The sun was out early, and it pierced through the window to meet my face. Twitching my eyes, I smiled and shuffled around the bed. My leg hit something hard beside me and it groaned. "Go back to sleep,"Lance muttered, holding me closer to himself. "It's morning already," I chuckled, turning to face him. We were both tangled under the sheets, bare naked. Memories of the previous night flashed through my hair and I smiled more. He had the cutest morning face, I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed a kiss on his lips. He kissed back, grabbing my ass and holding on to it tight. "Want to continue from where we stopped?" Lance muttered between the kisses. "Hmm, maybe," I giggled, wrapping my legs around his torso, in the process allowing his hardness to rub on my pussy. "Yes."I agreed, wanting another round of what went on last night. "Come here," he said, pulling me to sit on top of him. The sheets fell off our body and we both acted like we had seen ourselves like that in a
"Hayley!" I turned abruptly at the sound of my name. "Dorcas, what are you doing here?""I came as fast as I could, I have news."Of course she news, Dorcas always knew how to make a dramatic entrance at everything. "What news is it this time, Lance and I did what you asked us to," I said in boredom. I suspected the news was nowhere near good, whenever she barged I'm with the kind of look on her face it was never good news. "I know how to break your curse permanently," she shrieked. Okay, maybe that was good news but still. A smile spread across Sonia and my face as we looked at each other with a familiar expression. "Why do I feel a but coming?" Sonia asked, narrowing her eyes at Dorcas. "Because there is a big but coming," she deadpanned. Our faces of expectations turned down into a flat glare at Dorcas but she did not mind. "What's the bad news," I asked, hoping she could just spill it. "When I got home yesterday, I was going through some of my ancient books on curses a
“Hayley, don’t be like this,” Lance said over the door. “Why are you here, to try to order me about the curse again?” I scoffed, crossing my arms as I dropped the test tube on the test tube rack. “No, I came to talk to my mate. That’s all,” he sounded like a child as he spoke. “Well, your mate does not feel like talking to you for now so go away,” I sounded more childish than him. I picked up a beaker and subconsciously rolled it from one hand to the other hand as I listened for his heartbeat in case he chose to leave as I had instructed. He hadn’t. “Lance,” I called out his name. “I’ll break the door Hayley,” he said and I could hear the seriousness in his tone. “What do you want, we can always talk when I’m back in our room,” I rolled my eyes at him. “I just want to see you, is that too much?” Lance asked, knocking on the door again. “Promise you won’t say anything about collecting the curse,” I said as a means of assurance from him. “I promise,” he replied. Slowly, I go
We were still in my workshop, laying around in each other's arms. We decided to get dressed a few hours ago when someone knocked on the door. Now Lance and I were on that couch again, with me in his arms as he messed with my hair again. “Lance,” I called his name, breaking the silence between us. “Hmm,” he mumbled, not bothering to look at me. I paused, pleading to the moon goddess that he does not get upset about what I wanted to say. “Well um...” I trailed off, not knowing how to construct my sentence. He finally looked at me, bringing up my chin so I could look at him too. “You can tell me,” he assured me with a smile. “How exactly did you get this curse, what caused it in the first place?” I finally was able to muster enough courage to ask him. He looked at me with furrowed brows at first, possibly stunned by my question. But then he smiled warmly, licking his lips and looking away from me to stare ahead of us. I watched him carefully, awaiting an answer from him. He open
I was stunned, my powers had no effect. It did not even look as if I had anything in me. "It's the curse, Hayley. You need to take me to the hospital," he held my hand, stopping me from repeating my movement of trying to heal him. Nodding my head, I agreed. I stood up and raised his body, placing his hands over my shoulder like Mike had done. "Hang in there okay," I pleaded with him. He had lost way too much blood and I suspected he was already dizzy. It was all too shocking that the almighty Lance had himself pierced by a twig and was bleeding to the point of death. "Emergency!" I yelled when I reached the hospital. Immediately, I got the attention I needed. I knew all we had to do was numb the pain and stitch the injury. But we still had to make sure there were no particles of the twig in the injury. They rushed Lance to a bed and I hurried an overall on my body and wore a net. I started by injecting his body with a pain killer then continued by suturing his wound, cleaning
I was right there, watching him sleep. It was way past the time he would usually wake up. I had already shuffled around the bed to get his attention but nothing was working. He was alive alright, he was snoring loud too. That was what woke me up in the first place. Groaning in frustration, I picked up a pillow and hit it on his face. He grunted, collecting the pillow from his face and throwing it to the ground. "Was that necessary?" Lance grumbled and I smiled like it was an achievement. "You would not wake up, I think we have training this morning and you are spending so many hours sleeping," I shrugged, rolling my eyes. "I could kill people for that and yet you chose to do it," he finally sat up from where he laid. "You want to kill me?" I raised a brow. "No, not yet," he smiled, grabbing me and placing me on top of his waist. "But I'd like to straddle you.""Or for me to do so to you," I smirked. "You could do that," he replied. I leaned in for a kiss as he wrapped his arm
"Lance, what the hell are you doing here?" I stared at Lance, shocked to find him kneeling on the floor facing Dorcas who was deep in her chants. My arrival with Grey had not even disturbed her at all, her eyes were shut tightly and she kept whispering words that I could not even understand. "You brought her here?!" Lance glared at Grey, talking between clenched teeth. "Was I supposed to stop her from moving around? You asked me to keep an eye on her, not limit her movement," he raised his hands in defence. "You two do know that I'm standing right here," I gritted my teeth in anger. "I can explain," he sounded like he had cheated on me and was trying to apologise. "What is she doing here?" I pointed at Dorcas who was swaying back and forth with her eyes still closed. "She came to help," he said but stopped, looking at her again. "To do what? Why?!" I kept my voice on a high whisper. "You said you wanted to track down a witch, I did not want to tell you–""Why?!" I cut in, tur
I walked down to our room slowly, counting my steps as I tried to come up with an apology speech. I reached the door and just before I could knock, it opened up for me. He opened it and he was standing there, with a listless face. Sighing, I walked right into the room. He was still a bit mad at me and I was supposed to be too but I learnt a lesson from Sonia, Grey and Dorcas' words. When I walked in, he did not say a word to me and I had no idea how to begin. "Lance," I started, by calling his name. He shot me a look, not moving his head at all but his eyes. He did not say a word and I was hoping he actually did. I had practised words to say to him but the look he had just given me made me discouraged and I didn't even remember anything I said. "I'm sorry," I apologised, bowing my head and picking my fingers. "Why?" Lance finally spoke. "I disregard things that you say or ask of me, I understand that it is wrong and not only because we are mates but you are also my Alpha and I
