Tiana was welcomed into the house with laughter, her family laughing to something she was sure someone had said. She smiled as she entered the house, her boss’ scent overwhelming her.
“Hi, guys.” She greeted cheerfully, her eyes finding his.
“Welcome, honey.” Alex replied.
“Since you guys are having fun without me, I’ll go get changed.” She announced feeling a little jealous, she paused on the stairs.“Is dinner ready?”
“No, your father’s waiting for you.” Karen replied.
“Why?” She asked, stunned at the reality that her parents hadn’t prepared the dinner and the guests were already here.
“The dishes.” Alex replied.
“It’s not my turn, it’s Ems.” She protested.
“Yesterday was mine.” Emmaline’s protest rang loudly in the house.
“It’s still yours today.” Tiana insisted.
“You just–”
“Just go do it, Emmaline.” Karen told her younger daughter firmly, she knew her older daughter rarely does the dishes. Ti
Tiana slowly opened her eyes to a throbbing pain on every inch of her that refused to go no matter how hard she shifted position. Realising it was external, she groaned, burrowing her face deeper into her pillow wishing it either swallowed her or the person vanished. “Get up!” Emmaline’s frantic voice reached her ears. She groaned again, she should had known it was her dumb asshole of a sister. “Get up!” Emmaline’s shrieks were followed by another thud on her back and panting. “Go away!” She growled at Emmaline, it was obvious her sister was sent from hell to torment her. “Don’t…” accompanied by a thud on her head,“be…” another thud on her back “lazy!” Emmaline shrieked, plummeting furiously with the pillow. “Damn! Leave me alone!” Tiana screamed, rolling over on her back lazily. She saw her sister lift the pillow for another strike,“You have to go to work and school!” Tiana’s brains took a detour at those words,
Buckling her seat-belt, Tiana studied the small but comfy car not quite grasping how a man of Rico’s standard would choose to drive a simple, cheap car. She was sure it’s a Camry Brand, she was a dumbie when it came to fashion and cars. Her situation was so bad that she couldn’t differentiate between a Corolla and a Camry. She couldn’t resist his scent, closing her eyes, she greedily inhaled his scent. Her eyes whipped open when she felt eyes boring holes on her and she saw him staring at her…it was intense and unreadable all the same it undid her, making all the right words take the back door out her brains,“Thank you...for the ride.” “The pleasure is mine, Pup.” He told her, turning on the ignition,“Are you ready?” He asked softly, stealing a glance and stepped in the gas pedal when she nodded. “There’s some analgesic in the cabinet.” He informed her, noticing her rub her temples. “But first you need to eat.” He instructed sternly as sh
Chapter Fifteen: Tiana dug her nails into his lap grabbing it tightly, her heart pulsing widely as he swerved off the road avoiding other road users by a hair. A thousand thoughts running through her head; what if the popular business magnet, Enrique Sean was actually a serial killer who hid behind the veneer of his business empire to perpetuate his gory deeds. She was sure the many horror movies she’d watched were taking its toll on her, whether or not it was the movies playing on her brains, she’d rip Rico to pieces if he so much as dared to harm her. Rico’s heart thumped widely in his chest when he finally brought the car to a halt, it had been difficult for him restraining himself from claiming her but her soft touch, her imploring voice was his undoing and his heart went into an overdrive. He grabbed her shoulders swiftly, staring at her lips, his eyes darkened with desire, feeling the blood rush to his loins and making hin hard in seconds.
Tiana listened as Ian gave Rico the directions, she had met him two months ago, an insistent asshole he was. He continued pestering her life, begging her for a friendship and truth be told, she was doubtful of his intentions at first but soon she realised his intentions were pure. They inevitably became friends when she stood up against a red-head bimbo and her crew, his now ex-girlfriend. She just helped them re-did their make-ups, nothing more; the ex-girlfriend and her friends. She came back to reality when a black camry came into her line of vision,“Not behind this car.” She grunted. “Think of the devil and she surfaces!” Luna Bella piped to her. “World war three.” Ian mumbled under his breath. “Not what?” Rico asked, confused. “She’s at an eternal war with the owner of that car.” Ian explained with trepidation, they were in for serious shit knowing the animosity the owner of the car had towards both of them. “Oh!” Rico repl
The restaurant had a state of the art food vending and delivery service, great chefs that made your events the talk-of-the-town and their in-house services…the in-house services were rumoured to be the icing on the cake. It was the catering service provider for the crème de la crème of the society. She had often day-dreamed about coming here with her soulmate so she had done her homework on the place. There were three sections or Palette. The first for the average class called the Fillet Palette. The second for the middle class called the Tinsel Palette and the best of them was called the Deluxe Palette, admission to the Tinsel and Deluxe Palette was strictly by membership. Acquiring the gold membership card of the Deluxe Palette cost an arm and leg so only the celebs, politicians and business tycoon could afford it. She wasn’t stunned when he led them to the Deluxe Palette and presented his gold plated card. Watching him run the c
The silence in the Palette was deafening, realising every pair of eyes were trained on her, Tiana slowly untangled herself from the trap, rising to her feet, and turned slowly to see the face of whomever had the temerity to assault her. Fighting with her wolf for control as she assessed her assailant; about sixty, stereotypical, puffed-up, flabby, pot-bellied Nigerian asshole who probably believed every woman could be bought cheaply. Rolling her head slowly from side to side, she gritted her teeth as she slowly lost the battle with her wolf. “Hey sexy…how much?” Her assailant asked licking the corner of his lips. Luna Bella roared in her head and pushed her to the subconscious hearing their assailant spewed those rubbish from his gutter-mouth. She wanted to break his neck but there were too many people watching this show and there was the man she loved, her boss, she didn’t want him to see this side of them. Gauging her assailant with a deathly glare,
So after all the reading done, I feel it’s pertinent I introduce myself. I am Eugenia Amakubukuro, I love traveling, reading and I am sapiosexual. Well, enough of the boring detailsThis is my first book, I’ll love to get your feedback on the review section. Edits has been made to the story, ‘Alpha Tiana: the unknown wolf’ which may not appear in the app.Here are some strange terms, I'll love you to know their meanings.1. Tsauno Werewolf Clan: A fictional Werewolf world. A Clan made up of eight packs, one of the strongest packs in the werewolf history.2. Guardians of Tsauno: These are the protectors and Council members of the Tsauno Werewolf Clan. They are of Alpha bloodline descendants of the defunct packs.3. Clan: This is a group of packs that come into an alliance to be together.4. Kalala: These are the members of the Tsauno Werewolf Clan.5. Chata: This is the Clan House or
The adult members of Tsauno were gathered in the Hall of the Clan House located in the belly of the wild forest, hidden away from the suspicious and questioning glares of humans. Its proximity to the nearest humans abode hundreds of miles away, no human in his right senses would dare venture that far.Tonight was the last day of the month so they’d all assembled as a Clan to deliberate on their results as suggested by Rico when they first got here. Thus, it had become a monthly ritual for them. All the pups below eighteen years were not permitted to be in the Clan House during school session except on special days and holidays, that of course was excluding wolves needing refuge.The Chata was built in a manner replicating what they had back home; large enough to accommodate both members and non-members and there were thousands of rooms for that purpose.A large indoor training room in the Chata for off field
The ridara was unnaturally quiet as everyone ate in silence because their alpha was still unconscious. Staring at Rico, Sameer wondered how he managed to present a calm facade in extreme cases such as this. As a matter of fact, Rico’s calm in difficult cases such as this was why he was loved by Tsauno and the reason many were ready to die with Rico and he, Sameer, was not exempted. “Why are you not blaming me, Rico?” Rico chewed and swallowed the mouthful, he took a sip from his glass of water, gently kept the glass of water on the table,“Because, it’s not what we need right now.” “It’s been seven days and you haven’t said anything about it.” Sameer argued. “That doesn't mean I’m not worried, for wolfsakes…I imprinted on her and between us, we know how that feels… the knowledge of not being able to protect what you swore to protect with your life plus the fact that she’s my mate complicates my entire life.” Rico finished, shoving a spoonful of rice in his mouth. “I’m sorry I too
“I’m Sameer Rudolph.” She heard the head of defense say as he pulled a chair, she failed to notice earlier in front of her. She watched him cross his legs,“Your reputation precedes you, Sir…. Axel Shane, the chief of police.” She continued gruffly turning to face Axel who pulled another chair,“ and Mr Coat, my abductor.” She finished with exaggerated flourish. Looking at the pup sitting before him and her sarky tone, Sameer couldn’t hold himself from laughing. “He has a name you know?” Sameer informed her after composing himself,“His name is Damien, he is a doctor and as matter of fact, the founder of Dams Hospital and Dam Medical Outreach.” Tiana rolled her eyes at the lavish explanation.“Why am I here?” She asked him using her alpha tone. Sameer smiled at her and snapped his fingers, he could see through her fear and for a she-wolf who had no guidance all her life, she was doing a good job at hiding it. Tiana watched Sameer as he reclined in his chair, his face calm and compos
Rico paced the ridara restlessly, muttering inaudibly. Damien was supposed to return four hours ago with his mate but he wasn’t…the exasperating part was that the idiot neither responded to his call nor mind-links. Tara pushed another glass into Rico’s hand with a wide grin. “What?” He snarled at her, noticing the mischief in her smile as he sipped the alcohol, he welcomed the burning in his throat it was the only thing keeping Max and him sane. “Nothing,” Tara replied chuckling,“Just relax, Damien is probably stepping on your nerves.” “And I’ll break his neck when he returns.” He announced, eliciting another roar of laughter from his kalala. “What’s funny?” He demanded, arching his brow. Damien wasn’t here with his mate and they found it funny? “Everything.” Hadiza answered him,“That’s the first word you’ve said since Damien’s announcement that we all understand.” “Really?” He asked her wyrily. He’d been explaining to them, how come they never got it. “Come on, boss” Sameer rep
Tiana a unconsciously glanced at the elevator when it dinged signalling Rico’s arrival and her heart twisted in pain seeing the beautiful Seline looking at him tenderly, it was supposed to be her not Seline. They were the perfect couple. The sad thing was Rico wasn’t committed to her. She blinked as her eyes itched her, three months after their infamous breakup her feelings for him never changed but grew and she understood the saying now more than ever ‘that the heart wants what it can’t have better.’ She could never have him yet her heart yearned to be with him. She ought to be jealous of Seline but she wasn’t. She felt pity for the poor woman who had been nothing but sweet and kind to her. The woman even referred to her as her sister! She just couldn’t hate Seline because they were both guilty of one crime: loving a man who didn’t love them in return. After his apology three months ago, Rico never acted differently to her: keeping his office door open, gawking at her and pretending
Tiana grabbed Rico’s hand as she waited for her turn, he was all the emotional support she desperately needed. The butterflies flapping their wings in her stomach filled her with more dread.Finally, today came! After three whole dreadful months of intense preparation and rehearsals; her thesis defense day. Rico had helped her work through it about two days ago yet she couldn’t help but get nervous at the prospect of facing a panel of unfamiliar faces who would score her based on their perspective of her. Her family had also come with her, in their own car of course.Before they came down from his car, Rico had given her an earpod…he had fixed it for her himself. Insisting that she needed it for his support and so she could be able to hear him in her head. Her friends, Ian and Aubrey finished theirs about three hours ago.“Breathe.” She heard him whisper when her name was announced as the next. She stood up, glancing at him, his slight nod and reassuring smile told her she would do ex
Chapter 35: I Am Too Toxic For You, Pup Tiana parked her car in front of her parent’s house. She planned to return to her apartment by Monday. She had spent a good eight days here. The truth was after her failed attempt at a relationship with Rico she hung out more with her family…practically moved in again but what was she to do? It was her only ticket out of depression. She had told herself after he told her to leave with the damned two letter word that she didn’t care or feel anything towards him, she even resolved to quit working for him but when monday came, she couldn’t stay back…she couldn’t quit. Her wolf still whimpered in her head from time to time but still sought to be with…to see their Rico. When he finally arrived at half past ten that morning: the monday after their breakup it had taken all the ounce of strength in her not to run into his arms. He didn’t say a word to her other than introduce her to one Professor Beredugo and inform her that he would walk her through
The Chata was awfully quiet as they waited for the reason an unscheduled Assembly was called by Matin two hours ago. Everyone who could make it hurried down as soon as they could with many hoping it wasn’t to announce that they had lost their strongholds in the human world: Sameer’s and Axel’s as the Head of Defense and Chief of Police respectively because losing those holds meant without reasonable doubts that they failed as a Clan in achieving their mission in the human world…Rico cleared his throat loudly, drawing everyone’s attention to him but for some reasons he couldn’t fathom he didn’t feel his usual calm or confidence. He didn’t trust himself enough to handle this Assembly. He still felt the wetness at the back of his throat which meant his mate was still bawling her eyes out.Avery heard the silent plea Rico gave her as he took a sip from his glass glancing at her. She’d lost
Needing to take a piss, Rico got out of bed sleepily and headed to the toilet. He threw himself on the bed when he returned from the toilet and groaned as something awfully cold touched his back. He sleepily reached for it so he could toss it away and paused when he felt the coldness of metal against his palm.His eyes snapped open, alertness in them. Sitting up immediately, he rolled over to his side, his vision adjusting to the pitch darkness.“WHAT?!” Max shouted perplexed when they finally saw the intruder…Neither of them could ever mistake what they saw for something else…Before them on a gold pendant that has a circle of seven wolves and a wolf in the centre of the circle, all howling at a full moon. The lone wolf in the centre of the circle represented the Alpha and the seven wolves in the circle were the seven packs that came together to make the Tsauno Lycan Clan. The Tavala! O
Rico gasped when she kissed him full on the lips, his little, shy, naïve mate got bolder with each passing second. He remembered their first kiss vividly when he edged her to open up to him…commanded even. He returned her gentle kisses while his hands roamed her body, he grabbed her breasts roughly but not enough to cause her discomfort. Breaking off the kiss he took each nipple between his thumb and index fingers, stroking them ever gently,“They are beautiful.” “Are they?” “I will tell you if they weren’t.” He replied huskily. Feeling a rush of hot moistness and stickiness trailing down her nectar Tiana moaned loudly. Her nipples stood more erect if they weren’t already at his skillful hands and when she smelt the thickness of their arousal in the room, she inhaled it and revelled in it. She grabbed the sheets and arched her back, her breasts swelling, her nipples tightening in suffocating pleasure as Rico fastened the pace of his stroking.
