Hi, can you give me a 5 star rating to help me with the book? This chapter was really long, so I split it into 2.
We left the office and headed to the large garden where a platform was set up, and the other pack members were waiting. The silence was biting, something completely new to me. The members seemed tired and beaten down, afraid. It would be a long road ahead.Drake stayed in the office for a few minutes, probably processing the information and mentally preparing for what was to come. I could feel the tension in the air as Jaden and I approached the platform. Jaden squeezed my hand gently, a comforting gesture that helped me stay calm."Are you ready?" he asked.I nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yes, let's do this."As soon as we positioned ourselves on the platform, everyone’s attention turned to us. The look of expectation and apprehension on the pack members' faces was undeniable. These people didn't trust us. Or rather, they didn't trust anyone."Good afternoon, everyone," I began, my voice clear and firm. "Thank you for being here. We have an important update about the leadership of ou
Our last task before leaving was to talk with the Alphas and Lunas about our departure and express our gratitude if they could support Drake. He had decided to stay, requested a few trusted warriors, and I granted his request. As an Alpha, he needed support. We gave him the freedom to choose his new Beta and Gamma.We were in the room, waiting for everyone to arrive, so we could finally resume our world tour. I was extremely excited, especially now that we had resolved everything.Jaden was by my side, reviewing some documents while I watched the room slowly fill up. They sat among themselves, each couple side-by-side, looking at us apprehensively.Drake was the last to enter. It was evident that he was ready to take on his new position, even though he hadn't chosen his Beta and Gamma yet. I was extremely proud of him, his strength, and the stance he took, even though he still had a bit of our captain in him.Deep down, he would never lose his taste for the front lines, and that was a
“Welcome to Lisbon, Portugal.”I was speechless; the place was magnificent and stunning, completely breathtaking. Certainly one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. "Jaden, this is... incredible!" I exclaimed, feeling the emotion wash over me.He wrapped his arms around me, looking at the scenery with me. "I wanted to bring you to a special place on our second-to-last stop. I see how fascinated you are with the world out here. The last thing I want is for you to feel trapped with me or think our life is dull and ordinary. That's why I brought you here, and that's why I'll spend the rest of my life proving that it's worth being with me.”"I can't wait to explore the whole world with you," I said, feeling like the luckiest person in the world. "But don't think for a second that I don't love the life we've built. I'm here, but I miss our kids, our friends, our bed. I miss the monotony. I love you, Jaden, and if I didn't love you so much, I wouldn't have stayed. You don't need to
When we returned to our plane, I felt very, very satisfied and tired as well. So, after dismissing our flight attendant, Jaden and I went to the private bedroom of the jet after a shower in the slightly cramped bathroom.It was very clear that everything here smelled of wealth, and I would never get used to it. I lay down on the bed, wrapping myself lightly around Jaden, resting my head on his chest and inhaling his clean, woody scent.My man had such a unique and distinctive smell. My mouth watered just feeling him so warm against me. I lightly squeezed my thighs and shifted in the bed, watching him sleep calmly. I wanted to wake him, but I was certainly asleep too.“I can smell your excitement,” he whispered, his voice husky.It was almost like a trigger. A shiver ran down my spine, and I gasped. Jaden was quick, roughly turning me over, positioning himself on top. “Don’t you ever get tired of me?”“Only if you ever get tired of me,” I whispered.“Well, we both know that’s never goin
When I opened my eyes, I was still so tired, but extremely excited. I was still lying in bed, but the plane seemed to have landed. I wondered how this could be possible since Jaden was sleeping soundly, wrapped around me."He moved us to another place and then brought us back," Fawn said inside my head."He’s so thoughtful," I murmured, closing my eyes and feeling my eyelids incredibly heavy and drowsy. "I've been so tired lately, almost double." I sighed, nearly falling back to sleep."Humrum," was all Fawn said before settling back down in the depths of my mind once again.The silence made me drift off once more, and when I woke up, still in the plane’s cabin, the air was warmer than before. I jumped out of the empty bed beside me and opened the door, only to find Jaden on the phone with our security team.He hung up right after I arrived, smiling at me, and it was the first time I noticed breakfast laid out on the little table that we hadn’t used yet."Good morning, my love," he sa
“Jaden, this is perfect,” I said, with tears in my eyes. “Out of all the destinations, this is definitely the best of all.” I jumped into his arms, hugging him.As we walked into the guesthouse, the receptionist greeted us warmly and led us to our room. The place was even more charming than I had imagined. The suite was spacious and elegantly decorated, with a private balcony offering a panoramic view of the ocean. The sea breeze was refreshing, and being so close to nature felt invigorating.“Jaden, it’s perfect,” I said, looking at him with eyes full of gratitude. “You truly exceeded all my expectations.”“I knew you’d love it,” he replied, wrapping me in a loving hug. “Let’s make the most of our time here. This is our final destination, and I want it to be unforgettable.”“A WEEK,” I exclaimed, bouncing on the spot and laughing. “A week in tropical paradise!” I spun around.One thing I couldn’t deny was how hot it was in Rio de Janeiro. How did people manage to live here every day
The sun shone brightly over Rio de Janeiro, and the sea breeze was a refreshing caress on my skin as I walked along the beach with Jaden. The sound of the waves crashing on the sand was almost musical, and the salty smell of the sea was invigorating. I was completely enchanted by the beauty of this place. The golden sand stretched out before us seemed endless, and the deep blue ocean merged with the sky in a stunning horizon.I was captivated; Rio was beautiful. Much more than I had ever imagined it would be in my entire life. This country was incredible — the food, the people, the cozy warmth.One thing I noticed was that many typical foods of the country were heavy, the kind of food that makes you want to eat and then sleep.Jaden was by my side, with a relaxed smile on his face. He was wearing swim trunks and a light T-shirt, while I was in a black bikini — a tip from a shopkeeper to get a tan like a Brazilian — which flaunted a beautiful bikini line underneath, with a transparent b
When night fell, we decided to get ready for the luau. I was still a bit reluctant, but I knew Jaden wanted to go. And deep down, I was also curious to see how it would be.I was anxiously hoping that woman wouldn’t show up. That her car would break down on the way or that she would oversleep, but that she wouldn’t show up — even though she was the one who invited us.I put on a light, loose dress, perfect for the occasion. Jaden wore a white linen shirt and shorts. He looked stunning, and I felt a bit more secure by his side.We arrived at the beach where the luau was taking place. There were torches lighting the path, and the sound of live music filled the air. The atmosphere was vibrant and festive, with people laughing and dancing around a large bonfire. Jaden held my hand, and we made our way to the main area. I watched the boys playing guitars and singing some upbeat acoustic music whose lyrics I didn't understand.To my dismay, there she was. The woman in the provocative bikini
