View MoreXADENI couldn't let it happen. This was my mate. How could I let her be with another man when she was supposed to be mine. I knew this was hurting her. But it had to happen. The thought of Jeremy married to her… She'd be his in name and he'd have rights to her body. She’d spend her nights in his bed, his ring on her delicate finger, his hands on her porcelain skin…“Fine,” I snapped, harsher than intended. She flinched but I couldn't hold back anymore— it was hard to stop a rushing dam once it's been broken. “If that's how you want to play it, Soraya, then you've forced my hand.” I bit out the remaining words, my voice ice-cold and detached— the calm facade I'd carefully built had begun to crack. “I'll have my people draw up a petition for the council. I will ensure your so-called wedding is postponed, and eventually canceled. And Jeremy can definitely expect a summons from the council soon enough.” I wasn’t going to let that marriage happen. No matter how much she thought it was so
XADENI had her right where I wanted her. But damn it all, why did she have to look so good? Standing there all disheveled and soft and so early in the morning at that. I knew she'd just woken up since I’d made sure to show up early. I needed the upper hand for what I’d decided to do and I knew catching her off guard was the best place to start.My eyes lingered as they traveled over her frame— the way her tousled hair cupped her face and her lips parted in surprise at the sight of me. I could relate, but I doubt my surprise was unpleasant— unlike hers.Still, I hated the way my breath caught in my throat at the sight of her.It grated at me that Jeremy— that bastard— had gotten to see her look this way every morning for the past few years. My blood boiled at the thought, but I kept my expression neutral. It took everything I had to school my features into a blank mask when all I wanted was to pummel that son-of-a-bitch into the ground. But I reigned it in because soon enough, she’d b
SORAYAXaden stood there, casually leaning against his car like he hadn’t turned my entire world upside down. The sight of him made my stomach burn. His arms were crossed over his chest. The morning light slashed across his face, cutting sharp angles on his jaw. His gaze pierced mine, making my throat squeeze together. I swallowed hard, feeling dryness scrape down my throat. My mouth felt parched, my lips tight. He wore a blue shirt and white pants, looking like he just stepped out of a country club. The outfit gave him a preppy, put-together look that screamed old money.Why did he have to look so damn good? Why did he have to make me feel like this, even now? I hated the way my body reacted without my permission, my pulse quickening, my chest tightening. There was this flutter in my chest. And his gaze made my skin feel warm and fuzzy. But I shouldn't feel this way. I couldn't.I wanted to flee, to turn around, run back into the house, hide away from these feelings, from him. But my
SORAYAThe second I saw the guard standing there, my heart nearly burst out of my chest.Xaden? He was here? What was he doing here?My breath caught in my throat and I took a glance at my child, I instinctively pulled Kaylee closer to me, her body pressing against mine. He's here to take her away. I can't let him take her. I turned on my heel, heading upstairs, but stopped in my tracksWait.He already knew I had a daughter.What was I supposed to do? Even if he did, I couldn't just let him take her, especially if he knew the truth. My feet felt glued to the floor. I turned to face the guard. His expression was as stunned as mine. For a moment, I couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe. My stomach twisted, my hands shaky, and my legs felt wobbly.“Send him away,” I finally blurted out, my voice tight and trembling at the same time. “Tell him I’m not home.” I nodded for him to leave, but he didn't budge. I watched as his eyes flickered back to mine then away. His breath caught, and he hesi
XADENDax, my private investigator stammered, "Y-yes, Alpha Xaden. I'll try.""Try? You'd better do more than try. You’d deliver!" I squeezed the phone so hard it creaked, the plastic digging into my flesh. I kept squeezing, crushing the phone in my hand, the device shattering into pieces. I smashed what was left of it against the wall, the remains flying across the room.I would stop at nothing to get what I needed. Nothing.I sat on the floor, my back against the bed. A knock reached my ears. It kept probing, but I couldn't will myself to answer it. My eyes traveled around the room, landing on the plastic pieces scattered on the floor. Hell, I was going to need a new phone.I dialed the telephone, at the bedside table. “Hello, I need a phone. Any phone will do," I said. "Just make sure it works."As I waited for the phone to arrive, I got up and walked over to the wall where my previous phone had met its demise. I gazed down at the scattered pieces, my eyes scanning the floor unt
XADENAfter two years, I saw her. She saw me. That really just happened, didn't it? I couldn't believe my eyes, when I stared at her. I refused to believe my eyes. Only minutes ago, I had shamelessly longed for her. I was the sailor longing for a lady who wasn't even lost at sea. She wasn't lost. She had a freaking family. It was clear that I had been a fool. Now, I was stone cold sober."How could she do this to me?" I thought, my mind racing with millions of questions per minute "How could she have a child with my enemy, of all people? And be with him, when we hadn't even properly ended things between us? How could she just leave me like that, without even a word of explanation?I couldn't take my eyes off her, even though every fiber of my being screamed at me to turn away. I had to stop looking. I whipped my head, turning around. I slammed my fist on the table, making the glasses rattle. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. I couldn't return to that meeting, not now. I neede
SORAYAJeremy nodded, picking up Kaylee as he spoke. "Xaden has been away for two years," he explained. "It only assumed he wouldn't be here this year either,” he paused, fighting back a small smile creeping to his lips, a smile that warmed my heart. “Which was why I thought it was a good idea for you to join me as my date this year."A smile spread across my lips, but was soon stolen away by a torrent of worrying thoughts. What did Xaden want? Why was he here?Jeremy reached for my hand, slowly caressing it. “I'm sorry. I had no idea he would show up. I wouldn't have brought you here if I knew."I shook my head, my eyes meeting his. "It's not your fault.” Then, I grabbed Jeremy's arm and whispered urgently, 'But Jeremy, we need to leave. Now."Jeremy nodded in understanding, giving my hands a soft squeeze. He offered a customary handshake to the people whom we had been sharing a table with. “I’m so sorry, but we have to leave.” Pleasantries were exchanged, and Jeremy rested Kaylee'
SORAYAI sipped my fizzy drink, the bubbles tickling my nose, when Ava appeared at a distance. Her eyes scanned the room. Then, they locked onto mine, and her expression turned serious. She mouthed the word, "emergency"My mind went blank as I stared at Ava, my thoughts racing. Something was wrong. Oh God, was it the baby? Was Ava going into labor? I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I quickly set my drink down.I followed Ava through the throng of people, the music growing fainter as I approached her. Ava's long hair swung as she turned to face me. For a moment, I studied Ava's face. As I looked at her, my heart calmed. She didn't look like she was in labor. Her face wasn't contorted in pain, and her eyes didn't have that frazzled look I'd seen in pregnant women about to give birth. Whatever was wrong, it didn't seem to be about the baby's arrival. Yet, the worry in Ava's eyes told me something was still off."Kaylee's been wandering off all night," she said. "I've had to chase af
XADENI nursed my drink, the liquid warming my palms as I gazed into the crowd, all up in my head, trying to drown my sorrows. I felt a nudge below the stool. At first, I thought it was just the nail on the stool that was catching my trousers, so I shifted my leg to adjust my position. But then, I felt the tug again - a gentle tug on my trousers. I looked down, annoyed, expecting to see a stray thread and misplaced nail. And that's when I saw her - a small, curious face peeking out from beneath the stool, her big green eyes gleaming, a little smile gracing her lips. She was the one tugging on my trousers.I placed my cup back on the table, my mind foggy from the alcohol. I glanced around the room, scanning the sea of faces to see if anyone was missing their little one. How did this kid even end up here? Who would be so irresponsible to let their child wander around in a setting like this? The bar was no place for a kid, with its loud music and rowdy patrons.My gaze returned to the k
