"It is unheard of for an Alpha to be punished by a mere human. Crystal, what have you done to yourself?" But nothing made sense to her. She could only stretch her hand and look at him for help. The ring on her finger felt so cold and heavy, a constant reminder that her next step needed to be carefully thought on- ***** "The doctor said if I keep piling up the rut, it'll lead to bad health... I could die." And she didn't want to die. ***** Neglected by her husband and disowned by her family, Crystal has prepared herself to die but when she goes running to her mother's aid, she bumps into her younger sister's arranged husband-- Lycan Prince Silver Walsh who happens to be her mate. What happens when Crystal is on the verge of dying and the only one who can save her is him?
View MoreCRYSTALAs soon as the realisation comes, my body jerks in fear and I'm suddenly enveloped in pain again. I thrash my head and slam into a tree, growling as I fight back for control.“ Stay still!” I hear Silver yell, trying to catch my attention but I snap my head back and growl at him. All the wicked, cold-hearted things he's said to me are on replay as I see his face again and I clench my paws to keep myself from smacking him so hard. “ I can handle it,” he says and he's taking off his shirt and tossing it aside. “Hit me.”I growl at his bizarre request and take a few steps back but he's walking closer, spreading his arms wide.“ Let your anger out, come on.”I- I'll kill him if I touch him.Strangely, the offer is tempting and I really do want to beat him to a pulp but, I can't do that. What if I harm him?My gaze softens and the anger subsides from my chest when my eyes land on his neck. There's a bandage over it but I can still feel the connection and slowly, I'm stepping forwa
CRYSTALI swallow the lump in my throat as I prepare myself for what may come next. As much as I want his teeth in my skin as I hold him so close to me, I can't let that happen.“ I'm sorry.”Silver lifts his head as his eyes blaze with deadly warning, “Don't say that-”“ I didn't mean to-”“ Shut up, Crsytal.”“I wasn't thinking-”The wind slams hard against my face as he's suddenly standing next to me. His aura is heavy and thick with annoyance and I lift my head up to his smoky eyes.“And here I thought we were finally getting somewhere but having you apologize for it only makes me feel stupid.”I'm shaking in his presence, my wolf quivering from his tremendously heavy aura.“What did you intend to happen when you sunk your teeth into my neck?” He asks. “You think I haven't thought of doing that to you?”I know, I know that. I know he's been holding back so much and he only did that because of me. I wasn't ready – and I'm still not ready for his mark.I messed up and he doesn't nee
CRYSTAL In a few hours, we're packing a bag for the trip. My mother already sent a car to bring us in. I didn't expect to leave so soon but three days is in… well… three days.It's so soon. I feel like I could blink and I'm seeing Ruby and Silver performing the mating ceremony or standing before the alter.I walk to the Jeep and one of the guards open the door, bowing to me. Looking over my shoulders, I say, “ You'll follow behind us in your car. I want to ride alone.”Before John can make a protest, I'm getting in and the door is being shut. I watch the heaviness sit on his brows, he grits his teeth and almost stomps his feet to his car. He doesn't even try to come close to the Jeep, the bodyguard wouldn't let him pass.He'd have to understand that it's a different world we live in when I'm amongst my own Pack and family. My word is law, his words don't matter.I'm counting on my father and whatever forces out there to help me handle the situation before I get back.There's about fi
CRSYTALMy mother leaves with a final wave and I watch her car drive off with my heart sinking deeper and deeper into my chest.He's moving on with the wedding… I never imagined– no, what was I expecting! It was going to happen anyways! It was either Ruby or Claire, I was never in the picture-“ Your sister's fiance,” John's voice breaks my thoughts and I'm turning to meet the judgement in his eyes.He knows.Now that he knows, I'm in a more deeper mess than I ever expected to be.“ Do you really have no shame, Crystal?” He folds his arm while I shut the door gently, hoping to disappear and be with myself for a while but this… I have to go through this.“ Why reconnect with your family if you're going to mess things up later?” He wonders, his words heavy with accusations and he has no idea how much they affect me.I'm startled when my visions blurry and a tear drops on the floor. I didn't realize I was crying already.“ You're even more despicable–”My guts are wrenching in hurt and s
CRYSTALI shut the door and head for the stairs quickly where I go to my room, take off my clothes and draw a bath, sitting in the bathtub and hugging my knees.I try to tell myself it's not real. I didn't do that, I didn't, but the mark on his neck says otherwise.I slipped out of bed so fast, grabbed anything I could find and took his car back home. Now I'm sitting in the bathtub, alone in the house, rethinking my actions.I've not only ruined his life, I've jeopardised Ruby's chances of marking him. You can't re-mark an already marked mate, it's impossible.I can't explain what came over me. I listened to my wolf and let her ride on the waves of my jealousy.I couldn't bring myself to face him after what I'd done. What would I say in my defence?‘I didn't want you to be marked by anyone so I… I lost control-’Dammit, Crystal! He's been holding back too! Silver could've marked me a long time ago and ruined my life but he didn't. Yet I just effortlessly took the decision into my own
JOHN: “ Are you certain though?” Harry asks for the umpteenth time. “ Damn, that's rough! I never thought she was capable of something like that-” I slam the drink on the table, half drunk as I say in a loud voice, “Those werewolves can never be trusted, I tell you! They are a freak of nature and they never should've been accepted into our damn society.” A few drunken men in the local pub chorused in agreement and murmurs rose as we all found a topic to agree on. “ I'll still never understand how man and dog can be in one body. That's a freak!” “ Hey, hey, listen, listen,” one got on his feet, staggering while holding his beer. “ I once dated a were… er… woman. Werewoman-” “Boo!” The other men chorused trying to shut him up. “ Just listen, it gets interesting,” he swears and I give my attention. “She was so beautiful, had a big brown wolf too but you never hit a dog twice. She claimed she was having my kids but bitch, I ain't fathering no dog babies. I blocked the hell outta her
CRYSTAL“ What are you doing?”I turn swiftly as my heart leaps in shock. He's standing by the door with his arms folded and his smirk suddenly turns to a frown. After acting so suspicious, it's only logical for him to look suspecting.“ You startled me,” I turn back to the bed where I pick up my clothes from the night he brought me here and the beach wear. I've taken a shower and I'm tying the white towel around my chest.“Where are you going with that?” He asks once I walk past him, heading down the stairs.“ Laundry.”“ What for? I can just get you new ones-”“ I have to wear my old clothes back anyways.”He's following behind and I'm very aware of his presence. I chew on my bottom lip, feeling nervous with a weird ache in my stomach. Good thing we didn't have sex last night. He's not willing to use a condom and I don't have my contraceptives here.He must've thought of that. I never imagined he could be so thoughtful. The old him wouldn't have cared less.I don't mind. I'm glad he
CRYSTAL Silver and I took a shower together. Just having him scrub my back and wash my body was enough to make me relax. Despite his cock pressing against my ass, he didn't make any attempt to turn his actions sexual. After a relaxing shower, we stepped out in our robes and we had dinner and some wine. After which we watched a decent movie together, all the while in each other's arms. He wasn't joking when he said it was just going to be about us. Our fingers were intertwined and not once did he point out the ring I was wearing. I didn't know whether to feel nervous or grateful that he wasn't bringing it up. “Should we visit the beach tomorrow?” Silver asks as we climb the stairs, we were calling it a night so soon. I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore and he had caught me dozing off and yawning now and then. “It would be stupid to visit a beach house and not go to the beach.” “I’m glad you feel the same way. Can you swim?” I shake my head, “Not to save my own life, no.
CRYSTAL**FLASHBACK**I hid under the table with my heart pounding in my chest. His footsteps are just outside the door.The door opens and I hold my breath, eyes going wide in panic.If he finds me, it's over. I won't feel my ears for a while but I can't do it. I can't step outside-“Ah!” I squeal when his large hands grab my legs and pull me out effortlessly. The bright light from my window almost blinds me and I'm hanging upside down in my father's grip.His brows are furiously knitted and the scowls are no joke. Uh-oh! I'm in big trouble.“ What are you doing here, Crystal?” I gulp at his voice as he makes no attempt to set me down on my own two feet. “ Hiding? An Alpha never hides.”There he goes again. Alpha this, Alpha that. Can't I just go one day without hearing that!“ I was…” I think of what to say. “ Looking for my–”“ Looking for a lie?” He half glares but his face softens and he carefully lets me down. “ You should eat more.”He just makes it look so easy. I'm fourteen a
