Kristen's POV"How long have you been celibate?" Maddy inquires after downing her tequila."Six months, two weeks, and three days," my hand is already on my neck, massaging the back of it. The music is loud and it gives me a headache but I can't complain. My friends literally dragged me down here. Everywhere I turn to, people are either dancing or drinking themselves into a stupor.The bartender refills our tequila glasses."That's too long, I can't do without getting laid for a week," Sapphire frowns a little, referring to what I had said earlier."And neither can I get intimate with someone who I don't share mutual feelings with," I point out and stare around the club. "Might keep having flings with different guys until I find my mate," this from Sapphire."You've been loose from day one," I retort with an eye roll.Maddy pulls my glasses away, places her elbow on the tabletop, and leans closer to me with all seriousness, "You need to get laid.""No," shaking my head, I dawn my tequ

Kristen's POV"Why are you men so easy?""Trust me, we aren't. You saw me turn down a couple of girls,""That's because you knew I had my eyes on you.""No. I let you in because you and I have something in common.""And what could that be?" Blue-eyes doesn't respond but lowers his head to suck my flesh through my cotton bra. Something which makes me angle my head back and push my fingers through his hair because this is coaxing my senses.Yes, you read right. I am in the backseat of his car with my shirt torn and the buttons left everywhere. Then there's my huge cleavage for him to feed his lustful gaze on. He didn't kick me out as I had expected earlier, no. Instead, he carried me in a bridal style and left, stunning everyone around, including his friends.Random people don't behave this way, right?He accepted my offer and he's been letting me talk the entire time, not even asking me to shut the hell up. He didn't rip my shirt apart, I did because the urge to satisfy my feminine u

Calhoun's POVTwo hours earlier…I wasn't planning on cheating on Natalie, no. It never crossed my mind since I met her, she's like the best thing to ever happen to me in a long while, despite the six years age gap between us two. We're to get married tomorrow and she's to be my Luna, but I messed up. Threw away eight months of our relationship because I couldn't control my wolf to stay still. It was meant to be my bachelor's night. I had my beta and some men from my pack with me. We drove two hours away from our town just to have one last night of fun, but everything changed when she came. At first, I smelled her before I saw her. Being Alpha of the Greyhound pack, I have a heightened sense of smell and keenness than the rest of my pack members. She smelt of scented lavender and lemon shampoo. I heard her throaty little laughter and just as I snapped my gaze in her direction, I lost all touch of concentration, and then my wolf screamed 'Mate!' in my head. Something I thought I'd ne

This is a result of a blooper on my part because the drive to the next town is two hours.I missed seven calls from my mom and it's beginning to freak me out because I was dead-ass drunk and dozed off like I left the world or something. Now, Mom's actually thinking I wouldn't attend her wedding. Right now, I can picture the expression on her face, how she bites her forefinger whenever she's nervous. And then the dullness in her brown eyes. It's something I can't afford to see.I've tried to call back but she's not picking up. Probably away from the phone.Now I'm running around, shoving all of my clothes into my box because I couldn't pack up last night. Shifting into my wolf and running to the next town would have

It's been a week since they last saw me, a week of torment for Kristen and the pack.Gregory, with eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, stammers, "Is that really Calhoun?"I shake my head at them, my gaze hardening as I respond, "Yes, it's me.

Elder Festus inquires, concern etched across his face.Taking a deep breath, I begin the painful revelation. "It's a curse. Calhoun is bedridden, reduced to a skeleton. We've been trying to find a way to break it, but it's relentless."Gregory, the ever present pain in the assinterjects, "A curse? Are you serious? This sounds like nonsense.""It's the truth," I retort, frustration evident in my voice. "I've been trying to handle things, but it's not easy. The pack needs to know what we're dealing with."Expressions of shock and disbelief rises through the council of elders. Gregory scoffs, "A cursed Alpha? You expect us to believe that?"Elder Adolphus, usually calm, leans forward, "Kris

Kristen’s POVThe following day, the council of elders, along with some men in our pack, call for a meeting.“We’ve noticed something strange going on,” Elder Festus begins, his eyes narrowing.“Yes, what is it?” I ask, feigning innocence, my gaze locked on him.“Our Alpha has been absent for three months, and it’s you who has been handling things,” Elder Adolphus states, his expression stern.“He’s on a long business trip, but he’ll return soon,” I lie, maintaining a straight face and gesturing confidence with a slight nod.“Bullshit, that’s what you keep telling us all the time!” Gregory interjects, a young man holding a high position in our pack.I meet his gaze squarely, a controlled defiance in my eyes. “Do not raise your voice at me,” I say quietly, my tone firm.“Something is happening right under our nose, and you’re keeping it away from us,” he adds, fuming, his eyes searching mine for any signs of deception.“There’s nothing going on, it’s all your overthinking doing a great
