AUTHOR As Bianca drove her car down the street, her mind kept going back to the conversation she had with Ethan, her boss. She sighed thinking of how she was going to have to bear dating him. She hit her hand on the steering wheel out of panic as she groaned loudly. Margaret watched her with interest and narrowed her eyes at her friend. She still couldn't believe that Bianca she knew could actually agree to what that man proposed to her. That meant whatever she was going through had such a great effect on her. “You really should take it easy on yourself, especially the poor car,” Bianca groaned at her words and threw her a glance before focusing her attention back on the road. She was already frustrated as it was so no need adding an accident to it. “I mean, dating Ethan wouldn't really be such a bad thing. After all, he's rich and handsome and you are single—” “Not when that single lady has her heart beating for another man.“ Bianca grunted, shaking her head as if she didn't w
PRECIOUS My throat suddenly felt so dry that I let out a loud cough and my body shook from the impact. My neck hurt as I turned my head and as I tried going back to my previous position, I felt a hand hold me back and I frowned. I struggled to get out of his grasp but the hands on my body were strong and firm. “Shhhh,” I heard him say, and I immediately relaxed. “Relax, else you cause more problems for yourself.” What was he talking about? I panicked and opened my eyes the next instant. I fluttered my eyelashes— as the blinding light from the window hit my eyes, before squeezing my eyes shut. I opened them after counting for five seconds and I looked into the eyes of my mate, no one of my mates. Nate watched me with a frown on his handsome face and from how close we were, I could feel my heartbeat getting wilder by the second. His hands which were holding me started to move slowly on my body and I felt a jolt of electricity course through my veins. “Whhh—” He cut me off fro
PRECIOUS “I told you that you wouldn't be able to run away from me, didn't I?“ A mocking voice whispered, its tone sending chills of fear down my spine and I spun around, my eyes flickering over the source of the voice. The voice belonged to a woman, her hair was let loose so that it fanned her tanned skin. A low, mocking laugh left her mouth and I felt my body shiver at the uneasiness it brought me. I open my mouth to say something but no words—not even one, left my mouth. My throat felt dry and I swallowed the small saliva that I had in my mouth to try to ease the dryness of my mouth. “I asked a question and I expect an answer from you, tiny mate.” She frowned, her dark blue eyes peering into my hazel ones. I wished my wolf would come out but it wouldn't—she had been feeling weak for a long time, longer than I'd remember, so I knew I was alone in this. Whoever this lady is—whatever her mission is, I don't know and I don't want to wait to find that out. As if I had no contro
PRECIOUS "No, no please. Aaahh!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, the sound echoing. My eyes flickered across the darkened room, attempting to discern any shapes, but I failed. The darkness seemed to seep into my heart. The air felt heavy as my rapid breaths filled the space, and the pungent scent of fear lingered in the stillness. I clutched the bedsheets, my fingers trembling as if desperately trying to anchor themselves to reality. I lifted my right hand ever so lightly and placed it on my chest, feeling the rapid thumping of my heart. It was beating wildly, as though chased by a racing train which was after its life. Slowly, I tried taking some deep breaths, trying to see if I could stop the wild race my heart was onto but it remained the same. I tried taking in my environment, my eyes scanning through the room but the darkness that ebbed through like a tide made it almost impossible. On an impulse, I arched my back backwards and reached over for where I knew the night l
TIGER I forced my eyes open to the sounds of a scream. I perched my ears up to hear more but everywhere suddenly became silent. The sound was similar, almost as though it belonged to my mate but I quickly dismissed the feeling. Although I was awake, I still felt reluctant to leave the comfort of my bed and the softness of my duvet. I sighed, shutting my eyes to try and fall asleep but it didn't work. I cursed the sounds that made me wake up at this ungodly hour, knowing that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep again. It seemed as though there was darkness that always welcomed me whenever I fell into the depth of sleep, making it impossible for me to see any other color. And I knew what brought it on. Ever since Rare died, my life seemed to have died with her. And what remained of me was only my body—because my soul died with her. Each time I woke up from having a nightmare, it always seemed to be like I was lacking in information concerning what I saw, because my mind would alw
PRECIOUS “Fuck!” I heard a loud curse, and relief surged through my body hearing the voice. I shut my eyes and leaned more into him, loving the comfort he was trying to offer. “Thank you,” I muttered, swiping my tongue over my lower lip to wet it because it had gone dry for lack of water. “How long did I stay unconscious?” I pulled away from him, opening my eyes as I took in him. His musky scent hovered in the air, basking me in the blanket of pleasure. I watched him me a confused look before he frowned. “forty eight hours, two days.“ He lifted his left pinky finger to his right eyebrow and scratched it. I nodded solemnly. “My tummy feels empty,” I stated the obvious, and he nodded in understanding. It was as if the milk I drank had opened the well of food in my tummy because I was now suddenly hungry. As if on cue, my tummy rumbled and I looked anywhere other than Tiger's face. He started to walk towards me, trying to close the distance I had created between us and I moved ba
PRECIOUS I was sitting in between Richmond and Nate in the sitting room, while the rest sat opposite us. The tension in the room was high and I linked my arms with the two of them. I laid my head on the chair and shut my eyes, trying to shut the pain away. I was still in pain over the loss of Rare but there was nothing I or anybody could do about it. Everyone had told me not to think about her again but you know people, they will never understand another person's pain unless they are in the same shoes. Even godmother Ruth had come to stay with us in the past three days, and I appreciated her comfort because since the loss of Rare, I had been craving for my late mom and she somehow filled that vacuum. “I hope you aren't thinking about...” Richmond stopped in mid sentence, knowing I'd understand what he wanted to say. And I did. I sighed. It was hard to let go. Just so difficult to forget the moments I had with her, her kicks and the joy she brought into my life. I shook my he
PRECIOUS No one said a word for a few seconds, and I'm sure the only sounds were the wild beating of our heart, because Alpha Rodriguez slowly rose to his feet, his eyes meeting his son's before he nodded to the guard. He followed the guard out and before he shut the door behind him. I glanced at Richmond who had his eyes on his Damon and nudged him. His eyes landed on mine and I searched them for answers to the questions I so desperately wanted to find. “Do you think?—” I left my words hanging, and from the knowing look he gave me I believed he understood. He shook his eyes, his eyes darkening for a fleeting second before they became clear once again. He reached over and grabbed my hands, his left thumb caressing on my back palm. Sparks flew over my body and I shivered, my heart beating as I wanted more. I could smell my arousal building up and I frantically looked up to find everyone's gaze on me. Oh fuck! When did I become so addicted to sex that every little thing...ev
