The day I turned 18 was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. The beginning of my future with my mate but it all turned to hell when I was rejected. He wanted someone powerful, someone equal to him. An accessory that could help him gain power...

Arius began laughing "Oh my love, you're so funny."
He continues to laugh as he says, "You're so cute. I've an idea. Why don't I go to the lycan kingdom and cut his head off."
"You can't, Ari," I said, softly.
"I can do whatever the fuck I want. I think you forget that I'm a fucking god and the plus side of being a god is that I don't have to follow mortal legal systems."
"Death is too easy for him," I snarled.
Arius raised his eyebrow and asked, "And what do you think will be a fit enough punishment for our dear Sinclair, beautiful mate."
Giving him a smirk, I replied, "Thank you for asking, my darling."
"I want him to think that he has won, and then I want to see the look in his eyes as we take everything from him. Sin thrives on power and once he realizes it's all gone, you can do whatever you want with him, Ari."
"Why do you want to hurt him, amare?" Arius asked.
"You're not the only one that wants to protect their mate. It's my time to protect you, revenge for you. I also have a personal vendetta against him that he thinks I will die by his hands."
In a flash, Arius picked me up and placed me in his lap, placing kisses all over my face. Giggling, I made no attempt to stop him as I ignored our audience, reveling in Arius's touch.
"Why do you always put me on your lap?" I asked.
"I want my perfect girl on me at all times," he answered.
"Do we have to sit here and watch this?" Allegra said, rolling her eyes.
I turned around in Arius's lap and stuck my tongue out in response as she did the same. Adonis on the side looked out of place in this whole exchange.
"Let's get back on track, ladies and Arius, keep it in your pants," Akoni said to Arius, who was still peppering kisses on the side of my neck.
"What is your plan, Ana?" Adonis asked, breaking his silence.
"Present me to Sin when you take me back, Adonis. We can spin a lie that Arius is a horrible mate, and that I wanted to get back together with him. In the meantime, Arius can go meet with Abia to get some spell that will take all of Sin's power and make him a mortal human," I explained.
