"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
Kuka Island is, as always, beautiful. People are friends, but today, I want no interaction with anyone. Leaving the village, I go deeper into a clearing with tall trees and greens where my family cabin is. The cabin is isolated, so we can shift without scaring the locals. I get a key in the hiding spot and unlock the house. It is just as it was when we were here last time. Someone comes to clean it once a week.I go upstairs to my bedroom and take a shower. I change into a maxi dress and then go outside. I walk a mile from the cabin and discover the beach. I sit on one of the large rocks in my thoughts. I hear nothing but the crashing sound of the water against the land. It is peaceful here. I'm in a state of tranquility.I close my eyes, enjoying myself. I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, it was almost dark. The weather has changed as the wind rustles the leaves in the nearby woods. I stagger to my feet when I see a silhouette of a man." Who's there?" I ask. I gasp
ZurielHer scream rings in my ears as we reach the cabin. I run towards her pained voice at lightning speed, and what I see has me shaking in anger. A fucker is hovering over my mate. I rip him off her and pounce on him. Fucking Connor. I growl at him. My wolf fuses with my dragon's side. I feel my eyes change color to a deadly one. I see fear in his eyes. Good, I want him to be scared. To feel terror for what's to come. I want to kill him for touching my wife, for all the hurt he has caused her. He tries to attack me, but I dodge his tragic attacks. He tries to punch me, but I catch his fist. I hit him repeatedly, blood gushing from his face to mine, but still, I didn't stop. I'm enraged. I feel Bruce touch me, but I push him away with more strength than I intended, and he goes crashing into a tree. " He marked her, Dude!" Bruce screams. I pause and look back at Elara. She is on the ground, and her friend has her in her arms. Elara has never looked paler. Her eyes are barely open,
