As I walked into the house, the scent of old wood was hard to miss. The nostalgia it evoked took me back in time to my old house in Ingram, where I lived with my dad. It was a small house, one kitchen, a bedroom and a tiny living area, exactly like this one. The memory of it made me smile. Although that phase of my childhood was a blur, the fondness it entailed was forever etched in my heart.
With Marcus closely following behind me, I felt my body relax in the new space. I loved it even more than the Stenfield Mansion. Perhaps it was the beautiful location it was built in or the privacy it offered, but something about this place that made it seem almost magical.
“It’s my secret escape location,” Marcus’s breath touched my ears as he slowly guided me into the room by my waist. “My safe haven.&
Once he climbed into the bed with me, I felt his hands on my calves. Grazing my skin upward, he didn’t stop until he reached my hips. Clasping the straps of the underwear there, he swiftly pulled it down my legs. Once he rendered me naked, he split my legs apart, his cold fingers instantly touching me down there. An involuntary gasp left my mouth at his touch, making me fall back on the pillow.While he usually took his sweet time savoring my body before he sampled my wetness, he definitely seemed more impatient this time. Like myself, he was perhaps eager to consummate our engagement.“Always so wet, Kiara.” He said as he started rubbing circles on my sensitive bud.I left a moan as his tormenting fingers rubbed the most delicious pattern
I awoke in the middle of the night to the chill in the air. While Marcus’ body acted as an insulator while I fell asleep, his heat was no longer sufficient to keep me warm. Moving my foot, I realized that a duvet was present at the edge of the bed. It was surprising how it still remained intact on the bed after our vigorous session, nonetheless, I was grateful for it.Slipping out his embrace, I decided to use the loo before I went back to sleep. As I cleaned up in the bathroom, a sudden thought struck me. Shit.Mentally calculating how long it had been seen I last got my period, I concluded that I was at least two weeks late. Although this was a rare occurrence, I wouldn’t have worried about the implications of it had
Picking up his pace, he kept thrusting in and out of me with greater vigor. Within a second, I convulsed toward him as another rush of orgasm consumed my body. His warm liquid filled inside of me. Heaving for breath, he collapsed on top of me. I spread my palm flat on his back, gently rubbing his skin, earning a groan from him.“I hate that we need to head back.” He mumbled.I pouted, “Why?”“I need to meet with the Alpha of our neighboring pack to discuss a few things.” He brought his head up to look at me, “Ideally, we should shower together so we can save some time but I doubt I can resist you inside.”“I’m sure you can’t.&r
My heartbeat quickened as I tried my best to attack nonchalant on the outside. Hyper aware of my surroundings, I tried to focus on the lowest of the noises, looking out for any hint of their move on us. “I’ve already texted Marcus.” Bella said from my side, looking ahead of us. “He should be here soon, but I doubt he’ll make it in time. We will need to shift and escape them as soon as we can.” “Shift?” I asked, gulping in fear. “I… I don’t…” Bella glared at me, “If you look like that, we’ll stand no chance.” “That isn’t helping.” She gave me an irritated look, “You’ve never fought as a wolf before?”
It had been two hours since Marcus left, but the trepidations in my heart refused to calm down. Every now and then, my feet took me to the balcony attached to our room, my eyes eagerly awaiting his arrival. A knot was ever persistent in my stomach, to the point of making me sick. I’d lied down for a while to fight the nausea, but it only seemed to worsen it. Within seconds, I found myself rushing to the bathroom. Leaning onto the commode, I retched until I felt utterly empty. Wiping away the tears that stained around my eyes, I flushed before leaning against the wall. Right then, a knock came on the door, making me jump. “Kiara?” Bella’s voice chimed. “Are you alright?” “Yes,” I said, lifting myself off the ground. Running the tap on the basin, I splashed some water against my face before I cleansed my mouth. “That tone isn’t convincing.” Bella said as she opened the door to glance at my reflection in the mirror. “God, you look awful.” “I know,” I sighed, turning around to face h
At that moment, it felt as though my body was paralyzed. I couldn’t move nor could my brain allow me to cry for help. I watched as the man emerged from the brightness behind him, light slowly dancing off the side of his face. He had sharp, determined eyes that threatened to freeze me alive. His jaw was clenched, muscles twitching on the side as he continued coming at me as a hunter would at his prey. I noticed a sharp bark of wood that he had grabbed from the wreckage he had created, and he was now positioning it toward me. At the brink of the attack, I felt my legs lose its confines and prepared to run for my life. Right when he was about to strike me with his weapon, I felt a body envelope me from the front. Spreading her arms apart, Bella used her body as a shield to protect me. As soon as the intruder spotted her, he froze in his place, his face twisting with astonishment. A familiar sense of recognition danced in his eyes, and I suspected that was what protected her from him.
“Oh, my God.” Amanda’s voice rang in the air as she walked into the room. Spotting her daughter amongst the crowd of us, she quickly rushed toward her.“Are you okay?” She asked, planting her hands on Bella’s shoulders.“Mom, I’m fine.”Amanda looked behind her shoulder to look at Marcus, “Why the hell did you leave them alone?”Marcus looked at his mother with apologetic eyes, but didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at me. “They played us.”“Who was it?” Amanda asked.“
“For heaven’s sake.” Bella groaned beside me, “You ought to show some happiness on your face. This is great news, Kiara.” I could only let out a tearless sob. How was this great news? This only meant that not just me, but my unborn baby was also under threat from the enemies. I was responsible not just for mine but my baby’s life too. My hand instinctively flew to my belly, a weird sensation creeping up from there. It had only been a few minutes since the doctor confirmed my pregnancy and I was already feeling sick. “Mark is going to be over the moon.” Bella said, “When do you want to tell him?” “I have no idea.” I said. Just the thought of revealing the news to Marcus made me nervous. I’m sure he would take the news better than me, but somehow I couldn’t bring myself to confess to him already. There was something holding me back, and I couldn’t put a finger on it. “I am not looking forward to it.” “Why don’t you do it after the meeting today?” Marcus had called for a pack meet
