Chase’s pov Since I was in the pack, I decided to go to the office and see how things were going.I stepped into my office, greeted by the familiar scent of pack business. I took my shower in the bathroom attached to my office, and got dressed in a fresh pair of jeans and shirt.Alexander briefed me on the latest developments, and I listened intently, signing documents and approving proposals. But my mind kept wandering back to Elodie.There was a shitload of work to do, and for a second, I contemplating sending someone else to the human world.In fact, I would have, if it weren’t for a certain blue-eyed girl.More reasons I needed to see Laila as soon as possible.“How much longer before she will be here?” I looked at my wristwatch, my impatience growing.“You know how she is,” Alexander commented, and I rolled my eyes.That woman sure knew how to push my buttons. With her telepathy skills, if she wasn’t here yet, it was because she didn’t want to come. “Any progress?” Alex asked
I rushed through the desolate streets, my heart heavy with worry. A deadly plague had struck my people, spreading rapidly and mercilessly. I had to reach the makeshift hospital before it was too late.My heart thumped wildly in my chest, and I felt a connection with these people whom I didn’t even know, deeper than anything I’d felt before.As I ran, the shadows seemed to twist and writhe around me, like living darkness. The air was thick with the stench of death and decay. My breath came in ragged gasps, my lungs burning from the effort.Goosebumps erupted on my skin, and the uncanny feeling of being watched, engulfed me.I hastened my steps through the gloomy road, hoping to get away from whatever was lurking in the shadows.Suddenly, a terrifying roar echoed through the streets, making my skin crawl. I glanced over my shoulder, but saw nothing. Yet, the sensation of being watched grew stronger. I picked up speed, my legs pumping furiously.The creature emerged from the darkness, i
Chase’s povI stood outside Elodie's room, my ear pressed against the door as her painful sobs tore through me. Without hesitation, I turned the handle and entered, my eyes adjusting to the dim light. Elodie writhed on her bed, her small frame trembling with fear, and doused in sweat. My gut twisted with a protective instinct I'd never felt before.She looked so small and scared, even till this moment that she was calm, and I felt something I never thought I could feel, much less for a girl more than fifteen years younger than me.The age gap between us was glaring, even as I held her small hand, but the strong urge to protect her from any and every harm filled me with burning rage.There were a lot of questions in my mind.In her sleep, she had been whispering words I could barely make out, but I heard her call her dad.She had never mentioned anything about her father –not like it was a surprise since I barely fucking knew her– but hearing her call out to him with so much pain in he
I woke up with a start, and squinted my eyes from the slow drumming in my head.I slept the most peaceful I had in a very long time, and a satisfied sigh escaped my lips.That was until I felt something hard around my torso, and as if all of my senses that had been asleep, had been activated at the same time, I felt soft breaths tickling the baby hairs at the back of my neck.I already knew who it was since his scent enveloped me like a shroud, but I was ready to yell and ask what he was doing there when the memories of last night came rushing in my mind.I twisted and turned, trying to get a view of his face, but his strong arm held me down, keeping me still.“Stop moving if you want to get out of this bed,” his deep and groggy morning voice made my insides twisted and I purred.The daring part of me wanted to see what he meant by his words, so I squirmed again, pushing myself further into him, and my brows shot up to my forehead when I felt his hard erection.“You really don’t liste
Chase waited a few minutes after my mother –because I begged him to– before he went out of my room.My heart raced a mile a minute as I walked towards the bathroom to take my bath, but I couldn’t help the smile on my face.As I stepped into the bathroom, the steamy mirror reflected my flushed face, a testament to the electrifying encounter with Chase. I couldn't help but grin, replaying the moment his lips claimed mine– and every part of my body.I’d woken up with my ass grinding his dick, but in my defense, I thought it was a sweet dream, until it wasn’t. And the way he had woken me up further…..I could really get used to that.I grinned, ignoring the alarm bells going off in my head.“What? It’s not like I’m falling in love with him or anything,” I rolled my eyes at my overly-conscious self.That morning, even though I’d have been toast if my door wasn’t locked, I had the most bubbly shower, and even a mini concert in my bathroom.The water cascaded down my skin, washing away my inh
I lazily ran my fingers through the rim of the cup, my mind very far from the cozy café where I was sitting in.I could hear Hailey’s voice at the back of my head, and even as I saw her lips move, her words simply drifted in and out of my consciousness, and I couldn’t make sense of it. The hiss of steam, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the gentle hum of conversation faded into the background as I relived memories of Chase.Hailey's fingers snapped in front of my face, shattering the reverie. "Ellie!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with concern.I blinked rapidly, refocusing on my friend. "Yeah?" I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.Her shoulders slumped in defeat, her eyes a mixture of sadness and frustration. The same look she had been giving me all week.I broke eye contact, gazing out the window towardsthe kids around my age skating along the road.Why couldn’t my life be simpler and why did I have to be hung up on man way older and way out of my league?“You reall
I clenched my teeth tightly, my jaw aching with the force of my rage as I glared at him, and I balled my hands in fists so tight my nails dug painfully into my palm, but nothing could be compared to the burning rage I felt inside.His eyes, an unnerving shade of green, locked onto mine with an intensity that made my skin crawl. The air was heavy with the scent of his cologne, a constant reminder of the way he'd toyed with my emotions.Chase stood in the middle of my room, looking largely out of place in the lavender-themed space, his towering height and broad shoulders making him look like a predator in a dollhouse, and if it were any other time, I would have laughed.But not right now.Now wasn’t any other time.His eyes were fixed on me in a calculating gaze, and I ignored the chills that ran down my spine as his overpowering scent wafted into my nostrils.“Leave my room,” I started, my voice as low and controlled as possible.“We have to talk….”“Fuck we have to talk,” I snarled, m
Chase’s povI had royally fucked up, and even as she yelled maniacally at me, I couldn’t help the bulge in my pants.“You’ve made it clear what I am to you,” her voice held so many emotions that pulled at my heartstrings.I was stone-hearted. Nobody’s words ever penetrated me, but hearing her small voice break, I felt the overwhelming urge to punch myself in the face.A surge of power I didn’t know she had trapped inside that small body of hers, went through her, and she broke free from my hold, and shoved me. Hard.My eyes widened, caught off guard, but I was more caught off guard that I was caught off guard.“Get out. Get out of my room, out of my life. I’m done!” She yelled, and her eyes burned with fury and unshed tears.I could have pressed, even have her pinned down till she heard what I had to say, but I didn’t want to upset her further.A muscle in my jaw ticked at her resistance to me, but there was nothing I could do. I turned around in my heels and walked out of the room, b
