ALEXANDERI sniff the air, my brows furrowing at the smell of arousal mixed with Eleanor's scent. 'Aphrosidiac!' Loki rumbles and sends a furious growl to reverberate in my chest. "Eleanor. Why do you--" Eleanor's head drops on my shoulder as I turn to examine her face.Her cheeks blushed red, her eyes clenched and her mouth releasing soft, breathy moans, making me lick my lips and think of devouring her top to bottom."Alpha, is everything alright?" The driver asks, peering at our reflection on the front-view mirror."No, keep driving. Fast." I ordered.He nodded before stepping on the gas.I held Eleanor in my arms, watching her pant as she tried to take off all her clothes, shifting into several positions in her seat. "A-Alex.." She reaches for my cheek but I caught her hand, shaking my head at her."Eleanor you have to endure it. We're almost home," I tell her but her ears seemed closed. She wasn't hearing anything I was saying to her, and I stopped trying to reach for her unde
ELEANOR It hurts. My head hurts. I groan, slowly turning my body over before prying my eyes open to a blinding light of warm, golden sunlight slipping through the gap of gray black out curtains facing me. I whimper as my body feels like it's been run over by a truck, and I couldn't move a damn muscle. I feel paralyzed and well, like shit. Literally. My stomach heaves and I close my eyes again for a moment, battling an uninvited nausea as I try to recall what on earth had transpired last night. Even through the shooting pain that sends a throbbing ache all over me, wrapping my body whole like a disease that has infiltrated my blood without much of a warning. My brows furrow as images from last night begin to flood my mind like a massive, rising wave about to splash over me. "Eleanor..." Alexander's dangerously sexy, husky voice being whispered into my ear was the next thing that that filled my mind momentarily, echoing through my mental walls as I tune in to the seductive tone in h
ELEANORAlexander wipes away my tears as he gives me a confused look.I smile at him, shaking my head as if nothing happened. I drop my eyes to my lower body before glancing up at his handsome face. His platinum blonde hair all messed up however it did nothing to compromise his deathly handsome appearance.I gulp before parting my lips, feeling his intense gaze on me, most especially my body sticking out in his room, half-naked. My cheeks flushed red, and I turn my head to the side, averting my eyes from his knowing I wouldn’t be able to hold his stare for too long.“C-Can I ask you something?”“I’m all ears, princess” He says softly, staring down at me while I twirl my hair around my finger nervously.“Did something happen between us... last night?” I ask bashfully, completely ignoring his gaze penetrating me to the core.For a moment, he didn’t say a word, and I began to wonder whether he heard me or not.I hear him chuckle lightly before he said, “If you’re worried about that, then
ELEANOR I stared up at him. Heat burning across my skin as though fire was spreading right through me, brought by the intensity of his lust-filled gaze. Dropping my eyes to the tiled floor, I bit my lower lip. Hesitant and afraid to meet his stare head on when my heart still can’t stop beating wildly at the moment. His face shooting me a scrutinizing look probably because I have made it too clear I craved for him, truthfully. Shit. I gulped. If this was my imagination, I would have slapped myself across the face without pouring another damn thought. "Is something wrong?" The confusion showing in his face escalated into worry. Brows furrowing at my expense. I shook my head, forcing my eyes to gaze into him before allowing a small, innocent smile that’s crept up my face. He uses his fingers to hold my chin up, and I swept my gaze across the floor towards his impeccably handsome features. His piercing blue eyes staring down at me with pure, evident lust. “I-I gotta take a shower,” I
37 VERONYKA A day after the Royal Winder’s dinner, I sit at the table across Elijah. He cleared his throat before munching down on his extra-large burrito. who seem to have a problem with me since the guy had been avoiding me since that day he followed me into the forest. As much as I wanted to shield my eyes from his blinding charisma oozing off him this moment, apparently I still am that same lazy badass Veronyka who does not bow her head down to anybody nor shy away from any man even if they strip themselves naked in front of me, especially if it was Elijah. The thought suddenly made me shiver. Not long after, I felt an intense heat burn across my skin. My face flushed and it subsequently forced me to rip my gaze off his wide, bulky chest. I squeezed my legs together while desperately trying to take an inappropriate image out of my mind. It had popped into my brain not too longer after I fixed my eyes on his annoyingly handsome face. His eyes, his lips. The way his muscles flexe
ELIJAH FLASHBACKI ran tirelessly for hours. I wasn’t sure just how much time it took for me to explore the entire territory on my own, though I was certain it took me a hella long time to cool off. I was still standing in the middle of the forest, naked after my wolf took over my body completely. All my clothes were ripped off due to the sudden, unexpected shift. Well, that was a first. North wasn’t always this grumpy and needy for one. ‘Fuck you, Elijah’ I sighed. My wolf wouldn’t stop cursing me and calling me a ’son of a b*tch’ since I told our mate to run. He hated me for not taking what was rightfully ours. And he might not believe me but I hate myself too. I shrugged, deciding that I wouldn’t argue with him just this one time. I wouldn’t blame him to be honest. After all, I have been holding him back for the past four years. ‘I told you North. That girl is off-limits.’ I point out to him. Promptly reminding him the number one rule I established ever since I could remember.
ELEANOR Three days. Three whole days had passed since the shower incident I had with Alex. That day, he walked out of the shower room. Smiling all while he was telling me he understood why I kind of rejected him. He had given me the chance to enjoy my own privacy though. But why was it that all of a sudden, the hot shower felt…freezing cold? He left me there to be at peace with myself, but ironically, how I felt while I was alone in there was the exact opposite of peace. It was horrible. I felt horrible. Like I was the most unfortunate person to be cursed in this werewolf world. To be the ultimate, complete and total freak of the pack, the wolf-less freak at that. To be discarded like a piece of useless garbage by my own parents. Just so I could fulfill a certain goal I was set to achieve since that fateful night. Right after I turned out to be the cursed blood wolf. And as if that was not bad enough, I was forced to live with a man I can never be with regardless of whether he is m
40 ALEXANDER “Miiiikkkkkkeeeeeee…” The man flinched, instantly turning around towards the source of that sudden whisper. Nothing. Darkness occupied every inch of space in his surroundings. The only thing aiding him to see his path was the little flashlight His brows furrowed, hands and knees visibly trembling as he spun around to face the front once again. Fuck. The thing was right in front of him all along. Hiding in the pitch-black corner where… “AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Okay, that’s it. Closing my eyes firmly shut, I gripped the edges of my seat, desperately trying to tune out the piercing screams forcing their way into my eardrums. I give up. I knew this was a bad idea, but my wolf insisted on it. Saying girls like watching horror stuff. For what? I forced my eyes open to the ridiculous long-haired old woman wearing a long, dirty wedding dress covered with blood. All of a sudden, someone nudged my arm and I flinch back to my seat, only slightly. I turned my head
