I pushed those thoughts aside, "Yes, thank you," *** When I awoke, I was cocooned in warmth. A soft weight nestled on my stomach, and as I stirred, my face brushed against something both plush and solid. "Marcus?!" His eyes blinked open, his hair tousled and his body radiating a disheveled allure. Shirtless, save for his trousers, he had draped one leg over mine, and his hand rested tantalizingly close to the underside of my breast. In an instant, he seized my arm and pulled me close, “Get back to sleep.” his grumbled in a low voice. Oh lord. The morning voice. I wasn’t prepared for this, but the man had the morning, low growl of a god. I stumbled, falling back onto the bed next to him, his strong arms enveloping me in a tight embrace. He nestled his head atop mine, holding me as if protecting a cherished treasure. But I forcefully blinked my eyes and gathered the strength to pull away. I pulled away, pushing against his chest and moving my body back. I snapped at him, m
Uncle Hector and I talked a little while we ate. He told me about sleeping in the side house reserved for him and the other high-ranking warriors. It was similar to the main pack house but more restricted since there were important things to protect. Once everyone was done, I was about to go back to my bedroom, but then I saw Marcus standing by the stairs, his eyes fixed on me. My heart throbbed, and I immediately turned around, heading to the couch. This man seriously needs a break. How can he still be so horny after spending the entire morning having sex with me? I heard his familiar footsteps behind me, and I didn't need to turn around to know it was him. I went ahead and sat on the couch, pretending to watch TV with some other girls and boys who were hanging out there. They were surprised to see me at first, but then they went back to their normal conversation. But within a few seconds, the conversations came to a complete halt. Confused, I turned my head to see what they we
Zach shrugged, "Sorry, important call. Please go outside right now. Alpha must be waiting for you." I glanced at the ceiling, silently wishing for the ground to swallow me. I had assumed Marcus had grown bored of me, not even bothering to come to my bed all night, perhaps spending his time with someone else. It left me feeling disappointed and used. Sighing, I looked away and made my way outside. Marcus's car stood there, and he sat inside, wearing his shades like a movie star awaiting paparazzi. Ignoring his presence, I walked past the car, refusing to acknowledge him at all. I reached for my phone to call Nyx for a ride when. Just as the phone touched my ear, a hand swiftly snatched it from behind. Startled, I turned around, my face contorted into a scowl. Marcus's handsome face glanced at my phone screen, quickly pressing the cancel button before returning it to me. I took it, but as soon as our hands touched, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the car. "Hey, stop it. I'm
Surprised, I turned to see Marcus standing right behind me, his gaze fixed on the man. The man immediately took a step back, bowing his head in respect. The other warriors straightened up, their alertness returning. After a minute, the man looked up again, addressing Marcus, "Alpha, the selection this wom—" "What she says goes. Do you have a problem with that?" Marcus's voice held an edge, his gaze piercing through the man. The man seemed on the verge of bursting a vein or two, his face turning bright red. He swallowed hard, shaking his head, and returned to the crowd behind him. As he looked up again, I met his eyes with a smug smirk, watching his anger intensify as the corner of his mouth twitched in frustration. Marcus and I made our way back to the car, driving off from the scene. After half a mile, Marcus stopped the car, and stepped out. Opening the car door, he pulled me out and pressed me against the vehicle. His body formed a protective cage around me, his hands grippin
I sniffled, my vision blurred by tears, and slowly lifted my head. Before me stood Ares, his hand tightly gripping the back of Stacy's neck. She appeared frightened, but she didn’t dare fight off his hold. The only word that escaped her lips was a breathless-"Alpha..." "What do you think you're doing?" Ares' voice was chillingly calm, but a storm raged in his eyes. I instinctively covered my exposed chest, realising my soaked white dress clung to my body, revealing my underwear. A broken sob escaped my lips and I quickly looked away, too ashamed to look at Ares. Fire blazed in Ares' eyes like never before, his anger consuming every inch of his face. He flung Stacy away without mercy, and she tumbled to the ground, her knees scraping against the rough surface, blood mingling with the rain. Ares seemed unfazed by her pain. Stacy, stunned and defeated, scrambled to her feet, her face a mask of disbelief as if she had been punched. "Alpha, she's not one of us. She's seducing Alpha
"Alpha Ares left the pack house an hour ago for Miss Daisy.” He replied. “She is hosting a charity event.”"Sorry, Daisy...?"Zach elaborated, "Daisy is his childhood friend. She has been friends with all the alphas since they were kids. They grew up together."The name Daisy flashed in my mind, and I recalled the call in the room that day. When Ares had kissed me the first time.It was probably the same Daisy.Zach continued, "Alpha Ares never misses any event hosted by her.”"Okay," I muttered, forcing a smile. "Thank you."
Every time he touched me, my body responded with a life of its own, and he acted as if it were nothing.I didn't want this to happen again. I was already drained from trying to handle his touch without overthinking about the relationship between us.Instead of withdrawing his hand, he threaded his fingers through my hair, caressing the back of my head and pulling my face closer to his own. His mouth descended on my skin, his tongue grazing the spot. His tongue traced a path along the sensitive spot, sending shockwaves through my body.I nearly lost my balance, my fingers clutching his hand for support, my nails inadvertently grazing the skin on the back of his head.His lips claimed my neck, teasingly grazing
The frustration faded in an instant but it was replaced by an even deeper disappointment."But you said you were coming," he muttered into the phone. "Is there really no way? Can't anything be done?"The girl on the other end spoke a few words to him, words I couldn't hear, but they brought more disappointment to his face."It's alright. I understand."He hung up the call, his face marked with a sadness I had never seen before. His eyes lifted up and met mine in the front view mirror and it was as if that’s when he suddenly remembered I was in the car too. A shadow of regret came across his face immediately.I sat upright, fixing my clothes. My
~Milli~The world spun around me in a whirl of chaos."Uncle… please… Wake up!" My voice trembled as I struggled against the grip that was crushing my neck.Panic clawed at my chest as his hold tightened, making it hard to breathe. His eyes blazed with a furious red, like he was trapped in a nightmare he couldn't escape. Those burning eyes felt like they were seeing right through me, as if he saw a stranger in my place.Blackness edged my vision, my strength waning. His grip was a vise, threatening to snap my neck any moment. Just as I teetered on the edge of losing consciousness, Marcus appeared out of nowhere. With a swift move, he wrapped his arms around my uncle's neck and yanked him ba
I wiped the blood from my nose as he picked up the call immediately."Daisy?"The voice on the other end spoke for a few minutes. His face grew paler with each passing second as he ended the call, then immediately rushed to his room."Ares!" I called after him multiple times, but he was already gone without even a glance in my direction.Struggling to my feet, I managed to get up. Soon after, Ares descended the stairs with a bag in his hands and hurriedly left the pack house. His face was ashen, as if he'd seen a ghost.I wasn't sure what was happening or what news he had received, but one thing was crystal clear: Daisy would always be his top priority, eve
His body stilled immediately as if I had hit him. I didn't even see his face when he abruptly detached from me and left the room without giving me another glance.Turning towards my bed, I buried my face in the pillow, tears soaking the fabric as my body shook with sobs.***"Milli, you're mated to Kai?" My uncle's voice echoed in my ears, a mix of surprise and concern evident in his tone. It brought back a sense of nostalgia but he was too far away for me to hug himI mustered a faint smile, attempting to infuse some cheerfulness into my voice. "Yes, Uncle. I didn't want to bother you while you were busy with the investigation. I'm sorry I couldn't let you know earlier."His voice held a note of caution. "Are you doing
In front of me stood five men, accompanied by two large, wild-looking wolves with patches of black fur. Their clothes were tattered, washed out, and full of holes.…Rogues?I swallowed hard, shuffling back on the ground, my instinct urging me to flee from them as soon as I could. The men stared at me as if I were their next meal. The wolves were thin, but four times larger than any wolf I had seen in my life. Their gazes dripped with bloodthirst/The one who had grabbed my hair was the largest among them.My heart raced even faster, but then one of the wolves lunged at me.It tore off my top, leaving me in my bra. "No, back off!" I screamed trying to fight off the wolf as its claws scratched my skin.
I entered the pack hall the following day. Thankfully, Kai hadn't returned to the bedroom the previous night. Despite my fear, I struggled to fall asleep until the early morning hours, constantly on edge, fearing his arrival at any moment. The lack of sleep weighed heavily on me as I made my way to the hall. Upon arriving, I noticed that everyone had already finished breakfast. Silently, I ate my own meal while overhearing hushed conversations and glances directed my way."Hey," a gentle voice caught me off guard from behind. Startled, I looked up and saw Ares standing before me.I stood up, the sudden movement making me feel dizzy. Ares swiftly steadied me, preventing me from collapsing, and helped me back into my seat.Taking a place in the chair next to me, he faced me directly. "Are you feeling better now?""Somewhat," I whispered, my voice barely audible, unable to speak in a loud voice without feeling a throbbing ache in my head.”"You turned out to be Kai's mate," he remarked
~Milli~An unfamiliar sensation surged through my veins, jolting me awake. Gasping for air, I blinked my eyes open to a world of disorientation. My breath came in heavy bursts as a searing pain coursed through my neck, a painful trail that seemed to burst my veins.With an instinctual grip, I clutched onto the shoulders of the man who was biting my neck, pushing him away.My eyes widened as I realized it was Kai."What are you..." My voice trembled, my mind struggling to form coherent words.Relief washed over his face, transforming his features into a happy smile. His hand cupped my face, "You're awake? Oh, thank the gods, you're awake!"
~Marcus~ The fire that surged within me as I watched Ares stroll out of the pack house hand in hand with Milli was blinding. My grip on the vodka bottle tightened as I snatched it off the counter, downing its contents in a single gulp. Just as I moved to follow them, Derek stepped in front of me, blocking my path. "Marcus, this event's far from over. There are still hours ahead. Keep your wits about you." "Step the hell aside," I growled, the sight of him igniting an indescribable rage within me. He had the audacity to kiss Sunshine, even though he damn well knew she belonged to me. I shoved him away and caught a glimpse of Ares and Milli vanishing through the doorway. Clamping my jaw, I yanked my phone out and fired off a message - 'Blacklist: Milli Jane.' I stormed out of the damn house. "You finally witnessed that bitch's true colors?" Kai drawled, leaning against the pillar outside, another bottle of whiskey dangling from his fingers. He moved toward me, blocking my path,
As I stepped out of Derek's car, my mind began to clear and the haze of the drinks dissipated. Nervousness and tension gripped each of my steps as I entered the pack house, which was now abuzz with people dressed in elegant attire, a stark contrast to my own appearance. As soon as I walked in, my gaze met Marcus' intense eyes, fixed right in the center of the hall."Are you planning to stand by the entrance all night?" Derek's voice whispered beside my ear, making me flinch.I quickly moved forward, reaching Marcus. He had been drinking heavily. I could smell it from where I stood.His jaw was tightly clenched, eyes burning through me. The moment I came to stand in front of him, he asked,"You kissed Derek?"
I quickly averted my eyes."What's that?" I pointed. It looked like something out of a fairytale, a princess's grand display with a large stage in the middle.There were young girls and boys standing around, grinning, holding hands.Nyx's lips curled into a mischievous grin."Tell me the truth, not your version," I warned.She rolled her eyes with a dramatic sigh. "Gosh, you're always on to me. How do you know I was going to lie?""You get that evil gleam in your eyes, the one that gives me shivers.”"Fine," she huffed, "It's t
