We hear the footsteps at the same time and immediately it seems like glass has shattered, Magical, fairy tale glass that should not exist.
Mate. I have a mate. I should not be kissing boys in dungeons if they are not meant to spend a lifetime with me. I pull away from Chase just as the door creaks open.
I left the room, rushing up the stairs after Felix. All I felt was regret and anger at myself. Way to go Lily... what the hell was wrong with me!? I stumbled a step, grabbing hold of the top step so I didn’t fall down. It scraped my hands but at the moment I didn’t care much. I stumbled back up, finally making it to the top. Throwing the trap door open, I scampered up and looked around.
Once Felix slams the door in my face, the whimpering from my wolf increases to such an extent, it gives me a throbbing headache. I don’t know how long I stayed standing at that door, my hand slightly raised once again in order to knock. But once I finally let it hopelessly fall to my side, my heart falling to the floor along with it, it’s aching. I turn around, feeling a bit unbalanced as I make my way down the stairs.
I’m sitting in my office, my brain trying to not fall asleep when there’s a sudden commotion from the outside. I get up from my seat and just as I’m about to open the door, it suddenly swings open. A girl, wearing an oversized t-shirt and looking way too familiar is dragged into the room along with my two betas and their warriors. “What is this
The girl dragged me through the woods, not bothering to talk to me at all. She looked fierce and all the more I regretted my decision to having crossed the stupid border. I could have done something so much better. Heck – anything would have been better than this. Had I just doomed my pack?
As soon as Lori returns I order her to go get Jack, Max, Anya and Jarred. She eyed me sceptically at first but after a growl, she scurried off. It was high time I got my best friend back. High time we taught that stupid goody-two-shoes pack a lesson. You wanted to mess with Hellwood, you were going to see why we were named that way. Lori and the group comes back withi
“What?” Is that my voice? It has to be. It’s squeaky and idiotic. Felix hand goes into mine and it is given a squeeze before my mate speaks up again.
Chase makes a move to go past me but I grab his arm. I might not be able to move my feet but my upper body is still free from compulsion.“What?”
Everything happens in a flash. One minute I’ve pushed the idiot girl from getting herself killed and the next her stupid mate goes for Matt. They’re a good match. Both flipping stupid. Impulse takes over and I go for her mate. I get him by the neck, throwing him to the ground in a heap of fur and blood. I sink my teeth into the skin, feeling the trashing w
In the end she had chosen him. Like I had feared. Yet, I didn’t really mind. It never truly felt right with her. I know we were mates. Our wolves and bodies knew that. But also, somewhere with her – she felt more drawn to another. And maybe the existence of two mates seemed impossible but squirrel… squirrel
“Do you think it’s possible to have two mates?”Chase looks at me as if I had just turned purple and sprouted wings. He started to open his mouth to say something but someone beat him to it.
I wake up with my head throbbing and a wolf whimpering for it to stop. I wish I could get it to stop too bud… Groaning I sit up, looking over at Felix. He was still dead to the world. I needed water. Definitely need some water.
3 hours later
“What are you doing here Lily?” he asked, placing his champagne glass on the piano. He looked good, really good. With a black suit, perfectly tailored to his body and a slightly unshaved face, it was a miracle I wasn’t drooling. Get a hold of yourself Lily. My goodness… Your mate is in the other room.
It takes her a moment to response but I already know the answer. She wants to go. She’s drawn to that place like an alcoholic to wine. It’s bad for them, but yet – they’ll still pursue it.“I…”
I look at myself in the mirror, taking a nervous breath. Felix had not been happy over my response with wanting to go and my wolf is also pretty upset with me. I swear if she growls one more time I’m going to infuse a drug into my system or something. It was getting tiring and I needed to get my thoughts straight without having a wolf growling and moaning in my head the whole time.
I wake up with myself entangled with my mate. Gosh, this is perfect… I look him over, inspecting his perfect features. Those perfectly plump lips, chiselled jaw, everything. Slowly moving away from him, I pull my shirt lower, noting that I should probably be getting home to get changed. Add that to the list of things I had to do this morning. Right next to the
Sitting on Felix’s bed I feel myself trying not to start crying. Shit, that had been so embarrassing. He had left me in here about a half hour ago and after giving me a disapproving look, he had left. Yeah, I’d be disappointed at me too. I sighed, flopping down on the bed and starred up at the ceiling. A shadow fell on it from the window and wall, it looki
