Zelene Sallow:
"Thank you," Oscar murmured, his attention momentarily shifting away from me as he arranged his trophies and certificates.
"No problem. I suppose I've figured out what job I could pursue," I quipped, maintaining a hint of seriousness in my tone. His gaze shifted to me, a curious expression on his face. I elaborated, "Promotional work. I think I could be good at advertising someone effectively." After a brief pause, he burst into laughter.
"No, seriously. What you did today, it's something nobody has ever done for me. You know, I don't want everyone constantly singing praises about my accomplishments, but I do hope they don't dismiss them either," he articulated, and I found myself wholeheartedly agreeing with his sentiment.
The way Lady Jewel had been speaking about him almost sounded like she was mocking him. However, ever since I stood up for him, he had thanked me a surprising twenty times.&
Zelene Sallow:The tenderness of his lips left me momentarily paralyzed. His hands were firmly holding my face, making any attempt to free myself futile. Not that I tried to resist.I didn't.I simply stood there, allowing him to draw me deeper into the kiss. His lips moved with an unrestrained fervor against mine, the sensation of them pressing, rubbing, and sucking ignited a storm within my chest.The faint click of the bathroom door acted as a sudden awakening. I placed my palms against his chest and gently pushed him away, though he didn't resist. We both recognized that Oscar must have emerged from the bathroom. I locked my gaze onto Shane's face, finding his eyes reflecting my own surprise.I couldn't believe he had just kissed me like that, and I hadn't even resisted. The impending awkwardness felt like a weight hanging over us, ready to drop at any moment. Thankfully, Oscar's sudden appearance from the bathroom broke the tension."Shane?" Oscar's voice snapped Shane back to re
Zelene Sallow:My heart was pounding harder than ever as I picked up my bags and made my way to Axel's room. His room occupied the topmost floor, with a spacious terrace adjacent to it. The rest of the floor remained unoccupied. I had heard that Axel preferred solitude, which allowed him to focus on his preparations and workouts without any interruptions."Why are you so nervous?" Mom's voice came from behind me, and I turned to see her holding Yuna."I don't know. Axel has always seemed a bit odd around me. Yes, he took me to the hospital when I needed it, but there's something about his gaze--it's just different," I sighed, struggling to put into words exactly what was unsettling me."Relax. I'm sure he'll be just as welcoming as your other two brothers. You were nervous about staying in their rooms too, but it turned out fine. They were both so kind to you," Mom offered a reassuring nudge as she walked ahead of me.I hadn't even mentioned the kiss I shared with Shane to her. I knew
Zelene Sallow:Months Ago On The Night Of The Engagement Ceremony:Everything went well, aside from the fact that his pack members and family didn't seem too happy. His mother, the alpha werewolf, left the dinner soon after finishing her last drink, while my parents were dropped off at their home by Ray's driver.I was happy. It was like seeing my life finally get on track. I had always yearned for a mate and felt a strong connection to love. I was overjoyed when I finally found love and felt a mate bond with Ray. He was perfect, but as we know, even perfection has flaws. His flaws were his soul brothers and his circle of friends. His friends were the best thing that had ever happened to him, yet at the same time, it was the worst thing that had ever happened to me. They didn't like me."Ahhh!" I moaned as Ray thrust his fully erect dick inside my virgin pussy and made me cling to his back with my nails piercing through his skin. I didn’t want to make too much a noise because some of
Zelene Sallow: Months Ago On The Night Of The Engagement Ceremony: I watched Ray shake his head in disapproval of the situation, yet he still had to make a decision. “Zelene!” he turned to me, even after seeing Vera's angry glare fall at me. "I have to drop her home and come back for you," he whispered, attempting to hold my hands. The sudden sigh of relief from his brothers bothered me. It was as if they wanted him to choose her. "Why? Do you not see how uncomfortable I am?" I whispered back, trying to lower my voice even more so as not to give satisfaction to his brothers. But it was increasingly difficult to hold back my objections and pretend I was fine with this mess. "Listen, before she comes back for you, I have to take her home," he uttered, and that's when I freed my hands from his grip. "Will she really come for me? So, you're acknowledging that she doesn't like me and that she holds bitterness toward me. Yet, you're choosing to take her in?" I couldn't believe he was
Zelene Sallow: I told my mom about what happened, my voice shaking as I went over the story. Tears ran down my face as I buried my head in her lap, seeking comfort from her calming presence. She gently supported me, giving me a sense of comfort, and then told me to wash my face and freshen up. I followed her advice, knowing that I had a showdown with Axel coming up in just a few minutes. As I went downstairs, I heard Ray and his mom having a heated argument. Besides their voices, there were other unclear sounds coming from Lady Jewel's bedroom. I sat down next to my daughter, still teary-eyed from all the intense emotions. My daughter was my only source of comfort now. She was the reason I kept moving forward and didn't care about all the accusations on my character. Now, they wanted to reopen those wounds. But could anyone ever clear my name? "I feel like I can't handle this every single day," I confided in my mom, my voice carrying a mix of frustration and sadness. "It's as if t
Zelene Sallow:"What is this?" I exclaimed, my voice carrying a mix of shock and anger as I snatched Axel's phone from his hands, my fingers trembling with a combination of apprehension and irritation. "It's the truth, our truth. Take a good look," he retorted, his tone laced with frustration and a touch of exasperation. As I scrolled through the images, my heart sank. There were more pictures of us together than I could count – laughing over meals, hanging out in various places, but most of them seemed to be taken during the evening hours. "What on earth! You must have meticulously doctored these images to concoct a narrative where I was playing both you and your brother," I erupted, the phone slipping from my grip as I confronted him, my disbelief evident in every word. How could he even consider presenting me with something so outlandish, attempting to manipulate me into doubting the genuine memories of my loyalty to Ray? "I did not. How can you accuse me of lying when the evid
Zelene Sallow: "Mom, it's not her fault," Shane intervened, physically keeping his mother at a distance from me. His gaze roamed around the room and then fixed on Axel's phone on the floor. "Look, he must have dropped his phone." His mother stopped moving and stared at the phone, but then she started shaking her head. "Did you not see him when he was leaving? He looked depressed, and now his phone is left behind. How do you think we're going to check on him?" she continued to bombard Shane with questions, although I was certain he already had answers. "Mom, he's an alpha king. He can take care of himself. He must be out there, doing something to make himself feel better," Shane argued. "He's not even with Jessica. Where else could he go to feel better?" Lady Jewel yelled, causing Shane to raise his hands in surrender. "Calm down. Oscar and Ray went out to look for him. I'm sure they'll find him and bring him home. You just need to relax," Shane reassured her, avoiding direct eye
Zelene Sallow:"Shane asked once more, 'You want to do what?' after I had repeated for the third time that I wanted to go out and search for Axel. I had found the brothers in the study room, thankfully without their mother, Lady Jewel, in sight. She was always a handful to deal with, especially when her sons had disappointed her on my behalf.Ray's eyes were still red, his black shirt was wrinkled, and his hair was a mess, but he hadn't taken his eyes off me since I had barged into the room.'I want to find Axel,' I reiterated, placing my hands on my waist as a warning to Shane not to make me repeat myself.'Ah,' Shane nodded weakly, turning to exchange a quick glance with his brothers, who appeared indifferent to my decision.""Zelene! Finding an alpha King who doesn't want to be found isn't that simple," Oscar whispered, employing his soft tone in an attempt to dissuade me from my plan."But you're forgetting that I'm his mate," I retorted firmly, determined to press on with my inte
