Torn
Slowly his hands glide up from my hips, up my back to the base of my hairline tilting my head down so that our foreheads touch. His eyes are closed and his breath is just as ragged at mine.
“What on earth was that?” I ask
“The best damn kiss of my life. Worth waiting almost 3 years to kiss you like that” My cheeks flush red at the comment. We have kissed a handful of times over the years. Usually instigated in a moment of weakness by Dimetrius but never anything like that. That kiss was dripping with desire from both sides. It definitely wasn’t one sided, I could feel what that kiss did to him through the hard length pressing against the inside of my thigh through his pants. I figured, why not throw it all at the wind and take a chance.
I maintain eye contact with him as I slowly run my hands down the front of his chest, his eyes don’t leave mine as he sits dangerously still. I bring my hands back up his body again as I wrap my arms around the back of his neck. I adjust myself on his lap, so that now im sitting directly on top of his hard length and lean down to kiss him stopping just short with a smirk on my face.
“Amelia” he says my name almost like a warning. That if I push him too far he is scared that he wont be able to stop. Once those flood gates are open, will either of us be strong enough to close them. I’m risking everything in this moment. I’m risking any future with Abran, and I’m risking my friendship with my best friend I am currently straddling. Fuck it

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen“What are they?” Being dropped down to a Slave status again for an entire year would be horrible. You literally have no control over what your asked to do by literally anyone else of higher status in the city. It was the most degrading part of leaving Oenardil. Not being able to look people in the eye. Not being able to have you own home. I hated it. I don’t know how I would get through another year of it again. “It hasn’t changed a whole lot from what he said he offered you when he visited at the cabin” I let out a long sigh and my face dropped. It certainly could have been worse, but that didn’t mean it didn’t still suck. “What has changed?” He grinned, “Your no longer betrothed to Duane” My eyes go wide when he says that. What does he mean? Once the Circle decide on a marriage nothing can overturn it besides death. Oh my god. Is Duane dead? My eyes flicker to Dimetrius’s with fear etched through them. He shakes his head. “He’s not dead” Thank god, I didn’t want to marry him bu

Chapter: Chapter TwelveHe sat back onto his heels as his eyes still continued to gaze over my body, I could tell by the look in his eyes he didn’t want to stop but this meant more to him. He wanted more then to roll around in a field. I smiled up at him as his eyes met mine again.“What are you thinking about?” I ask. His lips tip up into a smile as he looks off into the field. It looks like he is processing what he wants to say before he says it. Eventually he turns back to look at me and replies.“I know you’ve got a lot going on. I can only imagine that its all a bit overwhelming but I just want you to know, I know what I want. I’ve wanted you since a week after you joined Rircaex, and not just as a conquest. I want a life with you. There is no power play here like there was with Duane, no mind games like Abran. I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine. You can have all the time you need, because I’m already sure” His eyes don’t leave mine, I can see him scanning my face for any sign to how I am taking his decla

Chapter: Chapter ElevenDimetrius had somehow gotten a bag worth of my clothes delivered to the Tavern. I’m not sure who he convinced to help him or how he hasn’t been called out for being with an enemy of the city. One of the perks of being a Master I suppose. I’m suddenly nervous trying to work out what to wear. I’ve spent plenty of time with Dimetrius over the years, but we have never had an actual date. My stomach is a bundle of nerves, bordering on making me feel like I want to actually be sick. I gloss over the options, deciding on a long sleeve full length dress, some knee-high riding boots and my large oversized cloak. I draw my long red hair up into a high pony tail, pulling a few pieces out around my face. That will do. I walk over towards the door to the room and take a deep breath to steady my nerves before pulling it open. I instantly lock eyes with Dimetrius, who is leaning against the wall opposite the door. His lips turn up into a sly smirk as his eyes run the length of my body, starting at

Chapter: Chapter TenI groan as I open my eyes, the blinds in this Tavern are basically useless and the room is bathed in sunlight. Dimetrius is somehow still out cold beside me, snoring away. We have slept beside each other plenty of times before. Nothing has ever happened, but after sharing that memory with me last night. Something stirred deep down in my core, now it feels different waking with him beside me. I slowly peel myself out of the bed and walk quietly over to the bathroom shutting the door behind me. I turn on the shower and peel off my clothes before stepping in under the warm stream of water. I’m careful to still not get my hair wet. After my body feels clean and slowly stops aching I step out of the shower and glance around the bathroom. It suddenly becomes incredibly clear, that I didn’t bring a towel in with me.I sigh as I walk towards the bathroom door and crack it just slightly. I can see Dimetrius still sleeping on the bed and the two towels on top of the table beside it. I carefully

Chapter: Chapter Nine“Amelia? Please say something. I had every intention to tell you about this before you made any life decisions but you were unhappy and Cuyle pushed up the timeline”I just continue to lay there, blinking my eyes but not saying a word. I'm trying so hard to understand what he has just told me. He had a child, with his ex-lover. He actually slept with someone else during one of our separations. I mean, the idea had crossed my mind that it was possible, but even when Dimetrius proposed to me, we had never been intimate. Not when I still hadn’t completely closed the door here with Abran. That wouldn’t have been fair to either of them.“Amelia?” I flinch subconsciously as he reaches out in an attempt to either comfort me or snap me from my mental jail.“I, um, how old is he? What is his name?”“He is almost 2, we called him Isiah” I can feel his gaze on me, his breaths are rapid and his heart is racing. He has absolutely no idea how I am going to react, and if I'm honest neither do i.“I

Chapter: Chapter Eight“Well that opening in the roof meant I didn’t have to negate my way around your front door guards”I looked past him towards the door.“Don’t do anything stupid Amelia. I have come on peaceful terms. Let’s not change that”I nodded slowly, still not moving from the corner.“You slain my Master of War Amelia. You made us look like a bunch of fools. You have thrown everything Duane did for you back in his face. You crushed the heart of Dimetrius. I personally am willingly to look past all that. I will remove your enemy status”“At what cost?”“You returning to Rircaex, as a slave for a year. Then you will return back to your regular status again. Its not that much of a sacrifice if you think about it. We are down an army commander because of your actions”“What about Abran?”“What about him?”“If I return to Rircaex I will not be able to see him will I? And I would still have to marry Duane?”He nodded his head, “Abran is a city enemy Amelia, he has slain many of our guards in the past.

Chapter: Chapter FourMax POVUnknown Number: Loved meeting you tonight. You should come join us at The Rocks.Max: Ah who is this and how did you get my number?Unknown Number: First you call me by the wrong name and then you forget you gave me your number?My eyes shoot up as I look at Levi “Did you give Grace my number?”He roars with laughter “She texting you already? Wow, I knew I had the moved but that’s even quick for my standards” A growl rumbles in my chest as Levi’s face drops and his hands shoot up in the air “Easy Alpha, I’m just mucking around. I’m well aware she is yours. Are you going to reply?”“She wants me to meet her and her friends at The Rocks”“Well, what better way to get to know her over a few drinks. Plus, I could chat to some of those smocking hot friends she has” I roll my eyes as I look back down at my phone. “What name did you call her again?” Levi eyes me suspiciously before he answers“Hayley”Max: Hayley my badGrace: Guess again big boyJesus. I wonder how drunk she is righ

Chapter: Chapter ThreeThe club is absolutely pumping. It’s the perfect RNB night, the dance floor is packed and the line for the bar is crazy long. Bodies are grinding and flowing. The smell of alcohol mixed with sweat and perfume hit me as soon as we opened the door. I honestly can’t remember the last time I had even been in a club, being in a long-term relationship would do that to you I guess.“We need somewhere to sit!” Macy yelled out over the music. I nodded my head and signalled towards a table not far from us that a group were moving away from. Freya ran over, barging other patrons out of the way before laying her hands out across the entire table practically daring someone to fight her for it. I laughed as I walked over with the rest of the girls and slid onto the bar stool.“First round is on me, don’t leave the table. We won’t get another!” Freya calls as she heads off towards the bar, Layla follows her to help leaving Macy and I.“So, are you going to text that hot guy from the restaurant?” I r

Chapter: Chapter TwoGrace POVI sigh “I really don’t want to go out girls”“Come on Grace, you can’t stay at home and mope forever. You’ll feel so much better if you shower, get dressed and have a few drinks. Please for me?” Freya has been my best friend since Primary School. We were literally inseparable growing up. She even lived on the same street as me.“Come on Grace, the best way to get over a douche bag is to get under another” Macy adds as Grace whacks her “Not helpful Macy”“I’ll come for dinner, but I am absolutely not getting under anyone” I eye Macy. She’s always been the bad influence in the group. Never held a proper relationship beyond the second date. I know she means well but she can’t possibly understand the devastation I’m feeling right now. I honestly thought this was it, that he was the one for me. We had been together for 5 years and were getting ready to move in together. Finding out he had been cheating on me with one of our close friends for the last 6 months definitely caught me

Chapter: Chapter OneMax POVI’m not even supposed to be working tonight. Levi owes me big time for covering this shift for him. It’s absolutely packed in here tonight. We always knew that running a restaurant right on the packs boarder would be a great cash flow injection, but I don’t think any of us expected it to be quite this successful.As the packs Alpha I’m usually only here when we have any large bookings or functions, the workload without the restaurant is already obnoxious so it really just adds to the overflowing plate. That’s what happens when your pushing close to 30 and still without your Luna I guess. I really thought I would have found my fated mate by now. Every opportunity I’ve had to venture into any other pack or attend gatherings, I’ve been there but she hasn’t. The pressure to take a chosen mate is mounting from my pack, but just like my fated mate. Any female I could consider spending my life with continues to elude me.“We just got a request for a last minute booking Alpha, table o
