Apphia
Sapphire blue eyes, jet black hair, and the loveliest smile I've ever seen. He is perfect in every way, yet I can't make out his face. I'm lying on my back, my body trembling as his fingers tease their way to my core.
"You're so perfect, Apphia," the stranger whispers in my ear. "I want to mark your neck and make you mine for real," His delicious lips descend on mine, and he pushes his tongue between my lips, exploring my mouth. His long, slender fingers are caressing my skin delicately, and I feel a burning sensation throughout my body. My pussy is pulsating and dripping for him. "You're mine, baby," he murmurs, eyes consumed with lust. His lips are subjecting me to more pleasure as he leaves trails of kisses on my skin. My breath is irregular. "Say it," "Hmm," a moan bubbles from my chest as I rock my hips back and forth against his massive hardness. "Say it," he orders. I shiver, and then warmth spreads as his delicious scent shrouds me. "I'm... Yours," His slow movements on my body make my brain foggy. I reach my hands to touch his broad shoulders as I press my body into him, wanting all of his warmth. Sexy growls, tears from his chest as he sucks my nipples. My skin is on fire; I want him ... so badly. "Please," I beg. " I need you inside me," my voice is small and desperate. "Fuck, you're driving me crazy, baby," he husks, a devilish smirk playing on his lush lips. I click my legs around his waist so he doesn't stop. My heart races with desire as the fire burns within us. His penetrating gaze is on me, waiting for my approval or refusal. I nod, telling him to continue. He smiles slightly, taking it as a yes. "I love you, Apphia," "I love you," I whisper, resuming our passionate kiss. He aligns his massive cock on my inviting, wet entrance, and I hear my breathing change, ready to receive him."Scarface, wake up!" I hear someone scream. I freeze, looking around to see where the voice is coming from.
I startle awake at the banging on my door. My hand clutches my heaving chest. "Holy shit, that was an intense dream," I breathe in and out to calm my erratic heart. I bring my fingers to my core. It's moist. That dream was too absolute. I still feel the delightful sensation on my skin. I lie back on the mattress for a minute, throwing an arm over my face as I mentally prepare myself for the demons that await me outside this room." Come the fuck out!"
"Coming," I groan at the incessant banging on the door.
I hop out of bed, feeling dizzy momentarily—something within starts to blossom. I feel ... energized. I don't feel any bodily pain after working my ass off yesterday. It's odd. A smile curls on my lips at the feeling. I focus on everything around me. I didn't know it was possible to have such a bright vision. I can smell freshly baked buns from the kitchen and hear sounds from outside, even as far as the training fields. I feel like I've awakened another sense. I pull my hair in a ponytail and style it in curtain bangs to hide my scar. Before going out, I tuck my necklace under my shirt.I spent the whole day cleaning the packhouse until it was spotless, and then I went to the laundry room. I sat there to read a book. It is the only place people rarely use in the packhouse, so I come here.
I only looked up from my book when the door opened. Aya Amir sauntered in. "I have been looking everywhere for you," Her fists are clenched. I can feel her anger blazing. She's here to get revenge for what happened last night at dinner. I'm silent, not wanting to engage with her. "Didn't you hear me?!" she slaps the back of my head. I raise my eyes to her face. "How may I help you?" my tone is exaggerated with politeness. My eyes are wide in anticipation as I stare into her brown eyes, but she can see through my pretense. It pisses her off more. "You will show me respect. I'll soon be Luna of this pack!" she shrieks. "When my brother shows you pity and chooses you as his Luna, I will try to be respectful, but until then, you are nothing to me. No one," I emphasize the word no one. From the corner of my vision, I see Aya lunge at me, and I move away. I don't know how because she is crazy fast. Her eyes flash with anger. "You're fucking dead, bitch," she growls, charging at me again. I grab the chair I was sitting on earlier and throw it at her. She doubles over, and I use another chair to hit her while she recovers. I feel possessed as I hit her until she is on the floor, unable to move. I leave the laundry room and lock the door in my panic. Fuck, what possessed me to do that. 'I did. Hi, Apphia,' a voice beams in my head. 'Are you my wolf?' 'Yes. My name is Ziora, but you can call me ...' she pauses for dramatic effect. Or maybe making up a nickname,' Zio,' So, I do have a wolf, after all. Werewolves feel their inner counterpart as early as ten, but there has been part of us since we were born. We shift at sixteen years old, but it wasn't like that in my case. 'Hello, Zio. Did you take over and hit Aya?' 'Yes. she was being mean to you, and I got angry. It felt good to do that,' she giggles. 'Why didn't you come on my sixteenth birthday?' I ask. 'I just couldn't. I tried,' Ziora is sad. It is an odd sensation to have a wolf within you. I can feel everything she does,' Apphia, why do you let them mistreat you when you have Alpha blood?' 'How can they not when my father and brother enable the abuse,' 'That sucks, but I'm here now. We'll get through this together and leave this pack,' my wolf is confident. 'I like the sound of that,' Knowing I have someone who will never leave me feels good: my best friend and companion. I'm focused on my wolf to see where I'm going. I bump into a wall, but firm hands catch me before I fall to the ground. I feel tingles rush through my body. I looked up and came face to face with Gavin Jr. I gasped as his unique citric scent hit me, and my wolf whispered one word. 'Mate,' My heart starts to race in my chest, and butterflies bounce in my stomach. My body feels warm and pleasant. Is Gavin Jr. my mate? Oh, goddess, thank you! I like Gavin, and he's Duncan's second in command. Once we are mated, everyone will treat me better. I smile brightly for the first in ten years, but the smile dies when I realize he is glaring at me. All air is sucked out of my lungs when the realization strikes me; he hates me. The excitement I was feeling turned to dread.Apphia"Y- you're my mate," my voice is unrecognizable to my ears. I feel a lump growing in my throat. "Shut up! I'm not your mate," he commands. My eyes widen in shock, and a whimper escapes my mouth at his harshness. Gavin grabs my elbow; sparks erupt over my arm again. My heart sprints as he discreetly drags me away from the packhouse into the forest where no one can see or hear us. "No," I whimper, knowing what he is about to do. Fear settles in my stomach at the thought of not being wanted by my soulmate. Even though mates are given by the moon goddess, they can still reject each other and break the bond. There is no doubt Gavin brought me here to reject me. I feel a burning pain in my chest, and tears fill my eyes. "You've dragged me here to reject me, " I say, my voice quiet. "Of course. What choice do I have?!" he growls, running a hand through dark brown hair, " You are the reason Luna, your mother, is dead. Because of your selfishness," Those words from his
ApphiaOn my way outside, I see Gavin in the common area. He's making out with the pack slut, Calla. I almost puke at the sight, and the pain in my chest intensifies."Hey, slut, stop," Calla calls me in her nasal voice. I don't stop walking. "Apphia!" she shouts. I stop and cock my head to look at her. "Did you not hear me call you?" she asks, getting off Gavi's lap and walks to me. "You said slut, and the only slut I see in this room is you," I say, making Nalani and Vivian burst into laughter. The two girls are never mean to me. Nalani tries to make conversation with me, and even go as far as to defend me from bullies. Calla gasps and attempts to slap me, but a growl from Gavin stops her hand in mid-air. I stare at my ex-mate; he has a blank expression. "Don't fucking dare hit my- her, Calla," "I won't fight her. Apphia needs to reserve her energy for Amir. He is taking her to his pack tomorrow, "Calla laughs. My eyes widen with fear. "What?!" Gavin, and Nalani boom, th
Apphia My eyes flutter open, and I feel the weight of someone on top of me. Sheer terror runs through me. I can't breathe properly. I fight to no avail. He's so much stronger than me. "Don't be a tease," he pants as he thrusts into me. A sob escapes my lips. "You're so dramatic, Apphia. I know you like it," "Stop it, please!" I cry. I hit Rory's chest, hoping he'd get him me, but he pins my hands over my head as he continues his assault mercilessly. "Help me!" I scream at the top of my lungs. He attempts to cover my mouth but fails. He smacks me, and I feel my lip split. I can taste blood in my mouth. "Why don't you just stay still!" he hisses, choking me. I feel like passing out again. I see a rock through my peripheral blurred vision and grab it. I hit him with a large rock against his temple several times. "Ahh," he screams, rolling off me. I use this change to stagger to my feet. There's a painful sensation between my legs because of his forced entry, and there
ApphiaI'm running as fast as I can. I don't know where I'm going, but I keep running for my life, tears rolling down my cheeks. I hear their thundering paws and footsteps behind me, their growls and snarls of excitement piercing through the forest as they enjoy the chase. I run faster. I hear a clap of thunder roll through the dark sky, and lightning strikes the ground. I lose my footing and fall to the dirt, landing on my knees and hands, but I get up instantly, dragging my legs and running again. Slowly, raindrops fall on me, and I get soaked. I'm so cold. I'm shivering uncontrollably. But the harsh cold and rain are unimportant right now. I need to get further from the men hunting me down. I can see the light not far from me. I'm thankful for the rain because it covers my scent and makes it hard for them to find me. My lungs burn with exhaustion, and my legs can't carry me anymore. I'm panting for breath. I need to hide, but there is nowhere to hide. I begin to slow d
Nicholas The wait is killing me, and my heart is cold. We wait while my mate is in the surgery room. My parents are talking to Blade, whispering while they send worried glances at me. A few hours later, the door opens, and the doctor walks out. Everyone jumps to their feet. " Doctor! Is she going to be alright?" my mom asks. The doctor gives her a pitiful smile. My heart drops to the floor. It isn't going to be good news. Doctor White glances at my youngest siblings. " Can you grab something to drink at the cafeteria?" she says. She doesn't want them to hear what she has to tell us. A shiver goes down my spine. They scowl and hesitate, but one glare from my mother, and they leave. " Prince Knox, please go with them," Dr White says to my seventeen-year-old brother. " I'm not a child," " Knox, please," Dad says sternly. He grumbles something unintelligent and leaves. Blade's pov I stumble to my feet when Prince Nicholas stood up, panicking. " What's going on?" H
NicholasWhat the doctor said hits me like a hammer. The words sexually assaulted replay in my head. I disappear down towards the sidewalk towards the exit. My legs finally give up as I exit the general hospital and sit on a bench. The rain is slowly coming to a stop, but it's enough to get me soaked. As the doctor's words ring repeatedly, I put my hands on my head. I think about the state I found her in. What could have happened had she not been able to use our mate bond to mind-link me? My lycan is growling and is sad all at once. However, we are both angry, and my body is shaking. I want to rip something apart. Blade sits next to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. " Nick, the Luna will be alright," he says softly. " What if she didn't reach me via mind link? What could have happened to her?"" But she did reach you, and you saved her. No need to dwell on the what-ifs and why," Blade says, " Anyway, I know something that will make you feel slightly better, follow me," I glance at
Gavin " Fuck, that feels good," I grab a fistful of her hair. Calla moans as she sucks my dick. At least she's fucking good at something. Her tongue twirled and played around my dick, making me growl in pleasure. I move my hips faster, and she follows my speed. I grab the back of her head, shoving her head down, making her go faster. "Yes, suck my dick faster," I move my hips into her, my dick going deeper into her throat. My body starts to shake as I cum undone. I spill my liquid into her throat, and she sucks me dry. I exhale, sinking into my office chair. Calla gets up, giggling and straddling me. " Did you like that, baby?" she asks. I nod, running a hand through my hair. " I did too, I enjoy pleasuring you, Gavi, imagine if-" " Don't speak, please," I've told her multiple times to shut her dumb mouth. " You've been so sullen and rude towards me lately," she murmurs. I growl and push her off me, " There you go again, speaking when I told you not to!" Cal
Nicholas " You've always been closed off, and I accepted it, but this is too much even from you," I ignore my mother's voice as I focus on my exercise. She keeps walking back and forth as I change my routine. "You are hardly sleeping or eating. It's unhealthy, we should have dinner tonight," "I'm fine, Mom," I growl, annoyed at her. " It's been a week since your mate has been in a coma. You don't talk about her to anyone. How do you feel?" she asks. My family has been on my case since I found my mate at the border, beaten. They are worried about my well-being since I've been more closed off than usual. "I hate that you bottle things inside, Nick. You won't explode if you vent or communicate your emotions out loud," I exhale and drop the dumbells, and face my dear mother. " I feel like fucking shit! It's been a week, and we haven't found who did that to her. They hurt her... So badly. I hate myself that I couldn't be there, that she had to suffer while I didn't.
ApphiaWhy has he marked me? I wonder. Is he unsure about me? Does he not want me to feel what he does? I'm prepared to ask him, but Ziora stops me. Nicholas slowly slips out of me and stands beside the bed. I close my eyes, reeling from everything that happened. I feel him hover over me again and kiss my neck, licking and nibbling it. " You're so intoxicating," he mutters. I can feel his dick hardening again. His hips thrust gently against my skin. He lifts himself slightly and lowers his dick into my wet pussy. " You were made for me, Apphia. Your body was, too," Nicholas thrusts into me. My hands go to the back of his neck, caressing his skin. Our gaze locked on each other as he pushed deeper into me. " I love you, Nicholas," " I love you," We keep going. I'm a moaning mess again. My hips meet his pace fiercely. I'm about to explode again. I feel the build-up in my abdomen. Nicholas' canines elongate against the crook of my neck. He's about to mark me. It will show everyone t
Apphia" I want you, Nicholas," I murmur, warm tingles running down my body. He smiles wickedly at me. I run my thumb over his mouth, and his lips open, taking my thumb in his mouth and sucking it hard, his gaze intently on mine. It's so hot. Nicholas takes me towards the bed and gently puts me in the middle, my back against the headboard. He kneels before my feet and resumes the kiss. I close my eyes, melting into the kiss. He retreats, gazing at me again in awe. " You're perfection, Apphia," he whispers. My breath is stuck in my throat. I can't take my gaze off him. He's freaking gorgeous!Nicholas' long fingers caress my inner thighs, making me shiver. He is watching me with amusement, enjoying my reactions to him. His fingers go up my thigh and touch my sex over my thong. My heart leaps. His lips quirk into what resembles a smile. He moves my thong aside and skims my clit, massaging it. His gaze is intense on me, hypnotizing me with his orbs. My breath is getting shallow. Ni
Apphia I scream. My heart ceases briefly. However, whatever it is, he grabs its neck and stretches out his arm so it doesn't scratch him with its sharp claws. I clamber out of bed and rush to him. " No, stay there, Apphia," he growls. I ignore his command and stand beside him. The creature that almost attacked him is a tiger—a cub, but it's large. We glance at each other, my heart calming now that I know it didn't hurt him. The cub is growling and trying to scratch him weakly this time, as Nicholas has it by its neck. Its gaze snaps to me; mesmerizing large golden eyes stare into mine- into my soul. My heart melts as recognition sets in me. ' it's our friend,' Ziora says. " You're hurting her," I choke. " It wants to attack me," he grits. " It's Shai," I whisper, not taking my eyes off the cub. Nicholas instantly puts her on the ground. The two glare at each other briefly, and then the cub strides toward me; Nicholas grabs my elbow, protective, still glowering at the Shai.
Apphia "S- should I be expecting anything? What should I do?" I ask nervously, blushing deeply. "No, sweetie, trust me when I say your body will know what to do when the time comes. It knows everything," Lily answers. "And you're lucky you're doing it with your mate for the first time. He will be gentle and ensure you're good," Daisy adds. "How old were you when you had sex the first time," "I was fifteen, and it hurt because he was rough," Daisy snarls, scrunching her face, " He didn't even make me come, that idiot," My mood is dampened when I remember my first time if I can call it that. It was painful, too, and I often hear Rory's voice in my ear when he was rapping me. I hear his labored breathing and breathe against my skin. My skin crawls. I breathe in and out silently, purging that awful memory from my mind. Lily squeezes my hand, knowing why my mood has soured. I glance at her, and she shakes her head, silently asking me to expel such thoughts." And you, Lily?" I a
Apphia "What the fuck are you doing here?" a growl resounds.We both turn to see Lily and Daisy Zhang approaching us. Both Ladies look immaculate in their office outfits. Lily crosses her arms against her chest, glaring at the Alpha beside me."Sweet goddess," Maximus sighs, rolling his eyes. "Apphia, why are you with this man?" Lily asks. "He found me at the fountain on his way out, and we just exchanged pleasantries," I say, hoping I don't sound fake. Lily gives me a skeptical stare but doesn't comment any further—instead, Daisy sneers. "Paving his way in her good graces," "Why does he need to?" I ask. "Because he wants your help getting in the alpha council committee," she rolls lovely eyes as though it is common knowledge. Council committe? "Me? I can't do that," I mumble, frowning and glancing at Maximus, but his expression remains impassive. Could it be that he wanted to be my ally because he needed my help with that? " You're Luna of the Sapphire Royal Pack and Future
Apphia I glare at the brunette who hugged my mate at my Luna ceremony as she approaches me cockily. She has the perfect hourglass figure with big boobs and is wearing a low-cut black dress that shows off her legs. She looks at me like I'm dirt beneath her shoe. I try to remember her name, but it eludes me. She stops and scowls at me once she's within arms' reach. " Afia, is it?" she sneers. " Apphia," I correct, my voice small. She knows my name but is trying to aggravate me. This woman has come to intimidate me. I summon all the courage I require; I refuse to be bullied by her. No more. Those days are gone. " Oh yes," she says, shaking her head. " My alpha's new toy," I scowl, I don't like how she says " My alpha," " I'm not your Alpha's new toy. I'm his mate, his Luna," I retort, my voice leveled. " I would say congratulations and offer my best wishes, but I wouldn't mean it, and I'm not a liar," her piercing brown gaze stares into me. " I don't need either of that from
Apphia I can't believe my eyes. The bulky man hunting me down that night in the rain is glaring at me from across the road. I recognize him because I've seen him multiple times with Amir. 'The alpha will feel good tonight,' he laughed when I was struck down. What is he doing in the Sapphire royal pack? My heart pounds painfully against my chest, and panic crushes me. My wolf is telling me to calm down, that he can't hurt me, but I can't calm myself now. My body shudders. A harsh reminder of what happened that night rushes to me. My body is trembling. "Nicholas!" I call urgently, tears pool in my eyes. He ends his call and runs to my side. He opens the car door hurriedly and crouches beside me, his hands cupping my head. "Apphia, you're shaking. What is it?" he asks, worry lacing his voice. I point to where I saw that man standing, but he's not there anymore, "Someone was watching me. He was there, Nicholas. It's one of the men who were hunting me down the night of the atta
We explore the gardens, stopping to smell the flowers on more occasions. My eyes notice a muddy swamp across the field, and I go there, noting some familiar flowers, though not so many. My smile broadened when I realized it had lotus flowers. "Nicholas, lotus flowers! Like the ones you give me," I point to the swamp excitedly. "Are they your favorite flowers?" "No, but they remind me of you?" he says. I furrow my eyebrows at him, confounded. How so?" Nicholas cups my face in his hands and gently kisses my mouth, looking me in the eye, he explains. "A lotus flower blossoms from muddy water without stains, and it is strong. It represents you, Apphia. You never gave up despite the harsh realities you've been through," The intensity in his gaze makes me tremble, "You are blossoming slowly, even after what you've been through. You are my lotus. The bravest and strongest girl that I know. For that, I love and respect you more than I thought possible," His words bring tears
Apphia"Can I use your bathroom?" I ask, untangling myself from his hold. He grunts in disapproval, but he releases me. "Sure," he answers. " I'll make a few phone calls," Once I slip from bed, I stretch my body. Nicholas is watching me intently; it makes me feel hot all over my body. I blush and rush to the bathroom. The ensuite bathroom takes my breath away momentarily. It is white and has a shower in one area and an egg-shaped jacuzzi in another. A large mirror takes up half of the wall and has white marble countertops. I glance at my reflection in the mirror. I hadn't realized there was a fixed smile on my face. What happened earlier in the bedroom with Nicholas was so hot and satisfying that I couldn't stifle my moans. I acted like a different girl—a lustful woman. I strip off my clothes and hop into the shower. The water is warm and steamy. I cup my face as I reminisce what just happened in bed again. Nicholas Lavista sucked and licked my pussy. I touch my cheeks, eyes wideni
