Rachel’s POV. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding as I watched Darius walk out of the kitchen, his words still echoing in my mind. "You belong to me." I gulped, a lump clutching in my throat that suddenly went dry. There was something in his tone that made me feel scared and giddy at the same time.I couldn't explain it, but it was like my body was responding to him in a way that I couldn't control. In a way, it shouldn’t, be a dangerous way.Damn it! I wet my bottom lip as I stood there, the effect of the moment still dawning on me, my cheeks heating up as I relive the moment in my head. I didn’t like how Darius was making me feel and how dominating he was in every situation; it didn’t sit well with me, yet I didn’t have a choice or say, not after I agreed to this, which I am now regretting.This was supposed to be a pretense, which it still is, but right now I feel there is more to this, and there was no doubt that Darius was attracted to me. Or could I be overthin

Rachel’s POVI woke up to an unfamiliar environment. I looked around, trying to remember where I was. But everything looked new and strange. This place definitely wasn’t my place. I sat up, rubbing my eyes.Darius had driven me home from his family's gathering, but I had fallen asleep in the car. I must have slept through the whole ride because I had no memory of arriving at this place.I roamed my eyes around the long-sleeve T-shirt I wore, and my eyes widened.Shit!How is that possible? Who changed my dress?Darius?No, he wouldn’t do that.I got down the shirt barely reaching my knees, and it was oversized.I sniffed it, Darius's scent hitting my nostrils. A smile tugged on my lips as I rubbed on the fabric almost like he was next to….No!No!No!No, Rachel, you can’t possibly be thinking about him. The fresh smell of bacon hit my nostrils, and my stomach growled with hunger, my thoughts coming short, and I walked out of the room, tugging a strand of hair behind my ear.As I wa

Rachel’s POVWe walked back into the house, Darius was still not convinced of the fact my conversation with his grandmother went smoothly but I had already burdened him enough.He didn’t need to know how it went.Grandma’s hurtful words still rang in my head like a broken record. I needed a drink of water to calm myself down. “Excuse me” I muttered.Darius held my wrist halting my steps, “Where are you going?” “I need to grab some water, I am but thirsty,” I say.He narrowed his stare at me before nodding and letting me go.I headed to the kitchen, hoping to find some peace and quiet and away from the chaotic drama that had happened since my arrival here.As I was getting a cup of water from the fridge, I heard the door open behind me. I turned around, and my heart sank. It was Andrew.I tried to pretend I didn't see him, hoping he would just leave me alone. But he didn't. He walked right up to me, a sneer on his face."Rachel, you're a real piece of work," he said, his voice drippi

Rachel’s POV I walked with Darius's grandma to the garden, the cold air sending chills on my skin. We had just finished dinner, and Grandma wanted to have a word with me. Darius was skeptical of letting me go alone with his grandma, but I had assured him it was okay. Even though deep down I knew it wasn’t, I could handle myself. As we walked, Darius's grandma turned to me with a serious expression. "Rachel, I want to talk to you alone about something," she said, starting. I nodded, gulping down a lump. I was anxious. Of course," I said. Darius's grandma looked at me with a critical eye. "I know you're not from our world, Rachel," she said. "I know you're not used to our way of life." I felt a bit defensive, but I tried to stay calm. "What are you trying to say?" I asked. Darius's grandma sighed. "I'm saying that I'm only letting you marry Darius because I haven't seen him show interest in any woman since his deceased wife," she said. "But you should know, Rachel, that your s

Rachel’s POV I stared at the mirror admiring my dress. After turning my closet upside down, I decided on a beautiful evening dress that hugged all my curves. The dress was a deep red color that made my skin look radiant. I had also done my hair and makeup, making sure I looked perfect for tonight's dinner with Darius's family. I had made up my mind to act along even if it meant marrying Darius. After pondering on Darius's words early today at the office. And then Diana’s words alongside Jasmine's. I was going to make it look so real and believable, but the rules were clean... not to ever get involved; we were only together in the eyes of the public. I had loved Andrew so much more than he did, and that is why he took that for granted. If only he was aware of the sacrifices I’ve made. But tonight, I was going to show him that I was better off without him. I was going to show him that I was strong and confident and that I didn't need him to make me happy. “You look beautiful. I

Rachel’s POV I walked into my office, hoping to have a peaceful morning after the chaos of the previous night. But as soon as I saw Jasmine sitting at her desk, I knew I wasn't going to get out of this that easily. Her eyes narrowed at me. I let out a sigh, rolling my eyes. I barely had enough sleep; my mind kept running wild. "Hey, girl," Jasmine said, looking up at me with a concerned expression. "What happened last night? Care to explain? Plus, you took off so quickly after the gala." I sighed, knowing I wasn't getting out of this. "It's a long story," I said, flopping down in my chair. Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "Try me," she said. I took a deep breath knowing I had no choice but to let her on. Jasmine has always pointed out the tension between me and Andrew… or should I add Darius as well? "So, you know how Andrew was married, right?" Jasmine nodded. "Yeah, I remember. He got divorced a month ago. I’ve never seen or heard news about her. He has her hidden for some r

Lily’s POV I walked into school, still feeling the lingering effects of my heated argument with Noah last night. I hiss at the thought. He had no right to do what he did or say that. I was still fuming about it. I didn't understand why Noah couldn't just leave me alone. He doesn’t want me. He made that clear, so what the hell does he want with me? As I walked down the hallway, I bumped into Tiffany. Oh no! Not today. I wasn’t in the mood for her nonsense, but Tiffany never got the message. She was standing with her squad, looking like she owned the place. "Well, well, well, look what we have here," Tiffany said, raising an eyebrow at me. "If it isn't little Lily, the housemaid." I felt a surge of annoyance at her tone, but I tried to ignore her. ", Tiffany, please, not today. I am not in the mood for this. I tried to walk past her, but she restricted my movement. I groaned. Tiffany wasn't having it. "Listen, Lily, I need to warn you," she said, her voice d

Lily’s POV I walked to the section of the house where Noah lived, feeling uneasy. I had agreed to tutor him, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for this. If I had a choice, I’d be in my room cuddled up and reading one of Catherina Maura’s books, daydreaming about my prince charming. Yet here I was, trapped with a godforsaken arsehole that didn’t deserve my time. As I approached the door, I expected to hear a few noises, yet the place sounded like a cemetery, almost like there was no living creature, but I could pick up Noah’s scent. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door opened shortly, and I was graced with the sight of Noah standing before me, shirtless and wearing only a pair of sweatpants. I felt my eyes widen as I took in the sight of his chiseled chest and abs. I couldn't help but stare. Noah raised an eyebrow, a smirk spreading across his face. "You like what you see?" he asked, his voice low and husky. I felt my face heat up with embarrassment, and I q

Lily’s POV. As the class came to an end, I packed up my things and prepared to leave. But just as I was about to walk out the door, the teacher, Mr. Johnson, called out to me and Noah. "Lily, Noah, can I have a word with you both?" he asked his voice firm but friendly. My heart dropped, wondering if I was in trouble or something. I am trying to get through my senior year with no troubles, and a teacher has never stopped me after class. It made me wonder what I did this time. I turned to Noah, wondering what this was about. Noah raised an eyebrow, looking just as curious as I was. We walked over to Mr. Johnson's desk, and he looked at us both with a serious expression. "Noah, I've been looking over your grades, and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed," he said. "You're not performing as well as I know you can." Noah looked down, his eyes avoiding Mr. Johnson's. "Sorry, sir," he muttered. Mr. Johnson nodded. "I know you can do better, Noah. And that's why I'm assigning you

Lily’s POV I walked out of the school building, my eyes falling on Asher waiting for me by his car. "Hey there," he said, smiling. "I'm here to take you home." I raised an eyebrow, feeling a little surprised. "Thanks, Asher," I said, getting into the car. "I didn't expect you to offer me a ride. And it’s fine; let me save you the trouble... I can walk myself home." Asher shrugged, starting the engine. "I figured you might need a ride, and yes, I don’t find it as troublesome dropping a beautiful wolf home," he said. "Plus, I wanted to talk to you about something." My eyes narrowed at him suspiciously. “Am I safe?” He chuckles, “C’mon, let’s get going, princess.” I settled into the car; he shut the door, walking to his side. "So, Lily, have you made any wolf friends?" he asked, glancing at me sideways. I shake my head, “Nope, they seem to be hard to find… a lot harder than I thought” He chuckles, “We’re very few,” he responds. “I can see,” I respond with a nod. Asher nodded

Lily’s POVI walked into the gym class, feeling a sense of dread. The gym has always been my least favorite activity in school.I don’t know about this school, but back home I never miss a chance to ditch school.The news of being Noah’s family maid had circulated real fast, like wildfire, even though I was less bothered; it didn’t feel good being known around here.Especially now that I am a prime target. As I changed into my gym clothes, I could feel the queen bee and her friends staring at me. They were whispering and giggling, and I knew I was in for a long class.“Hey!”Anna greets as she adjusts her hair.“Hey! You look ready for the gym " I complimented seeing as how she looked a little bit too excited.“Well, what can I say?” she giggled.The teacher blew her whistle, and we all gathered around her. "Today, we're going to play dodgeball," she announced, handing out the balls.The queen bee and her minions snickered and whispered to each other, casting dirty glances my way. I
