I feel anger towards River for working with that bastard Connor. She fucking betrayed me by conspiring to work against my wife. All the pity and guilt I used to feel has gone out the window. River's eyes glance down at our interlocked fingers and then between Elara and me. I see tears in her eyes, but she blinks and smiles. I glare at her, my rage rippling. It has always been her intention to cause problems between Elara and me. Now, it's all coming back to me, the tears and fainting. It was just a way to get her way. " Good morning, River," Elara greets politely. " G- good morning. You're here," her voice is slightly shaking. Elara narrows her gaze on her. " It's my home. Why wouldn't I be here?" she retorts. I like it when she says my home so confidently. " I - I didn't mean it like that," River laughs nervously. " Go inside, I'll find you. River and I need to talk," I tell Elara, still keeping my glare on River. She nods with a smile, trusting me to be with River alone. The ri
My eyes slowly open to the sunshine on my skin. I try to move, but strong arms trap me. I smile and look up at my sleeping mate. I didn't expect him to be a hugger. I love his embraces; they are so safe and warm. I kiss his lips gently and struggle out of his grasp. " Zuriel, I want to pee," I push him away gently. He only holds me closer. I slap him softly, and his eyes open. I kiss his neck. " You have me in a death grip. Release me; I need the bathroom," I tell him softly. Reluctantly, he let me go, and I ran to the bathroom. I wash my hands once I'm done and go back to bed. My mate is frowning, touching his cheek. " That kind of hurts," " Stop being a big baby," I laugh." I'm sure it left a mark," he continues, frowning. I roll my eyes and straddle him. He seems pleased in this position, " Should I kiss it," " Yes, please." I laugh at how childish he seems right now. I gently kiss his cheek. His hands gently roam over my skin, leaving a burning sensation. " You're distracti
I reach Zuriel's office building in 20 minutes and go straight to the top floor. Everything in this building is elaborate, with marble floors and white surfaces; I approach the reception desk. There is a brunette wearing quite revealing clothes. She looks at me head to toe and gives me a fake smile, "And what brings you here, Miss?" she asks, her voice tinged with a hint of unfriendliness. " I'm here to see Mr. Crawford. Is he available?" I ask politely, smiling. " He's busy; please leave," she sneers, and I gape at her rudeness. She didn't even attempt to call his secretary. I inhale and take steps towards the desk, placing my hand on it and looking her in the eye. " Call his secretary to check," I say. She straightens and glares at me. " He is busy and won't entertain you. He has a type, and it is surely not you," the receptionist snickers. I scoff, my eyes flashing, and she gasps, stepping back. I let my aura wrap around her. " Tell his secretary that Elara Silvius is
I go to the kitchen, and the staff bows and greets me. I tell them to make food for three and bring it out to the garden. While they do that, I go to see my parents. However, the servants informed me they had moved to a nearby mansion after my wedding. So much has changed, and I didn't know. I need to call and visit my parents often, but many things have been on my mind. The shrilling of my phone gets me out of my mind. It's Zuriel calling me. I feel a sting in my chest. I watch the phone ring until it stops. I'll talk to him when I get home. I get to my feet and smile as my brother and his mate approach, fingers interlocked. I scrutinize the woman. She has golden dark skin, amber eyes, and long black hair that she styled in braids. She looks young, too, maybe the same age as me, but I'm taller than her by an inch. My brother's mate is lean and a bit muscular. Clearly, she works out with those abs on her stomach. She wears tight leather pants, a tank top, and high-heeled boots. Kh
I open the elevator and go to the penthouse. I unlock the door, and my husband is waiting for me, standing next to the grand piano in the foyer. He approaches me, but I stop walking and raise my hand. He stops and frowns. " Are you alright?" he asks, concerned. I only nod. " I'm tired. I don't want to talk right now," I murmur, walking past him. He grabs my wrist gently and looks down at me. " Elara, you have to understand my reasons for not wanting a child," he says. I feel tears in my eyes again. I want to walk away before I can cry, but I choose to stay. " Just one, please. And if you don't like it, we'll ship it off to our parents," I beg, but he is adamant. "No, it will still be Levianthan," he insists. " So, I should get pregnant with another man's child and bring it into our matrimonial home?" I ask, annoyed. Zuriel growls at me and tightens his hold on my wrist. " I'll kill it and then kill the man who dared touch you," he says through his teeth. " This is unfair to
After I left the bathroom, I wore a two-cut dress and heels and carried my bag. I meet Zuriel in the bedroom; he looks handsome and ready for work. He is talking on the phone but ends the call and eyes me. I smile at him and walk towards him. "What? Did I leave you speechless?" I ask, and he nods. "Breakfast?" he asks. "Yes, please," Going downstairs, we find breakfast already served on the table. "This looks good," I murmur as he pulls my chair. I immediately dive into eating. I didn't realize my hunger, and the food was delicious. Zuriel is watching me as I eat, and I flush. "What?" "Nothing," After breakfast, my mate dropped me off at the university, and I entered the building. My first two classes were a little boring, and after I came out, I met up with Brandon at the university restaurant. "So, what were you going to tell me?" I ask after placing my order for tea. "It's about River. I found out something," I narrow my gaze. I haven't heard from River since she
I'm lying in bed, eyes on the wall clock. Why is Zuriel not back yet? Should I call him? ' Yes, please do,' Ara whines. She misses him, and I do, too, but I don't want to be one of those wives who leave no room for their husbands to breathe. Zuriel rarely goes out, so I should let him enjoy this time with Bruce. I close my eyes, determined to sleep, but suddenly, I hear a ruckus downstairs. I shoot up from the bed and run downstairs. I turn on the light in the foyer. Lou has already beaten me there. He bows to me and puts his gun away. I turn my attention towards Bruce and My husband. The former is on the floor; he must have slipped. " Hello, wife," my husband staggers towards me and wraps me in his arms. My arms circle his waist. " I see you had fun," I chuckle. " Too much fun," Bruce slurs, getting to his feet, but he lands on his ass again. There is another man with them, standing in the corner. He is handsome, tall, and lean; his hair is in little dreadlocks. I haven't se
We arrive home in thirty minutes, and only then do I turn on my phone and Zuriel's. I have an email from the doctor. I decided to open it after my shower. While in the shower, Zuriel joins me under the shower. I turn to him and stand on my tiptoes, kissing his lips sensually. He lifts me, and I wrap my legs around his chest. We share an intense kiss, and soon, I feel his fingers on my clit, massaging it. I'm moaning and calling his name softly. He kneads my breasts with his hand, he sucks my pink nipples, and I wince yet again. " Did I hurt you?" he breathes. " No, just continue," I pull him back for a long kiss, and I can feel his arousal build. His stiff shaft is against my abdomen, and my pussy pulsates in excitement. He pushes me against the wall and assaults my neck; I tilt my neck to allow him more access. His dick penetrates me without warning, filling me, and a long moan escapes my lips. I missed him in me so much. Zuriel thrusts in and out, and I cry his name. " I miss
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
