Amanah"And this way, they were able to complete the orientation. Do you understand?" Miall asked, looking at me; this was what I heard. "Gargle gargle, sheru shama shakes, hedi hedi faya."I nodded, looking right into his eyes."Wow, who would've thought you explain things in such an understandable way!" I exclaimed, smiling innocently. Imma fail. This man didn't know any better than I did. "So that tactic didn't work; maybe we should try something else?" Michael suggested as he pushed his glasses up, and I smiled, leaning against my hand as I looked at him."I totally agree," I whispered, and Miall pushed my hand down, making me sit up straight. I stuck out my tongue for him, and he blew me a kiss. I rolled my eyes regardless of the way my heart fluttered. "How did you learn in school, Amanah?" Michael asked as he sat down, crossing his leg over the other. "Uh, they read out of the textbooks and then told us to go study on our own what we didn't understand," I said, clasping my ha
My heart violently beat against my chest as I stared at those huge bronze doors; who could open those anyway? Maybe this was a mistake. I couldn't remember anything at all. All that I had studied was gone the moment we arrived here.What was a leader? The role of a leader is to be a big meanie in front of people because they cannot deal with their own emotions and find it better to bottle up their feelings. After all, they think they deserve to be heard. That didn't sound right. Okay, to be fair, that was a hard question; maybe I should try explaining the phenomena of the eye theory—I knew that one. Purple eyes were purple because they were powerful beings? Oh God, I'm failing!I told them I couldn't do it, I told all of them, and they convinced me I could. Fuck all of them!"Breathe," Miall said as he turned my head and made me face him. Suddenly, all the anxiousness was replaced with butterflies when I saw him smile. "There you go, you'll do great," he whispered, pressing his lips o
"Ugh, I can't wait to give birth already," I groaned as I held onto Miall's hand. We were walking on a trail with giant trees around us. So much for reserving a spot.I usually would be scared because I was sure this was where people disappeared; however, Miall brought a safe feeling."We're almost there," he laughed, squeezing my hand gently."If we had just gone home, I would've already eaten—woah," I stopped my rant as we made it out of the woods. "Blue skies? Blue skies! Are we on—" I turned to face him, and he smiled, nodding."Yes, we're on earth," he confirmed, and a scream left my lips."How!" I covered my mouth. "You didn't even open a portal, though," I whispered, looking at him.We stood on a cliff, and the scenery was beautiful. The lush green forest welcomed us with its warmth and fresh air."Nothing compares to this," I sighed, and Miall cocked his head to the side. "You know what I mean," I laughed, clinging to his arm."Yeah, your polluted air makes you happy," he rolle
"How's the child doing?" I asked Anin as soon as I saw her. "He's fine; he just has a bit of eczema and a fever from being left out there. How did you guys find him?" She asked, and I looked at Miall. "He was crying," I shrugged, and she raised her eyebrow. "While we were on a date," I whispered, and she smiled. "I see. Can I ask you for a favour?" She touched my arm, and it was my turn to raise my eyebrow."What is it?" I asked, and she nervously smiled. "May you please share some of your colostrum with the baby?""I don't have that," I answered. What is colostrum?"Amanah, we went through the different terms last week; I can't believe you've already forgotten. Your breast milk, the baby will wake up soon, and he'll be hungry.""Uhh—" I dragged, and Miall was quick to answer."Like hell she will, no." He flat-out refused."Yes, I'd love to," I smiled, clasping my hands together and looking at Miall. "Thank you so much, Amanah; I'll go get the breast pump," she ran down the hall,
Orion and I crossed our arms over our chests as we watched Amanah walk in circles around the kitchen with that scentless baby embraced in her warm arms. She cooed at him like a baby-crazed maniac and wasn't paying us any mind. That was what it had been like for a week. He wasn't even all that, and yet he was the one who received all the snuggles, hugs, and kisses. Ugh."Do you think she would mind if we switched him out with a doll?" Orion asked, and Amanah raised her head as if she heard something."What's wrong? Are you perhaps tired of carrying him?" I questioned, and she looked down at him and shook her head before she turned to stare at me with an indescribable look. "I thought I felt maliciousness from you," she whispered before she smiled. "I must be going crazy," she laughed, and I hesitantly laughed along. "Malicious? Not ever," I smiled, and she nodded as she left the kitchen, heading to the dining room where she had forced me to build a makeshift bed for the baby. "Make
I stared at Miall, surprised at what he just said to me. What was going on? He seemed flushed, and his eyes seemed crazy with desire and hunger."What?" I whispered, and he smirked, pressing his lips on my neck, hiking my dress up as he pulled my leg up to his waist. This man was freaky; I liked it!"Touch your mate, Amanah," he groaned as he pressed himself against me, inducing a gasp from me."What's going on with you today?" I asked again, pulling his head away from my neck; his eyes glowed as he stared at me in desperation."I'm in heat," he whispered as he took my hand from his face and pressed it against his chest; out of embarrassment, I turned my head away, not able to look at him.Oh."Isn't that a thing for just women?" I asked, still not looking at him. My hand slid down his chest, feeling his hard, chiselled muscles under the pads of my fingers.FINALLY! I was going to get laid."I'm a Lycan, so it's not just a woman thing," he breathed out as he lifted my leg and pressed h
"Are you sure you're okay?" Miall asked again, holding my face in his hands, and I nodded. "Yes, it was just a little dream scare," I muttered, pulling his hands off my face. "What I'm not okay with is how you slept still inside me," I said as I tied my hair. He smiled sheepishly and ran his fingers through his hair while sliding his other hand underneath his shirt."Are we still talking about that?""Well, you're still talking about how I woke up," I shrugged, and he pointed to the bruise on his chest. "Fair point.""But seriously, what were you dreaming of when your elbow had to meet my beautifully crafted chest aggressively?" I rolled my eyes and pretended to gag."Has anyone ever told you how arrogant you are?""No, just you," his smile was proud. "That's why you're my mate," he clasped his hands together. I'm getting married to a psychopath. "Do I still have a chance to run away?" I joked, and he gave me an incredulous gasp. "You must be out of your mind if you thought you eve
"Why is it so hot?" I groaned, pulling off my shirt. Miall looked up and grinned as he propped his head on his hand."Because of you," he said, and I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. "I forgot to open the windows during the day," he said, sitting up. "Sorry.""Mhh," I hummed as I sat down on the bed, grabbing the lotion."What is that?" He asked, leaning closer to me."What?""Those things on your nails?" He pointed to my hands, and I smiled, raising my hands and flexing my fingers."Oh, I got my nails done as well today. Now I have claws as you do," I smiled brightly. "But mine are artistically done.""Why would you want to have claws?" He looked confused, and I struggled with which adjective I associated with him now. Cute, or idiot?"Because these nails make my fingers look good," I smiled, and he stared at them before smiling."Then let's test them," he grinned almost insanely."How?""On my back," he sat up, and it was hard to ignore the tent in his shorts when it was po
