Tess

My heart aches when I step inside Lucas’ room. He called my name a minute ago, so I’m here, ready to read another chapter from the latest romance novel I bought. The problem is that I would be anywhere but here. I like him, I really do! But I feel like a worm inside an apple—disgusting and like I don’t belong since Freddy brainwashed me.

The worst part is that I can’t speak about it. Neither can I write it down—I tried that already, but my compulsion keeps me from giving anyone a clue. I’m a prisoner inside my own break, unable to tell anyone that I’ve turned into the enemy’s unwilling spy. It claws at me, and I feel like I’m dying when Lucas meets my eyes.

“Hi,” he says, eyeing me from his bed with his intense blue eyes locked on mine.

For a good minute, I can’t think or move. I’m spellbound. Lucas could seriously be a painting. His thick, veiny arms are resting behind his head, making them bulge with muscle. He has already healed, already turned back to his beautiful self, w

    Tess No matter how hard I try to stop them, my tears won’t stop falling. It feels like my soul has been ripped into a billion pieces, and I have no idea how to glue myself together again. Not only is my wolf gone, but now even my fated mate has decided I’m not good enough for him. And all because I’m a human. The irony is not lost on me: I had to give up on my wolf to save Lucas’ life, which resulted in him not wanting me. Damn. Should I have told him the truth? That I’m the reason he is still breathing? No. That would have made Lucas be with me out of obligation, not true love, which sucks... I keep sniffing into the dark while hugging my blanket tightly around my shivering body. I’m all alone inside my new room, probably the only person awake in the entire mansion because I doubt Lucas had trouble falling asleep. Did he even feel guilty for rejecting me like that? More tears drip down on my pillow, and I continue crying my heart out until I hear the balcony door opening. It slow

    TessThe following morning, I wake up to Claudia’s voice. “Good morning, sunshine! Why are you still in bed? We have so many things to do!”Groaning, I rub some dirt from the corner of my eyes and look up at the blonde werewolf currently standing inside my room. She is standing by the window, and I shriek when she abruptly pulls away the curtains with a bright smile.“Look at the sun!” she exclaims in my direction. “It’s a beautiful day for mischief, Tess!”“Mischief?” I ask. Claudia is by far the most energetic friend I have and probably the one closest to me.“Mhm, now that we are members of the Luan pack, I think that it’s about time we find part-time jobs. And guess what? There is this coffee shop in town,” she fishes up her phone from her pocket, handing it over to me. I take it in my hands as I sit down and stare down at the job advertisement.“The Coffee Shop?” I repeatedly blink at the name. It feels a bit lacking and non-creative. “A-are you sure this is a good place to apply

    TessLucas bellows, “What do you mean you’re moving out?!” He is not trying to be intimidating, but at 6’4 feet tall, it just has that natural effect on me.I stand there, trembling in my shoes, as he towers over me. Luckily, Claudia steps between us with her eyes glaring daggers at Lucas.“Tess is moving out because you’re an idiotic wolf who doesn’t know how lucky he is to have her as his mate! Do you even realize how stupid you are?!” She prods a finger into his chest, making him repeatedly blink when she keeps it between his two pectoral muscles.“Don’t touch me...” Lucas hisses, but Claudia doesn’t look one bit afraid of the larger werewolf.“No, because if I move, you’re just going to try and talk Tess out of leaving. And guess what? I won’t let you. She is making the right decision to leave your mansion since you clearly need to figure your shit out, like the fact you’re being stupid.”Lucas growls. “It’s not safe for her to leave! Tess is a human now, and Wesley is too busy wa

    TessThe club is throbbing with energy tonight, the beats blasting in my ears, the floor shaking beneath me. People push and shove against each other as they make their way through the crowd. Flashing neon lights illuminate the scene, creating an atmosphere of chaos and excitement.“Are you having fun?” Claudia asks me while dancing beside me. There are a few werewolves from the pack checking out her rack, and she winks at them but quickly focuses her eyes on me to show me that she is listening. I smile. “W-well... it’s certainly better than being stuck with my mate that doesn’t want me.”She frowns. “Still thinking about Lucas?” I give her a faint nod, and she rolls her eyes. “Then you haven’t had enough to drink. We should do Jell-O shots right now!”We make our way to the bar, and Claudia orders us two Jell-O shots. We clink our glasses together and down them in one go. The sugary sweetness quickly takes over my taste buds, and I feel a warmth spreading across my body. My cheeks f

    TessPanic overwhelms me when growls and snarls come from every direction. The Luan pack—my pack—is changing into their wolf forms, but since I’m a human, I can’t help them win against the Safir pack. I can only stand and stare while trying hard to continue supporting Claudia’s weight.“Ughh... ugh!” Claudia makes a barfing sound and suddenly bends forward to empty her stomach right on my white shoes. I stare at them in horror, and she gives me a small apologetic smile. “Sorry... I’m drunk.”“I can see that,” my attention is quickly brought to the fight scene when I hear whimpering coming from all around us. The club is packed with wolves, but my pack isn’t winning because everyone seems to be drunk. I can feel Claudia’s weight becoming heavier, her body slumping against mine. I know I need to get her out of here before things worsen. I carefully maneuver us both through the crowd, trying to avoid any stray claws or teeth and make my way towards the exit.As we near the door, a hand

    TessDesperation surges through me, and I take off running, screaming for Wesley and Lucas to stop. They pay no attention, so I do the only thing I can think of—I grab onto Wesley’s fur with both my hands and tug as hard as I can. He gives a yelp of surprise and jumps back in shock. Lucas does the same, wide-eyed, when he realizes I am standing over Freddy protectively, crying my eyes out.“Don’t hurt him!” I shout. “Stop!” I’m still sobbing uncontrollably when the Luan pack becomes silent. Lucas looks at Wesley uncertainly, hesitant to move or speak until the Alpha has made his decision. None of us makes a move until Wesley shape-shifts back into a human. “Why are you protecting him?” Wesley asks. Silently, I glance down at Freddy. He is down on his back on the asphalt and too injured to move. To my relief, he is rapidly healing though, a reminder of him being an immortal hybrid. The wounds on his body are closing, but it seems to be taking a toll on him. He is panting while star

    TessMy heart thumps wildly in my chest as I sneak out of the mansion and out into the night. I can’t believe I’m going against my own Alpha and Luna. It’s forbidden—crazy, even—but I can’t let Freddy die. He saved my life, and now I have to return the favor. No matter the cost, even if it means breaking all the rules and risking everything. The light of the moon illuminates the path and the petals of the flowers on the ground. My nightgown flutters in the breeze, and I feel the oversized jeans jacket Lily lent me almost swallowing me within its embrace. Do I even look presentable?My black hair is a mess; not combed or cared for in any way. No makeup has graced my face tonight, probably making me look as ugly as I feel… But none of that should matter because I’m not going on a date. I’m just going to save Freddy....so why am I worried that he won’t find me pretty? My cheeks flame at the idea of the attractive hybrid taking in my questionable outfit. He is probably going to think

    TessI press my lips against the ones belonging to Freddy, kissing him while embracing the warm winds inside my chest: I like him. Yes, he is the enemy of my pack, and yes, he is dangerous, but I don’t give a flipping heck. I taste his lips, enjoying it until...I realize he isn’t kissing me back.My eyes widen in terror. Freddy’s eyes are closed but open the second I’m no longer kissing him. He stares at me while I breathe into his face, unsure of what I’ve done. Did I read the whole situation wrong?“I...” My heart is racing, my mind is spinning, and I swallow thickly, realizing what an idiot I am. “I’m so sorry,” I begin saying and try to pull back. But Freddy grabs my hips, holding me still with ease. When I try to fight him, a faint telltale smirk spreads over his lips. He looks massively amused. “Do you like me, Tess?”I blush and avert my eyes. “I made a mistake…”Freddy looks like he is trying not to laugh. “Is that right?”“Mhm...”“So you didn’t enjoy kissing me?”I dare to

    Tess When I return to Wesley’s mansion with Freddy, I’m not surprised by all the stares that we receive. Every pack member is gawking at the handsome hybrid standing behind me. They don’t seem to know whether or not he is the enemy, while Wesley doesn’t look one bit bothered. “Ah, you’re back,” Wesley says while Lily rushes over to hug me. “Tess!” the woman is heavily pregnant, and her big stomach makes it hard to hug her, but I somehow manage to wrap my arms around her neck. “I’m okay,” I tell her and let out a breath of relief before turning around to gesture at Freddy. “Freddy saved me from the Safir pack.” “Did he now?” Wesley asks and cocks his head to the side with an impressed expression. His arms are crossed over the chest of his expensive suit. “And how exactly did you save Tess from the Safir pack? Should I be worried about them coming after us?“ “No,” Freddy says while fixing his cufflinks. “I took care of most of them. I would be surprised if their Alpha had any more

    TessI find many things in this world scary: walking to the bathroom late at night when you don’t have a nightlight on, fake friends, the members of the Safir pack, and last, and probably my biggest fear, is the thought of spending eternity alone. Sue me for thinking that’s a terrible fate, but that is how I feel without lying to myself. I know plenty of women out there are like, “I don’t need a man! I’m strong and independent!” but I’m not one of them. Fuck no. I don’t want to be single for the rest of my life. I want to spend my days with someone special. Laugh and see the world together.And the thought of trusting someone so much that you can show yourself vulnerability to them? That’s beautiful. I want to let someone in. To let them help me whenever I feel low and dead inside. And in return, I want to do the same for them. Love is about giving and taking; I will love my partner through everything. We will face the darkness of this world together and survive side by side. That’s

    FreddyI stare into the woods while feeling like the biggest scumbag on the face of the earth. I thought I could be good for Tess; more than anything, I wanted to make her happy. If I could be half as good and perfect as she has been to me, I thought it would be acceptable for me to be with her. But now it turns out that I’m a blood junkie. I’m addicted to human blood, and without even realizing it, I’ve killed plenty of humans due to my stupid thirst. The worst part is that I can hardly remember anything from it. I blacked out due to my hunger, and that scares me. What if I, on some unfortunate day, blackout and attack Tess? She is the most important person in my life. Her laughter and smile is the only thing able to make me feel like an actual person, and it kills me to realize that while I want to protect her, I might be the most dangerous person in her life.Frustration runs through my veins, and I turn around to walk back to my car. But I don’t make it very far before I hear

  • I'm Pregnant, Sincerely Your Rejected Mate   Chapter 58

    TessI'm at a loss for what to do. I still can't believe Freddy was the one that hurt those girls. Part of me still can't believe it. He is so nice and gentle with me, but it's not like he meant to hurt them. He lost control of his hunger—that's hardly his fault! Drinking blood is in Freddy's nature, and I'm sure he could learn how to control it if given time. I just wish he would let me be part of that journey. Why did he have to leave me? I can handle his darker side, damn it! I'm not made of glass, and I'm tired of people treating me as if I'm going to break at any given moment!Suddenly my phone vibrates, and I get up on my feet. My phone is lying on the armchair with all my clothes. Clothes that Freddy pulled off my body last night before he left me...A pang of sadness shoots through my entire body, remembering how good his lips felt against mine, but I push the pain aside and slide my finger over my screen. There are plenty of messages from Lily and a few from my other friend

    TessAfter spending the evening with Freddy at the beach, he took me to the inn where Jenny works. I don’t remember much of it. I was too tired, but now, in the morning light, I’m smiling because I’m sure this is the best way to wake up. I gaze down at the gorgeous hybrid whose head is between my legs, his tongue teasing and tantalizing me with lip-smacking fervor. My back arches in pleasure as I moan out softly, toes curling from the rapture of the moment.“Oh, Freddy...”His warm tongue runs up and down my pussy, teasing me by flicking my swollen labia. It feels so good! Freddy is eating my pussy like a champ. The soft puff of air through his lips makes my pussy clench whenever it touches me.Another moan escapes me, and Freddy lifts his head, smirking at me until I roll my eyes and push his head back down to where I want it.He chuckles but continues worshipping my cunt.“Oh my God,” I whisper when Freddy adds more pressure to his tongue. Is it possible to die from pleasure? Feeli

    Freddy Tess doesn’t respond after I’ve told her that I see my future wife in her. I’m not surprised. I didn’t expect her to say anything. It was a wild thing to say, yet I needed to say it because it’s the truth. I see a future with her, and the red color rapidly spreading over her beautiful face is more than I could have ever hoped for. Always in my head space, always in my thoughts—I wonder if this woman knows how much of me she owns already. With her long dark hair and big, doe-eyes filled with enough kindness to make the world go around, she is the most stunning soul that I’ve ever seen. My guess would be that Tess has Spanish roots. She is pale, but I suspect that’s from being anti-social and spending more time on her laptop than actually heading out. Not that I mind. I can see a future of us watching her favorite series on her laptop and discussing them afterward. I smile at that and feel butterflies swarm my belly. I’m head-over-heels in love with this little human, and I

    Tess A chill slips down my spine reading Lily’s message. It would be terrible if Freddy was the one who murdered the two human girls, but I really don’t think it’s him. I begin typing back a message... Me: How do you know Freddy is the culprit? It could be any vampire, Lily! It’s not like he is the only freaking bloodsucker in New Jin City, and it really hurts my feelings that you immediately think that it’s him! Three dots immediately appear on my screen. Lily: Fuck. I’m sorry! It’s just... His scent was at one of the crime scenes, and look, I know it might still not be Freddy, but I’m just worried about you because you’re a human now. I sigh as I type. Me: Fair enough, and thank you for the vervain...even though I don’t need it. Lily. No problem. Also, I want to believe Freddy has changed. I mean, he DID save Claudia’s life, but since his scent was on one of the crime scenes, I don’t know what to believe. Me: What if the Safir pack is trying to set him up? They are his e

    TessThe following day after telling Freddy he is on a trial period, I wake up to someone tapping on the window of my balcony. I tiredly turn my head, eyes stopping on Freddy’s left hand, lifting in a wave while the right one appears from behind his back, holding a bouquet of roses. I arch an eyebrow at him, and he smirks. “Hello, Princess,” he says in a lazy voice, and even though the sun is shining and the birds are singing, he manages to look dark, scary, and way too sexy for what is fair when he says, “You ready to head out on our first date?”I’m baffled. When I told Freddy he can be good if he wants to and asked him to show me that he isn’t evil, I don’t know what I expected, but it surely wasn’t this.“I didn’t—...” I purse my lips, eyes locked on the bouquet of flowers before I hesitantly change my sentence, “Those flowers are beautiful. Are they for me?”“They are,” Freddy says from behind the glassed door, cocking his head to one side. “You have to invite me inside, Princes

    Tess“Did you really reject Lucas as your mate?” Jenny asks me after mysteriously calling me over to the inn where she is working. She asked me if I wanted to have lunch with her, and so here I am, ready to eat for free from their luxurious buffet. I smile at her, leaning against the reception desk with a strange feeling in my heart. “I sure did, or I actually asked him to do it because I felt guilty,” a troubled laugh leaves my lips. “It might seem strange to some, but...I really like Freddy. In my eyes, it seems like he accepts me even though I’m a ‘weak’ human, you know?”Jenny’s lips twitch, but she still doesn’t make a move to leave the reception desk. Instead, she is studying me with this secretive expression on her face and sliding me a card key across the wood with the number 666 on it, “Here, take this.”I arch an eyebrow, weighing the card in my hand to then play with it between my fingers. “What’s in room 666?”“Isn’t it obvious?” she asks, smirking. "Uh...no?" I blink. D
