Koel was the only one at home when Maya drove in carelessly and parked the car.He was lounging on the pool sipping his drink and bathing under the rays when he heard Maya panicked screaming.Sprinting to his feet, he dashed towards the direction of the sound thinking that either she or Riella was in trouble and they needed help, only to see Maya there alone on the pavement struggling to hold herself together."What's going on?" He asked squatting to her level as he helped pull her hair back while she spat out the rest of her lunch on the ground.“Easy Maya, breath and talk to me” Koel ushered patting her back."Someone kidnapped Riella in front of me again. They just took her and I had to run for my fucking life because I was scared." She said gripping his clothes with tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes."Please you have to save her… You have to rescue her. She is probably scared and doesn't know what's going on now?!" Maya cried out with her fingers tightly clenched to Koe
Edward, Gabriella’s father dropped his phone on the table gaining his wife's attention who was busy reading a book curled up in their matrimonial bed."What the hell got your panties on a twist?" She asked looking up from her book with a squeeze on her forehead."I was trying to get a hold of Gabriella but she wasn't picking my call." He said and Grace as usual, rolled her eyes in annoyance and muttered something unintelligible underneath her breath.If it was other days, Edwards would have pretended that she did nothing and just blissfully live in ignorance but now he was on edge and felt the need to defend her."What did you say?" He asked as Grace looked at him, surprise scribbled on her face for a second before she regained her mask, making him seem like he was assuming things. "I hate that you should have given up on the unfortunate brat, still as defiant as her mother. Don't you have Olive already that is pleasing you?" She said as Edwards frowned and replied,"Gabriella is my
Olive was stunned, she was not letting her slide all over her. She had hoped that Riella was insecure enough in her marriage that she was going to fall for whatever she said to her, just to hurt her.This wasn't fair at all. Her ex Kyle was also in love with her, his screen wallpaper was literally a picture of Riella.And now Riella was standing on her own confident and dauntless enough to mess with her and not give a fuck. Nothing was going according to how she planned it.Olive thought that with the event where Luther would be given a prize, she would be able to talk to him and get some alone intimate moment with him but all night Luther had latched onto her hands and was beaming at everyone.And now her step-sister, the lady who she decided to unleash all that anger on, was not even batting an eyelid at her.This was something that she didn't like one bit. She scoffed putting on her game mood as she knew better than to let Riella think that she had possibly gotten her where she wan
Luther got in his car and turned it on as he slowly reversed before getting on the road.His hands were clenched tight on the steering wheel and his brain began to bring up the things that he wished he could forget forever.There were flashes of what he had been through, screaming his voice hoarse until it was gone completely, watching his brothers bleed and die over and over again. Amera's voice in the background; He shook his head dismissively.He didn’t want to lose control, at least not now that it finally felt like he could have a life all to himself. She really was a fucking leech in his hands.But what to do about her? he needed to be careful because if Amera was half as powerful as she was back then, he was going to be in big trouble.They still haven't found a way to stop her from using her powers as a witch. That was the mission of the late Lycan King, Silas Reign before it all went south.No witches wanted to side with them as they’ve all gone into hiding leaving them to be
Cyrus could see the uncertainty that was on Riella's face and the confusion that she had when he sat down beside her. He was hurt because he knew that he was the one that put it there and he had no one to blame for it but himself.Luther was right, he should stop pushing away his mate just because he was scared and not ready to tell everyone he loved her.He wanted to reach for her but he didn't know how Riella would take it. He prays that she doesn't realize that it's desperation that's fueling this so that she wouldn't betray them to her grandmother.He cleared his throat when he saw that Riella was staring at him as if she was waiting for something."What?" He mumbled quietly as Riella repeated;"I asked if everything was alright with you. You seemed distressed for a moment there." She pointed out as Cyrus ran a hand through his hair."Yes, I am, Sorry that you have to catch me unaware. I just wanted to spend time with you today. If it's okay with you." He said, his eyes wavering
Cyrus had a great day with Riella. He didn't even need to pretend that he enjoyed talking to her, he was genuinely intrigued and curious to know more about her and hear her stories. He loved watching her glow underneath the chandelier light and seeing her flushed cheeks as she regaled him with some embarrassing stories that she had lived through with Maya."I don't think I would ever have the face to go back there the next day after the humiliation," Cyrus commented as Riella covered her face."We had no choice, they had free food and that was what we set our eyes on. We had to do it. Oh, those days." She said shaking her head in remembrance as Cyrus reached for her hand and held it softly to say to her,"You do know that you have nothing to worry about now, that you don't need to do anything for food or clothing. You understand that right?" He said caressing her palm with a gentle touch.Riella’s eyes turned very red as she nodded her head, facing down at the table."I do know that
Cyrus pulled away from Gabriella when he realized that their actions were heading downhill fast."Fuck, why so irresistible..." Panting heavily, he cussed under his breath as he focused his eyes to return to their normal color."What's going on?!" Riella whined at the loss of contact, although her senses were returning to normal in the meantime. After the two orgasms she had from Cyrus' finger work on her, she was able to think clearly for a while before the fog came back as she was temporarily sated."I shouldn't have done this to you. We need to leave now before a full-blown one occurs." Cyrus said as he pulled away from her trying to leave.Only then did Inker (her inner wolf) retreat from the surface to the back of her mind and Riella’s came back into control."Wait does this mean that we are together or something? What does it count for ?" She asked shyly.Cyrus hesitated before turning to face her;"I don't think this is the time to have that kind of conversation." He said and R
"I fucking messed up!" Cyrus said with a groan as he angrily punched the wall behind him. He retreated to start pacing around the room and this was giving Koel a headache.Luther was seated at his usual spot, nursing a cold beer and some slices of pizza as he scrolled through the internet, sending cat TikTok to Nicole, not paying attention to his brother's dilemma.He had promised himself not to get involved because of the drama that came along with it."Calm down, you are stressing me okay? Besides you did the right thing, by not sleeping with her even though you wanted to. We can't betray her trust by having sex when there is no explicit consent.""You have forgotten when we tried to rape her huh?" Luther muttered although they could all hear it."That was a different situation. We were trying to break the curse immediately so we shrugged off the consent issue but back to the issue at hand, Cyrus was able to have a successful date with Riella. That brings us one step closer to our g
