Three weeks had passed since that fateful night. Three weeks since Chase had pushed me away, his eyes cold and distant. Three weeks since my world had shattered into a million pieces.I stood in my bedroom, surrounded by half-packed suitcases and memories. My mother's voice echoed from downstairs, a constant reminder of my impending departure."Elodie, come down! We need to finalize the travel arrangements."I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm brewing inside me. In 24 hours, I'd be on a plane to Tokyo, bound for my aunt's house. A "temporary" solution, my mother called it. A chance for me to "reflect" on my actions.But I knew the truth. I was being exiled.I made my way downstairs, my feet heavy with resignation. My mother stood by the kitchen counter, her eyes still flashing with anger. The same look that had been in her eyes since the night I came back to the house with my head bowed."Elodie, I've booked your flight for tomorrow morning. You'll be staying with Aunt Yumi
_Chase’s POV_I settled into my seat, the soft leather enveloping me as I gazed out the window. The cityscape below grew smaller, fading into the distance as the plane lifted off.My mind wasn't on the view, though. It was consumed by the news that had shattered my world.Alex was gone.My best friend, my brother, my beta, my partner in every sense of the word.The memory of his laughter, his smile, his unwavering loyalty – it all flooded my mind, threatening to drown me.I'd received the call that night, just as Elodie was standing before me, her eyes full of love and concern.I'd pushed her away, unable to process the emotions swirling inside me.Guilt, anger, grief – they'd all tangled together, forming a toxic knot in my chest.His death has knocked me off balance and threatened to tear down everything I ever thought I knew. I hadn’t grieved as hard as I’d done in the past three weeks, and each time it dawned on me that I wouldn’t hear his silly jokes anymore, my world was ripped
I slowly opened my eyes, grogginess clouding my mind. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was walking into the airplane bathroom, and then....Chase.His eyes had been blazing with an out-worldly color, his face twisted in a snarl. He had these inhuman claws had been wrapped around that man’s throat.I sat up, my head spinning. I wasn't on the plane anymore. I was in a luxurious hotel room.Chase sat across from me, his eyes fixed intently on mine. My heart tugged painfully at how breathtaking he looked, reminding me of the void he had created in my heart after pulling it out of my chest and repeatedly stomping on it.He had dark circles around his eyes like he hadn’t slept for days, and his hair was disheveled like he had no care for it, and despite myself, despite the pain I felt, I wanted to wrap my arms around him."Elodie, what were you doing on my jet?" he asked, his voice low and guarded.I rubbed my temples, trying to piece together the events.My head spun. What were the
“You can't even arch properly.”“What's this? Am I fucking a wood?”“Take my cock in your mouth like a good whore since you're too much of a prude to get your pussy wet.”I grimaced as the bitter memories of last night came rushing back to my mind, and I fought back the tears that threatened to spill.Jaden, my boyfriend since sophomore year of highschool had always hinted at how boring I was, but last night was the worst and crossed all lines of disrespect, and the second he shot his load down my throat, I ran out of his house without thinking twice.“Shit,” I muttered as I pushed yet another body away from me.Oriana, the town's main nightclub was packed and nearly bursting at the seams with sweaty and horny bodies grinding, gyrating and dry humping against one another.I walked through the mass of a never-ending flow of drunken people as I searched for Hailey, but soon, the crowd got thinner as I strayed farther from the dancefloor.Out of breath, I rested my hands on the railing o
Adrenaline coursed through me as I pumped my feet on the wet grass. Pain seared through my chest, my limbs were about to give in and my lungs begged me to stop and fill them with air, but I didn't. I couldn't.Not with the creature that was breathing down my neck. Goosebumps rose on my body as I ran, branches grazing and cutting my skin, but that was the least of my problems.A loud shriek left my lips when cold hairy arms touched my elbow, creating a sharp cut, but I forced myself out of their hold and pumped my feet faster.I kept running till I reached a dead end, the edge of a cliff, just like every other time. I turned around slowly to see the creature prancing towards me.Yellow eyes, black fur and bigger than any dog I'd ever seen. It had a malicious looking smile and I knew I had to get away.I turned around, and with one big leap, jumped over the edge of the cliff.I jolted awake, feeling wet and uneasy.No, it wasn't the wetness I felt whenever I dreamt of that sexy strange
Chase's pov“Mate,” my wolf said breathlessly, causing me to look away from the whore with her mouthful of my cock, and to the door.I stiffened immediately.My eyes locked with deep ocean eyes filled with lust and that was what I needed to push me over the edge and with one last thrust, ropes of cum spilled out of my cock and on the whore’s face who licked every drop off.It was like something clicked in the mind of the girl in front of me and her eyes widened before she slammed the door shut.“Fuck,” I grunted and pulled my pants up.“You like that?” The girl on her knees, whatever her name was, asked in a sultry tone.“Yeah, I guess. You can leave now,” I turned around and buttoned up my shirt.The next thing I felt was a breath at my back before the girl snaked her hands around my chest. “When can we do this again?” She purred in my ear.“Never. Leave now,” I growled lowly.I didn't need to turn to see the shocked expression on her face as I moved away from her hold.“What?” I bec
I walked away, putting as much distance between us as possible or I was going to faint.I didn't know what was wrong with me, but from the moment he sat next to me, I felt my heart slamming against my chest repeatedly for a reason I couldn't explain.Never in a million years did I think I was going to see him again. Never in another million years did I think I would see him here, in this house, as my mom's fiance's brother, my future step uncle.Seeing him with that woman stirred a lot of things in me, but I guess the worst of it all was the knot in my stomach that refused to go away.During dinner, I caught myself more than once, imagining to be in that woman's position, but each time, I mentally smacked myself in the head.What the fuck was wrong with me?And just perfect for me, he had to see that stupid wound which I don't even remember getting on my elbow.“You're going the wrong way, Elodie,” his voice made me halt in my tracks.I turned around and walked briskly to him. “Stop c
I woke up with a start, feeling a bit disoriented, but my mind soon came to focus and I yawned while stretching my muscles.The memories of the last twenty four house came rushing back to me and I groaned internally when I realized it wasn't just a dream like my soaked panties made me believe.Everything was real.That man was real.I yelled into a pillow and my muffled scream bounced off the walls.I was greatly affected by him, especially after that little stunt he pulled last night, and I knew I had to avoid him.My phone ringing on my bedside table had me looking up from the pillow and tossing it to the side.My eyes widened at the caller's ID and I immediately felt like a terrible person for not calling my best friend since the day at the club. Not even after I missed her call many times yesterday.“Hi, stranger,” she said in a sultry tone once I picked the call.“I know, I'm terrible,” I groaned and ran my fingers through the bird's nest on top of my head.“I called you more tim
