Carson's POV Right after the battle with the demon wolves, I couldn't get my mind off the beautiful lady that had saved me. Her face kept popping into my head, causing a lot of distraction for me. I tried so hard to focus my mind on reading the magazine that I was holding. I was trying hard to concentrate, but it wasn't working. I kept thinking back to the way the mysterious lady had saved my life, how bold and fearless she had looked. I knew I had felt something different in my entire body, immediately I had set my eyes on her. Something like a connection. I wished I could see her again. In fact, I wanted to see her again right here and now. I wanted to look into those beautiful and mesmerizing red eyes. But the greater reason why I wanted to see her was to ask her some questions, like why she had saved me the other day, and who she really is. I'm pretty sure that she wasn't an ordinary werewolf. She had had fire flaming from her mouth and nostrils, which makes me think she might
Antoine's POV I was running down deep into the woods, and a figure was coming behind me, chasing me in hot pursuit. I was fast, but he was faster. I looked back to check his face, and then I saw it was Lucifer, the leader of the demon wolves pack. "Why was he chasing me?" I wondered. He had a murderous look on his face, and he was holding a sword that had a shiny blade which suggested it would be very sharp. He was pointing it aggressively in front of him. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, but he was a good runner as if he had been specially trained to chase after people all his life. He was soon going to catch up with me, so I doubled my speed and he soon noticed and kind of tripled his own speed and he soon caught up with me, hitting my head violently with the handle of his sword. I felt a sharp pain course through my head, and I immediately stopped running, grasping my head with both of my hands and yelping in pain. He pushed me hard and I staggered forward, barely manag
Antoine’s POV "Shit!" I cursed inwardly. I don't like to feel this way. But why do I feel like I had just been caught in an act of doing something stupid? He came and stood beside me, grinning from ear to ear. God knows what's going on in his head. "You still haven't answered my question," he said. I had no interest in this kind of conversation, but it seemed like he knew about something. Could it be about the fact that Stacie was my mate? I hadn't told anyone, not even Damien. I didn't want to discourage them from finding their own mates. But I reckoned that Damien might still find out later. But not this soon. So I decided to brazen it out and force him to spill out what he knew. If he knew anything at all. "What makes you think I do?" I asked him. "Isn't it so obvious? You find her attractive, that was why you personally went to buy her and even sent me to drive her here. Plus you also made her your attending maid." "I've been wanting to ask you since. But I've been waiting
Antoine POV Stacie pressed the knife against my neck, and it cut slightly through my skin. I could feel the pain, but the funniest part of it was that I couldn't get my mind to think properly or even react. The impact of her soft breast pressing against my hard back was clouding my brain and overriding my senses. I opened my mouth to say something but then she pressed her breast further into my back and I closed my mouth back, swallowing hard in my throat. It was so confusing and it felt so hard, trying to utter a word. I didn't like the way I was feeling but I couldn't help it. Maybe being away from women, sex, and everything, all this time is taking hold of my body. Because, the last time I remembered, I used to have control over little things like this, over a little sexual desire, over a pesky libido. Even when most of the slaves had packed themselves to my chambers, naked and wet for me, I hadn't even touched them at all. Even with the fact that I had been drunk and everything,
Antoine's POV "A quick learner," I thought. Her movements were now much better than they had been some time ago, and I couldn't help but admire her once again. She came at my legs, now crouching down and circling around my legs, holding them, as if to forcefully pull me down. She would have done it successfully if she had been a little faster and more calculative. "Too slow," I told her, bending down slightly, and yanking her roughly with one hand from behind me, bringing her to the front. She gulped, staring up right at my face, fear evident in her eyes. It took all the self-control in me not to burst out laughing. I just so much enjoy seeing the look of fear in her eyes. She always looked cute the most then. And more beautiful too. I bent down to her level, having a menacing look on my face. I grabbed her chin roughly and lifted up her head slightly, causing her to shudder involuntarily, but she had already changed her facial expression. She was now staring hard, back at me, as i
Antoine's POV I hadn't expected Stacie's outburst. I was only asking a question, so why the flare-up? I ignored her words. "Just in case, you shouldn't slip it out to anyone, whosoever it is. Not by mistake, not by anything else." That got her on the edge again. "Why!? Why shouldn't I just go and shout out to everyone, in a loud and clear voice!" She said, then her voice softened as she said; "what is so bad about the fact that I'm your mate?" Her voice grew louder again. "Is there any reason I should not tell anyone?" "Just one. Because I'm asking you not to" Her expression hardened. "Not good enough." She started to turn away, but I caught her arm and pulled her into my embrace. "Stacie-----" Her body stiffened in my embrace, the gesture shocked even me. I quickly pulled out of the embrace, the moment my hand made contact with her arm. But I had felt the touch, light as it was and I could see how she had also responded to my touch in the softening of her eyes, in the slight int
Stacie's POV "So why were you so intent on learning how to fight?" I heard Antoine say, and I immediately froze. I hadn't seen the question coming. When he had asked me about how I was sold into slavery, I knew I would have to talk about my plight and Beta Daniel, but I didn't want to take the risk of telling anyone. Because I couldn't trust anyone yet, because Daniel could have spies even in this dark moon park. So I had told Antoine to ask me another question, but now he asked me even a more direct one that would even make me explain everything in detail. I shifted on his lap, we were too close. Our bodies were touching. When I didn't respond to his question, he placed his hand on my cheeks from behind and turned my head slowly to face him, and our lips were almost touching. He was looking at me with a concerned expression, but my mind wasn't even there, I was already lost in thought. Thinking about a lie to come up with and dish out to him. He placed his hands on my shoulders as
Stacie's POV Ariel laughed in my head, jolting me out of my thoughts. I was going to tell Antoine not to try to kiss me or anything, but then I looked closely at him and realized that the intensity of his gaze was not even because of me. He had also become lost in thought. And he was not even seeing me. He had never had any intention of kissing me. What if he was also thinking about having sex with me? That can't be! Someone that didn't even have any intention of Kissing me, despite how close to each other's skin we were. My face flamed up at my silly assumptions that he was going to kiss me. I blushed so hard, angry at myself for how close I had come to make a complete and utter fool of myself with Antoine. I couldn't help but imagine what he would have said. He would have laughed it off with a wave of his hand and even called me silly. He might even rebuke me seriously. Or would he have done otherwise? The exact opposite of what I was expecting? Would he have actually kissed me?
