His aspect
was harsh. He was mugging at me, his face full of aversion. I could feel his eyes burning into me. I feel uncomfortable and slightly aroused. What the fuck is wrong with me? “ I ’m then for the training, ” my voice was simply a hum. He took a step forward before stopping himself. The look he gave me nearly floored me. I could see him battling with commodity inside of him, conceivably his wolf. Hurt and pain flashed through his eyes before he snappily composed himself. His eyes darkened as his nostrils burned . He shook his head and scrunched his brows together; he looked repulsed by me. I ’ve just had a shower. Surely I do n’t smell. I took a deep breath and was hit by a strong vanilla scent with a hint of nature. My eyes went wide as his scent gulfed my senses. It was making me stitch in interdicted places. I edged back sluggishly, glancing down and making sure my kerchief was still covering me. I looked back over at him. His eyesLeon’s POV. I shut her door behind me and took a deep breath. What the fuck is going on with me? I took a deep breath and leaned against the door. She’s not my mate. I've a mate, well, had a mate. When she arrived at the pack, my wolf, Linus, stirred for the first time in three times. Losing Amelia destroyed us. Lila is the reason I ’m still then, but Linus, it’s like he failed along with her. I lost my mate and my wolf. I have n’t shifted since; he does n’t come out. The only reason I ’m still nascence is because of Wade and Dominic. Dominic took the part of nascence while I suffered and watched for my invigorated doggy . Caleb mind linked me when he met them. He said whatever reason clara was then for, it was bad. She looked broken and fragile. I had to see her for myself. I knew she was coming with the nascence’s son and his mate, so I allowed I ’d hail them as they entered the pack land. What I was n’t awaiting to see was a brown wolf rol
I ca n’t sleep. Every time I close my eyes, it’s like I ’m agonized by Ethan. All I can see is him, his voice, his scent. I just want him out of my head. I moaned internally and pulled myself up into a sitting position on the bed. I do n’t know what time it is. There’s no timepiece or anything; I do n’t indeed have my phone. I could do with a drink of warm milk, which always settles me when I ca n’t sleep. I just do n’t feel comfortable walking around the packhouse. I soughed and decided to just go for it. I stood up and went towards the closet to find commodity to put on my bases. I searched through my wallet for my slippers, but I could n’t find them so I must have left them. My mindlink was being poked at again. My head felt like someone was constantly punching me. I broke my hunt to stay for the headache to fade. Ah, ethereal socks! I picked them up and looked at them; little wolves were each over the socks. I chortled as I allowed back to w
After having warm milk with Lila, Alpha Leon took her back to bed. She made me promise I would watch firmed with her. I could n’t say no to her; she’s just so cute! I irrigated the mugs before heading to bed. I feel a little brighter than I did. My head is n’t hurting presently. I suppose he’s stopped for tonight. “ You did n’t have to do that, ” Alpha Leon’s voice startled me. I glanced at the door. He was stood, leaning on the door frame. “ It was no problem, ” I murmured, “ I ’m going to go to bed now, ” I mentioned. He jounced, stepping towards me. “ I accidentally broke your phone, ” He rumored. My eyes went wide, “ how? ” I asked. He looked embarrassed and a little shamefaced. “ I was taking your phone out of my fund, and you entered a textbook from Ethan, ” He started explaining. I drew a sharp breath in as he mentioned his name. “ I wanted to know what he said to you, so. I read the textbooks, ” He muttered, glancing at the bottom. “ What did t
We made our way to the pack dining room for breakfast. I agreed to have breakfast with them because I was heading there too. Lila claimed on holding my hand, so we are walking behind Alpha Leon. He keeps skimming back at us, fixating his eyes on our hands. His facial expression gives nothing down; he’s like a damn closed book I ca n’t read. We reached the dining hall. nascence Leon gestured for us to go by. “ You need to come and sit with me, ” Lila chirruped as she pulled me along. I looked around the dining hall. It was huge. There were two long tables pushed together in the centre of the room. All different kinds of breakfast food were scattered each over the table. Everyone that was seated at the table was watching me. Their eyes following as Lila dragged me to the end of the table. We reached the table, and Lila sat down, flagging me to sit next to her. I looked down at the table and noticed Mila and Mateo sat a many seats down. She was beaming at me. I reall
“ What are we going to tell your pack? ” I murmured. I was resting my head on his casket as he brushed his hand up and down my reverse. The feeling was elatedness. He blocked out everything. All the negative studies and the tone- loathing. The only thing running through my head was how close we both were. “ We ’ll tell them you ’re my mate and their Luna. ” He remarked, “ but we ’ll do it when you ’re ready. ” He added as he soughed. I sat up suddenly. “ Oh my goddess, Luna? I ca n’t be a Luna. ” I squalled. A deep husky chortle rolled from his casket, and I nearly blaze at the sound. He lifted his brow at me, and his eyes glowed black. I took a deep breath to calm myself. “ I need to go back to my pack, ” I soughed. A deep rumble bucketed from his  
After Carson took me inside the structure, I was incontinently gulfed in a clinch from Lillian, Carson’s son. She’s stunning. She’s got the body of a walking figure model from a magazine. Her hair is spurt black, long and curled. Her eyes are a deep brown. She’s got a fun energy girding her. I could tell we were going to get on. “ I ca n’t stay to be suitable to do placement training, ” Lillian burst as we sat in one of the apartments. We ’ve been sat for the last an hour and a half, harkening to a woman talk about the basics of being a midwife. It was interesting. I wish I had brought a tablet and pen with me. I wanted to flash back all of this. She gave us a little quiz to fill in, utmost of the stuff I knew because of my mama . “ I've a long way to go before I can do that, ” I chortled.
He let go of me and stepped back, shock written all over his face. I puled, bending over, clinging my stomach as the pain came back. His eyes widened as he snappily embraced me again. As he drew me into his casket, I seized his shirt. He benumbed the pain. He took it fully down. I breathed out in relief and hid my face in his casket. I could feel eyes on us, it was disturbing, but I would take embarrassment over pain any day. “ nascence, take her inside. ” Dominic, Caleb’s mate, rumored. “ We ’ll look after Lila." He added. He went to move his arms, and I whined. “ I ’m not letting you go. ” He rumored, squeezing my midriff. I breathed out in relief. He kept his hand on my midriff as he scuffled me backwards towards the house. No bone spoke. I could

Audrey nodded, sweeping her gaze on every faces in the conference room. She was in one of their weekly meetings. She was following up on their stories, barely speaking because there wasn’t much to say to the competent and insightful women around the table. The fitness team were just giving her an update when her phone buzzed with a text message from Vren.She clicks her pen, wishing nothing more but for the meeting to be over. And when it did, she watches in agony as everyone exits before her. She types a reply on her phone, changing her mind when a man she recognized in one glimpse comes in as everyone else was going out.The lingering glances didn’t go unnoticed. She was getting used to the female attention he constantly gets wherever he goes. She still has her moments though – where she just couldn’t help but get jealous. But, of course, Vren doesn’t have to know that. The things is, she really thought the women would eventually subside once he no longer have the lux
“Berry, nude or matte blue?”Audrey squinted closer to her computer screen where Jessica was holding three nail polishes and Kathie was shifting in her enormous couch. “Nude.”Since two out of three has had hassles going to places, they resorted to video calls.“Yeah, nude.” Kathie nods, pausing to fluff a throw pillow.“Boring. I think I’ll choose matte blue.” She glances briefly at them, then snort laughed.Audrey shot her a glare. “What?”“Nothing. My screen is ninety-five percent round bellies. Five percent faces of my best friends.” She shakes the bottle, grinning at the screen.“I’ll kill you if you take a screenshot right now.”Jessica bellowed a laugh. “I’d like to see you try with that belly.”“Just wait until you get one of these bellies too,” Kathie chimes in a sing song voice. She adjusted her phone, angling it to her face.Their friend merely snorted and started painting her toenails.Audrey would’ve given a skeptical eye
“Sweetheart?” Vren closes the door behind him. She hasn’t opened the door for him. Although she only meets him at the door on a few occasions, he’s still allowed to expect a peck from his girlfriend. He padded quietly inside his penthouse, chest fluttering as he hears her elegant voice from the living room.He watches in amusement as the woman he’s been obsessing over for months now chided someone over her phone. He couldn’t exactly hear the entire conversation but he was able to get the idea that it was about an advertiser who pulled out from a prime spot at the last minute.She’s supposed to be on sabbatical leave but she kept everything monitored through Kylie. Although she reassured him she’s keeping herself from stress, Vren tries to get her off the phone. Mainly for his own personal gain because he needed the attention. Some days she’s hunched over her laptop, maybe checking her emails, and sometimes engrossed in a video call with her friend Rachel Myers whom she
Audrey paces in her bedroom. The pink interior slowly transitioned into an irritating shade because her room looked happy in contrary to the dread dwelling in the pit of her stomach. Her mother came over to her Aunt Gemma’s house—the first time she went out of the house since she has been discharged from the hospital.A revving car from outside snapped her out of her thoughts, reorienting her to the task at hand. The engine groaned loudly into a stop but she couldn’t care less about it. She leaned her back against the wall, looked out the window where the sun was streaming in several hours ago. There wasn’t any trace of it anymore which means she’s spent the day fruitlessly.The wall felt cold against her back. She gathered a calming breath in through her nose and scrolled through her contacts one more time. Swallowing the bile in her throat, she rings him. The soles of her feet were freezing as her palms. She hoped it will go to voicemail and save her from the embarras
One call. All it takes is one phone call. For Pete’s sake just call. She’s been staring at her phone all morning. She’s been mustering all the courage she needed to make the call. Since when did a single phone call became her toughest obstacle?Right. When she started mooning over Vren Parkinson without control over it. And that’s why she’s been wanting to call in the first place.Audrey figured she needed the fresh air to clear her mind, so she sat in the front porch and breathed in some courage.She’s been so occupied she didn’t pay attention to the car easing onto the driveway. Her head snapped to the direction of the driver’s side where the car door just closed with a soft thud. Her hands clenched at the sight of a familiar face she’s known by heart.He hesitated when he sees her on the porch swing. Mistaking her lack of movement for something else other than pure surprise, he turns and reopens the door.“Dad, it’s okay.” She bolted upright, stopping her
Vren pursed his lips irritably as he reaches the end of his contacts. Yet again. In emotional conflicts, he would resort to calling a past fling. But, surprising himself, he was deleting each single one from his contacts.What the hell was he supposed to do?For a great portion of his life, he had women as proven distraction from the noise of business ordeals. However, he haven’t met Audrey then. He didn’t have a deep emotional conflict that could only be relieved by one particular woman.His life is way off course. The only solution to put it back on track is to have his Audrey back. Whatever it might cost him. He had long lists of grand gestures he’s taken a mental note of. If that doesn’t give away how much he hasn’t been sleeping, maybe the dark circles might.He was on the verge of smashing his phone for having no one else to call. He takes out a heavy sigh and pressed that one phone number he has considered to call.Damn it. What the hell?Vren cli
Audrey won’t talk about it. She won’t even think about it. She wrapped her arms around her legs and tucked her knees against her chest. Her fingers shielded her eyes from the sun. She peeks through the space between her thumb and forefinger to assess how much she overslept. Her arm slumped back to her side as she wishes she could sink further to the cushions.He loves me.She shakes her head aggressively, shoving the thought out of her head.She told herself that this is how things are supposed to be. It was right to keep him in arm’s length. The barely there suggestion of marriage triggered everything she had kept at the back of her mind and pooled all over her. The mention of the ring really did a number on her. Her mother’s words that angered her then, came back to haunt her. However, she developed the habit of setting aside outside influences from her decisions over the years. So if Audrey were to screw up, she has an accusatory finger right to her face.Aud
Audrey sink to the rug, her gaze going over the opened door of the bathroom where she just spent the entire morning after having a round of morning sickness and some other stuff she doesn’t want to think about. A small sob slipped out, followed by another.She began crying in the quiet of the guest room. Her chest heaved from huge, racking sobs that doesn’t seem to end. She pulled her legs close, tucking her knees to her chest. She buried her face on the comfort of her thighs. Hoping it will muffle the sound.She was fine yesterday. She was doing well in keeping her mind off the soft spot. But waking up today with a terrible morning sickness felt like stepping right onto a landmine. Amidst the distressing process of cleaning her stomach clean, she thought about how bearable it once was when Vren was right on her side, holding her hair back, rubbing her back and his voice so soft on her ears.“Damn it!” She hissed as the memory flood in fresh new tears to her already
Vren’s hand covers hers, snapping her out of her stream of thought. They were in the kitchen having coffee after lunch. He wanted to stay for the weekend. Badly. But he had important business to attend to that he couldn’t reschedule. He likes to think that Audrey was just sulking that he couldn’t stay, but that’s not Audrey. She won’t show her need for him to stay because that would be demanding him to stay. And she’s not the kind to hold someone back.“You’re awfully quiet, Audrey.” He links his pinky finger with hers, finally drawing her attention to him.Her other hand grazed the curving handle of her mug. “It’s nothing, really.”“What is it? Maybe I can help?” Vren wasn’t dense not to notice her mother locking herself up in her bedroom. Audrey leaves her be.She kept her eyes on the mug like she found entertainment in the swaying steam of her coffee. She was silent still.Vren urges her face up with a finger beneath her chin. “Is this about getting a rin
