Chapter 31

Dahlia.

Lola didn’t speak for the next two hours. We sat eating our lunch quietly at a decent new café nearby. As soon as I caught up to her, she smiled at me, dragging me to the first café she set her eyes to.

We finished eating. After paying the bill, we walked out the café without saying a word. Walking side by side, I glanced at her. The tears were wiped off her face and a fake smile was plastered on her face. I cleared my throat.

“Lola?”

“Hm?” She hummed without looking at me.

“Is there something you want to tell me?”

“No.” she immediately answered, shaking her head.

I paused for a moment, weighing my options. In the end, I chose to say something about it.

Taking a deep breath, I halted in my steps, making her stop on her tracks as well.

“Do you—”

“Hi.” I was cut off by the sound of a deep, masculine voice way close to me.

I freeze, slowly turning around to see his face.

That blonde, wavy hair he wore down to his shoulders and that dashing smile that makes panties d

    Dahlia.I can’t believe it. “It’s beautiful…” I sighed, taking in the scenery. The water flows smoothly in the lake, a quiet waterfall just above it. My eyes go to a small field of dandelions and lilies, surrounding half of the lake. Butterflies flew gracefully over the flowers, as they land on the petals their wings sparkle beneath the sunlight. I have never seen such beauty in a place before. One that invites you to explore and just release negative energy you’ve been carrying. I have been away in the city. Nothing I have seen is quite like this. Humans do a good job creating similar scenes, but nothing beats a true piece of mother nature.“It is.” I turn my head, and our eyes met almost in an instant. I feel my face blush, tucking some hair behind my ear as I realized he’s been watching me gawk at this beautiful place.“You know what this reminds me of?’ He suddenly asks.I lifted my gaze, meeting his halfway. The way he looked at me made my heart melt and my wolf is literally

    Chapter 33Dahlia.He’s my mate! I should have remained faithful to him. I betrayed him without him knowing, and now I felt guilty for my actions.At this moment I have decided, I really need to stop messing around with the guys, especially Hades. My wolf seemed to agree with me because she huffed.I looked over to my side to see my mate staring at me. If I had human cheeks, I’d probably be blushing by now. My heart beat involuntarily as if it was made to beat for him, and only him. Something buried inside me seemed to make me feel drawn to him. I could easily tell it was the mate bond, because why would I feel something so strong to someone I just met?I mentally shake my head.‘Uhm, we better head back’ I tell him through the mind link.Tatum didn’t object. Instead, he immediately got on all fours and went over to the spot where he left his clothes. I rolled on my side, pushing myself off the grass. As I made my way towards the back of the tree where I knew for certain I left my cl

    Chapter 34Dahlia.“Dahlia.” All hair on my body stood on end at that moment, recognizing that voice. It’s almost like my body automatically responded at the sound of a deep, guttural breathing, and I could practically hear the air heave up and down his chest. The mixture of both, once made my toes curls and my back arch before I had the most intense, mind-blowing orgasm. No one has ever made me feel that way. No one but them.In the darkness, I could barely make out Tatum’s jaw clench before he was forced to move in his spot. His back is now turned to me, and I peek over his shoulders.“Dahlia.” Valerian growled this time, his low, raspy voice echoed in the cave. A feeling of relief suddenly settled in my stomach. I don’t know why but I was glad they showed up.My head tilts to the side, watching Tatum’s expression darken, or so I thought. At least that’s what I think I saw. My mind must be playing tricks on my because the next moment I blinked, a playful expression was now plaste

    Chapter 35Dahlia.Atlas looked me up and down with worry in his eyes as soon as we arrived and entered through the door. Hades and Valerian’s glares never left me even as I walked in, but I did a good job ignoring them with Tatum by my side. Atlas approached us. “What happened to you?” I froze as I met my brother’s eyes. “I-I… uhm…”“It was my fault, Alpha. We were having so much fun playing that we lost sight of her clothes.” Tatum explained for me, making me look at him.Atlas cocked an eyebrow. “Is that right, Dahlia?”I nodded. Technically, I think I could say that was actually what happened. Whoever took them was probably a rogue or something. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.Wait just a minute. Tatum and I weren’t the only ones near the lake. My eyes slowly move to where Hades and Valerian stood as they glared at me, anger in their eyes.My mind raced as I couldn’t help but put 2 and 2 together.They were there, too. How long have they been standing there, watching us?

    Chapter 36Dahlia.I yelped and scooted backwards in my bed, my eyes darting immediately to my bedroom door which is now pushed wide, wide open.Two sexy, inhumanely attractive men stepped in. Their presence seeming to create a dark, yet extremely hotter atmosphere in the air. The pacing of my heart accelerates a thousand times faster, and I can’t seem to breathe. The lights were off, and I was hoping, actually hoping I could hide from their prying eyes. So, I ducked my head, hoping to shrink into the size of a cat. I knew it was an impossible feat, but still I wanted to give it a shot. A deep chuckle resounded through the walls and the cold, night air, making shivers crawl down my spine as I stayed hidden. Inevitably, I could sense their gazes pinned exactly right where I was. Right. Night-vision, I groaned inwardly. I have been living amidst the humans for so longs I have forgotten the basic facts about being a werewolf.The darkness is no threat to us, and I am surprised I am cli

    Dahlia.“You will not come in here and insult my mate like this. Now get out of my room.” I snarled, my hands shaking uncontrollably as it turned numb from the impact.Surprisingly, Hades turned his eyes to me, yet his eyes were gentle, soft.“Little flower,” he purred, grabbing my wrist before pinning them right back above my head.“Let me go, I tell you!” I snarled as I thrash beneath him, but my resistance was futile when Valerian came up and crawled on the bed, pinning down my other leg until I became motionless.“We know you, little flower,” Hades said, his gaze seeming to devour me as I laid there with my legs spread open and my hands stuck in his tight grasp.Hades smirked and whispered into my ear, leaning just close enough for me to hear.“You don’t want us to leave just as much as we don’t want to go,” Then he chuckled.“At least not before we let you come.” His voice came out so deep and husky it made my pussy walls clench. The thought of having the largest explosive orgasm

  • The Dark Side Of Mates   Chapter 38

    Chapter 38Dahlia.Just when I thought it was over, I realized I was wrong as Hades, after having an explosive orgasm, didn’t stop thrusting into me with the same rhythm, same speed, same force that has my body jolting up and down in my bed.And if anything, his thrusts only became rougher than slower. My walls clenched and spasmed around his cock. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Valerian move before Hades flipped me on my stomach. Just in time, Valerian’s mouth popped as he released my breasts and moved under me. Now I am facing his massive cock with a bead of precum on the tip, making me gulp. Suddenly, I had a parched throat and parted lips to back it up.Hades groaned his arousal while he continued pounding me from behind. Valerian smirks down at me, as he pushes my head down and my tongue slips out, licking his pre-cum and twirling my tongue around it, causing him to groan in approval.I began lapping his thick juices from his balls upward before Hades thrusted into me with

    Dahlia.“Why do you smell like them?” He asks again. This time all blood drains from my face as I feel my brother’s Alpha aura rush out of him.What the fuck am I going to do now? For the love of me, I have forgotten to clean myself up or take a shower after they were done. I didn’t bother, I was currently not in the right state of mind nor did I have the energy to take a cold one. I shuddered at the tone he used in his question. Did he smell them all over me?Shit, I was so stupid because of course I reeked of them. They came and milked my body with their cum. I should have been more careful, and now, my alpha brother is going to kill me.Taking a big gulp down my parched throat, I slowly spun on my heel, looking anywhere but at my brother who now stood one, terrifying meter before me.“Delilah.”“Huh?” My eyes snap up to meet his dark eyes, quite identical to mine when they’re not turning black due to his wolf rising to the surface.“I asked you a question.” His voice was calm, sur

    Dahlia’s POV:I spent the entire day with Tatum showing me around the rogue commune. It was kind of sad, how they are forced to live in hiding in fear of pack members who’d kill them at first sight. No mercy is shown to them, no support from the council, no one else to rely on but themselves. It made me think, with everything Tatum told me about his life before the Alpha King saved him, he still didn’t turn his back on them. Something to think about, before the thought of rejecting him eventually slipped my mind.“Everything ok?” Tatum asks from the driver’s seat, making me glance at him.“Uh, yeah.” I let out a breath. “Thank you so much for today,” I say.He smiles genuinely. “I wanted to show my mate who I was. Be awkward if you didn’t know anything about your mate,” he chuckles, and I force a smile.“Yeah,” I say, feeling awkward. We both faded into silence while I stared up at my brother’s house, wondering what I will do when I see Hades waiting for me inside.How do I tell h

    Hades’ POV:I keep looking at the clock as I sat on this stool in the island, waiting for her to return. It has been over five hours, yet still, no sign of her. Swigging my beer, I bring it to my mouth before chugging it all in one go. The bottle clinks on the island’s surface when the door crashes open. The sound had me whipping my eyes to it, already feeling my excitement rush through me, only for it to quickly die down at the sight of Atlas’ drama queen for a luna. She’s never around, and when she is, she sees to it that she picks a fight with me, my brother, or Atlas before she makes her usual, dramatic exit, storming off towards the door.Lisa swayed her hips as she walked inside, mumbling words in slurs before she stumbles forward. I wait for her to fall flat on her face, desperate for cheap entertainment after hours of chilling around by myself. My hopes had vanished when her hands flailed around before grabbing onto the couch, preventing what could have been my spontaneous c

    Dahlia’s POV:Tatum held me gently and softly as he led me into the woods. He said he wanted to show me something. So I shrugged and let him take me there. Where we are going I had no idea, but I trusted him. He’s my mate, after all. My wolf purred feeling his body close, his scent, his fingers intertwined with mine. My wolf especially loved his scent. The more he got close, the more she purred and my body burned with desire, a need. Glancing over at him, I felt my heart thump and throbbed at the same time, knowing soon I would have to reject him. Then, guilt washes over me. Immediately, I looked away. I internally sigh, pondering over what I should do next.I have to reject him. I cannot and will not live through a year keeping Tatum around with no real intention of accepting him as my mate. I made up my mind after I left the house and got off Hades’ lap. Yet, I felt guilty.Is this the bond flowing through my veins making me feel these things or is it something else?My wolf huffe

    Dahlia’s POV:I held my breath when he leaned in and sniffed me. Please don’t recognize his scent, I pray over and over in my head as my heart thumped.But to my surprise, he pulled away as if it was nothing. He revved the engine before punching on the gas.I secretly let out a sigh of relief. Thank goddess he didn’t pick up his scent. I have no idea why I was so scared of him finding out, when I should be upfront and just tell him already. My wolf howled in my head, preparing for what was to come. I told her my plans. I was going to reject him. I was going to reject my mate.I couldn’t find the perfect time to do it because he was sort of in a beast mode since this morning, making me wonder what has gotten into him that got him so riled up.Looking over at him driving, his eyes straight and focused on the road, I felt the urge to ask. Then I looked away, deciding against it. However, each second that passed my conscious was surely eating me up.There’s clearly something going on wi

    Chapter 58Danielle’s POV:“You’re late,” he snarled. I quirked my brows, puzzled by his sudden change in attitude. Still, I felt an urge to apologize because of how angry he looks. “I’m sorry,” I slump my shoulders. I hear him sigh as he walks over to me. He takes my hand in his, making me look up. “It’s fine,” he grumbled, but his the expression on his face told me he was really unhappy. I peeked at his face but he suddenly turned away. Strange. Every time I see him, a smile is always plastered on his face. I wonder if there’s something that got him so riled up today. Nonetheless, I let him drag me to some café. He went ahead and ordered two strong-ass coffee drinks without asking me. I shrugged, thinking he’s probably in too much of a bad mood to ask. I let my gaze linger to the glass beside the counter, and my mouth watered at the sight. They displayed cheesecake tarts and other varieties of pastries such as croissants, which is ultimately my favorite. I know Tatum wa

    Dahlia’s POV:Sauntering down the staircase, I spot my brother Atlas making coffee when he looks up and smiles at me.“Good morning,”I make my way over to the kitchen, glancing around looking for trouble.“Where’s your lovely luna?” I asked mockingly. Actually, I regretted calling her that because now I wanted to puke.Atlas took a sip of his coffee before answering.“How should I know?”I arched a brow.“She goes out in the middle of the night to who-knows-where, she never tells me anything,” he shrugged, sipping from his coffee as he sat on one of the stools at the island. I examine his appearance. His hair is disheveled, looking like someone had run their hands roughly through it and there were visible scratch marks on his neck. Those cannot be mistaken for an accident. If anything, he’d been in a sexcident all night long.“Really?” I scoff, my eyes looking pointedly at the visible scratch mark on his neck. He noticed and laughed, then goes to say something when his gaze went over

    Valerian’s POV:I blinked my eyes. The sunlight pressing softly on my face had me pulling my brows in confusion and irritation.“Too bright,” I murmured under my breath, groaning as I turned over and buried my face in the pillow.Who the fuck pulled the curtains so early in the morning? I groan, annoyed that someone came into my room and messed up my fucking morning.“Good morning,” A soft, tiny voice whispered into my ear, making me jolt awake and look into her direction. My eyes widened at the side of a goddess. Her blonde, curly hair cascaded down her body in beach waves. Her freckles were more visible in this light, and her eyes twinkled beautifully as they reflected the sun’s blinding light. Cherry on top, she’s naked. So fucking naked as my eyes roamed down and further, right where I remember tasting her last night.Wait. I vaguely remember going to this room, and…Oh, yeah. It was Hades who asked me to trade places with him and even get someone to make me look like him as cover

    Dahlia.It was just like that movie I saw the other night, where the woman plays coy and continuously provokes the man until he is no longer able to take it, and decides to take the prize for himself. Compelling her to give in, making her crave for more than just a tease here and there. I was that girl. Right here, right now, I want every inch of his body even if it means committing a sin. The world is sinful in its own damned, selfish ways. What is one, harmless sin, more?I lock my thighs around him, wrapping him as if I was afraid he’d escape and run off to some mating ceremony, getting mated to a girl that is not me. I won’t allow it.He’s mine. I growled as I met each of his thrusts. As he pounded into my flesh, I rocked my hips against him, just as desperate, just as passionate as the lust swimming in his beautiful eyes.I have never seen eyes like his, or Valerian’s. Not even Tatum’s is as unique, and I find myself drawn to them every damn time. It is why I can’t resist him.

  • The Dark Side Of Mates   Chapter 54

    Dahlia.I spent the day with Tatum, feeling like I’ve known more about him than I could in a lifetime. He told me all these fun stories, he’s even good at jokes, too. Even better trying to make a straw still standing on his tongue leaning his head back. He’s quite the joker, and I’ve never seen this side of him before. The first time we met, I was too distracted to actually see him for him. He’s my mate, and I know it’s the right thing to do; giving him a chance. After all, my biggest long-time crushes are unavailable now, leaving me all alone and trapped with this buzzing feeling, a part of me that craves them with every square inch of my body. I wanted them, but they were not meant for me. I tried wrapping my head around that fact by meeting up with Tatum when he rang me in the morning. He’s quite adamant in taking me out on a date, and he said it so sweetly and charmingly I couldn’t say no.Afterwards, he even walked me home and shared some funny stories with me on the way. I feel
