Carena:"Payton, let's go home," I said, eyeing her, but she dismissed me with a hand gesture.Yamin didn't say anything and stood beside me, whimpering into her palms. The way Matt glanced at her showed he didn't care about Payton."So, let's start the acceptance," Matt said, lifting his hand and gesturing at the crowd, who cheered.I could tell some of them sensed something bad was about to happen. They seemed overly interested, their phones already pointed at the two."Matt, you don't want to do it like that," I almost pleaded, but he shrugged me off. Payton gave me a deadly glare, warning me not to interfere with the acceptance process. The two faced each other while Yamin pulled her body close to mine and hugged me.She was crying for no reason. This whole stunt was never meant to hurt her."I, Payton wolf--" she began, but Matt hushed her."Let me go first," he insisted, and she nodded."I, Matt--" he paused as Yamin lifted her head from my chest and met his eyes.His smirk disa
Carena:As we sat in the car and she cried the rest of the way, I pondered on what would happen now. Was Yamin clueless, or did Matt use her too?I was going crazy with this new issue that came out of nowhere. On top of it, I skipped going to work today. Theodore wasn’t picking up my calls anymore, so I assumed he was still angry or probably upset with me.“Brother will be so angry with me,” Payton uttered under her breath, sniffling and clearing her tears. I didn’t respond to her, but I was sure Sawyer would not only be angry with her but he might even punish Matt too.What the heck was Matt thinking, messing with the Alpha King’s sister like that? If he somehow survived Sawyer, he would not survive Ronan, who couldn’t be stopped by any means.What about his grandmother? I had so many questions in my mind.I took Payton home, where I didn’t know the whole news of her rejection had already spread. Once I stepped into the house, Lady Jane approached me angrily and pushed me to the side
Carena: “What are you thinking of doing?” I watched Sawyer sit on the couch for two hours, just staring at the ceiling.“Why do you care?” he asked in a rough voice.“Sawyer, I just want you to know that Yamin didn’t know. She was genuinely crying--” As I began to take her side, he lifted his head and stared at me.“I am not picking any sides, but I think it was Matt’s plan. Just let me speak to Yamin and let her know that those men who attacked her were hired by Matt,” I said, unsure how else to convince Sawyer that Yamin was innocent. Since he had stepped into the bedroom, he hadn't even spoken a word. It sent chills down my spine.What if those two become his new victims? What then?“You will not speak to her or anyone. I told you, I don't want anyone to be a part of this whole mess. I will deal with it alone now,” Sawyer made sure he spoke clearly when making that statement.“You cannot stop me from speaking to my friend,” I said, now understanding that asking him nicely wouldn’t
Carena: “Sawyer!” His name left my lips, but my body didn’t resist. He ran his free hand over my neck, down to my breast, and then groped it, compelling me to arch my back and close my eyes. After massaging my breasts over my clothes for a while, he lifted my shirt to my neck, freeing my breasts from my bra and instantly pinching my nipple.I grimaced with ecstasy. His fingers touching my areolas gave me a different kind of pleasure. It was like I wanted him to hurt my tits, to make them bleed, and then drink the juice.He played around with his fingers before burying his face in my chest and planting little kisses over my breasts. The gentleness of his kisses caused my breaths to increase. The softness of his lips against my hard nipple completed our desires.But he wasn’t done yet. While he sucked my entire breast, trying to force it into his whole mouth, his hand reached for my stomach and then slipped down until it was inside my pants.My eyes shot open, watching the ceiling as h
Carena: I had fallen asleep beneath him after completely losing myself in my deeply hidden desires. I'm not sure how long we stayed like that, but when my sleep finally started to break, I found my body nicely covered with a blanket, though there was no sign of Sawyer again.It was almost 3 a.m., shocking that I had slept so much. I got up and looked around the room, finding it empty. Even the bathroom was empty."Wow, I feel sore," Arena giggled as her thoughts lingered on her mate and the sex."Don't you think we should be concerned about him being missing once again?" I rolled my eyes at her, hoping she would remember that what we did yesterday was far from ideal."He must be somewhere," she scoffed at me, entirely dismissing my concerns."Arena, no!" I grunted. "This is exactly why I am regretting it. You are losing yourself. Don't forget there's a high chance he's a serial killer. Do you think we're safe from him? Or that our loved ones or the pack members don't deserve justice?
Carena:I had been crying under the shower for the past fifteen minutes before I heard the door to the room open and close. I knew he had come back and would suspect me. Cleaning my face with my hands, I walked out of the shower and threw on a robe. Before walking out, I tried to think about happy thoughts, but at this point, there were none.I walked out of the bathroom and found Sawyer standing in the middle of the room with a big frown on his forehead until he saw me.“You took a shower? Why woke up so early?” he questioned with a smile on his lips. Once he began to walk in my direction, my body shuddered, and I took a big step to get away from him. He frowned, watching me hug myself.“Are you alright? Why do you look so--” he examined me silently before uttering, “pale?”“I am fine,” I answered almost instantly. “I am just tired,” I added.“If you are worried about me knotting in you--” before he could finish, I helped him understand it wasn't that.“I cannot become a mother. So d
Carena:I heard his footsteps approaching, so I sprinted away frantically. My heart pounded in my ears, and my veins throbbed intensely. I reached my room and threw myself under the blanket. I was trembling violently, hoping he wouldn't come close to check on me.I could no longer hear his footsteps. I didn't even know when I lost him. While hiding under the blanket, I recalled all the signs that pointed to him being the serial killer."Calm down," Arena uttered shakily. "If he comes to the room and finds you shaking in bed, he'll know."It was easy to say I should calm myself, but so hard to act on it."He killed his fated mate, Arena," I closed my eyes tightly. Saying the words made it even worse."I heard it too. But right now, you gotta act cool. Just stay natural until we find a way to get away from him," she was saying what I was thinking.Of course, confronting him would mean exposing myself as a witness and possibly endangering myself. He wouldn't think twice before killing me
Carena:"Good. Then they must have told you that I rejected his proposal," I said, not needing to reveal that I had later changed my mind. Sawyer was a serial killer who could do anything he wanted. I didn't owe him honesty anymore."And if you don't trust me, I'll give you another reason to let me work. Remember how this marriage wasn't even what I wanted? You tricked me, and now you ask why I'm so distant from you?" I raised my voice as the walls seemed to close in on me.He was breathing heavily, his eyes boring into mine."And that explains you sneaking out of my mansion? And that explains you trying to divorce me? That happened before I tricked you. So tell me again, why did you cheat on me? Why betray me?" he asked in a muffled, grunting tone before raising his voice and startling me. "Fucking tell me."I glared back at him. The tension was escalating."Because it was my decision. I didn't want to stay married to you," I yelled back, possibly hurting him if he was innocent. But
