CARTERI bent over her face, sucking her lower lip into my mouth, tasting her. I deepened the kiss as she lowered herself further on to me, swallowing the shallow gasp that escaped her mouth.I lowered my head and sucked her skin between my teeth and she winced out of pleasure, her walls involuntarily clenching around me, earning a loud groan from me.Fuck. "You're so incredible, Hailey" I told her as I grabbed her hips, "I can't be gentle with you right now. You don't know how much I've missed you."I held onto her tightly as I thrusted into her had from beneath and she moaned loudly. Her pussy had never felt better.It was as though anytime I took her, it felt like a whole new experience altogether.I threaded a hand through her hair and pulled her closer, my heart racing. I wanted to lose myself in her tonight. Fuck, I had never craved anyone as much as I craved her. It felt like something was constantly drawing me to her.Hailey leaned in and kissed me as she rotated her hips, her
TEMMYEver since I eavesdropped on my father's conversation with Alpha Damian, I had been restless. Yes, I had informed Xavier of their plans but I couldn't help but think that it was late.My father always acted on his intrusive thoughts and he wasn't a man who wasted his time. Once he had decided to do something, he did it immediately. This got me worried as I had a feeling that my father had already done something bad.Being locked up in my room, I couldn't communicate with anybody and I had was unable to muster the energy to summon Xavier through a mirror. Because as punishment, father had instructed the maids to deprive me of food and water. I constantly paced around my room, looking for ways to escape but because I had previously put the guards to sleep in my attempt to escape, my father had tightened the security. Worry and guilt was clawing at me as I wondered how Xavier and his family were. I sincerely wished, even though I knew it was near impossible, that father wouldn't
TRISTANFrom the moment Malachi approached me, I had done exactly what he had asked me to because it seemed like the right idea.I sat in the couch with my laptop. I had just sent an email to Carter, telling him I was no longer interested in partnering with him and honestly, I felt satisfied as he no longer had anything to hold on to.By the time he received the mail, he'd be extremely surprised send devastated that his plan which hadn't already been put into play had already flopped. Nothing could make me happier than defeating the almighty Supreme Alpha Carter in his own game.The sound of the door distracted me from my reverie and I looked up to know the cause of the sudden intrusion.Malachi had a calm expression on his face like always, and I was beginning to wonder if he ever smiled."I have news," He declared, coming to stand before me.The way he said it made my heart skip a beat in worry, perhaps had Carter countered our plan?But on second thought, I observed Malachi and he
TRISTAN"That's a brilliant idea, Alpha Damian," I commented with a smile despite the rage I felt building inside of me.I watched Alpha Damian smile foolishly, taking praises for the plan I knew he didn't curate.Yet, I swallowed everything. I had tolerated him for a long time now, a few more months wouldn't hurt, right?There was no need spoiling my plan by acting on my impulsive thoughts.I tapped Malachi, with my hand that was placed on his knee, as a sign for him to speak in order to earn their trust.Fortunately, he understood and smiled. "You do not have to be wary of me," He began, "yes, I used to work for Carter but not anymore. I have come to realize that I am better off without him."Alpha Damian smiled at Malachi, "That's good!" He then turned to me, "I'm sure you're the one who convinced him."In response, I simply nodded."The enemy of my enemy is my friend and that is why I have come to you today for us to join hands and take down Carter. I hope you'll trust me," Malach
HAILEYI have to keep running!I dashed through the woods, as fast as my legs could carry me, ignoring the tree branches that wiped my face as I sped through the dark, gloomy forest. Something was chasing me but I didn't know what. All I knew was that it was dangerous and it seeked to devour.Several times did my dress get caught in a branch but then, I tore it off. I was incredibly messing but I didn't care. I just needed a means of escape. I looked back, only to find the creature closely behind me but then a twine suddenly wrapped around my leg, causing me to lose my balance and stumble to the ground. I winced due to the effect of the fall on my ankle but I didn't have time to nurse the wound.It was getting closer to me and I needed to increase my pace. I jumped on my feet, and began running, but this time a bit slower due to my injured ankle.I had to keep running. I repeated in my head.I had no idea as to where I was headed but I needed to hide from the creature chasing me.I
CARTER"And since then you've not heard another word from her?" I asked Xavier who was on the other end of the line."Unfortunately not," He said with a pause, "She's probably not in the right state to communicate and I have a bad feeling about it."Hearing Xavier say he felt worried about Temmy made me uneasy. They were mates after all hence he could sense when things were not going right with her."That brings me to my point. The longer we wait, the more drastic things become," I said while spinning a pen in my hand."No, Carter. That'd be a dangerous move" He refuted immediately. "These people are sorcerers therefore we cannot just attack them abruptly. We need to have a proper plan. If we just go after them, it can put lives in danger. Temmy may be in danger."I sighed deeply. I knew he was concerned about his mate's safety but I also couldn't deny the fact that he was right.With nothing left to say, I dropped the call. I was getting frustrated and stressed, a lot of things were
CARTERIn surprise, I rose from the floor, watching Hailey use her sudden mysterious power of Malachi and Amari, the being that almost killed me earlier.Eventually, when Hailey had finished with them, she swayed and passed out. But before she could collide with the floor, I rushed to her and caught her just in time.I stared at Hailey in my arms and confusion washed over me. But before I allowed my thoughts to overshadow me, I needed to make sure that she was okay.I carried her back to the vehicle and slowly placed her on the seat, securing her in place with the seatbelt and then I rushed into my side and sped off, calling the pack's physician on my way home. Once we were home, I carried Hailey back to her room and laid her down on her bed, tucking her underneath the blankets.Fortunately, the physician was already present. He checked her pulse and I watched him closely, careful not to miss even the slightest twitch on his face."How's she? Is she going to be okay?" I asked him.Th
MALACHINo matter how hard I tried, I couldn't trust Tristan and Abidemi fully. No matter the alliance we formed, surely they wouldn't hesitate to betray me once a mouthwatering offer presents itself.I knew deep down that they were up to something so I needed to up my game. But for the meantime, I needed to clear my head. Planning revenge on Carter had eaten deep inside of me that I couldn't think straight. I needed space.And to get that, I decided to take a walk in the beach. It was quiet and serene, as it was empty and dark, exactly what I needed. With my head cleared, I would be able to defeat Carter effortlessly. While strolling in the empty and quiet beach, I sensed that I was being followed. I turn around but found no one.My entire body quickly became alert and ready to attack at the right opportunity. I fastened my pace and walked further into the beach, where it would be easy to tackle whoever was behind me.But halfway through the beach, I spotted two figures in sight. On
HAILEYEPILOGUECarter has been the best father to our daughter, Amelia. From the day he found out about my pregnancy, he had been nothing but caring.Every weekend, we always went shopping for baby items, even without knowing the gender of our baby.And when our baby was finally born, Carter's joy knew no bounds. Whenever Amelia cried at night, he'd ask me to rest while he fed her the milk and rocked her to sleep.He even abandoned the company for Xavier in order to be with me and Amelia. He was ever present and I didn't have any complain whatsoever. My only fear was that she'd grow up to be a daddy's girl and forget me.Carter treated our daughter exactly how I wished to be treated by my father. Everyday, when I thought I'd seen the end, Carter would come up with new ways of loving Amelia. I wouldn't be surprised if her first word was his name.After my rebirth, I had never thought I'd find love again. I had given up on it and planned that after carrying out my revenge, I'd start a
CARTER"She's really grumpy and demanding but I love every second of it," I said, knotting my tie."I'm sure you do." Xavier replied, "I'd even mistake you for the carrying the child because of how happy and healthy you look," Xavier's comment made me laugh. He was right as I had heard the comment several times. A lot of people said I was enjoying the process of fatherhood way to much and my reply was always the same,"Becoming a father to Hailey's and my child was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire years of existence." Though the pregnancy made Hailey act up and become easily irritated with everything including me, I didn't mind. I loved every single moment of it and because of that, I now had a journal where I document each day of her pregnancy. Her food cravings, her likes and dislikes and so much more.Another thing about Hailey was that the pregnancy made her conscious of her body. She'd stand in front of a mirror and comment on how fat and out of shape sh
CARTERHailey's behaviour left me worried as this was the first time I had seen her this way. After she threw up, I couldn't help but notice how deathly pale she looked and the fact that she didn't touch her food made me scared.I found it difficult to concentrate as my mind thought of several reasons as to why she looked pale. Perhaps was she sick with a deadly, incurable disease? Due to how deep in thought I was, I didn't notice when Xavier walked in, until he placed a document on my table and muttered, "Earth to Carter.""Oh" I looked at him, "When did you come in?""Not long ago," He replied, taking a seat, "What's on your mind?""Hailey," I replied."What about her?" He asked curiously."I think she's sick.""Why do you have that thought?""Because for the first time ever, she threw up and she looks pale," I sighed, "and when I asked her, she said it's that time of the month. I think she's trying to hide something from me," I placed my elbow on the table and rested my head on it
HAILEYMy relationship with Carter had improved considerable after the honeymoon proposal. We barely argued and we did everything together. He was the sweetest and the most perfect man for me. I had gotten used to his sweet side which he only used for me alone.Carter and I stood in the kitchen, which had become a regular witness to our intimate sessions. But that wasn't the point. We were baking a bread together for breakfast and we were waiting for it to be ready."Do you think it'll come out great?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. Carter was a great good and I envied him for that quality."Of course," He smiled, "Whatever I whisk up must come out delicious. Chefs kiss" He folded his fingers, brought it to his lips and kissed loudly.I rolled my eyes at him with a smile on his face, "Narcissist," I muttered."It'd be a waste to be this good and not show it off, you know that right?"I threw an ugly face at him and he laughed. "Don't tell me you're jealous?" He wrapped
CARTERI stood and stared at the vast expanse of greeny before me.Xavier had told me before hand about Temmy asking me to lead her pack.I knew what she was worried about.Temmy was capable of ruling, but the fear of the Innocent people having to suffer if any mischief came up was the issue.I'd been thinking about it for a while and I decided to finally say it to Xavier.A combined honeymoon, Carter and Hailey, Temmy and I.However we'd have to leave that pack and although the peace was all settled, it'd still take a lot of arrangements to make for a trip like that. "Xavier,"I called from behind as he walked towards me."What are you doing here," I asked and shook my hands." Thank you for accepting Temmy's offer," he thanked and he gave a stoic response."I've something to suggest Xavier," I began and he turned to look at me Interestedly." What is it that you've in stock," he asked as I kept mute."A combined honeymoon," I said and he stood shocked before finally getting a grasp
TEMMYI lay down on my bed, reminiscing about the relationship between Xavier and me.I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts to no avail, they consumed me whole.I'd been thinking about it the whole day, our relationship, my relationship with him.It felt even more different after the incident that happened last.When he told me that he loved me, I felt my heart thump rapidly but it thumped harder when I saw him losing consciousness in my arms.A Small part of me wanted to stop but I couldn't, I struggled harder to stop the rampage Inside of me.But despite all this, he didn't stop holding, despite the chances that it could be his last chance of survival.A thought clicked in my mind, I'd marked Xavier and he had as well, but I had no memories of doing so.Love was sweet and I ran my hands through the mate mark on my body, smiling like a Cheshire cat to myself.The small date, little Jabments of PDA when we both hadn't confessed our feelings to each other, the thrill that came wit
HAILEYMy face burned bright red as I realized what I had just done. "Uhm," I coughed awkwardly, "I..I didn't mean it like that" I tried to come up with an excuse but it didn't seem like Carter bought it."There's no need to retract your words, Hailey." He chuckled deeply, a sound that shamelessly made me want to clench my legs together.I was short of words so I decided to keep mute. Since I met Carter, I have never felt as needy as I felt at that moment and the most surprising thing was that I wasn't under any kind of spell that made my senses become heightened."Do you want me to fuck you or not," Carter asked, staring deep into my eyes, "Tell me you don't crave me as much as I do and I'll turn around and walk away, pretending that this conversation didn't take place."I swallowed the bundle of nerves that had formed in my throat. Of course I wanted Carter. I wanted him to do all sorts of wicked things he could come up with to my body. I wanted him to fuck me until I wouldn't be a
HAILEYI hadn't spoken to Carter since the fight. We just acted like we couldn't see ourselves, we just went about ignoring each other.I tossed around on the bed unable to fall asleep due to the pain of my injuries. I sighed for the umpteenth time as I sat up on the bed, thinking of a way to distract myself from everything.Finally, I decided that ice cream was the best option so I came down from bed and walked out of my room, heading downstairs.The living room was dark, only illuminated by the light coming from the kitchen. I contemplated going back to my room as I assumed Carter was in the kitchen but on a second thought, I walked further. The maids had probably forgotten to turn off the light.But I was wrong. A shirtless Carter stood by the kitchen counter, chugging down a bottle of water, his body on full display. I halted in my track, pondering on my next line of actions.I thought about heading back to upstairs to my room but just as I was about to drag my feet, Carter droppe
XAVIERAfter the chaos, we finally made it home. I towered over Temmy, watching her closely as she slept.She looked incredibly peaceful, a huge contrast to her earlier behavior. But I didn't blame her for that. It wasn't her fault. I could only hope that she was back to normal.Speaking of the incident, I reached for my neck, the exact place where Temmy bit me and absentmindedly caressed it. I wasn't sure if she realized that she marked me which was a way to stake her claim on me.I felt giddy that she remembered me even while struggling with demons. She choose me even while she wasn't in her right frame of mind. I could only hope and pray that she doesn't regret it because then, I wouldn't know how to act.I was glad that no substantial harm was inflicted on anyone as it would have made matters worst. Thinking back, Hailey suddenly crossed my mind so I left to check up on her but not before placing a kiss on Temmy's forehead.In Hailey's room, while she sat on the bed, Carter stood
