"You mind if I join you miss?" I ask the lady watering the plants. She is a blonde, she is dressed in the servant's outfit; a white shirt and black skirts, and she appears to be in her late thirties. She turns to look at me with a bright smile on her face, she says "I don’t mind you joining me but I don’t think Lycan Austin will be happy when he sees you working with me." Her voice is sweet and innocent "He’s never happy so it won’t be the first time," I say"I don’t know," She shrugs, with a slight trace of concern in her voice. "I don’t want to upset him.""You don’t have to worry about that, he is always upset and even if he gets more upset, I don’t care," I say walking towards her. I seriously don’t care about anything Austin does or says. He is an asshole. I can’t believe I tried to be nice to him by making a cup of coffee for him but in return, he just acted shitty like he always does. He’s such a bitch!"Are you sure you want to help me? I don’t want to get you or me in troub
~ AUSTIN’S POVI didn’t stop running, I kept going until I was deep into the forest, my lungs burning from being deprived of oxygen. But somehow It didn’t make me feel any better, it didn’t feel the way I wanted it to, instead, it felt like nothing which got me angry because my mind was still fixed on one thing and I am just lashing out of my breath to get over with it. My wolf, Dragon is furious just as I am. I knew I had to rush out of the house otherwise Dragon would destroy everything. I barely can control my anger, but when it comes to Dragon, I completely lose control. Dragon is much more furious than I ever can be, he is in me yet he controls me. My wolf carried us farther into the woods, and I allowed myself to sink into the furthest depths of his mind. My head was still racing with what had just happened, I wanted to turn everything off for just a few moments. I couldn't handle it.Hours and hours passed, and I didn’t get any peace of mind. I was losing my mind. I thought o
~ BELLA’S POV"What!" I exclaim. Is he mad or did I hear him wrongly?"Don’t you understand English?" Austin scoffs raking his hand through his hair "It means that we are having sex so take off your clothes or I take them off myself!""Are you insane," I say backing away from him "We are not doing anything like that.""Then I guess you will have to forget about your sister’s treatment.""You can’t threaten me with that. We signed a contract.""And the contract says that we will consummate," He casually says like it’s no big deal "So don’t waste my time, and let’s get this over with." He says and begins to take off his sweatpants.This isn’t happening. I can’t have sex with him and what stupid part of the contract is that? It shouldn’t even be there. I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat as I licked my dry lips watching his eyes tracing my actions before he finally completely takes off his trousers leaving him in just his shorts. "You better stop what you are doing. This is
~ AUSTIN’S POVI can’t think straight.I can’t do anything. I keep trying to divert my focus on something else but my mind keeps going back to one thing; one single event. My moment with Bella. I can’t seem to stop thinking about it and it’s freaking me out, it’s making my mind go ballistic on me. I feel crazy right now, when I close my eyes all I can see is her and the moment we shared. This is stupid, I am stupid for thinking and reflecting that moment over and over again. It’s wasn’t even special……… who am I kidding, i can’t like it wasn’t. I thought of this as a punishment for her to teach her a lesson to never ever in her life ask me about my family but it seems like it turned against me. My thoughts are all over the place as I sit back and try to relax doing absolutely nothing but staring at the ceilings of my study room. There is no concrete explanation as to why I said those awful things to Bella. None. My heart kept telling me not to say anything but my mind played the ro
~ BELLA’S POVI couldn’t sleep last night, not because I was hurt but because I couldn’t stop thinking about what Austin said to me. He made me feel dirty of myself, made me feel like I slut; indeed he was right I let him touch me. I tried to think about him or anything else but my mind kept drowning back to him. I don’t know why but I don’t believe his words, I think he was just trying to convince himself. The way he behaved last night made me very curious, I want to know why he said all that. Did he mean it or he just said it to hurt me? Either way, I feel like something is wrong with him. I think Austin is hiding something about himself and he doesn’t want me to find out. When he kissed me last night, it was different from the previous time. I felt a strange connection between us and somehow I saw a different look in his eyes. I saw light and darkness warring within their depths as if he was battling against himself wanting to stop himself. I know I sound crazy but it’s true- wel
Anger boiling in my veins, I push open the heavy wooden doors of the dining room, my heart pounding with each step I take.You crossed all lines Austin."Austin Jebel Sinclair!" I call his full name while I approach him. He messed up badly, I will make sure he pays for what he did. "Bella." He says standing up from his seat. He looks at me with a hint of shock in his eyes. "You crossed all lines Austin, how could you!"My voice is sharp and filled with pain, I glare at him, searching for any hint of remorse in his expression but as always there is none. "What are you doing here?" He whispers to me "How dare you! How could you do that, she’s just a little girl." Emotions start to wash over me as I speak. "What are you talking about?" He questions. I am about to speak when he continues "You know what, I don’t even have time for this. And as you can see I have company so behave yourself." He says grabbing my arm tightly.I glance over his shoulder to see two men standing curiously, I
~ AUSTIN’S POV"Oh fuck!" I screech lashing out and punching the closest wall to me. My skin breaks and blood pours out of my knuckles, but It doesn’t hurt, it makes me more furious. I am fed up with Bella and her uncivilized behavior. How dare she walk into my meeting and start yelling at me? Who the hell does she think she is? Just because I am legally married to her doesn’t mean she has the right of a wife to lash out her words at me. I am the Austin Sinclair. The Lycan of this town, no one absolutely no one has the audacity to just step on me and walk away like it’s my fault. This day is just going as bad as it started. First I had to bring my meeting home because the Lycans came earlier than I expected and then Bella came with her stupid little talk about last night and suddenly this happened!! This is great. Another day, another problem, I don’t seem to get away with problems since Bella started living here, every day is just another day for her to find something and get mad a
~ BELLA’S POVStanding behind the ledge of the building, I take a deep breath taking in the beautiful view. It is breathtaking as always but it doesn’t make me feel the way it’s meant to. I don’t feel calm or happy like I always do when I come here. The atmosphere is as refreshing as ever, yet it only serves as a reminder of how unfortunate my life is. I have no idea what I am doing right now. My life feels like a mess and I don’t even know what to do to fix it. It’s almost as if I don’t have anything left. I feel hopeless, one minute I thought everything would be fine and the other I feel like my life is crumbling into pieces. I cried myself to sleep, I felt like I should just end the contract with Austin and go back to my house with Layla but it’s very risky. I can’t do that to her not when I know I can not afford her treatment fees or food supplies. I have no money with me right now and if Layla and I move out, I will be doomed. Her life will be more miserable than it already is. I
Hi guys👋 I know most of you didn’t expect the book to end this way, most of you wanted Jacob to be back but sadly it didn’t happen. However the last chapter ended with a cliffhanger so there may or may not be a “book two” it all depends on what the platform wants. I hope they accept “book 2” because I have so many uncovered secrets to tell and of course, I have a character that I will love to bring back. Anyways, please support me by recommending the book, commenting, voting, and reviewing it. The more support I get, the more the chances of the “book 2”being accepted sooner. I had a lovely time writing this book and now that it’s over, I couldn’t be any more excited to write the “book 2” of it. Thank you so much, everyone, have a lovely holiday and new year. P.S. Check out my other book. Unwanted Mafia King is one of the best.
~ AUSTIN’S POV Just like every single night, this scene keeps playing over and over in my head; a nightmare. It's etched in there, haunting me like the sound of a thunderstorm that won't let up. I can see it vividly, like a movie playing in my head. Jacob, he's there, begging for mercy. His voice and pleads are dancing in my ears, echoing and lingering. I wish I could do something to help him, I wish I could rush in and save him, hold him close, and tell him that everything's gonna be alright. But I'm stuck. It's like I'm frozen in time, unable to change what will happen no matter how much I try. I can see the killer attacking Jacob, he isn’t saying anything but his silence scares me. I watch him take slow steps closer to Jacob like a lion ready to prey. Though I can’t see his face, I can tell that he is dangerously aggressive. From his moves to his body to the shape bloody axe he is holding; it all screams danger and death. My heart immediately starts to race a mile a minute as
"Layla, are you done getting ready?" I ask, stepping out of my room. "Yes and I'm right here," she replies with her cute little voice, peeking out from the corner. I turn to look at her, and my eyes light up with delight at her appearance. "Wow, you look absolutely stunning!" I exclaim, unable to hide my admiration. "Thanks, Bell! I really love this dress. It's definitely the best Christmas gift ever," she says, her face beaming with joy as I wrap my arms around her. As we pull away, I can't help but smile. "Oh, silly girl!" I cup her face "The dress is just a present, not your actual Christmas gift. That's waiting for you under the tree." "Really? Can I open it now?" she asks eagerly, her excitement palpable. "No, sweetheart. We have to wait until after dinner," I reply, trying to contain her impatience. "Okay," she says, though her tone hints at her eagerness to tear into the presents. She's always like this when it comes to Christmas gifts. As we descend the stairs, I feel L
~ BELLA’S POVThose weeks seemed to pass by in a blur, and little by little, I felt my heart and soul healing. The pain and confusion I once felt about why Samaria tried to hurt me started to fade away. It finally clicked in my mind that she did it because she wanted to be with Austin. I can understand her perspective, but I can't help but think that her approach was completely wrong and unacceptable.If she had just talked to me, she would have known that my heart never throbbed for Austin. He's always been just a friend to me, nothing more than that. It's frustrating to think that if she had followed the right path, she could have had Austin without causing all this unnecessary pain. But alas, she didn't realize it.A lot has changed in the past few weeks, and I've noticed some interesting things. Layla has been doing so much better lately. She's not spending all her time sleeping anymore, which is a huge relief. And as for Austin, he seems to be a lot happier overall. But there are
Samaria stood in front of me, her eyes fixed on mine, waiting for a response. I tried to meet her gaze, but something held me back. Was it because I still had feelings for her, or was it just my own anxiety getting in the way?"I don't love you anymore," I say, looking into her eyes. It's hard to believe I actually said it, but strangely, I don't feel as anxious as I thought I would. It's like my heart knows it's the truth and it feels liberating to finally be honest."No!" she shakes her head, refusing to accept it. "You're lying to me. I can't believe this.""You have to leave now. I don't have time for this," I inform her, trying to be firm."No, you can't just tell me to leave, Austin. You need me," she insists."I don't need you," I reply, my tone resolute."Yes, you do. You need me," she repeats, holding on to hope."The door is that way, please," I point towards the exit, choosing to ignore her plea."I can't leave, especially when you need me," she says."For the love of God,
~ AUSTIN’S POVSamaria is definitely behind this. She has to be the one who tried to drug Bella, it only makes sense that way because she was the only one present there and she had the pill bottle with her. I am not so sure of this but I find it very much believable that she can do something of such. She’s done a similar thing in the past so I won’t be that much surprised if she tried to do it again. I have been constantly thinking about this and I want to let it slide but at the same time, I can’t. It’s hard to let go of a matter that is more of a life-and-death situation. Samaria must have been fully aware of the purpose and effects of the medication to intentionally use it on Bella.Leaning against the chair, I try to reason it, all pieces of this situation tell me how badly Samaria is behind this. I mean, first, she gets extremely upset at Bella for no particular reason and then suddenly she tries to get to know her better…. I knew something was off the moment Bella told me that
~ AUSTIN’S POVI have done a lot of thinking and I believe this is best for me. I just have to do it no matter how hard it is or how much it’s going to hurt me. I know this is going to be extremely tough but I believe I can handle it. I have dealt with so many tough things and even though I know that this won’t be easy, I believe I can do it. I have spent years being in constant pain, just trying to strive and be myself. I think that everything will be fine if I just go back to Samaria. She has always been the one my heart desires and maybe, just maybe her words are true and she wants to be back together. I know it's a long shot and I've said in the past that I don't want to be with her, but the truth is, my heart yearns for her. Every part of me is calling out her name, and all I can think about is spending the rest of my life with her.I thought of letting her go and just be with Bella but what if Bella doesn’t want to be with me? What if she wants to be with someone else? I mean B
~ AUSTIN’S POVI'm feeling super overwhelmed with all these thoughts and emotions flooding my brain. It's like my mind is running a marathon, going a mile a minute! And the craziest part is that I can't seem to control my own thoughts. It's like they have a mind of their own, trying to take over the little space in my head.And it only gets more confusing and complicated because, for some reason, Jacob keeps popping into my head, and that's so out of the blue because I usually never think about him. I try my best to keep him out of my mind to avoid getting hurt, but it's like he's on repeat in my thoughts and I can't hit the pause button. It's driving me nuts. I wish I had a magic trick to make those thoughts disappear, but unfortunately, I'm still figuring it out myself.It's been a tough week for me, and I didn't make it to the cemetery to meet Jacob because of all these negative thoughts clouding my mind. It's so strange how my thoughts keep circling back to Jacob, even though I ca
I've got every little detail meticulously planned out. It's going to be absolutely flawless, without a single blunder. I am determined to make sure everything goes smoothly so I can end this once and for all. I really need to put an end to this madness so Bella and I can have the perfect peace we deserve.I am pretty sure that I sound like a bad sister but trust me, I’m not the bad sister, Bella is. She is the one who is trying to take my man away from me. She is the one that trying to impose hateful comments about me on Austin. She is the one that ruined my life and now, I am going to make her feel the same. The only difference is that it won’t hurt as much as it did to me. I've got my plan intact in mind to ensure Bella rests in perfect peace before Austin returns home. After doing some research, I discovered that taking that large amount of pills would lead to death, but it takes time for them to take effect. All I am wishing now is for Austin to not come back before then, as I don
