"You will have to repeat that," ! choked.

He can't be serious. Who in their right mind proposes such a thing? It's completely absurd. He has surely lost his goddamn mind..

He doesn't respond to me. Just raised his perfectly shaped eyebrow. As if he were changing me to continue pretending that he hadn't heard him..

"Shit!" | mumbled. I'm staring down at my heels in thought..

A million thoughts race through my mind. Making it hard to keep up with each one..

The last and only time I had been in a sort of making, it had been a love match. At least that's what I had thought, and it hasn't ended well for me..

What he was proposing, on the other hand, was a business deal.

It brought to go horribly wrong..

Could I honestly enter into such a mating after I had been burned? Then, I was shoved aside once my usefulness had ended..

The familiar pain that has a grip on my heart emerges. I stamp it down. Refusing to give it reign. It only serves as a reminder of how broken I am..

    On the other hand, I just don't see how his offer was connected to my problem or how it would fix it.. "Going feral is about your spirit or soul being unhinged. Unbalanced. It's about there being a tear or split. To fix this, I'll mark you. This will anchor your soul to mine and make you rooted to yourself and your wolf, " he rumbled.. It does make sense. Those who go feral do so because their spirit has been split. When you bond to someone and they break you, the heartbreak and pain can become too much that your spirit tips into two. Dividing you and your wolf. Since man and wolf are one, the division causes you to lose your mind.. Heartbreak isn't the only cause for going feral. There are different reasons why a werewolf can lose their mind. In my case, I had bonded myself to Darren in every way even though he hadn't done the same.. I want to ask Sebastian how he knew all these facts, but I don't. His expression brooks no further discussion on the subject.. "Okay then, if I

    "Splended, we will begin acting as a couple from tomorrow." Sebastian said, standing up.. A quick glance outside revealed it's evening. The sun was already setting down. I can't believe that we have been here for that long. I bring my eyes back to him when he moves to stand next to me. Offering me his hands.. "Wait! What's it?" I asked in doubt.. He looked at me in confusion at first, and then something clicks in his eyes. I honestly thought there would be more to discuss. Business contracts usually took some time. This was a mating contract, which is even more important. I expected it to take a bit longer.. "Did you expect something else?" He fires back. His eyebrows arched.. "Well, yeah.... Kind of off." I hated how unsure I felt when addressing him. Was I thinking too much or something? Was there really nothing else to talk about? If I was being honest with myself. I would admit that I wanted us to talk longer. I didn't want to go back to my cold rented cottage

    "Well, excuse me for caring about my future son," | snapped. Before leaving.. I stomp away, banging the door behind me. He doesn't call me back. Or try to calm me down, and I don't look back.. Once, l'm outside his gates. I realized just how stupid I had been. This was a remote area, and it was unlikely for me to get a cab. I didn't have my phone, not my handbag. Come to think of it, I didn't even know where they were.. I sighed and started walking, refusing to go back and asking him for help. I was stubborn but to hell with it.. Fuck it will be a long walk. I think to myself once I realized I couldn't see any other buildings around.. I have no idea for how long I have been walking. I don't even know if I was walking in the right direction or not I was getting tired and exhausted.. I was feeling drained. When I'm tired and l'm unable to be in control of my mind, that's when the darkness starts to take over.. I had to get home quickly. For!was a potential danger to ever

    Darren, I want mommy." Krystal says in a small voice.. I turned and looked at her. Wondering what to say to her. She looked sad, heartbroken. Nothing I do cheers her up anymore. She's lost interest in all the things she used to love and care about.. These last few months have been hell for her. I don't know how to help. I've taken her to the best child therapist but nothing has worked so far.. She's still withdrawn. Still depressed. Still sad. She used to have so much energy, it was impossible to keep up with her. She used to be the loveliest little girl I know. Now, it's like all her life has been drained from her.. It started a few months after Lauren disappeared. She had been having trouble sleeping so she came to my room. While I held her, waiting for her to fall asleep. She turned to me and said; "Will you take me to mommy tomorrow? I wanted to tell her I'm sorry for being so mean to her. I have been a very bad girl." I had been fucking surprised. Both from her s

    I was even more shocked when she didn't hug Krystal. I know Krystal said some pretty horrible things to her but I didn't expect Lauren to react like that to her own fucking daughter..Krystal had cried her eyes out after Lauren left. Especially after Mason told her how Lauren told him stories of where she had been..Krystal had been hurt, convinced that her own mother truly hated. I will never forget the pain Krystal's eyes as she watched her mother leave. Leave her without so much as a hug or word to her.When I went to see her in her office. Her coldness almost froze me in my spot. For the first time since we met, I didn't know what to say to her..Her eyes were blazing with anger, hated and bitterness. Two emotions I couldn't associate we with her. She was never one to hate on anyone..There was something else in her eyes. Something that screamed danger. Something dark and twisted. I couldn't place it but it had no business being in her..I wanted to talk to her. Know how she was d

    The next day. One of his men arrived at my cottage with my car, phone and handbag. He also didn't say much. Just dropped off my things and then went on his merry way. I haven't heard from Sebastian since that day.That was three days ago.. "What time?" l asked, sweetly, when all I wanted was strangle him.."I'll be by your cottage at seven.Make sure you are ready by then.Don't make me wait" he answered before hanging up the phone..Bastard. I think to myself. Why does he have to be so arrogant and so bossy? I'm sure his dick won't fall if he asked politely...I checked my watch and frown. I realized it's already five o'clock.That only gives me two hours to get home and get ready.."Is everything okay?" Claire asked probably seeing my frowning face.."Yeah. I just to get going.

    Lauren I heard the door open, and by the clean and circus smell, I knew it was Darren. I didn't bother standing up to welcome him home. What was the use? When I knew very well that he wouldn't appreciate it nor would he want me to. I was surprised that he had come home. I rarely saw him nowadays, and when I did, he either ignored me, avoided me, or lashed out at me. He would at times stay away for days that I would forget 1 have a husband. The ever-present pain in my heart is what constantly reminded me that I do have a mate. A mate that no longer wanted me. His footsteps approached the dining room. I sat at the dining table with a cup in my hands. I don't look up when his steps are near. I still don't look up when he stops a few feet from me. He throws some documents in front of me, and that's when I raise my head. "What are these?" I ask suspiciously, my eyes meeting his obsidian orbs. Just like every other time, we crossed paths. His eyes are cold, and his face is set

    stared in doubt at the humongous house in front of me. I can hear the booming music playing somewhere outside. I could also hear the screams of children and they had fun. It was Krystal's eight years birthday and I hadn't been invited. I hadn't even know there was party. How pathetic is that? Not knowing your daughter already had a birthday planned? I had called Darren to ask him what I should plan. He angrily answered that Miranda had everything covered. That shouldn't bother coming because neither him not Krystal wanted me there. I was the one who always planned her parties, and it was always done at our home. But this year it was being held at Miranda's. Apparently Krystal had asked her to plan it. Because according to her I don't plan her parties the way she wanted them. They were always boring and ugly and It had hurt to know that Krystal had never liked or appreciated the work and effort I put in the planning. That it wasn't enough. That she hated those parties. I

    "That's no going to work." I tell the man in front of me authoritatively. Smith," he replied immediately.Almost arrogant.I have been in this meeting for about two hours. We weren't getting anywhere. I was beginning to get important..I stare at William, the vice-president of Majestic Ltd. It was a textile company that Claire wanted us to partner with.."He's trying to rip us off," Blue mumbled, irritated..It was something I had already figured out. There was just something about the way he looked at me. As if he saw me as someone beneath him..Someone unworthy of leading a successful company. Like, I was dumb somehow, and he saw no problem with it over pricing us..My guess is that he was the type of man raised to believe women should worship the ground they walked on..That woman couldn't lead. Women couldn't become successful on their own. That was a woman's sole purpose is to do men's bidding and raise kids.That they were to be seen heard..I hated that type of stereotype. I hat

He is a beast underneath all that suit. Blue up for some odd reason. l ignored her though. She is enchanted by him, but I know he's a dangerous man.. "Where are you taking me? You do realize this is considered kidnapping right?" | ask, changing the subject.. I was treading on unfamiliar dangerous waters. One wrong move and I would probably end up in a situation I couldn't get myself out this mess. "I'm Sebastian Ashford, I own this whole damn city and I can do whatever the fuck I want Red." Shit! He was right. Darren is powerful but Sebastian was king of the city. No wonder Miranda had gone after him.. She was gold digging slut. Darren hadn't been enough for her. She had wanted someone more powerful. More prominent. With more money.. Unfortunately for me, I hadn't been enough for Darren.
