‘Kind of busy, boss,’ Benny responds, sending a wave of disgust through me, as I was pretty sure I knew what it was that he was doing. ‘If you don’t want to lose your dick, you better come.’Recently, Benny had found his mate, and he spent almost every waking moment fucking her. It was annoying give
[Ayla’s POV]Pain shoots through me when my feet hit the ground, but I remain upright. Letting out a puff from the exertion, I stare up at the window I just jumped from and send a silent apology for disobeying the doctor's orders.Looking down, I take in the pants and bra that I’m in. I guess they w
[Ayla’s POV]I let myself relax some more as Marah’s familiar power began to wash over me. Although I could verbally give her a play-by-play, she preferred to see it firsthand, which meant that I in turn got to live the encounters again. It was almost like going back in time to repeat the same actio
"Fuck, you’re tight," Aera hisses, leaning down and pinning my arms over my head so I can’t touch him. "How about I help loosen you up?""Do your worst," I respond, closing my eyes and letting myself get lost in the sensations of him moving in and out of me. "I’m yours to use.""What did I say about
[Ayla's POV]For the next week, I stay locked up in the estate thanks to being found trying to sneak back in after my visit to Marah by Uncle Silas and Aunt Lennox.After a long lecture about caring more about my health and my body, I was put on strict surveillance to the point I couldn't even piss
"Welcome back, students!" Big Red booms, calling all of us to attention before I can think too hard about it.

Nodding, I take a deep breath and rush to Ayla’s side while Gwen begins the operation, and after a few minutes have passed, I hear a shriek fill the air before she is lifting a tiny creature into the air and handing it over to Brian to clean while she cuts the bloody cord attached.Once she is finis
[Aera’s POV]9 months Late"Mmm, Aera, right there."Ayla’s voice echoes around me, spurring my movements even more. Knowing she was enjoying what I was doing to her was all the encouragement I needed."Ah!" she gasps, leaning more into the chair in front of her. "Not so hard."Chuckling, I lean for
When I reach my parents, their faces fill with relief, and I feel my heart squeeze. Even though they hadn’t spoken a word about everything that happened, I was sure that they were now expecting me to snap at any given second. I still had a lot of making up to do in order to gain everyone’s trust an
[Celia’s POV] I stare up into Alphonze’s dark, unreadable eyes while trying to figure out exactly what I was feeling. Was I just caught by surprise because he suddenly appeared, and that was why I suddenly felt jittery and my heart was racing? Right, that had to be it; there couldn’t be anything e

[Ayla's POV]The next day, I sit in the passenger seat of Aera's car, staring at Crimsone Tides Estate while fighting the urge to run away. When I entered that building, I'd be making the toughest decision of my life, and I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready.Beside me, Aera remains silent while hol
