Fated Mates, Forbidden Love One Hundred And sixteen
Alexis King Craigislav's chauffeur drove us back to school. Craig tried as much as he could to erase any tension that was present from our interrupted sexual rendezvous and assured me that he'd be patient until I was ready. But I feared he'd stop liking me for not being able to satisfy his sexual needs. I couldn't get the guilt out of my head and decided to make it up to him one way or the other. Craig was a great guy. He was, kind, and extremely polite – and I loved every damn thing about him. Also, nobody made me feel butterflies in my belly like this boy did. The coming week flew past with lots of midterm tests and assignments and I barely had time to breathe. Everyone was looking forward to Thursday, our midterm break, a compulsory four-day holiday to rest after the series of tests bundled on us. Dad picked up Beverly and I. Ever since the fight, Beverly had been avoiding me and I noticed she'd also distanced herself from Craig. I was relieved she was out of my busines

Alexis I cautiously made my way back into the house, my heart pounding in my chest. It was almost three am when I arrived and I'd sprinted all the way from the deserted road, running in my beast form and hoping no stronger beast attacked me and snatched the staff of authority. Craig would hate me forever. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, urging me to move swiftly and silently. I breathed a sigh of relief when I passed the security guards at the gate. The half-awake guards flashed their lights at me, surpirsed but not asking questions much to my relief. "Please don't tell my dad I snuck in this early. He'd be pissed," I said to Roger, the chief security officer at the pack house. He grunted a response and I walked away. I couldn't risk my dad seeing me. He'd ask questions until he unraveled the truth. Clutching the staff tightly against my body, I tiptoed through the mansion, my senses on high alert. It made me uneasy, knowing how powerful the object was, but most importa

Alexis Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably, my worried gaze fixed on the floor as if searching for answers within its pattern. I couldn't control the emotions that pressed down on my chest. Tara crouched beside me in the bathroom, her storm-grey eyes filled with genuine concern. "I shouldn't have agreed to go to that damn nightclub," I sobbed. "This is all my fault." "No, Alexis. Don't blame yourself for anything. First of all, you're overthinking this. I bet Craig's fine " Sniffing loudly, I looked up at her. "Look how red and puffy your eyes are. You'll make people assume the worst, " she groaned, hugging me. "What if something happened to him? What if he's hurt?" I muttered between sobs. Tara sighed softly. "You're beating yourself up for nothing. Why don't we head back to the class? I'm sure Craig will show up soon." "I don't want to go to the damn class, " I snapped, wiping my cheeks. "I want to see Craig. " "You will," she smothered my hair and wiped my tears

Alexis Throughout the morning run, I couldn't concentrate on anything. My heart pondered, wondering what mystery was behind Craig's strangeness. His indifference and detachment messed up my head. He neither returned my calls nor texts and hadn't bothered asking about the staff of authority up till now. His father's source of power. Our sadist trainer's roaring voice pulled me out of my trance. He pushed us to our limits, forcing us to take several laps and yelling like a banshee. My legs scrambled into motion, running past the sturdy oak trees. My lungs burned and I crashed to a halt. Something was wrong with Craig. I could feel it in my heart. His eyes didn't rake boldly over my body like I was the only one that mattered, or like he was photographing me to his memory The sooner I found out, the better it would be for me. Tara grew increasingly concerned last night when I didn't touch my dinner. Despite counting sheep, tossing, and turning like a child with the flu, I didn

Alexis My feet in their motion rushed to Craig. He turned around, annoyance plastered on his face. Beverly seemed confused, like she didn't know what she was doing. Taking a deep breath, I mustered all my composure, speaking with the calmest voice I could muster. "What's going on, Craig? Why are you with Beverly? Am I missing something here?" Craig's brows furrowed, his indifference cutting through me like a knife. "I don't understand what you're talking about." The more he acted unaffected by all of this the more my heart sank. I'd never witnessed such a shift in anyone before. "What do you mean you don't understand? You're not even talking to me!" He remained mute and I cupped his face with my hands, hoping that whatever prank or spell that was cast on him would clear and my Craig, the one who loved me, would return. Tears threatened my eyes but I wiped them off with my palm. "Please stop this, I beg you. We have a lot to talk about… " He brushed my hand away from his face.

Alexis I sat in the library, toying with a calligraphy pen and pricking my thumb with the metallic nib. I had so many tests and exams coming up, but I couldn't bring myself to concentrate. All the words in my textbooks became blurry lines. I tried everything I could, from taking long walks from one end of the school to another, practicing mindfulness exercises that Tara had introduced to me, and even wearing more makeup and dressing better, which Tara felt could attract Craig back to me. None worked. Craig never looked at me more than once, and I stopped everything altogether when that bitch Ivy mocked me when I wore a stupid tank top that revealed my stomach. I didn't know what to do anymore, or even who to tell. This was getting stranger by the day, and I knew that Craig wasn't joking when he rejected me. But it bothered me that he hadn't asked about the staff of authority that was in my custody. And from the look of things, he didn't seem like he was planning to. I had no

Alexis The weekend dragged on, and I remained in a haze, nursing my heartbreak. I held onto hope that Craig would come back to his senses and return to the person I once knew and fell in love with, rather than the stranger who was determined to break my heart. Meditation and taking walks had failed to calm me, so I discovered that the only thing that could provide solace was chocolates. I consumed them in various forms: bars, truffles, spreads, hot chocolates, and beverages. They became my new companions, helping me drown my sorrows. Tara's suggestion of sending an anonymous email to Katana lingered in my mind. It sounded like a plan, but it could either be a hit or miss. Beverly would eventually involve herself, and I knew I had to be careful to avoid backfiring. I kept to myself, avoiding participating in conversations at the dinner table, thankfully going unnoticed. My dad and Katana were in a good mood, engaging in lively conversation and laughter. My dad's hands would wand
Fated Mates, Forbidden Love One hundred and twenty three
Alexis Tara and I sat side by side on the bed, our eyes fixed on the luminous computer screen. I was hesitant to send the email to Katana unearthing Beverly and Craig's relationship. I had run short of making excuses, trying to deviate from this matter. Uneasy as hell, I stared blankly at my screen. "Come on, Alexis. Don't be a coward," Tara slurped her banana milkshake, making the freshly blended bananas and dairy fill my nostrils. "You know you want to do this." "I do," I bit my lip, uncertain about all of this. "I just don't want to get into trouble. My dad will find out about me and Craig and kill me." She raised her hands, annoyed. "Well then, I'm going to bed." "No, no, wait," I grabbed her arm. "Come on, don't be stubborn." "If you don't want to send it, it's fine." I groaned loudly. "Oh, Tara…" "I'm tired of listening to excuses. Maybe you should watch Beverly and Craig love up in your presence." "I don't want that." "Then send the damn email to your step-mum." My

Alexis "Shit. That was close. He rasped out, his eyes glowing like a wildcat's and bulging with fear. "These bastards are mean and are out for us." "What are we going to do?" I said to Craig with my voice trembling. Craig grimaced, glancing outside the window, and swallowed hard, trying desperately to form coherent words. "I have no idea. But we have to stay here for now and run for our lives when this blows over. It's only a matter of time before they find us." "Fuck," Zarek winced while I paced frantically. Zarek broke the silence. "Are these buildings connected? They could destroy innocent lives while searching for us." "We need help," I said with every fiber in my body trembling nonstop. "We cannot do this on our own. They have outnumbered us." Craig turned to face me, his face congested with fear "Alexis, you have to stay here for now. I don't want you to get hurt." "Stay here?" I gasped, my eyes doubling in size. "Are you kidding me? I can't and I won't leave your si

Alexis My heart was racing so fast. I heard Craig and Zarek coming up, and I composed myself, watching them enter the room, laughing. Craig came to my side and knelt in front of me, kissing my stomach, and Zarek looked away. "How do you feel now? Better?" Craig said, concerned. I shook my head in a no, and Craig frowned. "Do you want me to get you something?" I got on my feet. "Craig, I called my dad," I blurted. "He thinks we are not safe, and is on his way to get me." Craig cursed under his breath. "We need to leave," he said firmly. "I don't trust your dad." "Come on, Craig. My dad may be an enemy to you, but he's my father. He's going to help us." Just as I made that statement, we heard a commotion downstairs, as if a riot was taking place. My heart skipped so fast. "Did you hear that?" I whispered to Craig. My breathing became raspy, and my lips trembled with fear. "I think they are here," Craig trembled and grabbed the bag where the staff was. Zarek rushed to the windo

Alexis Dora had warned us to be very careful and lay low because Dimitri had informants everywhere. It was even dangerous for us to call her, as Dimitri could trace the call and hurt her. Craig couldn't sleep and kept thinking the worst. Zarek joined us the next day and my thoughts were filled with self-loathing and the nagging urge to ask for my dad's help tugged in my heartstrings. But it was very unlikely that my dad, a werewolf, would help Craig and the vampire king. The possibility was almost impossible. He was never going to hand that staff to me. I could sense the frustration in Craig's eyes. He was like a locked-up bull, searching for a means of escape. He had stopped smiling, answering questions with minimal responses, and kept sighing constantly. He seemed to prefer talking to Zarek more than me, and that infuriated me because he made me feel like I had betrayed him in some way. And he poured out his frustration when I asked Dora how Oliver was doing. "I've warned

Alexis Craig's lips kissed my throat up before capturing my lips, and our breaths fused into our mouths. I was in divine ecstasy, and my wolf almost threatened to come out of my body. Our kiss was raw, rough, sloppy, and filled with weeks of longing and a mountain of passion. He went hard, soft, then hard again, and I had no desire to back out. Burying my hands into his thick hair, I let him scoop me up, nibbling his lips. Our kisses were messy because of my tears and the world disappeared around me. I pulled away, staring into his eyes with so much love. "I can't believe I'm seeing you. I hope someone doesn't wake me up if this is a dream." "It's me," he said. His voice thickened with emotion. "I'm here in flesh and blood." A comfortable silence settled between us and we exchanged glances, smiling. His gaze was mad with lust and molten desire, and a raging beast of need was in his eyes. "I dreamt of this day for weeks,"he whispered, kissing my neck and making my knees loosen.

Alexis One week later My heart pounded like a frightened bird, racing to escape, as I ran through the night. The darkness was consuming, making the hairs on my nape raise with raw fear, but I moved swiftly along, ignoring my rising panic. Oliver confessed to Dora and agreed to help us. I was heading to a vampire coven, so I couldn't shift into my wolf. Several nasty thoughts kept flying in, causing me to get frightened beyond measure, but I put a fire under my feet, attempting to lighten my mood with the hope of seeing Craig tonight. "I'll see Craig tonight," I chanted like a mantra. I hastened because it was almost midnight. The hotel Oliver recommended didn't seem to be popular. I stopped to take a breath when I began seeing spots in my vision and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath to regain control. A stray cat darted behind me, sending chills down my spine. I sighed in relief when I burst out onto a surprisingly busy street with half-naked girls and men who couldn't walk

Alexis I edged closer to Dora until our eyes met. Dora held her head high and a broad smile graced her lips.My curiosity heightened, wondering what she wanted from me, considering that we had only met once. There was only one way to find out, but something in me suspected Craig sent her, but why would he when we’d gotten back together? "Hi," I formed a cheeky smile, hugging her. "What a surprise to see you here." "Hello, Alexis, right? I can never forget your name, considering how my boy never stops gushing about you," she said and hugged me back. When she pulled away, she stared at me with kind, observant eyes. The clouds darkened and it began to drizzle."You might want to come into the hall," I said to her. We found a secluded corner in the empty hall and sat opposite each other. Silence settled on us like mist, filling the air. I waited for her to speak but she didn't, making me uncomfortable. "Does Craig know you are here?" I managed to say. She let out a soft chuckle
Fated Mates, Forbidden Love One Hundred And Thirty five
Alexis Confusion was an understatement for how I felt right now. My spirit was in chaos. I couldn't believe that Craig had asked me for my forgiveness and wanted me back, even though I ended up whacking his face, which I had the right to, after all, he'd put me through. Something was off, no doubt. Yet, I couldn't deny that I still loved him. Our brief relationship brought me back to life in ways I'd never imagined. I lay on Tara's bunk, staring off into mid-distance at the star design on her ceiling, lost in thought. I didn't want to be involved in a game of back and forth where I would be easily swayed by Craig's seduction. I wasn't that stupid. Tara didn't see a big deal in Craig wanting to come back to me. "It was bound to happen," she chuckled, scooping the last of her vanilla ice cream."I know you don't see it that way, but I knew his relationship with Beverly was not going to last." "I'm not buying that bullshit," I sighed. "I know something triggered him to ask for my f

Craig Days and nights passed, and I was still trapped in Bloodline Manor like a helpless butterfly, but I had completely healed and grown stronger. My desperation grew by the second. I wondered what was going on in the outside world. Dimitri hadn't come to threaten me in days. For sure, he was surely up to something sinister. My only companion was a damn diary where I scribbled all my plans to escape, waiting for the perfect time to hatch my plan. I was staring at a cow giving birth. The mother lay exhausted on the ground after pushing her calves far enough out. She was too weak to stand and the smell of its dung and blood was strong enough to kill, but the cows were the only distractions I had because I was so close to going insane. I loved video games and being with my phone. Not having that luxury was killing me. My ears perched when someone knocked on my door. "It's open," I said flatly. Anna, who was the only innocent person in this manor because she had no idea I was s

Oliver I winced, rubbing my stinging cheek. The force of Alexis's slap remained. I deserved it for being so stupid to think she'd jump on me like a lovestruck puppy after I asked for her forgiveness or be easily manipulated without questioning me. Rooted on the spot, I watched her walk away, cursing under my breath. The girl was petite but bold and hostile. Thanks to that bastard, Dimitri, I'd received an unwarranted slap. My shoulders sagged like a deflated balloon. Dimitri forced me to gather information from Craig's friends, including his girlfriend, about the staff of authority. I had two days to come up with something, and the consequences of not getting sufficient information would be brutal. But how could I ask them a string of questions without them becoming suspicious? Craig's friends, especially Zarek, were discerning and were beginning to sniff my fakery. It was a miracle that I hadn't gotten caught at this point. "Oliver, you're a man. I didn't raise you a coward!"
