EVE
I hurried up and concluded my task in the office so I can go to the lingerie store to get something sexy for myself, I was feeling a bit stiff, so I decided to visit the bathroom and freshen up a bit.
As I walked to the bathroom, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My hair was a bit messy, but I didn't care. I was feeling too good to worry about it. I combed my hair and splashed some cold water on my face, feeling the water droplets run down my cheeks.
The lingerie store was only a few blocks away, so I decided to walk. As I walked, I could feel the sun on my skin, and the breeze in my hair. It was such a beautiful day. When I got to the store, I took a deep breath and walked inside.
The store was filled with rows and rows of beautiful lingerie, from lacy bras to silky panties. I walked up and down the aisles, admiring the different colors and styles. I picked up a few things to try on, feeling the fabrics against my skin. I was in lingerie heaven.
As I browse through the exquisite lingerie collection, I can't help but imagine how Luke would react when he sees me in them. The thought alone sends shivers down my spine, and I can feel my heart racing with excitement.
I pick up a lacy red bralette and hold it up to my chest, admiring how it accentuates my curves. The matching thong looks equally tantalizing, and I can't resist picturing myself wearing it.
I close my eyes and let my imagination run wild, envisioning myself strutting into Luke's apartment wearing nothing but the lingerie. The look of desire on his face as he takes in my alluring figure makes my knees weak.
As I try on the various lingerie sets, I can't help but feel more and more confident in my own skin. The silk and lace feel soft against my skin, and I can't help but run my hands over my body, feeling sexier by the second.
I found a fitting room and tried on a few things, admiring myself in the mirror. I loved the way the lace hugged my curves and the way the silk felt against my skin. I couldn't resist getting a few things, and before I knew it, my arms were full of shopping bags.
I had a nice body, better than Alexis, at least I'm not a stud, I have to do whatever it takes to sign this contract with Luke, he's a billionaire and this man would be of good importance to me, I can't let a straight lady ruin my chances.
As I stood there admiring myself in the mirror, I noticed that the bra I had picked out was slightly too tight. I decided to try on a few more bras to make sure I found the perfect fit. After trying on a few more styles, I finally found the perfect one. It was a lacy black push-up bra that accentuated my curves and made me feel confident.
Next, I turned my attention to finding a matching pair of panties. I browsed through the racks, examining each pair carefully. I finally settled on a pair of black lace thong panties that complemented the bra perfectly.
As I stood in front of the mirror admiring my new lingerie, my mind couldn't help but wander back to work. I knew I had a deadline coming up soon, and I couldn't afford to waste any more time. The thought of work made me anxious, but I quickly pushed it aside and focused on the present moment.
I took a deep breath and examined myself in the mirror once again. I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I looked at my reflection. The lingerie I had picked out was perfect - it hugged my curves in all the right places and made me feel confident and sexy.
As I was getting ready to change back into my clothes, I heard a knock on the door. "Excuse me, miss? Are you ready to check out?" a voice called out.
"Yes, I'll be right out," I responded, quickly changing back into my clothes. I grabbed my old lingerie and stepped out of the dressing room, feeling a bit self-conscious.
The sales assistant greeted me with a smile and began ringing up my purchases. As she did, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. I had promised myself that I wouldn't spend too much money today, but I had gone over my budget. I tried to shake the feeling off and reminded myself that I deserved to treat myself every once in a while.
As I continue to browse through the lingerie selection, I can feel my mind starting to drift away from work and into a more playful state. I try on a few more pieces, admiring how they hug my curves in all the right places. I turn around to examine my behind in the mirror, and that’s when I see him.
He’s standing at the entrance of the dressing room, talking to the store manager. My eyes are drawn to him like a magnet. He’s tall, with broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline. His hair is perfectly styled, and he’s wearing a suit that looks like it was custom-made for him. He looks extremely rich and could possibly be a great investor. I can feel my heart starting to race as I look at him.
I watch him for a few moments, trying to be subtle about it. I can see that he’s looking around the store, his gaze sweeping over the displays. Then, he turns and our eyes meet. My breath catches in my throat as I realize how strikingly handsome he is.
I quickly turn back to the mirror, trying to compose myself. I’m not usually one to get flustered by men, but something about him is different. What if he's a billionaire and I can Carjole him into signing a contract with him, who knows, he might be looking forward to invest, or maybe it’s the way he carries himself, or the intensity in his eyes. Whatever it is, I can’t stop thinking about him.
I couldn't help but stare at him, feeling both embarrassed and intrigued at the same time. I quickly averted my gaze and pretended to focus on the items in front of me. It was then that I noticed that he was holding a few pieces of lingerie in his hands.
Suddenly, a saleswoman approached him with a smile, and I couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation.
"May I help you with anything, sir?" she asked politely.
"Yes, I'm looking for some lingerie for my wife. Something sexy, but not too revealing," he replied with a slight blush on his cheeks.
I couldn't help but smile at his shyness. It was endearing to see a man so concerned about his wife's feelings.
The saleswoman led him to a different section of the store, and I followed them discreetly, trying not to seem too obvious. I couldn't help but feel a bit envious of his wife. What I would give to have a man who cared enough about me to buy me lingerie.
As they browsed through the store, he kept asking questions about different styles and sizes, and the saleswoman was more than happy to assist him. I couldn't help but admire his dedication to finding the perfect gift for his wife.
After a while, he seemed to have found what he was looking for, and he made his way to the checkout counter. As he was about to pay, I couldn't resist the temptation to strike up a conversation.
I must admit that the thought of talking to him made me nervous. I mean, how could I possibly approach a complete stranger and strike up a conversation about his wife's lingerie preferences without sounding creepy? So, I decided to play it cool and observe him from a distance. I couldn't help but notice how meticulously he went through each lingerie piece, examining every lace detail, and checking the size charts. It was clear that he wanted to make sure his wife would be happy with the gift.
As I watched him, I couldn't help but feel drawn to him. There was something about him that made me feel safe, like I could trust him with my deepest secrets. It was crazy, I know, considering we were complete strangers. But there was something in the way he carried himself that made me feel like he was a good person, and something keeps reminding me that he would be a good investor, the last thing I would want is seeing him signing a contract with Alexis.
I continued watching him, hoping to find the perfect opportunity to slip my card into his pocket. And then, it happened. He had picked out a few items and was making his way to the cashier when he suddenly stopped in front of a black lace bra. He examined it closely, and I could see the hint of a smile on his lips.
"Excuse me, miss?" he called out to the salesgirl. "Can I please get this one in a size 34C?"
I couldn't help but smile to myself. He was clearly proud of his purchase and excited to give it to his wife. As he made his way to the cashier, I quickly scribbled my phone number on a piece of paper and slipped it into his pocket, hoping he wouldn't notice.
LUKE
I rolled over in bed, feeling refreshed after my nap. I stretched my arms and legs, took a deep breath, and reached for my phone. I dialed my driver's number, the man I trusted.
"Hey, It's Luke," I said as the call connected. "I need you to do something for me."
"Sure, Mr. Luke," he replied respectfully.
"I need you to take one of the cars and go pick up Eve from her house. I told her earlier that I would send someone to pick her up," I instructed, my voice firm.
"Of course, sir," he replied. "Which car would you like me to take?"
I paused for a moment, considering my options. I had a few high-end cars at my disposal, but I decided on the black Lamborghini. It was sleek and fast, just like I liked it.
"Take the Lamborghini," I said. "And make sure you get there on time.
"Understood, sir," he replied before ending the call.
I leaned back against my pillows, my mind racing with anticipation. I hope Eve brings her red headed friend, she seems nice and intelligent and I'm sure she'll have a lot to offer.
As I waited for my driver to return with Eve and her friend, I got out of bed and headed to the shower. I turned on the water and let it run until it was steaming hot. Then, I stepped into the stall, letting the water wash over me, cleansing me of the day's stresses.
As I lathered up my body with soap, I scrubbed my body vigorously.
I rinsed off, turned off the water, and stepped out of the shower. I grabbed a towel and dried myself off before wrapping it around my waist. I walked over to my closet, where I had already laid out my clothes for the night.
I slipped on a pair of black dress pants and a crisp white shirt. I added a black tie and a matching jacket, then slipped on my shoes. I checked myself out in the mirror, nodding in approval at my reflection.
Then, I grabbed my phone and walked out of my bedroom. I headed downstairs, where I poured myself a glass of scotch. I sipped it slowly, enjoying the taste and the burn as it slid down my throat.
As I waited for my driver return, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. I knew that tonight was going to be special, and I couldn't wait to see where the night would take me.
LUKEI observed Max with a heavy heart as he struggled to control his racing thoughts. I told him earlier about Eve, she would be coming over to my place today with her red headed friend, hoping that he is able to confirm she is indeed his mate. I knew it was difficult for him to accept the fact that he had no recollection of the woman he had slept with the previous night. It was clear that his mind was consumed by a mix of anxiety and frustration.As I pondered how to help Max, I couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. I knew that his problems were not something I could fix, but I still wanted to do something to help him feel better. So, I sat down next to him, trying to offer some comfort.Max's restless movements and his unsteady voice revealed how much he was struggling. He was a powerful alpha, one of the strongest I knew, but even he seemed powerless in the face of his current predicament. I watched as he clenched and unclenched his fists, trying to control his emotions
MAX’S POV I woke up with my mind heavy. This has become quite the usual for me every since that strange night with the strange lady. I can’t stop thinking about her. Coupled with this great puzzle was the fishy amnesia I had about the events of the night. Who would dare to use Midnight Loom on me? Then there was May. May was beautiful, smart, averagely intelligent but frankly speaking boring. It took me a while to even touch her and even then, it was uninteresting and uneventful. I felt sympathy towards her and I really wanted to let her go but she was my Chosen Mate and my pack wouldn’t let me off the hook again this time without being with someone. I sat up from my bed and buried my head in my hands. My mind wandered to that strange event over a month ago as I tried to piece together my memories. I remember clearly going to the venue of the party, meeting up with Luke and then drinking from the glass Penelope handed to me and then waking up naked in my hotel room. Then my room had
The little girl, Jaime walked away from the butterfly towards her mother and then stopped abruptly to stare at me. The woman too shifted her gaze to me. I knew my time of secret observation was over so, I walked up to them both. “A good afternoon to you, Mrs Rhodes,” I paused and then stared at Jaime the added, “Miss Rhodes, my name is Maxwell Moon and I am Mr Rhodes’ lunch guest today.”The woman eyes lit up in recognition as she said, “It’s nice to meet you, Mr Moon. Can I call you Max? Do come in.” The warmth and friendliness in her voice made me know that it wasn’t just John Rhodes who had his kindness. “Can I call you Max too?” Jaime said looking up at me. I got a good look of her upclose and immediately got nostalgia. It felt like I had seen her somewhere before. I bent to my knees and was able to stare at Jaime closer. I said, “Yes, you can if you allow me call you Jam-jam.”Jaime’s face contorted in a large smile. I took in her facial features and tried to remember where I’
I woke the next morning to my alarm clock blaring and my head pounding like someone was hammering down my temples. Hannah was glaring down at me, fully dressed with my arms crossed. I stared around a few minutes, a bit disoriented. I tried to open my mouth to speak but I felt weak to my bones. I tried to speak again and instead began to cough. I sat up quickly still coughing. Hannah went away and reappeared with a glass of water which she handed to me. She sat beside me and patted my back as I drank the water. I emptied the cup in my stomach surprised at how thirsty I was. I wiped my brow and my hands were slick with sweat. I stared at my clothes a bit confused, the air condition was on yet I was sweating.Hannah cleared her throat. She had a serious look on her face, the kind she always assumed when she wanted to say something she felt I might not like. “You have to see a doctor Lexi and you’re calling in sick at work today.”I said, “No, I have tons of things to do at the office.
ALEXIS’ POVI opened my eyes and the brightness of the sun alerted me that it was probably nearly ten o’clock. I took in my surroundings and saw that I was sitting on a plus leather chair with all the upholstery black in a car. The chair was thrown back and I was in a relaxed position. I tried to sit up and felt warm hands guide me up and adjust the car seat. I stared at a face that felt vaguely familiar. He had brown hair, properly styled and gelled away from his face and piercing blue eyes. There was something kind about his eyes and familiar about it. It felt like I could trust him with my deepest, darkest secrets. “Are you alright Miss?”I nodded. “Yes, w-what happened?”He handed me a bottle of water which I opened and finished in one gulp. I stared at the bottle, amazed at how thirsty, I was. He handed me another bottle and I finished it too. “You fainted, Miss. Should I take you to the hospital?”“No!” I shook my head vehemently and fighting another wave of dizziness. What i
Alexis POVI had grown up in this quaint little house with its tinted windows and charming seclusion. The next house was about ten minutes away. The interior of the house was pretty much the same even after all these years, a plush center rug for the table in the middle of the living room, a beautiful fire place, a dinning area, a couple of sofas, and a door that led to the kitchen. There were still the small marks I’d left on the white walls using my crayons all those many years ago. I couldn’t help but smile at the marks. The living room was still decorated with a large dose of my pictures. There was a wall filled with pictures that chronicled my growth from being a baby up until a few months back, the picture I’d taken at my company’s Christmas party last December. Mum had the picture printed and frame and she’d hung it on her collection of memories with me and of me. There was the picture I’d taken when I was eight with Mum. It was still my favourite picture ever. Mum had hugged
MAX’S POVI sat in my office unable to concentrate on work. It was a little past 2pm yet I couldn’t get my conversation with John Rhodes out of my mind.I’d spoken to the private investigator he recommended and I’d scheduled a meeting with him by 3pm. He was also coming with a professional sketch artist, someone who could have a composite sketch of my mystery red haired. My phone beeped and the caller ID revealed that it was my mother. I hadn’t spoken to her in a while so I decided to take the call. “Hi Mum.”“Hello Maxwell. I have to say that it’s been a while. A long while.”My Mum was a woman of few words so she never minced them. She was always direct, precise and straight to the point. She was never one to beat around the bush. I sighed. “I know Mum but I…” I couldn’t go further. How was I to explain the events of the last few weeks to her? Even I was still grappling with these events. I still haven’t unraveled it or understood it myself.“Come home Max. You’ve been away for so
ALEXIS’ POV“Alexis, Alexis, ALEXIS!” I heard Hannah calling my name but I didn’t have the heart to respond. I heard her footsteps as she walked towards my bed and yanked the covers off my body. “You need to get out of bed Lexi. Get up.”I didn’t relent. I took reached down to grab hold of the cover and return them to my body without bothering to look at Hannah. Instead, Hannah grabbed my hands and said, “What’s wrong with you Lexi? You’re scaring me! You’ve been in bed for five days straight barely getting up for anything else except to puke and pee and you’re not even eating. You’re not talking to me and you’re not working too. That’s very unlike you. Please talk to me. I am bothered about you. Your Mum has been calling nonstop and you’re not talking to her too. What is the matter?”I pulled my hands from Hannah’s grip and curled deeper into a myself in a fetal position. After I got out of my Mum’s house a few days ago, I’d called work to use up my leave days and then I’d spent th
AMELIA'S POVI sighed when I woke up; my eyes felt dizzy, and I cleaned my eyes.My eyes met the wall clock, and I froze.What the duck was the time, 11 am?Just now it was 5:30 pm. And I was getting ready to go to the party that was being held at the Liberty house, not after Max had come in and stretched my legs.. making them sore.I stood up, and although my legs felt like jelly, I managed to get up….walking out of the room.I went down the stairs, my eyes looking around for Max.He was seated on the couch with our babies.. in the crib and he was feeding them something from their little bottles."Baby," I called. "Was the party postponed to this evening?" I asked, walking to the couch."You walk beautifully, baby." He mumbled, winking at me."And oh, the party was held last night..you fainted, so you couldn't attend." He said with a serious face.I glared at him, anger rising to my throat.How fucking dare him?! He was the reason I didn't attend. I wanted to.He had fucked me last n
AMELIA'S POVA party was being held in the Liberty House.A week from now, and they'll be signing a peace pact with the hunters.I sighed, watching my little kids in their crib while I dressed for the partyThey were going to stay with Crystabelle at the party.The woman had made them her kids ever since they got back."Look how pretty your mama is; isn't she looking hot for mom today?" I asked, staring at my little peanuts."Oh please...not now; I'm shy when it comes to cameras; please don't..." I paused and chuckled. "or you can eat this shit instead." I leaned down and began to twerk my ass."Yeah! Eat this shit!" I caused twerking."Yeah, I can eat this shit whenever you want." I stilled. My eyes widened as I turned to watch Max leaning on the door.He looked so hot in that signature suit of his and his hair...Fuck! He was a Greek God. He looked smokingly hot as he watched me with those lustful eyes that said so many things.And one was to damn this party and pound me into the m
MAX'S POVThe remaining hunters began to leave, dropping their guns and ammunition as they vowed never to cross the border again.Luke was dead, and so was Analita and some of the wolves and hybrids created by Luke.I stood in front of the car, arms pressed together, as I watched Rick order the men about what to do concerning the ammunition."The war is over." He said, coming to stand beside me."I guess so," I said, a smile forming on my lips."There's nothing to be happy about yet." He said."Shut up, Rick!" I glared at him, as he held out his bandaged arm."Oh...I think it's time to go meet Amelia and fuck her to death. I'm sure she's probably jumping on her bed while carrying her little peanuts." Rick said."You're making me regret the fact of bandaging that arm for you," I said.My phone rang and I picked it up."Baby.""They're home. They were brought to the house as mail. They were mailed to the house." Her voice was brighter than the whole day. Even the sun couldn't compare."
LUKE'S POVMy Men and I surrounded the east part of where the hunters were hiding.Analita and her men surrounded the west, while Max and his men took both the south and the North.After the death of many of their men, the hunters had taken refuge in their mansion, and none was coming out.I signaled one of my men to go through the open door.Another followed, and another followed."We've gotten in, Max," I mumbled to the transducer that was attached to my ears."Okay, Analita will take the other side to go in, and then we will barge in if there's any problem." Based on what we've gone through, using guns on these people was better, but I couldn't wait to shred that animal to pieces.He had tried to convince Eve about betraying me and killing my child. Our child!"And one more thing, Luke. Follow the code; if we lose this change because of you, I'll kill you myself." Max said.I rolled my eyes, Ignoring his grunts as I stepped into the Mansion as well.A bullet flew past me and hit t
LUKE'S POVMy head was banging hard as I drove to the mansion.I had long suspected Eve using me, but I had brushed it off the moment I saw how helpless she was.She was dying, and she was carrying my child. Tears burned the back of my head, blocking my vision as I drove faster.. speeding up till there was nothing in sight.I pulled off at the front of the Mansion, throwing my keys to one of my men."Sir.""Yes?" I looked up, a scowl on my face, as I watched him cower."Talk right this instant!""Doctor Gabrielle came, and she's attending to Miss Eve right now. I was told to let you know about it."I nodded, hurrying inside.No matter how evil she was, I was not going to kill her. She was going to be my baby's mother. I hurried up the stairs, taking three steps at a time, until I was just in front of her door."Is there a problem, doctor?" I asked, looking around as my friend deepened.I didn't like that look at all."There's a problem with Miss Eve, I don't know what she took, but
MAX'S POVI wasn't seeing anything other than red.Red blood clouded my vision as I held onto my sword so tight.I watched my men as they began to prepare to leave for the war.My men at the forefront were doing good. A hundred hunters were dead at the moment, and I would not stop till I was sure my children were fine and brought home.FLASHBACK...I had gone home with Rick to get some things Amelia would use since she was asked to stay in the hospital by the nurses.When I arrived at the hospital, Amelia was asleep, and the children...my children were nowhere to be found.After I had successfully taken out the wolfsbane mixed with sedatives that had been injected into Amelia's body...she woke up."Are you back? I don't know what happened; I just fell asleep out of nowhere." She said, cleaning her face with her hand. Her eyes went to the crib, and she sighed."Who's with the kids? Is it Rick?" The question burned my whole body right into my heart and it was as if...I stopped breathing
AMELIA'S POVWhen I woke up, Max was by my side.He was holding a baby. The baby was very small and I blinked at them.Max holding the baby made me feel a lot more happy than I was supposed to be."Max," I called and he looked up instantly, a smile covering his face."Hey, beautiful.""Hi, Handsome." "See." He leaned down so I could see the baby. "Look at our little Creation." He mumbled.A smile broke off my lips as I stared at the beautiful baby in his arms."A boy and a girl?" I asked, and he nodded."They're so beautiful. Very beautiful." I said and he nodded."And they take after their mother." He said and dropped the baby in the crib."Thank you," I said, sincerely thankful for what he had done.He shook his head."That was nothing." He leaned down and kissed my nose. "Now I know how painful giving birth to a child is, especially an Alpha's kids." He chuckled."You felt it?""I took some of the pain. Of course, I felt it." He said.I felt so tired and sleepy, yet I wanted to be
AMELIA'S POVDon't fret when I tell you that I'm almost due. I was going to give birth to...not just one baby, but twins.Earlier when we had gone for some tests, the doctor convinced us to see our little cutie, but instead...we saw two cuties.I sighed when I brought down my legs from the table.I felt bloated. Like really extremely full.I felt something lick my feet, and I looked up to see Whitney rubbing me with her furs and licking my feet.The first day I arrived in the Homelands after visiting John and Grace and telling Max about our child...he had gotten me a dog, saying in times like these, having a dog was good.I couldn't deny that, because the little puppy that was growing rapidly had become my new friend whenever Max had gone to the office and Crystabelle wasn't coming."What is it, Whitney?" I asked, and it purred."No, stop doing that. I don't want to make chocolate now. I'm so tired, and there's no one here to make that." I whined to Whitney.Compared to humans, wolve
AMELIA'S POVMax's eyes widened, and he stared at me as if I were joking.He shifted until my back was against the table, and then his eyes went to my belly."You're pregnant?" He asked again."Yes, we're having a baby," I said.He chuckled, his eyes meeting mine as he lifted his hand and placed it on my belly."Yes," I said again, as if he didn't hear me. "You're going to be a dad." A deep growl left his throat as he met mine again."We're going to have this one," I said, holding his hand on my belly."We're going to hold this one alive and nothing is going to go wrong," I said.He nodded, like a little child that had been offered the best game in his life."Thank you." He mumbled, pressing a kiss on my cheek."Fuck! I'm going to be a dad. We're going to be parents." He said.I nodded, feeling him place thousands of kisses on my cheek.At this point, my cheek was going to catch fire due to how badly it was burning."Are you okay? You're not supposed to be in this position." He said,
