Alice could see the flash of surprise and what she thought was sadness in the witch's eyes, though it only lasted for two seconds before she regained her composure and resumed her haughty behavior.Shrugging her shoulder, she spoke icily. "Who is the person"Alice really wanted to know why Diana looked sad or was she mistaken. Of course she was, Aside from her bad attitude, couldn't she just reply nicely and show some normal human emotion at least once in a while?No, of course she couldn't. First, she was literally not a human and second, Alice doubted, even in which circle Diana could consider as normal. She has a poisonous tongue and hateful speech."Okay, you are done!" Diana wiped Alice with a dry towel before she walked toward her closet and took out another pajamas."I don't want to clean your lower body, do it yourself or ask Devon to do it for you." Diana said as she gave the pajamas that she had retrieved from the closet to Alice."Why are you helping me only half way?" Alic
What's going on?" Devon stopped in his tracks when he saw Alice turn away the moment she saw him come in. "Why? Are you hurt?"It was clear to see that something was bothering her and he didn't know what it was. He tried to move close to her but she only took two steps back."No, don't come near me…" Alice whined as she covered her face.While Devon was trying hard to think what was the reason for Alice's distress, his mate was thinking about the Ugly appearance." love, don't scare me…" Devon took another step closer and Alice couldn't avoid him as her back had hit the wall behind her."Don't look at me…" Alice spoke rigidly."What?" Devon was unsure about what he heard. "Why? What happened?""I am ugly…" Alice was almost crying when she said this. What if this was how she would look permanently?"What?" This time Devon was genuinely confused, he couldn't figure out why suddenly Alice came up with that nonsensical thought? "No, of course not."Devon took another step closer and now t
"Alice!" Devon called out her name out of frustration, how could she threaten him like that? Did she forget already about what he did?"I don't want you to treat me like this!" Alice wrapped Devon's huge frame with her arms as she carefully placed her head on his chest. "I don't want you to avoid me…""Did you forget what I have done to you?" Devon still didn't reciprocate Alice's hug, he kept his arms beside his body, yet he let Alice clung on him.Now, both of them were sitting on the cold bathroom floor, seemingly no one from them wanted to go to the warm bed, just a few steps away from there."No, of course not. That was very scary, I thought I would die." Alice blurted out the truth.Devon's eyes darkened and turned even more rigid than a second ago. He knew that he almost killed her, how he would forget the feeling when he just regained his control over his beast and found his mate was bleeding in his arms. He was dumbfounded and even didn't know what to think.His mind tried t
No it can't be…" Alice was astounded as her mind turned blank. Then a sudden rush of realization attacked her.Now, she couldn't possibly think about Devon, without him not knowing. No! She thought about him all the time… how could she possibly stop this?. She had been thinking out loud inside her mind safely for the last twenty years of her life. This was so mortifying because Devon would know every bit of her thought."Yes." Devon smirked, his mood really got better upon seeing his mate fluttered expression."This is so embarrassing…" Alice bit her lips while looking at him in horror. She was always thinking about Devon when they were already so close like this and made a mental note about his habit, but now she couldn't do that.Alice has to admit that some of her thoughts weren't appropriate.Like; how handsome he was, how beautiful those eyes and how she liked it when he kissed her… No!"I don't need to read into your mind to know that." Devon laughed, his eyes sparkled under th
"Give me a good reason for that!" Devon asked Diana through his gritted teeth.The Alpha really wanted to take her back to their own territory, but the witch kept making everything difficult for him.And now, what would be the reason for her to keep Alice in this now dangerous city?. He wasn't sure what was what anymore, anyone could be a black witch or shapeshifter, which could harm Alice.The thought made Devon's eyes turn grim."Control yourself would you. She is right in the living room, or do you want your beast to attack her again" Diana pointed out. He could hear Alice excited chatter with her new friend Joan. Diana was right he didn't want to scare her in any wayKace, who was in the room staring back and forth at them, stiffened. He wondered if one day Diana would get her neck snapped by Devon, she was getting bolder with each passing day, now that she was back to her beautiful appearance. He could see a frown settled on Devon's face.Like her usual self, Diana didn't care or
"I'm curious to know what the deal is, Diana ?" Devon leaned over as he asked the witch."It is the deal between me and her, so you don't have to know about it."Diana said sternly and rested her elbow on the arm rest as she intertwined her fingers together. She was now seated on one of the chairs in the study. "If you don't believe what I am saying, go ahead and bring her to your territory, this time she might sleep and never wake up again. I'm sure you would want that"It was a warning, a threat, but Devon knew there was the truth in Diana's words and he couldn't take it for granted. A frown settled on his face because he knew he had to put up with her whether he liked it or notSeeing her mate almost burst into anger, Alice put her hand on his clenched fist as she smiled at him. "We don't have to go back to sparrow city, I love it here"Devon stared intently at his mate as he tried to compose himself before he nodded and spoke curtly. "Alright."Devon reached out his hand as he gat
The kiss had started out to be a soft kiss but soon escalated, when Alice kissed Devon back. He slowly gave in and deepened the kiss, startling his mate a little. His tongue slowly invaded her mouth and this sent tingle through her whole body. The way he kissed her was similar to that night at the lake before things took a dark turn…Alice didn't want to think about that as she knew Devon could read her mind, but Before she could reciprocate his vigor he broke the kiss. His whole body ahd stiffened. Alice quickly got up in a sitting position when he noticed this. Devon had moved a few spaces away from her already, which made her frown a little."Devon" She called out his name softly but got no response. Alice couldn't take it anymore. She got up and suddenly drew him into a tight hug."Why are you acting this way again, I know you want to… kiss me too" She broke the hug and stared deep into his eyes. "Tell me you don't want to and I will leave you be" She said in matter of fact tone
Devon looked back at Alice and nodded. Kace looked a little skeptical about the Alpha's decision to take Alice with them. "But Alpha I don't think it's safe for her" Kace voiced out his worries to Devon, who had his thinking face on."I don't think it's safe to leave her here either. Have you forgotten what happened here at the pack." How could Kace forget the incident that almost made him pass out with shock. He was so surprised when he entered into the Alpha's room to find a man trying to kill their luna. "I will get the car ready" Kace said and Devon nodded."I will meet you at the parking lot in ten minutes" Devon entered back into the room. Alice was still sleeping peacefully without a clue of what was going on. He felt sorry for having to wake her up. "Alice" He called her name softly but got to response. Devon sat on the edge of the bed and reached out slowly to caress her lovely face.His action made her stir in her deep slumber and some seconds Later, her beautiful eyes flu
