Marcelyn took a deep breath to calm her fast-growing jealousy. She knew that if she didn't, the jealousy would turn to anger and she was bound to do something awful. She looked at the arm the woman still had about Darell and shook her head to clear her head. For all she knows, the woman could simply be an acquaintance to Darell.With that thought in mind, she took another step towards them and stopped again as Darell whispered something to the redhead with him. The redhead smiled and hugged Darell, then promptly kissed him on the cheek. The jealousy Marcelyn had been trying to keep at bay sufficed. Before it would turn into anger and she would murder anyone, she turned away from the two lovers and walked away from the park.Darell pulled himself away from the hold Hannah had on him.When a woman had stopped in front of them and gave him a suggestive look, he had thought that he had seen a way out of the predicament he was in, only for Hannah to put her arm around him in a manner th
Marcelyn moved her phone to a better angle so that she would be able to follow the chef well without missing any vital point of the things he was saying about the meal he was preparing. The thing was she was cooking a meal for Darell as a surprise. She knew that he wouldn't be expecting such a thing from her and that added to her enthusiasm for making a sumptuous meal for him.After Marcelyn had left the park in anger, she returned home and waited for Darell to return. When he returned, she immediately confronted him without letting him get even a breathing space. Darell had laughed at her first before explaining to her that there was nothing between her and the redhead. When he had told Marcelyn that they were only together because they needed to get something for his mother, she had relaxed visibly.After that day, he made sure to return home every night to sleep. Then, once it was morning, he dressed up and went about his daily duty. This left Marcelyn alone in the house with lo
That broke the spell for Darell, and he stopped what he was doing. Slowly, he disengaged from Marcelyn and cleared his throat. His wolf screamed in protest, but Darell shushed it down. He looked at Marcelyn, who stood still like a statue, and spoke."Anyway, what I wanted to tell you was that I don't want you to change since I like you just the way you are," Darell told his mate.Without waiting for an answer, he walked up to his room, leaving a dazed Marcelyn staring at his back.Marcelyn stretched a little, and the tiredness she felt radiated all over her face. She had her head on Darell's lap while the man was getting some work done on his iPhone.He would stop what he was doing at intervals and thread his right hand through Marcelyn's hair to feel the softness of it.Sometimes, he would love a few strands between his fingers and twist them around to play with them. A time or two, he had bent down and stolen a kiss from Marcelyn when she least expected it.Marcelyn felt very happy
When the angry growl sounded outside again, Darell froze for a moment. He would recognize that growl anywhere in the world. It was the same growl his younger sister made when her prey escaped from her during their hunting nights. If he was right, Bella was already shifting into her wolf form and would be barging in at any moment from then on if he didn't stop her. Without wasting any more time, he ran to the door.Marcelyn felt hurt when she saw Darell rush to the door to open it up for the woman she had closed the door on. She should have known that he would choose one of his lovers over her since he was always uncomfortable with her. Still, the reality of the situation hit her hard in the face as she felt not just hurt but humiliated. She glanced up just as Darell threw the door open.What she saw next captivated her. The blue-eyed woman she had slammed the door on no longer had the face of a woman but that of a wolf. Her hands were beginning to cover in fur, and some parts of
Marcelyn knew that she had seen the redhead with Darell before, and she felt jealous when she remembered how the redhead had held Darell tightly back then at the park. But since she had made a wrong judgment about a woman earlier who turned out to be Darell's sister, she didn't want to repeat the same mistake.Surprise registered on Hannah's face when she saw that it was a woman who opened the door. Her mind registered the fact that the woman she was staring at could be the one rumored to be Darell's mate."Are you Marcelyn?" Hannah asked to be sure."Yes, I am," Marcelyn answered with a polite smile.Hannah didn't say anything else, and she just turned and walked away from Marcelyn. When she was gone, Marcelyn shrugged and locked the door firmly behind her.When Marcelyn went back to the three-seaters, she picked up her phone and resumed playing the Candy Crush game since she could no longer go back to sleep after the little drama the redhead had displayed. Halfway through her firs
Darell looked at the screen of his phone and saw that it was dead. He pressed the power button until the phone switched on again but then, it died again halfway through its booting. He looked around the room he was in to see if he could find somewhere to boost the phone but he didn't see any. He dropped the phone into his pocket and walked out of the building to where he parked his car.As he walked, he seethed with anger. Why would Hannah have the mind to show herself in his house when he hadn't invited her over? He couldn't stop wondering what she had said to Marcelyn and knowing Marcelyn as he does, he knew how intuitive the woman was. Even if Hannah hadn't said anything, Marcelyn could easily connect the dots and know about what was going on. Right but this time, Darell knew that Marcelyn would be boiling in anger. He got into the car and drove straight to Hannah's house.Hannah sat among her three friends, lost in thoughts about the woman she had met at Darell's house. When s
Hannah growled and sat down again as her friends brought out their makeup kits and helped her touch up her face. In two minutes, they were done with the task and Hannah smiled her thanks at them. By the time she stood up to open up the door, her wolf was already wincing in her head about how loud the ringing had gotten.Darell rang the doorbell again when he didn't get any response. His anger was beginning to escalate because Darell knew for certain that the redhead was in the room and was only choosing not to reply to him. He had almost turned around to leave when his wolf ears picked up tiny sounds from inside which was why he was still ringing her bell.When he saw that that didn't yield any positive response, Darell ignored the doorbell and began to bang on the door. His fist was about to hit the door again for the fourth time when Hannah opened up. His eyes fell on the ladies seated on the floor in the room and how excited they looked at him and their friend. Darell wondered i
Bella twisted her body to the rhythm of the music playing in the club. She felt very happy to be in the club that night and it was not because she liked clubbing but because she was finally able to be with the one person who made her feel extremely happy whenever they were together. Being at school had made her miss him so much that she couldn't wait until she saw him.Although he had come to see her about three times during her stay, they were stolen visits and so the stays were limited. Plus, they had to be wary of the fact that some of the royal werewolves' guards her brother had set after her to protect her secretly might spot them. Bella had always expressed her fears to her lover and she had made sure that they took extra cautious.It wasn't that she wasn't brave or she feared easily but with the situation on the ground and the entanglement surrounding their affairs, Bella knew that being careful and discreet was the only way they could carry on the relationship without alerti
