As Darell drove away from the scene where Hannah had claimed that Marcelyn had attacked her, he began to wonder if the redhead had not played a fast one on him because she knew how worried he was about his mate. He reprimanded himself for having such a thought toward the gentle redhead who had been nothing but supportive after she heard that Marcelyn was missing from the mansion. Even though he wasn't interested in her, Darell didn't fail to notice how kind she was.But still, he was very worried about his mate. Even if it was true that Hannah had had an encounter with her and Marcelyn had attacked her, that still didn't guarantee to Darell that she was safe. The only time he would be able to rest assured about her safety was when he saw her with his two eyes, otherwise, his mind would never be at ease. Why had she left the house anyway? Darell thought as he drove to his house. He had decided to sleep over at the place since it was a lot closer to him than the packhouse mansion wa
Hannah was examining her neck carefully in front of the mirror when she heard the knock on her door. She picked up a scarf and tied it around her neck before she stood up from the mirror and went to open the door with high hopes that it was Darell who was on the other end of the door to check on her. After he had rushed off in search of the vampire woman, Hannah had been waiting for him to return to the mansion and also to check on her. When she saw that it was only Bella on the other end, she was disappointed but she masked the emotions completely before the other woman would see it and thought that Hannah didn't want her around."Hey, Bella.* she called with a sweet tone. And although her voice was still hoarse from screaming earlier, she didn't let it reflect as the characteristic of a woman who should be a Luna was to hide her pain well.Bella smiled at Hannah as she accepted her invitation to enter the room. When they were both seated on the bed, Bella held up the ointment bot
Bella was surprised to hear those words that the redhead said. At first, she thought that the woman was joking but when she didn't retract the statements, Bella had no choice but to believe her."But you are from the full moon clan of the Colven pack!" She still recoiled in shock."True, I am but I still can't shift at will. You should know how hard it was not being able to shift at will," Hannah admitted in a low tone.No, Bella didn't know how hard it was to shift at will since she could shift whenever she wanted. If anyone had asked her if Hannah could shift at will, she would have gladly said yes. Why was fate so cruel to such a gentle and kind soul like Hannah? Why wasn't she given the power to be nice as she was? But Bella also knew that some people couldn't shift whenever they wanted even though they were from the full moon clan also. Most of the other wilful shifters she knows were the warriors who protected the pack."I didn't realize that it affected you too," Bella said as
The man grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back to the couch she had just gotten up from. She fell on the couch on her back and Darell sat on her thigh, impaling her in place. His mischievous grin when she tried to get up told her that she won't be able to get him off her."Why were you so rash with me earlier?'' Darell asked her.Marcelyn looked away from him. She didn't want to tell him that she had behaved the way she did because she had been angry about what she saw. Telling him about that little secret would make him realize that she was jealous and he would know that she cared about him more than she let out.But she also thought that he deserved to know. She should have let him know that she knew about what had happened between him and the redhead that night. That way, he would know that she was aware of his unfaithfulness despite his claim that he was going to marry her and no more else. Now that she thought about it, she wondered why he had gone to such a length to c
Darell knew that she must have noticed his behavior change but he refused to open his eyes and give in to the desire to eat him raw. When he felt her lips on his chest, his eyes shot open instantly and he looked at her. He didn't need a soothsayer to warn him that his eyes had changed to that of fire blue, Marcelyn's expression was enough. She removed her hands from his waist and he moaned about the loss."Why did you say that I can't go back to the mansion? You don't want me over there?" She asked him.Did she want to discuss such a trivial thing now? Darell thought. Now when he was losing control of himself because of her? He decided to answer her in any case even though his wolf protested."Because you tried to kill Hannah. Everyone is a little on the edge for you right now. Unless you promise to be on your best behavior around her, I'm not taking you back." He told her."She deserves whatever fate before her in my hands," Marcelyn retorted."Marcelyn?" Darell called in a clear wa
Marcelyn woke up the next morning feeling a bit disoriented. She turned her head to the side and saw Darell's sleeping form next to her. Memories of the previous night flooded her mind and she blushed at the thought of how she had lost herself in him. She had never been so consumed by passion before, but with Darell, everything felt different.She got up from bed and made her way to the bathroom. As she washed her face, she couldn't help but think about what she had promised Darell the night before. She had promised to behave around Hannah, but the thought of that woman still made her blood boil. She knew she had to keep her word, but it wouldn't be easy.As she walked back into the bedroom, Darell stirred and opened his eyes. He looked at her with a soft smile, and Marcelyn couldn't help but smile back."Good morning," he said, his voice deep and husky."Good morning," she replied.Darell sat up on the bed and reached out to take her hand. "Last night was incredible," he said.Marce
As the days passed, Marcelyn found herself falling deeper in love with Darell. They spent their days exploring the city, going to museums and art galleries, and enjoying each other's company. Marcelyn couldn't believe how lucky she was to have found someone like him. But despite the happiness they shared, there was still tension between Marcelyn and Hannah. Marcelyn tried her best to be civil around the other woman, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Hannah was still trying to steal Darell away from her. One night, as they were all gathered in the living room of Darell's palace, Marcelyn couldn't take it anymore. She stood up, her eyes flashing with anger. "Why are you still here, Hannah?" she spat. "Why are you still trying to come between us?" Hannah looked taken aback by the sudden outburst. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said. "Don't play dumb with me," Marcelyn snapped. "I know you've been trying to seduce Darell since the moment you met him." Darell stoo
Marcelyn opened her eyes and gasped. The room was filled with roses, their petals soft and velvety against her skin. There were candles everywhere, their warm glow casting a romantic light over everything."Darell," she whispered, feeling tears prick at the corners of her eyes.Darell pulled her into a hug. "I just wanted to do something special for you," he said.Marcelyn leaned into him, feeling overwhelmed with love for him. "You always know how to make me feel special," she said.As they sat down on the soft carpet, Darell pulled out a bottle of wine and poured them each a glass. They toasted their love and their future together, feeling more in love than ever before.As they sipped their wine, Marcelyn couldn't help but think about their future. She knew that there would be challenges, but she also knew that they would face them together. With Darell by her side, she felt like she could conquer anything.As they talked and laughed, Marcelyn felt a sense of contentment wash over h
