DIMITRI VALEQUEZ
My eyes snapped open, and I was out of Adriana's mind and back in our bedroom. Only Agatha remained in the room.
My gaze instantly went to Adriana's. The black veins that had covered her body were no more but she wasn't waking up.
Before I could, Agatha smiled. “She's fine. The poison has left her, she's just resting Alpha,”
Her words calmed Ryker and made me sigh in relief. And then slowly, my eyes met Agatha's. “You knew it was her, didn't you? You knew she was Esther's daughter,”
Agatha shook her head. “Only minutes ago before I sent you into her mind. When Margie and I were tending to her, we realized she was a wolf, but then you informed us she was also a witch. There was only one person she could be. The moon goddess works in mysterious ways,”
“You’re right. I still can't believe Adriana is Esther's daughter,” I took Adriana's hand in mine. “In there was horrible. She has been living a nightmare for a long time,”
“But thank the heavens she has found her way back home. Esther was family and now her daughter has us. We'll protect her,” Agatha stepped closer. “We caught the witch who cast the poison on Adriana, but unfortunately she took her own life. Regardless, she was not the only witch present, the others escaped. We have no idea what they saw or how much they know. But one thing is for sure, Nikola now knows you've found your mate, and she's a witch. You know what that means,”
My jaw clenched and my eyes never left Adriana's flawlessly beautiful face. I knew exactly what that meant. Nikola Vladimir would definitely be after Adriana. I really didn't want to imagine how he'd react when he discovered Adriana was Esther Blackrose's daughter.
Agatha stepped out of the room, leaving me alone with my mate while silently waiting for her to wake up. To see those mesmerizing blue eyes of hers.
ADRIANA CROSS
I felt quite exhausted frankly. My body ached badly, but still, I felt a sweet tingling sensation around my body. My eyes opened, and I found Dimitri lying next to me with his arms around my body.
Goddess, he looked so beautiful even so close. Slowly, I lifted my hand to his black hair, brushing it lightly, and my hand lowered to his face. The instant my hand collided with his handsome face I felt a spark of electrifying sensation shoot through me. It was overpowering and nothing I had ever felt before.
“Mine!” I heard Naya's purr at the back of my head, and I realized I wasn't wearing my bracelet.
Oh, goddess, Dimitri Valequez was my mate. Did he know?
I was about to pull my hand away when his hand instantly caught mine, and those perfect green eyes of his opened and met mine, knocking out every air from my lungs.
Just one look from him, and I knew that what I remembered wasn't a dream. Dimitri was really there. In my mind. He helped get me out of the darkness I'd been stuck in. He knew who I was.
For more than a full minute, we just stared at each other, and then slowly, he leaned forward, his lips gently pressing against mine, kissing me.
The electrifying sensation I'd earlier felt intensified, and I kissed him back with so much passion and purpose, matching every possessive move of his lips against mine.
By the time we pulled apart, we were both panting hard.
“Mine!” Dimitri's eyes glowed golden and I could feel the powerful aura of his wolf.
Naya immediately shared control with me, her eyes glowing bright blue too. “Mate!”
A satisfying smile found Dimitri's lips again as he claimed my lips again and I used the opportunity to roll on top of him, straddling him while I kissed him back.
Luckily for me, he felt exactly how I did. His eyes were completely darkened with lust. He released a loud growl before flipping us, and now I had my back against the bed.
“You have no idea what bad things I'm about to do to this body of yours, Adriana Cross!” He whispered against my ear in the most seductive voice that sent a shiver down my spine. And I couldn't wait.
