Naya's POV I have been walking on eggshells around Erus and I know why, even though I don't like the reason. He has been the only man I have ever been with, hell I haven't ever kissed another man before. He was my first everything and he also traumatized me, that means that all I have been doing is thinking about him, the same person that wanted to kill me and my daughter. I've been trying to build a wall between Erus and I, because even if I would like to deny it, I'm still attracted to the devil. He doesn't like me, he is my biggest bully, and all I want to do is fuck him. Isn't something wrong with me? Forget the mate bond, this has got to be some kind of Stockholm syndrome. His lips are crashing against mine, and even though I want to push him away, I find myself holding on to him. I want him, just want as much as he wants me. “Tell me,” he breathes through our heavy kissing session, “tell me if another man has touched you before, so that I can have him killed for touching
Erus' POV I walk out of the house and that's one of the hardest things that I have ever made myself do. My dick is so hard that it aches and I can't help but be mad at myself for this. I should have stayed back, I shouldn't have tormented her the way I did. She has a massive ego, both of us do, and I guess mine is bigger, because I wanted to punish her. She keeps calling me a bully, and I wanted to prove to her that I indeed was one. I walk into my car and shut the door after me. “Fuck!” I hit the steering wheel. She has no idea what she is doing to me. She has no idea that I want to loop all of time into an hour and just fuck her over and over again. Why am I still obsessed with Naya? I could have hundreds of women, but I can't bring myself to forget about her. For seven years, I have been obsessed with her. Imagine the sheer strength it took to walk away from her, knowing that I wanted to do at that moment was to fuck her. It's raining, I'm sitting in my car and looking a
Naya's POV I walk into the hospital with my heart in my mother. The weekend has gone by, and I haven't gotten over the fact that Nurse Veronica slapped me. To be honest, I haven't gotten over many things too. Erus too, I haven't gotten over him. He kissed me. Not only that, he did more than kiss me. I don't know which was worse, the fact that he did things to me, or the fact that I liked it….If he hadn't pulled away, I would have allowed him to even take things further, I would have allowed him– even when my child was asleep in her room, just upstairs. What's wrong with me? Why am I kissing him after everything he did to me seven years ago? He thinks that I'm still his wife, and thus, I still belong to him. I am going to avoid him from now on. I won't allow him come close to me. I don't trust him, and I don't trust myself. I walk into the hospital, determined to have a very good day today. When I get into the hospital, I sight one of my colleagues talking to the receptionist.
Naya's POV The next week has been very hellish for me. I consider myself to be very resilient and unbendable under extreme degree of stress, but Veronica has broken me. After another exhausting and humiliating shift, I drag myself to the bathroom and when I see the eyes of my reflection in the mirror, I burst into tears. This is not what I moved back to Moonclaw for. I chose this city and this hospital because it was going to give me more purpose.Not to be a scapegoat for the terrible witch that is called Nurse Veronica. After I have put myself together and get into my car, I drive back home. I am a little bit late, Jordan is already in the house with Erus.I'm right, his car is right in the front. Tracy agreed to watch Jordan when I work late, she brings Jordan home on days when Erus is supposed to come and see her. I'm glad that she never confronted me about the Alpha being my baby daddy. To be honest, I don't even want to get into it either…I get out of my car and there are
73. Naya's POV I go back to work with a new determination in my heart. I am tired of whatever this nonsense is with nurse Veronica. I decide that because of the respect I have for chief Baron, I will speak to him before I allow the less appealing side of me out. I get to work early and I take the elevator straight to his office. He is having a consultation with a big client in his office, so I wait outside for almost an hour. It's worth the wait though, I don't care that I'm late for work, I cross my legs and wait for him to be free. Once the client steps out of the door, I make my way into his office. His eyes widen as he sees me. “Miss Woods, what a surprise? I was just about to go out for a meeting…”“Then I guess I have met you at the perfect time, as I have something very important to discuss with you.” I say. “Is this about the Matron? Naya, I already told you that you should speak to her. I can't bring myself to be suddenly inserted into women's talk, I don't want that.”
74. Erus' POV She is staring at me, as if she wants to kill me for just showing up at her work place. The other senior nurse is on her knees, bowing to me, but not Naya. She is stubborn like that. It doesn't take more than two minutes for the whole room to be filled up with people. Even the chief resident, Doctor Baron, shows up. “Alpha Erus!” he says with delight. “We didn't know that you would be coming to the hospital today!” He is speaking to me, but I'm not listening to him. My eyes are locked with Naya's. “Miss Woods, I know that you are new around town, but this is the Alpha and we bow as soon as we see him.” “What are you doing here?” Naya asks me. Everyone is perplexed, surely she is not speaking to me like that. “What's your name?” I ask. “Her name is Naya Woods, sir, and I apologize on her bad behavior, I will teach her a lesson for disrespecting you–” “Not her, the lady kneeling on the ground. What's her name?” I ask. The nurse raises her head slightly, she loo
Naya's POV What the fuck is wrong with Erus? He bought the hospital?! “Why did you buy the hospital?! Why can't you have anything?!” I pull my face. “You are a very ungrateful girl, Naya. To say I'm disappointed would be a total understatement.” He says. “I didn't ask you to do this! I had one mental breakdown and went ahead and pulled the entire carpet from underneath me!” I stand in front of him, preventing him from getting into the elevator. I am going to pretend that I don't see the nurses and doctors looking at us from the corner. Why would I care? He has ruined my life already! They will never look at me the same way again! “Get out of my way, Naya.” He sighs. “No, Erus, I won't get out of your way.” I sneer. “You think you can get away after what you did? You just bought the hospital, fired my boss, and acted like you're a superhero or something.” “I'm not kidding, Naya.” “Fuck you.” I curse at him. “Watch your mouth, my love. That's not very wifely. Now, move out
Erus' POV She looks more pissed than she has ever done and that makes a part of me very happy. She wanted to keep our marriage a secret, but I went into her workplace to tell everyone that we are married, but I don't care. Seeing her swelling with anger, that's just chef kiss to me. I get back to the house and Brandon is waiting for me by the gate. He looks so relieved to see me. “Good morning, Alpha, I looked everywhere for you, but I didn't see you.” He walks towards me, taking the jacket I take off and throw in his direction. “I had to run a quick errand, Brandon. Are we all set to head to the airport now?” I ask him. “Just as soon as you have your quick meeting with Mister Donald.” I stop and frown at him. I want to go off at him for schedule my meeting on the same day that I'm supposed to travel out, but then I remember that I was the one who moved the meeting a couple of times. “I see.” I murmur. “Move it. I have other better things to do today.” This would make it t
Naya's POV Suddenly, Debbie, the pondering peacock tucks her feathers between her legs. Did Devon just say that he bought the entire street? I know that he is rich, but this is on another level entirely! Debby turns white in the face, but she laughs it off and pushes her hair away from her face. “Sorry, Mister, but I think that you have been mistaken. I mean, I know Devon Greene, he is my husband's business partner. We were supposed to host him like two days ago, but he cancelled due to a personal problem.” “Yeah, I was supposed to be hosted by you and your husband, but…” Devon glances at Sherry. “Her tummy was aching and I had to nurse her.” Sherry huffs, Debby looks like she wishes the ground open her and swallow her. This is the biggest face slap I have ever seen, that Sherry slaved all day only to have her effort wasted because Devon chose to make a hot water bottle for Sherry! “I'm sorry, but this has got to be a big mistake.” Debby laughs, she refuses to believe. “Sherr
Naya's POV Sherry is a very resourceful girl. She runs a couple of businesses and one of them is the jewelry store she has in the middle of the city. I have been there a few times. Late at night, blinds are drawn to keep my privacy. Today is one of those days for me, and I'm helping to unpack everything that she just restocked. “I've been selling so much that my sister and I are thinking about opening another store.” She holds a diamond bracelet. “These are very nice.” I hold a blood red earring against my earlobe. “You want that?” She looks at me. “You can take it.” “What? No!” I put it away immediately. “I haven't worn everything that you have given me already.” “I'm going to get Jordan this beautiful necklace, but they don't have it yet.” Sherry mutters to herself as she works. I smile. She is so cute, she is so much in love with Jordan, I just know that she is going to be a good mother. The doorbell rings and we both raise our heads. The shop is supposed to be closed, ca
Erus' POV She is trying to avoid eye contact, she is also shaking so much that the juice is spilling from her hand. That's how scared she is. Yeah, I killed the foolish rogue that tried to touch her yesterday, but she looks like she still suffers from that encounter. “Are you hurt, Naya?” I ask her. “No, I'm fine.” She sighs. “You know that I don't like when you lie. Or steal.” She glares at me. “Yeah, I don't want to talk about that.” “Yeah, let's not.” I fold my hands. “Else you get angry and drive off wrecking my favourite car and almost getting yourself killed.” She rolls her eyes at me. “Hey, don't roll your eyes at me.” “I just want to go home, okay? Jordan would be worried about me. Just… give me a car key or something.” “A car key?” I huff. “You will never drive another car in your freaking life.” ****I cancel anything I am supposed to have for the next three hours, and now, I have to drive Naya back home by myself. We don't speak to each other, not even when sh
Naya's POV Her reminder of the traumatic events of hours ago weakens my knees and I immediately grip the wall. I can't go through the door anymore, I have this sense that the rogues are going to grab me. The last time I was this scared was when Luna Bloodton asked the servants to kill Jordan and I. Gwen sees me shaking against the wall, but she just smiles and raises her eyes to the door. “Servants, prepare some coffee for us.Miss Woods won't be leaving anymore ..” *****My left leg is shaking under the table, and I am biting my lower lip. Gwen looks so unbothered, she is sipping her coffee in a very chick manner. “This is your doing, Naya.” She sighs as she drops her cup. “Excuse me?” “We have never had this much trouble with the rogues until now. Surely there is something that you haven't told us yet. What did you do?” My eyebrows furrow. “What did I do? I don't even know anything about the rogues, I don't even know what they want from me.” “You should stop lying, Naya.
Naya's POV I don't know how long I have been out for, but when I wake up, my nose gets hit with a sharp aseptic smell. I try to open my eyes and immediately feel the needles of pain go through me. I can't move myself, I am in too much pain. I'm supposed to be in a hospital, at least that's what it smells like, but this room is too fancy to be a hospital. Not even the most luxurious one. I hear heels clicking around, I feel someone's warm breath on my face. “She is a pretty girl, I must say, but she is dumb.” A strange woman mutters. “Don't call her dumb, sister.” Erus' voice replies. “It was an accident, and she is fine.” “You are speaking as if the accident is the worst thing that she has done. All this girl has done since she married into this family is to bring trouble to us! She is soiling the Bloodton name and this pack!” Surely this has got to be a psychotic nightmare. Erus doesn't have a sister, and she doesn't hate me so much. I thankfully can't open my eyes, and I ju
Naya's POV I'm so desperate that I get down on my knees and crawl as close as I can to the gate. Yes, I am that determined. It's a fair distance and my entire body is on fire and I'm covered in sweat when I get there. I see Erus from behind the bush I am hiding, and he speaks to the guards at the gate. They say something to him, then he growls and starts to walk towards the house. I wait for him to leave before I stand up to my feet and push my hair away from my face. The guards are startled to see me, but they bow down and won't meet the gaze of my eyes. “Mistress, good evening. Is there something you want us to do for you?” I look over my shoulder. “What did Erus – I mean, the alpha, what did he say.” “He was just asking if you left the house in the morning. We only told him that you are still inside.”Good. I stretch out my hand. “Give me the key to his car.” Their eyes widens. “But Mistress, he is looking for you in the house.” “Stop arguing with me and give me the damn
Erus’ POV Devon laughs, and I have never wanted to hit someone like I do right now. He turns back around, his eyes wrinkled as he laughs and laughs in my fucking face. “You think that I am interested in your wife? I mean, she is beautiful and all, but that's stupid that you think I would want to get with your mate.” Devon says. “Oh, your charm doesn't fool me at all, Fields.” I mutter. “Get any closer to Naya, and I will break every bone in your body.” Devon stops, but he still has a smile on his face. He doesn't even feel a little bit scared by any of my threats. “Days ago, Naya was in my store to do some shopping.” He says. “Wait, I'm just being nice, she wasn't shopping, she was stealing from me.” My heart drops into my stomach. “That's not true. Naya isn't a thief.” “She is my friend, I wouldn't call her a thief, but she did try to steal alcohol from me. I let her go without telling you, but since you think I am interested in her, there you go.” My fists clench. I am abou
Erus' POV Coming back from the neighboring country of Aldonia, and heading straight to the office when I know that I want to go and check up on my wife and daughter, has got to be the most frustrating thing ever. I haven't seen them in two weeks, and it's taking a toll on me…I wasn't like this. I used to travel for months and I never felt bothered at all, but now Jordan has changed my life. I have bought her an insane amount of toys again, even when Naya told me that it was a bad idea before. I have to find a way to expand Jordan's play room…Brandon looks at his iPad and then turns to me. The meeting with Devon Fields is today, sir. “Devon Fields?! He is still in my city?” I mutter. “Turns out that he is, sir.” Brandon adjusts his glasses. “He has been waiting for weeks for you to be available to see him.” I snort with disapproval as I look out of the window. I have an unaddressed grudge against Devon, and the only reason why I haven't killed him is because he is the son of A
Naya's POV Shame sinks it's teeth into me and drags me to the depth of hell. Devon doesn't look so judgemental, but God, I feel so ashamed. I shouldn't have taken the chance by coming to his business in the first place. I grimace and push my fake hair away from my face. With embarrassment, I slowly raise my hand and wave at him. “Hi,” He pulls a chair and sits down with on, as if he was one of us when we committed the crime. “So, what's this?” He asks. “You are trying to get in trouble my stealing liquor.”“We will pay for it, we promise.” Sherry says. “You can hold her hostage, I will go and get the money from the car.” “No, I don't want your money. You want all the liquor here, you can take it, I just want to know why you both turned into petty thieves.” Okay, now he sounds like the principal, and I don't like it at all. “What would Erus have to say about this?” He looks at me, before moving his eyes. “And you too. What's your father going to say about this?” Sherry sudden
