ROSA'S POV How I felt? Free. I smiled in guilty satisfaction, as I threw in the last of my belongings into my suitcase, ready to leave this sad life behind. Very eager to leave this lonely and secluded house that Andrew had forced me to call a home. He was buried this morning, and I was already prepared to leave. Picking up my suitcase, I walked out of the room, making my way towards the living room. I looked around the place for a moment, and I felt a pang within me. Andrew was really dead. For the first time since it happened, I felt the numbness within me, develop into sadness. But the sadness disappeared as quickly as came. "Goodbye Andrew." I whispered in the eerily silent living room, before making my way out. It had taken me a while to get to my destination, because of the extra luggage I had carried. But eventually, I arrived at the place that would be my new home. It was a place I wasn't used to, but with time I would definitely adjust. Opening the door and wa
ROSA'S POV "I was shifting as a result of the pain Logan was causing me." She said. "H...how?" I asked, completely at loss. "2 years ago, I made a grave mistake.... which led my mate to reject me." Her eyes were fast becoming red. "As a result of his rejection, I developed a phobia of touching or being touched by people." Wow. "Haphephobia." I said, and she nodded. "You loved prince Sebastian." I whispered, trying to make her understand the fact that I didn't judge her for loving someone other than her mate. "No... no no no." She sniffled. "I don't love Sebastian. I thought I did, but I don't." "You don't?" I asked in suprise. I was trying to be careful as to not make her become too self conscious, and stop speaking. "No, I don't." She nodded. "I had been so desperate to be Alpha after my parents, so much that it caused a strife between Andrew and I. I thought I deserved the position better than he did. I worked so hard for my parents t
3 YEARS LATER (PRESENT TIME) RYAN'S POV I groaned in pleasure as I spilled my release onto her redenned butt. I continued pumping my shaft until it was all out, then headed to the bed for a good rest. I was so stressed today, and I may have just been relieved of a little part of that stress through Aliya. Having a good release was necessary for a calmer mind. 'Indeed'. My wolf scoffed. 'What? It truly was!!'. I heard Aliya's retreating steps, and my eyes slowly closed in slumber. I was literally at the gate of la~la land, when I sniffed Ralia's scent. "A good sleep would definitely make the whole excercise more satisfying." She said, and my eyes flung open immediately. She was around? "Ralia. When did you get here?" I sat up. "A few minutes ago. Ryan, tell me you're still fucking the maid." She demanded, a look of pure dissatisfaction on her face. I clearly was still shagging her, wasn't I? "I walked past her on my way in, and goddess, did she smell like sex!" "I
ROSA'S POV I remained busy cooking my dish, stealing glances from time to time, at Audrey's soldiers, who had shown up here so early in the morning. They seem to have brought an important message for her, and I wondered what it could be. I could hear them whisper amongst themselves the whole time, and had to control the urge to ask them what was happening. I sniffed Audrey's scent and smiled to myself when I realized she was up. "Rosa!" Audrey called out to me. She sounded quite ecstatic, and I loved it. I always loved to see her happy. "Good morning to you too!" I grinned, busy scooping the meal I had just made, into a plate. "Come, eat something before you leave." I said. Knowing Audrey was likely to go training the whole day on an empty stomach, I made it my obligation for the past 3 years, to ensure that she was properly fed. "Rosa, you don't always have to do this." She complained as usual. "I can cook too, you know. You don't need to stress yourself....." "You're
RYAN'S POV I released a scoff from the balcony, as I watched Logan and Audrey being all lovey dovey. Goddess! I couldn't believe they were together again, and were finally at peace with each other. A lot had happened in the little space of 5 weeks, and it was a surprise I hadn't combusted as a result of heightened emotions. Firstly, there was a war cry from the community of rogues. Apparently, Logan had dreamt anout the war, on the morning of his father's birthday. That was why he kept talking about an upcoming war. Actually, over decades ago, the war had been prophesied to happen, but I guess I didn't just believe it was going to happen. If anything, I thought the war was going to be a power tussle amongst the supernatural races. Imagine my shock to realize it was a war between the supernatural races and the rogues. Insane stuff. What was more insane, was the fact that Sebestian was the one leading the rogues in this war. It was a hard pill for me to swallow. S
A DAY EARLIER ROSA'S POV Its been 4 weeks, 5 days, and some hours since Audrey left for the palace. Saying I was lonely was an understatement. I felt empty. I suddenly had no purpose. Okay, fine! Maybe I was exaggerating things, but only a little. Audrey was pretty much the reason I always had a progressive day. Now, I just got up from bed in the morning, unsure of what to do with myself. There was no one to cook for, talk to, or look forward to seeing at the end of the day. Alpha Denver's mate did come to check up on me a couple of times, but conversations didn't flow so well with her, compared to Audrey. Forcing myself off the bed, I walked towards the vanity, and picked up the slightly crumbled paper on it. I was surprised the poor paper hadn't already torn, considering how many times I had read it since I received it. It was a letter Denver had sent it 4 weeks ago, after they had settled in the palace. Up until now, the contents of the letter seemed surreal. I couldn'
RYAN'S POV I stood transfixed in my spot, unable to explain what had just happened to me. Had this lady just compelled me to tell the truth? "I think you've done enough, Ryan." Audrey muttered, looking quite pissed. "Let's go, Rosa." She said, pulling the lady along. The lady.... that lady. I just found out that lady was my mate. Goddess!!! I felt like screaming in anger. I really did have a mate now. A mate I honestly wasn't planning on having. What was going to happen now? I stared blankly as she and Audrey walked away, leaving this helpless feeling within me. I could tell that the soldiers on the training grounds, all had their eyes on me, and I had to beat down the urge to growl in their faces. Logan had gone along with Audrey, and I was desperate to know what was going through his head. "It's really true." I heard Philip whisper behind me. He sounded so doubtful and excited at the same time. I guess it was too good to be true. But that was for him, not me. There
ROSA'S POV After the shocking event that had taken place over an hour ago, Audrey took me to her room, where I remained until now. She had excused herself for a while, and within that period, I had literally cried out my eyes. I hated myself for feeling that way, but I just couldn't help it. When Audrey returned to the room, I managed to keep my emotions in check, while thinking about all that had happened. He turned out to be the monster hybrid. My second chance mate was the Alpha Ryan of the coldmoon pack, and he most certainly didn't care if I existed. Sweet. I turned to Audrey, and she looked at me, obviously still reeling from excitement of having me here. I was happy too. But I hated the fact that coming across a certain person had made my happiness incomplete. I couldn't help how pathetic he made me feel. I really thought I was over such feelings. I thought they died alongside Andrew. I looked at Audrey, and I could tell that she was also pissed, but trying not to
THIRD PERSON'S POV.~~~~~~~~~"I'm tired Rosaaaa." Lily drawled, looking quite exhausted. "I think we should return to your chambers, ma." Lily's personal maid; Rayna, chipped in."Yeah" Rosa nodded in agreement."Let's go." Lily made to pull Rosa along, but Rosa slowly shook her head in negation, to Lily's disappointment. "I would really love to take another round of walk through the garden, Lily. I would come see you as soon as I'm done.""Sure?" She pouted like a baby, and Rosa nodded in assurance.Having spent a better part of her day with Lily, tending to her hair, manicure, and pedicure, it was safe to say that they hand bonded greatly. Lily was a very easy going lady, with little or no drama.Rosa watched as she walked away, Rayna following her behind. She wondered when she was going to be heavy with Ryan's child as well.She started a new round through the garden, and hadn't walked up to five minutes, when a cold voice made her halt her steps."Fancy meeting you here, Luna R
RYAN'S POV."So, what you mean to say is...... Aliya was Henry's mate?" She asked, looking very shocked. A lot of things seemed to have come as a shock to us today. When Rosa had told us about her conversation with Amelia, I knew something was up between Guildford and Isabella. It wasn't a coincidence. Plus, Isabella's sudden appearance at his castle, was really suspicious. "Yes." I nodded. "And up until now, he doesn't know she is dead.""How is that even possible?" Audrey asked, her brows scrunching up in lack of comprehension. "They are mates, he is supposed to feel it when she dies.""I think it's different because she was first banished as a member of the honourable supernaturals. She was a Rogue." Rosa explained. That was true."What exactly is the deal with this Guilford man?" Audrey glared at no one in particular."The only thing I have been able to piece together in all these...." Logan paused, making all eyes fall on him. "....is that Guilford...." He paused again, lookin
THIRD PERSON'S POV 9 YEARS AGO.Sonya released a satisfied sigh, as the Kennedy staff was officially placed in her hand. She had done it! She was finally wielding the staff of authority over the Kennedy clan, and her joy knew no bounds.She had just turned 20 a month back, and had carried out the third and final cleansing ritual that made her eligible to be power custodian. Just then, her eyes locked with that of her uncle, and she gave an appreciative nod. He hadn't lied to her that night, 4 years ago. He had given his word that her sister would forfeit the position of power custodian, which she did.She didn't know how her uncle had managed to pull that off, but she was thankful to him. She remembered how heart broken she felt, when her mother had accused her of probably harming Brenda. She ran out to training grounds, where her uncle met her.Initially when he had approached her and began talking about how he had been cheated, and not allowed to be power custodian over her fathe
12 YEARS AGO.THIRD PERSON'S POV."I just don't get it." Sonya mumbled. "Why does everything always have to revolve around her?""Shame on you, Sonya." Elsa glared, her eyes holding worry and tears. "Shame on you, once again. Your sister goes missing before her first cleansing ritual, and this is what you have to say? How much more sadistic could you be?!""I am sadistic?!" Sonya snarled like the rebellious teen that she was. She may have been rebellious, but her kindness wasn't debatable. All through her childhood, she always had to forfeit most things she desired or wanted, for the sake of her elder sister; Brenda. Brenda was the next in line to become power custodian of the Kennedy family, after their father; Angus. For that reason, she was the favoured child, over Sonya. When they were little, their parents provided the better things for Brenda, even down to things as little as toys.All Sonya's life, she knew she had great energy within her. She may have been the younger sister,
ROSA'S POV "I am worried, Ryan." I sighed, putting on my dress."You know that I prefer you nude." He muttered, a naughty smile on his face. For a moment, I paused my movements and a small smile broke onto my face."You have repeatedly told me that for the past couple of days.""I won't tire of saying it, until you truly believe that I adore your body." He grinned, making such a touchy subject very light hearted."I do believe." I sighed, a shy smile on my face. Who would have thought that I'd be smiling while having a conversation about this?He stood up from the bed, walking up to me and pulling me by the waist."Oh, my Rose." He sighed, tucking a stray stand of hair behind my ear. "I miss you already." He whined, suddenly sounding like a baby. "Move away!" I giggled, walking out of his hold, when he pulled me into him again. His hands laid on the slightly protruded pouch on my belly. Yes, I was being to show now. It was still a bit hidden beneath my dresses but soon, it will no l
THIRD PERSON'S POV "What are you even saying?" She asked, glaring daggers at the man who had just revealed the recent plot twist in this game of chess he played. "Now listen to me!" He lashed out against Isabella. "You will lay with the Gamma, and have my pup as his! He will become the Alpha of coldmoon, and my pup will be next!" "This wouldn't work! Ray wouldn't look at me that way." "Who says we need him to look at you in 'that way'?" He mocked. "All he needs to know, is that you're his mate." "Are you going crazy or what?" She was slowly losing it. "Ray isn't my mate!" "And you think I can't make him?" Guilford grinned devilishly, making her eyes slightly go wide. "What are you saying?" This time, her words came out as a whisper. "What I'm saying is.... it takes nothing for me to create a mate bond that has never been there. I did it before, and I can surely do it again." "What?" "Hmm." He nodded proudly. "All you just have to do Isabella, is listen and do
ROSA'S POV It was the wee hours of the morning, and I hadn't slept for as much as 2 hours. Ryan and I stayed up late discussing, and didn't realize it when we both slept off. I wondered why I was awake now, considering how sore my sleep deprived eyes felt. It took a few extra seconds for me to understand why. The feeling was subtle, but wonderful. I had never known what it felt like, to have my nipples suckled. "Ryan." His name dropped out of my lips, and a long breathy sigh followed suite. His lips were expertly sucking my left nipple, while his hand gently rubbed in circular motions against the other nipple. I knew that I was undoubtedly horny because the drowsy feeling was gradually escaping me. My hand reached out for his head, and my fingers swept through his silver mane, lightly pulling on some strands of his hair. I began to pant heavily when he lowered himself down there, and began breathing down my pussy. I knew what he wanted to do, and I wasn't disappointed. He ate me
ROSA'S POVI couldn't believe that those words had tumbled out of his mouth. That he loved.... me.He loved me.I was his purpose and his.... Redemption.I was that important to the only man that had ever meant so much to me. "Please tell me you love me too." Came his words, and I felt my heart constricting in painful happiness. "Hooo...." I released some hot breathe, feeling him readjust his weight above me."Please say something." He added, his eyes begging me.At that point, I knew I was saturated. If proper care wasn't taken, by heart might somewhat combust. "I...." I released another deep sigh, feeling that painful lump in my throat. "I am scared that at this rate, I love you too much for my heart to bear." I finally managed to say, as a couple more strands of tears rolled down my eyes. I had been so cautious about being vulnerable to anyone since after Andrew, but I realized that Ryan had broken down my walls. With him, I could exist wholly. With him, I found peace. "Rosal
RYAN'S POV I watched as she sluggishly stepped out of the bathroom, avoiding my gaze. It would have definitely taken so much emotional and psychological will, to do what she had done, yesterday. But more than anything else, I was glad she had finally stood up for herself.She didn't have to say much, for me to deduce the kind of life she had as a growing child. She was most certainly bullied, humiliated, taunted by others. To make things worse, the very man who was supposed to care for and protect her, only ended up being her worst nightmare. Whenever I replayed that seen from her dream in my head, my blood boiled. Seeing her kill that man, had satisfied me in a way that killing him myself, wouldn't have.Deep down, I knew she had set herself free from a lot of emotional pain and baggage, especially after finding out that the same man had locked her powers and killed her mother.Rosa was so strong and my admiration for her had increased, if that was even possible. With how much my h
