Determined to talk to him, I follow him out. He is standing against the tall window, watching the sky. " We have to talk, Zuriel," Zuriel growls in frustration and turns to me angrily. He is growling at me, but I stand my ground. Ara was right. He needs to know the truth whether he wants to hear it. " I said what I said. I meant it. I love you, Zuriel," I say firmly, looking into his penetrating gaze. He seems a little shocked that I'm confirming it. " We are losing ourselves in this marriage. It wasn't part of the plan," he looks distraught, running a hand through his hair. " What plan? There was no plan, Zuriel!" I shout. " Mine. You are not supposed to love me!" he retorts. " Well, I do," I say firmly. " You don't know what you speak of," he whispers, looking away. " I do. I love you. I've been in love with you before I understood love," I confess. No, he shakes his head. No, he chants over and over. What was his problem with my love? " You can't love me," he w
ElaraI woke up late the following day. I slept on the floor, and my whole body was sore. I exhaled and got ready for my day. Zuriel didn't come back to the room after he left. Is he with River? I wonder. I feel hurt in my heart at the thought of that. I look in the mirror. My eyes are big and red, a clear sign I cried a lot. This morning, I decided I wouldn't let what happened with Zuriel last night affect me. He wants to live separately, which is fine with me. I take a long hot shower to relax my muscles and then fix my messy hair and makeup. I wear a floral white sundress and sandals. Tonight is the night my family and friends come for dinner. I start by confirming with them if they'll attend. I call Khai. It's been a while since we spoke. " Hello," he answers the phone gruffly. " Bad mood?" " No, I'm busy. What is it, Elara," " Are you coming for dinner tonight?" I ask. He stays silent for a moment. " I can't make it. Bryon is visiting, and it's not right to leave him alone,
"What do you mean by that?" River growls. Her fist clenches, and her eyes flash dangerously. She is growling at me, barring her teeth. Did I hit a nerve? Was I right? " I don't buy your story, River. I don't believe any of it," I said, letting out what I had been thinking all along. I might be onto something because she is agitated. " I lost a child!" she barks, " I didn't lie about what happened," " Then you have nothing to worry about," I shrug. " I'm not worried. You should be. I came back for Zuriel, and he will be mine," she promises. I won't let that vixen get Zuriel. " He's my husband, we are married," " Marriages end all the time. And yours won't last, especially with last night's argument. Whatever happened, I know you freaked him out," she laughs and walks past me." I won't sit back and let you destroy my marriage. Soon, you're leaving this house. Don't get too comfortable," I promise. I know that would be a little hard because of the guilt Zuriel carries. She glares
" Alpha Bryon is a wonderful man. However, I don't like him in that way yet," I tell her, looking her dead in the eyes. I turn to walk and stop again. " Nevertheless, love is as easily given as it is taken,"I proceed to go upstairs. I can feel their gaze but don't spare them another glance.After leaving Zuriel and River in the foyer, I take a shower, pick out sexy night lingerie for bed, and put on my perfume. I'm sitting on the edge of the bed, ready to go to bed, when I receive a text message from Bryon. B [It was lovely seeing you tonight. Thank you for having me]E [It was delightful to see you, too :)] B[Can we meet up tomorrow? I want to talk to you] I reread the message. Is it alright if we meet up, the two of us? I'm a married woman, and seeing a man like Alpha Bryon would bring gossip even if there is nothing wrong with our meeting. E[ Bryon, I don't know]B[ Please]E[I'll see] I put my phone on charge and sigh.The door to the bedroom opens harshly, and slams closed. I
I woke up feeling tired. Last night was hard for me. I couldn't sleep knowing that he was right next to me. I craved him so badly that I wanted to touch myself, but he was there with me. His sharp air intake reminded me he was still wide awake, lying in only his boxers. His scent smelled so heavenly, driving me crazy. I lay on my back, not ready to get out of bed. I turn and stare at him. His eyes are closed, and part of his hair has fallen on his face. I want to reach forward to move it, but I stop myself. My gaze falls on his delicious lips, and the desire to climb over him and fuck him senseless is very tempting. I need a cold shower. It will take away my sexual desire. I look at him one last time, and his eyes snap open. His eyes are dark and dangerous as they fall on my cleavage. " Good morning," he says, his voice a hoarse whisper. I contemplate answering him. His behavior from a few nights ago still annoys me. " Morning," I say quickly and turn away from him. I hop out of
Elara" Princess," he warns." You said what is yours is mine. So, I want to drive MY car, " " That's not what I mean. You won't-" I raise my hand to stop him from speaking. I sashay towards the vintage car. I open the door and glance at Zuriel. He is watching me. Is that worry on his face? I ignore him and enter the car with a satisfied smile. It is a pretty car, and it smells so good, too. I inhale and start the engine, ready to drive this bad baby, but my smile disappears when I see it's a manual. I don't know how to drive a gearstick.' This is what he meant when he said you can't drive it,' Ara says, laughing at me. ' Not helping, Ara!' I can't go out now after rudely shutting him up. I'm so ashamed. I rest my forehead on the steering wheel, thinking about what to do next. "That is what I meant. I know you didn't learn to drive a stick," I lift my gaze and face him. He bent his neck to speak to me through the window. I glare at him. He has an amused smirk on his lips, and my
Zuriel looks at the woman coming towards us with estimation. She is stunning with brown hair and high cheekbones. She has honey-brown eyes that look at my husband with fondness. I feel a growl leaving my chest, and I instinctively move closer to Zuriel, holding his hand. I'm surprised when he lifts my hand and brings it to his lips, kissing it quickly. The woman stands in front of me and bows her head politely. " Hello, Princess Elara," " Hello to you," I look up at Zuriel for an introduction, but he doesn't say a word. " Zuriel, I was informed you are. Is everything alright?" she asks with concern in her gaze. I hate how she looks at him. " Yes, Elara, got in a minor accident," he told her. The woman's gaze travels to me and frowns," Are you alright, dear?" " Yes, I am. He just overreacted. My husband thinks I'm made of glass," I smile, staring at Zuriel. I greatly desire to show this woman that Zuriel is my husband. Mine. I'm claiming my territory. " Oh, that's a relief," "
Connor. The past few months have been unbearable for me. I'm in the Autumn moon pack, Elara's pack. I've been stalking her like a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I want her back. I shouldn't have rejected her. I should have found another way to get my revenge without involving her. As luck would have it, a woman approached me a week ago after she noticed me stalking my mate. Her name is River. She is Zuriel's ex-girlfriend. River wants to get Zuriel back, so we are the perfect allies. She gives me details about their marriage as she lives with them. We have one goal in common: to separate Zuriel and Elara. " They are having trouble in their marriage. They are barely talking," River says, staring at me with her light-penetrating gaze. River is a cunning woman and will do anything to get Zuriel back. We are at a café, discussing our next move. " Remind me again why you left this man you claim to love," I ask. " That's none of your business. What's the plan now?" she snaps. I stare at
My eyes opened the following morning to feature like kisses on my shoulder, and I smiled, recalling what happened last night. Killian said he loved me! I turned around, and he kissed me deeply before I could open my mouth. I answered his kiss, and when we pulled away, I caressed his stubble, " So, it wasn't a dream," I murmur. " No, it wasn't," he smiled, kissing my cheek. I laid on my back, arm over face. " What is it, Layla?" he asked concerned. " I need to talk to Dan and our parents," I sighed. " We'll talk to them together," he said. I smiled slightly at him. I was a little nervous. I rolled off the bed and kissed him as I went to take a shower. When I left the shower ten minutes later, Killian wasn't there. I went to my closet, put on a dress and pumps, fixed my hair, and then went to Daniel's room. I knocked three times, but there was no answer. I pushed the door open and stepped in. " Daniel?" The bed was already made, and his things were gone from the closet. I
Daniel used his phone to find another restaurant for us. He was mad that I hadn't told him I was in love with Killian. Oh, goddess, if only he knew I was still in love with Killian, except this time, my feelings are more substantial. That's why I'm gripped to Daniel's side. Maybe if I focused on him, I wouldn't think about Killian. We had finished eating and walked home. I grabbed his hand, pleased he didn't revolt against my touch. Once we reached home, Daniel kissed me and went to his room. He held my arm and got on my tiptoes, kissing his lips. " I'm sorry," I said quietly. " It's alright, love," he murmurs against my mouth. I kissed his neck, and he smiled, grabbing my ass and lifting me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him again. He grins, eyeing me intently, his eyes dark with lust. He kissed my neck, and his hands touching my skin made me shiver. However, knowing that Killian was somewhere in this house, nothing felt right about being touched by him like t
I was right to dread it because Killian had invited Elise, his ex-girlfriend and now friend. However, the look in her eyes showed that she still wanted him. Elise and I didn't like each other. I thought she was too much and too clingy towards Killian. " You shouldn't come," I murmured to Killian as we approached his convertible. " No, we want to," he grinned. Daniel had a list of things he wanted to do today: visit the museum, take a hot-air balloon ride, and visit the waterfalls. " Just let them come, love. The more the merrier," Daniel chimed. " Yes! Thank you for texting me, Killian. You've made me happy," Elise smiles from ear to ear. Yep, she was. I sat in the back with Daniel while Killian was in the passenger seat with Elise. The girl ran her mouth and talked about all the modeling jobs she got with Killian's help. I rolled my eyes every second she opened her mouth because she was that vain. We first visited all the historical sites before riding the hot air balloon
We arrived at my parents' house, and everyone awaited me, standing before the entrance. I left the car instantly and hugged my mom. She held me tightly, and then I hugged my father. Even though they visited me every three months, I still missed them dearly. I exchanged pleasantries with them and held Daniel's hand, " Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend Daniel, babe, these are my parents, Nalya and Rhegar Silvius," I said. They shook hands, and we went inside the house. I felt a smile on my lips. I was so happy to be home. " You two should freshen up, and we'll have lunch in thirty minutes," Mom said. " Okay, Mom," Daniel and I started to walk upstairs when I heard a growl from Killian. We both turned and stared at him. "Parents, are you letting them stay in the same room?" he gritted his teeth. My parents exchanged a glance. " I'm sure they stayed together in Paris," Mom shrugged. My father scowled, sending a glare towards Daniel. This time, my boyfriend whimpered under my fat
Layla I exhale and inhale as we land. My boyfriend, Daniel, is excited to meet my family. We have been dating for six months and felt it was our natural step since I visited his parents last spring. Daniel is tall, intelligent, and good-looking. We met at the hospital where he works as an intern doctor. He takes my hand, and I smile at him as we leave his plane. We descend the stairs, and I immediately see Killian waiting before his car, looking devilishly handsome with his hand in his pocket. Time stopped as I took him in. He was 6'4 ft with a symmetrical, pleasing, sculptured face created perfectly by the gods —Killian was very attractive, and girls clung to him like bees on honey. I glanced at his chest and involuntarily swallowed. The thin shirt he wore was straining to cover his eight-pack. His intense, bright green eyes were on me, making me shudder. As we approached him, he glanced at our joined hands. He murmured something and glared at my boyfriend. However, Daniel was
I smile and turn, wrapping my arms around my husband's neck—yes, husband. We got married on our first meeting anniversary. " I missed you, baby," he husked in my ear. " I did, too, but you were too busy with the boys, so I couldn't come to you," I whine. He carries me in his arms, and I wrap my legs around him. He started to walk away from the party while still kissing me. I felt desire grow between my legs. My fingers played in his hair and his neck, caressing him. Goosebumps appeared on his skin. I couldn't wait. I wanted him now. I removed his belt, and he helped me out of my top, leaving my breasts exposed to him. He immediately sucked and played with them with his tongue, making me moan. He pushed me against a tree and pulled down his pants along with his boxers, freeing his cock. I spread my thighs, my pussy dripping as he slammed into me. I let out a sigh of relief. " Hmm," I buried my face in his neck as he pounded in me. Our moans echoed the clearing. I gripped his
The truth about me had come out to the pack. The members weren't rude to me, but I could see their hesitation now. They were skeptical. I was glad the Silvius family didn't take it badly and understood my situation. After all, we don't choose our families. They were supportive of me. Khai and I were fostering Hope as we were in the process of legally adopting her. So far, it has been going well, and Khai has been an excellent father to her. However, Hope was still skeptical of him. I was in the kitchen, making breakfast for my daughter while she sat at the barstool when I felt arms around my waist. I smiled as I inhaled my mate's scent. " Good morning," he greeted, relentlessly kissing my neck. I turned and wrapped my arms around his neck. I kissed his cherry lips, and he deepened the kiss. Hope groaned as it got intense, and he pulled apart. " Sorry," I murmured. I couldn't help it. Lately, I feel like a wolf in heat. I want him in me whenever I can get it. " Breakfast?" I as
" Oh fuck," I muttered. Things had escalated quickly. My father was there with his over ten men, and now Khai had joined in the chaos with his beta, growling at the intruders. Before Khai shifted into his human form, several pack warriors appeared at once, growling toward my father, but Sebastian Vlad didn't care. His red eyes were on me, and there was worry in those orbs. I was holding Hope close to me. The poor girl was trembling, and her eyes were shut. Khai shifted into human form, and a guard brought him basketball shorts that he swiftly wore. He immediately rushes to me, kissing my temple and hugging me slightly while his hand rubs Hope's back. " Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?" he asked. No one could miss the fear in his voice; his fingers were touching my temple, which had blood on it from when Nigel banged my head against the window. " I'm fine, Khai," I mumbled, stepping away from him. My actions seemed to hurt him, and I felt a pang of guilt. However, I stayed rooted in
Marie The two guards were on the ground, out cold, but I could tell they were breathing. I turned my head to the side, and my stomach was in knots when I saw Nigel standing a few meters from me with a gun in his hand. I crossed my hands against my chest and glared at him, " What are you doing here? Does Pa know?" I questioned my tone hard. He approached me, looking as confident as ever. He smiled at me and gripped my cheek. I pushed him away, and he laughed. " Your father doesn't know. I came here on my own will," he said. I glanced around at the rogues he came with. I didn't know them. I instinctively took a step back, feeling apprehensive. " T- then why are you here?" I tried to keep my voice firm. He was acting wild. Did he rebel from my father? " I'm here to get you, Princess. I saw your message to Vlad before he could," he informed me. " I know my way to my father's territory; leave before I call my mate," I said, holding my car door. I was pulled back harshly by my hai
