DerekThere was a look that her face had when I said that, and she didn’t look pleased.“You can feed them like this, right?“ I asked her, feeling a tad awkward. How did one handle having his mate coldly looking at him like this?Finally she let out a grunt and reached for a small stool, placing it before me and sitting on it.She began to feed the twins, barely looking at me.However I didn’t mind at all. Just being there, having her warmth close to me, and holding my children as she fed them. It was the closest to a perfect day I ever had.I would make sure I had more perfect todays like this in times to come.When she was done, she reached for a small cup filled with water and handed it to me.“Let them have it,” Alisha instructed, glaring as I reached to take the water from her. Our fingers brushed and she immediately snatched her hand away.After Ares and Aria drank their water, i noticed they had begun to yawn. Their weights became heavier as they rested their bodies on mine. I a
SebastianI let the crying girl collapse on the carpet after I rode my orgasm out, and stood up to my full height. Finally I had released some of that pent up energy.It was becoming harder to deal with the girls my men brought me, but at least they were use for something.I entered the shower, turning the water to the coldest possible. Each of my actions were on autopilot, and I finished toweling off and left the bathroom just as the sun began to rise.I put on my pants and a cotton t-shirt before staring at the lump on the carpet. She was still not awake.Or was she unconscious? I didn’t care.“Guard!” I called, and within a second, the door of my bedroom opened and the guard walked in, bowing to me. Without giving him a glance, I ordered, “Send this chit away. I don’t want to lay my eyes on her. And i will not be disturbed.”“Yes Alpha,” the guard took my commands and quickly moved to pick up the girl from the floor where I had left her.As he left, a yawn took over and I covered m
Sebastian:I entered the meeting hall to hear the sound hushed whispers around me.A smirk pulled my lips into a wide grin, and my green eyes took in everyone’s frantic gazes. They hadn’t noticed me yet.“Elders,” I raised my voice and they immediately fell silent, all of their eyes turning to me in an instant.The atmosphere was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.I chuckled under my breath; something about seeing them like this - so worked up and tense - was amusing that I might lose my head.“Alpha Sebastian,” I heard one of the Elders - the one that always deemed himself to be the spokesperson for the group - say as I sat down on my chair. It was more like a throne, with intricate carvings and gold filigree all over.I had enjoyed having the craftsmen make this piece - a symbol of my power.“Well well,” I kept my grin on my face though my eyes were piercing. “What was it that you called me for? You interrupted my sleep, so you know that? Let’s say I’m a little fucking cranky right
AlishaI hummed as the sphygmomanometer gave the reading for Hilda’s blood pressure. Not too bad. It seemed she was recovering nicely, which I really was glad about.Turning around I made notes on her brand new folder, only to hear a loud cough.Whipping my head around I saw the reddened, smiling face of Mark, and Hilda, who was silently laughing, covering ber open mouth with one hand as she wheezed.I was mildly confused.“Mark?” I asked wordlessly the question of what happened, and he reddened once more.“Uh… she said you look a little…” Mark blustered while translating for his wife and mate. “Funny…” he couldn’t help but chuckle.I snorted; of course I knew how funny I looked. It was I who made the disguise of course. What, with the scarf covering my entire head, the surgical mask, and pair of glasses that looked a little too wide for my face, it wasn’t a hard thing to wonder why Hilda was so amused.I glared teasingly at her however, and all she did was laugh harder, her chest hea
Derek looked infuriated, to say the least, but I was just as upset.“How could this happen?“ i demanded to know from Derek, my eyes piercing into his. “What the hell have you been doing all these two years to deal with Sebastian? Let me guess… nothing, right?”Guilt flashed in his eyes as Benjamin cleared his throat.My eyes snapped to the warrior as he said in defense of his best friend, “To be fair, a lot happened then.”Mischa spoke heatedly, ”That’s true, a lot happened, but what has he done to stop Sebastian?”I knew she was thinking of all the things she faced - her father dying in the cell, having to hide and pray to the goddess that Sebastian wouldn’t find out who she was, and the escape plan. It was all because of that which I understood very well.I remembered the days we still had nightmares regularly because we feared Sebastian or the Silver Moon Pack warriors would find us somehow. Those dreams slowly faded but Sebastian never disappeared. He only got stronger, and I hate
AlishaAs the work rounded up, the sun set and evening fell, i checked once more on the warriors and finished my work for the day.With a brief glance and wave at Melissa and Simon in the kitchen eating together, I went up the steps to where my two babies waited impatiently for me.They were already wearing their jackets and shoes.“Mommy, are you ready now?” It was Ares who asked looking mildly upset.“Can we go?” Aria was the one who asked that, and I huffed before nodding.“Sure thing,” I picked up the picnic bag that Simon had helped to pack for me. Finally I would be going on a small nighttime picnic in the forest. It would be just as fun as camping to the twins.We left through the back door of the clinic where the guard Derek had introduced to us was waiting perfectly still. If I wasn’t a seasoned warrior I would hardly have noticed him.We walked up to the edge of the forest and i heaved a sigh of relieved when we entered the forest. I enjoyed the scent of nature which eased
DerekAttack… HER?My eyes went round with surprise as she aimed her claw at my neck, not moving still.“Go on,” she dared me, her eyes cold and words heated. I couldn’t remove my eyes from her. Surprisingly, she was nearly as fast as I was. I had no doubt she was hardly a match for anyone, and would be able to surpass even Benjamin.I was the only one who was made for her.“Go on!” She yelled at me and I raised my two hands.“Alisha… I can’t do that,” I said to her. I could see our children watching us, their eyes round at seeing their parents fight. This wasn’t what I wanted.It brought up bad memories for me.I didn’t want this for my children.“Alisha, let’s talk about this-“ I tried to request from her, but then she charged at me again. I began my task of dodging once more. This time she was faster than before and I found I had to hold myself back from responding to her attacks with a blow of my own.I couldn’t hurt her - it would kill me inside to do so.Soon I found myself back
AlishaThe evening passed in relatively peaceful silence after that, although in many ways, i tried not to think about Derek, whose eyes constantly stayed on me. I barely spoke, only focused on letting my children have a good time.Finally the night was to end and I wearily packed up the items. Derek held the twins in his arms, and I had to admit it was a great help for me. They were already snoozing and rested all their body weights on him, and I peeked at them numerous times to be sure that they were okay.“Thank you,” Derek said as we began walking back. The guard that had accompanied us was with us as well, keeping a small distance behind his Alpha. “For letting me stay.”I sighed; couldn’t he see that I didn’t want to talk to him? Having him near me irritated me to the core.I stayed silent, praying silently to the goddess that he would simply take the hint and let the rest of the minutes pass in silence.However Derek didn’t seem to understand cues like that.“Have you considere
