SIMONE.
“It's not so big of a deal. She rides better than you do!” Those were the first words that seeped through Marcel's lips. I glanced up, passing him a frown, hair to toe, my eyes lingering on the messy situation he was in at the moment, a hand against his cock and his cum still slipping off his palms. “You bloody lied to me, Valerie i trusted you with everything; you are my sister, and you've been fucking my mate.” I asked, still yelling, My heart squeezed in my chest, but after the pitiful act, I felt instant hatred towards them. I launched towards Eleanor, who remained mute but was thrown off my marcell. His cum stained hands grabbed forcefully onto my neck, and all I saw was bitterness and anger in his eyes. “Are you crazy? Do you want to harm the child?” He asked right on cue, and valerie parted her lips as if to speak but then hesitated. "Did you get pregnant for him?" You are his mistress?” I asked again, and this time she stood to her feet, wrapped a thin sheet of linen over her body. “Are we blood related? Simone, stop making everything all about you; besides, I didn't ask him to come to me. We make a better couple than you will ever do; it's not my fault you can't get pregnant, and all this won't stop anything. You are barren, and that's the truth.” Valerie's words struck me by surprise; I never knew what friends were from the fear of betrayal, but nothing hurts the most, my step sister, having those words said to me. That was the highest level of betrayal anyone could make. Before pulling closer to me, Marcel let go of his grip on his dickey and wrapped a towel around his waist. "I, Marcel Gerald, reject you, Simone Meyers, as my mate.” I stared at him blankly, cracking within myself. I fought hard to have my tears held back in “Three years of marriage. Three bloody years... three years of being your mate, putting up with your crap, and this is what you do?” I asked, and a scoff eased through Valerie's lips, responding to my words. “I've been with him for just the same three years; why is it such a big deal? You only got married to him because our father wanted it, and now he chose me.” Valerie asserted. She has been with him for three years. Marcel had been having a good time with my sister even before our marriage. "I, Simone meyers, accept your rejection." I responded with a glare, putting up every fiber of restraint I could. felt insane desire if given the chance, to maul those eyes from Valerie's head, but she was right; we had different mothers and fathers; we were raised the same way; her father had taken me in as we were born on the same day; yet we weren't related. she remained the true daughter to the alpha, I was nothing but adopted. “I will have my revenge, I promise you!"“ I snapped, passing them both a stone-cold glare before storming out of the room. I ignited my car once more; I needed an escape from reality. All I needed was a drink. I found out my mate had been in an affair for years with my twin sister, and she was pregnant with him.” My heart shattered a billion times and over, yet I dared not voice my worry or pain. Being weak had gotten me nothing so far; it wouldn't matter; I was done being weak and useless; it was time I made a change in my life, but first off, a drink was necessary.“Where are you, Simone?' My father's cold and daring voice called out through the mindlink. A frustrated groan escaped my lips.
“It doesn't matter..get back home now; you are to get married in place of your stepsister... The Lycan king would be here tomorrow for you; we don't want to keep him waiting.” Having said a piece of his mind, he disconnected the mind link while an erratic laughter eased through my lips. No one gave a fuck about me... It wasn't that I mattered anyway; my parents, the entire pack, they all knew about the affair. Everyone but me. ***My senses were jumbled up, my focus scattered, but I was no fool; I knew something was off. A strange man seated in the corner of the bar, the blue in his orbs had shone in my direction, and after I walked into the bar, his gaze remained pinned on mine.
Everyone had been glaring at me with low whispers; I didn't mind; I was the mate to their alpha, weak, and barren , who had gotten married to a man who kept an affair with her foster sister. What was that to not gossip about? I'm in my drunken state. I whipped out my finger at the bartender while a light laughter eased through my lips. “They look good together.” I admitted it for the first time, and tears streaked off my cheeks while I ordered more drinks. I took several shots. I could barely think after a total of three tequila bottles, but I felt the urge to pee. My legs failed me; I went tumbling across the floor, yet no one had bothered helping me. Slowly, yet after several failed attempts, I stood to my feet. “Are you okay, miss?” A voice finally asked; his face was hidden, he had Cap on, and I remained in his hands, yet I could only stare at the plump, moist lips of his curve into a devilish grin. “Your fucking off hand, me,” I snapped, not caring that he had been the one who helped me to my feet's. He held his grip on me, and he slowly began to move my back. I wasn't sure what it was about; I didn't care much anyway; he couldn't murder me in a room full of people. But then I glanced around. And then it dawned on me: it was just him and me alone in the bar; the bartender didn't seem to pay much attention to either of us. “What do you want?” I asked coldly, my feet wobbling as I fell into his chest, surprised to see the broadness and thickness they bore. I swallowed hard, and I could still see orbs, Bright's blue, or perhaps brighter, boring into mine. “You don't look too good; it bothers me." He responded. I felt his palm graze across my cheeks for a while. I bit down on my lips subconsciously; his mere touch sent tingles down to me. Unspoken tension lies between us, our eyes mixed into each other for a moment. I gagged on reflex, feeling the nausea from the alcohol hit me. He swept me off my feet on cue, helping me with haste into the bathroom, my head pinned against the sink while I retched continuously. Finally, I wiped off my face to glance back at the man who stood before me, gentle to the brim, not saying a single word. “I booked a room; I'll tuck you in, then leave.” His tone was curt and his decision final; something about the way he spoke made my skin crawl from excitement; I didn't want to defy him. I followed behind him, my feet wobbly and my head still banging. I missed a flight of stairs, and he held me up, lifting me into his arms until we were finally in the room. “Wait…” I asserted, holding a clutch on his wrist, seeing how he was about to leave. “Is there anything you want from me?” His voice was soothing, the baritone in them sounding husky and attractive. I swallowed, not wanting to make a fool of myself, but once again the pain of betrayal sank into me as tears ran down my cheeks. “Stay with me; I don't want to be alone.” I offered, my voice thinning out, but at the end, he had a curious and amazed glint in his eyes, but said nothing and slowly made his way toward the edge of the bed. “He cheated on me... It wasn't my fault that I couldn't give birth; I'm not infertile, but he cheated on me with my sister; she is pregnant; you know they've been having an affair for three years, and I knew nothing of it." I asked, Silence heavy in the air, I felt foolish for pouring my entire heart into a stranger, but I was desperate. I needed someone who wouldn't judge me. “Don't cry, princess... It doesn't suit you; being weak doesn't suit you,” he asserted. I tensed up as he stroked my chin fondly, grazing his thumbs over my tears and wiping them off. I didn't feel repulsed by this act; it made me relaxed. “I'm nothing but weak, an omega from birth; I believe my marriage was perfect, but you know what now? Even my parents don't give a damn about me; I'm being sold... I'll be tossed aside to the Lycan king... THE LYCAN KING..." I repeated, stuttering as I spoke, my heart shattering in my chest accompanied by a feeling that twisted my guts. “It can't be that bad; wouldn't you want to get away from this place? After everything?” He asked, and I smiled meekly, sniffing hard. “He's a monster. Everyone knows he's a monster. What use is being so powerful if no one loves him? Rumours say he's cursed... Some say he looks ugly and can't walk in the daytime, but it doesn't make a difference; he's a monster. I don't want to end up with someone like that.” I buried my head against his chest after speaking. All I got was a little Sigh from him; he patted my head slowly and ran his fingers into my hair. “This monster…. You want me to save you? You don't want to be with him?“ He asked again, pulling away from me slowly. I nodded, matching my gaze with his. “I'd do anything not to end up with him, but it's too late now; nothing can be done.” His plump. Moist pink-shaded lips settled on mine just as I had finished speaking. I felt his fingers ran beneath my dress and clasped to my back. Our lips flipped across each other and tongue as well before he finally pulled away, leaving me hungry for more while panting heavily. “I will do anything for you... But don't cry again, princess; I'll protect you.” I wasn't sure he understood all I had said. But I didn't care. I felt his weight on me, his lips sending trails of wet kisses across my earlobes and down my neck while I moaned beneath him. His fingers parted my laps, and I felt him rub his thumb on my wet cunt. . I moaned from pleasure, arching up my back. He worked his way beneath them and slowly slid in his fingers. I could hear his light whimpers as his already hard dick twitched in his pants.“I want you. Do you want me?” He asked. Such attraction this man had, even his voice did things to me. I had lost my voice from merely looking at him, and all I did was nod slightly. He pulled down his pants. My gaze widened from shock seeing his already erect cock.
He was freaking huge, and I suddenly became self-aware; it might hurt... It's been a long time, Marcel, and I had any form of intimacy. “If it hurts, bite my shoulders that way I would stop; now spread your legs for me, princess,” he whispered, his voice arousing me the moor, and I felt him thrusting into me while a loud moan escaped my lips.SIMONE.A heavy migraine coupled with the soreness between my thighs was the first feeling that reeled into me. I yawned lazily, pulling myself slowly from the bed.Panic struck me as my hand had brushed over something...hairlike. A loud gasp eased through my lips. Hastily, I blocked my mouth with my palms as a sudden realization dawned on me... I slept with someone, and it wasn't Marcel.I studied the man carefully; he was fast asleep, his thick brows complimenting his squared jaws and point noise, those plump lips of his...I really must have gone mad. Having such audacity to sleep and fantasize about a man that wasn't my husband...Husband,I was brought back to reality. I reached for my phone to see that I had gotten fourteen calls from my father and two from Marcel.“Crap!” I needed to meet with the king today. Slowly yet hastily, I wiggled into my clothes, grabbed my phone, and sprinted across the room towards the main entrance. My heart ached as I took a long and lasting glan
SIMONE.I was visibly shaking; cold sweats trickled down from my temples as he pulled away from me. I could see him grinning widely, yet I couldn't tell what was going on in that pretty head of his.“Have you two met before?” Marcel was quick to ask, and I saw how pissed off he was at the sight of the Lycan king and me kissing.“I don't answer to lowly miscreants like you; I came here for my bride, and I'll be leaving with her.” Giovanni responded curtly; his voice, gesture and words all demanded respect. Marcel had gone white from fear yet seemed to be so green from envy, gotten cut short by Giovanni's words.“My betta would have the alliance settled; I do not wish to spend a minute more in this pack... I'm leaving; it's nice meeting you all,“ he asserted again, turning on his feet while grabbing me by my arms and dragging me behind him.“Simone. Wait” Marcel yelled out after me. I stopped for a brief moment, turning to face him, my heart racing in my chest. He hesitated for a bit bu
GIOVANNI'S POV.Not once, twice, or thrice had she stolen secret glances at me. I smacked my lips together hungrily. The mere thought of being alone with her made andrelaline pump through my veine, she tensed up after all I had blurted out what came to my mind.The car pulled over, and a sigh eased across my lips as I helped her out of the car; slowly she set her palms into mine.“This is your home now, our new home.” I announced, gloating imwardly with an air of pride,her eyes sparkled with joy—or was it a reflection of being gone from the pack which had basically destroyed her?I grimmaced at the mere thought of it. Each one of them would pay; I'll make them regret setting a finger on her skin; every inch of her body belonged to me alone.“I need rest. We wouldn't stand here all day, would we?” She asked, trying to keep her sarcasm although I had seen her face turn red when I asked that she put me on a leash."Simone,” I called out to her, reaching for her hair and coiling my fing
SIMONE.Was he gone already?. I knew I was ungrateful, and I may have pushed further than I ought to, but I wouldn't make the same mistake twice. I needed him to understand that I wouldn't fall for his trick like I had with Marcel.That I wouldn't swoon after him, that I wouldn't foolishly put him as a first priority in hopes that with time he would love me, nor would I forget that I had no intentions to believe any word of affection that slid through his lips.Yet I couldn't thug this nagging feeling I got out of my belly; I slid into my flip-flops. Turning the doorknob before slowly peeking out. The corridors were well lit; I almost couldn't tell it was nighttime.His mansion was huge; I dared not go far, there were no maids around; I could get lost easily, but I didn't want to stay alone. I somehow craved his comfort.A loud screech eased through my lips as I flinched backwards, scared as fuck as I felt something brush on my skin.“It's just me.” His voice called out, I swallowed
GIOVANNI'S POV.“Stay away from me!” I retorted, pulling away from her lingering gaze.” Please Simone, not now..I can't I'll! Hurt you” I explained pushing further away .“You want me to have you on a leash, you promised to be my doh!” She snarled back, stopping !e grabbing me by the arms once again,Her touch melted down my spine and I felt so possessive about her, thankfully no one was home, or I would have gauged out any eyes that could see her at this moment.“Please princess, let me leave," I pleaded, but She pushed closer to me, pressing her lips against mine, her eyes staring directly into me.“I'm yours to claim, so go ahead, don't shy away from me Giovanni, I want you just as much as you want me.” She asserted making a town.“ but..”“I won't break, I'm quite strong.” She added in , I glanced at her, hair to toe, grinning before shoving her into my arms, kissing her ,pure hunger engulfing me .She wrapped her arms firmly around my neck as I devoured her lips into mine, kissin
SIMONES POV.Sudden panic engulfed me as soon as I split my orbs; my bed was empty; he wasn't in... He was gone.Memories of the previous occurrences flashed through my orbs. I felt foolish for giving myself away to him so easily, even after making a note not to be swooned. I trailed my hands over the bite mark lingering on my neck. He marked asked me,He fucking marked me, and he left.“My lady, I'm coming. A feminine voice called out the door pushed open on cue as a maid made her way in, looking quite happy she wouldn't stop stealing curious gazes at me as she placed the tray by my bed.“Your breakfast, milady, she offered. A wide smile stretched on her lips.“Giovanni? Where is he?” I enquired, my heart sinking in my chest.“He's at the garage; he's about to leave.”I stood to my feet, storming towards the door. Why was he leaving? Did he regret sleeping with me? He marked me; it must mean something, right?. Why on earth would he leave without saying a word to me?.“You can't leave
MARCELS POV.Pacing back and forth in the office, sweat trickled down my temples. I wanted to know why he was coming around, but I didn't want him here.“Alpha Marcel, he is here,” my beta Edmond asserted in haste, pushing open the doors.“You can leave now,” I ordered, curtly clearing my throat before relaxing back into the chair. Just as I expected, the door flung open, and Giovanni made his way in with a scowl on his face.“Why are you here on curt notice, aren't you busy being Lycan king?” I asked, not bothering to hide the bitterness of sarcasm in my words.“Isn't it right that I pay my in-laws a visit?“ He responded, a scoff quick to ease across my lips on hearing his response. Who was he fooling with such an irritating response?“The alpha king is away on business; I'm sorry to disappoint you, but its best you return before the day gets dark.” I asserted blindly once again, heading towards the door.“I'm be spending the night here; my men had been worn out from the drive." he
SIMONES POV.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you that hard.” A warm voice called out to me, and slowly I pushed open my orbs, feeling slight pain in my temples. As the previous occurrence sank into my mind.With a loud scream, I flinched backward, staring at the oddly perfect pretty man standing before me.“I wouldn't hurt you Hectane; don't be scared,” he whispered, assuring me by taking slow steps back from me.“I'm not Hectane , you psycho! What do you want? Why did you take me?” I chorused in confusion; my heart wouldn't stop racing yet, like I had been spellbound not to flinch. I remained in the spot.My gaze settled on his; he had a pair of brown eyes, cat-slit in shape; however, his alluring white hair let down over his shoulders, coupled with his pale face, red lips, and pointy nose, made this man stand out severally.He was tall, slender, had the fragile body build of a woman, fingers long, dainty, looking like they'd never been put to work before.Was he really a man? He lo
GIOVANNI'S POV.My mate was dead. I killed her. I came to terms with it, and what else could I do After ripping off the only woman whom I adored. Worshipped and obsessed about into shreds? Not much, I admitted. Which was why I was stuck in this case. The bumpy roads unsettling me the more, I passed a pivotal gaze at Garson who was seated right by my side, his eyes out the window, but his mind was probably miles away.Fine, this was awkward…matter of fact, the entire week had been, after the confession we made that night,It pulled me out of whatever black hole I was spiraling into, and as much as I tried to act like nothing had happened, I realised I was only making things worse.“It was all a long time anyways; I don't love you anymore.”. Garson explained frankly. Staring me in the eye before we started the drive.I didn't see him in that light; he was my best buddy, and I straight up didn't give a damn about his sexuality but with my dead mate, the pack troubles had been weighing
.SIMONE'S POVThe pain of his fangs buried in my wrist dissolved into a pleasure so profound it was almost intoxicating. His tongue darted across the sensitive skin, lapping up every drop as though it was the only thing keeping him alive. My chest rose and fell erratically, my breath shallow, my heart pounding like a war drum in my ears. "Lazaro…" I whispered his name, unsure whether it was a plea to stop or to keep going. My free hand gripped the edge of the table behind me for support, but even the cold, solid surface couldn’t ground me. His gaze lifted from my wrist to meet mine, and for a moment, I forgot to breathe. Those sapphire eyes were darker now, eclipsed by hunger and something else—something primal, untamed, and utterly consuming. "You're trembling," he said, his voice rough, barely more than a growl. His lips brushed against my wrist as he spoke, the warmth of his breath sending shivers down my spine.I wanted to deny it, to tell him I was fine, but my body betrayed m
.SIMONE'S POV A soft, feathery touch grazed past my ears; I mumbled inaudible gibberish, groaning from the ticklish feeling against my skin.“Awake yet?” His soft voice called out to me; I grumbled, closing my eyes shut for a brief moment.My body shook; I tossed from side to side, finally pushing open my eyes to meet with the set of blue ones I had come to get used to.“Lazaro... not now; I slept bloody late. I don't think you should have woken me yet “. I complained. Acting like the spoilt brat I suddenly was,I pushed myself off to the edge of the bed, his eyes following every single direction of mine, a light smirk strapped to the sides of his lips.“I'm sorry, you were… well… crying in your sleep.” Just when he spoke, I noticed the beads of tears rolling off my cheeks slowly; I brushed my fingers past them, wiping them off. I shied away from his gaze, standing toward the curtains to push them open.He doesn't say anything; he watches in silence. Nothing. None of us had said a s
GIOVANNI'S POV.3 MONTHS LATER.“Cut the bullshit!” Garson yelled, storming into the room, grabbing the bottle off my grasp, glaring at me, but I said nothing. I remained in the chair, half drunk, my eyes half closed shut, humming in low tones, rocking the chair back and forth, my eyes staring up into the night sky, dark cloudy, full of stars… the cold wind brushing past my skin.What in the bloody hell is wrong with you? You didn't have it this bad when Hayley died, so what's so special? It's been three months. Get over it,” he yelled again. I couldn't blame him; in fact, I could, but I didn't want to. I glanced sideways; I could see that he still has men stationed right outside my door, just like he did everywhere I went. “Or what? You'll kill me? Murder me? Make my life way worse?” I asked. Biting into my cheeks, and then on my lips, he groaned, running his hand into his hair, fuck, he was frustrated as hell, and so was I…“Too bad my life is pretty fucked up. I'm sorry to disap
GIOVANNI'S POV.A strong string pulled at my heart. A tightening sensation, I couldn't breathe. I tried to move, but nothing came. Then darkness, and then I fell. I wouldn't stop falling, down and down. Towards the end of a bottomless pit, my breaths were erratic, mismatched; it was getting harder for me. Then it came down, dawning on me with great force: I was in pain; I was scared. Those were the first two emotions that registered towards my senses.I pushed open my eyes, panting heavily, drawing out loud breaths that were more than necessary. My body was soaked from sweat. I was in bed, but then my eyes trailed off to the huge brown ones staring at me. “Garson...," I called out slowly. I blacked out; I remember now, it was my wedding night, the curse had started, and then, nothing... it poofed into thin air; I couldn't make sense of any other thing.“Fuck... Simone, where is she?” My mind was blurred, my heart squeezed tight in my chest; I couldn't think well; my memory was all f
GIOVANNI'S POV.The image pushed me over the edge.I came deep inside her, moaning louder than I meant to. My head was in the clouds, and my cock released as much cum as possible. I wanted to fill her to the brim. I wanted there to be so much of my seed that it came spilling out when I pulled out. I’d never allowed myself this kind of satisfaction with a woman, to be as dark as I wanted without judgement or distaste. She knew exactly what I was and used it to her advantage. My upper lip was swollen and red from the bites she had given, and when I kissed her, I tasted her own salt on my tongue. I always kissed her when I was finished, silently telling her how much I enjoyed being inside her. I slowly pulled out, my cock softening now that I was satisfied. My cum dripped out of her and splashed onto the floor—just as I fantasised about. “Fuck.” I kept her legs around my waist and felt my cock harden all over again. I wanted to add more to the pile. I wanted her to have more than she
GIOVANNI'S OOV.I paced around in my room, my temples soaked from sweat, chills running down my spine with every passing second, both my arms crossed over each other, locked behind my back, the door opened, and Garson came in, looking equally as worried as I was.“It's almost time,” he finally announced. I shrugged, running my fingers into my hair, my eyes against huge curtain drapes, and the mirrors, it was dawn already, and the moon would rise in a few hours.“Remember, you have just two to three hours maximum, so spend time in the halls, say the vows, go on the lovely night, and meet down in the cave.” Garson asked, reaching for a tissue, he wiped off my sweats, adjusted my bows, and turned me to stare at my reflection in the mirror.My fingers crawled up from my messy hair, which Garson was now tending to, down towards my face. My chest, and then my arms, looked like the spitting image of perfection.“You look good; you worked so hard for this, Giovanni. Don't let anything stop yo
LAZAROS POV.“Took you long enough.” I slurred out, blowing off invisible speckles from my nails, relaxing my back against the bark of a tree.“I'm sorry, I had a little bit of an issue.” she responded, glancing at me, with a frown.“So, what's the news?” I asked, leaning even closer, my fingers trailing over her chin.“He asked me to leave” she responded, a loud whimper coursed through her lips as my claws pierced at her collarbone.“but I found something else.” She asserted in haste, I dug them even deeper into her collarbone, blood oozing off the spot as she whined from pain.“So? What did you find out?” I asked in response, staring at her misery-filled eyes.“She's the moon healer, the one you've both been searching for, that goddamn mate of his is the answer to everything,” she responded.panting heavily trying hard to catch her breath.“Very well then, you have proven to be useful.” I responded, pulling my claws out of his collarbone; she let out an even louder whimper, panti
GIOVANNI'S POV.“Easy boy, easy. She slurred, reaching for my shirt. I grabbed her hands, tossing her over to the floor in anger. “sex? Is that what you think this is about?” I asked, staring intently at her; she sighed, whispering inaudible gibberish beneath her words.“Oh please, get the fuck away from me, you bastard! You think that's what this is all about? Your fiancé is a moon healer. Do you know what exactly it means?” Hayley asked. her wrist wrapped around my neck.“Get off me, Hayley!” I threatened in a hoarse voice, but she didn't flinch.“If you don't, how about I spell it out for you? “she asked, leaning toward my earlobes. “It means she'll die. Once they find out about her, I'm sure she won't live another day. They'll come for her, and you know it too.”I grabbed her by the throat, clasping my palms around her, yet a smile remained on the sides of her lips.“How on earth?" Snap my neck, would you? Out of us both, out of this misery of seeing you try so hard to remain c
