Sapphira"How... How... How..." I could hear Sophia stutter but I didn't pay her any attention. I snuck a glance at Raphael and noticed he wasn't looking angry or cold anymore.If anything, he was staring at me curiously. I snorted inwardly and turned my face away. He gets angry easily and says harsh words. I should learn to do the same or ignore him.He treated me every minute like I am not worthy of him and I am going to start showing him that I don't care even if it hurts.When I turned my face away, I didn't notice that his brows arched or he snorted with a haughty attitude.I turned my gaze to mother who was being helped to where her own dishes were arranged. I was a bit nervous as she inhaled the scent of the meals in front of her.'You did well. After eating those herbal meals, her stiff limbs and aches won't hurt so much any more. If we manage to impress his mother, perhaps we can impress him too.'I snorted again. At this point, I didn't want to impress him anymore. He was be
Rafael"Mom, how are your legs? What did the shaman say?" I asked as I wheeled mother to her room. Father was beside me with Ricardo."They feel better. I couldn't move them a while ago as it was painful to even make a move but after eating, I feel I can move them a bit," She looked up at me with a smile."Where did Sapphira learn how to cook like that?" She suddenly asked and I paused. I didn't have an answer for that.I had been boiling when I lost my temper there earlier. I was so sure no one would be able to save her from my wrath.'Maybe you have just been looking for an excuse to lose your temper on her,' Raf snorted in my head and I almost rolled my eyes.I don't joke with my mother. So how could she have put mother's health on the line? Lucky for her, it was all a mistake from the maids.I am usually very picky with food and only prefer it when the kitchen chef prepares my meals. But seeing mom's face lit up after having a bite, I decided to do the same to the dish in front of
Rafael"Why didn't you tell me?" Father snapped and I tensed. I was trying to think of who might have told him. But then I remembered the news of the mysterious killings has been going from pack to pack so it was no news anymore.But father has been away from the pack for a while, traveling around with mother and a few of his trusted guards trying to find a cure to her illness.He wasn't disappointed like I expected him to look but he was upset. I lowered my head and apologized, which is something I hardly do."I'm sorry, father. I know I should have told you sooner but we've got the situation under control and other alphas are also trying to help—""Other alphas?" Father arched his brow. "Why would you need their help with our pack affairs? It's the hunting season soon and if you don't choose a suitable forest for the pack soon, you know what chaos could occur."My jaws almost dropped and I exchanged a look with Ricardo. 'Oh my God, my heart stopped beating... I almost thought he fo
Sapphira"Mateo!" I shrieked before bursting into laughter at Mateo's antics. I was just trying to get him into his clothes and get him to sleep. Damnit! This cub is proving more stubborn than I thought.Not only did he have his clothes strewn over, he also had powder poured all over Rafael's bed just because I noticed the rashes on his bum and wanted to apply powder on it. And by the smile on his face, he appeared to be enjoying himself. "You... Don't be a naughty cub and get dressed. We'll have to clean up this mess before that grumpy alpha comes in."'He never spends the night here anyway,' Saskia rolled her eyes. 'Maybe we should damage or mess up his room so he won't be able to leave us alone in here for fear we might destroy his room.''Saskia,' I almost facepalmed helplessly. Now she was just throwing a childish tantrum and I could feel her sulking.The first time Rafael didn't spend the night here with us, it had hurt me deeply to think he was trying to avoid us or simply ign
RafaelMy eyes darted to the baby on the bed who was busy with the toys around him and clearly didn't notice the sexual tension just now.As I stared at him, I thought of how handsome a baby he was. But that was justified given his mother was a beauty herself. The stabbing thought of who his father might be picked my mind and my smile disappeared.I walked into my closet to search for pajamas. 'Raf, what kind of a wolf do you think Sapphira is?' I haven't actually wondered about this but then I thought, I haven't been able to guess her rank since we met.Is she a beta or an omega? Or could she be a—'A witch?' Raf completed his unsaid thoughts. 'Or a shaman descendant judging by how she can easily handle herbs?''Doesn't that make her a hybrid?' I pursed my lips as I finally took out suitable pajamas. I just didn't notice it was exactly the same color as the one Mateo was wearing.Infact, they could have been caught out of the same design if his wasn't the one made for a baby.'Maybe
RafaelWhen I returned to the room after recovering from the shock of what I saw in the bathroom, Sapphira was already laying on the side of the bed, snuggling with Mateo.I couldn't tell if she was asleep but I walked to the vanity table and picked up the dryer. As I dried my hair absentmindedly, I thought of what had happened in the bathroom.That has never happened to me in years and I couldn't help thinking it was because of her. But how is that possible? Am I not supposed to be—I turned off the dryer and turned to bed. I couldn't say for sure that it was because of her but I could find out if it indeed is. It's just that I am reluctant to find out.I could have sworn, I heard her gasp when he got in bed. But then I felt her move on the bed as if trying to scoot far away from me and I snorted lowly, suddenly feeling annoyed.Does she think it is easy for me too? I can barely think with her scent going over the place and making me almost go gaga. I could even feel Raf trying to g
SapphiraHe pinned me beneath him and kissed the remaining rational thoughts out of my head. My moans were stifled as my fingers escaped into his hair strands which were surprisingly soft and reminded me of the times I used to brush Mateo's hair.Was this the same Rafael that resents me? He didn't spare my lips until they were swollen. He looked into my eyes when he let go and I could see his different coloured eyes were now dark with desire.He wanted me... No, his wolf wants me."Sapphira."It was the first time he was saying my name also. It seemed like my thighs had turned wet with the juice that slipped down. I want him too... His voice had turned deeper and it sounded like a growl to my ears as he leaned down again and planted a kiss on my face, almost like he wanted to lick my face. His nose was perked up and I knew he could smell my arousal. I was ashamed of my reaction to him but couldn't deny my feelings for him. He kissed me again and my breath hitched. His kiss was so
RafaelWhen I opened the huge mahogany door, Antonio clearly wanted to speak but no words came out of his mouth as he looked up wide-eyed. I know I look shitty but I didn't expect my Omega to be so obvious about it. My eyes darkened and he immediately lowered his head."Alpha," He bowed and I turned around, making way for him to walk in. I took up the swiveling chair in the study and waited for him to speak. "We just got news this morning, alpha. Dante has gone over there . He couldn't be present here so I had to come to you."My jaws tightened as I waited for him to continue. Judging from his tone, I could already tell the news was nothing good. Was another wolf killed? Is it one of ours this time?I was quite impatient but I quickly realized my angry aura was making the omega scared to get words out of his throat. I remember the times I used to discriminate against omegas simply because they were too weak and easily scared. That's why I quickly bonded with Dante.But when I got
