Fishing out the best dress from the wardrobe, Thalia threw it on the bed. The royal blue blended right in with the black, as crazy as it sounded they had to leave for Alex's pack for Liza’s sister’s amazing ceremony like nothing beats having a party the next day after getting attacked, right? Thalia didn’t want to leave her peace and quiet only to be get stared at like she was some poor monkey to be goggled at the zoo but Carter convinced her, said that as the Luna of the pack she needed to be by his side and they need to show up as a combined force of an Alpha pair. So, here she was putting on a chic dress and putting on makeup with whatever skills she had.
But where was Carter? He was the one who said that they needed to get ready by the evening and now he was nowhere to be found. She knew that he had a meeting to take care of but it should have been over by now right? Then a crazy idea popped right in her head, she wanted to see Carter working in the offi
Thalia had no choice but to remove her oversize hoodie and jeans, she placed them neatly on the table next to the pool, remaining in her sleeveless shirt and panties. She took a few cautious steps but then Carter hooked his arm around her waist and she yelped what are you trying to do? As she felt her feet leave the wooden floor she knew exactly what he intended to do. She closed her eyes as they head to the dark water and jumped when she felt her legs getting submerged under the water.Her heart jumped in her chest just as she flinched at the feeling of water taking over half of her body, the feeling of someone catching her from behind and flinging her inside the pool overwhelmed her. She swallowed hard as her entire body started to tremble, he will come for her, he was coming for her!Blood drained from her face as goosebumps broke all over her skin. No, this wasn’t a dream. There was no way anyone will hurt her here because this was real and the monster was no
Thalia had expected him to bring her back to the room and take her as fast he could but he didn’t. He just scooped her out of the swimming pool, wiped her body with a towel and then zipped up her hoodie after putting it on her, she hissed. The orgasm had been great but it left her wanting more and this wasn’t how she was expecting it to end.She wasn’t sure how she got through the entire process while he was drying her hair without slapping him for getting her into such a state. As he put down the towel and hung it over the cloth rack and left it to dry, Thalia shot him a look that called him a jerk, he just innocently shrugged. “ Don’t we need to get ready to attend the mating ceremony?”Right now she was more interested in mating than mating ceremony but since it looked like he wasn’t going to budge, she glared at him like he was a selfish asshole and answered in a clipped tone, “ Yes.” She was still a
Thalia felt a flutter in her heart she looked away breaking the gaze, damn there he goes saying things that made her feel like she was pretty. Sometimes she wondered whether his eyes were blind or the blindfold that tied his eyes was, how can he say cheesy lines like that to her. Her! The one who had more curse marks on her body than he had tattoos on his.Carter didn’t say anything but his hold on her waist tightened further as if warning her not to let her mind drift off to the rocky road of gloom. A sizzle of comfort and warmth ran through her, sure, she was still uncomfortable receiving praises from him. But this was an effort on his part to make their relationship work even though it was something she both loved and hated. Although he drove her crazy sometimes, Thalia didn’t want to be in someone else’s arms than his, anymore. They will somehow make this work, she knew it- because she has started to care for him. “Don’t think that just
“ What was that?” Thalia gave him a bored look, she found it pathetic that just because the guy’s life was full of misery he was bent on making everyone else life miserable too.Alex’s eyes narrowed as he hummed. “ You still don’t remember anything.”“ And why does it matter to you? Look, I really don’t care why you are so interested in poking your nose in businesses that are not yours but you need to stop.”Alex looked like he had every intention of walking past her and taking Kim with him without listening to a thing she said, but then he saw Thalia’s protective stance and stopped. “ So you think that Carter is not my business? He is my brother and his business is my business. Same with Kim, so lower your guard and let me have a look at her.”Thalia gave him an indulgent ‘ sure thing’ smile and stayed where she was, Kim was her friend and she wasn’t going to
.It would be a lie if she said that it didn’t hurt. The way Carter was putting the matter as if she has betrayed him or something, she just wanted to know the past that belonged to her not anyone else, damn it. She wasn’t poking her nose in his business, it was hers! She wrenched herself away from him trying to put some distance between the two of them because Carter being right in her face caused her to feel things she didn’t want to right now. “ I do trust you, but what about you? You just keep repeating the same thing, trying to keep me in the dark when I don’t want to. What are you even trying to hide? Do you know how hard it is to keep my sanity when all of them look at me like I am committing some sort of sin by staying with you! if I have done something wrong then I have the right to know, you just can’t expect to play a dominant she wolf like me by her nose expecting that I will just follow along with what you want, that’s not me.&rd
“ how much do you know?” Once Carter has scooped her up and brought her back to the bedroom, he handed her a set of dry clothes and a towel and when she finished drying her hair and changed into the clothes he has give her, he went straight to the point as he asked her about the one question she wanted to avoid answering.“ Carter-”“ Don’t even think about bullshitting me darling, I can always give Brandon a visit and find out the truth by either hook or crook, it’s up to you how you want to deal with this matter.” His voice was agonisingly calm as if the person he was talking about wasn’t his uncle but some stranger he can obliterate at any moment.Thalia hated this calm in his voice, it made him painfully detached as if she couldn’t even touch him, she glared at him, “ He is your uncle.”Carter lifted a shoulder, his eyes glinting with an amusing glint, “ Right now, he
“Hey?” Thalia had been waiting for Carter to return but the latter seemed to be lost in his own world, he hadn’t been the same ever since he returned. That long expression coupled with the dark energy that was rolling off him like black fumes was enough to let her know that something was up, but what exactly, she had no idea about it and Carter didn’t look like he was going to let the thing that was eating him out any time soon either. For two hours she left him alone to brood but Carter was still sitting on the porch with his sixth can of beer and staring at the distance, and it has been bothering her a lot. Carter said nothing, but he did lift his face to meet her eyes and the sober look on his face squeezed her heart. “ Something wrong?”“ Did you go to see Brandon today?” he asked, she knew that he was avoiding talking about the matter that was upsetting him but she still went along and shook her head and when he narrowed hi
Carter brought Thalia back to the lodge because he hadn’t held back, as the aftermath Thalia fell unconscious. As he laid her on the bed, Carter didn’t want to let her go, she was like melted wax in his arms. Nuzzling her, he pressed a kiss on her temple and pulled away. Once he was done tucking her in, he made his way out of the room and headed to the office, yesterday he was too busy to take care of Brandon now was a good time to have a good chat with his uncle.As he stridden inside the room, Carter noticed that Brandon was already sitting in a chair with his chin propped on his clenched fist. Brandon didn’t look like he was scared or anxious instead he looked bored like he was just going through the motion and taking care of business that he should be taking care of and nothing more, however, Carter was far too experienced to be fooled, that unnatural stiffness of Brandon told him that he was trying his best not to fidget under his alpha vibes.
