Carena: “Please leave me alone.”Her words had been echoing in my mind ever since I returned to my room. Sawyer had finished his soup but was so drowsy that he dozed off. After taking my shower and finishing my routine, I too headed to bed. However, I couldn’t sleep. Yamin was on my mind, and so was Payton.I was concerned for Payton. What if Matt had done something to her?“Someone is definitely making her do things she seems to be coerced into,” I said to Arena, my gaze shifting to the sleeping Sawyer.“If he finds out, he’ll tear them apart,” Arena replied. As she spoke, my eyes drifted to Sawyer’s lips, which were naturally red and so soft. I had to close my eyes to avoid dwelling on them.“Are you sure he is the killer?” Even after hearing his confession, Arena’s nerve to bring it up again made me frown.“I’m not saying this without reason. I know you’re wondering,” she quickly clarified.“Then why are you asking a question that has already been explained?” I wanted it to be a l
Carena:Sawyer left for work after having breakfast with me, while Payton skipped her breakfast as usual. She had asked for some time from her family to heal, but I knew she wasn’t healing at all. She was going through something and was either too ashamed or too afraid to tell anyone about it.Lunch time arrived, and Sawyer informed me that he would be gone for the day. So it was pretty much just me and his family, who seemed to dislike me.“Ginny will be returning to do Sawyer’s chores starting tomorrow,” Lady Jane announced as she found me in the kitchen and decided to bother me.“Okay, that will be fine,” I replied, feeling oddly secure about Sawyer not wanting anyone else. I shrugged it off. Initially, I had a feeling that Sawyer and Ginny might be involved in something behind closed doors, but that feeling had faded.“And you’re not jealous?” Lady Jane smirked, making me roll my eyes at her in disbelief.“Exactly how old are you?” I asked, finding her smirk irritating. She grunte
Carena:I grabbed a sweater and put it over my pink silk nightdress before slipping on my shoes. I didn't have time to take anything else with me because I needed to hurry and follow her. My heart was pounding in my chest as I watched her leave the mansion. Since she used to party a lot previously, she was allowed to leave."What if we’re not allowed?" I groaned, remembering how controlling Sawyer had become.“Give it a try,” Arena said. I nodded and reached the gate.The guard frowned at me as he noticed my state. It was obvious I was wearing a silk gown.“Payton left?” I looked around, acting disappointed, then checked the time on my phone as if I were late.“Yes, Your Highness. She left a minute ago,” he replied, his eyes still scanning me.“Oh Goddess, she was supposed to take me along. What the heck! I don’t even know the address,” I stamped my foot, acting anxious and frustrated.“Ma’am, the driver can follow her car, or you can ask her to give you the address,” he suggested sof
Carena: There was absolutely no way I was going to let these filthy people do that to her. They will not only ruin her life but hurt Sawyer too. I wouldn’t let that happen. “Get up and take off your clothes and then get on your knees on this couch. He wants to try anal first,” the old woman hissed at Payton, who steadily got up but started shaking even more. “Give her something to drink to ease up her muscles. I want her in her full swing,” the old man said and the lady nodded.“Okay honey,” she replied and went to grab a glass for Payton. So they were mates and the woman was supplying young girls to her filthy pig of a man?“I don't want to drink,” Payton uttered.“You better,” the old man reached her hastily and grabbed her head from the back of her hair. It was at this moment that I knew I needed to take action.So I jumped out from behind the wall and pushed the man off Payton. Her eyes seemed to have bugged out when watching me.“Carena!” she uttered my name miserably, instantl
Carena: “Carena, let’s go,” Payton shook my arm to get my attention. I had been sitting on the ground with Mr. Pitt’s body for Goddess knows how long. I had never done anything like this before. But I killed someone, and now I was covered in his blood.Payton had grabbed the laptop while trying to shake me awake.“We need to leave, please. His wife ran away, and what if she returns with more people?” Payton was shaking me constantly, and I could hear her clearly, but my body didn’t want to react to her.“I killed him,” I turned to her and said, tears forming in my eyes.“Because he was going to harm us,” Payton wrapped her arm around my body and forced me to get up, but I fell on my knees again.“Take this and leave. It is raining outside and soon the morning will arrive. We need to leave,” it was Payton who made me realize we had been in this house for many hours.She was busy cleaning our fingerprints, but I didn't think there was anything that could be done. Mrs. Pitt would take a
Carena:I have been in my room ever since I returned in the morning. I could not leave, even when I tried. It was like every time I attempted to think of something else, flashes of me stabbing that man and his blood splattering everywhere would invade my mind.I was getting paranoid too. Every few minutes, I felt like I would open my eyes and find that old man on top of me.The door to my room was open, so Payton walked in, probably after she had taken a nap.“Payton, why the heck did you go there?” I didn’t even wait and sat up, questioning her in frustration. Why the heck would she get herself into trouble like that? Has she not learned a lesson from her past mistakes?“I didn’t mean to,” she said, sitting down on the bed, her head down and her hands clenched together.“When Matt humiliated me and rejected me, I felt so bad. I was angry at the moon goddess for making him my fated mate. It was always like that. She is sleeping somewhere and we are suffering,” she hissed, her jaw clen
Carena:"I killed someone," I repeated to provoke a reaction from him.He shifted his position in bed, gently cupping my face in his hands and looking me in the eye. "Did that person harm you?" he asked."He was about to," I mumbled, tearing up and sniffling a little. I had a wolf who seemed unafraid of anything, but the moment Sawyer appeared in my view, we both felt like frightened kittens craving his support and attention."I'm glad you killed him. Otherwise, I would have fucking tortured him until the moon goddess herself appeared and begged me to stop," he whispered. After staring into his eyes for a few seconds, I freed my face only to press my body against his. I hugged him and sobbed like a miserable little wolf, and the way he patted my back to comfort me made me feel so much better."But I still killed someone. I'm a bad person, Sawyer!" I continued, while he ran his hand through my hair to calm me down."You are not a bad person. You can never be, no matter what you do." Hi
Carena:My body began to move with his rhythms as he humped me from behind. Then his hand reached down between my legs, caressing my pussy before he spread my legs slightly to adjust his cock at my entrance.I groaned, my eyes rolling back in pleasure. He licked my cheek from behind, pushing his dick deep inside me. His movements were slow but filled with pleasure.I gasped as I moaned softly. "Those were bad people, don't think about them," he whispered, kissing my earlobe while gently and sensually fucking me. "You didn't even ask me why I was there," I said, closing my eyes intermittently from the pleasure of his hot rod inside me. "I don't need to. It's your secret, and I know it must be for a good reason," he uttered, causing me to feel guilty. I suddenly resisted, got up, and straddled him, surprising him.As I sat on him, I held his cock and guided it inside me while he massaged my breasts with his large, veiny hands. "Why do you love me so much?" I groaned, biting my bottom l
Carena: “I have put them to bed; we’re all set,” Sawyer announced, his shirt disheveled before he quickly straightened it, though he didn’t roll down his sleeves.I gave him a smile and got up from my seat to welcome him. He took the main chair, and I sat down beside him, wearing a beautiful red dress.“You are the best father and husband,” I whispered, leaning over to kiss his cheek while the maid served us food.“You two need to get a room,” Ronan joked, making us smile and turn to him. He looked so happy with Yamin. The two had welcomed twins--a baby girl and a baby boy--last year.“And my brother is truly proving himself to be a good role model too,” Payton added proudly.Lady Jane smiled at her sons, delighted with their perfect lives.“And Payton is taking good care of business,” Louis grinned at her, giving her a wink. I knew something was brewing between the two, and they had recently opened up about it. They were set to get married in two months.I didn’t think there could b
Carena:“What do you mean?” My heart revived even more, my grip tightening around my child.“Kelly, don’t fucking make up stories,” Jack yelled, his fists clenched.“I am not. You fool. You really bought my lie about Carena being so powerful to get pregnant already and then giving birth in seven months. Carena didn’t have a proper sense of date and time because there were days she would sleep without waking up for two days. But you, you knew everything. Yet you didn’t question anything?” Kelly smirked at Jack, who was finally hit with the realization.That’s when my baby let out a little cry and opened his eyes. He had the same eyes as Sawyer.“He is my baby?” Sawyer rushed toward me, taking him from my hands and then smiling, “No wonder I felt such a strong connection.”“No! You did not betray me like that,” Jack yelled, rushing to wrap his hands around Kelly’s neck, but Martin raised his legs and kicked him, making Jack drop back like a pathetic weakling.“How dare you--,” it was as
Carena: After I beat him up, Sawyer handed me my baby while he tied the couple to a tree. I was curious about what he was planning to do.“I am so sorry I got you into this mess,” Kelly cried to Martin, the two tied side by side.“No! If I have to do that again, I will do it. All for you,” the guy was hopelessly in love with her but also an idiot for partaking in her crazy schemes.She was a doctor; if she had remained committed to her job, the two would be living a very good life by now.While the two cried and talked, I held my son and smiled with teary eyes. My baby was perfect. There was no way he was Jack’s child. How could such a beautiful baby belong to that monster?“My perfect child,” I cried happily, rocking my baby in my arms. All these months, not once did I hate my child. I had grown so much in love with my baby that I didn’t understand why and how."Why would you want us dead? You already have your baby and your mate by your side now. Don't you have everything already?"
Carena:He was watching me with so many emotions in his eyes. In that moment, Jack and the others decided to flee because they knew they couldn't fight Sawyer.Jack was so frightened that he didn't even wait to grab me. Instead, he just started running after seizing Kelly.“My son--!” I yelled, but before I could get up, I saw Sawyer gesture for me not to go after them.“They cannot escape the woods.”His confidence made me sit back. But what about my son? What if they hurt him?"Sawyer!" I uttered his name as he deepened his stare into my eyes, filled with nothing but love for me."My love!" He knelt down and instantly pulled me into a warm and comforting embrace."No! Don't touch me before you know my truth." It broke my heart that even after our reunion, I had to keep my distance from him.He needed to understand that I had given birth to Jack's child so he could decide whether he still wanted to be with me. It would shatter my heart if he didn't want to stay with me, but I could n
Sawyer:“Ronan, keep your eyes peeled at the border. Make sure your men remain hidden in dugouts around the portal,” I advised him as we marched away from the entrance. Tonight was the Wolf Moon, and after midnight, I knew Jack would arrive with Carena. Certainly, Jack would use Carena to try to lure us away so that he could cross the portal, but I would jump right in with them. That was the plan.“I have informed my guards not to stop them from enticing the bridge, but do let us know when they arrive,” Ronan confirmed. I didn't want to provoke Jack into attacking Carena out of anger. Of course, he would threaten us with her life when he was surrounded by the warriors.“Yamin is taking care of the roads--” Suddenly, Ronan's voice began to fade. My mind started to wander off, and I knew it wasn’t the first time this had happened. I had felt this before, only when someone stepped into my woods--the woods of which I was king.“They are here.”I closed my eyes, focusing on the whispers of
Carena:“AHHHHH!” My screams had deafened me at this point. The pain was unbearable, and being out in the wild was not helping at all. I was worried for my baby and how giving birth in the wilderness would negatively impact everything. Dr. Kelly had asked Jack and Martin to grab some supplies while she assisted me with the delivery.“Just keep going. I know you can do it,” she said, rubbing a damp cloth over my forehead in an attempt to comfort me, but I was far from comfortable. The open air and sky, combined with the fact that my mate was not with me, broke my heart.“Why can’t we go to a hospital?” I asked, letting out heavy breaths, but the pain kept intensifying.“Because Sawyer must have informed all the hospitals and packs about you and Jack,” she replied. “Besides, we are passing through Sawyer’s pack, so--” The minute she said that, goosebumps covered my body. I looked around and noticed the woods. What the hell!We were in the terrifying part of the woods? The crazy and poss
Carena: Jack was shocked to see the old man confronting him. It seemed like Jack had run out of words.“I don’t know what you are--talking about,” Jack tried to sound normal, but none of the words he uttered came out in a confident tone.His hesitation alone gave him a guilty appearance.I had stepped way back from them while Dr. Kelly ensured she stayed with me."I heard it all. You played me only so you could use my kin to escape the werewolf world--the world where you have messed up so much that you can’t even remain in it anymore,” Vincent finally seemed to have caught on to Jack’s scheme.It took him months and many wasted attempts to open his eyes. But what struck me as odd was that Jack steadily fixed his posture and approached him.For someone who had been caught in a lie by his only support, he was remarkably calm.“I think you’re taking this way too seriously. It’s not that grave of a matter,” he placed his hand on Vincent’s shoulder, but Vincent shrugged it off aggressivel
Carena:"What did you just say?" he asked, a harshness in his voice warning me not to say the wrong thing."Jack lied to you. He told me that if he told you the truth, you would kill me and my baby." I gulped, realizing it could be true. I was taking a risk here. If I wasn’t pregnant, I would have found a way to escape the chains and transition. But that was no longer an option."Huh!" He looked rightfully confused. "You are the reason my poor daughter is dead. Sawyer killed her because of you." Now that we were talking, he started revealing what he truly thought of me.The fact that he claimed Sawyer had killed Tabitha proved that Jack had lied to him about many things."That’s not true. Listen--" I took a deep breath, knowing I was about to admit who was really responsible for Tabitha’s death and the deaths of his other children.His expression grew even harsher as he continued to watch me, waiting for an explanation as to why I believed Jack had been lying."Tabitha did cheat on Ja
Carena:I was heavily pregnant and miserable, but I kept going for the sake of my baby and the hope of seeing Sawyer again one day. I just didn’t know how he would react to the fact that my child belonged to someone else.“You shouldn’t starve yourself,” the maid they had hired for me said, causing me to roll my eyes.I didn’t get along with any of these people.They were all enemies of both me and Sawyer, working for that despicable man.“I’m full,” I sighed. “Before you start lecturing me, I had breakfast less than two hours ago,” I scoffed, irritated.She rolled her eyes and left the hut. We had been on the run—or rather, they had kept me on the run—for months.Every time Sawyer got close, they would pack up and flee again. They’d managed to evade him many times by threatening my life, and of course, Sawyer always relented.“Hey,” Jack entered, having taken care of the food and other necessities for the night. He smiled at me.The mattress I sat on was uncomfortable, lacking the fa
