Naya's POV Three days, that's how long it took for Sherry to turn me into a classic whore. It's hard for Sherry, because she has to verbally instruct and describe everything for me. It's cringy for me, but I try my best and I think I have done my best. The day that Erus is supposed to come back, I wake up very early in the morning and take a two hour bath, the longest I have ever had in my life. I wash every inch and corner of my body and make sure my hair is in the best shape it has been. I remove every hair from my legs, arms, and by privates. I don't know what Erus' preference is, but Sherry said men usually like it when women aren't hairy like a wild animal. After everything, I go through the closest and find myself in two outfits. One that I am going to wear during the day, and another when he comes back at night– more intimate and appealing for him. I go downstairs to see the servants working, cleaning every corner of the house. Turns out that I'm not the only one who is
Erus' POV It's a fifteen hours flight and all I want is just to go to bed. Imagine my surprise when I find my young wife sleeping with her head on the dining table. Naya. I have been thinking about her since the moment that I traveled weeks ago. The last time I saw her was about two weeks ago, after our wedding night. I don't know who told her that it's a good idea to stay awake around this ungodly hour, but I tell her to go to bed. I see her face fall, but I don't care. She shouldn't be awake, I know it's because of me, but I don't want that. “We have taken your stuff up to the room,” my driver, Jeff, says. “Thank you,” I nod as I go upstairs. I am undoing my cuffs. The first thing I do when I get into the room is to jump into the shower. The water feels great, I am so glad to be back home for a few days of rest. I don't check on my mum, because I know that she is going to be asleep by now. I put on my pajama pants and without a shirt, I go to sleep. I have a weird sleeping
Naya's POV His eyes turn dark with anger and he is looking at me as if he wants to kill me. His hands are firmly around my waist, but I still won't move. This is my plan and if he doesn't accept my request, we are going to be here for a long time. I know he is close to coming, Sherry described it would be like for a man when he is just about to get to climax and all the signs are being displayed by Erus. He looks very mad at me right now and I know that he can overpower me and take what he wants, but where is the fun in that? “Is this a joke, Naya?” He asks, blowing out hot air. “Tell me that I can keep my name,” I repeat myself. “that I will remain Naya Woods for as long as I remain in your house and am your wife.” He shuts his eyes and grimaces from the frustration. It is funny to see the alpha in this situation, it's kind of pleasuring to have such a strong man under my thumb. “You have no idea what you are doing, Naya–” I shut him up by moving a little and stopping almost
Naya's POV I am so happy that I have Erus on my side now. I can manipulate his mother by making her think I am the most faithful wife, and I can also have Erus under my thumb. That's the only way that this house can be tolerable for me. Until I am able to get out of here. I left my bedroom today with a very happy smile on my face. Fillipia smiles when I greet her and she allows me to help her make breakfast for Erus. If I thought that Luna Bloodton was picky with her food, Erus is ten times worse. Fillipia works with breath stilling precision and after she is done, she wipes the corner of the plates with great care. All this to prepare a meal for Erus that there is a seventy percent chance that he might not eat. If he rejects the food, they will return it to the kitchen and decide on who is going to eat it. Then they will go through the same process again in the evening… She pours a cup of expensive tea. Tea that cost more than my mother's yearly income. She tells me how t
Erus' POV I know that Naya will leave my room and cry and cry about what I have said to her, but I don't feel sorry for her. She has started to become too comfortable and I am not alright with that. The fact that she and I somehow got entangled into a mate bond doesn't mean shit to me. She is still a third class citizen in my city and it's annoying enough to be associated with her. What's the saying? No amount of water can make a pig clean enough to be king. Just after she has left, Fillipia knock on my door and comes in. She knows what she has done, so she immediately falls to her knees with her hands clasps in front of her. “Alpha, I am gravely sorry. Your wife, she–” “Naya.” I correct her with a growl. “Naya,” she nods as she takes the correction. “She insisted on helping and I was sure that she is just excited to be of service to you, just like any of us. I should have sought proper permission first. I apologize, my lord.” I don't look at her, I am glued to the scr
Naya's POV I go through my stuff and turn my room upside down. I can't find my phone. I know that Luna Bloodton is very nosy, but I hid it very well and can't believe that someone has taken my phone, my most priced possession. I am tempted to confront Luna Bloodton about it, but I know that no matter how gentle I am about it, I will get into trouble. Gosh, what am I going to do? Those small midnight chats with Sherry are what keeps me sane in this hell of a place. I go downstairs and I see Fillipia. She seize her breath and holds contact with me. “Miss Naya, good morning, is there anything you want?” She asks with an odd tone. She has been odd since I took breakfast to Erus and he rejected it. I am sure that she got into trouble. “Um, did anyone go into my room? Maybe when I was in the shower?” I point behind me. She shakes her head even before I am done. “Except Mary, who cleans your room every morning, but you were there when she was cleaning the room…” Fillipia say
Erus' POV I step into the hall, the meeting is going to end in a few minutes and I canceled a few meetings to catch up with this. “All rise to salute the Alpha!” Everyone stands up and bows to me. I walk to the stage and sit next to Naya and my mother, both of them have the leisure of not bowing down like the others, they only stand and sit after I have.I am seated next to Naya, her hands are clasped in front of her and her eyes are looking straight ahead. One of the pack officials is still speaking and the hall is as quiet as a graveyard. Naya slowly turns her next to me and looks at me in my face. I furrow my eyebrow slightly. What's with the sour look on her face? Can't she see the cameras everywhere? I reach out and slightly brush my finger against the side of her chin. She blinks and stills immediately, she is not expecting that. Neither is my mother and the hundreds of people sitting down and looking at us. No one has seen me relate to my wife like this. I lean in and
Naya's POV Hearing that he is taking me to the hospital makes my heart skip a couple of beats. Is my mother dead? He refused to tell me? Are they going to take me to the hospital morgue to see my mother's dead body? I don't know, and being in oblivion only makes my anxiety grow. We get to the hospital and I am put in a private room. Erus asked me to lay on the bed, but like the stubborn mule that I am, I only sat on it. Erus' assistant has been asked to keep an eye on me. He keeps stealing glances at me from the corner of the door. He asked me if I wanted something to drink like five times. Soon, Erus returns into the room with a doctor. “Good evening, Miss Naya.” He puts on his gloves as he comes towards me. “What? What's going on?” I look from Erus to the doctor. “You are going to be examined, Naya.” Erus says. “You have been behaving very annoying these past days and I am forced to think something has been triggering some weird hormones inside of you…” The doctor comes 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.
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 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 try to pretend that I am not nervous to meet my daughter again, but that's not true. I bought her the biggest packet of chocolate, I bought her the biggest teddy bear I could find, and I also bought her stocks in three different companies. I hope she likes them. I have never been a father before, I hope I don't fuck this up. When I get to the house and knock on the door, Naya is already there. She gently runs her hand over her face as she looks at me without a single emotion in her eyes. “Hi.” She mumbles as she moves to the side, so that I can get into the house. “Where is she?” “Up in her room, do you want me to get her for you?” I say. “Sure.” I say. I walk around the living room, making sure to look at the few pictures that she hung up. One of her, one of Jordan, and one of her mother. I linger, staring at the picture of her mother longer. Such a nice woman, it's a shame that she died. “Daddy!” “Hello, my princess!” I pick her up and throw her into the air.
Naya's POV I walk into the hospital, still thinking about what Brandon said to me. Fortunately, I can't think long for it, because I have to jump right into work and start to treat my patients. Pat pushes a cart when she sights me stitching someone's hand up. “Hey, Naya,” she comes up to me. “I have been looking for you, where have you been?” “I'm sorry, I have just been too busy.” I smile at her. She leans forward and whispers to me. “Did you hear that the witch is back?” “The witch?” I frown. *Who is a witch around here?” “Matron Vanessa.” She says. “She is like the dictator of this place and she doesn't care who anyone else, we all have to lick her ass.” Nurse Vanessa?! Mary's friend? I was told about her already and I was looking forwards to meeting her. I didn't know that she was a taskmaster to everyone here. Now, I have to be weary of her. “Damn, I didn't know that's she's like that. Do you think that I should be worried?” “Your skills has travel
Naya's POV Erus is going to come again and I am feeling so nervous. Sometimes, I think I have made a mistake by asking him to come see Jordan, but maybe it's not a mistake. He would have found out anyway, it's just a matter of time, and would have forgiven me if he knew that I hid her from him for so long? I mean, he is angry now, but it would have been worse. I am making pancakes for Jordan. Before I have to take her to school, she is sipping her hot cocoa drink, and seems to have so many thoughts in her young wandering mind. “That man is my father?” She looks up at me. “Yes, sweetie, that's your father.” I smile. “Aren't you happy to finally meet him?” “Why hasn't he been living with us?” She blurts out. “All my friends' fathers live in the same house with them.” I heave and flip the pancakes. Where do I start from, my sweet Jordan? “Your dad has just been busy, that's why. But hey, he is here now and that's all that matters.” I take the pancakes and put them in front of
Erus' POV Suddenly, I am no longer too tired to get anything done. I get into the car and Brandon drives me away without security. He takes me to one of our abandoned bunkers, which is located in the outskirts of the city, and I meet two vans outside. My men are still inside there, I know it would take a lot of manpower to capture the rogue and keep him contained. “Brandon, you will remain in the car.” I instruct him as I unlock the door. “No, sir, I want to go with you. Maybe you might need me, I don't know.” Brandon insists. I turn to look at him. “Brandon, a rogue is very dangerous to werewolves, do you think you can survive them as a mere human?” Brandon runs his hands over the steering wheel. “Please, sir, don't make me stay in the car. I have my silver knife and I have been going to the gym for months now. I can take care of myself.” I sigh. If he insists, who am I to stop him from dying? We both walk into the bunker and we are met with darkness. Darkness so dense that
Erus' POV Naya was scared to her bones when I walked out of the house. I know that she is terrified because of how I speak to her, but I have to let her know that I am going to give it to her easily. Even though she raised my daughter all by herself for seven years, that doesn't justify the fact that she took my daughter from me for those years. I lived for seven years, mourning a daughter I never knew and a wife I barely got to love. Yes my mother and I gave her a hard time, but she stole seven years from my daughter's life. She should know that I will have my eyes on her from now on. If she makes any move to leave the city with my child, then she will force my hand to punish her for running in the first place. I will become a good father to Jordan, but I don't know what I am going to do with Naya. She is so… complicated. But it's hard to pretend. It's hard to pretend that she is not my mate anymore, it's hard to pretend that I have slept with a ton of women in seven years and
Naya's POV “What? I tried to kill her?” My jaw tightens. How dare him try to say that about me?! He thinks he has the moral high ground?! He doesn't answer me, he stands up and starts to head up the stairs, even though he doesn't know anywhere else in the house. “Her bedroom?” He requests. I open the door of her bedroom and he slowly lowers her to the bed and kisses her forehead. Thankfully, she doesn't wake up. He steps out and locks the door after him. “You think I tried it kill Jordan?” I ask him with spite. “Do you know that she is the only reason that life is worth living for me? I lost everything!” “I know you tried to kill yourself and Jordan the night you gave birth to her. I don't know why you would do something stupid like that, but I'm glad that Jordan is alive.” Painful tears fills my eyes. He has never changed and even though I never let my guard down around him, his painful words still hurts me. “Damn, Erus, you are still the same after all these years.” I chuc
