NATALIE“ Are you serious? ” Anne hisses.“ Yes. I am damn serious. ” I nod my head.She sighs, followed by Giana who has similar dejected expressions displayed on her face right now.This satisfies me.I open the car’s door and step down.“ I am going home. ” I tell no one in general, but still expect that these two idiots heard me.“ At least take a bath before going home. ” Giana is quick to get out and suggest.My feet freeze on their spot. The stickiness in my panties is still so fresh. And I smell like walking sex.If I go home like this, my Mom and Dad will definitely kill me this time.I press my lips in a thin line and turn around to face Giana.“ Don’t expect me to forgive you just because you are nice to me. ” I remind her.Anne comes out of the car and gives me a serious look. “ We won’t take advantage of this situation to make you forgive us. ”I look down and then nod my head. Without waiting for a moment longer, Anne leaps out and grabs my wrist before dragging me to t
NATALIE“ It’s your Mom. ” Anne informs me from over the kitchen.I look over my shoulder and find her holding the phone at some distance from her ear while she informs me about my mother’s call.“ She wants me to come home? ” I question from the living room.“ Yes. ” Anne nods her head.Her eyes tell another story. She doesn’t want me to go back to that house.“ Okay. Tell her I am coming. ” I turn back around and face Giana who is sitting on the sofa opposite mine.“ We will drop her off in half an hour Mrs. Whitman. ” Anne tells Mom monotonically.“ Okay. Sure. ” She hangs up on the call and comes to sit beside me.I pull my legs up and place my chin over my knee. A sigh leaves my lips.“ Don’t worry. I will ask someone to look into this man. Text me the number he used to call you when you get hold of your phone. ” Giana says.I nod my head. I have told them everything. From his visit to my room, to his call and then him finding me in the forest. I have conveniently hid the fact th
NATALIEI lower my gaze instantly and attempt to walk past him when my senses kick in.“ Can’t even say hi to me? ” He mocks.My feet come to an abrupt halt. I turn around to face him.Pangs of hurt hit my heart when I peek in his shimmering brown eyes. I unwrap my arms from around myself and drop my hands by my side before curling them into fists.“ What do you…want? ” It’s hard to talk.I don’t know what I am supposed to say to him.“ Do you need it so bad for me to want something from you? ” He smiles at me.My breath hitches in my throat. I grit my teeth.He takes a step forward. I take one back cautiously.I have never noticed this monstrous look in his eyes before. Or maybe, I simply ignored the red flags.“ Isn’t it better that you know everything now? I don’t need to lie to you anymore. ” His voice lowers.Goosebumps rise over my body. An alarm goes off in my head, informing me about something I can’t comprehend right now.“ I can still take care of you. No one from this pack
RYKER“ You smell like another man. ” I growl.This bond makes me possessive towards her. I can’t tolerate any other man coming anywhere near her. And her smelling like another man is absolutely unacceptable.“ I collided with someone on my way home. ” Natalie replies diplomatically.Placing my hands by my sides, I stretch my body. My eyes observe her nervous figure keenly.She is not lying. But she is not telling me the truth either. Silence prolongs between us. And it visibly makes her uncomfortable. A while ago, I felt her troublesome emotions again. It felt like she was in danger. That’s why I had to leave my pack in the middle of the night and come all the way to check up on her.She can’t stay put for some hours. She has gotten herself involved in some kind of messed up situation too many times in a single day.“ I am tired. ” She whispers when I don’t say anything.I blink and focus on her petite frame. My faint scent is still rubbed off on her body.I smirk and open my mouth
RYKERI pinch her nipple hard. She lets out a pained hiss and her eyes shoot up to meet mine.“ Aww. Did that hurt, baby love? ” My lips curve up to form — what might look like — an evil smirk to her. She sniffs, her eyes welling with tears. I get my hand out of her shirt and place it over her cheek, caressing the milky softness. Her lips pucker out in protest.“ If I find out that you have even…” My face inches close to hers. “ …collided with any other man again, it will hurt a lot. I promise. ” She sniffs again. Her dread and tears filled eyes stare back at me. “ Do you understand, love? ” I inquire in a throaty voice.She nods her head fervently. Her glassy wide eyes watch me closely.My eyebrows pinch together at her response. I place my thumb against her pouting lips.“ Use this pretty mouth. ” I whisper.My eyes move to her slightly swollen lips. My thumb presses against the opening of her lips and she unconsciously gasps, letting my thumb slide in. My eyes rise to her surpr
NATALIEHe is hovering above me, his lips kissing my neck as he thrusts in and out of me at an animalistic pace.My breathless moans fill the whole space of the unrecognisable room. There are mirrors all around and just like he can see every inch of me, I can now see all of him too.This makes the experience so much more sensual. The pleasure drives me crazy and the small jolts of electricity I feel every time he thrusts in, threaten to send me over the edge.“ Ryker…” I moan his name.The scene dissolves into darkness. I blink my eyes open and instantly feel wet between my thighs.“ What the fuck…is wrong with me? ” I sigh to myself as I stare at the ceiling of my gloomy room.The birds chirping outside give the hint that it’s early morning and I, as the useless addition of this pack has nothing to do.I take a deep breath and rub my thighs together to get rid of the ache.Seven days have passed since I last saw or even talked to Ryker. The number he used to call me is always unreach
NATALIEI blink my eyes in shock. My cheeks heat up.“ Don’t scare me by taking that Alpha’s name again and again. Do you really want me to turn out to be his mate? Do you want him to squeeze my neck and kill me? ” I mutter and swallow.My hand unconsciously reaches out to my precious neck. No doubt my life is fucking hilarious, but I don’t want to die.Giana chuckles on the other side. “ I was only scaring you, idiot. You will never be mated to him. ” I shake my head and lie down on the bed. For a moment, my heart almost broke out of my ribcage.“ You are too good to be someone’s second chance mate. Moon Goddess won’t do this to you. You have suffered enough. I am sure she has something great in store for you. ” She assures me, her voice turning soft.She must have heard my rapid heartbeat. “ If you find out anything…” I trail off.“ I will let you know. Anne and I are going with our families. So bye! I need to get ready. ” She says it all in one breath and hangs up the call.Unlik
NATALIEIn the end, I had to come to the Alpha’s Villa. It is decorated in white and Gold, the royal kind of setting.I am wearing a Golden dress to match the theme. It is an off shoulder gown which reveals my collar bones and arms. I had to apply an extra layer of concealer to hide the mate mark. I am still shocked about something. For the first time in the last three years, my Mom brought me a dress so excitedly.There is a constant smile playing on the lips of each member of my family. They all look relieved, satisfied, happy and they are not doing anything to hide it.Why? I can’t really understand it.My palms are sweating. I have to rub them with the sparkly dress’ edges multiple times to get rid of the stickiness.I am now standing in the hall, in the most hidden corner where I hope no one finds me. People are too busy to pay me attention. They are all dressed in the finest clothes. The sparkle and shimmer can blind anyone momentarily unlike me who is nervous out of her mind.
