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
Riella kept on having this pain in her heart that she couldn't explain, it was like a literal pain and this had her co-workers worried about her, asking her over and over again if anything was the problem, but she kept on reassuring them that she was fine.But it seemed that her boss had another thing in mind so she decided to send her home.Her temperature was rising as well so she knew that Riella was trying to work despite being sick."Go home Riella you can come back later again when you are alright." Mrs Rose said stopping in front of her workstation with a frown on her face, after checking her temperature.Riella was taken aback by this."But....""Don't argue with me. Go home. Your salary will not be affected." She assured Riella."I'm not talking about the damn salary, I'm talking about how everyone is acting like it's such a big deal. I would know if I am sick and I am not."Luckily for her, Mrs Rose wasn't budging in."Think of it as a mini vacation. If something happens to
Maya found Riella sleeping when she got into her room and frowned a bit wondering if this was normal. She checked her phone and got the voicemail that she listened to and it was about five hours ago.Riella had been complaining of pain and it seemed like she hadn't taken any medication so she decided to wake her up and ask her some questions to figure out what was wrong.As she approached the bed, she patted her softly knowing Riella was a light sleeper but then Riella didn't even squirm or make a movement to show that she was aware of what was going on around her.Maya frowned not liking this at all as she went back to shaking her this time around but Riella didn't wake up.Knowing that Riella would even hear a pin drop from her sleep, this dead reaction was making Maya panic.She got scared and started shaking her body violently, calling her name but nothing happened."Koel! Koel! Help!" She yelled out loud for Koel to come while she kept shaking her friend. She checked quickly for
Shannon was pacing around in her room as she kept on waiting for the information she needed from one of her spies.She needed to find out where Mr Edwards was, they had an issue they needed to deal with years ago and there was no more wasting time.Shannon had earlier waited for Riella to join her in this but Riella had sent her a message telling her she wouldn't be able to make it before she had some pains and was heading home to sleep it off.That was three days ago and Riella hadn't texted her since or come back to work which left her worried about her.But unless short of storming the Reign mansion, there was nothing else she could do in that situation so she focused all her time and money on finding the whereabouts of Mr Edwards, her comatose daughter’s husband, here in the city.Just then her phone buzzed with a message and she quickly read through it and smiled. She had gotten the breakthrough that she was looking for and she was going to visit Mr Edwards.It was time she dealt
Shannon rolled her eyes at the order, it seems like pesky werewolves nowadays think they are superior."That's no way to talk to a woman who had lived through fifty generations of your ancestors. Do you think the threat of security will stop a whole witch like me?" She said standing up slowly as she clenched her fist.Surprisingly, the action of her fist immediately affected Mr Edwards as he started coughing out blood, doubling over in pain."Do you think I won't be able to kill you right here right now and leave without the cops finding a way to pin it on me because you died of natural causes?" Strutting towards him, her chin raised with a smug grin."Please let me go… I'm sorry… I'm sorry." He begged seriously before she finally released him from the spell and he collapsed to the ground gasping for air."Now that we have established who is in charge, I think it's time for a little tete-a-tete." She said sitting down as Mr Edwards helped himself to his feet."What do you want from me
