Susan breathed in deeply as she repeated the words in her head again and again. She was going to face Ethan today. She had thought hard about it for the past two days. She couldn't accept him as her mate, Susan never wanted a mate in the first place and Ethan was the type of guy she hates the most. A complete flirt and a playboy. It would be better for both of them if they reject each other. Susan could let things be just as it is. But she had issues. She couldn't perform simple daily life tasks properly when something was eating her brain. And currently, Ethan was on her mind 24/7. She couldn't even concentrate on her studies while her exams were right around the corner. Susan parked her car outside his restaurant. She just hoped he would be there or else she had to drop by another day just to meet him. Susan made her way into the restaurant as the manager greeted her. He recognized her as one of Ethan's close friends as she had come here with April and Jason. "Ma'am please this
Susan reached home and stomped into her room. Her mother was at work. She was a nurse so she often has shifts at different times and whenever she leaves, she'll make sure to leave a sticky note on the fridge informing her about her schedule. Susan trudged into her room and slammed the door shut with force. She clenched her fists and tried not to scream in rage. The nerve of him to corner her like that. She wants to slap him to death. That Moron. Jerk. Bastard. She plopped on the bed face first and punched the pillow multiple times thinking that it was Ethan's face she was hitting. Something moved on her arm as she glanced to find the bracelet that he had put on her. Sitting up straight she took it off and threw it at the wall in anger as it fell on the floor with a light clink. Her phone dinged and she checked it was the reminder about her online article which she had to submit before twelve. She grumpily got up and got to work. Her mother wanted to handle all the expenses of her
"Susan, bring Ethan here, I've set the table," He was taken off guard by Blair's sudden voice. Taking advantage of that Susan pushed off him as she stumbled to her feet and quickly moved away from him while glaring daggers in his way. "You better follow me," She gritted before stomping into the kitchen which was big enough to have a small four-seater dining table on the side. Susan grumpily took her seat and started eating her cold food while her mother served warm pancakes to the jerk sitting to her right. Blair sat opposite Susan as she initiated the conversation with Ethan. "So when did you guys find out you are mates? On her birthday or some other day?" Blair asked. "On her birthday. While I was handing her her birthday present under the moonlight. It was a beautiful sight," He said with twinkling eyes and Blair beamed at him but then she gave a side eye to Susan. Which meant she needed an explanation after Ethan would leave. "That's beautiful," Blair commented as they quietl
"Good riddance. I'm gonna sleep the whole week," Susan grinned and April smiled at her. They just stepped out of the exam Hall after their last exam. "Same. I couldn't even sleep a blink. I even pulled night shifts for good grades," April said. "As if Jason would let you sleep," Susan mused, wiggling her brows, earning a shocked gasp from April as she slapped her arm playfully. "What? I could bet you deprived him of all the love in the past week. He would jump you as soon as you get home-" April clamped her mouth shut while glaring at her. "Stop," She grumbled and Susan raised her hands in surrender as April let her go. "Enough of me. Tell me about yourself. How are you doing? I know you must have a lot on your mind. If you want to share, I'm always here," April said gently as Susan sighed, rubbing a hand down her face. All the problems came back to her with full force and the basic core of her problem was Ethan. "He showed up at my house two weeks back. He told my mom he's my m
Ethan had done a background check on Susan. He knew it was wrong but he just wanted to know why she loathed men so much and what he found out was unexpected. Her father had left her mother when she got pregnant with their first child. He fell in love with another woman and for that woman, he left his mate who was Susan's mom. When Susan grew up a little she used to ask about her father because all of her friends had a father except for her. At first, her mother used to tell her that her father had been working abroad and would come back one day but years passed and he never returned. She was in high school when she dug up her father on her own and found out what happened. She then confronted her mom who told her the truth and ever since then, she hated men to the core. If Susan found out that Ethan got such sensitive information about her life she would kill him for sure so it was better for him not to let her find out that he knows all of that. Now he knows how he had to deal wi
Susan stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was donning a beautiful black dress that clung to her upper body and flowy from the waist below. It reached just under her knees. She had tied her hair in a ponytail and did some smokey eye makeup. Just a little bit and it looked good on her. Grabbing her clutch she posed in front of the mirror. She looked so girlish. Susan rolled her eyes with a sigh. Today they were having dinner at Ethan's restaurant. Blair was the happiest when Susan told her she had decided to give him a chance and also he had invited them over. Blair did shopping and now Susan had no choice but to wear the dress and get ready. Blair knocked at the door before she peeked in. A wide smile caressed her lips upon seeing Susan. "You look gorgeous," Blair said happily. Grabbing her arms she looked at her daughter up and down, her eyes turned misty. "Mom," Susan exclaimed. "I'm not getting married. Chill up," Susan tried to cheer her up as she hugged her. Blair hu
The dinner went by smoothly. Blair and Ethan talked a lot. It was obvious Blair liked Ethan. She was happy for her daughter while Susan on the other hand was still trying to overcome the fact that she was willing to give him a chance. Ethan requested to drop them but Susan told him she had brought her car. They said their goodbyes and they went home. Throughout the ride, Blair continued to talk nonstop about Ethan. At home, they retired to their rooms. Susan put her right knee on the edge of the bed before dropping face-first on the mattress and sighing. It was such a long day. She felt tired. Susan won't deny the fact that the food at his restaurant was amazing. Though she was barely talking to him, she was prying on his conversation with her mom. She recalled him saying that he loves cooking. She wonder which recipes he made. Susan changed into her comfy clothes and got into bed. A yawn escaped her lips as she scrolled through her phone and checked tomorrow's schedule at univ
Penelope glared at the arm wrapped around Susan's waist before she glanced up at Ethan who was peering at frowning Susan. "Yeah, whatever," Penelope muttered, gaining their attention. "I'm Penelope," She beamed, stepping closer to his side. "If you ever need company..." She trailed off, smiling mischievously at him. Ethan smiled, returning her gesture. "I'm happy with the girl here, now if you'll excuse us. We have to go," Ethan said rather sternly as he turned around. Opening the door for Susan he helped her in and closed the door before getting on the driver's seat. He put the car to drive and watched from the rearview mirror how Penelope stomped on the ground and walked to her group of friends. "Why did you lie to her?" Susan bombarded him with the first question. "Then what do you expect me to tell her? We are mates? She's a human." Ethan said calmly. "You could've said anything else." She fumed. "Susan. She was hitting on me. Even though I told her I'm your boyfriend
Five years later! "Mwommy, can I go play outside?" Little Ava asked while tugging at April's dress and looking up at her mother with those big blue eyes. "Alright, honey but promise me you won't get your clothes dirty. Uncle Leon and Ethan are about to be here any time," April said while adding chicken gravy to the pan. "Okay mwommy," Ava beamed excitedly before dashing out of there. Jason had installed a number of playful things in the backyard of their house for the kids. They love to play there all the time. Two minutes later a little munchkin Jonathan hobbled over to his mommy. He grabbed her dress tugging at it lightly. "Mowmmy, Jon wants to plway too," The three-year-old Jonathan pleaded with those big blue eyes. April smiled at her baby as she picked him up in her arms. "Sweety, you'll get your clothes dirty. Uncle Ethan is coming with Evan. He's bringing sweets for you," April said while motioning for the maid to take over. "Bwut mowmmy, Ava is plwaying outside," The li
Leon walked into the house with squared shoulders. His chest puffed out as if he owned the place. Antonio was sitting on the sofa as he stood up to meet him. Leon shook his hand before he took the seat opposite him. "Let's not waste time. I've heard from my daughter that you both want to be together," Antonio said. "Yes, you heard right. She's my mate and I want to make her my Luna." Leon said confidently. "Are you forgetting she's my daughter first? She's allowed to do what I order her to do." Antonio gritted angrily but Leon remained calm. He hated how her father talked about her. "She's not only your daughter. She's Julie Antonio who has alpha blood in her veins and is very capable of taking her title as the alpha of this pack. She's my mate no matter what. I won't allow you to wed her off to someone else." Leon said calmly as he inhaled her scent. His eyes snapped to the door and he found her standing behind the wall trying to stay hidden but he knew she was there listeni
Leon inhaled deeply resting his forehead on the steering wheel as he waited patiently. She was taking too long to walk out of the university. It was already past her clock out. His head snapped up when he inhaled her scent. His eyes fell on her beautiful frame as she walked out of the front gate in all her elegance. It was too risky of him to be there knowing that Jason could see him and Ethan has also frequently picked up his mate from the university. He waited for her to get closer and before she could hail a cab. He pulled over and her eyes fell on him. "Come I'll drop you," Leon said but Julie lightly shook her head. "That's not needed." She declined politely and he frowned. She has been ignoring him a lot recently while he wanted things to work between them. "Julie-""It's okay, I'll take the cab. Thank you," She said not looking at him and his jaw ticked. "Get in the car, Julie unless you want me to haul you up on my shoulder and toss you in the back seat. Now don't eve
"Susan," Jason started but she was solely staring at Ethan in disbelief. Susan couldn't believe her ears. So this was Ethan's plan all along. She stomped inside as he called after her but she didn't stop. Susan hurried into her room walking past Blair and April as she got inside her room and locked herself in. Susan stepped into the restroom. Grabbing the basin she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Bitter tears gathered in her eyes. There was a loud knock on the door followed by Ethan's voice. "Susan, let me in." Susan blinked as a tear slid down her cheek. So it was his plan all along to woo her She knew about it from the start. She knew he was trying to woo her because he wanted to sleep with her. But then the moon goddess made them mates. Susan breathed in deeply. She heard their conversation. She heard what Jason said and she also heard what Ethan answered him later. It was obvious Jason knew Ethan couldn't woo her that was why he even offered him that f*cking hea
Susan was beaming to herself when someone came beside her startling the life out of her as she jumped in her place. "Did I scare you?" April asked sheepishly, earning a scowl from Susan. "You sure did. What if I had a cardiac arrest huh-" Susan just started arguing when April let out a loud gasp, jumping on her. "No way," She exaggerated, making Susan frown. "What?" She asked confused as April gaped at her. "You guys marked each other," April exclaimed in wonderment and Susan's cheeks flushed. She quickly pulled the collar up. She had properly hid the mark but April surely had keen eyes. She noticed so quickly. "Did you complete your pharmaceutical assignment?" Susan asked casually. April raised a perfect brow at her. "You can't change the subject, honey. Now are you spilling the beans or do you want me to extract it out of you or Ethan?" April asked seriously, causing Susan's eyes to widen as she grasped April's hand. She closed her locker and dragged April out of there because
Ethan was wide awake as he lay there with her in his arms. Last night was the best night of his life and there was no doubt about that. He never thought that a mate bond could feel so beautiful. That a mate could change his life, his way of thinking.Her words kept raking his head again and again. She had confessed that she loved him but did he deserve her love? He didn't know. She was a precious little woman which made him want to protect her from the whole damn world.Susan stirred in her sleep as she rubbed her cheek on his chest to get comfortable but whined when she couldn't get comfy.Her hand unconsciously raked over his chest before she placed it under her cheek but that wasn't cozy enough for her cause she moved away from him giving her back to him as she cuddled in herself.Ethan frowned before he snaked his arm under her and pulled her back on his chest as he caged her in his steel-like arms. She whined in her sleep and tried to get free but it was impossible.Her eyes slow
He stilled inside her. He could burst right then and there but he controlled the urge, the veins in his neck were popping out at the intense control. "Susan," He rasped gently as her body slowly fell back on the bed and a sob tore through her lips. "It hurts," she whimpered as her nails dug into the flesh of his shoulder. Of course, it was hurting her. She was so tiny and he was well... Susan only ever heard how amazing it felt. Though she was grossed out by such info at that time, now she wanted but nothing prepared her for this pain. Ughhh! "I'm sorry, it was the less painful way," He rasped as he kissed her forehead and then both of her eyes one by one. He kissed her cheeks before his lips caressed hers and he kissed her gently. She was tense as a board. "Relax, Susan." He whispered while giving feathery kisses all over her neck. His gums tingled as canines extended out. His eyes darkened even more as his wolf peeked out. He tried to control this insane urge to mark her and
Her bosoms were right at his face as he inched closer. He licked his lips as his eyes were solely fixed on hers. Susan gulped as he pecked the swell of her right bosom.His tongue darted out as he licked around her nipple in a circle making hot sensations engulf her.His hands were settled on her bottom as he squeezed her rear causing her chest to rub against his lips. His hot breath fanned the valley of her breasts.The way he licked his lips as if he was going to devour a meal, made her heart stutter in her chest.His tongue licked her bud and played with it as she watched him, her breathing sparse.She breathed heavily when his mouth opened wide and his lips wrapped around her bosom. His tongue fondled her bud as he sucked hard causing her back to arch.She tried to free her hands so she could grab his hair but her arms were restrained and she was at his mercy as he devoured her bosoms."Ethan," She gasped when he slightly bit her nipple and then suckled on it. The sensations that
Susan stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was donning a beautiful black dress that clung to her body like a second skin. Her hair was in loose waves as she gazed at herself. She was looking gorgeous. This was the first time she had dressed up sexy. Her lips were painted a seductive shade of red. And the thick coat of mascara looked beautiful in her eyes. A loud honk from outside had her eyes snapping at the clock and it was exactly 8. Susan quickly grabbed her purse and coat, she hurried out locking the door. Ethan's jaw slacked at her perfect ass and when she turned around he was gobsmacked by her beauty. She looked drop-dead stunning. Susan hurried over to him as she took the passenger seat and he was so engrossed in checking her out, he completely forgot that he was supposed to open the door for her. "Close your mouth," She said with a light smirk and he closed his mouth, clearing his throat. "You look stunning. I need a breather please excuse me," With that sa
