Irresistible Temptations Cross fire
. CrossfireMADALINAIt was difficult to distinguish who was more shocked - me or him. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach, mixed with growing anger. In the depths of that anger, a tempest of emotions churned and seethed."You marked me!" I yelled at him.He looked up at me, paralyzed by my fuming reaction, immediately covering his mouth with his hand as if he had said something he shouldn't have. Paradoxically, it was his actions which brewed a small storm of wrath within me.Breathe, Mada, breathe. Don't kill your mate."I-I-...""You what?!"He finally tried to speak but no words came out. At that point, he was already aware of the mistake he had made, and my outburst caught him off guard."You said yes." His voice was barely a whisper. As his words trailed off into a faint murmur, the imposing figure before me seemed to shrink and wither, like a towering tree struck by lightning and reduced to a fragile sapling. The strong, confident alpha male was gone and the person in front
Irresistible Temptations Attacked by the brother
A flicker of hopeAIDEN"This is your fault!" Fury coursed through me as I shouted at him.. Why had I ever let that prick's words sway me? If only I had blocked him out earlier, sent him to the deepest pits of my mind and refused to be influenced. But the damage was done, and time could not be turned back."How is it my fault that you failed to pull out on time?" Like pouring gasoline on a raging fire, each new word from Remy's mouth only intensified the anger already burning inside me. He should not provoke me like that."That is not what I'm talking about, and you know it!" I burst out."Don't be a hypocrite, Aiden. You wanted to mark her just as much as I did."True. Of course, I wanted to keep her as my mate and mark her. But she was right that the act was rushed, and I crossed the line. Especially after her confession about her violent past, I should not have forced a mark on her. Instead, I should have clearly stated my expectations and wishes prior to banging the sanity out of
Irresistible Temptations A flicker of hope
"No." She breathed out, but Alexei swiftly pushed her away. He pulled out his dagger, holding it firmly in his hand. Bracing himself for the impact, he was ready to fight the animal in front of him with all his might. But so was Remy.However, before Remy could make his move, a sudden gunshot rang out, startling all three of us. I glanced over my shoulder, identifying the source of the sound, seeing the shadowy figure emerging from behind the corner of a nearby building. Debra.The ranger had a smoking gun in her hand, seizing the opportunity of Remy's momentary distraction and sending two more shots in the wolf's direction. My wolf got hit in the back, falling to the ground with a thud. I could hear my mate screaming, despite the temporary loss of vision due to burning in my back."Run! Hide!" Debra shouted at Madalina and her brother. Then she aimed at my wolf again. Remy's painful howls made Alexei cackle. He must have been very satisfied with the unexpected outcome."No! Stay away
Irresistible Temptations Siblings in shadow
Siblings in shadowMADALINAMy brother was waiting for me, leaning against his car, his body language tense and his face twisted in anger. I took a deep breath and approached him."What the hell is wrong with you?" He snapped at me before I could say anything. "I can't believe you would do that to me.""I did what I thought was right. You lied to me, Alex. You lied about everything." I replied, my own anger beginning to simmer. Who was this person in front of me? I always thought I knew him.He used to be the one holding my hand during the most horrific events of my life, the only person I was willing to die for. Sure, there has always been a rivalry between us, but nothing that could turn into nasty lies. Betrayal from a family member cut the deepest because it struck at the heart of the one thing everyone longed for - trust and unconditional love."Eh? Since when do you care about them? Why are you being so overprotective of some mutts?""I am not overprotective," I argued. "But wha
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 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
Irresistible Temptations So attractive
"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
Irresistible Temptations Fire tango
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.
