I blinked--confused and shattered as Martin walked out of the room after silencing me down. I dared not to speak another word, I was too afraid of what might just happen if I argued or fought back. I understood the sudden change in his behaviour, males tend to be more hurt and in fury when their mates reject them and Martin believed that his mate had rejected him.I loosened my fists and released myself from the vexation that was settling at the back of my head. Clearly, Martin didn't deserve a mate but I wasn't going loose myself for him. It took me a moment before I calmed down and sat on the bed I had been given. It was small, the room seemed like a maid's quarter but either way, it could work out for the night.I switched off the lights and dozed into my thoughts that kept me awake during the rest of the night. From a distance, I could hear the chatter of the men, the agonizing laughters that clawed my soul, I despised male wolves for a reason-_especially Alpha's. I twisted and tu
The rotting smell of Alpha David spread in the air quicker than I had expected. I groaned and pushed my hand over my mouth. He definitely smelled disgusting and dead. I spent the rest of the night in worry and in the room where I had killed the Alpha. What was I going to do with all this? Martin wanted to punish me and now, he was just going to kill me and not even be bothered by it.I stole a glance at the body and fell on the floor. This was going to doom me.Escaping wasn't an option, the grounds were covered by Alpha David's men and Martin. They weren't going to let me go even if I begged for it.The only option I had left was to wait for the morning to arrive. Hopefully, someone or the other will help me out of here.The faint chirping and cars honking at each other reached to me and my eyes fluttered open. I had taken a nap on the ground, beside the window and the dead body. I frowned at the scent and stood up, walking towards the door and opening it slightly so I could see who w
"Why can't you shift?" James turned away from the noises and looked at me with concern. There was possibly no explanation for why I couldn't shift except for that I didn't want Martin to notice that I was his mate."I just feel weak, I don't think so I can shift," I responded, nervously."Oh," his expression softened at my response and he nodded his head, "All right, we will take a car then.""But what about Alpha David, he's dead?" I pursed my lips together in confusion. What was he going to do about it? Someone or the other would question Martin if he left without saying anything.James wrapped his fingers around my hand and peeked at the backyard again,"Alpha Martin will take care of it, you don't need to be worried about it, we should leave immediately. Do you have your car keys?" When the coast was clear, we headed there and I quickly pulled out my keys and showed them to James.The two cars were still parked where I had left them. I turned on my engine as James sat beside me. C
To alleviate the boredom and silence, I decided to go through the papers on Martin's desk even though James had warned me. I was a snoopy woman and everyone should've known that by now.The map I had seen earlier was rolled and kept aside, there was another large paper spread out on the desk and my eyes wandered there without a warning.It was a map of a city not broadway but another city nearby. I found it boring so I decided to look away and pick up the old, leatherbound book that seemed to be tearing apart from the inside.As I opened it, I realized, it was a journal-Martin’s journal. I froze and then kept it aside, I couldn't read his journal or anyone's, that was a private. I wouldn't want someone to read mine if I ever wrote anything.A loud, thundering sound echoed through the house and I yelped in fear.Following the thud, there were a few yellings belonging to Martin. He inched closer and continued to shout, splitting the peaceful silence I was enjoying. A key shackled on the
The warm water ran down my body as I showered. I struggled with removing the blood of Alpha David from my body it had stained me-forever. Once clean, I stepped out, dried myself and wore something comfortable. My whole world was whirling since the moment I was caught by the Iron Martin, I wasn't able to think about anything except for survival. I was grateful that Martin had let me live after what I did in bluebleak but a part of me broke when he told me that he didn't want me.Maybe I was expecting something else. Maybe I wanted him to desire me.I rubbed the towel through my wet locks and dropped it aside. The packhouse was quite silent as if all the wolves were gone. It was almost four when someone knocked on my door. I was respected here by everyone except for Martin and John. My stomach churned at the thought of John--at least his paws were off me. "Come in," I said, getting up from the bed.James walked inside the dark room, his eyes wandered around and then landed on me. "I w
The feeling of James's lips against mine was so warming and comforting that I found myself melting in his gentle embrace. I stood on my toes as his large, muscular hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer into the divine forthcoming pleasure. Parting my lips, the tip of his tongue slipped inside my mouth, causing an uproar between my legs and further fueling the animalistic heat.When his lips stopped exploring mine, he pulled back for a breath while holding my face in his hands, "God, you're so beautiful," he mumbled, rubbing my cheeks and giving me a series of shudders.Kissing James and kissing Martin felt completely different. Of course, I had my own fantasies but how could I ever deny a man who was being so gentle with me?I leaned into him while grinding my hips, inviting him to take me. When his lips met mine, we stepped away from the doorway and into the room, taking things further to the bed. Not even for a second, I cared about Martin. He rejected me earlier and we w
The everlasting ache in my body didn't perish after a good night's sleep. I woke up with my insides throbbing and soreness roughly around my stomach. I turned in a different direction and smiled while my eyes were still shut. It was great--the sex was mind-blowing and lovely. There was a little regret, lingering at the back of my head, telling me that I had done wrong by sleeping with someone who wasn't my mate.It was my wolf.A low whimper came out of me as I got up, finally flickering my eyes open to the bright rays of the sun and returning to the real world. The night was over and James was long gone just as I asked him too. Having sex was fine but I couldn't cuddle or sleep with him-that would be just too much.The white sheets were twisted around my bare body, telling me that I had slept quite well. I grabbed my phone from the side table and decided to call Sarah, she must've been wondering where I went or what happened to me. My apartment was cleared as James had gotten all my
"No," I tried to yank my phone away from Martin but pushed me back and accepted the call. I almost forgot that I was his prisoner and all my phone calls were recorded. This was blunt kidnapping now. He couldn't keep me like this or have control over everything Idid."Oh, hello there, Sarah." Martin said, clenching his jaw. He was up to no good and I could detect that through his playful tone. Whatever he was up to wasn't going to lead to any good."Oh, me? I'm Martin, and Clara here is our little friend. Don't worry, she's perfectly fine here. You should come here to see it for yourself," he suggested, a cocky smile appearing on his lips.I stepped forward but he slapped away my wrist and moved back, further away my wrist and moved back, further away from me. I eyed him with cold triumph.His suggestions were horrible and I hoped-from all of my heart that Sarah wouldn't act and come here to see me."Of course, I will send you the location, see you soon, Sarah!" Martin exclaimed, his t
