Luxury Bath

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-21 03:41:06

Isla stirred awake, the soft sheets enveloping her like a cloud. For a moment, she lay still, blinking against the sunlight streaming through the large windows. The room was bathed in a warm glow, and the luxurious decor around her felt surreal. She rubbed her eyes, half-expecting to wake up in her small apartment, the familiar sounds of the city filtering through the thin walls. But as she took in the opulence surrounding her, a sense of disbelief washed over her.

Was this real? Or was she still dreaming?

The last time she had been in a room close to being lavish was when her parents had taken her and her sister to a luxury hotel for a weekend getaway when she was twelve. That trip had been sponsored by her father’s company, a reward for his hard work. She remembered the way the chandeliers sparkled, the plush carpets that felt like walking on clouds, and the way her mother had beamed with pride as they explored the hotel’s amenities. But that was a lifetime ago, a fleeting moment of

    Isla stood in front of the closet, her heart racing as she picked up a soft pink dress that seemed to glow in the morning light. The fabric was light and airy, perfect for the breakfast she was about to attend. She slipped it on, feeling the delicate material drape over her body, and for the first time, she felt a flicker of confidence. The dress made her feel beautiful, and she couldn’t help but smile at her reflection.With a final glance in the mirror, she took a deep breath and stepped out of the room, ready to face whatever awaited her downstairs. The mansion was a labyrinth of opulence, and as she wandered through the hallways, she found herself captivated by the intricate details of the architecture. The walls were adorned with rich tapestries, and the floors gleamed with polished marble. But as she turned corner after corner, the excitement began to fade, replaced by a growing sense of confusion.“Where is the dining area?” she muttered to herself, glancing around at the endle

    The room fell silent for a moment, all eyes drawn to him as he stepped inside. Liam was dressed in a fitted navy blue t-shirt that hugged his muscular frame, accentuating his broad shoulders and well-defined arms. The sleeves of the shirt were slightly rolled up, showcasing his toned biceps, which seemed to ripple with every movement. He paired the shirt with dark jeans that fit him perfectly, neither too tight nor too loose, allowing for ease of movement while still looking effortlessly stylish. As he entered, Liam exuded a relaxed confidence. His casual attire did not diminish his commanding presence; instead, it highlighted his athletic build and the natural charisma that drew people in. His posture was relaxed yet assertive, with his arms occasionally crossing over his chest, further emphasizing his muscular arms. He wore a casual watch on his wrist, adding a touch of sophistication to his laid-back look. A slight smile played on his sensual lips, and his intense gaze scanned t

    Miranda’s eyes sparkled with determination as she leaned forward, her expression shifting to one of earnestness. “I’m Miranda, and I’ve been part of this pack since beginning - as this is my family. I'm cousin to Liam Lockwood. But it hasn’t always been easy for me either,” Miranda continued, her tone growing somber. “I lost my brother in a rogue attack a few years back. He was my best friend, my confidant. Losing him felt like losing a part of myself.”Isla’s heart ached for Miranda, the pain in her voice echoing the struggles she had faced in her own life. “I thought I would never recover from that. But then I met my mate Andy and things changed,” Miranda said, her voice trembling slightly. “And this pack helped me heal. They became my support system, my family. I realized that even in the darkest times, there’s always a light to guide you, and for me, that light was all of them.” She gestured to the group around the table, her eyes shining with gratitude.Isla felt a lump form in

    Isla lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling as the afternoon sun streamed through the window. She had the entire afternoon to herself, a rare luxury in this bustling mansion filled with pack members. But instead of feeling relaxed, her mind was racing. She couldn’t shake the memory of Liam’s touch, the way his fingers had brushed against hers during their training session. A shiver ran down her spine, and she cringed at the thought.What was she doing? She shouldn’t be getting this close to him, this tempter who had turned her world upside down. The chemistry between them was undeniable, but it was also dangerous. She had to keep her distance, to remind herself that she was here for a reason, and it wasn’t to get swept away by a handsome Alpha.Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her phone buzzed on the nightstand, pulling her from her reverie. She reached for it, her heart skipping a beat when she saw it was a message from Liam.“Come down to the garden for a stroll??” the text rea

    In the party, Isla found herself surrounded by a crowd of elegantly dressed individuals. She was already at the event with Miranda, Taylor, and Ken, but she felt out of place. Liam walked beside her, but she maintained a distance, acutely aware of the elite atmosphere that surrounded them.The room was filled with laughter and chatter, the clinking of glasses echoing in the air. Isla’s heart raced as she took in the posh surroundings, the lavish decorations, and the well-dressed guests mingling effortlessly. She felt a wave of self-doubt wash over her.“I shouldn’t have come here,” she thought, her stomach twisting.“Just relax and come with me,” Miranda said, sensing Isla’s discomfort. She took Isla’s hand and led her deeper into the crowd, with Taylor and Ken following closely behind.As they moved through the throng of people, Isla caught glimpses of elite girls chatting animatedly, their laughter ringing like music. Miranda approached a couple of them, and Isla felt a pang of envy

    The laughter and chatter of the party faded into a dull roar, and all she could hear was the pounding of her own heart.“Regina, stop it,” Marvi said, his tone suddenly defensive, but it lacked any real conviction. He stood there, a cowardly spectator to the scene unfolding before him.Isla’s hands trembled at her sides, and she fought to keep her composure. “You don’t know anything about me,” she said, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside. “You don’t get to judge me.”Regina stepped closer, her eyes glinting with malice. “Oh, but I do. You’re the one who’s pathetic, clinging to a past that doesn’t want you. You think you can just waltz into this world and be accepted? You wolf-less bitch.”Isla felt the heat of anger rise within her, but she forced herself to breathe. She wouldn’t let Regina get the best of her. “I’m not clinging to anything,” she shot back, her voice rising. “I’ve moved on. You’re the one who seems obsessed with me.”Regina laughed, a sharp, mocking sound tha

    As Isla stood her ground against Regina, her heart racing with a mix of anger and determination. Just as she thought the confrontation couldn’t escalate further, a group of men in black suits appeared, their imposing figures cutting through the crowd like a knife. They moved with purpose, their expressions serious as they approached the scene.“What’s going on here?” one of the men asked, his voice deep and authoritative.Regina, sensing an opportunity to shift the narrative, immediately turned on the charm, her demeanor shifting from aggressive to victimized in an instant. “Thank goodness you’re here! This man,” she pointed at Liam, “has assaulted me! He pushed me, and I demand that you take him away!”Isla’s jaw dropped in disbelief. “Regina, you’re lying!” she shouted, her voice rising in frustration. “You’re the one who started this whole thing!”But Regina wasn’t finished. “And this one,” she gestured toward Isla, “is a dangerous prostitute!

    Isla stared at Liam, her mind racing as she processed his words. “You’ve faced challenges?” she said incredulously, shaking her head in disbelief. “I can’t believe it. Whatever you’ve faced must be far less than what I’ve gone through. You have so much wealth, so much power, and you’re incredibly beautiful. You’re living life on easy mode, Liam. Your struggles must be simple compared to mine.”Miranda shook her head, a knowing look in her eyes, as if she were watching a naive child. Taylor smirked, her plump lips curving into a teasing smile. Isla felt a rush of frustration at their reactions, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was right.Liam’s expression shifted, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. “You are so naive, Isla,” he said, his tone light but firm. He walked around the room, his movements graceful and confident, before settling into a plush armchair like a king taking his throne. “Just imagine, Isla sweetie.

    "Isla!" Her mother's voice cut through her thoughts, high and delighted in a way Isla had never heard directed at her before. "Darling, there you are!"All conversation at the table ceased as every head turned toward the doorway. Isla felt Liam's hand press reassuringly against her lower back, grounding her as seven pairs of eyes fixed on them."Good morning," Liam's deep voice filled the room, commanding attention without effort—the natural authority of an Alpha. "I trust everyone slept well?""Exceptionally," her father answered, rising from his seat with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Your hospitality is unmatched, Alpha Lockwood."Alpha Lockwood. Not Liam. The formality wasn't lost on Isla, nor was the respect—bordering on obsequiousness—in her father's tone. This was the same man who had once dismissed her dreams of finding her fated mate as "unrealistic given her limitations as a wolf-less.""Please, join us," her mother urged, gesturing to the two empty seats at the

    The Lockwood jet touched down on the private airstrip just as dawn was breaking over the horizon. Isla stirred from her dreamless sleep, her body feeling more rested than it had in weeks. Without her wolf constantly prowling beneath her skin, sleep came easier now—deeper and more peaceful. She blinked away the remnants of slumber and gazed out the window as the mansion came into view, its grand silhouette outlined against the pale morning sky."Sleep well?" Liam's voice was a warm rumble beside her.Isla turned to find him looking refreshed despite not having slept at all during their trip back from Montreal. Being a werewolf—a powerful Alpha at that—meant Liam could go days without proper rest if needed. His supernatural stamina was yet another reminder of the wolf she no longer possessed."Better than I have in a long time," she admitted, stretching her arms above her head. "I didn't even realize I'd fallen asleep until we were halfway back."Liam's fingers traced the curve of her

    The take-off was smooth, the powerful engines pushing them back into their seats as the jet climbed rapidly into the night sky. Below them, New York City spread out like a constellation of earthbound stars, a mirror to the actual stars above them."It's beautiful," Isla whispered, pressing her palm against the cool window.Liam leaned over, his breath warm against her ear. "Not as beautiful as you."She turned to him, ready to playfully accuse him of being cheesy, but the sincerity in his ocean eyes stopped her. There was something profound in his gaze, something that transcended romantic platitudes."When I saw you wake up like that," he said quietly, "terrified, haunted... it broke something in me. I would fly you to the moon for hot chocolate if it would chase away that look in your eyes."Isla's heart swelled, emotion clogging her throat. She reached out, tracing the strong line of his jaw with her fingertips. "My fierce, protective wolf," she murmured."Always," he promised.The

    The silence between them faded now, less.Isla's breathing had steadied, though her mind still raced with the implications of what she had seen about Selena. It was just a dream. Pull yourself together!She looked up at Liam, her eyes searching his. "You said you'd help me forget," she whispered. "How are you planning to do that?"A slow smile spread across Liam's face, the kind that always made her heart skip a beat. It was mischievous, tender, and utterly disarming all at once."Well," he said, reaching for his phone on the nightstand, "first things first." He pressed a button, and the device lit up, illuminating his face in a soft blue glow. He scrolled through his contacts and pressed call.Isla watched, puzzled, as he waited for someone to answer. At this hour? Who could he possibly be calling?"Marcus," Liam's voice was authoritative yet casual. "I need hot chocolate sent up to the master suite. The good kind, with the whipped cream and those little marshmallows Isla likes."

    The bedroom was lit up in night lamps, soft and silver.. Isla lay nestled against Liam, her body curved perfectly into the protective arc of his embrace. Their breathing synchronized. Her slumber began softly, peacefully. The warmth of Liam's body, the steady rise and fall of his chest, the faint scent of cedar and pine that always surrounded him—these were her anchors, her safety.And then the dream began.At first, it was pure joy. Isla found herself running—no, bounding—through a moonlit forest. But this was different. This was her wolf form. Selena. Her long-lost wolf that she thought had died years ago.Golden blonde fur gleamed under the moonlight, each muscle moving with a fluid grace she had forgotten was possible. The ground beneath her paws felt alive, vibrating with ancient energy. Moss-covered earth, fallen pine needles, the soft give of forest floor—sensations she had been denied for so long rushed back to her.Freedom. Pure, unbridled freedom.Her wolf form was magn

    The Lockwood mansion gardens stretched out before Isla as she walked past the flowers and bushes. Ancient oak trees lined the perimeter, their branches creating natural archways that filtered the morning sunlight into delicate patterns across the manicured pathways. Roses of every imaginable hue—deep crimson, soft blush, pristine white—competed for attention, their fragrance hanging in the air like a delicate perfume.Isla moved through this landscape of beauty, her fingers trailing lightly over delicate petals, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. One week. Just seven days remained until her wedding to Liam, a countdown that simultaneously thrilled and terrified her. The gardens had always been her sanctuary, a place where she could retreat from the world's complications, but today they felt different. Charged. Expectant.She wore a simple white sundress, the fabric light and flowing, catching the gentle morning breeze. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a loose braid, tendrils esca

    If anyone understood the danger of Liam's anger, it was she. Her son had inherited raw, ancient powers that set him apart even among werewolves. His connection to the primal forces of their kind ran deeper than most, giving him abilities that were both gift and curse."So that is why I couldn't face him," Maximilian said quietly, noting her reaction. "You know what he's capable of. Then how can I confess the truth to him?!""You are right," she whispered. "Even when he was small, I could sense the power in him. It's why I worked so hard to teach him control, to channel his emotions." She looked up at her mate, fear flickering in her eyes. "How bad was it after we both went hidden from his life?!"Maximilian sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair. "The first year was... difficult. I heard that he destroyed an entire wing of the mansion during one episode. The pack has stood by him, but there were times..." He trailed off, shaking his head. "Times when I wondered if his grief

    The morning light filtered through the gauzy curtains, casting a gentle glow across Angelina's sleeping form. For the first time in five years, her slumber had been peaceful, unaffected by fear or the anxiety that Dreams had come to her throughout the night—not the terrifying nightmares that had plagued her for years, but soft, comforting visions of her son, her mate, her pack. The family she had been torn from. In her dreams, Liam was still the young boy she remembered, with his father's dark hair and her blue eyes, laughing as he chased fireflies across the lawn of their New York mansion. But even in sleep, Angelina knew he had grown. Five years had passed. Her little wolf was a man now, with a mate of his own.As consciousness slowly returned to her, Angelina became aware of the sounds surrounding the cottage—birdsong filtering through the open window, the gentle rustle of leaves in the morning breeze, the distant babbling of a brook somewhere beyond the meadow. Sounds of freed

    The cottage fell silent save for the distant calls of birds and the gentle tick of the old clock on the wall. Outside, clouds drifted across the sun, casting momentary shadows through the kitchen. Inside, Maximilian battled his own darkness."Even now, I wasn't able to capture your captor," he said, his voice low and filled with frustration. "Who is that bastard that kidnapped you?!"His fists clenched at his sides, knuckles whitening with suppressed rage. The wolf within him howled for vengeance, for blood. Five years of searching had yielded little more than fragments—whispers of a man with changing faces, moving through the shadows of the supernatural world with disturbing ease.Angelina pulled back slightly, her expression softening. "Even I don't know. He used to charm me by taking on a handsome man's physical appearance. I ignored him."She shuddered visibly, wrapping her arms around herself. "He was... empty somehow. Behind whatever face he wore. Like looking into a void." She
