ADAIRA~It turned out that everyone else had also forgotten that my grandmother had been alive yesterday, it wasn’t just grandpa and Gaby like I had initially thought. Everyone I tried to ask if they had seen her yesterday just looked at me with sympathy like my grief of losing her was making me delusional. I tried to ask Midi, because she was the last rogue to have seen my grandmother as far as I knew, but she sneered at me before I even opened my mouth so I walked away from her. Like Gaby had said, Gavrael gave us instructions on all the things he wanted done for the day, and we divided the tasks among ourselves. He only specified that I must take more of the workload, and that I must do the most gruesome tasks. Since he seemed not to have noticed my grandmother’s absence, he too must have also forgotten about her existence which was really weird. I had expected him to at least remember because he was really powerful. Whatever caused their memory loss must be stronger than him, whi
ADAIRA ~I was able to get away from Midi and her little minions after they tried to mess with me. Gavrael still hadn’t shown up to torment me, or just annoy me with his presence, and I hated how much I missed having him close. I could still sense him, I knew he was close because of the bond we shared, though I couldn’t say exactly where unless I decided to follow the tug of the bond to his location. But pride made me not seek him out. If he wanted to ignore me all day, then so be it. Goddess forbid that I stoop so low as to seek out his company. But I had to leave the main pack house where we were because the compulsion to go to him was getting even stronger, and I was afraid that if I stayed in the house a little longer, I would give in and just go find him.I had nowhere to go because I was done with my duties for the day, and Midi wasn’t available to boss me around anymore. So I decided to do something I have been avoiding since we all came here, I went to see my parents. They we
ADAIRA~I raised my voice as they began to argue. My father was more at fault here than anyone else, but as usual, he shifted the blame to my mother. Some days, I wondered if they were fated mates or if they had just chosen each other. Fated mate bonds were stronger than chosen mate bonds, that’s why a lot of shifters preferred to wait for their fated mates, no matter how long it took. I had this doubt because I knew from experience how strong the fated mate bond is, there can only be this much animosity for a really strong reason like what Gavrael and I have. But the arguments I’ve seen my parents have over the years sometimes seem too extreme because it was mostly for petty reasons. The way my father glared at my mother and sneered at her with so much disdain because of me didn’t seem like the behaviour of a fated mate. Even though Gavrael and I were constantly at each other’s throats, our mate bond was still palpable when we were close to each other.I would have assumed that the
ADAIRA ~ “Quit the self righteous bullshit, Adaira.” Tyler said from his cell. “Do you really believe that you’re so important to him that your refusal to accept him is somehow holding him back? Open your eyes and stop being delusional. In case you haven’t noticed, he could have any one he wanted, the females in his pack would do anything to be in his bed. The females from my pack, and those from the pack you ran to may despise him, but his power draws them in like a moth to a flame. They may be afraid, but even through that fear, his aura is magnetic. Even the males feel it, even if not in a sexual way. Do you think a male like that who never lacks attention would care about one female’s rejection? You can’t even truly reject him anymore because he already marked you, so what makes you think you matter enough to influence him?” “Tyler, if you don’t shut that mouth of yours. I swear to the goddess that I will break those bones of yours even more.” I growled at him but he just chuck
GAVRAEL ~ I was seated by the desk in the corner of the room I had taken for myself, next to Adaira’s room, when I heard a knock on the door and immediately knew it was Midi. I could detect the presence of most shifters, not just by smell alone, but by their aura, smell could be unreliable. And it was yet another thing I could do that normal shifters couldn’t. I gave her permission to come in, and she walked in wearing a flimsy material that gave me an unhindered view of her body. Shifters weren’t really bothered by nudity, it was normal to see naked people walking around after changing from their wolf form, but Midi was here for a purpose. The female always came back no matter how many times I rejected her. It was obvious even to a blind person that I didn’t want her. If only my mate could be this desperate to be mine. I could hardly stand Midi’s presence, or any other female like her that always tried to get my attention, but I let them stay close just to piss my mate off. Seeing
ADAIRA~I was speechless as I watched him continue to pleasure himself despite my interruption. I should be disgusted by his shameless behaviour, instead, my mouth was completely dry because all the moisture in my system had migrated between my legs. He looked so decadent seated there, like a meal you know you shouldn’t have but can’t resist tasting. I totally forgot about my anger and my reason for seeking him out in the first place as I stared at him like I had never seen him before. His eyes were brown, and he looked so relaxed, but frustrated. I could see it in his facial expression, feel it through our bond, he wanted pleasure but his hand wasn’t giving it to him the way he wanted.“I know you can feel it, Ira.” He said to me in a deep, husky tone that promised to fulfil all of my dark desires if I gave into it.And he hadn’t called me Ira in a while. He was the only one who called me this, and I realised that I didn’t hate the name as much as I had claimed to when he first sa
ADAIRA ~ My legs were like jelly when he was done with me, so he carried me from the office to his room. I made a sound of protest as he passed my room because I wanted him to drop me there first, but he ignored me. When we got to his room, he carried me straight to the shower. My clothes were already in shreds so he just set me down and whatever pieces of it was left on me slid off on its own. He undressed with one hand while the other stayed around my waist to hold me up. Then he carried me into the shower and set me down again. I leaned on him and put my head on his chest so I could feel his heartbeat, and he wrapped his arms around me with his chin on my head as he slowly stroked my hair. The warm water from the shower felt good, but not as good as the warmth from his skin, and the comfort his touch gave to me. Even my wolf was uncharacteristically silent as she basked in the presence of her mate. Moments like these were surreal and perfect, where I could just be Adaira, the fe
GAVRAEL ~ “I… I don’t hate you, Gav. I could never hate you. I just need you to do better, to be better.” Hearing her say she didn’t hate me was a relief. I may be a cold hearted bastard, but I didn’t want my mate to hate me. I wanted her love, even if I was incapable of loving her the way she deserved. “I am who I am, darling. And the only thing I want to change right now is the fact that I’m not inside you yet.” I replied to her as I ripped off her flimsy underwear and thrust into her. She felt so damn good, my eyes nearly rolled to the back of my head. “Gav… p.please. Let them… let them go.” How the fuck can she even think of something else when I’m balls deep inside her and can barely remember my own name? “If you can still speak of them while I’m fucking you, then I’m not doing a very good job of it.” I said as I ripped the front of her dress and grabbed one of her tits. I loved feeling them bounce every time I pulled out and thrust back in. “Gav…” “Fine, you infuriatin
