Two hours later, I sit in Kelly’s living room, staring at the television, as I wonder where in the hell Alexander is. “Where could he be?” I murmur under my breath as I nurse one killer of a headache and try my best to not throw up. While holding my stomach, I hear a knock at the door. “Finally.” I state out loud as my voice echoes throughout the empty room.Standing up quickly, I push the off button on the remote and then place it on the glass coffee table before I hurry to the door with my purse. On the way, I pass the hall mirror and catch a glimpse of my haggard appearance. “Boy, I need to get some sleep.” I whisper under my breath before reaching the door.Wrapping my slender fingers around the cold, brass knob, I turn it only to find Alexander standing in front of the door with a somber look on those handsome lips of his and his head hung down low. As he glances up at me, I notice that his eyes are hooded as if he isn’t proud of something he has done. So, I venture to ask
Glancing out the window at the sun as it begins to set, I watch the golden tinged treetops glow against the blue of the clear sky, before the sun all but disappears behind the tree line. It was a long, but beautiful day, as I walked around the village alone and ate in the diner without Alexander at my side. As I did, everyone stared at me, but didn’t dare approach me. Instead, they looked on with smiles on their faces. By the time I heard Alexander open the door behind me, I had already made up my mind to be mad at him no matter what he said his excuse was. So, when he mutters softly, “Oh jeez. I completely forgot.” and runs his hand through his thick hair, I roll my eyes and return my attention to the woods around the house.As I hear him walk up behind me, he puts a hand gently on my shoulder. Pausing, he sighs and then leans down to butter me up by kissing my neck and then whispering in my ear, “I’m sorry. I had to take care of business.”Shrugging his hand off my shoulder
“Did he mention what it could possibly be?” Alexander asks me curiously before waiting patiently for my answer.Silence falls across the room as I mull over what to say to him. Shall I tell him what Jeffery thinks it may be? Or should I wait because if I am not pregnant, it might do more harm than good. I could just see him getting excited at the prospect of having babies, only to have him become sullen when he finds out that we won’t be expecting any. Even worse, if his brother has poisoned me, will he kill him?Not wishing to think about either choice right now, I finally shrug my shoulders, and then say slowly in a whisper, “He has a few theories, but we shouldn’t discuss this until the test results come back. I wouldn’t want you to get upset until we know for sure.”Realizing I had already said too much, I watch him stand up and start to pace. It has been about an hour since the doctor left and took his samples with him. Just before he shut the door behind him, Jeffery shou
"Anastasia, how do you do it?" Kelly asks curiously while holding up the skimpy little crimson colored dress I am about to wear for our little night out.Smirking, I laugh and then reply sarcastically with a twinkle in my eyes as I look in the mirror, “I simply don’t put on anything else and then I slide it up my long legs.”Reaching over and smacking me on the shoulder, she laughs and then sticks her tongue out before handing it to me. “Yeah, yeah. Smart mouth. I bet you won’t have such a smart mouth later when you have some guy’s dick crammed in it.” She states in a matter-of-fact tone of voice as she walks to the door.Glancing back at me, she adds softly with a big smile on her face, “By the way, you might want to hurry. We leave in five because I want to get there before we can’t find a table.”As she flutters her eyes flirtingly at me, she blows me a kiss and then walks out. Turning around to face the mirror again, I stare at my reflection quickly and I could swear that I s
Feeling deflated, I wonder why Kelly keeps staring behind me, until I hear his voice again. This time he is much more civil as he asks politely, “Can I get the two of you anything? I am sorry about before. You have a way of getting under my skin and I don’t know anyone else capable of that.”When our eyes meet again, I notice that he is staring down at me with hunger in his eyes. Is that what I saw before? No, I don’t think so. Perhaps he thinks I am a prize for him to win. With this in mind, I raise an eyebrow and say seductively while running my first finger over my lower lip and keeping eye contact with him, “If you really want to know, you can bring me a Sex on The Beach.”Right afterwards, Kelly chimes in happily while practically jumping up and down, “Oh, I want a strawberry Margarita, please.” while smiling as if she knows something I don’t know.Cocking my head, a smirk plays on my lips as I begin to wonder if the two of them know each other. Poking her in the ribs pla
Cocking his head, he glares down into my eyes as he growls at me, demanding loudly, “You will go with me now!”When he grabs my arm violently, I jerk it away before stating loudly in his face, “I think not! If I wasn’t going to leave with you before, what makes you think that I would now that you are acting all caveman? I don’t take kindly to being thrown around.”Scowling at him now, I quickly look from Kelly to Jonathan for help, only to realize that Jonathan has a smile on his face and seems to think the whole thing is funny. “Look at the two of you. Already acting like you are hitched.” He states as he begins to laugh.Thinking that this is immensely funny, he keeps laughing as Kelly begins to rub the back of her neck and then asks softly, “Ana, do you want to go with him? If so, I will be alright here. Jonathan will be here.”Leaning in close to Kelly, I give her an all too knowing look and then whisper in her ear, “Hell no. This man puts me on edge and there is something
Realizing that this is a precarious situation, I hesitate because if he takes me home and he is looking to kill me, it would be a perfect opportunity. However, I need a change of clothes and am very curious about his situation. “How did he become a werewolf? Why doesn’t anyone know about them?” A thousand questions begin to run rampant through my head but those stick out like sore thumbs over all the others.“Sure. It isn’t like I can go back into the club like I am anyway.” I state letting my curiosity get the better of me.Nodding, he replies flatly as he begins running his fingers through his gorgeous dark brown hair, “Now, about that. I never intended for any of this to happen, but when I laid eyes on you, I knew that the goddess Luna intended for you to be my mate. For some reason she has deemed that I mate with a human which is a very strange thing indeed. There has only been one other time that a human and werewolf were fated mates.”“How do you know that we are mates,
“Here in lies the problem. If I take you home now before I tell you everything, you may say something to someone else and then they will surely think you are crazy. Even worse, if they believe you, I will be forced to kill them because we can’t have humans knowing that we really exist.” He says flatly as he stares me down.Returning to the driver’s seat after shutting my door, he glares at me as if I am a small child who has just gotten in trouble. “Then what now?” I ask snidely as I try to keep my composure.“Well, you can stay seated and shut up for two seconds so I can tell you.” He barks at me as I look out the window impatiently.“Fine.” I yell while folding my arms around my chest and sitting there as quietly as I can. The last thing I need is to fall for him with his overbearing bad attitude. He is gruff and yet so appealing to me as I sit there, doing my best not to want him to fill me again. After all, he thinks of me merely as an object to carry his pups, not as som

Ten minutes later, she walks out of the bathroom with a frown on her face, but she isn’t crying so I am completely confused. “Is it positive or not?” I hesitate to ask her, but in the end, I just spit it out quickly.Frowning at me, she replies softly, “It is negative, but while I was sitting in the bathroom, I began to get excited at the idea of having a baby growing in me. Something to love and to take care of that would be my very own. Now, I am beginning to wish that it was positive and almost cried when I saw that it was not. Is there something wrong with me?”As she asks me this, I watch as tears form in the corners of her eyes and then they begin to cascade down her cheeks like mini waterfalls. Coming to her rescue, I wrap my arms around her and let her cry on my shoulder for what seems like forever. When I hear her gentle snoring on my shoulder about 15 minutes later, I begin to giggle before cutting it short because it appears that she has fallen asleep on me. “Wow. N
After knocking loudly on Kelly’s door for a minute straight, she finally opens hesitantly while looking like she has been crying for quite some time. “I didn’t think you would come.” She murmurs under her breath as she looks up at me with tears in her eyes.“Is she alright?” Alexander asks thoughtfully from behind me and then as soon as he sees the tears he adds, “Let me know when you want to be picked up.”Looking up at him, I state flatly, “I will stay the night here and text you in the morning when I am ready.”Nodding, he seems to completely understand and heads back to the car. When I walk inside, I watch him leave before I shut the door and return my attention to Kelly who is standing there with tears cascading down her cheeks. As I wrap my arms around her, she lays her head on my shoulder and then says softly between crying spurts, “I don’t know what to do.”“Well, first of all, you need to take a test and find out for sure if you are or not.” I state calmly while trying to
Once I pull on a steel grey, chenille over-sized sweater and a pair of faded blue jeans, I walk down the stairs and find the study. As I raise my hand to knock, I hear a young woman’s voice coming from inside, saying softly, “Oh Alpha, it was nothing. I just figured since the two of you were settling in, I would provide you with some snacks for the evening. I do hope that she satisfies you in every way possible.”Putting my ear to the door, I listen more carefully because now this conversation has my full attention. Not only am I a little upset that this woman is alone with my man, but she seems to be trying to warm up to him so she can get in his bed as well.“Jessica, thank you very much for all that you have done, but I assure you we are fine, and it is none of your business in any event. I think you should leave now.” Alexander says as his deep, booming voice echoes through the heavy hard wood.Hearing footsteps walk towards the door, I quickly back up and scan the room frant
As soon as I step foot in the door, I turn around and glance up at Alexander’s face to see an incredible sorrow in his eyes. It almost stops me from saying what I am about to, but not quite. There is one thing that I cannot do for the moment, and I intend on telling him right now before it is too late. “Alexander.” I say abruptly before he wraps his arms tightly around me and devours my mouth hungrily.The warmth of his embrace and the soft kiss of his lips, makes me forget that I need to tell him I can’t get pregnant right now. Instead, I melt in his arms as I return his hot kisses. When he leaves my lips to kiss the crook in my neck, I shiver in anticipation because I long to feel his touch again, even though it has only been a short time since we have made love.It is truly amazing that even though we have known each other for such a short time, I am already longing for him in every way possible. In a way, I am not surprised one bit though, because he demands everything, but
As we walk out the door, I find myself wondering if he is still holding a grudge or if he can merely flip a switch to become an asshole willingly. “Are you coming or not?” He asks gruffly before continuing to the big building with lots of cars parked out front.Assuming that this is where we are about to eat, I nod, and then sigh as he opens the door forcefully and I see about 25 people at various tables around the room. Apparently, this is a restaurant and everyone else is already eating. When they glance up from their plates, they smile and nod at Alexander before he waves them off and continues to an empty table at the front of the room.While looking around at each one of them, I think that it is strange that they are all dressed to the t’s in their beautiful, colorful dresses and dress suits. “Surely, they don’t always dress this way for dinner, do they?” I whisper right next to Alexander as he holds the chair out for me to sit down.Smiling, he shakes his head subtly before
After hours of love making, I collapse on the bed from pure exhaustion. Turning over, I stare at him sleepily with half closed lids and smile because I feel completely fulfilled. This man-beast seems to know exactly what my body wants and when as he scratches my itch at just the right time, every time.With his back turned to me, I run my forefinger down the curve in his back as the spine dips and then ends. When my stomach begins to growl, he turns over and laughs before asking sweetly, “Would you care for some dinner? I do believe it is time.”As a smile spreads across my lips, I sit up quickly and state, “Of course. That would be wonderful.”Feeling the bed dip, I watch as he stands up and then I follow him. After grabbing my clothes, I turn to head towards the bathroom before he states unexpectedly, “By the way, I had bought you some clothes. They are in the closet. Go check if there is something you might want to wear to dinner tonight.”Pleasantly surprised, I smile befo
