Chadwick wasn't home when I got to his house, so I waited for him to return. I met Ellen's nanny, who was taking a break to visit her family members.

"How's your leg?" I asked, concerned, and she smiled while leaning in.

"I've learned to live with it. It's one of the curses of old age, but my drugs are helping with the pain."

We talked for a while, and being a good listener, I was a perfect companion for her as she smiled in response to everything she said.

"Between the both of us, I have something to say," she said in an awed yet gentle tone. "I see how my boss has changed ever since you came into his life, and I'm your secret cheerleader. You're like the missing piece in his puzzle."

A blush crept on my neck, and I pushed myself to a standing position to hide it.

"I know I'm just his son's nanny, but I know the man too well, like the back of my palm. He needs you, and you complete him."

While struggling for a response, Chadwick arrived, and she slipped away quietly.

His face lit up

    Chadwick's house was empty with neither him, Ken, or Elen around. I went upstairs to freshen up knowing that my man would want to cuddle and kiss me. I changed into some comfy shorts and a T and climbed onto the couch, streaming Netflix until I became hungry. The kitchen had a couple of uneaten takeout food from Blitz, a popular restaurant. I settled for a plate of pasta carbonara and was eating when I heard Chadwick's car pull in. He walked through the door with a tired look on his face. The last few weeks had been extremely stressful for him and were showing in his sunken eyes. I didn't think twice about it as I wrapped my arms around him, kissing his neck. Chadwick cupped my butt and lifted me to the kitchen countertop. His mouth found mine and we kissed like lovers who'd not seen each other in months. It felt so good to be close to him and I couldn't think of anywhere else. Chad's hands roamed over my body while I felt his hard abs through his sweatshirt. I could tell he was

    AshantiThe Saturday morning sun hung high in the sky as Chadwick, Ken and I embarked on a hiking trail. Because I was Lycan, it was very easy for me to meander through the stone path flanked by plants and ferns without effort. The cool mountain air felt good in my lungs and as I walked, my gaze drifted off into space, seeing nothing other than endless green grass. The view was breathtaking with tree roots crisscrossing the forest canopy. Birds sang from every direction as they fed off the fruit that grew there. It smelled fresh and earthy in a way that only a natural spring would smell. Burrs stuck to my jacket and Chadwick's skin glistened with sweat under the exertion. “Come on, Chad. Don't be a lazy bum today. We have to head back for breakfast,” Ken said over his shoulder.Chadwick tossed Ken the middle finger and grunted in reply before running ahead of us. His eyes met mine and a grin spread across my face. “Don't listen to Ken. You're doing great.”We stopped to catch our

    AshantiThe silence in the garden was extremely oppressive and I inhaled a stutter, wondering what my fate was going to be. What the hell was I thinking to have opened my mouth to tell Bianca that I was Lycan? I barely knew her and this could blow out of proportion so easily. I closed my eyes and sighed deeply through my nose, then took another deep breath to calm myself down. Her face was white as a sheet and she stared directly at me. I could feel my heartbeat quickening when I met her intense gaze. She hadn't said anything yet and it was fucking uncomfortable. I swallowed hard and tried again to speak “I’m… I'm sorry.”She raised her hand to stop me. “Were you sent to destroy Chadwick?" she asked, voice choked with a fear I'd never expected to hear.“What? Of course not. I swear on my mom's grave that I'm not with his father's group. And don't forget I said I am a Lycan and not a werewolf.”The horrific notion of being behind Chadwick's trouble disgusted me. Of course, if this

    AshantiChadwick's smile broadened in approval. He looked like someone who'd won a million dollar lottery after he had gotten over the surprise that I was chatting with his mom.I, on the other hand, felt a bottomless peace and satisfaction. It was beyond explanation, and things were finally beginning to look up, except for the secret that Chadwick had yet to find out. It was still surreal that his mother accepted me after finding out about my Lycan heritage. I expected the opposite from her: maybe a horrified shriek or, worse still, an outright exposure. She took it well and accepted me for who I am. I was extremely grateful for that. After spending a considerable chunk of the morning with us, Bianca got up to leave, picking her bag off the floor. “That reminds me, Chad, were you invited to Sharon's wedding?”Chadwick looked up from his laptop in confusion. “Which Sharon are you talking about?”His mother didn't even need to respond because Chadwick's eyes flipped full open in sho

    AshantiShifting into my wolf form in day time was the strangest thing I’d done in years. Ever since I began living among humans, I made sure to always shift at night, no matter how pressing or desperate I was to run for safety.Unfortunately, my greatest fears had come to haunt me in an even worse way than I'd have ever imagined. The Lycans had found me and escaping them was going to be a miracle. I ran as fast as my wolf's legs could carry me through the road, trying not to look back and hoping that they'd stop following me. Every part of my soul screamed at me to stay on high alert but fear and panic kept me moving.I could hear the Lycan voices behind me, taunting me with their laughter heavy with sarcasm, and they rushed forward with a possessive desperation to catch me. My heartbeat pounded loudly in my ears as I dodged and weaved between cars parked along the side of the road. I ran into the road hoping that if I veered hard enough to miss them, I'd be able to slip through and

    ChadwickFeeling mentally numb and paralyzed as a result of this shocking blow, I clutched my hands together tightly and tried to stop them from trembling. All I could hear was a ringing in my ears, and the sounds around me were muffled as if I were wearing earplugs. My brain stopped working and my thoughts were blank because what the flying fuck just happened?The very unbelievable image of Ashanti, the woman I fell in love with so deeply and passionately, transforming into a wolf in my presence replayed in my mind.It was scary that this same person I thought I knew was nothing more than a stranger. Blinking fiercely to see if it was all in my head, I leaned against the wall to control the dizzy spells that threatened to consume me. I realized how utterly idiotic I must have looked to Ashanti for not figuring out who she was. But how was I supposed to know? She was more human than any other woman I've ever seen – at least in my perspective - curvy, beautiful, soft.There was nothi

    It was impossible to breathe in this airtight van. My nose was stuffed with the thick scent of blood from the bruise on my cheek. I could feel the warm wetness of sweat trickling down my face and neck like water and the taste of iron clung to my tongue.My heart burned with sorrow and wild grief. This was punishment for becoming very relaxed and exposing myself to the public. Two of the abductors sat in front and the third one sat beside me at the back. The driver turned up the van's cassette player, whistling and nodding his head to some noisy metal music that added to the headache that threatened to burst my skull.It didn't help that the bastard over me was so messy, littering the back seat with wrappers and soda cups. I put my hands over my ears and pressed against the window in hopes to block out the thoughts in my head. My irritation grew, but what could I do? I sat there, numb and tried to focus on breathing through my nose and keeping calm.But when the scent of Lycan energy

    My father's housekeeper, whose name never stored in my memory, was a middle-aged male. He burst through the door, and the abductors pushed me forward."Look who decided to return to the nest. Princess Ashanti has graced us with her presence, though she needed a bit of... persuading," he said, his jaw slackened in shock, while the house helps behind him whispered among themselves. The housekeeper regained composure before speaking."The king has been quite clear about not wanting any disturbances. But this, this will certainly brighten his day. Good, take us to him, let him see the little runaway we brought home," one of the abductors instructed.The housekeeper had the guts to smile at me and say, "Princess, we've missed you dearly, your return is—" My response was sharp. "In your miserable life, don't you ever use that term on me."The poor guy was shocked at my response but remained quiet. Overhead, abductors laughed at my overreaction.The closer we got to the study, the more my fe

    Vespa's POVEvery detail about my wedding day brought joyful tears to my eyes. The tears were silent but uncontainable. I didn't mind that I was ruining my makeup in the process. On a beautiful summer afternoon, the biggest event of my life was about to take place. I felt like a fairytale princess and Kai made sure every detail I asked for in my dress and the decor was fulfilled. An archway adorned with roses and peonies, a velvet aisle runner that led me to my happily ever after. My fucking mermaid gown and a tiara, and oh, my groom who truly made my heart sing. This day was the start of our forever. Weak-kneed with excitement, I stood outside the majestic Moon Goddess Temple, a white, three-storey building with white marble pillars. My brother, Luke, waited for me with a warm smile, ready to walk me down the aisle.“You’re a gorgeous bride, sister. And it's not just your looks but the energy surrounding you. I’m glad you found happiness.”With a playful wink, his blue eyes twinkl

    The taxi drove away from George's family mansion and I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I was finally free from their judgmental eyes and condescending smiles. I felt a bottomless peace and satisfaction wash over me, relieved to be out of George's claws. I'd thought he was different, but it turned out he was just like the rest of them.Fucking manipulative bastard. After paying the taxi driver, I stood outside Grandma Zora's house and let out a swoosh of air. I was hesitant to go inside, wondering if I should tell Grandma Zora and Ziah everything that had gone down with George. But I knew that if I did, Ziah would likely go mental and attack George. He had a temper, and I didn't want to make things worse. I stood there for a few moments, weighing my options. Part of me wanted to spill everything, to let someone know the truth about George's family and their cruel words. But another part of me wanted to keep it inside. I decided to keep quiet and headed inside.My gaze landed o

She blinked slowly and couldn't believe what had just happened.I trembled and slammed my fist on the couch. She took a step back, thinking I was going to hit her.“What the fuck?” Her voice cracked. It was a low tone of disbelief. “You hit me!?”“Camilla, I—”She turned away from me, and I felt a pang of guilt. What the fuck have I done?I had tried to control myself but couldn't.

    CamillaI tried and failed to restrain my smile when I overheard Lisa fuming at Paul.She was saying that I didn't deserve to release a single so early in my career and that no one ever got such luck.Lisa was a jealous sadist, and at the same time, she wasn't wrong. I was too lucky to have found Paul, who cherished my musical talent and gave me a chance.I covered my face with my bag and warmth spread through my body, satisfied that Lisa couldn't stop Paul from helping me. I didn't understand why she was so bitter and consumed by jealousy.It was ironic that she felt envious of my success when she had her own unique voice and sang better than me. I counted my good fortune and intended to milk my success for as long as possible, and Lisa would need to get ready for more.Oops. She shot me a 'you'll pay for this' look. My heartbeat quickened as she turned on her heel and walked away.“Whoa, that was some glare,” I said to Paul, who was smiling and opening his bottle of water."What ex

    CamillaHours turned into a day, and I was super uncomfortable and uneasy in George's house. Fortunately, he didn't ask for a blowjob or sex, and I was glad he wasn't entirely stupid. He worked from home and sat behind his desk all day, and his mom had gone to a convention, which suited me fine. After spending the day by myself, George came downstairs in the evening when I was watching TV. I became uncomfortable and sat up, eyeing him warily.“Baby, let's go shopping. I want to spoil you with the finer things in life. He walked over, put his arm around my shoulders, and hugged me tight. His lips were on mine, and before I could get out an objection, his fingers were stroking my hair.He kept kissing my neck, and I fought the urge to gag. He stopped and looked at me expectantly.“You should be resting. Don't worry about me,” I said, looking down at my hands fidgeting on my lap. “And I think I should go home now. I'm not comfortable staying here anymore."“I insist,” he said and leane

    "She's with her boyfriend, the doctor."Vespa's tongue went limp, and when I gave her a summarized version of all that has been going on with Camilla and George, her eyes doubled in size."He sounds very manipulative. I don't think Camilla should be with him if she doesn't want to. The fact that she rejected his proposal is enough warning.""Grandma said if she leaves him, he'll kill himself. Camilla must be feeling guilty and feels that it's her obligation to take care of him.""That can never be me," Vespa said under her breath, and I nudged her playfully.When Kai called for a meeting, I knew he was about to enact some stupid rule that would only favor himself. I stared at him blandly and watched as Grandma Zora sat in her favorite chair."This had better be quick. I have a show to attend," Zeke said. "Fine," Kai said, rising. "As you all know, Vespa's coronation is near. She has decided to reject two people, and we know who they are." His voice was commanding and final and he gl

    ZiahThe silence in the house was deafening, it felt like a heavy emptiness that echoed through every room. My heart felt just as hollow, like something was missing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. It was like I was searching for something, but I didn't know what I was looking for, or maybe I just didn't want to admit it to myself.I was stuck in a funk, waiting for Vespa's return after five long days away with Kai. But instead of excitement, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Camilla.Camilla…Even the mere mention of her name turned me on. I couldn't shake her off, no matter how hard I tried. I let out a frustrated sigh and gazed out the window, watching the trees sway in the breeze. It was like my heart had a mind of its own, stubbornly fixated on someone who wasn't even meant to be mine. I wondered if Camilla had cast some sort of spell on me - how else could I explain this crazy, all-consuming attraction? It defied all logic, especially since I already had
