“As a result of that Lycan gained’t cease till he will get tae his prize.”
Me.
Yeah, my father meant me.
I began shaking.
“Tis okay, lass. We are going to no’ let him get tae ye.”
I didn’t wish to inform my father I didn’t shiver from worry however from… anticipation.
I snapped my focus again to Luca. He nonetheless checked out me, and I knew he hadn’t taken his gaze off me in any respect. His grin widened. God, his incisors have been so massive and white… so lengthy and sharp.
As he watched my father and brothers take a protecting stance, he chuckled low, deep, the sound distorted due to his beast. That snicker instructed me one factor—nothing would preserve him from attending to me, not even 4 full-grown Lycans, or hell, a roomful of harmful males.
Luca lifted his hand, his finger pointing to me. “Feminine.” My coronary heart was thundering in my chest. “You. Are. Mine.”
And that is when all hell broke free.

Every week later
It had been seven days since I’d gone by the mating ceremony with Ren, and though it felt like I’d recognized this male my complete life—the connection that robust—I used to be additionally experiencing this new life with him and reveling in all of it.
I assumed in regards to the telephone name I’d made to my mother and father, telling them I deliberate on staying in Romania indefinitely. What was the largest hit was the truth that they didn’t appear in the least upset about it, that they didn’t even ask once they’d see me once more. Was I so forgettable to them?
I lay within the huge mattress we shared and stared on the fireside, pushing away these emotions, as a result of in the long run, it didn’t matter. What did matter was understanding that the person beside me was mine ceaselessly and that there would by no means be a gap in my coronary heart so long as I had him.
I considered my new house, and a smile shaped on my lips. The fort was huge, and though it had been modernized, there have been nonetheless the aesthetics of it being outdated world. The hearth wasn’t essentially wanted, but it surely was beautiful, particularly throughout these chilly nights.
I assumed again to simply final week and the way issues had gone nice… till shit hit the fan, so to talk. My mating ceremony, though making me really feel like I used to be thrust into one other world, had been good and felt so proper. And when Luca truly made an look, congratulating Ren and me on our mating, I knew that meant the world to my mate.
It meant the world to me, as a result of I knew how a lot Ren wanted to see his brother, and since I knew it was in all probability so arduous for Luca to be round everybody. Particularly throughout our mating, since he was nonetheless with out his feminine.
I used to be studying a lot about this unusual new world. It was complicated at instances, horrifying and awe-inspiring, however I had Ren at my facet and knew that so long as he was in my life, I might get by something. Even when it appeared like an enormous fairy story.
I rolled over and curled up in opposition to my massive, robust, Lycan male. He slept soundly beside me, his generally harsh and masculine face now at relaxation. His darkish eyelashes have been crescents alongside his cheeks, and I discovered myself smiling. He curled his hand round my waist, nonetheless asleep, however all the time having to be touching me, as if he couldn’t cease himself from maintaining me shut.
He slowly opened his eyes, the irises flaring light-blue from his Lycan being happy at seeing me earlier than slowly altering to that heat whiskey coloration I cherished a lot.
To know my life had all the time been main me right here was nonetheless a shock. I remembered Mini’s phrases that first evening of my arrival to Dobravina, the way it was stated way back about my arrival. I’ll not know each little element about folktales, prophecies, or the like, however what I did know was that all the pieces I’d ever gone by in life had led me to the second the place I met Ren.
“My feminine,” he growled in pleasure, and I couldn’t cease from smiling at how that deep, serrated sound all the time had me immediately prepared for him. However actuality and my ideas have been a bucket of chilly water on my rising want.
“What’s fallacious?” Ren requested in all seriousness, my protecting mate hating to see me distressed. Heck, I stubbed my toe final evening strolling up the stone steps, and the way in which he acted you’ll have thought I’d gotten a limb torn off.
“Do you assume Luca will likely be okay? Do you assume they’ll let him have her?” I didn’t know why I assumed to speak about this proper now. We’d spoken of this a number of instances over the past week, but it surely wasn’t like Ren knew any higher than me—or hell, even Luca for that matter—on how issues would play out.
Ren exhaled and pulled me in nearer, tucking me in opposition to him and simply holding me. “She’s his mate, and he has each proper to her, however she’s additionally the daughter of the Scottish Lycan King, and the youthful sister to very protecting older brothers. That in itself will likely be sophisticated. His largest roadblock. Or possibly it’ll be that she gained’t need him.
I felt my eyes widen. “A mate… might not need the opposite? I don’t perceive. I assumed it was all… like, for positive.” I sounded so very ignorant, however Ren simply kissed me on the highest of my head and pulled me in even nearer.
“She little question feels the connection and pull towards him. And I’ve little question she desires him, however she’s very younger, from what I do know of her, and her household coddles her. She’s in all probability not skilled any of the surface world a lot, and if she has, it’s been beneath the watchful eye of these overbearing males in her household.” He exhaled slowly. “However I can’t say her household doesn’t have purpose to be weary of my brother.”
I leaned again barely to look in his face. “I don’t perceive. Aren’t you content about this, about Luca discovering his mate in spite of everything this time?”
