_Chase’s POV_I dropped to one knee, my heart racing like a runaway train. My wolf paced restlessly, sensing my tension. Elodie's eyes widened, her face pale. I swallowed hard, my dry mouth threatening to betray me."Elodie, how about you make me the happiest man ever?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "Marry me. Be my wife, my mate, and my Luna."My wolf whined, anxious, as if sensing my fear of rejection. Elodie's gaze locked onto mine, her eyes searching. I felt like I was drowning in their depths."Chase, I...I don't know," she stammered, her voice barely audible.My heart sank, but I pushed on."I know it's sudden, but I've never felt this way about anyone. You're my everything, Elodie. My wolf agrees." I took a deep breath. "We want to spend the rest of our lives with you."Elodie's eyes narrowed, her brow furrowed."But, Chase, you're a werewolf. And I'm human. How would this work?"I nodded, anticipating her concerns."I’ll have to mark you. That’s how we consummate o
I woke up to the warmth of Chase's arms wrapped around me, our limbs intertwined, his gentle breathing a soothing melody. Our night together still lingered in my mind, a haze of passion and love.It has been nothing but bliss since I came back from the hospital nearly a week ago, and each day, I was more convinced that I wanted to do life with Chase.As I stirred, Chase's eyes fluttered open, his gaze locking onto mine. "Good morning, my love," he whispered, his voice husky."Good morning," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.Chase's lips brushed against mine, sending shivers down my spine.He pulled me closer to him, pressing his erection into my stomach, making me giggle and feel hot at the same time.He couldn’t get enough of me and I wasn’t any better.“I can smell your arousal,” he said in a deep voice.My reply was a shudder that ran through my spine.Faster than I could blink, Chase threw the covers off me, revealing my naked body.“Fuck, baby,” he groaned as his eyes f
As I turned away from the mirror, the memory of those fleeting amber eyes lingered, leaving an indelible mark on my mind. Laila's gentle voice echoed from the doorway, a soft reminder that the moment I had been anticipating all week had arrived."Elodie, it's time."I took a deep, steadying breath, smoothing the delicate folds of my silk gown. The fabric shimmered in the soft light, accentuating the curves of my body like a masterpiece crafted by the gods.Laila approached, her eyes shining with admiration. "You're breathtaking, darling. Little wonder how you got the Alpha wrapped around your fingers."I smiled, feeling a surge of confidence wash over me.She offered her arm, and I took it, letting her escort me out of the sanctuary of my room and into the grandeur of the mansion.As we descended the staircase, the opulent chandelier above cast a kaleidoscope of colors, bathing us in a warm, golden glow. The soft rustle of my gown and clicking of my heels echoed through the hallway, a
"Elodie!"I snapped my head toward the sound, my eyes scanning the crowd with a mix of surprise and delight.And then I saw him.Alexander.Almost three months had passed, but it seemed like no time had passed at all as I stared at his infectious grin and sparkling eyes.I hadn't seen or heard from him since Chase had whisked me away from Greece without a goodbye, leaving me with a lingering sense of guilt.I was stunned, my mouth agape, as I stared at Alexander's goofy smile.Chase's arms tightened around me, his eyes narrowing, his gaze fixed on Alexander with a hint of possessiveness.Alexander's eyes sparkled with mischief as he navigated through the crowd, his movements fluid and carefree."Alex!" I exclaimed, breaking free from Chase's hold.I rushed toward Alexander, throwing my arms around him, feeling a rush of joy and familiarity.He lifted me off the ground, spinning me around, his laughter echoing through the night air."Whoa, you look stunning, Elodie!" Alexander exclaime
I woke up to the warm sunlight peeking through the curtains, casting a golden glow on Chase's sleeping face, and accentuating the love bites plastered all over my chest.A small smile played on my lips as I recalled the events of last night. After we left the party, our things were already packed and ready, and in no time, we were on a flight to a “surprise location” and I couldn’t have imagined my honeymoon– if I could call it that– any better.Our luxurious villa overlooked the turquoise waters of Bora Bora, a slice of heaven on earth. The thatched roof and wooden beams blended seamlessly into the lush surroundings, creating a sense of harmony with nature.Chase stirred, his eyes fluttering open. "Morning, beautiful," he whispered, his voice husky from sleep."Morning," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.Chase's arms wrapped around me, pulling me close, his warmth enveloping me through my silk nightwear. We lingered in a gentle kiss, the world outside melting away."Today's
_Chase’s POV_As I stood before Elodie in my majestic wolf form, the moonlight dancing across my fur, I felt a tumultuous mix of emotions swirling within me. Anticipation, excitement, and a hint of nervousness all battled for dominance, like the crashing waves against the shore. But the moment Elodie's eyes locked onto mine, I knew that I had nothing to fear.Her gaze held wonder, awe, and acceptance, like a warm embrace that enveloped me. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, tracing every detail of my wolf form, from the contours of my fur to the shape of my ears and the piercing yellow of my eyes. The air around us seemed to vibrate with tension, as if the very fabric of our connection was being rewoven."Você é lindo," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the sound of the waves. The words hung in the air like a promise, filling my heart with emotion.She thought I was beautiful, not just physically, but also the entirety of my person.My massive paws sank into the sand as I to
It felt like I was living a dream. One of those dreams you wanted to continue for a very long time and you never wanted to wake up? Yeah, this felt like one of it.But this time, I was scared to go to sleep because my reality was finally better than my dreams. I never wanted to wake up and find that it had all been a dream.I couldn’t even bear the thought.My life had changed in more ways than one. I learned to accept something I never thought existed in my wildest imaginations.I learned to love someone even more than I loved myself, and that was the scariest part.The fact that this man had snuck into my life and changed it. Most times, I was convinced that I’d left my heart in his hands that first day I ran out of the club like a cat who’s tail was on fire.A small smile crept up on my lips as I thought about how that moment landed us here.“What’s funny?” Chase asked, his fingers massaging my scalp in the way he knew I love.“Nothing,” I shrugged lightly. “Just thinking about how
As I lay in Chase's arms, my tears slowly drying on my cheeks, I felt his warmth envelop me. I couldn’t tell how much time passed with me just laying in his chest and crying my eyes out. He didn’t ask me to stop crying. He just sat there in silence, his fingers caressing my hair as I let it all out.It was more than enough for me. Knowing he was there and would always be there even at my lowest. I could ask for more. His gentle strokes on my hair soothed my frazzled nerves till my cries reduced to quiet sobs and then totally stopped coming, leaving just a hollow feeling in my chest."Hey," he whispered, his breath tickling my ear. "You know what I love about you?"I lifted my gaze to meet his, my eyes still watery. "What?" My voice was hoarse from crying.Chase's smile was soft, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Everything."I chuckled and rolled my eyes, feeling a lump form in my throat."No, seriously," he continued, his voice filled with sincerity. He held my chin softly to keep
