CHAPTER ONE

DALINA'S POV

This is so fucked up, I've been searching for hours now for the perfect lingerie I will wear tonight for my mate, Kane. But here I am still rummaging in my walk-in closet in confusion.

I just wondered which one would be perfect for this surprise. I needed something alluring, mind blowing and sexy at the same time.

I wished I could send some of the samples of the ones I have here to Kane for him to choose the one he likes, but that would ruin the surprise.

I just want to appear before him unaware. Then I will offer him what he had always wanted. I told him it should be after our marriage though but deep down I had a plan to offer it to him on his birthday.

Just then something perfect, hot and alluring got my attention. It was a lace bodysuit with sheer panels and strap details and it was red in color which is Kane's favorite color.

The joy I felt at that moment was priceless. I hugged it with a beaming smile on my face. Kane would definitely be thrilled tonight.

I folded it carefully inside a designer bag. And zipped the bag up. My closet was in a mess, I just don't like it when I mess it up, but this mess wasn't intentional.

I didn't have time to clean it up right now, maybe I will ask my maid Lucy to clean it up for me later.

I had to go and freshen up before I would be late.

I dashed into the bathroom and had my bath quickly. I am not really a fan of heavy makeup, that was why I applied a little makeup that matches my skin.

I chose to wear a beautiful red gown, the length was above my knee and a neckline that was elegantly draped, off my shoulder. I smiled at myself trying to picture how Kane's face would look like seeing me in this gown, more especially the red lingerie.

I picked up my car keys and my designers bag which the lingerie was in and walked downstairs. I couldn't wait to be in the arms of my beloved mate, Kane.

When I got downstairs to the spacious living room, all the servants stopped what they were doing and started staring at me.

I was kinda embarrassed with their stare. "Princess, you look so stunning tonight". said Mr Patrick who is the chief chef.

"Thank you very much chef Patrick". I replied with a blush.

"Princess, it's raining heavily outside". Mr Patrick called my attention as I tried walking outside.

"Oh, I didn't notice. Please get me an umbrella". I said politely and waited for him to arrive with the umbrella.

"Here you go princess". Mr Patrick said, handing me the umbrella.

"Please be careful out there princess". Mr Patrick said with a worried tone.

"Don't worry I will be fine". I replied with a smile.

Chef Patrick has always treated me like his own daughter.

I walked outside with the umbrella on my right hand. The rain was heavier than I thought but nothing would stop me from going to Kane's mansion tonight.

The rain would make everything more romantic anyway.

I entered the car and drove off. The road was kinda lonely, but I didn't care. I turned on my music and swayed to the rhythm of the music as I drove.

I got to Kane's mansion in an hour. The rain was still falling, but not as serious as it was from Evercrest.

"Good evening princess". One of Kane's guards, whom I don't know his name, greeted me.

But something was off about his greeting and facial expression, but I didn't give much thought to it.

"Thank you very much". I said and was about to walk past him, but he stopped me with a bow and didn't dare to look me in the face while he talked.

"Princess, I'm sorry but Alpha Kane is not at the mansion at the moment".

That was strange, where could he be at this time of the night, it's 8: pm already and Kane is not a night hunter.

I smiled the next minute, because this is just a perfect opportunity, I will go in and get myself ready in the bedroom before he arrives. Yes!.

"In that case, I will go in and wait for him". I said to the guard and continued my walk, but he blocked me again.

"What's wrong now?". I asked, getting pissed at the guard's behavior.

"I'm sorry princess, but I can't let you in. Can you wait, let me go in and inform him first that you're around?".

"What the fuck is this?. You just told me that Kane wasn't in the mansion and when I decided to go in and wait for him, you are telling me that you want to get his permission to let me in?".

"I'm sorry please.....".

"I want to go in and see what's going on because there is something definitely wrong". I said, cutting him off and walked past him, but this time around, the guard didn't stop me.

I walked into the mansion with my bag. I had to use one of the guest rooms first to freshen up because I was kinda wet.

I walked upstairs and I got to the passage of the guest room, and entered one of the guest rooms, because there were about four guest rooms on that floor.

I didn't waste much time, I got myself ready, wearing my sexy lingerie. I smiled at myself when I saw how beautiful I looked.

I might not have a wolf power but at least the moon goddess blessed me with beauty.

Now it was time for the surprise, my heart was beating fast but I had to calm myself down.

Kane's room wasn't far from the guest room, it was located at the right passage.

I walked towards the room with my sexy lingerie, the light was not that bright, so I wasn't afraid that anyone would spot me.

As I walked closer to his room I heard some weird noise, but it was very faint.

I continued walking without giving it much thought, but as I walked closer to the room, the noise became much more clearer.

I heard a female voice moaning. My heart was throbbing inside my chest, let it not be what I'm thinking. I opened the door to his bedroom and there I saw what shattered my heart.
