possible and demand for him to tell her what was going on. Just like that it was nightfall, Venus with Sophia and James dropped Abel back at the pack house and came back home to have dinner, it was past 11 now and the men still weren''t home, Sophia said she couldn''t wait anymore and had to head back home, games said the same, that they would wait there for their mates and then they left. Alone at home Venus sat in the kitchen after clearing up the table and cleaning the dishes, she tried mind linking Dante a bunch of times but he hadn''t responded back, Venus was about to call him when the main door opened and Dante walked through, his hair messy as dark locks fell over his forehead, as if he had been running his fingers through them all day. ''Dante,'' Venus breathed and ran up to him and gave him a tight hug, ''i was so worried,'' she said, keeping her arms around him and giving him a kiss on the jaw, Dante nodded and kissed her back on the forehead, ''what happened is everything okay?'' ''yes we settled the rogue problem, they wont being back for a long while now,'' ''did you chase them off orrrrr ....?'' ''no we talked,'' ''......,'' ''what?'' Venus pped Dante lightly on the chest and giggled, ''i think everyone knows what your definition of talking is,'' ''well what can i say,'' he said, grinning at her and giving her a peck on the lips. After a while when Dante had his dinner and they were preparing to go to bed, Venus mustered up her courage and asked her mate the question that had been hounding her all day, a fact about Dante was that he spoke very less and hated discussing one matter over and over again. ''baby?'' Venus called out, as Dante walked out of the bathroom only with a pair of sweats ''hmmm,'' ''about earlier today ...,'' ''what?'' ''Dante stop acting oblivious you know exactly what I''m talking about, Enzoing out, how you''ve been acting and avoiding me?'' Venus said frustrated nothing but unsettling silence continued ''why are you like this?'' Venus asked no answer ''why did you react like that?'' silence again ''DANTE TELL ME RIGHT NOW OR I SWEAR T- ''we cant have pups,'' his voice was so calm, so collected that Venus almost scoffed but the look, the haunted look on his face told her otherwise. ''what,'' she breathed out in disbelief ''yes, we cant have pups,'' her heart started beating fast, she could hear the blood roaring in her ears and the wild thumping in her chest, what did he mean they couldn''t have pups, he didn''t want kids? Venus thought as her mind went crazy with a million gushing thoughts. ''you don''t want to have ki-'' ''no Venus i do but you wont be able to give me pups,'' She could have sworn someone ripped her heart into two. _______________________________________________________________ HELLO DARLINGS, YES I KNOWWWWW ANOTHER SURPRISE UPDATE FOR YALL I REALLY COULDNT HELP MYSELF I WANTED TO, so yeah that happened ... im sorry dont kill me nsksksks but yes that happened so what do you guys think about all this ? thoughts ? please dont forget to show your love and support by voting andmenting, you guys are amazing peace out chapter 31 chapter 31 ''what do you mean i wont be able to give you pups?'' Venus whispered in disbelief, her honey brown eyes wide with unshed tears, as her lower lip trembled and the colour in her cheeks heightened from the internal hysteria her body was feeling. Dante sighed and went to sit next to her on the bed, ''Venus, despite the fact that you have alpha blood running in you doesn''t make you strong enough in regards to carrying my pup, i am a lycan, aplete lycan, not one part of me is werewolf, a lycan pregnancy is very different, its very painful and the mother has to be a lycan to be able to withstand and birth a healthy lycan pup, in this regard you cannot give birth Venus, I''m sorry, i cant stand the thought of losing my mate in the process of giving me pups, i refuse to put you through that.'' Venus heard everything, but it was as if his voice wasing from far away, he was sitting next to her but his voice was distant, she hummed in response, her body felt light, as if she was on air, her mind unable to decipher what had just happened, or what had been said. ''I''ve always wanted a baby,'' Venus whispered achingly after a few moments of silence, as silent tears ran down her face, Dante pulled her to himself as she buried her face into his chest and wept, she cried for her loss, she cried for herself and she cried for the one thing she always wanted and now she was never able to have. ''d-dante please w-we can at least try once, i wanna have a-a baby,'' venus said through her sobs and hups, as he rubbed her back soothingly and she only seemed to cry harder, his body grew tense when she said she wanted to try for a baby. eyes emotionless and voice gruff, he held her close to himself but this was something that he could never give into, because if he did, he couldpletely lose her in the process. ''ask anything of me Venus, but not this, i wont ever give you up for anything, this is a risk i wont even consider taking, save your breath because we will not try for a baby in a million years, i cant- i wont lose you, to anything,'' ''Dante please i-'' ''we wont have a baby Venus, i think I''ve made myself clear,'' Dante said in a rough voice, nestling a crying Venus to his chest as she sat in hisp clutching his shirt. Venus rolled over in bed, sunlight glinting through the windows and she looked over, finding herself cocooned in dante''s arms, his leg draped over her, securing her between his body, she must have passed out from exhaustionst night Venus thought, cuddling into the warmth her mate offered as she suddenly started feeling empty inside from the thought that she will never be able to have kids of her own, it was heartbreaking. just as those thought were about to consume her she felt heated kisses on her neck and warm hands run over her bare stomach from where her shirt had lifted, ''good morning,'' Dante husked out, his voice even more deep and rough from sleep ''good morning,'' Venus replied softly, pecking him on the lips, as shey in his embrace, letting his even breathing calm her. After they freshened up and showered Dante had to attend to some pack business, he refused to leave venus alone after what had happened but she assured him she would be okay and he should go to the pack meeting since it was important, not entirely convinced dante left after giving her a heated kiss, promising to be back as soon as he was done and he should tell her instantly if something was wrong. Venus stayed home trying to divert her attention by cleaning around the house, giving the helpers a day off and doing everything herself, but she was so into her tasks that she was done way before than she thought she would be, finally with being left alone with nothing to do she let the thoughts consume her, so tuned into her demons she forgot everything around her kaya was pacing around, on edge, Venus has blocked off mind linking so Dante wouldn''t even know what was going through her head that way, when kaya would try getting to Enzo, Venus would block her outpletely. ''why me ?'' was the only thing running through her mind. so enraptured in rage and sadness that amidst her chaos she lost control, Venus''s body gave out, kaya took control, and she broke into a fit, kaya and Venus''s emotions mixed up, and kaya gave into the rage, she shiftedpletely into her wolf form and thrashed everything in the living room, when she had broken or destroyed everything in sight, kaya made a run for it straight through the front door and into the deep forests, she ran as fast as she could and as much as she could till she reached a cliff, panting she looked over the edge, as she cried out for the loss of her parents, the loss of having a child and the loss of all that she believed in, and it waste into the evening that a howl was heard, it was so strong, so raw, the entire pack if not heard it- felt it in their hearts, through the bond that connected all of them, it was the cry of a broken wolf, a mourning wolf calling out for help, it was so strong that it sent Dante to his knees, he was in the middle of a pack meeting with the warriors and the superiors of the pack when he heard it, his breath caught in his throat and he stumbled, while everyone else in the room experienced something simr, an ache in their chest, looking towards where the howl came from he stood up and whispered with pain ''venus.'' _________________________________________________________________ HELLO LOVLIESSSS, i am so so sorry i have a flu and a sore throat, but here it isssss this is what happened and yeah ... oops, this book is gonnae to an end soon and i am so so happy that you guys love it, please keep on supporting the way you guys do, i hope you all are doing well, sooo ... thoughts on this chapter ? dont forget to show some love vote andment peace out chapter 32 chapter 32 He had to find her, passing a look to Knox to take over the meeting he shifted and lunged across the room, he had to get to her. ''Venus, baby where are you'' he tried mind linking her but he got no response at all ''don''t go anywhere and stay where you are'' Pushing his legs faster he ran like his life depended on it, and it did, his life did depend on it, reaching the middle of the dense forest he tried finding paw-prints but found none, angling his head up he breathed a deep breath in, he found what he was looking for, her scent. Running in the direction the scent led him, after two minutes of constant running he came across a ledge, his heart sunk, this is where her scent ended and she wasn''t here she coul- no no she couldn''t, trying to calm his lycan and himself so lost in his inner battle of where his mate could be and if she was okay or not he wasn''t aware of his surroundings and heart a twig snap to his right, jerking his head towards the side he stepped closer to the bushy area, careful and on high alert, he raised his head up over the bush and what he saw made his heart sink, there shey in her wolf form, her fur covered in mud and a little bit of blood, her eyes were open, she knew he was there but she refused to even look at him, her eyes, oh goddess her eyes looking like swirling dark pits of nothing,pletely lifeless. Gentlying towards her side he touched his snout against hers yet she still didn''t respond, sighing he took her scruff into his mouth and lifted her up like a she-wolf picking up her pup, andpared to the size of his huge lycan form, she was small. attention but she paid no heed, frustrated and hurt he growled, knowing she wouldn''t respond, he got on top of her and settled on her in a way that his weight wouldn''t hurt her but he was close to her. Venus hadn''t felt this numb in a long time, the terrors of her past had awakened, she feared shed lose everyone in her life including her mate, so she numbed herself, that if he did leave her maybe, just maybe she wouldn''t be so hurt by it, but the sparks that teased her and the way he was giving her all of Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. his attention even though she didn''t even acknowledge his presence, she wanted to turn in his embrace and cry her heart out to him, she was so so in love with this proud handsome lycan beside her that the thought of just being away from him even for a second hurt her, whimpering because her willpower gave out she turned and buried her head into his chest, his fur was warm andforting, and the way he was nuzzling his head against hers was enough to make her walls break and crumble into nothing. Dante understood the silentfort she wanted and thats exactly what he gave her, showing her love and giving her all of his attention, but he was bothered by the little bit of blood on her fur, what happened? he thought. they spend the night under the full moon, she slept in his embrace, their wolves content with each other, as he held her close. It wasnt until dawn that venus woke up and dante indicated that they should go back home now, nodding her wolf head they silently made their way back, their fur brushing against each other with every step they took till they reached home, venus needed him close by, she needed his constant touch and his presence he realised, she was too anxious, and he realised that even more when the reached the house and she kept looking back at him to make sure he was there, she has separation anxiety. ''love, go change ill shower too ill be right here okay,'' dante assured her after they shifted back, she still hadnt spoken a word but she clutched onto his arm and shook her head in fright, ''baby im not going anywhere hey look at me,'' he tilted her chin up and ced a soft kiss on her trembling lips as her eyes watered. ''no please, dont leave me,'' she whimpered out softly, had it not been for his sharp hearing he would have barely heard her, sighing and hugging her to himself he thought of ways to get them both cleaned up without triggering her. An idea came. Gently pulling her with himself he took her to the bathroom, locking the door behind him he began undressing, venus looked at him with wide eyes, it wasnt new to her, she had seen and touched every part of him but the shyness was always there and he loved that about her, Venus squeaked and hid her face in her hands as he chuckled at her response, so cute, he thought. After a minute Venus felt him pull her hands from her face, and his hands slid to the hem of her shirt, he kept eye contact with her, she could pull away if she wanted but she didn''t, thats where he found his consent and he gently slid her shirt off her torso, not letting his eyes wander down her body he didn''t look away or break eye contact, he then unclipped her bra, then her shorts were next, then finally the They both stoodpletely bare infront of each other, but this wasnt sexual, it was just the raw moment where they stood in front of each other with nothing to hide, Dante held her hand and took her towards the shower, turning the knob he stood to the side letting the water warm up, gently rubbing her arm as she stood by him. He got under the water first and she followed, the shower overhead was enough to have them both drenched in no time, grabbing the shampoo off the stand dante put some into his hand and started gently massaging it onto venuses head, she moved closer to him and hummed, loving the feel of his rough fingers stroking her scalp, once she helped him rinse she did the same to him, shampooing his hair and letting her soft fingers gently tug at his locks and teasing him once in a while by putting a bit of shampoo across his face. ''your hair is so soft,'' venus whispered ''you should shampoo my hair more often then,'' dante teased, gently squeezing her waist and thats when he noticed the irritated two gashes across her hip, they werent deep or long but there was a bit of dried blood and it was red. ''venus, your hip,'' dante growled frowning venus looked down and had almost forgot her cuts ''i ran into a thorny bush and cut myself, im okay dante,'' she said, rinsing his hair grabbing some body wash she put some into her hand and some into his and they both started gently running it over the other, his touch was so featherlike it was as if he thought she was made of porcin and she would break, rubbing it on her body as she did his, and once they were done Dante gently pulled her into his embrace, as he held her close to him, the water running down both their bodies, as her tears mixed up with the water and she sobbed into his chest quietly, and he didn''t ask, he didn''t have to, he just held her and let her cry it out, as he rubbed her back soothingly. his touch, his embrace, his warmth and hisfort was all she needed, this dark lycan of hers had be her world, and through thickness or thin, she would never leave his side. ________________________________________________________________________________ HELLO MY LOVLIESSS, YESSSS ANOTHER UPDATEEE, im so sorry i didnt update ive taken a gap year and i took some courses in it, theyre more hectic than i thought they would be ... :/ but i hope you all are doing well and you all are safe, soooo thoughts on this chapter ? dont forget to show your love vote andment peace outttt chapter 33 chapter 33 ''ARE YOU KIDDING ME KNOX,'' Sophia screeched All those wondering what happened, Sophia and Knox invited everyone over for dinner, Venus, Dante, James, Gabriel and a few other friends of Knox and Sophia, long story short, right after dinner Venus and Sophia were messing around in the kitchen while getting desert, and Venus may or may not have jump scared Sophia which caused her water to break .... it wasplete havoc to say the least. Sophia was actually a week overdue, so she wasn''t surprised when her water broke, the heavily pregnant blond was as calm as the sea but the same couldn''t be said for her big mate who was knocking over chairs and decoration pieces in a rush to get the baby bag and zip Sophia to the hospital, frustrated at how her mate was sweating, INSISTING he carries her and actually swooping her up into his arms without waiting for her reply, acting like she was dying, Sophia had enough. ''knox,'' sophia seethed the big man paid no heed to her, his grey eyes wide with rm as he unlocked the car and gently put her in the backseat, ''KNOX,'' Sophia screamed, the poor poor man almost fainted thinking something had happened to his mate or the baby, ''THE HOSPITAL IS TWO BLOCKS OVER WE CAN WALK WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?'' ''what?? why would i let you walk Sophia your water just broke,'' Knox growled out ''don''t growl at me sir just because I''m about to pop out our pup doesn''t mean i cant reach other and smack the shit out of you,'' Sophia threatened Knox looked so scared, lost and confused that Sophia felt bad, he had been so so patient with her throughout the entire pregnancy, he had been so supportive and loving, he was going to be a great father, and as any parent, he was worried about his child. Sophia held hisrge hand and gently tugged him towards the backseat where she was sitting, he crouched down in front of her beside the car as she swinged two legs out of the car and he sat between them, big tears gathered in her eyes and started heedlessly tipping down her beautiful face, she gently cupped Knox''s face in her trembling hands and leaned forward, softly kissing him, as teasing sparks lit up where ever they touched. Knox kissed her back, with all the passion, yearning and love in his heart, he kissed her back like nothing was enough to make him have enough of her, after a moment when they pulled back the sight in front of him made him fall in love all over again, her lips swollen and pink from his kisses, her blue eyes bright with love and her skin glowing from her pregnancy, her blond locks tumbling over her shoulder like a golden fade waterfall, her hands cradling her belly as she sat in front of him in all her glory, he was blessed. the guests of the night let the couple have their moment, as Dante then called out to Knox telling him it was better if they go to the hospital now, and helping her slip her shoes on Knox with Sophia hand in hand walked two blocks down to the hospital, holding her soft hand in one and the baby bag in the other, and the others promised to meet them in the hospital, wanting to give them their moment, as a heavily pregnant she wolf, not even looking like she was going intobour, walking beside her mate, happily chatting with him andughing at something he said. At the hospital, Sophia wasn''t as calm anymore, Knox was the calm one now, telling Sophia to focus on her breathing and telling her to push when a contraction would hit, Venus and James were with her while their mates promised to meet themter as there was some business to deal with, as they sat outside thebour room, hearing Sophia''s screams and cries after every little while, poor Knox, his hand must have been broken with how hard Sophia was holding it. 5 hourster, Grace Lillian Knox came into the world, she was a healthy baby, with dark hair like her fathers and what was discovered after sometime was that her eyes were ocean blue like her mothers, but there were flecks of grey in them like that of her fathers, she was beautiful. When Knox held her for the first time grace looked so small cuddled up into his big tan arms, Sophia cried when she saw her baby girl for the first time. everyone congratted them, telling them how much of an angel grace was, until she was hungry, she was downright a little monster then, Dante joined themter, and in the midst of everything he caught a glimpse of his mate, the forlorn look in her eyes when shed look at grace made his heart clench, he didn''t know how to make her better, it had been months since the incident and she had got better over time but she got sensitive when she''d remember what she couldn''t have, walking to her side he pulled her to himself by the waist, cing a kiss on her head and she silently hugged him back, she needed him. But there was something brewing, something no one sensed or sawing, but what was it? __________________________________________________________________________ hello my darlings, heres an update as promised, i hope you guys like it, well what do you guys think will happen nextttttt ?????? Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. i hope you all are doing well and online sses arent as bad as they are when i take them cuz istg i feel like im dying half of the time ughhh, show your love and support, peace out chapter 34 chapter 34 A month had passed since Knox and Sophia had their beautiful daughter and things had been going smoothly other than the fact that rogue sighting had increased a-lot, the warriors would chase them off N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. the territory but they wouldn''t stoping back, they wouldn''t attack but they''d move around. Dante had been in contact with neighbouring pack alphas to know that they were dealing with a simr situation, and dealing with all of that as well as getting to the bottom of what the reason of this problem was had Dante busy for weeks straight, Knox would help now and then but he was mostly at home with the baby and Sophia which doubled work on Dante and Gabriel. it was after dinner that Dante and Venus finally got an hour to themselves, a soft kiss from Venus soon turned passionate and ended up with them making love right next to the firece in the living room, ''i missed you,'' Venus whispered against Dantes lips, lying bare in his arms, her head on his chest and their naked bodies tangled, they were covered by a soft nket that Dante pulled over them. he kissed her soft lips soundly and ran his fingertips up and down her arm watching as goosebumps rose from his touch, he smiled at the effect he had on her body, and his lycan growled his approval over how the soft contours of her body moulded perfectly into his hard ones. ''i missed you too love,'' ''i don''t wanna talk pack business but is the situation with the rogues under control yet or ...'' she trailed off, ''i really don''t know what they''re up to but i cant risk anything, not all rogues are bad but obviously we cant tell what type they are, patrols have been doubled and I''ve put the warriors on high alert, after this if we find them we have no choice but to capture and interrogate them,'' Dante said, breathing out deeply, his green and blue looking darker in the firelight. he had one hand under his head and one wrapped around Venus, his chest looking bronze under the firelight, Venus leaned over him and put her chin on his chest, admiring him, he was looking at the ambers of the fire, his blue eye looking less icy, more like the dark calm ocean during a full moon night, while the green that mostly looked bright now looked juniper, his bare defined chest, as it rose gently from every breath he took. As her eyes trailed over his sharp features, how his mostly clean shaven jaw had a 5 o''clock shadow now, and it made him more attractive, his dark inky hair messy from the many times Venus was tugging at them during their love making, his firm pink lips enticing her to kiss them. Letting her eyes wander to his arms that were thick with muscles, they screamed about the sheer power and strength that they held. almost high from admiring the man in front of her that was all hers, she leaned down and gently ced a soft kiss on his chest and looked up to dark eyes regarding her silently, reaching up she pulled his head down to hers and kissed him with all the passion and love she had for him, and he kissed her back hungrily, rolling her onto her back he took her to ces she loved reaching with him in her. The next morning Venus woke up in their room, her body pleasurable sore from their love making, a gentle ache reminding her of the night before making her baster skin flush with colour, when she reached over to his side of the bed instead of her hand meeting warm skin she encountered cool sheets, he had left for work she realised a little sadly. rolling out of bed she went and showered, wearing a pair of light washed boyfriend jeans and a while tee with a pair of airforce. making herself some breakfast she ate it alone in the big kitchen while she watched some videos on her phone, Dante had left her a note on their nightstand saying he would be backte in the evening, that there was an emergency he was sorry but he would make it up to her. she wasn''tining, she was sad yes but she couldn''tin, he was an alpha and many lives depended on him, he couldn''t just be with her all the time, this was his duty just as it was her to do her part as luna to be there for her mate, to rule beside him and be his number one supporter. she had left a text saying i love you to him but he hadn''t seen it yet. she was on herst bite of toast and eggs that her stomach turned and made her feel sick in such a way that she dropped her phone on the table right there and ran to the washroom to hurl up all the contents of her breakfast, her eyes watered from how much she threw up, as she went up to her room and brushed her teeth, freshening up once again, she did throw up but the nausea lingered. Brushing it off she went off and attended to all her luna duties, theyter went to sophias house and spent some time with grace, it was around 3 pm when she got a text back from dante i love you more, it read and Venus felt her cheeks heat up, she felt like a school girl texting her crush, except that this was a 6''3 man that was an alpha and she was a grown ass woman. after they all had lunch James and Venus decided to hang out, it was on their way home that Venus started feeling a bit sick again but she brushed it off, ''then i started putting the flour in and you wouldn''t believeeeee wh-'' ''shut up James,'' Venus wheezed out, getting breathless ''excuse tf me bitch what i swear whats with u and Gabriel cutting me every time I''m talking,'' ''maybe it because you talk too much,'' Venus said mindlessly, feeling like the oxygen getting to her head was getting less and less ''someone hold my drink I''m about to beat this girl up,'' ''James shut up god i cant breathe,'' Venus said, bracing her hands on her knees ''girl you wont be after I''m done with you,'' ''james im gonna faint,'' ''you''re about to catch these handssss AHHHHHHH BITCH WHAT THE FUCK,'' james screamed when Venus did exactly what she said, she fainted right in his arms. ______________________________________________________________________________ hello lovelies, i hope everyone is well and safe and maintaining social distance, things are getting out of hand with rona on the loose like someone cage the bitch already smh, so yes heres a new chapter i hope you all like it and thoughts ? please show your love by voting andmenting peace out chapter 35 chapter 35 Venus woke up to blinding white lights, white walls, a hospital bed and a very very fuming Dante who was watching her like a hawk, ready to pounce her, the pack doctor standing right beside him giving Venus sheepish smile. ''w-what happened?'' venus asked, her throat parched silently dante walked towards her, filled up a cup with water and had her drink it, the pack doctor cleared his throat and looked up at venus smiling, ''congrattions luna, you''re pregnant,'' silence, silence so loud venus could hear her heart beating wildly out of her chest, blood roaring in her ears, ''how long-'' ''youre almost over a month pregnant now,'' the pack doctor replied, sensing his alphas heated gaze which he couldn''t meet he excused himself, saying he had to bring some tests back from theb. heavy eerie silence enveloped the room and venus could have sworn that the door Dante was ring at would catch fire any second, or he would re a hole through it. ''say something,'' Venus whispered meekly Dante closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath, trying to keep himself in check, she was in a fragile state and he didn''t want to risk startling her or causing her distress, ''what do you want me to say,'' he said, his voice a dangerous calm that sent shivers down venus''s spine, he was sitting next to her on the hospital bed bed, his back to her, arms braced on his knees, his silence was so deafening venus could practically hear all the voices in her head, the good and bad ones, where she was finally happy she could have a baby but feared what would happen on the journey to have one. Gently cing both her arms around his waist, venus hugged him from the back, cing her head on his shoulder as tears welled up in her eyes and heedlessly started running down her face, and he felt wetness on his shirt, sighing he turned around and pulled her to him, settling her in hisp as she straddled him, venus hid her face into the crook of his neck and cried, she cried for the happiness she wasn''t able to celebrate and the uncertain future she would have, ''shush sweetheart don''t cry, its not good for the baby for you to be upset like this,'' Dante cajoled, rubbing her back soothingly, hearing about the baby made her cries double and she eliminated all space between herself and her mate and clung to him like her life depended on it, after a while when her cries subsided she raised bloodshot doe eyes to her mate, her small nose tinged red at the tip and her eyes swollen from all her crying, ''d-dante i don''t care what happens but I''m not doing a-anything to the baby, its our pup I''m not ever getting r-rid of it,'' Venus stuttered, trying to keep her voice strong, the thought of aborting her pup made her sick to the stomach, Dantes eyes darkened and his jaw twitched warningly, ''i am not a monster that id demand of you to abort our pup Venus, the odds are against us but we have time to sit and discuss what to do next but theres no fucking way i am losing you,'' dante growled out angrily, hurt that she would even think that he''d be so cruel as to rip something so pure away from her in an instant. Venus hupped and nodded at him, cing her head on his chest she let her eyes droop as she fell into a dreamless sleep. A few hourster when they were back at their house Dante had called upon the pack doctor, healer, an elder and his close friends, with Venus beside him looking pale as death from all the stress she had been taking it was a blessing Sophia and James were with her else she would have gone insane, Knox had given Venus a soft smile and patted her head, telling her it would be okay, as they all sat in the dining room, Dante had broken the news of her pregnancy to the upants to the room who gushed out in cheers over their alphas first borns awaited arrival but then they settled into dark silence when the situation at hand settled down on them, Venus sat beside Dante who was wasforting her by gently rubbing her hip and James was on her other side, ''i think we all know that lycan pregnancies to a mere werewolf are not enough, venus does have alpha blood coursing through her but thats not enough, even our former luna, dante''s mother had alpha blood but she wasnt-she couldnt-'' the healer cut off, not able to finish her sentence about the death of their former luna, it wasnt only tragic it was painful the way she died. ''healer Edna, have you gone over all the prophecies?'' elder Brahms asked, the healer nodded lost in thought over the situation. ''doc whatplicationse with this pregnancy?'' Sophia asked ''well in the beginning there aren''t much but towards the middle they start, it gets very very serious in the end, since lunas body isn''t capable of handling a full bred lycan because alpha is one of the strongest lycans in existence, his DNA will dominate venus''s making the pup a full bred lycan, her body wont be able to handle that and the pup in its growth of thest few months can damage her insides, internal bleeding, organ failure, even her wolf wont be able to withstand it for long, her body is also too fragile to withstand the strength and the amount of nourishments and nutrition the pup needs,'' he finished. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Dantes hold on Venus tightened and she softly held his hand to calm him, it was all a lot to take in, Gabriel hadn''t spoken a word since he hade in. ''what do we do now?'' Venus whispered ''there may be a way ... but alpha I''m not entirely sure it''ll work ...,'' elder Brahms trailed off ''what,'' Dante asked ''tis a legend a myth I''m not sure it will work but it is worth a try, during thest few months you start feeding her your blood, your pure lycan blood will quench much of the thirst of the pup and luna will also be able to handle the pregnancy,'' he said ''he''s right, I''ve heard of this too,'' Gabriel spoke up, everyone looked at each other concerned, ''will the blood transfusions effect Dante in any way?'' Venus asked worriedly the healer smiled at her lunas concern, ''no luna our alpha is very very strong, even if his blood was fed to you for a year straight it would cause only mild weakness nothing else,'' she finished. Dante looked down at Venus, she gave him a weak supportive smile, she was the one willing to go through hell yet she was looking at him in a way to ease off his worries, ''i want this,'' Venus whispered to her mate, Dante sighed, his fear of losing her would always be looming over his head, ''we will go through with this pregnancy, but the second we see that things aren''t good for Venus we know what we have to do then,'' Dante hissed out, trying to keep his demons under control he looked down at Venus and kissed the top of her head while the upants of the room were given their tasks, daily checkups for Venus by the pack doctor, the healer would monthly give Venus strength potions and healing herbs while elder Brahms would further continue his research on the pregnancy. it was decided, they would go through with the pregnancy. ______________________________________________________________________________ hello darlings, i hope you all are doing well, and here is the updateeeee, the book is now on its way to ending, thank you all for the love, so thought on this chapter? show your love and support, vote andment peace outttt chapter 36 chapter 36 1 monthter ''stupid protective lycan,'' venue huffed angrily stuffing her 4th pancake in her mouth and chewing on it like she had all the time in the world, its like the man didn''t even know what space was, he was always after her, heck this morning he decided he wanted to carry her down the stairs after Venus had grounded out a firm no the stubborn lycan picked her up and sauntered down the staircase, her angry outburst were deaf on his ears, she was going to be round and fat in a week if this kept up, she was only two months along and he was acting like this, the thought of how he would be when she was a few months pregnant from now made her shudder. The first few weeks were hectic with the checkups and always being careful but she had now learnt to get used to it, James and Sophia would visit every second day and they were also very protective of her, it wasn''t only a friend thing but she was the luna carrying the future heir, so the protectiveness therein doubled. ''hey soph,'' Venus said, hearing the front door open, even her senses had heightened, she could smell and hear people from even further distances now, ''V you need to stop doing that it freaks me out,'' Sophia huffed, ''wheres my god child,'' ''she''s with her nanny, Knox refused to leave her all morning i had to usher him out, its funny seeing a big man so helplessly in love with her,'' ''wheres James?'' ''he said he w-'' Sophia got cut off when James sauntered into the house, dramatically taking his sun sses off he waved his hand in front of his face, ''Venus why is it so hot,'' ''uhhh ... James honey I-I don''t control the weather you know?'' ''bitch you''re carrying a miracle, i thought you''d have a few other tricks up your sleeve too,'' Sophia giggled at this and Venus rolled her eyes, she hadn''t stopped hearing miracle jokes ever since that meeting they had a month ago, its like he expected her to present him with unicorns shitting rainbows. The day before they had decided to go to the orphanage and thats exactly what they did, finishing breakfast they drove there and spent the day there, poppy had grown up since thest time they met and they all had a fun time, venus was careful with the games they would y and participated in softer games like pass the pillow, heads up and some board games, dante had called a few times to check in on her and told her to be careful. it was around 5 that they decided to return home, exhausted they decided to watch a movie, halfway through venus fell asleep, hourster she left herself being picked up and taken somewhere, then being tucked into covers and a warm kiss on her forehead that made her smile sleepily and she fell into a deep slumber. 3 monthster It was the first time in her pregnancy that venus felt the pains, not the normal pregnancy cramps, it was the serious pains that elder Brahms warned them about, Dante was sitting beside the bed that Venus took over her leaving her sweating and trembling, the pack doctor checking her vitals after every few seconds, this was the first time in her pregnancy that Dante was going to give his blood to her, a blood bag was ready, preparing the needle the doctor put it into her arm, and so it began. Dante was beside her the whole time, after 2-3 hours when the blood bag emptied her pains subsided as well, it was around 1 am that the pack doctor left, Dante gently wiped his little mates forehead with a wet cloth, she looked tired and worn out but the strong smile he gave her told her she was going to be okay. it was around 2 am that they both fell asleep after a long night, Venus cuddled up into her mates arms sleeping fitfully against his chest. The next morning was ... weird, Venus felt like her senses were way more heightened, even more from her usual pregnancy, she felt stronger too, probably because of the lycan blood, she thought. Looking back a Dante who was blissfully asleep she gently pulled his arm from her waist and went to the washroom to shower and change. she had a baby bump, it wasn''t visible in sweatshirts and hoodies but you could tell in a tee or a fitted dress, Venus was already dreading having to wear those big stretchable leggings that heavily pregnant women wear, like someone please make some fashionable clothes for pregnant mums, who doesn''t want to look good? so lost in her thoughts she didn''t even feel Dante walking into the washroom and cing a kiss on her neck, turning around she gave him a peck and ushered him into the shower to freshen up while she dried her hair. after having breakfast Dante went off to attend to some patrol problem while Venus attended to her luna duties, some houses needed repair because there had been a fire recently and a few houses had suffered damage, Dante wouldn''t let Venus do any work that would stress her out, she had to practically beg him just to help give her ideas in the repair work, he only agreed when Sophia agreed to help out. a month and a halfter ''breathe baby breathe,'' Dante cajoled, while Venus screamed out her reply, sweat banding her forehead and tears streaming down her face. it was thest month of her pregnancy and things were as worst as they could be, thest few months had been good but now, things were not okay at all, the pack feared for their luna, she had be skin and bones, her energy was zero and she looked so pale it was as if death itself was lying beside her on those satin sheets, a month ago when the drastic pains started the doctor warned Dante of what could happen or what was starting to happen, but Dante was lost, it was toote to save Venus from the baby, they had to go through with the pregnancy and all the while when things looked their worst a few weeks ago, with Venus lying almost lifeless on their bed, the pack doctor and healer beside her, keeping track of her every movement or heartbeat, fearing any second could be herst because of how bad her state was, that night Danteshed out and cursed himself for putting that child in her and for letting her go through with everything. She was getting more and more weaker by the day, her lively brown eyes were now dull orbs, she barely had the energy to sit let alone walk, Venus was restricted to the 4 walls in her room, Dante would have to carry her around mostly, because of how things were she would get dante''s blood twice a day and the healers strength potion that was very potent and should have only been given once a month, had now be something she would have every once a week, the more the child inside her grew, the more it was wearing her out. The unspoken fear loomed over everyones head everyday, she could be gone any moment. ''its going to be okay my love,'' Dante cooed, whispering sweet nothings to her softly as he held her hand, she had pains in her entire body, gut wrenching pains that had her twisting in her mates hold, the blood bag attached to her arms, yet not once, not once had she said she had enough, she was fighting for the baby now. James hadpletely shifted to their house since Venus always needed someone close by, a nurse was also assigned on a daily duty to make sure she was getting all the nutrition she needed along with the daily medications. After her pain subsided the other upants of the room left leaving their alpha and luna alone, she was in his arms, IV attached to her as Dante gently ced kisses all over her face, ''i love you so much,'' Venus said weakly, cing a trembling hand on his jaw, gently tracing it, ''i love you so much more baby,'' Dante whispered achingly, his throat felt clogged and tears stung his eyes but he couldn''t cry in-front of her, she had been so so strong and he had to be strong for her, to make her believe everything would be okay even if it wasn''t, his heart was aching so bad because it feared the loss of his mate, who was his everything, if anything happened to her, he''d die of grief. ''you''re so handsome,'' Venus whispered, smiling weakly he didn''t reply, he couldn''t, his voice was stuck, if he spoke his voice would give away the tears he was trying to hide in the dark of the night, ''Dante, i wanted to talk to you about something,'' rapidly blinking away his tears he cleared his throat and replied, ''yes love what is it,'' she got quiet, looking down and ying with her fingers, a cute habit she had when she was nervous, ''I-I'' ''tell me baby,'' ''its pretty clear with how my health is, whats going t-to happen next ... and i want you to promise me something,'' Dante inhaled a sharp breath, hearing it from her that even she knew she might not make it broke him, it ripped at his heart in such a painful way, how? how cruel was fate to give them something so beautiful but have it turn into a disaster, how can you love someone so much and then you''re forced to make peace with the reality of them having to leave forever, how cruel was this life that you lose what you love the most. ''if ites to choosing who to save, promise me Dante, promise me you''ll save o-our baby,'' Venus begged, her voice cracked and the tears she had been holding back ran down her face heedlessly. a loud growl emitted from within the deepest parts of his chest, ''No,'' Dante grounded out, trying to keep his lycan at bay who was threatening to rip out, the thought of losing his mate and hearing it from her put him in a wild frenzy, ''no,'' he repeated again, breathing heavily ''Dante please th-'' ''thats enough Venus,'' Dante cut her off, angry at her and himself for letting all this happen ''you are going to make it, do you hear me? you''re going to make it or so help me god I''m going to destroy everything in my sight, unless you want me to join you in the after life the second u decide to leave me i suggest you get the choosing thought out of your ming this instant, am i clear?'' he grounded out, agitated over her thinking, how could she expect him to live without her? sighing she slumped against his chest, too tired to even speak another word let alone argue with him. 2 weeks had passed since that incident, the air between the alpha and luna was tense but even a fool could tell they''d die for each other in a heart beat, when problems would arise they''d put their differences aside and be there for each other to the fullest, because that was what love meant, to hold onto each other even when the storm is at its loudest, threatening to rip them apart. ''i swear he''s so dumb like its right behind you,'' James screeched angrily Venus giggled and continued to munch on her snacks while Sophia shook her head at them, they were watching a new show that Gabriel had suggested, and anything Gabriel suggests is always a must watch, ''i feel like the girl is the killer for some reason,'' Venus muttered, she was due in a week and today of all days she felt better, she had the energy to sit at least and not feel like she was about to pass out every few minutes, they were waiting for the healer to arrive to give Venus her potion, Dante, Knox and Gabriel were in the room next to theirs discussing some private matters, Sophia sat with grace in her arms who was cooing at her mothers feather like kisses. A whileter healer edna walked in, giving Venus her potion, thanking her she left saying she had some urgent matters to attend to. ''Add the pinch of that dust she gave before you pour it into the cup James,'' Sophia called out ing,'' James hollered from the kitchen, bringing the drink in a ss cup ''took you long enough,'' Sophia teased and Venusughed at the eye roll James gave James handed her the ss and she was about to bring it up to her lips when a searing pain hit her stomach and the ss slipped from between the fingers and crashed onto the floor, the silence that followed suit didn''tst long as a blood curling scream left Venus and she doubled over in pain. Dante and the others came running from the other room, a crying grace was given to the nurse as everyone rushed to Venus, she was clutching her stomach and screaming with so much intensity from her pain that they cowered back for a second, Dante quickly lifted her up and discovered blood smeared on the sofa where she was sitting, roaring out orders to get the car pulled up front so he could take her to the doctor, Sophia quickly ran up and got the baby bag, James crying in worry and carrying Venus''s own bag and running outside. Gabriel got in with Sophia in front, James sat in the back with Venus and Dante as he held her in his arms, blood soaking his clothes, Knox followed suit in a car behind them, having to drop of grace at the nannies house first. Soon they reached the hospital, the doctor already informed of what had happened and he was waiting with his team behind the emergency doors, Dante ced her on the bed gently as he held her hand and they rushed her into thebour room, her contractions were bing more and more consistent, it was all happening so so fast and out of no where the doctor shouted out to a nurse that she was dted enough. ''Dante she''s losing too much blood, she needs to start pushing now,'' the pack doctor grounded out, forgetting he was talking to his alpha, he looked at Venus like she was his daughter, they had gotten so close in thest few months, at the moment he didn''t give a rats ass about anyone other than Venus. ''please-,'' Venus sobbed and she was cut off by her own scream when another contraction hit her, ''push baby.'' Dante said, holding her hand as she cried out in pain. 3 hours had passed and she was constantly losing blood, lots of it, but the baby still hadn''t crowned yet, her water had broke when she was at about to be put into the car on their way to the hospital, she had even dted but her body was too weak, too exhausted, no matter how hard she pushed it wasn''t Property ? N?velDrama.Org. enough, e on baby you can do this,'' Dante encouraged, as he looked over to the doctor who had concern written all over his face Venus screamed, and her wolf started helping her too, giving her the strength, and another hour passed by but this time with progress, she was starting to crown and after another half an hour of pain she pushed the baby out, A cry was heard and the nurses got to quickly cleaning the baby, ''its a boy,'' they announced happily, and cheers erupted in the room, they had decided to not know the gender of the baby till the end, Venus heaved a sigh and Dante kissed her softly, ''i love you,'' he whispered, and she smiled at him, she opened her mouth to reply but a scream left her lips, ''what is happening?'' Dante asked, looking at Venus worriedly, ''oh my goddess, another baby, NINA BRING FRESH A FRESH SET SHES HAVING TWINS,'' the doctor at this point was hollering out orders to the nurses, their boy was put into a cradle in the side of the room and Dante was rooted to ce in shock, twins??? ''quick she''s losing blood, LAILA KEEP CHECK ON HER VITALS,'' he shouted out, and Venus was pushing with all thest bits of strength that was in her weak body, she couldn''t lose their little one, ''just a little more,'' she whispered to her wolf, and an hourter finally Venus gave birth to their twin, ''its a girl,'' the doctor hollered out, and another set of cheers erupted in the room, the baby was cleaned up and given to Dante who was in shell shock, he ced a kiss on Venus''s cheek and leaned down so she could see their daughter, a nurse came by holding their son and showed him to Venus too, ''they''re beautiful,'' Venus whispered, silent tears streaming down her face, ''thank you my love,'' Dante said, his voice cracking, ''i love you all so much, always remember that okay?'' Venus said he was looking down at their baby girl when he heard what Venus said, he looked up to see Venus smiling, she looked so radiant, so heart breakingly beautiful and she was smiling at her babies and him softly, and with onest deep look into dante''s eyes she whispered, ''take care of them my love,'' and her eyes closed, but the smile on her lips remained, the exact second the heart beat monitor made a siren sound, the screen that was supposed to show waves of a beating heart showed a straight red line, Dante felt his ears go mute, their daughter was taken by the nurses and everything went into slow motion, she. was. gone. searing pain erupted in his chest, and a roar left him, he needed to go to his mate, and 3 of the nurses got in his way, pushing him out of the room, all he saw was the door being mmed in his face and issues being ordered in the other room, ''NINA THE DEFIBRILLATOR,'' ''one two three,'' ''...'' ''no response,'' ''recharge go again,'' ''one two three,'' ''....'' ''no response,'' Dante staggered back against the wall in shock, his friends running to him, Sophia and James crying, Knox had tears in his eyes and Gabriel looked broken, the doctor came out, removing his blood covered gloves and throwing them into the close by bin, he couldn''t look up, ''doctor please,'' Sophia sobbed out, clutching her hands to her chest and her cries numbed everyone further, doctor Mark raised bloodshot eyes to his alpha, a tear sliding down his face, ''I''m sorry, she''s gone,'' ____________________________________________________________________________ hi, this was a heavy chapter, its also the longest one, its over 3100 words, i was crying half way through the middle and i couldn''t finish it, so yeah here it is, please show your love and support, thank you for bringing the book so far i couldnt have done it without you guys vote andment peace out chapter 37 chapter 37 Searing pain gripped his entire being, his chest was heaving, his breathing out in short pants, and a vicious growl escaped his chest he felt like his lungs were on fire, he felt the bond break, and he felt his lycan whine out in pain before he vanished, he heard screams around him but they fell deaf on his ears, he looked up, his vision blurry, all he saw was a nurse pulling the doctor back to the operation room, Knox trying to get him to stand up while James slipped to the floor unconscious. His senses were dulled out but the pain in his chest didn''t, his head lolled back and rested against the wall, Sophia and Knox tended to him while Gabriel was with James, ''tell her toe back to me,'' he rasped in pain, as Sophia gently cupped his cheek and cried, knox''s shoulders dropped in defeat, his friend just lost his everything, ''Dante please please get it together please, the babies-,'' Sophia sobbed out, trying to get him to zone back in, gently shaking him but his eyes were zed over, they feared they''d lose him too, so lost in the loss Sophia didn''t feel Dante shift, his eyes zeroed in on the operation theatre door and his eyes turned onyx, a deadly snark escaped him, Knox snapped his head up, just in time to lunge for his alpha and trying to hold him down as he struggled and wed, ''SOPHIA GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE HE''S ABOUT TO SHIFT, GABRIEL GET THE WOLFSBANE- DANTE GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF THINK ABOUT YOUR KIDS,'' Knox thundered out, throwing all his weight onto Dante but he was too strong, Dante''s clothes were starting to rip, he was starting to shift, his attention zeroed on the door where his matey on the other side, and just as he was about to fully shift he felt two pricks in his neck, startled he looked back to see Gabriel looking down at him sadly, holding two syringes thatbelled high dosage wolfsbane, since he was a strong lycan, one dosage wasn''t enough, while it was just enough to knock him out, one syringe of this could kill a normal wolf. Just as he made a move to lunge for Gabriel he felt his eyes droop, his movements slowed, and just like that he was pulled into darkness. He felt his heart beating a little faster, soft sparks ignited in him but his body wouldnt let him react, and it was gone as soon as it came and once again he slipped into unconsciousness with one name on his mind, venus. ''he should be up by now,'' ''i know doctor mark even said if we bring him to this room it should wake him up soon,'' ''knox baby the restraints-,'' ''shush sophia i know i hate it more than you do but its for everyones safety,'' ''being close to them should do the trick,'' ''i hope so,'' he could hear voices but he couldnt react, he tried concentrating on his fingers, to move them even a little, and from the pressure he was applying on himself to move the heart beat monitor started beeping, it caught the attention of everyone and the doctors and nurses came rushing, ''alpha can you hear me?'' doctor mark asked, he responded with a twitch of his finger, ''hes responsive, give me that injection it should fasten this process up,'' and the next second he felt something being injected into him and his body rxed a bit, after a few minutes of silence his eyes opened, something in him had shifted, something was different, and he sat upright in bed, as if a while ago he wasnt almost paralysed, the sight in front of him made his breath stop. Therey venus on the hospital bed, they were in a different, a bigger room now, shey unconscious and pale with their kids on either side of her bed, their baby girl on one side and their boy on the other, IVs attatched to her but what made him do a double take was the heart beat monitor, it showed healthy green waves, she was alive. Dante made a move to get out of bed but the shing of chains and the tug that pulled him back caught his attention, they had restrained him, one re at the nurse had the poor man gulping and looking towards the doctor. ''alpha please understand you almost went on a rampage, we only put you here to calm your wolf down so your close presence with the luna would make you better,'' he exined, ''what happened to her,'' he spoke out, keeping his eyes on his mate, his voice deep and gruff and when he spoke he felt venus shift a bit, but she still remained unconscious. ''alpha with all due respect, this situation right here can only be ssified as a miracle, her heart stopped beating for a good 3 minutes, we''re still unsure ...,'' he trailed off, she was in a fragile condition, ''the babies on the other hand are both as healthy as a horse, a nice strong pair of lungs on them,'' doctor mark chuckled, a ghost of a smile flickered across Dante''s face. A few hourster after Dante was unchained, he sat beside his mate, holding his son in his arms while his little girl was in a cot beside his chair, Venus in front of him, ''i never knew you''d give me two beautiful miracles and end up leaving me in the process,'' he said, his voice wavering, ''you came into my life putting up a fight and i was fighting my feelings off for you, exactly because of this reason, because i was scared-frightened that you''d leave me too, all my life I''ve had no one to care for me the way you did and i was terrified of losing you so i would push you out, but i was a real jackass for doing that,'' he chuckled bitterly, watching their daughter shift around in her cot while their sony blissfully sleep in his arms, ''now that I''ve let you in, ill follow you to the other realm if i have to just to be with you again, i cant spend a second without you beside me my love, think of our kids, wont you be there when they say their first words and take their first steps,'' tears choked his voice and made it a tormented whisper, driven by anger and desperation he clutched her hand with his free arm and abruptly switched from pleas to stern threats ''and-and i''ll take another mate you hear me, do you want our kids to call someone else mama? is that what you want?'' The minutes became hours and Dante still kept on talking to her, switching from pleas to threats and when hope started to die within him he turned to cajolery, ''think of my immortal soul sweetheart, without you to mend my ways ill undoubtedly switch back to my old habits,'' and he waited, watching her lifeless hand gripped into his as he tried to infuse his own strength into her, despair wrapped around his heart suffocating him and tears stung his eyes, putting their son back into his cot he gathered his mate into his arms, her body limp and lifeless as Danteid his cheek against hers, his massive shoulders wracked with sobs, ''baby please,'' he wept, rocking her in his arms like a baby, ''how will i go on living without you, please the pack needs their luna, i want my love back ...'' he whispered, and then he felt something against his cheek, a whisper. Dantes breath caught in his throat and he jerked his head back, his eyes frantically searching her face as he lowered her back onto the hospital bed, ''Venus baby?'' he implored achingly, bending over her, and just when he thought he had imagined her eyelids flutter, her pale lips parted, almost as if to form a word, ''tell me darling,'' he said desperately, moving closer to her, ''say something please baby,'' Property ? N?velDrama.Org. Venus swallowed and spoke, her voice so faint it was barely audible had it not been for Dantes sharp hearing he would have missed iy, ''what baby?'' he pleaded urgently, still not getting a grasp of her words, again she whispered and Dante''s eyes widened as he understood, he stared at her for a moment and then his shoulders shook as he began tough, it started as a low rumble in his chest then exploded in great gutsy shouts ofughter that rang out in the hospital corridors and it bought Knox, the doctor and James running into the room in the obvious misapprehension that Dantes grief had destroyed his mind. ''James,'' Dante said with a wobbly grin, holding Venus''s hand and smiling at her widely, '' Venus threatened-'' he started, his shoulders beginning to rock withughter again, ''that if i take a mate after her she would personally castrate my body and feed it to the rogues,'' 4 monthter ''you''ve got a strong pair of lungs don''t you, oh hush Athena your fathers temper is enough that now you decided to inherit it too,'' Venus scolded, trying to change her daughters diaper but she decided to catch an attitude, ''why cant you be more like your brother, Abel is so calm,'' Venus muttered, finally doing her clothes and lifting her up into her arms, sighing as Athena fussed around and it wasn''t until Venus pulled her top down to feed her did she rx and quiet, sighing she leaned against the headboard, watching her daughter take greedy gulps, making Venus chuckle, Both her kids were pr opposites, Athena May Salvatore was the louder one out of the two, she was barely 5 months but had the attitude of a diva, naturally she was closer to Dante because he treated her like aplete princess, their father daughter bond was nothing less than adorable, she had just like her father inherited his hetero-chromia trait, her right eye was green and her left one was blue, for now since they were young they looked a little alike but the twins were not identical, Abel Raid Salvatore also a healthy boy was the calmer more collected version of his sister, he was elder by a few minutes, while his sister would be screaming her lungs out he would look at her quietly almost as if making out why she couldn''t simmer down, he had bright hazel eyes and she just knew he would be the exact replica of his father when he grew up. Lost in her thoughts Venus didn''t hear Dante walk in, dressed in ck cks and a ck dress shirt, looking devilishly handsome, holding a wide awake Abel in his arms, his chubby hands fisting his fathers shirt, ''hey you,'' Venus whispered smiling at her mate and their son, ''i could hear her excitement all the way from the office,'' Dante chuckled, watching Venus feed their baby girl who was almost half asleep, Venus rolled her eyes and smiled, cing Athena on the bed as shey fast asleep, Venus fixed her top and got up, watching how her mates eyes shed with desire, taking Abel from his arms she ced him on her hip as he gently cooed at his mother, ''you seem energetic, did my baby sleep well,'' Venus cooed, as he raised big hazel eyes to his mother, ''i wasing out of the office and i just checked in their room and he was wide awake,'' Dante said, ''who''s my cute baby boy,'' Venus teased, gently tickling his belly as he giggled, smiling at her son she looked up to see her mate looking at her deeply, she pulled him forward and ced a kiss on his lips but he had other intentions, pulling her closer he deepened the kiss, thrusting his tongue into her mouth making her softly moan, Abel on the other hand was clueless, ying around with his mothers hair, after a moment Dante let go of her, as Venus breathlessly tried to regain herposure, Pulling her to himself he hugged her, cing his chin on the crown of her head, as they looked out the window, Abel still animatedly ying with his mothers hair, trying to separate each hair from the other and failing miserably, while Athenay on the bed soundly asleep. Gently rubbing her waist Venus rxed into her mates hold, his hard chest against her back, a few months ago everything fell apart, and now here they were stronger than ever, because through everything, even when love was on the low, it was the strength of their bond and importance of each other in their lives was what drove them to stick together no matter what. _______________________________________________________________________________ hello my darlings, i hope you all are well, one more chapter and we finally reach the end of this book, it has been such a crazy journey, thank you so much to all of you for being with me through this and being so patient, words cannot describe how grateful i am. i hope you enjoy this chapter, don''t forget to vote andment Chapter 40: epilogue Chapter 40: epilogue 9 yearster ''oh for goodness sake Knox,'' Sophia grumbled angrily, watching her mate stalk an 11 year old boy who had given their daughter Grace a rose from the gardens, ''try Dante,'' Venus scoffed, remembering how her mate had growled at a boy who called Athena pretty andplimented her dress, she remembered how she had to pull her mate to the side and give him a full scolding for being so over protective, ''at least you have one girl, i have two and a possessive crazy beta wolf to deal with,'' sophia grounded, the couple now had another 3 year old baby girl, she was the exact replica of her father but her features were soft, Nina, as Knox insisted they name her also had her fathers characteristics, ''where are they now,'' Venus murmured, they were all out in the gardens, having a little pic, their mates and kids had wandered off somewhere ying hide and seek, James and Gabriel said they would join them in a while because they had some work to do. ''wow vee you''ve worked up an appetite today,'' Sophia giggled, watching her best friend her 3rd cookie, Venusughed and blushed, slowly chewing while she was lost in thought, should i tell her now? she thought, clearing her throat she faced Sophia who was sipping on her orange juice, and she sucked in a deep breath, ''im pregnant,'' Venus blurted out, Sophia''s eyes widened and she sputtered out her orange juice in a very undy like manner, ''YOURE WHAT,'' she screeched, her sea blue eyes wide as saucers. Venus gave her a sheepish ''oops it just happened'' smile, ''does Dante know?'' ''nope,'' ''when will you tell him,'' ''soon,'' ''whens soon,'' ''soon,'' ''SOPHIA YOU IDIOT I-,'' ''tell me what?'' a deep voice asked, Venus and Sophia whipped their heads back to see Dante behind them, Athena next to him with a frees-bee in hand while Abel was running towards them a little distance away with Grace and Knox. ''n-nothing,'' Venus stuttered, squirming under her mates hot gaze that clearly said this isn''t over you will tell me soon, Venus turned to re at her friend who also smiled at her cheekily and blew her a kiss, Venus was about to give her an ear full when James and Gabriel showed up. They all sat around on the pic sheet, munching away on their food and chatting, sophia leaned closer to James and told him something that had his mouth agape as he stared directly at Venus, as a secondter he mouthed ''you''re pregnant?'' to her. Venus face palmed and turned her attention to her mate who was staring down at her with so much love she thought she''d melt, ''lets take a walk,'' she whispered to him, gently holding his hand as they walked away from the others, ''wheres mum going,'' Athena asked her brother while munching on her apple, Abel shrugged and continued to chat with Gabriel about their neighbouring packs. Abel at the age of 9 was the exact replica of his father, he had a shaped nose, a chiseled jaw with high and wide cheekbones and full firm lips, his skin tan from all the days he spent out in the sun from the sports and activities he''d y outdoors, he was a quiet kid, from a young age he was into all the pack business, he excelled at school and everyone knew that there was maturity beyond his age in his bright hazel eyes, his hair was dark in colour in likeness to his fathers with thick shaped brows, he was also the tallest in ss, Venus sometimes feared he''d grow too tall and Dante would have to exin to her that even he had fast growth at Abels age, the lycan genes would show every now and then. Athena was the exact opposite from her brother from a young age, they were not identical twins, she was outgoing and confident, she was also her fathers shadow, where ever Dante was Athena was always near by, she had her fathers hetero-chromia trait, her right eye was blue and her left was green, a small button nose, full pink lips, high cheekbones, her hair was also dark in likeness to her fathers and she had delicate winged brows, Athena was spoiled by her father while Abel had his mothers attention, shed usually get scolded by her brother for being too overbearing but she cared not, she did although have her mothers courage and grace and definitely her fathers temper. ''wheres jack, uncle James,'' Athena asked ''he had gone to a friends house love he did say he was going to meet you and the other tomorrow,'' James said, buttering his toast. Gabriel and James had adopted Jack, he was a wonderful boy, he was 11 now and the eldest out of all the kids, with electric blue eyes and pitch ck hair, James knew his son would be a heartbreaker when he grew up, in the beginning it was hard for him to adapt to everything but a few monthster everything was okay, Gabriel was the best father to him, and James gave him so much love that everyone knew jack couldn''t have found a better home. James was even realised that Athena may have a little crush on Jack, lord forbid Dante found out the man would kill everyone in sight. ''tell me, what were u hiding,'' Dante murmured, lifting his lips off his mate who he had decided to thoroughly ravish after they were out of everyones eye shot, breathless and heated venus ced her head on his chest, hearing his heart drumming loudly and a smile graced her lips, yearster and the effect they have on each other is still the same, ''promise me youll be calm,'' she whispered, as he rubbed her waist over the sundress she was wearing, and he hummed his reply, ''i talked to doctor mark and he said itspletely safe since ive already given birth to 2 miracles so my body is used to it and i am half lycan now from all the blood u gave me,'' she mumbled, and dante froze when realisation sunk in, ''venus,'' he grounded out, almost as if he was in pain, she realised his struggle, what happened all those years ago was reying in his head, she could feel the tension off him, leaning up she kissed him again, cupping his jaw in her hands she peered up at him, sensing the struggle he had within. ''i love you Dante, i always will, and i want you to know I''ve taken every precaution to make sure this pregnancy will go amazing, i promise,'' she whispered, and she heard him breath out deeply, holding her chin with his thumb and forefinger he lifted her face up to look directly to him, ''for some reason, i trust you this time around,'' he whispered, she gave him that smile he could never say no to, ''baby number 3 huh,'' he teased, holding her close to himself, ''yes sir,'' she teased back, as she once again locked lips with him till she heard a distant ''get a room you two'' shout from the others, blushing she pulled away and buried her face into his chest as a deep With his arms around hers, their unborn child nestled in between them, Dante and Venus watched their twins from a distance, as they yed around with their friends, and the people around them were not rted to them by blood but they were family, they were all they had, and it was etched across their hearts that no matter what happens their bond for each other ran deeper than mere affection, it all their undying loyalty andmitment that pulled them all together. ''they''re growing up so fast,'' Venus said, an ache in her voice as she watched Abel teach Athena a protection move to while she sassily flipped her hair and proceeded to show him exactly what he had taught her in all under a minute, ''i wanted to ask, when a girl blushes in front of a guy, does that mean she likes him?'' Dante asked, an edge to his voice, as he gently squeezed her derriere. Gasping at his open disy of affection she smacked his hand away and red at him in warning, ''yes but it also depends, why?'' she said nonchntly, forgetting for a fleeting moment what was going on in her mates head, ''why the fuck, does my daughter giggle like she''s onto something every time she sees jack?'' Dante demanded, his tone nothing less than almost growling, Venus''s eyes widened, James and her knew Athena had a crush on jack, it was obvious but they feared if Dante found out he''d go on a rampage, confused and baffled, unaware of what to do to distract her mate Venus kissed him thoroughly, taking Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g her time to push her tongue into his mouth and suck on his lower lip the way he liked it, ''ill be on top tonight,'' she whispered in a sultry voice, that had her hormonal mate forget all about their daughters crush as he focused on what his sexy mate had to say, and he leaned down to whisper something into her ear that had Venus fisting his shirt, something that was not for the world to hear, and just his husky voice had her moaning low in her throat. He hummed his reply at her heated and bothered reaction, and thats when he knew his life was truly and utterlyplete, his dark past was forgotten the moment Venus stepped into his life, she made him forget everything bad, And Venus knew, when you truly love someone, no matter the time and situation if they want you enough they will change for you, this adonis in front of her that owned all of her like she owned all of him was once a feared lycan with a dark past and an even darker future, he eased her into everything and with time together they over came their fears, hepleted her, he helped her grow stronger and showed her love when no one was there to, despite their setbacks she knew at the end of the day he loved her no matter what and he did everything he could to prove it to her, sincerityes from the heart, and she found a love so pure it warmed her from within, and even during times when he was away, it was the mere thought of him that brought a smile on her face. Love is not always on a high, but on those days respect and care for each other over powered, he was her best friend and her protector, just like she was his. and she knew the reason for her happiness and peace, was her dark lycan. ___________________________________________________________________ hello my lovelies, this is it, the end of her dark lycan, its been a crazy journey with all of you and the over whelming response i have received on this book, I''m so happy to have shared my work with all of you and i hope you all know how much this means to me, thank you for everything i owe it all to you guys with all my love to you, i must take my leave now, i hope in the future once again I''m able to work on something as amazing as this book. thank you once again, take care of yourselves The Novel will be updated first on this website.
