So distraught

2023-04-07 15:26:07COLLIN POV
As I drove through the beat-down neighborhood, I couldn't help but wonder why I was over here. When I started off driving, I never pictured myself driving through Saige's neighborhood but something told me I should check up on her. She left a bit distraught today and with all the talk about her home life, I just couldn't stay away.
But as I drove by her place, I noticed how quiet it looked. Was she even here? My gut told me she wasn't.
I kept driving past her place, wondering where she might be, when I looked at the passing car and I swore I saw her in the passenger seat. She was with a guy I'd never seen before and knew that he wasn't a student. Who the hell was this guy?
After whipping my truck around, I followed after them down a road that took us away from her place. I really didn't want to catch her doing what I thought she was about to do. What did I have to do to get through to this girl? She was so much better than that. And that guy looked to be my age. What the hell is he thinking, taking advantage of a young girl? Or, perhaps, he's a sick bastard who gets off on young girls.
I tried to stay back, not wanting my presence to be known, but it took everything I had not to ram the guy off the road and take Saige home.
The car turned into a small alley and because I had gotten just a bit too close, I passed them. The car had stopped and I turned around again, parking along the opposite curb where I could see them.
Saige seemed to be pulling away from the guy as I watched him basically lunge at her. I didn't know Saige well enough, but if this were her idea, she wouldn't be pulling away.
Something's wrong.
I jumped out of my truck and slowly made my way over there unnoticed. When I was close enough to hear them talking, I froze to assess the situation.
"No! Please! I promised not to tell anyone and I haven't. Just please let me go." Saige's crying voice sent me into a rage.
"We need to finish what we started, little girl," the guy's raspy voice responded. And it only made me angrier.
I marched up to the car and ripped the driver's door open before I reached in and grabbed the guy by the back of his shirt, dragging him out and onto the ground.
Saige screamed from inside, but as soon as our eyes connected, she took a deep breath.
"Are you okay?" I asked, but the guy was back on his feet and tackling me into the side of his car.
"You need to mind your own fucking business," the guy barked out, landing his fist right into my gut.
I let out a grunt before I gathered my wits about me and swung hard, landing my own fist into the side of his jaw.
He groaned, stepping back several paces before he wiped his mouth and glared over at me.
"Who the fuck are you?"
"That's none of your business." I turned back to the car. "Saige, get out."
The guy looked pissed. "Saige, stay in the fucking car." He swung at me again but I blocked him and ended up smashing his face into the roof of his car.
Saige softly screamed but then I heard her finally get out. Good girl.
This asshole was relentless, coming at me with everything he had, but what he didn't know was that I was trained in fighting. This wasn't going to end well for him at all.
His face was all bloody from when I smashed his face but that didn't seem to phase him. What the hell? Was this guy on fucking roids?
I continued to drill him in the face over and over, even kneeing him in the gut, but he still wasn't going down. He was throwing his best punches, connecting every other one to my face.
He tackled me into the car one more time before I heard a metallic ping echo around me and the asshole went limp before he fell to the ground. I looked up and saw Saige standing behind him with an old drain pipe in her hand. I could have seriously kissed her right then, but I wouldn't do that.
"Shit, Saige," I began, stepping toward her. She dropped the pipe to the concrete, making a loud rattle as I stepped up right up to her. "Are you alright?"
Her bottom lip trembled for a moment but then she quickly recovered and looked up at me with a stone face.
"I'm much better now that you're here. How did you know it was me in the car? Or, are you just that big of a gentleman that you would have stopped for any girl?"
I couldn't tell if she was being her flirty self or serious because the tone in her voice was playful and I wanted to squash that immediately.
"I was driving by and saw you in the passenger seat. I followed you guys because it didn't feel right and when he came at you, I knew you needed my help."
She squared her shoulders and nodded, losing the flirty pout of her bottom lip. "Well, thanks..."
Police sirens became audible off in the distance as I looked back down at the prick lying lifeless next to his car.
"I called the cops," she said, staring down at him next to me.
"When the hell did you have time to do that before knocking his ass out with a drainpipe?" I was trying to lighten the mood, poking at her awesomeness. Where the hell did she even get that thing?
She shrugged like it was nothing and said, "Right before I grabbed it."
I laughed, wrapping my arm around her shoulders to pull her away from the creep on the ground. "Come on, let's get you in my truck. We'll wait for the cops in there." The rain was still coming down hard and we were both soaked.

SAIGE POVAfter the police questioned us and locked Leo up in the back of their car, I couldn't help but notice how Collin was staring at me. He had heard the whole story of what Leo had done to me the night before and what he was about to do again and during the time I spoke, I watched his jaw flex in anger. Did he really care for me? I wouldn't expect him to get so angry about this. He barely knows me.We were in his truck, driving away from the police cars and the alley when he looked over at me."Am I taking you home?"I vigorously shook my head. "That's the last place I want to be right now."He nodded, seeming to know how I felt. "Alright, I have an idea to get your mind off of this." He turned around and I watched as he got on the freeway and headed into the heart of the city."Where are you taking us?""I figured a trip to the mall for some food and goofing around would distract you." He smiled over at me and I swear I melted. Who was this guy? Instead of taking me back to his

SAIGE POVAs we left the mall, Collin kept looking over at me with a playful grin while shaking his head."A unicorn? Seriously? Out of all the drawings in that book, you choose that?" He laughed, clearly getting a kick out of it as much as I was."It seemed fitting," I giggled.Our moment of laughing halted when my phone began to ring and my mom's face lit up the screen. My heart fell into my stomach as I stared at her face. I didn't want to answer it because I knew what she would say."You going to answer that?"Collin's voice brought me back to the moment as I shook my head at him and ignored her call."It was my mom. I don't feel like talking to her right now." I could hear the sadness in my own voice, so I wonder what he's hearing."Do you have a place to stay tonight, Saige?" Collin asked.I thought of the very few people who would take me in. TJ and Kora, but I knew TJ's mom hated me so that wouldn't work and I knew Kora's grandparents were up from Florida visiting, taking the

SAIGE POVCollin brought back a bottle of olive oil and the salt shaker before leaning against the bathroom counter."This shit better come off before tomorrow," he complained.I let out a small laugh and shook my head. "I'll do my best." I dabbed the corner of the washcloth in the oil before sprinkling salt onto it. "This might hurt because the salt makes a scrub. I'll be gentle." I grabbed his chin to steady his face and began rubbing circles onto the unicorn.His chin in my hand made my heart skip a beat. It might have been a small gesture, but to me, this was as close as he was going to let me get at the moment and I could smell his cologne. Damn, he smelled amazing. What was that?"How'd you know how to get this off if you've never had a henna tattoo before?" He asked, trying to keep his eyes on the wall behind me.I shrugged. "Google."He laughed. "Gee, why didn't I think to do that?" He paused as I watched him swallow and tense up. Was I making him uncomfortable? "I think I can

SAIGE POVI took a hot shower and crawled into bed. I tossed and turned but sleep would not come and it was driving me crazy. The reflection from the pool water was dancing on the ceiling, distracting me from closing my eyes. It swirled and danced, creating the perfect night light but who the hell could sleep when it was that bright?!I rolled toward the windows, noticing that there weren't any curtains, and cursed under my breath. This was going to be the worst night ever. Not to mention that Collin was sleeping a floor above me in probably nothing more than boxers or briefs. I wondered then what his whole body looked like with all those tattoos on him. Did they cover every inch of him? Or, just the main parts? I really wanted to explore his ink, to really see what he had permanently printed onto his skin and what they all meant. He isn't much older than I am, so I wondered when he started getting them done.A sound from the pool area pulled my attention there as I leaned up to look

COLLIN POVI slept like hell last night knowing Saige was just below me in the guest room. I promised I'd show her that she was better than she thought she was, but all I could think about were her lips and how she tasted. It was a struggle not to go downstairs to see her, knowing she was willing; but I was not that guy.And that was the exact reason why I called the guy standing at my front door right now. He's the guy I know who can show Saige she was worth more than a one-night stand. Women loved him and he loved them. It was really a win-win.I whipped the door open and came face to face with my cousin, Finn. He took a flight out here the second I called him like he always did."Bro, what's up?!" He stepped in and embraced me in a giant bear hug. We laughed and smacked each other's backs."Damn, it's good to see you!" I replied with a grin. "Come on in, man!”We headed straight for the kitchen, hoping to keep the noise level down and not wake Saige. I needed to explain a few thing

SAIGE POVCollin's cousin was hot! And he asked me to ditch school to hang out with him?! Hell yes! I needed a good day with a hot guy after the dream I had last night. If I couldn't have Collin, then this Finn guy would have to do.Then an idea struck me: If Collin had any feelings toward me at all, which I gathered he did, then being flirty with his cousin might do the trick, right? Guys are known for doing some crazy things when they're jealous.After I freshened up, I headed back out to find Finn standing by the front door eating a banana.Finn winked at me. "Ready to go?"A huge grin spread across my face as I blushed. I was actually fucking blushing. That rarely happened to me."I'm ready."Collin appeared in the foyer and glared at me. "I really think you should go to school, Saige. You can ride with me. You and Finn can hang out later."Was he serious?"The last time I checked, Collin, you're not my dad." I stepped up to him then and ran my finger down his neck and over his ch

SAIGE POVThe mall was packed, but I was excited to be skipping school and hanging out with this hottie."So, where are we going first?" I asked.Finn looked around. "We need to get you a dress, right?" I nodded at his question. "Then we'll get you a dress and then find me a tux." He grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the escalators that would bring us to the second floor.As we found a dress shop, Finn pulled me in- pointing out several dresses immediately. None of them were my style, though. They didn't show off enough skin.Finn grabbed a little black number from the rack and held it up to me."This would look great with your skin tone. What do you think?" He spun me toward the mirror so I could see."I think it looks like I'm going to my grandma's funeral," I whined. "What about this one?!" I slid away from him and grabbed a purple dress from the rack, holding it up. The front had a deep V that would show off my cleavage and stopped high on the upper thigh.Finn shook his head,

COLLIN POVI hated that Finn got Saige to skip school, but whatever. Maybe I was just irritated about other things. Actually, I knew I was irritated about other things. One, in particular, was how I couldn't stop thinking about Saige and her lips. I knew having her stay the night at my place last night was a bad idea, but the girl needed a safe place to sleep.Speaking of a safe place to sleep, I needed to figure out where she was going for the night because there was no way in hell she could stay at my place again. If she stayed a few rooms away from me and I couldn't touch her, I might lose my cool and that was the exact opposite of what I was trying to help the girl with.When the last bell of the day rang, I couldn't wait to get out of there. Football practice was thankfully canceled for the evening because of some school dance they were throwing that night and I didn't mind having the evening off. It would give me time to figure out Saige's next destination.As I got into my truc

Irresistible Temptations Shifting perspective
Shifting perspectivesMADALINAMy stomach was upset, and my mouth was dry. Apparently, my body underwent a range of reactions due to the most important event of my new life. I would be the center of attention, all eyes filled with judgment on me. Even before, I never enjoyed public events or parties, and rather let my brother fulfill such a role. Alex was an extrovert like no other, never experiencing an increased heart rate or sweating when giving out a speech. And although I wasn't afraid of speaking up my mind, my attitude was more... military oriented? I was not good at sugarcoating or putting on a perfect-smile façade. And yet, that was exactly what I was about to do tonight.I stood before the mirror, my gaze fixed on the reflection staring back at me. Who was this woman and what did she do with Madalina Crud?Carrie had chosen for me a stunning long dress with bare shoulders in the shades of dark red. It was definitely a departure from my usual style of leather pants and milita
Irresistible Temptations Excitement and nervousness
When I first learned about Carrie's idea to throw a big welcome party for Madalina, I was a little hesitant. Ever since we arrived at my pack, my mate has faced a barrage of unwarranted prejudice due to her different background. No one dared to confront her or me directly, but the silent whispers were there. People stared. At me. At her.It was mostly due to all those horrible crimes her family was responsible for. Her family had tortured lone wolves, treating them like slaves. Sadly, even my mate took part in it, blindly manipulated by her parents. Though with each new day, I could see how much she regretted all her past actions. I may have gotten a second chance at love, but Madalina got her second chance at normal life. And she was going to prove to everyone that she no longer was the ruthless, stone-cold werewolf slayer.The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the preparations for the grand evening were in full swing. Decorations adorned every corner, bringing vibrant colors an
Irresistible Temptations Unwelcome news
Unwelcome newsAIDENUpon Jerome's resignation, I was faced with an enormous workload that made me truly grasp the extent of his responsibilities on my behalf. An Alpha was like a lost puppy without his Beta. Despite Scott shadowing Jerome for many years, he struggled to fulfill the role with the same efficiency. Regrettably, Scott was caught between his previous Gamma duties and attempting to assume the Beta position. Our pack was huge in size, and leading it was never meant to be a solitary endeavor. It necessitated a cohesive team, which, unfortunately, I did not have.Days started to merge, and I couldn't tell the difference between light and dark, granting me less and less time for my mate. And I hated it. I hated leaving Maddie alone, even though I could count on Carrie to keep her company. But it would be irresponsible of me to just ignore the escalating situation in my pack and simply lock myself in the room with my gorgeous woman. I was an Alpha and sometimes I needed to put
Irresistible Temptations The vampire's mark
Notre DameMADALINAIt has been a whole week since I moved to Black Forest pack, but nothing has changed significantly.My mate was incredibly busy, leaving our room early in the morning and returning at night. His Beta stepped down and he now had only his Gamma to support him. Aiden's father tried to help too, but it wasn't common practice to see a retired Alpha interfering in the pack's business. Moreover, it would shed a bad light on Aiden, putting him in the position of not being competent enough to lead the pack if daddy needed to hold his hand.. Eventually, it would motivate ambitious males outside the pack to come and conquer the place, seeing Aiden as a weak element that could be easily challenged and eliminated. Status was everything in the werewolf's world.Aiden spent the entire week searching for a proper candidate for the Gamma position. He wanted to promote the current Gamma to Beta. That man seemed to be one of a few who were loyal to Aiden and openly supported him desp

"Go back to your own kind. Leave our pack before facing further humiliation."I cleared my throat before speaking, controlling the fiery rage that tortured me. Oh, the fantasies that danced in my mind - to give her a taste of her own venomous words, to unleash that never-ending thirst in me, and sink my fangs deep in her flesh until she begged for her life. To punch that nasty mouth and show her true fear.But could I afford such scandal on my first day among werewolves? As much as I wished to make her pay, I concluded she simply wasn't worth the trouble with my mate. I came here to be a better person.Hence, I put my old habits aside and kept the fight on a verbal level."Oh, wow, thank you so much for your unsolicited prophecy! How fortunate I am to have you... whoever you are, enlighten me about my inevitable fate. Your concern for my well-being and humiliation is truly heartwarming. Clearly, your wisdom knows no bounds. Perhaps I should bow down and seek your guidance on all life

Fire tangoMADALINANerves fluttered in my stomach when his family first approached me. Will they grimace in disgust? Will they be bothered by the presence of a vampire? I had all those questions clawing at my mind, terrifying me. But what I experienced... it was something entirely unexpected.In a flurry of introductions and warm smiles, my unease began to dissipate. I stared at Aiden's mother, who exuded a genuine kindness which I found both comforting and bewildering. Not like my own mother, who only veiled her real personality under a sweet, innocent face. My mother carried the mask of kindness, pretending to be a good person, a victim of horrible crimes for which, after all, she was primarily responsible. But the warmth in Amelia's eyes and the way she squeezed my hand indicated she was genuinely happy for her son and accepted me as I was.Aiden's sister, Carrie, was a vibrant young woman. Her presence required attention as she effortlessly owned the room with her wild and loud p
Irresistible Temptations Dislike her
"I'll get some drinks. It's time to celebrate." Carrie winked at us and rushed to one of the Omegas, splashing instructions."Okay, I guess." Maddie placed a light kiss on my lips to ensure me she would manage to survive my family. I didn't need to worry about her. My mate wasn't any shy damsel in distress. If anyone annoyed her, she would deal with it. I promised her not to be away for long and left her with mom and Carrie.On the way to my office, I met my dad. He had arrived at Black Forest pack before us."Jerome knows." He informed me shortly. I sighed, feeling how a big lump formed in my throat. My Beta had already learned about the death of his son.~~~~~~~"We are currently providing shelter for over a hundred lone wolves. The majority of them have already applied for asylum but some haven't decided yet. They still consider returning to their original village once all is settled. Anyhow, we can't accommodate them all permanently. We are running short on resources. But the disc
Irresistible Temptations Bitter toll
. Bitter tollAIDENMadalina squeezed my hand when we passed through the main gate to my pack. The Black Forest pack was one of the largest packs in Yukon, providing a home to thousands of people, mostly werewolves. We had several witches among us, as well as humans. Overall, it was a great place to live in. Despite the isolation within the mountains, our civilization thrived.The air carried the scent of freshly bloomed flowers, intermingled with the sweet aroma of home-cooked meals waffling from the houses. The streets were alive with the joyous spirit of community, as people strolled leisurely, their smiles radiant and genuine. Children reveled in their innocence, their laughter echoing through the pathways, while the sun cast a gentle glow upon their carefree games.We lived in peace, surrounded by beautiful nature, and I couldn't wait to show it all to my beautiful mate. Therefore, I was stunned when we finally arrived at my pack and the streets were empty. Gone was also the melo
Irresistible Temptations Raindrops farewell
Raindrops farewellAIDENI was glad that my mate agreed to live with me in my pack. I understood the depth of sacrifices she had undertaken to be with me. Her departure from her family was due to forbidden love and it led to her being estranged by her own parents. They cut off any future physical contact with her and although she tried to be strong and not to show it, I knew it bothered her tremendously. At least her brother, despite being a sick psychopath, stood by her side.And now, I was going to be her family and I would do anything to make her happy.When I returned to the safe house together with Madalina, the place was emptied. Only my father stayed with a couple of soldiers. He was eager to meet my mate and shook her hand a bit too enthusiastically that I had to remind him to keep it cool. As surprising as it was, my dad was very open-minded and didn't care about Madalina's origin. I assumed after all he had to go through in his life, he understood how precious true love was.
