"Layla, please... You have to understand."

"Oh, I understand just fine. You wanted to push me away? Well, you did it. Now stay away from me!"

"I can't," he admitted, "and I don't want to."

I laughed and shook my head. "So, you're okay with telling your sister about us? Your parents? What about your buddies and all your groupies? Are you ready to watch your reputation get flushed down the toilet?"

He paused as he stared into my eyes. I could tell that he was scared shitless.

"Don't worry, Asher.... your secret is safe with me." I turned and left him standing in the locker room. I just couldn't do it anymore.

I went home. I could not be there knowing that probably every girl that I came in contact with had probably done something with Asher.

I knew about his lifestyle and what he did, but after being with him and sharing special moments together, I just couldn't stomach it right now.

Thank God we're all graduating in just over a month and then I'll be off to college and I won't have to

    Jake was surprisingly being a real gentleman at dinner. He didn't put his hands on me once. Which was a huge feat for him. He always seemed to be touching me when he was near me. "So..." we both started at the same time and then laughed, feeling awkward. But Jake continued, "You're okay with being out with me right? I know you were having a secret affair with Asher and... well, with him being my best friend, I just want to make sure you're cool with this." Wow. I wasn't expecting that. Even though I had no idea what I was expecting. "Why wouldn't I be cool with it? Asher and I were just having fun." Yeah, I was using his words. "Now it's over with." I gave him a fake smile and sipped from my drink. Jake raised his eyebrows and lightly laughed. "Asher is probably going to kick my ass for this." "Why? I was never his." Now if that wasn't the biggest lie that's ever come out of my mouth. "That's not how he portrayed it to me and Tate. I've never seen Asher sleep with a girl more th

    "I'll play!" This coming from Jake next to me as he nudged me. "Maybe I'll get that kiss from you tonight after all."I laughed and shook my head as Harper begged me to agree."Fine."Asher's date annoyingly clapped her hands. "Oh! Me too!" She grabbed Asher's arm. "Please play.""Whatever," Asher replied dryly, "just spin the fucking thing."Harper giggled and went first. She landed on Asher's date and they leaned forward and kissed. A little too deeply if you ask me."Shit dude," Jake started, "that's hot.""And that's my sister..."Asher growled, glaring at Jake.Asher's date went next and landed on Jake, who basically made out with the girl right in front of me. But whatever. I was already over this game.It was now Asher's turn and it landed on Harper. The entire room screamed re-spin and so he did. But this time it landed on me.Fuck!!"Nope. Not playing anymore." I threw my hands up and tried to stand up but Harper held me down."It's just a game, Layla. I won't hold the rule o

    I sat up farther, bringing my legs back in front of me. "I should go inside now."Jake snorted. "Seriously? You tease me all night and now you don't want to do anything? But you can make out with Asher." He moved back to the driver's side and shook his head as he turned his car back on."I'm sorry..." I replied shyly. I didn't know what else to say."You can get out now." Jake was cold and distant and didn't seem to care that I was upset.I stayed still for a moment, but when I saw that he wasn't moving or even looking in my direction, I opened the door and slipped out. I barely had the door shut when he tore away from the curb, his tires screeching."Asshole!!" I screamed at his taillights before I made my way up to the front door.When I went to open the door, it was locked, and I didn't have my keys.I started banging on the door but there was no answer. Was Dillon even home? I kept banging, but nothing.I went around to the back, that door was locked too."Fuck!!"I knew none of t

    He tasted so good.The familiar taste of mint and sweet apple greeted me when our tongues collided and I moaned into his mouth.His hands slid down my side and cupped my ass cheeks as he pushed against me with my back hard against the door. My arms wrapped tightly around his neck as my hands buried themselves in his hair.But then my eyes whipped open and I glared into his closed eyes. No. I can't do this.My hands slid down over his shoulders until they were pressed against his chest and I shoved him away.Our lips separated with a sucking sound and our heavy breathing filled the quiet space around us."I can't." I shook my head, crossing my arms over my stomach."Layla..." His voice was like sandpaper and it sent chills down my spine, my knees going weak.When he stepped up to me again and placed his hands on my hips, I pressed my hands against his chest and held him back."Please, Asher. Don't," I begged, my eyes traveling down to his swollen lips.He stared into my eyes before he

  • Irresistible Temptations    Wrong decision

    "Asher..." He just kept teasing me and my body was relentless to his touches. "Asher!"I pushed off from the counter and stepped away from him. I could feel that my cheeks were flushed and I was breathing heavily, the ache between my legs throbbing.He was flushed too and his erection pushed against the tightness of his jeans. His eyes were dark and stared into mine."I need a ride home," I said before I stepped out of the kitchen as quickly as I could and headed upstairs to Harper's room to find some pants.What the hell was that?!My body was still reacting to his touch and I desperately wanted to go back down there and jump his bones. But no! I can't! He doesn't want the same things that I do.And the rule!!It was still intact and Harper would kill us if she ever found out. She can never find out, ever!~~~~~~~I found Asher back in the kitchen after I put some pants on and was thankful that he was now wearing a shirt, sporting a backward hat, and waiting patiently with his nose i

  • Irresistible Temptations    Don't deserve him

    I felt completely numb.Even though I was probably right about how things would turn out for me and Asher, I still should have chosen him over my stupid brother.What was I thinking?!But now it was too late. I texted Tate, staying in secrecy, asking where I could find Asher. In which he replied with... 'he's messed up. Drunk. Sucking face with some brunette.'I don't know what pissed me off more; that he would go back to the old Asher within the same evening, or that he didn't care about me enough to fight for me.But who am I kidding?! We're talking about Asher Creed here! I never should have let him leave without me. I couldn't stop thinking about how he didn't deserve me either. If he can go do what he's doing right now then I didn't mean a thing to him.I have to stop beating myself up. I have to move on. I have to forget about Asher Creed.But when I arrived at school the next day it was nearly impossible to do so, because the first thing I saw as I walked into school was Asher

    I nodded. "I know, but tonight is special. She's throwing a going-away party for her brother. He got signed with Etnies and will be leaving this weekend."She looked confused. "I don't know what Etnies is." She looked at Dillon who just rolled his eyes at her."Etnies is a skateboarding brand, Mom. They signed him to be a professional skateboarder," I replied, glaring at Dillon."Oh! How amazing! Well, good for him! I always knew that kid would do something extreme with his life. Tell him goodbye for me and tell Mia I'll call her tomorrow to set up a time for a coffee date."I nodded and went to answer but she disappeared out of the kitchen before I could say anything else."Are you ever going to tell me why you were kissing Asher Creed in front of our house?" Dillon crossed his arms over his chest and glared at me.I groaned. "It's none of your business, Dillon. So, no, I'm not going to tell you anything.""Maybe I should ask Harper about it. I'll bet she'll know what's going on." He

    Asher gently set me down on his bed as he leaned back on his ankles and stared up into my face, but he didn't touch me."Are you okay?" He whispered.Am I okay?! No, I am most certainly not okay! Him and Jake both just completely humiliated me in front of everyone. I'm angry. I'm embarrassed. But most of all, I'm hurt! I just lightly nodded. "I'm fine." My voice was quiet and dry.He raised his hand and I flinched when he touched my stinging cheek."I'm so sorry," he stated but stopped to look me dead in the eyes."It's a little too late for apologies now, don't you think?" I stared right back at him, not feeling an ounce of remorse.He lightly nodded. “Yeah, I guess you're right."Asher stood up away from me and paced around the room, running his hands over his face.I didn't know what to say. What do I say? Everything I wanted to say earlier had fled my mind and only anger filled me now."Why did you come tonight?" Asher finally asked, spinning to look down at me.I scoffed. "Harpe

    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

    "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.
