Irresistible Temptations Sheltered secrets
Sheltered secretsAIDENThe paws pounded against the soft earth as my wolf darted through the dense forest. His fur bristled with agony from the bullet wounds that tore into his back earlier, but Remy pushed himself to keep moving. Still, the pain was nothing compared to the one caused by real silver. The enhanced hearing picked up the sound of the pursuers as they chased me. Their smell indicated they were vampires. Stopping and facing them would be suicide because there were just too many and I wasn't at my full strength. Eventually, the sounds of footsteps behind me faded away. Cautious, Remy slowed down, taking deep breaths to steady himself. He raised his snout upwards, trying to detect any signs of danger, but found none. It must have been Maddie. Somehow, she stopped the vampire soldiers.It took me more than a day to get to the safe house. The wounds were not healing properly because the bullets were still stuck in the flesh, so when I finally arrived, I was exhausted. My body
Irresistible Temptations Don't judge
"Who is coming? Just our pack members or others as well?""Uh... The Committee does not want to have anything to do with it. Only two packs agreed to support our cause and provide some resources - Golden Meadows and Northwest Crescent.""My brother's pack?" The Northwest Crescent pack was led by my half-brother. I would lie to say it did not surprise me. My brother and I have the same mother but different fathers. Anyhow, different bloodlines were not the root cause of our conflict. Over the years, he tried to bond with me, but I always refused. We had history and it was something I could not digest that easily."Don't worry, he is not coming in person. He knows you can't stand his company because...ahem. What I wanted to say is that he's sending lots of warriors to support you."'Can't stand his company' wasn't exactly the problem. He wasn't a bad person in particular. And it wasn't his fault that..."Let's not go there, Aiden." Remy murmured. And he was right. The last thing we need
Irresistible Temptations Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the darkMADALINAAlex remained silent during the entire drive back home, his eyes fixed on the road. His hands kept squeezing the steering wheel tightly, as if he wanted to crush it. A visible vein throbbed in his neck, a sign of tension. However, he did not dare to further discuss the topic of my love life. Did he judge me for sleeping with the enemy? Most probably yes."Aren't you coming with me?" I asked him, after he parked the car in front of our mansion. I had already climbed out of the vehicle when I noticed Alex remained behind the wheel, his expression as frosting as the weather in the North Pole.He briefly checked his phone before replying the simple 'no' and drove away without sparing me a look.As I approached my father's office, my steps slowed down, my heart racing with anticipation. I filled my lungs with air, feeling the weight of the impending conversation bearing down on me. Hesitation prompted me to pull my hand away from the doorknob for a brief momen
Irresistible Temptations The Mark
"Of course, you don't remember," Father chimed in. Apparently, my mom opened the channel for him, and he could listen to our inner conversation. "When you were younger, you continuously sneaked into the mutts' village. You even befriended some of those animals and claimed they were good people. Eventually, you tried to drag Alexei down that path with you. As if you have forgotten what they did to us, what they did to your mother, brother, and sisters!""But those were not these people! You can't put the same label on the whole population just because of their origin, just because of the crimes of a few individuals. That is so wrong." I argued."Do you see that, Greta? She's falling into her old habits. That is why I tried to keep her away from that village or gold mines. But you insisted on giving her more responsibility. You said she was ready, and look at the consequences! She's an adult now. We can't change her mind anymore."I froze with my thoughts in turmoil as the weight of the
Irresistible Temptations Battle of wills
Battle of willsMADALINA"Let me in!" The familiar voice from behind the heavy steel door woke me up. The guards stationed outside were ensuring that I didn't escape and, as my parents claimed, did not get even more manipulated by the werewolf who had placed his mark on my neck. Though the idea was far from my mind. I could barely concentrate and stay awake due to silver cuffs imprisoning my hands, making me feel dizzy and sluggish. How long was I locked in this room?"I said, let me the fuck in!" The voice grew more insistent, anger seeping into his tone. I longed to reassure him that I was fine, to call out his name. But my parched mouth made speaking difficult.The door slammed open and banged against the wall, as if hit by a wrecking ball. While, in fact, it was just my twin brother making his way to my personal prison."Mr Crud, your parents precisely instructed that..." The guard hurried after Alex, whose normally pale face was now switching to all colors of red."Fuck off befor
Irresistible Temptations Leaving
Alex turned around and stared at our father. The tension in the room was palpable as they were facing each other, each with a stubborn expression on his face. Darius Crud had just placed an order, and his son disobeyed it, making his disagreement known in no uncertain terms. The head of Crud Clan, who was used to being the one in charge, bristled at his son's defiance. If the tension could be cut into slices, it would perfectly describe the atmosphere, with each man locked in a battle of wills."How dare you disobey me?!" Father broke the ice and raged."How dare you treat your daughter like this?!""Are you deaf, Alexei? I told you Madalina wasn't well. Can't you see how affected she is due to that ugliness on her neck? Such a disgrace to our family, such a spit on the graves of your other siblings!"My heart broke into a million pieces when my father called me 'a disgrace'. Instinctively, I grabbed Alex's hand and started to draw random objects with my finger on his palm."Which let
Irresistible Temptations Traps of deceit
Traps of deceitAIDEN"Is it still far?""A few more miles and we will arrive at Ashton's Mills."Mira led the way with confident steps, but I couldn't help but wonder if we were walking in circles. It was hours since we left the safe house and the strange feeling in my gut couldn't be shaken off. This part of the forest was abandoned, with trees towering above us transforming into sinister monsters with gnarled, claw-like branches. They reached out like bony fingers, their twisted limbs scratching the sky. Dry leaves rustled on the ground like whispers, pushed by the wind. Apart from that, the forest was silent, perhaps even too quiet, as if it was haunted and filled with death."I don't like it here, Aiden. Are you sure this lady knows the location?" Remy was restless, his ears prickled up and the hairs of his fur rising with every occasional snap of a twig underfoot. "This place just does not look like ideal nor safe for pups to be brought in."He might be right. The surroundings w
Irresistible Temptations Worth the fight
Worth the fightAIDENThe struggle within me raged on. I didn't know whether to be angry and let the growling beast inside me out or rather stay calm and negotiate with the enemy.Would it ever cease? Why must my existence be fraught with such relentless drama and chaos? My life's narrative has been a series of calamitous events - my father's absence due to his sickness, my mother's slow heartbreak as she watched the love of her life dying bit by bit for decades, and the crushing rejection of my first mate.I thought my first mate was the one for me, the rare beauty in the sunlight, like a delicate and hesitant flower blooming in early spring, afraid of the icy breaths of winter that might return and freeze her. However, the affection between us was just one-sided and she felt the stronger pull towards my half-brother. So, I let her go.. I accepted the rejection, giving up the fight I could have never won. The agony of that moment lingered still, shattering any semblance of contentmen
