“ Are you sore? Are you ok? Did the mark take on me? ” Leon rambled as we were snuggled together on the bed. I chortled and beamed up at him. I opened my mind link for the first time in periods, ” can you hear me?" I concentrated on Leon. I watched as his eyes cheered , and a huge smile appeared on his face. " I love you, beautiful." He answered through the link, gaping down at me. I soughed at his voice in my head. Athena purred and sounded settled too. Completing the bond has made me feel at ease; all the negative studies are dulled out by Leon constantly projecting his studies and passions into me. ′ We got lucky, Clara. ′ Athena soughed. “ Has your wolf come back completely? ” I questioned, gaping up at him again. He beamed at me. “ He has. He wants to meet you. ” He replied, smiling. &nbs
“ Get the aeroplane ready we ’ll be there in half an hour. ” He lumbered before shoving his phone in his fund. He placed up my bag and headed out of my frontal door. “ Have a safe flight, love. I ’ll see you soon, ” mama rumored, giving me a quick clinch. I stepped out of the house and went over to the auto. I climbed in beside Leon. He did n’t speak to me. He looked to make sure I was fastened in. He gentled Beta Jace on his shoulder to indicate we were ready. The auto roared to life and sped off down the road. I smelled in a breath and glanced at Leon. He has his eyes fixated on the seat in front of him. He does n’t look at me or indeed holds my hand when I placed it over his. I breathed out but kept my hand over his. I know he’s hurting and trying to keep it together. I
I stood outside of the lockup where the mischief was being held. I tried reining my wrathfulness in a little. I wanted to question him, not just go straight in there and tear his head off. I left Clara with my parents and Lila. My parents were so drinking to Clara; I knew they would be. Clara was nervous that they would n’t accept her, but her worries were put to bed when my mum gave her a gladdening smile. I took a deep breath. I demanded answers that I could give the pack before I can go back to my family. As I pulled open the door, Cory appeared. He'd a recessive look on his face. I raised my brow at him. “ He’s not talking. ” He grunted. I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled him into me. “ I ’m so sorry I was n’t then, ” I rumored. The guilt of being down when the pack demanded me the most is eating away at me. &nb
Leon’s POV I opened the cell door, pulling it closed behind me. Rhydian handed me some films while Amaris and Addison looked down. “ You do n’t want to go in there, ” I stated as I pulled the films on. “ Why did you do that? ” Addison screamed. I took a deep breath before glancing at her. “ He hovered my doggy . I could n’t control myself. ” I rumored. “ He killed my family and my stylish friend! ” She yelled, hitting her fists against my casket. “ How am I supposed to control my Dark Wolf without Caleb, ” she cried. I wrapped my arms around her, “ I ’m sorry, ” I puled. Amaris and her binary family are Dark Wolves. But Alex, Amaris ’ family, is veritably infrequently around. When Amaris and Rhydian slept, he converted into a Dark Wolf just without the capacities. A
I ca n’t sit still. I can feel Leon’s feelings going haywire. One alternate, he’s sad, he’s angry. Now he’s upset. My eyes are constantly fixated on the door staying for him to walk through. “ Leon will be fine, ” Ruby, his mama , comforted me from across from the kitchen table. It was nice of her, but it did not work. I soughed and jounced. “ Caleb wouldn't be happy we have n’t given you a proper welcoming, ” she chuckled. I shook my head. “ gibberish. ” I swished my hand through the air. “ The pack need to suffer. ” I assured. She smiled and touched my hand on the table. “ I ’m so glad he has you. ” She reflected. “ I ’m lucky to have him, ” I returned, squeezing her hand. " Where’s Lila?" Leon questioned through the link causing me
We've spent the last week searching for a foreseer, but we have n’t had any luck. We wo n’t find one unless they want to be set up, Amaris said. I do n’t understand why a foreseer would go to a mischief and tell them about a vaticination but not come to those who are also directly involved? It gives me a headache trying to work it out. I ’ll admit, when Leon told me about the vaticination, I freaked out. I ’ve always wanted pups, I was just a little shocked that it’s been read, and I ’ll be having a baby boy. I soughed as I looked in the glass at my knee- length black dress. We ’re having Dominic’s and Caleb’s burial moment. They ’re being buried together near a little delve , which was nearly they spent a lot of time. Leon has declared the delve&nbs
“ I suppose you better come outside, ” Leon suggested as I goggled at her in shock. “ A manly witch? ” I blurted. “ Luna, I assure you my child won't be raised as a peril to anyone. ” Her voice was soft, but she looked offended. I felt kind of bad. Our worlds do n’t collide, generally. Witches keep to themselves and stay down from wolves. So, a wolf and a hag being fated mates do n’t make sense. We walked towards the packhouse in silence. I had so numerous questions I demanded answers to, but I do n’t suppose she has them. Pack members were sluggishly coming out into the road as we passed the collaborative hall. “ Lilith? ” Amaris grassed . The witch turned around, and her face lit up. “ Amaris Thorne, ” She beamed. “ Oh, it’s Amaris
“ Leon. I know. What you're doing. ” I moaned as he pushed his fritters inside me designedly decelerate while smoothly licking up and down over my clit. As soon as we set the lanterns out, we were both itching to get back to the room. Amaris offered to watch Lila. You could see it in her face. She knew where we were going. As soon as we walked into the room, we were on each other. Ripping at each other’s clothes and kissing anywhere we could reach. We ’ve spent the last fifteen twinkles with him going down on me. As much as I love it, I want him to fuck me, and he’s doing everything differently purely. “ Yeah, I ’m making you cum again, ” he groaned as he smelled on my clit. My toes coiled as the pledge of another orgasm climbed advanced. “ You ’re. You ’re stalling, ” I heaved . “ I
6 months latterly. “ Lila, are you ready? ” I cried from outside of her bedroom door. It’s Lila’s fourth birthday moment. I ’ve been told not to go in while she gets dressed. My mama took her shopping for a party outfit, but I ’m not allowed to see it until she’s got it on. My parents treat her as their grand- doggy ; they spoil her rotten when we go around to their house. I was awaiting Leon to be sad and quiet moment. perhaps indeed a little withdrawn, but he’s not. I guess he’s used to it, having to be strong for Lila. He’s not pulling down from me or shutting me out, which I ’m thankful for. I would n’t hold it against him if he did, not moment. “ Come in, ” Lila’s little voice squealed from the inside of her room. I opened her door and gazed around. “ Oh, Lila,
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
