Pissed and jealous at Scarlet for being such a sticky gum on the sole of her toe. Thalia pursed her lips unhappily.
It's true that she didn’t have any expectations from Carter at first and wanted to keep a safe distance away from him but that train had already left, staying away from him was no longer an option and now that Scarlet was putting on a claim on what was supposed to be hers. Thalia was a bit..no a lot bothered by it. “Do you want me to deal with her?”
Carter tilted his head sideways and pulled her close by wrapping one arm around her waist with his nose nuzzling her nape, he softly murmured against her skin.
His hot breath se
Thalia didn’t like dreams the monsters will always chase after her and so did the silence. The drip-drop of water droplets and the eerie chill that coiled around her spine was something she didn’t like in the least.Being locked up was no fun and being chased by a monster was even more terrifying. Night after night she worked hard until the moon was dead only so she could have a dreamless sleep. It generally didn’t happen so often but it was better than nothing.But tonight was one of the exceptions where she wasn’t locked by the monster or hiding into a dark closet under the stairs to escape from her demons.No right now she was at the total mercy of a thick slanted finger as it drive in and out
"What are you doing here ?" Thalia was glad that she was quick on her feet and didn't dilly dally once she was out of the bed. Shifters might be used to walking around in their birthday suit whether in public or private, that wasn't the case for Thalia she wasn't particularly fond of displaying her marks, especially to people like Alex who made her feel both uncomfortable and disgusted for being herself.Alex gave her a sardonic smile as that familiar glint of disdain flashed in his eyes " What now that you are in my brother's bed, you think you can govern his life ? " raising an eyebrow he smirked " who he can meet, whom he cannot? What's next going to keep his balls in your back pocket ?"Thalia rolled her eyes, her ' just had a freaking orgasm euphoria' was coming down on a hard crash and it was ruined before she could stop it, she was just about to argue with Alex but she was experienced enough to understand that Alex was like a female version of Caroline - once he
" Well are you asking me what I am doing here - except for watching my big brother being whipped for a cursed as f*ck c*nt?" said Alex with a smile when Carter growled at him " Alright, don't get your panties in a bunch, I am here to discuss some important things with you, so after you are done playing, meet me at the pack's dining area" Then he kicked off the doorframe and left.Once Alex was gone, Carter pulled back his alpha vibes. He pinched the bridge of his nose then turned her around, lifting her hands in his " Darling, I really hope that you won't take Alex's words to mind and just ignore him from now on, he is kinda difficult and he adores Caroline, a lot more than I can say I do -"Thalia pulled her hands free of Carter's grip " Really, that's all you have to say? I get thrown in a dungeon for talking back to him and he gets scot-free even after calling me a what was that ?" She fake pondered for a second before she mocked" Yeah, a cursed c*nt? "Just
“ So what’s wrong, trouble in paradise already ?” Carter’s expression was grave as he strode past Alex who was waiting for him, obviously quite smug about getting under Thalia’s skin and his nerves, he was in no mood to play these games with his brother. Compared to the general population he disliked his brother a bit less but right now he would happily wring the latter’s neck. However, his silence did nothing of the sort to discourage Alex, instead, it only made him a lot more vociferous as the latter rushed after him “ If she is giving you this much stress then you should just dump her. I think that will save you a lot of worries, look at those strain lines”The tip of Carter’s tongue prodded the inside of his cheek, as he licked his teeth that were itching to sink in someone’s throat and rip his windpipe out, pivoting around he faced Alex fully “ Listen carefully Alex, if you think that you will be able to g
Thalia walked past the dining table and took a seat on one of the stools in front of the kitchen counter. She loaded her plate with food and ignored the stunned glares that were directed her way, taking a bite of the extra salty eggs she turned to look at Kim who was darkly stabbing her own food, then she discreetly turned to look at the table. Taking no notice of the scowl that Carter that sent a shiver down her spine, she found what she was looking for Alex was seated on the table with a brat doll, Thalia didn’t know who that female was but she immediately took an instant dislike to her.She looked just as superficial and shallow as Scarlet and with her arms, shockingly locked around Alex even while eating and going by the contemptuous look she just shot her way, well they weren’t going to be best buds.“ Honestly, look at her” drawled Caroline from her chair looking at Carter with air very much similar to a mother in law “ She pla
Running from Carter was an impulsive decision but as Thalia ran past the meadow and the sparkling stream with Carter hot on her heels, she felt an edgy sensation rising in her body, and when she darted past the trees on the winding path that crisscrossed, she looked over her shoulder and what she saw made her to sprint even harder, she had been prepared for the dark glimmer that always flickered in his eyes but the expression on his face wasn’t exactly what Thalia could call bistered.Carter wasn’t in what she called his ‘zone’ whenever he was pissed but instead -she once again peeked over her shoulder, staring right at her with a blank expression that sent chills down her spine. A fear similar to prey being hunted crawled up and squeezed right in her heart because his eyes - they weren’t blank like his expression, no there was something in them that made told her that she shouldn’t get caught. Her wolf was growling in her head, discontent
Carter freed Thalia’s hands for a second but only to free one of his hands then he clasped her hands in one of his before collaring her throat with another “ done struggling , sugar?” When she struggled, he tightened his grip to which Thalia responded with a growl he reflexively released his own growl, rebelliously gripping her tighter as she pushed against him “If you are done, let's talk nicely”Thalia shoved him hard but he didn’t move, instead, he tightened his hold on her collar, not enough to cut off her air circulation but hard enough to relay the message that he was the one in authority right now. Her eyes flashed wolf as he unsheathed her claws and tried to reach whatever patch of skin she could to hurt him in retaliation “ You don’t want to talk Carter, you just want to mislead me by telling me your pretty lies.” She shook her head with a mocking sneer “ If you want to talk to me then tell me what&rsq
Thalia walked to the porch facing the pool where Brandon was sunbathing on a chair very much enjoying the warmth of the sun caressing his skin, seeing him so relaxed and at ease, Thalia felt a bit awkward about interrupting his rest but as if sensing a presence on his territory, Brandon’s eyes snapped open at first there was a fierce glint in his eyes like he was prepared to lunge at the trespasser who dared to invade his territory but when he saw that it was Thalia, his eyes warmed up and he beamed “ I was hoping you would come to see me, girl”Thalia smiled, veiling all her doubts and suspicions. She didn’t know if Brandon was playing a game with her but currently, he was the only one who could give her the answers that she needed, as she walked towards him, Brandon’s eyes crinkled even more like he was genuinely happy to see her “ I hope I didn’t disturb you?”Brandon shook his head “ Nah, you are fine. I was jus
