Kieran~~As soon as Bruno drove Lucille and me to school and we stepped down, I grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her toward an isolated part of the campus. She gasped dramatically and asked. "What's wrong? Where are we going?"I ignored her ranting until we got to the site. After looking around and confirming that no one was there, I turned my gaze to Lucille. "The night of the mating ceremony. Are you sure you didn't make any mistakes? Anything that could link the wolf-repellent powder back to us?" I asked with folded arms. Lucille snapped her brows into a frown before whispering in response. "Of course not. I followed your instructions perfectly. When I placed the powder in the drinks of the young males, I made sure they weren't looking. I even got rid of the remaining powder when I was done."I arched an eyebrow. I wasn't still convinced. "How? How did you get rid of the powder?"She squinted her eyes in confusion at first but eventually spoke. "I–I flushed it in the toilet
Finally, we got to Dad's mansion and stepped out. However, we were welcomed by a gathering of Dad and a few old men in front of the mansion. Even Ulmer stood outside, causing me to squint my eyes in suspicion."Lucille, go wait in my room," I uttered bluntly as I was about to move toward the group. However, the girl whispered to me before I could leave. "Why? Do you think they're gathered because of the investigations on the wolf-repellent powder?"My eyes twitched in frustration. I turned back to her and grabbed her close to my chest before whispering into her ears. "Could you stop talking about that in public? I swear, if they find out anything because of you I'll let you take the fall alone."I felt how her body shivered in fear under my hold. But I ignored that and continued. "Now be a good girl and go wait in my room or better yet, just head back to your house. Your presence is becoming way too much for my tolerance."I pulled away from her and smiled satisfactorily when she no
Dad and the Alpha council members didn't waste any more time and revealed how there had been even more rumors circulating about Jin's interactions with Nimue. The Alpha council members stressed how the rumors could bring down the Silverstein family name and also scolded Nimue for not following their orders by staying away from Jin and finding her mate. At that moment, I actually felt bad for her. Neither of us had yet to admit directly to each other that we were, in fact, mates. Things were way too complicated and I just couldn't accept the girl as my mate. I've been trying to get rid of her for so long... Not get her closer to me. And for the moon's sake, she was supposed to be my step-sister!Anyway, Jin assured the Alpha council that the rumors were nothing more than rumors and that he had no ill intentions toward Nimue. The bastard! He's nothing but a two-faced liar! Wasn't he the same one who admitted in front of those human boys and me that Nimue was his 'girl'? What was tha
Warning: Mature Content aheadI groaned silently in frustration as I watched Jin leave. As for Scratch, he grunted in annoyance inside my head. "I have a bad feeling about that guy around our mate."I sighed in response. "You think? Whatever, it's her life and her decision."However, Scratch snapped. "No, she's OUR mate and you should quit being a pussy and claim her already before it's too late."I blinked in confusion. Where was this attitude coming from?I chose to ignore him and took the back entrance, heading for my room. Just then, I remembered that Lucille would be waiting for me upstairs and groaned. Maybe I should send the bitch home cause, damn, I need space to clear my head, and Lucille's ranting might just add to my headache. However, nothing would've prepared me for what I saw when I opened the door to my room."Oh, it's just you." Lucille turned her head to me with a smirk as she loosened her grip on the white towel that covered her body. The towel gave a view of her
I shook my head in a bid to get Nimue off my mind. This wasn't about her!Meanwhile, Lucille purred like a dog in heat as she arched even further, revealing all her assets. "Come on, Kieran. What's taking so long?" She moaned, not in pleasure, but in frustration. Was this what I, Kieran the magnificent, has been reduced to? No woman I'd been with had ever complained about me being anything other than divine in bed. Knowing Lucille and her big mouth, if I didn't live up to my title in bed, she might gossip about me to her friends and before you know it, the whole school would be aware of this. I drew in a deep breath. Focus Kieran. I opened my eyes and walked up to Lucille, spanking her ass before she could say another word. However, even with the jiggling of her ass and her excited moan, I still didn't feel drawn to fuck this girl. How could I tolerate Lucille as my fake girlfriend if I couldn't even enjoy the one thing that she was useful to me for?Anyway, Lucille looked back,
The days passed in school, but yet rumors about Nimue and Jin persisted, putting me at my wit's end. Between that and having to constantly pretend that Lucille was my girlfriend while navigating school life, I was losing it!Ever since our last encounter where she told me bluntly that I should leave her alone, Nimue had avoided me like a plague, both at home and in school. The Alpha council still had their eyes on her and Jin but they still went about in his car, driving to school every morning and heading back home. Worst of all was that Jin seemed to be visiting Dad's mansion more often than necessary and it was starting to get on my nerves, especially since I knew who he was always coming to visit. Anyway, today seemed to go like any other normal day in school. I stepped into the building after Bruno dropped me off, but luckily for me, Lucille hadn't tagged along.My gaze trailed through the classes as I searched for Lucille. I needed to discuss more about the Mating Ceremony a
Nimue~~The tension in the basement was almost palpable as Brock and his friends inched closer to me. Brock raised his hands, trying to assure me that they didn't mean any harm. But how did he expect me to believe that after he and his friends went behind my back to hurt Nadia simply to get information about me from her?I stood my ground, my gaze on the boys unwavering. "One more step and I promise you I'll dislocate your jaws. Trust me, I'm not bluffing." I warned. Or maybe I was bluffing. Last time, these four had almost disfigured my face with a cup of hot coffee. I couldn't afford to let my guard down around them, even though they were humans. Meanwhile, Nadia, who stood there silently, finally found the courage to speak out. "N– Nimue, it's okay. I'm okay. Let's just go before –"However, I held up my hand and shook my head. "Not now, Nadia."I honestly didn't want to get her more involved than she already was. If she wouldn't fight them because of her need to feed, I'd gla
I was beyond speechless. I held my breath as Kieran's face got closer to mine. His eyes trailed past my face as if he were searching for something. Suddenly, a fake cough from Nadia seemed to snap him out of his trance and brought me back to my senses. "What… What are you even doing here? I didn't need your help." I snorted, trying my best to divert my gaze away from him after stepping away. However, Kieran's eyes never left me, as he paused while looking at me. I couldn't help getting self-conscious while Luna howled inside me. "Just be grateful for once, Nimue! Look at him helping you out while you're here running circles around him."Woah, where did this attitude come from?Meanwhile, Kieran finally spoke up with a scoff. "Is that your way of saying thank you? By the way, humans? Seriously, what business do you have with them?" His eyes went from me temporarily to Nadia, who scratched her neck awkwardly. But I ignored him and Luna's nagging inside me and held Nadia closer to
