RISSA’S POVIf you had asked me earlier what I’d be doing later in the evening, I’m pretty sure raped, chased around naked, and hunted by an angry wolf mob wouldn’t even make it to the list.I have been living as a rogue in that shack for some years now. Although my life did not necessarily have a direction, at least I had a routine that I’d gotten used to and a goal of finding my mother, and it gave my life a small sense of purpose.As we fled for our lives, I looked back at my shack as it was being invaded by those wolves, and I immediately knew that my situation had just graduated from bad to worse, and my life would never be the same. All thanks to this asshole who I’m escaping with. I still can’t believe I’m on the same team with the idiot who’s responsible for all this.As soon as we crawled a safe distance away from the shack, we picked up the pace and took to our heels, knowing that the angry mob would continue their pursuit once they searched and realized we were no longer in
RISSA’S POVIn the morning...I woke up feeling a bit disoriented. I guess waking up on the cold floor in the middle of nowhere for the first time in a long while felt strange, because it had been a long time since I slept without a roof over my head.Waking up to that scenery made my memories flash back to the times when my mom and I had just left the city and were newly homeless.Those were very tough times, but my mom struggled very hard to make sure we survived, and I’ll be eternally grateful to her for her strength.Unfortunately, I’m back to being homeless. Thanks to that maniac.Shit!What the fuck is wrong with me? I just remembered that I promised myself not to blame Drax entirely for the situation we’re currently in after hearing his apology yesterday. It wasn’t intentional. And besides, he tried to make things right by not letting me be captured by those hunters.It’s safe to say that there was no harm intended. The problem is, I have my own issues to deal with, and now I h
DRAX’S POVFor the first time since I became a fugitive and was being hunted, I actually had a plan.Prior to now, I had no bearing, no direction, no destination, no will to live. I was just a lost soul, wandering the forest alone. To be honest, I was on the verge of death. I had even contemplated suicide, but I have a feeling that any attempt I made to take my life would just result in my wolf emerging with fury to cause havoc.Even if it wasn’t intentional, sometimes I’m low-key grateful that Rissa got dragged into all of this. Because the only thing that keeps me going right now is my promise to keep her safe.I’m pretty sure I would have given up long ago if the only thing at stake was my life. But because someone else is involved, I can’t give up. I can’t afford to have more blood on my hands.Although she’s annoying as hell, I have to make sure she stays alive. Or at least she doesn’t die because of me. My conscience wouldn’t be able to handle that.I still haven’t forgiven myse
In a split-second after stepping on a snare, I was hoisted up into the air, under a tree. The shock and discomfort I felt from being pulled up made my wolf vexed. Suddenly my bones reshaped, my wolf’s silver hair popped up from under my skin, and my fingers turned to claws.“Run! Get out of here.” I yelled at Rissa as I struggled with the pain I was getting from trying to prevent myself from shifting.Thankfully, Rissa was a few feet behind me when I stepped into the trap. Else, the both of us would have been stuck together in that trap, mid-air.In a matter of seconds, I had completely shifted into my big wolf.‘What the hell is she still doing there?’ I said in my mind. Then I realized that I could still see Rissa from my wolf’s eyes, even though I was trapped inside my wolf’s body. It wasn’t like this before.Obviously, some things were changing in terms of my human-wolf interaction. Before now, whenever my wolf sprung up, I would be totally oblivious to what was happening. Impriso
RUSSIA’S POVI’m furious.How could he treat me that way? Do I look like a soldier to him? I have been running for three days now, and I’ve not even had any proper food to eat. I was so tired and my legs were so swollen, and he had the guts to push me into the river. That’s definitely not how to treat a lady.He’s lucky we made it out of that river alive, else I would have killed him.After walking for hours to try to find a comfortable place to crash for the night, Drax ended it all by stepping into a trap. I would normally say it serves him right, and that’s what he gets for mistreating a lady, but his predicament affected the both of us, so I let it slide.We couldn’t get him out of the trap—even though he shifted, and his wolf tried to break free—so we had no option but to crash there for the night. Then the next morning, I had to go and find some food for the both of us. It made me more furious, but I had to hold it in because I still needed him on this trip.A little while after
RISSA’S POVWe walked for hours before finally reaching the rogues’ hideout. To be honest, this journey has had a real toll on my feet. At one point, I started wishing there were buses running in the forest. The rogues’ hideout was a cave. There were some personal belongings around the mouth of the cave, showing that there were people living there. “Chain them to the wall.” Ryker ordered.They took us into the cave, and although it was relatively small, it wasn’t entirely dark. Courtesy of the small ray of sunlight coming in through a hole at the other end of the cave.The Iron hooks pinned to the wall, and the big chains on the floor made me to realize that it probably wasn’t the first time they’d kept prisoners here. The chains looked like they had been used a lot, and that information did not sit well with me at all. It gave me goosebumps.What that meant was that Ryker’s threat may not have been entirely a bluff. If they’ve had prisoners here before, it means they definitely had
DRAX’S POVI really thought my wolf would spring up after receiving that hell of a beating from those damn rogues. Surprisingly, he didn’t show up. But I’m very sure he was on the verge of coming out, because I felt really tensed up. I had to try as much as possible to relax and keep myself calm after all that beating, for me not to shift involuntarily. That was why I lowered my head in silence while Rissa was busy interrogating Chad.I was doing breathing exercises and clearing out my head in a bid to lower my blood pressure.In a short while, after Rissa had finished playing her mind games on Chad without any success, Chad left the cave, leaving just the two of us chained inside. The sky had gone dark already, and I began to feel a strange sensation in my mind, like there was another presence inside of me. The feeling wasn’t entirely new, though. It was the same feeling I got right before hearing my wolf’s voice the other night.“Drax!” the familiar voice called inside my head. Imm
RISSA’S POVThe night went by like a hit summer breeze. It definitely wasn’t one of my best nights.I was chained to the wall with cold, hard iron chains. My wrists hurt like hell. The floor was cold and hard. Discomfort was my pillow. My entire body ached like I was trampled on by a thousand elephants.I opened my eyes, and the morning brightness made me squint. The environment was quiet and serene. I looked to my right and noticed Drax hadn’t woken up yet. His head was bowed, and his glistening dark hair covered his eyes.“Drax!” I called to him in a whisper. “Drax!!” I called again.He raised his head slowly, revealing his bloodshot eyes. His face was all sweaty, and you could tell that he had been crying.“Are you alright?” I asked him, feeling concerned. He wasn’t like this last night. The last time we spoke, he said he was hearing voices in his head.Is this a side effect of the voices he heard last night? I was confused.“Talk to me Drax. You’re making me scared. What’s wrong?”
Drax laughed, trying to steady himself on his feet. He wraps his hands around her curvy ass to hold her weight. The cool breeze brushes against their faces, making their hair flow in the wind’s direction. Rissa kisses him twice, on his forehead and on his lips. “I love you.” She says, with a smile. Drax blushed. “I love you more.” then he returns the kiss. She rests her head in the crook of his neck like a baby, and Drax carries her inside the building. As they reach the living room, he drops her on her feet, and they stare into each other’s eyes for a long minute. Drax raises his hand and caresses her cheek. Rissa leans forward and gives him a short, wet kiss. They pause for a moment, gazing into each other’s soul, then they draw closer and suck each other’s lips off. Drax nibbles on her upper lip, while Rissa plays with his lower lip. They kiss for a long time, then she feels his boner on her thigh. She purrs into his mouth. Eyes hooded, heavy breaths, he runs his hands over he
“Yes, Drax, I have feelings for you. I know it’s stupid and all, but you’ve just been so nice to me since we met. That's possibly why I got carried away. I don’t know what happened. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have taken the job. I’m sorry.”Drax’s brows furrowed. “Woah woah woah...” he interrupted. “Why are you apologizing? It’s only natural to have feelings for people you like. That’s why it’s called ‘falling in love’ You never have control over it. It just happens spontaneously.”“... and it’s a good thing, because I also have a confession too. I have had deep feelings for you from the first day I met you, Rissa.”He leaned forward and held her arms. “That day at the restaurant, I felt like I saw an angel. Your beauty, your humility. You got slapped, and you didn’t even retaliate. That’s all I’ve ever wanted in a woman. I feel at peace whenever I'm with you.“That day we had dinner at the restaurant. My plan was to ask you to be my girlfriend, but when you said you were still hu
She was getting herself into something she would regret. Getting intimate with her boss like this. And to make matters worse, it was without his consent.But he was actively engaged in the process... Her mind tried its best to justify her actions in order to escape the guilt. She sighed.Unfortunately, no matter how much she tried to tell herself that he also wanted it, the truth was that he was high and intoxicated.For all she knew, he didn’t even know where he was and he might not even remember a thing from this night by tomorrow morning.Wrapping her hands around his neck, she closed her eyes and buried her face in the curve of his shoulder and hugged him. She felt so good. She wanted it to last forever.“Thank you for everything.” She whispered under her breath.As much as she would have loved to continue being with him, she had to face the fact...He was way out of her league. And even if by some miracle, he somehow decides that he wanted to be with her, how can she be sure it’l
She was so excited; she made some cookies, put them in a basket and brought them to her colleagues at work almost every day. They loved her more for it.Her intention of avoiding Drax was easy for her so far, because he had gone on a business trip with his dad for a few days now. It was serene for her. No hiding behind the counters. No scanning along the hallway before coming out of her office...On Thursday morning, she came to work as usual and distributed some cookies she made around the office.When she finished distributing the cookies to those who cared, there were still a few left in the basket, so she took them and headed to her office.She was about to open the door when she heard a familiar deep masculine voice behind her.“You didn’t save any for me?”She turned around and saw Drax standing behind her with a big grin plastered on his face.Torn between two emotions, she managed to force a smile on her face.She couldn’t decide if she was happy to see him, or if she was sad
DRAX'S POVThe feeling was just so extra-ordinary. Captivated by the deep clouds of ecstasy they created. Lost in the void of erotic euphoria. Trapped in the prisons of blissful lust.Their tongues wriggled in each other's mouth, seeking for dominance, as their lips softly crushed against each other.Unfortunately, their trip to cloud nine was cut short by a knock on the door. "Hellooo...." Liam knocked twice before wrenching the door handle open, and walking in on the two love birds making out."grrrrr..." Liam grunted. "Here we go again." he facepalmed.They broke their kiss abruptly, and smoothened the invisible wrinkles on their clothes."Couldn't you at least allow her some time to remember what the world looks like, before sticking your tongue down her throat?" he grabbed a chair by the corner and sat down."So, Lily... How was coma?" Liam asked with a big grin across his face.Lily's brows furrowed. "I dunno... what's it supposed to be like?" She shrugged."Well, I was hoping i
RISSA'S POVShe quickly got dressed, got in her car, and drove downtown to the address. The building looked like a large warehouse from the outside view, but on the inside, it was renovated into a fortress. The surroundings of the warehouse was bushy, so area with quiet with no private houses around.When she arrived at the address, she called Jeff to inform him, and in a couple of minutes, he came out.He walked towards the car while she opened the door and stepped out."What's this place?" she asked after closing the door."It's one of our hideouts." He replied as they took some steps forwards.Rose's face contorted in a mild shock. "Why does the sign say it's a warehouse for diapers?" she pointed at the big signpost in front of the building.Jeff chuckled. "It's just camouflage...but on the inside, it's one of our biggest meth labs." He explained. "When we get in, you'll see.""So, what exactly does my father do?...I mean... what's the job description?""Okay..." he started. "In th
BILLY'S POV“So, how was your first day of representing your father in the business?” Jeff asked her while he removed the strap of the gun from over his shoulder and placed the gun on the table.“Um, it was good. Just that I didn’t expect that there’ll be so much people and so many guns.” She replied.Lily had not mentioned that Mr Clark was still in a coma and that he was not aware that she was representing him during the transaction.“Yeah... transactions like these could get really rough. Most of our clients are top mafias in this city. Some of them own the biggest pubs, hotels, clubs and things like that.” Jeff explained.“Oscar, get these guns into the car and get the cars ready.” He ordered one of the men standing by the side.“Sometimes, there could be a misunderstanding, and we may end up having a shootout. In cases like that, the last group standing wins and takes it all.” Jeff continued.They both strolled towards the building’s exit as they talked.“How long have you been w
DRAX'S POVThe best thing that has happened to me in the last two days is finding out that my wolf didn’t kill Rissa.After seeing her being molested by three dudes, I was angry, but I guess I must have been a bit aroused too, causing my wolf to spring up and attack.I had expected that my wolf would attack everyone as usual. Without any intention of leaving survivors.But surprisingly, he stopped in front of Rissa and allowed me to shift back into my human form before something bloody happened.What exactly is going on? I have never been able to shift back at will ever since my wolf became untameable. I was so surprised. I’m pretty sure I acted like a kid who just received a Christmas present.What exactly is happening? I asked in my head, scanning all over Rissa’s body to find any scars that might have been caused by my big bad wolf. There wasn’t any.She was trembling all over, though. I guess she was still traumatized by everything that had happened to her that night. Of which I a
LILY'S POVShe stood up slowly and left Arthur’s presence in a speed walk. Then she went to the hospital’s front desk and met the receptionist. “Hi. Please, I’m trying to find my friends’ room. Her name is Aria.”“Aria Who?” the receptionist asked.Amelia, after thinking and not knowing her surname, came up with a lie. “Um, I don’t think I can remember her surname. She’s a new colleague at work. I think she had a gunshot wound...”“Oh, let me see.” the receptionist brought out a big log book. “Okay, Aria Adams. She’s in room 306. 3rd floor.” She said.“Okay. Thank you very much.” She smiled and left.She took the elevator, and in less than a minute she was standing in front of room 306.She peeked in through the window and saw the room was empty, except for Aria lying comatose on the bed.She snuck in, and while her heart pounded in fear for what she was about to do, she had no option. She just had to do it. Her life depended on it.Everywhere was quiet. Except for the periodic beepin
