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
Lily Who needs a boyfriend when you can get a massage with a happy ending? Packless and alone, with nothing but my thoughts and a feeling of abandonment, I stroll through the doors of luxury. Normally, I would never be able to afford to get a massage at this place. I'm a brokeass rogue, but today is different. Today is the day of my twenty-fifth birthday, and I have the most marvelous surprise waiting for me: an adventurous massage. Did Juanita rob someone to give me this birthday present? It wouldn’t surprise me if she pulled out some crazy stunt like that. Because one thing’s for sure... This place screams money. I guess there’s only one way to find out. Juanita told me to knock on door sixty-nine, and my knuckle is hovering above the wood. My heart rate is a few beats above normal since anxiety has gripped my entire body. I need to calm down. This is supposed to be relaxing, I remind myself; it’s not like I’m about to rob a bank or something. With a sigh, I finally raise my f
LilyThe reason I smoke is because I’m agitated without it. Restless. Easily overwhelmed. A lunatic with way too many daily panic attacks. I had one earlier, I’m sure, but damn, where the heck am I?“Do you feel better now?”My eyes fully open to the sound of a sexy male voice, and I freeze into a block of ice when concerned, green eyes meet mine. The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen on this planet is lying in front of me, so I guess that part when a hot guy massaged me wasn’t a dream...I’m suddenly struggling to breathe.The man in front of me is single-handedly putting every book boyfriend I’ve ever read to shame. He is dressed in nothing but a crisp t-shirt and a pair of boxers, and his clothes barely hide his perfectly carved “V” and lower abs. He is incredibly attractive, and the little smile on his lips tells me he is very aware of me checking him out.He tilts his head to the side. “I wasn’t sure whether or not to call an ambulance, but perhaps passing out is a normal occurre
Lily “I don’t even know the name of your pack,” I say in a low tone after having had sex three times with Alpha Wesley. I’m not sure how the massage turned into a naughty business, but I think I’m crushing on the man sprawled on the bed in front of me. He grins at me while holding up his head with his muscular arm. Is this the sexiest Alpha alive, or what? It’s hard not to notice his muscular form, and it shouldn’t be possible, but my cunt comes to life for the fourth time when a telltale smirk curves his lips. “The Luan pack,” he says, gauging my reaction. “That’s the name of my pack...have you ever heard of it?” Not good. What do I tell him? I can’t just go ahead and admit I’m a rogue and have no idea what pack is which and what. I know nothing! Will Wesley judge me for that? Most werewolves don’t respect us packless wolves, and I have a feeling someone with a high position like Wesley would hate me on the spot if he knew what I was. He would also probably be disgusted that he h
LilyMy worst nightmare is here. I’m pregnant, and the child belongs to Wesley Brooks—my asshole of an Alpha mate who rejected me for being a rogue. It seems he is also the CEO of Brooks Industries. That bastard is selling phones and computers, even to the magical realm, and just happens to be a billionaire because, of course, he is! It’s just my luck to get kicked to the curb by the whole package.I stroke my hand over the bump on my stomach when I feel light kicking and let out a deep breath. “Don’t worry, honey. Daddy might be a jerk, but I don’t regret you. I only regret that I didn’t slap his pretty face when I had the chance. He is a total asshole, and we don’t need him, but what we do need is his money...”It’s embarrassing to admit this, but I’m broke and in desperate need of money. I’m living in the worst apartment New Jin City has to offer, and I’m late on rent. And to add to my misery, I’m three months pregnant, which means my baby is most likely a human. A werewolf pregnan
WesleyI slowly blink, but it doesn’t work. The tiny brunette is still sitting beside me in my car. I’m not hallucinating. This nightmare is real.Lily is pregnant with my child.The olive-skinned, brown-eyed pathetic rogue that was abandoned by her pack for being a lazy “herb” smoking weakling will forever be a part of my life. (Yes, I looked up the reason why she was kicked out of her pack.)I sigh.How did it come to this?I wasn’t thinking when I had sex with Lily. My head was too busy listening to my cock, and now I’m here, sitting in my limousine with a fucking rogue. My chauffeur is taking us to my mansion, and I swear it’s hell sharing a seat with this failure of a werewolf. She keeps glancing up at me, looking scared, and that’s the only positive thing about this situation, that I scare her. I hope that will keep her from talking, but I’m not that lucky...“How much further?” Lily asks, and I inwardly groan at the sparkle in her dark eyes. She is the talkative kind, isn’t she
Lily When my eyes flutter open, I’m confused. This isn’t my shitty apartment, but a nice master bedroom with furniture that looks like it cost a fortune. The walls are painted a warm creamy white, and the large open windows let in streams of sunshine, illuminating hummingbird feeders that hang outside. A plush beige rug is spread on the floor, creating an inviting space in front of the tall four-poster bed I’m currently resting on. I’m almost ashamed to be using it. Its pristine white sheets are too nice for a rogue to sleep on. “That’s right...” I groan to myself and place my hand over the little bump on my stomach, rubbing it as I whisper to myself in an irritated voice. “I told Wesley that I’m pregnant with his child, and he brought me here...shit. How could I forget?” It’s all coming back to me now. How rude Wesley was in the limousine and how he didn’t even tell me goodnight before disappearing inside his study. I slowly slip out of bed and grab my robe from the side table. I
LilyAfter finishing eating breakfast with Eva, I’m not too surprised when Wesley strides into the kitchen while looking stressed. It seems like he just jumped into his suit without ironing it first. There are folds in it, and the upper buttons are open to reveal more skin and muscles that I’m comfortable with. It really confuses me how Wesley is both attractive and intimidating all at the same time...“Wesley, darling, that suit is obviously too small for your shoulders,” Eva points out to her grandson. “You should head upstairs to get another one.”“There is no time for that. I’m meeting with my client in ten minutes,” he glares around the room and runs a hand through his dark hair. It’s messy, like he hasn’t had time to fix it, but somehow, that only makes him look sexier. “Where is my breakfast?”Eva lifts an eyebrow. “Honey, I think you’re old enough to make your own breakfast.”Wesley glares at her. “You made breakfast for the rogue but not for your own grandson?”“Her name is L
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.

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
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
