Filippa's POVAn enticing aroma suddenly drifted into my nose, rousing me from sleep. “Baby, wake up. You haven't eaten all day.” Wyatt's voice suddenly sounded next to my ear.My brows knitted in confusion. Shouldn't Wyatt be at home or work? Why was he here? Am I dreaming? However, upon recalling Wyatt's words, I understood immediately.Wyatt must have left his work to feed me. Isn't he the type of person who puts my needs above everything? I opened my eyes, and my eyes fell on his impeccable, handsome face. “Hubby,” I called softly and rubbed my eyes languidly, yawning. I lightly pulled the blanket over me and tried to sit up.Wyatt reached his hand out and supported me to sit up comfortably. He reached out his palm toward my forehead before using his other palm to touch his forehead. A few seconds later, he dropped both hands and kissed my lips softly. “You're fine.” He stated, and I nodded my head before lowering it.Yes, I'm fine, even though I feel like I don't have the right t
I shrunk back and quickly used the blanket to cover myself from Wyatt's penetrating and hungry gaze. I felt a shiver course through my spine at the intensity of his gaze.Wyatt had been fine all along; why did he suddenly become hungry for me?Quickly, I tried to recall our conversation, and suddenly it clicked.All this while, I have been talking about other men, never talking about ourselves. It can't be that Wyatt is annoyed about that, can it? I tilted my neck in confusion.However, I quickly shook my head, eliminating the option.No, if that's what Wyatt wanted, he'd have gone straight to the topic, so that could only mean one thing. Wyatt doesn't want me to ask about the current relationship between Oswald and him.I quickly waved my hand and pushed his needy big hand away with my small ones. “Alright, I won't ask anymore, hubby.” I quickly cried out before Wyatt could press me down, which would make me unable to fight back.And just like I expected, Wyatt leaned back, his darke
“Huh, mated indeed!” A familiar voice suddenly asserted enigmatically behind me, attracting my attention. I paused in my tracks and turned toward Asher in surprise, bewilderment, and curiosity, wondering what he was doing here.After all, Wyatt had agreed to speak to Asher not to train me for the week, so I didn't expect to see him until the next week, which was when our training would begin again.I stared at Asher and tilted my head in a puzzle, wondering the intent of Asher's statement. Should I take his words as a compliment or not? However, I pushed the thought away and nodded my head. “Obviously, right?" I responded.It's obvious that Wyatt and I are together, and I believe the news should have spread throughout the pack. So it made me confused about what Asher meant.Upon hearing my reply, Asher clicked his teeth with his tongue, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at me with a cold glint flickering past his eyes. “The lady in between two friends; what's special about you?” Asher
I took a deep breath and began to dive into the forest to find a rogue to fight with. I recalled that Rex had always been the one to effortlessly do such, but now I have to get used to fighting without him, isn't it?I looked up to the sky to blink rapidly. Perhaps, I might also need to get used to never seeing him again.I paused in my tracks and stared into the distance where Rex's figure disappeared. I wonder if that led to the vampire's clan.Vampire's Clan? What was I thinking? I quickly shook my head to send the distracting thoughts away. Even though I came here to practice, I ended up being unable to do so, due to the myriad of emotions that kept running rampant through my mind.I inhaled heavily and plopped down under the tree Rex usually perched on. Hopefully, I should be able to…“I've been wondering how outstanding the lady who caught his eyes was.“ However, I realized that she was just average. Just a so-so.“ A disdainful, tiny, and feminine voice suddenly sounded behind
My eyes flew wide open, and I stared down at Oswald’s hands, which were currently wrapped around my waist in shock. A sense of fury invades my whole system immediately. How can he keep doing this? What does he take me as?Quickly, I snapped out of my petrification and reached out to unlock Oswald's hands from my waist. However, even after using my whole strength, Oswald’s hands were still firmly locked, and he didn't budge a bit. My face reddened, and I gnashed my teeth in fury. “Alpha Oswald, what are you doing? You have a partner, and I'm in a relationship with your friend. This isn't right! Stop it. No one should see us in this position.” I bellowed while struggling heavily, trying to remove Oswald’s hands that were positioned around my waist.However, I kept being unable to, no matter how I tried. Casually, Oswald placed his chin on my shoulder and pulled me closer, as if to embed me in him. “So what if they see? You’re my mate; you should be mine. Not his.” He retorted calmly
My expression changed immediately. The last thing I'll let happen is for someone to come in between Wyatt and my relationship. Moreover, when that someone is Oswald. I gnashed my teeth together and straightened my neck, my eyes spitting with intense fury. Wyatt is mine. “You can't stop me, Oswald.” I bellowedProminent lines appeared between Oswald's eyebrows, and he grimaced. He lowered his head to stare directly into my eyes and hugged me tightly. “Maia. I can't do without you. Don't make this hard for us.” He proclaimed in a serious and shaky voice.Suddenly, he changed our position and pressed me against the tree. His right hand effortlessly pinned my hands above my head.I glared at him coldly in response and tried to push him away to escape. However, his lock made me unable toOswald slowly kissed my shoulder with intense care, as if he were afraid of hurting me. Although I didn't want him, I couldn't help the tingle that coursed through me with his every action, which I knew
My head throbbed, and my teary eyes felt so itchy. I curled tighter on the floor filled with dried leaves and soil before massaging my brows slightly. I missed the old red flame pack a lot, especially the yellow mountain, which held the hidden cottage that my parents built for our family.Yellow Mountain is rumored to hold scenery but more dangers, which was the reason it deterred the pack members from visiting.But what no one expected was that deep in the yellow mountains was a low-key yet luxurious cottage where our family always stayed during vacation.Except for mom, dad, and me, nobody knew there was a hidden cottage that held memories of the late Alpha, Luna, and our whole family in general.Despite growing up through the pains, I made sure to protect the cottage, knowing if I didn't, once it was found by Alpha Henry or his family, the cottage would lose the meaning of its existence just like the palace did. Suddenly, the familiar sandalwood scent drifted into my nose, and fa
My eyes constricted, and I shivered in Wyatt's embrace due to his threat. “I. I won't dare to, hubby.” I quickly replied while secretly sighing in relief.I've just hidden a dangerous secret from Wyatt, but thankfully it's just between Oswald and me, so I can't help being relieved and assured that Wyatt will never get to know about the kiss.I believe Oswald won't go tattling about the kiss to Wyatt. Moreover, even if Oswald did, I'm sure Wyatt wouldn't believe him because Wyatt would think that was Oswald's way of trying to separate the both of us.Wyatt stroked my chin and planted a kiss on my forehead. “You're not unworthy, Maia. You're powerful and have numerous true bloods in you. You might be stronger than I.” He stated, his voice carrying seriousness.Upon hearing Wyatt's sentence, my eyes widened in shock, but in the next second, I snapped out of it.I puffed my cheeks and glared at Wyatt angrily. Did Wyatt think I'm a naive kid that he's carving such hilarious lies with full
