~ARIA~Tears were still trickling down my face, and my steps were getting heavier when I stepped into the large hall where the party was held last night. Not a single soul was left there.I sniffled as I dragged my body on, wishing to get to the gate sooner, so I could board a taxi and be home soonest. Speaking of home, I remembered I was going to face my mother and do some explanation as to where I had slept that night.Bringing out my phone from my pocket, as I got to the gate, I discovered that I had twenty missed calls from Cora, Arya, and Mum. I bit my lips. My mind was totally blank on any lie to tell. Lie? No way! I was going to tell them the truth. Besides, I didn't force myself on him, Arya did.I opened the door to our house and was met with two mean, non-smiling, and glaring faces — my mum and my twin."Good morning, mum." I greeted her but got no response. I glanced at my mum. She had her unsmiling gaze fixed on me.What was wrong?Arya stood in the middle of the sitting
~ADRIAN~My teeth gnashed against each other in anguish as I stared at the portrait of her hanging on the wall in my chamber. The one who was at the center of my heart — Adriana. She was the bane of my existence. But the cold hands of death snatched her away from me alongside our pup during her childbirth. Their death dealt me a heavy blow, especially hers. It was a wonder how I survived till now. But one thing was sure, I wasn't the same loving and peaceful Alpha Adrian from years back. I had grown more ruthless by the day and even chased away all my fellow Alpha friends. Life made no sense to me again, and my loins had not stirred from the time I lost her until last night.My beta, Dexter dragged me to some annual party at the outskirts of the pack, with an excuse for me to loosen up. Yeah, I did. I soaked myself in several drinks and became drunk. That was why I couldn't hold it in when that slut came and started grinding herself against me. My mind was blurred to what happened
~ADRIAN~My driver pulled to a halt in front of a bungalow in Maydean pack. My Beta, Dexter, had returned a few hours ago to tell me that his sources found the girl in Maydean pack. So, we set out together.We alighted and made for the building, a sick feeling growing inside of me as the event of last night tugged at my mind.Dexter knocked softly and we waited for a few seconds before we heard approaching footsteps. The door opened revealing the very slut that broke my celibacy of five years.She flashed me a wolfish smile. "Alpha Adrian," She cooed and I growled staring derisively at her."Come in." She bounced away from the door, opening it wider to allow us entrance.My mind was doing some pondering. First of all, I wasn't expecting her to be this nice after the way I lashed out at her and chased her out. Again, the slut I slept with had a gentle and homely aura surrounding her. More like I was dealing with one person with multiple personalities.I stepped in and her scent swept t
~ARIA~My life was taking a drastic turn right before my very eyes, and there was little or nothing I could do about it. It wasn't enough for the goddess that she made me a late shifter, and took away my father — the only solace I had in this world, causing my promiscuous mother and sister to toss me around the way they wanted.No, it wasn't enough. I was forcefully had by a ruthless Alpha who treated me like a leper afterwards. Now, he was back in my life, spouting what I wasn't comprehending, and threatening me on top of it.Cora said he was the Alpha of their pack. Technically, I had to obey him rather than being forced into it. I didn't have any option. I was already within the pack. Any attempt to run would send me into the dungeon or worse.Cora had begged me to do it, with tears rolling down our cheeks. Whether I wanted to do it or not, I would be forced to do it.How can one be so ruthless?"Sleeping with me forcefully wasn't enough for you. You are also forcing me into carry
~ADRIAN~ I felt guilty for threatening her. My heart couldn't rest, but that was the only way to get her to do it. All the anger I had for her earlier, dissipated because she was clearly not the whore here, it was her sister. I wasn't sure she was going to take up the breeding arrangement despite my threat. I mean, considering the way I treated her that night. Every lady in her shoes would hate me and wouldn't want to have anything to do with me. I knew she might hate me now, but she still accepted. A part of me was happy that she did. So, I decided right here on my balcony never to treat her badly again. "Aria..." I breathed her name, the event of that night creeping up in my mind. I knew I wasn't in my right head but my body surprisingly ignites whenever I think of it. I didn't give room for the thoughts because I thought it was her that seduced me. But now that I knew better, I couldn't help but feel shivers at the thought of it. She really felt good. Realizing where m
~ARIA~With every touch of his that landed on my body, my insides were getting more heated, igniting sparks in every place seemingly possible. I hated him, but the reactions of my body to his touch were dissipating every form of hatred that I felt for him. To make things worse, Ria, my wolf, was purring in delight at his touch. She kept demanding that I let him know that we were mated, but no. Despite the pleasure his touches were giving, he was still the same man that called me a slut and accused me of seducing him."He may have realized his mistake, tell him, Aria." My wolf pressed on amid the gush of emotions I was trying to fight. The mate bond wasn't making it easier, plus the memories of that night. It was rough, but it sent shivers through my spine at the thought of it."Not now, Ria. Have you forgotten he has a mate?" I replied and she whimpered. I felt her pain. The pain of being with your mate but not acknowledged."But she's dead..." She countered."But he still loves he
~ ADRIAN~ Watching her lay breathlessly beside me, thighs apart and panting for breath, made me realize I had done it again. This time, I wasn't under the influence of any alcohol, I did it in my sober state. Setting eyes on her body, I couldn't think straight anymore. My body was ignited like never before. Something about her slender but curvaceous body drove me to the edge. I used to be in control of my body when I set my eyes on she-wolves, even humans. None of the ones I had seen had appealed to me the way hers did. So, believe me when I say that I lost control. For the first time since Adriana died, my body jolted awake at the sight of a feminine bare body, and, in my clear eyes, I had sex with her. When I decided to go check up on her, I didn't have in mind that I was going to do anything with her. I was just being a caring host, trying to rewrite her first impression of me. Well, look where we ended. I snapped out of my thoughts as she tried to sit up. I held her
~ARIA~After the Alpha left, I sat there for several minutes. My thoughts couldn't stop thinking back to the sex we just had. There were a lot of emotions coming from him, which was surprising to me.His touch and hold were so gentle and soothing, crumbling down every of my reservations. Tonight's sex wasn't as rough as last night. It was way intense and it ended up imprinting a new wave of emotion on me. The hatred I had for him earlier had dissipated, and it wasn't because of his apologies. It was the way he handled me like I was his lover or mate.Had he forgotten about his dead mate yet?He wasn't drunk this time, he was very sober. Did that mean he was attracted to me in any way? I wanted to know, but then, of what use was it? Even though he was my mate, I was just a breeder. I sighed softly and rested my head on the headboard. What was wrong with me? Why was I caring how he took me?"Because he's our mate..." Ria's voice seeped through my thoughts. "And his skills in bed are
~ADRIAN~Slipping into the passenger seat, I caught sight of a smirk tugging at the corner of Dexter's lips. I knew it had everything to do with what he saw in the courtyard. Aria and I, no doubt. I also knew he was itching to say something, but of course, he couldn't do it without my command."Go ahead, say it," I commanded in my Alpha voice that gave him no room to hesitate."Forgive me Alpha for wanting to intrude in your personal life..." He began, giving me a pleading look."Go ahead and say what's on your mind." I urged him on. Navigating through the slightly busy tarred road that led to the city of Manhattan where my company was located, he cleared his throat, gripping the steering wheel nervously. I could tell he was scared of what I would do to him if his question or statement ended up angering me. But I could already tell what it was."Do you like Aria?" He muttered weakly, chancing a second glance at me, probably to ascertain my expression.Relaxing in my seat, I couldn't
~ARIA~I stood there watching him as he sprinted off. He looked so graceful and manly running off like that. He's filled with strength and vigour, deserving of an Alpha."My Alpha..." I breathed with a smile. I knew it wasn't advisable to pop the champagne just yet, but a part of me knew that he was going to give me the answers that I needed. I wasn't sure at first, but the way he held onto me protectively when I got here and his kiss, plus the jealous look on his face when he saw me with Dexter, hinted his answers.In that case, I was really looking forward to our love making tonight. My core throbbed at the thought of his hard, huge maleness sliding into my very wet pussy. Damn! I could feel myself dripping just at the thought.I smiled, running my tongue around my lower lip and testing him there."He's ours..." Ria purred and for the first time I agreed with her undoubtedly."Ours." I repeated, wrapping my arms around my body and relishing the warmth of his hold. Goddess, I had fal
~ADRIAN~As I stood inside the courtyard, admiring beautiful flowers in the small garden. My wolf stirred and I knew that she was near.The fact that she didn't have to be within my eyesight for Adel to stir, awed me. It meant that my wolf could sense her presence without even seeing her.Then I turned to know if she had entered the courtyard but she hadn't. She was with Dexter at the entrance of the courtyard and they were smiling about something. I growled possessively as I saw her smiling without a care in the world at Dexter. I trusted Dexter not to betray me or stab me in the back, still, I was aware that I hadn't marked my territory when it came to Aria. Maybe he saw her as just my breeder, and he had an interest in her.My fists clenched tightly, and so did my jaw. But then, I knew Dexter, he would never put his eyes on any girl that I had my eyes on."Calm down, Adrian," I said to myself. It wasn't news to Dexter that I had my eyes on Aria. I had spotted his knowing smiles on
~ARIA~Nothing was as cute as waking up in the morning to see your man propped on an elbow, staring at you as though you were the giver of life itself. I hadn't gotten over how giddy and sizzling that made me feel— in between my legs.Even the expression on his face was heavenly and I saw myself falling for him more and more. As I lay on the bed after he was gone, I kept going over our brief exchange before he left.The way he stared at me as if he had already claimed me. The way he called me Ocean, personalizing the name to him.I couldn't stop humming it to myself. The way he looked distracted as though he was lost in my face. He was attracted to me. There was no mistaking that. It was all over him last night and this morning. For him not to make a move on me despite being all heated, down, was an indication that he liked keeping his promises, and it also showed that despite being affected by my body, he still respected me. "Maybe it's time to tell him that we are mated." I mused,
~ADRIAN~The day dawned bright and clear, and from the morning sun that was already high up in the sky, it was obvious that it was going to be a sunny day.I propped myself on an elbow while I stared at the sleeping beauty beside me. She was sleeping so peacefully and beautifully without a care in the world, as though she hadn't given me the most torturous night of my life.I chuckled. I guess I had to rephrase that. To be fair, I was the one who gave myself the torture because I was the one who leaned into her body and started grinding against her, half expecting that she would push me away, but she didn't.I had slept with a boner, thanks to my need for her warmth, but towards the middle of the night when I couldn't bear it, I had to jerk off inside her bathroom with the image of her luscious body imprinted in my mind.Now, as I lay down beside her and enjoyed the view of her sun-kissed face— thanks to the window I had opened earlier— I felt my bulge growing larger again. Above and
~ARIA~My insides heated as soon as he leaned into me, causing my already hard nipples to push through my silky nightgown, seeking to mate with his chest.I could hear his breath heightening and his already hard member brushed against my pussy, causing him to stifle a groan.As arousing as his actions were, I needed to remind him that he was trespassing. After all, he promised not to."Watch out for the bulge in between your legs, Alpha. I can feel it grazing against me." I pointed out, eliciting a chuckle from him as he buried his face in my neck, causing a tingling sensation to erupt through me.His nose made a sniffing sound, and I could tell he was sniffing and inhaling my scent. His signature scent had already filled my nose, causing Ria to whimper and my heart to thump with desire."Don't worry, baby girl. I got this." He assured as he continued inhaling my scent and groaning in response."As for what you said earlier... You are more than a breeder to me." I heard him say as he
~ARYA~The evening air was nice, I observed as I took a slow sip of my whisky while glancing around the local bar located on the outskirts of Moon Crescent Pack. I figured it was the best time to get laid, but that wasn't just the reason I came here. Getting here was easy, but I knew that to enter the pack without having to go through the guards at the boundary of Moon Crescent Pack, I needed to be in the arms of a guy— preferably a guy from the pack.That was why I chose the exact spot where I was seated. It allowed me the opportunity to see anyone who entered the bar.I heard from the bartender that Moon Crescent pack members usually came here every evening to unwind, and I found it very convenient because, unlike my old-fashioned twin sister Aria, no man could be able to resist my charm.I allowed myself a sardonic smile as my gaze pinned on the entrance as I recalled with bitterness how Aria skillfully stole Alpha Adrian from my arms. "He had already fallen for my charms..." I b
~ADRIAN~"Come in."I breathed in relief when I heard that. I never knew that I would be allowed into her room tonight, seeing the murderous look on her face on the front porch and now.That kiss was a leap of faith. Hell, I thought I would be slapped for it. Although I didn't think she would have the fear to do that, the look on her face would have at least tipped me off of her intention to, but I didn't see any look that mirrored such intention.All I could see was shock, and that at least relaxed me to further explain what went on between Harriett and me.Coming in, her scent of strawberry filled the room, causing my wolf to purr uncontrollably. We had gotten so connected that my wolf now identified her scent, even the faintest of it.My gaze rested on her, dipping to her gorgeous backside. She had her back turned, probably grabbing something from the fridge."What do I serve you, Alpha? Or you don't drink this late?" She asked, turning with a deadpan look on her face.My gaze ling
~ARIA~A few minutes after Cora left, I decided I could use a warm bath. The day was really an eventful one. It was going great at first, but on reaching the climax, things went downhill.In other words, Alpha Adrian and I were really connecting right from the time I met him at the training ground, back to the Alpha mansion where he rebuffed Harriet's advances, sponsoring my outfit and makeover for the festival, and being all nice and cozy towards me with those cute smiles of his. Only for him to go back to the same Harriett he rebuffed.My nose flared as I slid down the gown and stepped out of it. Cora said maybe I was mistaken; maybe he was trying to remove Harriet's hands not guarding it to his bulge. But what if he was really guarding it to his bulge? Despite him being my mate and me falling head over heels for him, I didn't know him well. And his history with Harriett made it hard to believe."They should rid this world of those crazy exes that turn up to cause a shit storm."
