Amanah6 Weeks AgoNever did I think that what happened with Miall would be the reason I would go back home, it wasn't my first option but when Anin suggested we take a vacation back home, I agreed.I had a lot of mixed feelings about the whole situation with Miall, and I just couldn’t bear to be in the same space as him. Oh, I hated him so much!He came by almost every day to apologise, but Nyleve didn’t allow him to see me. He would stay in the house all day and continuously beg his mother to allow him to apologise to me.As if he couldn't just climb up the walls and stand on my balcony all day, but no...he was ashamed to face me and wanted to feel as if he was putting in the effort even though he wasn't.And as strong as I was, I would just spend the whole day crying because I will admit this: I was really hurt this time. Despite knowing that I had almost no chance with Miall, I wasn’t expecting him to do such a thing right after our engagement. It really hurt me, and I shouldn’t ha
"Still can't believe you grew up alone," she huffed, and I laughed as I pressed my face against her arm."It wasn't that terrible," I lied, and she pouted. “Does it really make you sad?” I asked, amused.She unhooked our arms and pinched my cheeks.“Yes! No one should ever grow up alone, and you care so much about everyone, even Willow,” she gagged. “It hurts me to see you so lonely. I want to crush the person's head who left you alone,” she said as her fist met her open hand. “I’m glad you met Frank because then I wouldn’t have met you.”“Don’t you mean Miall?”“Nobody cares about that man. Now let’s go!” Eventually, we reached the bar despite almost getting lost so many times as if she knew where his bar was.We pulled the doors open, and it was packed. What happened to this bar?Anin and I laughed as we pushed through the people. There was a raised platform with a pole right in the middle, and they were dancing so exotically. I had no words, but all I could do was laugh and cheer wi
“What’s a sunken ship?” Frankie asked as he showed off his bartending skills, and I rolled my eyes. He had so many customers; even though he had a waiter, I doubted she was good at making drinks.Maybe that was jealousy talking, but all she did was deliver the drinks Frank made.“I’m coming over there,” I said as I got up and heard Anin explain the story to him, although I wanted to avoid it. This story about Miall and I was now boring. I wrapped an apron around my waist and saw that Anin’s explanation had gotten a few listeners.Well, the story was altered to human expectations, and it was kind of funny how she had to cut out a few things from the real story.I happily attended to the customers despite having my whole life on Nioz being spilt to people I didn’t know. Who would've thought I would be tonight's entertainment?“And he had the audacity to propose to her in front of his people and later on that night sleep with his cheap ass girlfriend,” she said drunkenly, and they gasped.
I will admit I regretted returning to Nioz, and no, it wasn’t because of Miall but because of Nyleve!“Sit up straight,” she scolded again for the third time today. Yes, that’s right. I was training to become a Luna, and I hated it! I had only eaten twice today, and it was only 11 a.m. I am starving!We were currently at a women-only gathering, and they were extremely saucy stories. Who would've thought even mates would complain so much about their partners? According to earth books, I used to think wolves were insatiable, but here we were, these women saying their men weren't performing in bed anymore, girl!How sad, really. It was not as if I was any better 'cause I had been very celibate since I got here, and it seemed I would be until the end of time.I had been celibate even when I was at home, but since I got a taste of Miall, I wanted more.They weren’t only talking about things under the sheets and how much more authoritative roles they wanted in the community. I wholeheartedly
I sat in Miall’s office, watching him as he worked. He looked so serious and sexy that it was a real mission to sit here and watch him. How he did that effortlessly was a mystery; perhaps I shouldn't have moved in.It had been just a few days since I moved back into his house. Of course, he didn’t like that, but I didn’t care, and Nyleve agreed wholeheartedly with me that if we were getting married, we should pretend to be in love as if we couldn't get our hands off each other.No hands were involved in anything.I will admit, even though things were quiet between us and he tried as hard as he could to avoid me, I enjoyed it. It was amusing and addicting to just pop up around him when he least expected it; his reactions were amazing.For someone begging me for my forgiveness just weeks ago, he had changed quickly when he started avoiding me.I guess I hadn't fully forgiven him yet, but I wasn’t harbouring any grudges against him any more; I enjoyed his presence…whether he was fully her
This was getting tiring. I felt so restless, and my heart kept beating violently against my chest. Tossing the blankets off my body, I groaned as I stomped my way into his bedroom.I had a lot to get off my chest!He laid on his back with one arm underneath his head as he stared up silently; what was he thinking about so hard? How his girlfriend cursed and told him to leave her alone?Aha, that was sad, but I didn't care!“What’s wrong?” He uttered so quietly that I almost didn’t get it. Have I annoyed him already? “No, you haven’t,” he said, looking at me, and I froze in my stance. My belly swelled warmly when our eyes met, and I felt nervous. Ooh butterflies.“Well, it wouldn’t matter either way,” I lied, knowing damn well he knew that I cared. “Are you mad?” I asked, crossing my arms.“At what?”“That I told you not to go after your girlfriend, and she told you to leave her alone,” I tried to sound sincere, but I wasn’t about to offer him the opportunity to say he was mad at me.It
Comfortable beds were the place to be. Even though I was scared to fall asleep in his bedroom, I managed just fine.The warmth from his smooth sheets and the way they held on to my skin in a warm embrace made me yearn for a lover, but I had the best sleep because of the climax I had last night. But I could feel something digging into my thigh.I squinted as I got up; my eyes slowly looked underneath my body, and I found Miall sleeping comfortably there.In shock and wanting, I slapped him across the face and screamed. He opened one eye, annoyed yet unaffected. I knew my physical assaults on him never had an effect, but the least he could do was pretend to be hurt.I covered my breasts and said, "What are you doing here, underneath me!?""What?" He mumbled sleepily, and my heart fluttered, so he was not fully awake. I slapped him again, and he turned his face, gladly giving me the other cheek. I was so close to slapping him again when he caught my hand and pressed his lips against it. "
MiallThe training field was the centre of all peace. For once in a long time, I felt as if I wasn't confused and knew exactly what it was that I wanted to do.And not be hated for it...It was as if everything had disappeared, and being alpha or Miall didn't matter; being alive felt easier. The smell of the earth that wafted through my nose, the fields of green that went on for yards, gave me a wind of serenity.However, it was hard not to shift during this kind of training. Everything would have been easier and quicker if I had shifted, but the whole purpose of this training was to see how long we could hold out on shifting. Malakhi wasn't making it easy.Yes, I was alpha and could hold my ground, but Malakhi was very competitive when it came to such things, and Amanah cheering him on right now instead of me wasn't helping.One would've thought that she would be here to support me after her proposal just a few days ago, but no. She loved being the bane of my existence—she enjoyed it.
