I couldn't tell if it was Catelyn's cry when Rafael took her or mine when I heard a high-pitched scream.My throat felt dry and my head hurt.My nerves felt more alive than they had in days as I inhaled the air, which felt like needles in my blood.I quickly twisted and punched the wall with my right hand.I didn't feel any pain despite the fact that my skin tore and my knuckles began to bleed.Physically, at least.My pupil center felt dilated and my eyes were completely red.They were completely black, and I didn't even need to look in a mirror to see it.My claws, which extended from my fingernails, felt harder and sharper than ever before, and my canine teeth gradually grew into fangs.I turned around and punched the wall once more as I could feel my muscles getting stronger.Rafael grabbed her.in front of me right now.With trepidation in my teeth, I swung and turned.Catelyn's face had frozen in shock, indicating that she too had been caught off guard, and I had not anticipated that move.

We had set out in separate groups with people I could trust with my life.Each group had a team of six soldiers led by someone I had fought with who was well-versed in hunting in the woods.I sent Hunter out alone and ahead of everyone else because he was the best tracker I had ever worked with.I had known him for a long time and knew that was how he worked best.He kept a close eye on Mirela's footprints and Rafael's scent.Following suit were three distinct search teams led by the three brothers, each of which swore to return Mirela to me with no missing hair.Natalie, a fierce warrior in her own right, was in charge of the fourth group.She had perfected the skill of listening to the wind, despite speaking less than the majority of my men.I was hoping that her abilities would come in handy because she could recognize a distress call faster than anyone else I knew.I could hear my soldiers using bird calls and soft whistles to communicate with one another in the distance.A track is the e

When I shrieked like a little girl and felt Ivan's powerful arms sweep me off my feet from behind, Valerian began to laugh.I felt like I could burst open with so much joy when he let out his laugh, which began as a deep rumble in his throat.Ivan threw me to Hunter, who tossed me into the air and gave me to the three brothers.Ivan took my hands in his, temporarily closed his eyes, and used his mind powers to undo my bracelets when the last one put me down.After Rafael had taken me, I took my first real breath and felt a surge of power push back into my chest.I could feel their intense joy deep within me because they were all so thrilled to see me.I had never felt safer, and there were many familiar faces all around me.I observed a darkening of his expression as Valerian looked past me.He gave me a nod and extended his right hand toward me.I strolled over to him, grasped his hand, and covered his palms with mine on one or the other side.As we began to walk back in the direction of Rafa

Valerian treated his wounds in his chambers after all the chaos and fighting.To escape the chaos that was happening in front of me, I led myself to my room.Ivan did nothing to stop him from losing control, and I couldn't believe it.I realize that they had a ton of developed outrage towards one another, yet they obliterated the entire damn house!Men!constantly having to show who was in charge and assert their dominance.I was worried about Valerian despite my outrage at his actions.Their fight had left him with a lot of injuries.I was aware that he would need time to recover on his own.I desired to visit him and attend to his requirements.During my time in captivity, I truly cared about him because I missed him so much.I had my doubts about him, but the fact that Rafael exposed Valerian's insecurities demonstrated to me that all he wanted was to be the one for me and give me everything I ever wanted, which alludes to his desire to be my partner.As I cautiously made my way toward Valer

As he tightly encircled me, I curled up against Valerian's chest.As we struggled to take a breath after giving each other love, our chests heaved.Our bodies were clinging to one another as sweat made our skin glisten.As he tenderly kissed my nose, he ran his fingers through my hair.As I whispered that I loved him, I smiled broadly at him.Finally, I was content and in love with him forever.I moved into Valerian's rooms after I changed.We were together every night, and we always sneaked away to kiss.We couldn't stop looking at each other, and it was clear how much I wanted him.I honestly didn't want to control my attraction to him, but I couldn't help it.I enjoyed the hours we spent together, allowing our souls to merge, and I wanted him to ravage my body whenever he could.My mind began to whirl with questions as soon as my body finally stopped shaking.I was interested about my dad, the Ruler, and I contemplated whether he could show me beyond what Rafael could.I followed my finger al
