I smiled as I stepped into my precious garden. The warmth of the sun on my skin, and the gentle breeze in my hair felt so familiar. I knew I would miss this place if I ever went away, but the way I yearned to be here doesn’t come close to what I had thought I would feel. I walked around the garden admiring the flowers and plants that my mother had tried to look after while I was gone. The amount of effort she gave told me she tried her best, and I am so grateful for that. I spent the rest of the noon tending to the garden. Pruning, watering, weeding, and planting. I adorned the feeling of the soil on my hands, the scent of flowers on my nose and the sound of birds on my ears.“Wow!” I glanced back to find Erdem standing on the porch, looking at the garden in awe. “You can do wonders to places.” His eyes fixated on me as he offered me a gentle smile.“Thanks,” I said as I looked back at the task in hand.“When will you be done?” I glanced back to find him standing behind me.“I’ll be d
After dinner that night, I tossed and turned in my bed as everything that happened flashed through my eyes. I bit my nails as I the want to slap my face ran across my head. Maybe I shouldn’t have talked so much. What if he found me annoying! But he too did not stand silent. But what if it was to distract himself from getting annoyed? I shouldn’t have gotten us such large bowls. It was really tasty though. Dejan even poured me some chocolate sauce. That combination of chocolate sauce and butterscotch though. Didn’t mother say she had some chocolate sauce in the kitchen? Goddess, I want to taste that. I sat up and sighed in frustration. I want the butterscotch too. I doubt if I’ll find any though. But there’s no harm in looking through the freeze, right?I jumped out of bed as I peeked out at the dark hallway cracking my door open. I tip-toed down the stairs and rushed to the kitchen. Searching through the cabinets and all the jars, I found a half empty chocolate sauce bottle. I took it
“Your mother is an amazing cook.” Erdem said and I smiled nodding my head.“She is.” I sighed closing my eyes. “I wish I had even a little bit of her talent for cooking.”“What are you taking about? You are amazing as well.”“You talk as if you ever tasted my cooking.”“That gâteau you made was one of the best I ever tasted. And the gibanica was fantastic among the other baked goods.”“How did you know I made them?” I questioned in surprise staring up at him. He looked down with a smile.“Everybody knows you made them. Sofija and Corvina wouldn’t stop gushing over how good you are and kept telling everyone how tasty the things you made are.” He chuckled and I looked down, heat rushing to my face.I knocked on the front door and soon the doors opened, revealing Milena. She smiled as she opened the door wide.“Nesta!” She smiled wide. “Come on in. So good to see you.” Milena looked different. She looked much more mature than I remember. The teenage lines had disappeared and the aura abo
“I was just showing him around.” I smiled as I reached her. She smiled nodding her head.“Where is he going?” Mother asked seeing Erdem leave.“He said he had some business to attend to.” I said glancing back. “Got everything you needed?” I asked and she looked at her basket.“I need a few more things.”“Let’s go then.” I smiled walking beside her.“You know, I was furious at first.” Mother spoke as she looked through the pile of apricots. I stared at her as she spoke. “At Erdem. I was furious but after talking to him, I think he is a decent guy.”I shook my head looking down at the fruits in front. “You think?” She nodded as she took the apricots and handed the shopkeeper the money.“Your father thinks so too.”“Does he know?” I asked as we walked away from the shop.“You know I don’t hide anything from your father.”“How did he take it?”“He was absolutely livid and was ready to attack him. But later he calmed down as always. After we talked, he understood that this is your battle.
The sky that day was a canvas of darkness. Not a single ray of sun had peaked through as I stood in front of the temple of the deity staring at my mother’s lifeless face for one last time. My eyes searched for hers, to see them one last time. I wanted her to look at me with those warm eyes one more time. I wanted her to tell me how much she adored me. I-I wanted to tell her how much I loved her. My gaze shifted from her face to the marble statue of the deity behind her. I stepped back as the wolves came forward to convey their respect to her. They filled her with her favourite flowers, the things she adored and their love.That day, when they took her to the grave she would be laid, I wasn’t there, when they buried her, I wasn’t there, when they held the ceremony to say goodbye, I wasn’t there. All that was in front of my eyes were those bloodshot eyes, all I could feel was the guilt. I couldn’t do anything; I did nothing to help her. All I did was watch, I only watched as that guy ki
I ran to him, snatching the pendent from his hand. My eyes wavered as I stared down at the pendant for any visible damage. When I detected none, I clutched the pendant tight pressing it against my forehead.“Thank you.” I opened my eyes. “Where did you find it?”“Don’t thank me,” Ciro shook his head. “I didn’t find it.”“Then how did you get it?” I asked scrunching my brows.“Erdem gave it to me.” Just by the look of his eyes, I knew he was speaking the truth. But why did he have it! How did he get it!“What? How did he get it?” I spoke my mind. “Or is it one of his tricks to try to show me he cares or whatever!”“What are you talking about?” He sounded confused.“I wouldn’t be surprised if he took it on purpose and now is trying to play the hero!” I growled. “He is such a cunning wolf!”“Nesta! How can you say that!”I stared up at him in confusion. “What? Can’t I say that I don’t trust a male like him anymore?”“Please elaborate on what you mean by a male like him.” I think I heard
“I miss her,” I sniffed as I finally started calming down after crying for who knows how long. “I miss her so much. Why did she have to go away so suddenly!”“I miss her too. Every day, every night. I miss her with every breath I take. But everybody has to leave one day, and your mother left a little early.” I looked up and he offered me a glum smile.“But I know she would want us to live on. Happily, in peace. But that doesn’t mean we won’t miss her.” I looked down wiping my eyes with the back of my hand.“What about you, father?” I asked in a low voice.He sighed and his eyes fixated on her picture. “She is in everything I am. And trying to accept the reality that she is gone feels like I’m trying to swallow burning lava. But I know, eventually, I will accept the fact. I will try and eventually get used to living in a world where she doesn’t exist.” He smiled woefully at the picture. “We lived a happy and good life. Filled with love, happiness, and blessings. She built me from somet
“Where?” He asked. And I looked up at him with a gentle smile. “To a place I hold dear.” I quietly replied and his eyes widened a little in surprise. But the surprise was replaced with something I couldn’t understand. “Lead the way.” He said and I nodded heading towards the forest. This pack is filled with lakes, flower fields, and wild yet gentle animals and is blessed with fertility. I love every bit of it, yet this little piece of land, I and Ciro had found back when we were merely kids, is very close to my heart. I walked down the narrow path through the woods, feeling the soft moss under my feet. The trees were tall and ancient, their leaves whispered in the breeze. Erdem silently followed me and when we finally reached the clearing, I glanced at him to witness his reaction. Even though he always masks his emotions, he couldn’t hide his amazement from me. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath. This hidden place was filled with wildflowers, trees and so much more. The flowers w
The manor, a testament to human artistry and nature's beauty, stood proudly nestled within the lush forest. Its exterior exuded an aura of stately charm, seamlessly blending with the landscape. The foundation and lower levels showcased sturdy, weathered stones, grounding the manor with enduring strength. As the eye travelled upward, the warm hues of polished wood adorned the upper levels, infusing a touch of refinement and luxury into its grand façade. The moonlight gracefully danced upon the textured surfaces, casting a mesmerizing glow that highlighted the intricate craftsmanship.Tall and proud, the windows punctuated the manor's exterior like watchful sentinels, their panes revealing glimpses of the warm light emanating from within. Delicate lace curtains, stirred by the night breeze, whispered secrets and enticed us to venture closer, promising mysteries to be uncovered within those hallowed halls.Surrounded by a carpet of emerald foliage, the manor seamlessly merged with its na
As the night deepened, the celebration took on a life of its own. The wolves joined hands, encircling a central bonfire, its flames casting a warm glow upon us all. Erdem offered me his hand and I gladly took it as we danced around the mighty fire. The wolves with their other halves joined in, swaying to the melody. We moved to the music, our bodies swaying in unison, a collective expression of gratitude and reverence for the cycle of life. I could look away from his majestic blues as they were fixated on me, a gentle smile adorned his beautiful face as he led us through the dance. In the middle of the dance, Ezio ran to us, freeing himself from his uncle, Anxo’s arms. Erdem bent down picking him up and with Ezio between us, he continued to lead us through the dance. The biggest smile adorned Ezio’s glowing face and the melodious sound of Erdem’s laughter filled the air. In the arm of my males, I was overwhelmed with gratitude and my heart was filled to the brim with love.After the d
As the sun began its descent, casting an ethereal golden glow across the forest, I found myself standing beside my male at the edge of a circular clearing. Our wolves, dressed in traditional attire adorned with intricate floral patterns, surrounded us. The air was alive with anticipation as the beats of drums and the melodious tunes of instruments filled my ears, transporting me to a realm where nature and magic converged.The rhythmic drumbeats quickened, pulling me into a trance-like state. My senses heightened as I observed the wolves gracefully swaying and twirling, their movements mirroring the very essence of the blossoming flowers and ancient trees. I too joined them, leading them as each and every step of us carried the weight of centuries, invoking the spirit of renewal that springs a sacred ritual to invoke growth and fertility. The energy in the clearing shifted, and a sense of reverence settled upon us. We formed a large circle, interlocking hands and hearts, as one of the
"What's going through your head, my love?" he whispered, his voice laced with a potent mix of growing arousal and anticipation. His fingers pinched my already sensitive nipple, causing a delightful mewl to escape my lips."Stop doing that," I managed to breathe out, my voice trembling, as his sweet torture on my breasts continued."Why?" he whispered, his warm breath grazing my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine."B-Because..." I struggled to complete my sentence, my thoughts scattered, as his hand ventured south, gliding over my dampening pussy, igniting a fierce fire within me."Fuck," he groaned. I could feel his cock rising to its glorious height, pressing tantalizingly against the curve of my back. And needless to say, we were dreadfully late for breakfast.The spring festival was on the verge of commencing, with the afternoon sun lazily sinking towards the horizon. Time was slipping away rapidly, leaving me with just a few precious hours to ensure that everything was perfect
"Shush," Erdem's voice, hoarse with desire, whispered urgently as his palm clamped over my mouth, attempting to stifle the shameless moans of pleasure that escaped my lips. With each deliberate, slow thrust, he ignited a fire within me, his sensual movements shaking my very core. I could feel his deliciously hard cock swelling inside my dripping, aching cunt, signalling his impending release.His tongue traced a scorching path along the fragile skin of my slender collarbone, trailing upward until it reached the tender expanse of my bruised neck, adorned with the vivid marks of his passionate love bites.“Nesta!” The way he uttered my name, dripping with a throaty, sonorous arousal, caused my pussy walls to clench tightly around his throbbing cock. With a primal grunt, he thrust himself deeper. My quivering legs, wrapped around his waist, instinctively pulled him closer, craving every inch of him. A bead of his sweat trailed down his scorching flesh, teasingly finding its way to my exp
He thrusted into me relentlessly, a powerful rhythm that shook me to my core. One of his hands tangled firmly in my hair, exerting delicious pressure that amplified the sensations. His teeth grazed along the sensitive skin of my neck, leaving a trail of electric anticipation in their wake. With possessive determination, he marked his territory, a tangible reminder of our shared primal connection.The force of his thrusts was both unyielding and controlled, an intoxicating blend that left me craving more. There was no gentleness in his actions, but I knew he had yet to unveil the full extent of his prowess. The hand that gripped my hair gradually travelled downward, igniting a frenzy of anticipation. When his skilled fingers found my sensitive bud, my sanity teetered on the edge, and I was lost to the depths of pleasure. A guttural moan escaped my lips, desperate gasps for air punctuating each exhilarating stroke and tantalizing circle he drew upon my pulsating clit.With every thrust,
A breathy moan escaped my agape mouth as I watched him feast on my soaking core. His mouth lapped on my core expertly. The tip of his tongue teased my already swollen and throbbing bud. He moved slow, his tongue going up and down. When he started sucking my swollen bud, the tip of his tongue going up and down, my eyes rolled back. My back arched involuntarily as I closed my eyes, the sound of my moans and the sinful sound of him lapping on my wetness filled the room.He bit down making me gasp out and as I looked down his warning eyes were fixated on my face. With both his hand, he had my legs spread and he went on with his feast. As he continued his ravage, I could feel the knot building in the pit of my stomach. Leisurely but firmly he fucked my pussy with his tongue while I ground myself against his thirsty mouth. The feeling was pure euphoria, yet I craved more. I wanted all of him.“Erdem!” I brazenly moaned stirring my pussy further into his lapping mouth as I felt myself tippin
My lungs greedily filled with oxygen, but the respite was fleeting as his lips crashed against mine once more. Our mouths fused together in a feverish dance, tongues entwining, each kiss an inferno that threatened to consume us both. Lost in his intoxicating trance, I could feel the throb between my legs intensify, a relentless ache that demanded attention, driving me to the brink of madness.A plaintive whine escaped my lips, a primal plea for some form of release from the searing desire that coursed through me. Erdem, ever attuned to my needs, responded with a swift and primal action. His hand, once resting on the table's surface, abruptly shifted, landing possessively on my bare thigh. Fingers dug into my flesh, a delicious mix of pain and pleasure, drawing a desperate mewl from deep within me. His mouth, ravenous and hungry, devoured the sound, capturing it with a possessiveness that mirrored the hunger within us both.“Where should we take this?” He breathlessly asked as we pulle
I entered the grand hall, my heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and nervousness, my hand securely wrapped around Erdem's arm. The weight of our precious bundle, Ezio, nestled in his father's embrace, added to the warmth and love that radiated between us. All eyes turned toward us, the spotlight shining on our new family as we stepped into the limelight.As we made our entrance, smiles began to spread across the faces of the crowd like ripples in a calm lake. The air buzzed with anticipation and joy, their eyes welcoming us into their embrace. It was a moment of pure bliss, feeling the acceptance and happiness emanating from those around us.Just as we were beginning to settle into this newfound sense of belonging, Ciro appeared, his Luna in tow. A rush of familiarity and comfort washed over me as Ciro approached, a beaming smile on his face. We embraced tightly, the years of separation instantly fading away, replaced by the unbreakable bond of friendship. Ciro congratulated Erd
