Silas Agnes’ POV

“What’s the which means of this father? Why are you in opposition to our marriage?” I requested my father as I used to be pacing backwards and forwards as I used to be taking a look at him. We had been in the lounge and my mom was listening to all the pieces that I’ve to say to him.

“Son—”

“Do you’ve gotten something to say to this mom?” I requested her earlier than she sighed. She stood up and she or he went to me to place her fingers on my shoulders.

“Look, son. I believe you do not know the actual story why your father was in opposition to this marriage to Dana Alepou,” she mentioned earlier than I used to be scoffing.

“Then assist me to know the scenario proper now,” I mentioned earlier than my father spoke.

“She was the sister to the present CEO of Alepou Commerce Inc. and the following inheritor if her brother needed to step down,” my father mentioned as I used to be taking a look at him. I arched my eyebrows.

“Do you imply to inform me—”

“Sure, she was an heiress however that is not the explanation why I resist this marriage,” my father mentioned earlier than he stood up and leaned in opposition to the mantle of the hearth. I used to be ready for him to go on earlier than my mom was getting out of the room.

“Do not be so harsh on him, darling. He barely pays any consideration to what was happening on this island.” My mom mentioned to my father earlier than he nodded. Paying what consideration? What are these guys even speaking about?!

“So, are you going to inform me or not?” I requested my father earlier than I used to be taking a look at him. My father sighed as he was turning to take a look at me.

“Have you learnt the legend of the werewolves in Paphos which have settled right here when Alexander the Nice has instructed that they had been being killed?” He requested me as I used to be nodding. I imply who would not? That was like Truth 101 of Cyprus.

“Then you have to assume that the shifters weren’t solely werewolves. Most of them have been hiding beneath our noses once they had been pressured to enter hiding,” my father mentioned as I used to be ready for him to inform me.

“Are you able to get to the purpose, please?” I requested him earlier than he was taking a look at me, folding his fingers behind him.

“The Alepou was one in all them. They had been one the ancestral shifters that settled in right here,” my father mentioned as I used to be blinking my eyes once I was listening to him. Alepou? Does he imply Dana and her brother? Alepou Commerce Inc.?

“So, you are saying that—”

“Sure, she was one in all them. Dana Alepou was the final feminine fox shifter on the island. Her father had advised me to care for her and be sure that she’s going to get married to somebody that was her mate. And I do know for a reality that you just’re not him,” my father mentioned as I used to be taking a look at him.

Purple, that is all I used to be seeing now.

“Wait, do you assume I’m not the one for her? Why? I may have an ideal likelihood to be her mate,” I mentioned as I used to be not having this dialog with my father. Dana was mine and I do know that I used to be hers. My father sighed as he was patting my shoulder.

“As a result of we’re their servants. Shifters had been thought-about as gods and we have now been serving endlessly for the Alepou. It is time so that you can be taught your home with them. I do not need you to interrupt that loop,” my father mentioned earlier than I used to be shoving his hand away. Servant? No, I can’t settle for that. I’ll solely be her husband, prefer it or not.

“No, I’ve proposed to her and I will likely be marrying her whether or not you prefer it or not,” I mentioned as I used to be leaving the room. My father was calling after me as I used to be leaving and went to the entrance door. My mom was ready there.

“So, I see that you’re not keen to surrender,” she mentioned as I used to be grunting at her.

“When you needed to inform me that I used to be not appropriate—”

“Oh, fairly the other, pricey. I believe you are the proper husband for that lady,” my mom mentioned as she was patting my fingers earlier than she kissed my cheeks. I used to be shocked as my mom was having a unique response from my father. Now I do know somebody was on my aspect.

“Go get her. You do not have a lot time. She’s at risk,” my mom whispered earlier than she advised me to go to the forest and adopted precisely the trail that she advised me.

“Your future awaits, my son,” my mom mentioned earlier than she was hugging me. I hugged her again earlier than she was caressing my cheeks.

“Your father was afraid of your future however you’re the just one that may save her and fulfill her path,” my mom mentioned as I used to be nodding at her.

“Thanks, mum,” I mentioned as my mom smiled.

“Go and get your lady, my son,” my mom mentioned as I used to be operating by the forest like my life was being threatened by the dagger on my again.

I used to be respiration arduous once I was following my mom’s directions. Too many issues had been inside my head earlier than I noticed a gaggle of hunters had been laughing and circling a cage that contained one thing. Then I noticed it.

It was a fox and it was afraid.

I felt its heartbeat was beating quick inside its physique. It was afraid and I believe my blood boiled proper now.

“Hey, suckers!” I known as after the unlawful hunters as I used to be taking a look at them. There have been 3-4 of them and I do not assume I can take them all of sudden. Nicely, good factor I maintain my physique match and my lesson on self-defense updated.

“I believe it’s essential let it go,” I mentioned as I used to be pointing on the fox. It was taking a look at me and its orange eyes had been shining. I felt one thing towards him. Dana.

‘Save me, my love,’ it whispered by its eyes earlier than I used to be snapping on the hunters.

“Lets dance?” I mentioned as I used to be attacking them. I do not assume that my physique would mirror with ease to counterattack them however I used to be having it and I used to be blissful that the final of them had been on the bottom earlier than I went to the fox and launched it.

“It is okay, I am right here. You are free now,” I mentioned as I used to be wanting on the fox, asking it to achieve me. I used to be smiling at it earlier than I used to be backing up and the fox was strolling out of the cage. It was tilting its head earlier than one thing was shifting.

I used to be wanting on the fox because the transformation was occurring and I used to be in awe with it. I noticed the orange fur was gone and being changed by the pores and skin of the human. I used to be respiration arduous earlier than somebody that I knew was standing in entrance of me, bare.

Her orange hair.

Her brown-orange eyes.

Her good physique.

Dana was smiling at me earlier than I used to be stepping nearer to her and pulled her into an embrace. I used to be caressing her hair as I used to be kissing her bare shoulder and I used to be wanting into her face.

“Are you okay? Are you harm? Ought to we go to the physician?” I requested earlier than Dana was shaking her head. Her eyes had been brimming with tears earlier than I used to be smiling at her.

“Thanks,” she whispered as I used to be furrowing my eyebrows at her.

“For what?”

“For coming to save lots of me. I do know you are the one, I do know you are my mate, Silas Agnes,”
