We already know where the pictures went off to... Hihihi! I hope you are enjoying the book thus far, Love, RARE
WOLF POVSumming up my day and subtracting the distracting pictures I received from my mother, which were now, of course, in my phone's trash can, today was…. AMA-ZING!And it would have ended even better if my father didn’t force me to go to my ‘marital house’ as soon as I clocked off from work. On a very serious note, I was looking forward to our drinks with Kennedy. I had a lot to tell him, a lot to share with him about how proud I was of all I have achieved, and how I was going to work harder to steer this ship to sail in the right direction.But no, he and mom had other plans. And those plans included… you guessed it. Skylar Candy Campbell. I meant Smith. She was a Smith now and she was tied down onto me. Couldn’t life get any weirder? Arriving at my mansion, it felt suffocating. Not because I was going to meet my nemesis of a wife, but because this house only, the very structure and architecture of it, had been reserved for something great, something beautiful and most definite
SKY POVThere was nothing that made me incredibly happy in this life, than putting Kayden in his rightful place. For starters, my sister’s fiancée, or wait; my husband was an arrogant ball sack who thought that the world revolved around him.Secondly, I wanted him to know that I was more than my sister’s shadow, so much more than the world painted me. I was my own person, I had my own life and dreams to chase, and if I was to be stuck in this sham of a marriage, then I was going to make both of us miserable, at least him being more miserable made it all worth it.If we were going down, then we were fuckin’ falling together.Even if it meant denying him food while it was written all over his face that he was hungry. It was cold, I know, but I fuckin’ loved it. The look on his face when I dumped the remains made it all worth it and then patting his shoulder on my way to my bedroom, was a damn lullaby. I slept with a giant smile on my face. They say a path to a man's heart is through his
WOLF POVToday passed in a big muddled blur of crazy.The meetings were endless, and the whole planning was driving my mind to an endless limbo. But then again, doing what you always love and what you are passionate about is always like a double-edged sword.You subject yourself to a sweet kind of agony only because your mind keeps begging for more. The more you delve deeper into it, the more enchanted you feel. Your body may fight against it, but the pain is so sweet that you want more and more of it. It's crazy, I know.By the time it reached 5 pm, I was completely and utterly whacked. Tired didn’t even begin to explain what I was feeling. All I could think of was how badly I needed a good soak in a hot tub and just let the warmth of the water soothe my sore muscles, and then after that, straight to bed. Nothing else. Not even the Gorgo of a wife I left at home. That woman…I was glad that I haven’t thought about her at all during the day, FUCK. I just did.The fact that she brazen
SKY POV ‘Remember that party back in training where you had to force yourself to puke?’I sent a text from my phone and then glanced up to find people lazing around with expensive wines and drinks in their hands. I heaved a small sigh to myself and then glanced back at my phone at the three dots.‘Ugh… Sophia’s birthday? How could I ever forget that disaster?’Diego replied, and then sent in puking emojis that had me snorting out some laughter.‘Okay, now take that situation, and dump a bunch of potbellied men dressed in tuxedos and their wives clamped in pearls. And all of them pretending to love the idea of being here.'Seriously, this had to be the most boring party in the entire universe. And fun fact, everyone looked like they could rather be anywhere than here. There was nothing special about this. The music was awful, and the atmosphere itself was depressing. It was more of a social gathering, the music, the food, the fuckin' theme itself. Everything was just so monochrom
WOLF POV “WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?”I slammed the car do and continued behind her as she sashayed towards the door, with a little sway in her hips. Was it the heels? But I couldn’t give a damn, at least not right now. I was ready to tear down all those walls just to kick the shit out of her, or I swear I was going to smother her in her sleep.“Oh, please Kayden. I am way too tired to deal with you right now. I just want to sleep peacefully.” She fired back without looking, then pushed the door open and proceeded further into the house, and oh hell no. Little Missy had some explaining to do.“You aren't sleeping unless you tell me what the fuck was all that. Just what the hell were you hoping to achieve with that little stunt you pulled?” That got her attention because she stopped in her tracks and turned to face me,“A stunt? Or do you mean to say ‘thank you Skylar for helping me retrieve the money I spent on the most boring and nut-kicking party I planned, and for actua
SKY POVIt’s been a couple of weeks, close to a month since I have officially been trapped in this hell hole that looked like a palace. We still fought like cats and dogs but in all honesty, it was mild now. We naturally stepped into our own lanes in order to avoid bothering each other, and it was almost peaceful. Since my last snap at his head and him owning it and apologizing, our days were the usual routine life of him getting early for his gym and having breakfast prepared by the maids (because I never wasted my time and energy cooking him breakfast unless I was feeling too merciful), and then leaving for work without a word. Sometimes when he felt like it, he would knock on my door for a small ‘good morning’ and then leave. In the evenings, he would either be very late that he finds me asleep, or he is way too early that I have to sit with him at the dinner table and try to keep myself from clawing his eyes out. See, it was all good. And frankly, the more I spent time with him,
WOLF POVJust who the fuck did she think she is? Some queen bitch delivered to my lap to make me angry almost 90% of my life?I just didn’t know what to do anymore. I have tried, I have fuckin’ tried to try to accommodate her and make her feel less shitty about her already fucked up life, but no, she had to defy me every minute of the day. She had this giant impenetrable wall built in front of her, and damn you if you ever tried to cross it.Skylar had boundaries, and she was fuckin’ firm on them. I get that, and I fuckin' respect it. Everyone has their boundaries, there are invisible lines drawn everywhere, lines to be observed and not crossed. But if she wanted to keep me off her back as much as she tried, then she fuckin’ succeeded. She didn't need to say more. Because as of now, I was boycotting all the things that started with ‘SKY’. Or else, I am going to drive myself into a mental asylum.For the whole day, I buried my head in work and tried very hard to forget her bitter words
SKY POV“See you tomorrow.” I waved at my team as everyone exited the door carrying their bags. In a matter of seconds, the whole studio was in eerie silence. I glanced around the empty studio and then stretched my body, before backpedaling to my little inn where I was finishing up the embellishments.Heaving out a huge sigh, I sat down on the stool and picked up my needle. I was tired. Matter of fact, tired didn’t even begin to describe it. It felt like there was a burning spear piercing through my back, and my ears were ringing loud as fuck. My feet were literally killing me and I was starving. Luckily, I was clever enough to order myself some food while everyone was still around.Now it was just me, and the rest of the work. I was glad though, that we managed to finish 3 costumes in just a matter of a few hours and this was the fourth one, which of course, would be finished by morning. Plucking on my little desk speaker, I played my favorite songs and then danced around. Fuckin
EPILOGUE ~A YEAR LATER~SKY POV“Are you ready?” Arthur’s rough gravel voice called out from behind me causing my eyes to move from my reflection and land on his in the mirror. Dressed in an emerald green suit, he looked like a model who jumped straight off the photo shoot booth and came here to bless my day. Even though he had faint gray hairs in his thick mane, he looked his part and he knew how to pull one just the right way. I smiled heartily and stepped out of my seat, then walked to him and gave him a big hug.“You look amazing.” He said before accepting my hug, then rocked me side to side for a good minute and pushed back,“Kayden is going to lose it.” He said causing me to chuckle. “Now you're only exaggerating.” “He is not.” Samantha stepped from behind Arthur, dressed in an olive green gown that hugged her body well, only to split in half when it reached her thigh and pooled around her legs. To say she was beautiful would be an understatement.“Everyone is beginning to th
SKY POV~TWO MONTHS LATER~“One more surprise, Kayden, I swear you will marry yourself.”I huffed trying to push my big tummy forward and cradled my waist with my hands from my behind, then annoyingly stared at my husband-slash-fiancée who came out of the living room trying to hide his laughter, but only to fail miserably upon my clearly unfazed expression. He walked into the lobby to find me waiting for him, glaring at him and wanting nothing but to hurt his pretty face.“And I promise, this is the last time.” He tried to smooth as he walked passed me and placed himself right at my behind, with his front pressed against my back. I fought the urge to lean back into his hold and decided to stand my ground. I wasn't going to allow myself to be swayed.“Come here.” He didn’t wait for me to refute, no. Instead, he rounded his arms around me and supported my tummy from beneath, then gently lifted the bulging weight that was seriously going to kill me one of these days. I was well at the 39
KAYDEN POV“SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIISE.”The rest of the squad cheered as soon as I yanked off the blindfold from her face. She remained stoic for a few heartbeats before her mind slit back to the present, then started laughing and crying at the same time as she received hugs from the girls. The boys knew that stepping close to my woman was a big no-no, and that my pregnant woman was as unreachable as the stars. So they did all they could and stole kisses on her cheeks, which was still unacceptable, but then again, I decided to let them have their moment since they were enjoying this more than they probably should. 30 minutes later, we were seated on the floor watching as she opened bazillion presents bought by our friends. Honestly, I didn’t know they would go above and beyond for this thing, especially when I have all organized it in a short period of time. It didn't even take the full 24 hours but they were all in. “I kind of knew it was coming so I started preparing gifts,” Oli reveale
SKY POVThe painful memories as well as the haunting shadows of agony were slowly swept away by the firm tides of time, and every day my body changed visibly and profoundly as the lives inside of me grew bigger and bigger. My daily life was impacted extremely and I knew it intimately I was going to have one hell of a hard time bringing the cubbies to life.It was safe to say the pregnancy wasn't all bananas as I had hoped, but with all that pain and struggle came love I never knew was possible. Kayden was aware of my struggles and how the pregnancy was taking a toll not just on my body, but on my mind as well, and my man did all he that was in his power to share the burden with me. As much as it hurts every day considering how big I was, I was really not complaining because this time, I got a very fair share of a partner who supported me greatly.He was with me all day long and gave up half of his work life just to be by my side. At first, it was just a milder thing but when time went
SKY POVThe day flew by faster than I had anticipated. Cassie insisted on going here and there without getting rest and by now, I was beaten up so bad that all I wanted was to soak my feet in a tub of warm water and take a small nap. I was really tired and all of these seemed rather pointless.I get that she wanted to spend some time with me, do the girls’ things and shit, but I was so tired, especially after loitering the whole day. But then again, the look on her face made it all worth it. I don’t remember the last time she was this happy, so outgoing with a buoyant smile on her face. So I just let her have her moment and didn’t fight her.As promised, Kayden showed up after a short while to find us seated in a coffee shop with some dessert in front of us. As soon as he stepped into the building, I felt this magnetic pull that had me gazing in his way and there he was, dominating the small space looking like something sculpted by the gods themselves. He was dressed neatly in a blu
KAYDEN POVWaking up the way I did had to be, hands down, the best way a man can ever do. For the rest of the day, I had a slight jump in my steps and a burst of laughter in my voice. And there could ever be the only reason why I looked like I had a loose screw in my head. Skylar Babe Smith. It was safe to say that, that little sweetheart made me the happiest version of myself. And with every day that passed, there was no believing that I had the opportunity to be the one that woke up beside her in the morning. The way I was, the way I was smiling from time to time, I am damn sure I looked nothing like the usual sour wolf who wore an angry scowl for more than half of my life. And frankly, I didn’t care. I may have tried to keep my cool, and be the badass man I used to be, but it was just too impossible. And concealing the feeling I had didn't sound much like a thrilling idea. I was happy, and the whole world deserved to know because just a mere thought of that little vixen had my he
SKY POVThe morning sun streaked across the room, bathing the surrounding with its glorious halo signaling the birth of the new day. A hot, soft yet heavy arm snaked around my waist, absent-mindedly pulling me closer to a wall of muscles and cocooning my back in a rampage of loving heat. A soft giggle escaped my lips when I felt a hot velvety rod nuzzled between the cradle of my naked butt cheeks, and the wild vixen in me prompted me to shift a little, just to get it moving.My moves were rewarded by a small groan and shallow breathing, as he continued frolicking around the comfort of his subconscious. The arm securing me in his hold tightened around me, and I fought a little to turn so that I could face him and stare at him sleeping happily. Gazing at his hard, yet soft features, my mind was suddenly flooded with all kinds of thoughts, especially the occurrences that had gone down the past few weeks.All the pain, all the hurt, only because of one big misunderstanding?That had to be
KAYDEN POVAlmost before her feet could touch the ground underneath the car body, I was right in front of her already hoisting her up in my hold. A small giggle tore from her lips as she circled her arms around my neck, her head resting on my shoulder. If I was not already madly in love with her right now, I swear I would have fallen right at that moment.“I can walk you know?” She said in a little voice, and I was happy that she wasn’t fighting me on this one. I gave her a slight nod as I continued my strides toward the house, being careful not to rock her body and God forbid, hurt my babies inside of her body. To think that there were little almost-humans baking in there, it was something so surreal that made me shudder whenever I thought of it. This beautiful woman was making my life complete in all the ways I never knew I lacked.“Kayden, come on. I am pregnant, not dying of stage 76 cancer.” She retorted and it was my turn to laugh. She can be so hilarious when she wants.“I neve
SKY POV*TWO WEEKS LATER*“I STILL DON’T LIKE YOU!!!” Diego exclaimed before slamming the door right on Kayden’s back, wrenching a burst of laughter from out of me. He returned from the door with a sly grin on his face before plopping himself right next to me where I was nuzzled cozily with blankets and shit.“Cut him some slack, will ya?” I threw a small cushion that was stuffed behind me to support my back, at him, and he expertly caught it before leaning back into the chair. “I don’t think I am ready to tell him that I have forgiven him.” He confessed causing my lips to drop in a lope-sided smirk.“So you are just going to keep him on his toes and have him guessing?” “That’s kind of a point yeah.” He huffed before staring blankly into the space.“He is the father of my god-kids, and yes he is really trying to make up for all the shit, and honestly, I am moved.” He clutched his chest and then let out a loud huff, facing me. I couldn’t help but snort out a very unbecoming sound.“
