" Yes," He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked ass again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy. " Will you do it again?" " No," " No, what?" " No, Sir," " Good girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly. " Now, I'm going to fuck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them. " You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure. " Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic. " Please," I beg. I want him- I need it so badly. " So, how would you like to come, baby?" he whispers. Oh, goddess!
View MoreMy whole life has been harsh. I have no purpose but to serve my pack, who constantly abuse me because they blame me for the death of my mother, the pack's beloved Luna Harper.
My father, alpha Thomas Aeson, and brother, Duncan, don't care about me anymore. They don't defend me from the bullies. I cook and clean; on top of that, I'm their punching bag. I've been abused verbally and physically by everyone who could. I don't always let them mistreat me; I fight back, but when I do, the punishments I receive are harsher. My name is Apphia Aeson. I'm seventeen years old. I belong to the werewolf pack called Ivory Moon pack. I haven't shifted yet, so everyone is stronger than I am "Apphia!" I shudder when I hear the voice that calls me. He walks in with angry-filled eyes on me. He approaches me and slaps me across the face. I fall to the ground. "Where the fuck were you?" he roars. I shut my eyes, waiting for the burn on my cheek to dissipate. "I was- doing my assignment," I say, pointing towards my book on the table. He grabs my notebook from the table and tears it mercilessly. My eyes widen in horror. All my hard work is gone. "Why are you not in the kitchen making food?!" Food? The cook, Jeff, didn't give me the menu, nor did he call me. My father doesn't care as he slaps me again —blood splatters from my mouth. "Go to the kitchen!" he commands. I scurry away from his presence.My fingers touch the cameo purple necklace on my throat, the only thing my mother left me, as I recall the night that changed my life.
It was the night after my seventh birthday when mom woke me up in the middle of the night. She quickly changed me into a pair of jeans and a shirt. I was excited to leave the house with my mother because I thought we'd go on vacation like I'd been asking. However, my father and brother were nowhere to be seen once I reached the living room. "Is brother and Dad coming?" I asked, frowning. "It's just us for now, baby. You are in danger, and I need to take you away from the pack," she told me quietly. "Why am I in danger, Mommy?" Tears filled my eyes. "You wouldn't understand, but I will explain once we arrive in the Sapphire Royal pack. We need to speak to the King and Queen. They will keep you safe, baby," she told me gently. I couldn't comprehend anything she was saying. All I knew was that she was apprehensive, even more than usual. My mother was very protective of me; it made her paranoid. We left the house in haste and went to the car. As she drove fast, no guard was in sight, and my heart was pounding against my chest. I wish Dad were there, but Mom said it was safer. "They might come. I think he betrayed me, and that's why he was eager to have me take you from the pack on his own time," she murmured. I didn't understand what she was talking about. We'd not gotten far when our car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, refusing to start again. My mother looked back at me, her face filled with fear and tears. She exited the driver's seat and opened the backdoor to my side. She grabbed a pink bag I hadn't noticed and strapped it on my shoulders. "We have to run now, Apphia," Mom grabbed my small hand and started running. We ran so fast into the thick forest, away from the main tarmac. The wind blew harder, and the darkness grew. She carried me in her arms at one point because I was tired. And then I felt it: a dark shadow was coming for us, whispered taunting sounds. I cried louder as my mother ran faster. Her hands held me tighter. "I can't let them have you," she whispered, suddenly stopping and looking around momentarily. "There! You can hide in that opening of that tree," she pointed at the large tree with an opening. Mom took me there, and I sat, bringing my knees to my chest. I was terrified. She was, too. "Listen to Mommy, baby," She crouched and cradled my face warmly. Her big, bright silver eyes filled with tears. "I need you to stay quiet, Apphia, please. No matter what you see or hear, stay hidden and quiet," she whispered, placing a finger on her lips. I was sobbing for good. I vividly remember the fear I felt. It ran through my bones. "Don't leave me, Mommy. I'm scared," I cried. She took a deep breath and wiped away my tears from my cheeks. "I love you so much. Never forget it. Everything I did was to protect you, and I will do it again a hundred times if I have to. You are my everything," she kissed and embraced me. "I love you, Mommy," "Don't be too sad, baby; always trust yourself," she whispered. She gave me an encouraging smile before running in the opposite direction. I closed my eyes, praying to the moon goddess that Mom would return. She never did. The silence in the forest became suddenly heavy.My father and our warriors found me the following day, covered in blood, a few feet from my mother's lifeless body. I felt like I'd lost a magical light that would never touch my life again. I wasn't the same again. I had no recollection of what happened after my mother left me in that tree.
Everyone assumed I tried running away from home as I tended to do that, and she followed me, and feral rogues attacked us. Rogues are wolves that don't belong to a pack either because they don't have one due to different circumstances or because they were exiled from their packs for committing heinous crimes. No one wanted to hear what I had to say; they blamed and rejected me.Gavin's pov
My alpha and I have been away from the pack for over three months, helping one of our allies, the Moonshine Pack, with a rogue problem they have been facing. We were excited to return home tomorrow after winning the fight against the rogues this evening. My wolf, Jr, was howling in happiness. I knew why he was eager. He wanted to see his mate. Last year, I discovered that the alpha's unloved daughter, Apphia, was my mate, and I planned to reject her but never came around to do it. ' No, you can't reject her. The moon goddess gave her to us. She's our gift to treasure!' Jr growled. He was crazy about her. ' But she's the reason Luna Harper is dead. Everyone hates her, and my parents sure won't accept her because of it," I reasoned with him. My parents were close friends with our late Luna; mom hates Apphia and blames her like everyone else. ' No, she's not the reason. Everyone is a fool for blaming a child,' he retorts. I'm weary of arguing back and forth. Whatever, I wasn't going to accept our bond. I can't risk my positions as beta of the Ivory Moon Pack for her. Apphia Aeson is not worth it, yet I was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. I entered the guest room I had been staying in at the Moonshine packhouse and took a hot shower. I needed it after killing off those dirty rogues.After a few minutes, I got out with a towel wrapped around my waist. I wasn't surprised to find the beta's daughter, Tania, lying on my bed in sexy red lingerie. Her lust-filled eyes roamed over my body.
She has been coming to my room since my arrival, offering her body for my pleasure, and I didn't say no. How could I? Tania was pretty, with a curvaceous body that made me feel hard instantly. However, I found myself picturing my mate as I fucked her. Apphia was... exquisite. Her beauty differed from this world: sleek white hair, almond-shaped eyes that were clear like glass, and natural rosebud lips. She has a beautiful face that women would go to great lengths to acquire. " Are you going to stand there daydreaming, or will you fuck me, beta Gavin," the woman in my bed purrs. I shake my head, removing all unbidden thoughts of my mate as I crawl on my bed. I pull the woman towards me and discard the towel around my waist. I tear her lingerie and caress her pussy. " So wet. I like it," " Of course, beta. I'm always ready for you," she smiles salacious. I grab a condom from the bedside drawer and remove the foil, wrapping it around my dick. She scowls but doesn't complain. No way in hell I'm fucking her raw. I enter her with one thrust, and she screams my name. " Gavi!" I pound into her, wanting to get this over with. The beta's daughter is a whimpering mess. " Fuck, it's so good," I continue to fuck her hard. I feel her tighten around my cock as she reaches her orgasm with a long whimper. I continue chasing my own release. I thrust wildly and growl as I reach my peak, spilling my seeds in the condom. I pull out of her and get to my feet. I need to take another shower to rest well as I have a journey ahead tomorrow. Tania rolls out of bed, too, with a grin. Her fingers caress my sweaty chest. " That was fun, wasn't it?" she sighs, kissing my torso. I take a step back from her, " Hmm," " It doesn't have to end, you know. I can come with you to your pack and be your mate, beta Gavin," " I have a long journey ahead. I need my rest. Please leave," Tania gasps and glares at me. " But, but-" she stutters. " We fucked, that doesn't mean anything more. Shut the door behind you when you leave," I say, returning to the bathroom. " Fucking prick!" I hear her scream as I shut the bathroom door. Women are so complicated. It is why I haven't been dating. I was pleased to find she had left after I left the bathroom again. Now, I can rest. ' I can't wait to see my lovely mate tomorrow,' Jr says. I ignore him and close my eyes to get much-needed rest.A/N: Hello, thank you for opening this book. It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, as there are many graphic scenes of abuse, violence, strong language, erotic, etc., that might be a trigger for some. So, don't read this book if you are sensitive to that. It might feel too slow for some of you; if you feel that way, skip this book and exit peacefully. There is no need to leave snarky comments.
Jamila Maximus takes his hand back, and his gaze travels to the corner of the room, where my mate is standing alone, glaring at us. " He doesn't like me very much," Maximus whispers, and I chuckle, " Me either," I whisper, grinning as I look at my mate again. He is walking towards us, and I'm tempted to flee but remain standing. Before Nicholas can reach us, Lady Anaiah announces we should go to the dining room. The dining room is large enough to accommodate everyone. I sit next to Nicholas, who is at the head of the large table, and his father, who is taking the other. I'm a little nervous again because I can feel people's gazes on me. ' Drake, where is he?' my wolf asks. She's fond of the gamma even though he doesn't like us very much. I smile at Drake when our gaze meets across the table, but he doesn't smile back at me. I press my lips in a thin line, focusing on the variety of food before me. The red, curly-haired girl glares at me, but I ignore her. My hands are getting cla
NicholasMistress? Morgana wasn't my mistress. She does fulfill my desires, but they don't go beyond that. Jamila is determined not to attend my parents' dinner with me, and it's frustrating. I can smell her anger in the air. Why the fuck is she so mad at me. Could it be because of how I lost my shit when I saw the mark on her neck? I glare at the damn mark again, it's still there. "The dinner is in your honor," I tell her. " I don't want to be honored," she snaps. Oh, goddess. She's doing this on purpose. She stands, penetrating gaze through me and arms crossed against her chest. " Will you force me?" she challenges. I take a step towards her, towering over her. " You will attend the dinner with me, and that's an order," I command. Jamila scoffs and rolls her eyes, " Um, no thanks," No? I gave her an order, and she defied it. How was this possible? I'm her superior, yet it didn't affect her. Alpha couples can not command each other after completing the marking process. But wit
Nicholas' povJamila is angry. She's usually so smiley that it's annoying yet pleasant to witness, but now she is mad__ mad at me after she saw Morgana in my bedroom. Why would she be angry at that when I made it clear that I didn't want a mate or her around me? She has locked herself in the bedroom and refuses to eat. She actually thought I'd poison her. It had been a fucking damn week, and she still locked herself in. After my run with Shai, I watch her bedroom window for a while. MeowI look down at the feline. For some reason, she has been fascinated by the woman in that room. I couldn't blame her. Jamila Clark is inviting. Even though I spend my time ignoring her, I think about her. I hate it because it feels like I'm betraying Apphia. "Shai, wait here," I say, jumping to her balcony. I see her lying in bed, reading a book through the glass window. I hate that I find her attractive. But most of all, I hate that when I look at her, I see her… Apphia. She notices me and abruptl
JamilaMorgana's words repeat in my head: 'He won't for so many reasons, and one of them is that you look like her,' What did she mean by that? Who do I look like? Nicholas' first mate?I sit up, wipe my tears, and grab my phone. I type in Luna Queen, and many pictures and articles about the former Luna come up. I carefully look through each one. Apphia Aeson_ the beloved mate of the lycan Prince Nicholas. My breath lodges in my chest. She was ethereal! She had stunning features. We are the same height and have the same nose and skin tone. But her eyes, damn, they are beautiful. One is silver, like my eyes. Is that what she meant?" Apphia Aeson," I whisper—my wolf whimpers.'Hey, you okay,' I ask, concerned, but she only continues to whimper, and I'm getting a headache. I spend the whole day in my room, either sleeping or reading a book. With my wolf's sharp ears, I can tell that Morgana and Nicholas are still in the house so I don't leave. I'm not ready to face them after the bre
The mall is large and full of people. Drake is a step behind me as I browse the stores, picking what I want. I get a few casual dresses, shorts, shirts, and shoes. Drake gives the cashier his card despite my disapproval when it's time to pay. "I have my own money," I murmur. "The alpha told me to pay. He gave me his card," he says. I shove the shopping bags in Drake's hands and enter a Victoria's Secret store, leaving him outside. I smirk. See how you pay for this. I take my sweet time in the store, picking what I like and trying them on. I pay for my items, and when I return, Drake is talking to a very pretty woman. She seems to be my age and has very curly red hair. She seems to be annoyed with him. "You don't have the right to be angry, Vicky; you have a fucking fiancé," Drake's angry, it's the loudest I've heard him speak. "Oh, was I supposed to wait until you're ready? When Josh was down on his knee with an engagement ring. Why the fuck am I even speaking to you right now,"
Jamila"Go away, go away!" I scramble out of bed but fall face-first on the ground. Meow"HELP ME!" I scream. I struggle to get up, but I do. The door opens just as I charge towards it. I hit into a warm body. Sparks shoot through me. I look up. It's Nicholas, of course. I jump into his arms, clutching him as tightly as I can and burying my face in his neck."There's a cat in my bed. Please, kick it out," I beg. "Shai,"Meow"She's gone," he says. I pull away from him and face him. His beautiful eyes immediately suck me in. I swallow thickly. For a moment, we stare at each other. "Get off me," he whispers. I oblige instantly, getting to my feet and staring at him.He's not wearing a shirt, and I'm entranced by the sexiest chest I've ever seen. His body is made up of muscles, and his skin is smooth. This man is a masterpiece. While I'm gaping openly, he turns and leaves the room. I rush after him and grab his arm. He spins around so fast, taking his arm away from my hold, that I i
JamilaI pick a room on this floor. The room is massive, with a black bed. This one is well-furnished, with an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet. It has dust. I take a shower with the products available, which are not so many. Leaving the bathroom, I apply moisturizer, wear a large white T-shirt, and crawl into bed. Sleep eludes me tonight. I grab my phone and text my family in the group chat, I'M WITH MY MATE. I'M SAFE. I'll call when I can. I put the phone on the side table, but it beeps, I grab it. I'm distraught with you, Jami. How could you just leave without a word to us? - Mom. Why are you not answering our calls? - Eric I'm happy for you, sis. Our little Jami is the Luna Queen - Zizi. I turn my phone off after reading the messages and close my eyes, but Nicholas' face keeps returning to my mind. Gosh, he's so fine. How do I feel so strongly for him already? And why doesn't he feel it? 'He does, he's just ignoring it,' my wolf says, the first full sentence I've h
NicholasI feel anxious today, and that woman's face still plagues me. The way she fell from that damn tree into my arms, how she hung onto me, and her smell, she smells nice_ like lavender and peppermint. She fucking hit me with a shoe, I suddenly recall. Does she know who I am? I'd punish her for that, but I didn't want to waste my breath on her. Mate. I snort thinking about that. That brat can't be my mate. But she is, my subconscious barks. No, I don't want her. I wasn't even attracted to her.Blade had asked me if she was telling the truth, but I said she was just crazy. What did Clark call her again? The name is there at the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember it, 'Jamila,' Nico whispers. He's been too quiet since we left the Clark manor last week.Yeah, Jamila.Julius Clark has been trying to meet with me, but I've denied all his requests. He wants to discuss what will happen with his last-born daughter, my second-chance mate. Frustration starts to boil, and I feel my
I'm walking a step behind the Gamma, my heart pounding loudly. I'm going to see my mate. Will he kick me out? Ignore me like the last time? The grand doors open, and we enter the house. It's lovely. We walk through wide corridors; I follow him. We are both silent. The Gamma takes me to a large office and gestures for me to sit on a couch. I do that. He leaves the room. I take out my phone from my bag. Ten missed calls from my Dad, fifteen from my mom, and three from my brothers. I text them in the family group chat, I'M ALRIGHT. GOING TO MY MATE. I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I SETTLE. I switch off my phone and, put it in my bag, and wait. I wait and wait. Has the Gamma forgotten I'm here? I fidget in my seat, debating whether to leave or be patient. While in my dilemma, the door opens, and the Gamma is back, he's not alone. I get to my feet and bow my head to all of them. The gorgeous woman with curly hair and blue eyes gives me a small smile, while the good-looking man is stoic; he looks
