Silas licked his lips as he stared at his mate as if she were a delicious meal."Do you want him to pay for breaking your heart?" This was the question Silas whispered to Tabitha's ear.Silas didn't ask that question to erase Donald from her mind but to understand her desires and provide comfort.It was also a means of understanding the kind of person his mate was."Yes."Tabitha's response was expected, and she agreed to let Silas take her away.Hearing her declaration, Silas lowered his head again and kissed Tabitha.The kiss was too sudden for Tabitha, making her uncomfortable. However, the deep and mind-blowing nature of the kiss didn't allow her to hold back.Silas, however, sensed Tabitha's discomfort from the way she held his shirt and wondered if his shirt was suffocating her.Silas broke the kiss and looked at Tabitha."What's wrong?" He asked.Tabitha appeared uneasy."I can't breathe," Tabitha replied, only for Silas to let out a laugh."That's what I want," Silas stated an
Exiting the hotel, Tabitha somehow managed to make her way back to the club parking lot to find her car. Once she found it, Tabitha checked her bag for the car keys. Fortunately, all the contents were intact, and she proceeded to unlock the car.Upon settling into the driver's seat, Tabitha glanced at the passenger seat, as if expecting something, and then sighed. Placing her bag on the passenger seat, she took several deep breaths, as if struggling to find composure.With closed eyes, Tabitha gripped the steering wheel tightly, breathing heavily through her mouth."Haaa," she continued, releasing heavy breaths, attempting to contain the weight of emotions in her heart. *Ding DingHer phone rang.Once again, another message from the people she dearly wanted to avoid at the moment.Tabitha ignored the messages she was receiving from her phone. The calls she had received on her way to the parking lot also drove her crazy, as she wasn't in the right state of mind to answer anyone or pr
"There's no chance for me," Silas stated in a low voice.Silas's expression and voice conveyed the same hopelessness he had felt during the twelve years of searching for his mate and not finding her."You're going to be the Alpha—the one making decisions for the pack and the company. You need to be strong and intelligent, Silas. Why are you letting go of your mate when you should be searching for her and bringing her to you? That's what you're supposed to do!" Kevin, his wolf, said in his head.Silas zoned out for a while. He stared into space as he thought about the actions he should take concerning his life with his mate.Silas wanted to be with his mate. He desired her. Silas didn't want to entertain the thought that he might not have a chance to be with her.Perhaps it was because she was supposed to be his, destined to be with him; perhaps it was because she was his mate that her fiancé ended up betraying her.Fate was on Silas's side.He shouldn't be too considerate and hesitant
Tabitha found herself driving back to the very place she currently abhorred.The thought of what she'd encounter there disgusted her, but she truly had nowhere else to go.Tabitha wished she had a companion who would help her fight her family, but alas, there was no one.She couldn't even fight them herself, and the realization that she had to continue being weak made her angry.Feeling miserable at the thought of returning, she drove back to her house after cutting her blonde hair and dyeing it caramel fall blonde.The new hairstyle, reaching a little below her ears, felt comfortable.It gave Tabitha the impression of being a new person, different from her former self, a result she had partly aimed for before cutting her hair, and it satisfied her.Tabitha entered her house, seemingly unaffected by the events of the previous night. Passing through the lobby, she reached the sitting room.There, she found her adopted family seated on the couches, engrossed in discussion—likely plotti
Silas sat in the back seat, his elbow resting on his thigh. His finger absentmindedly rubbed his cheek as he gazed out of the window. The thought of meeting his mate, Tabitha, left him feeling anxious.Silas questioned himself countless times about what he would say to Tabitha when he met her. He considered several scenarios, contemplating ways to make Tabitha come to him, even if she initially hesitated and remained doubtful.'You are my mate, and you are supposed to be mine…'‘Yeah, no. It is as awful as it sounds,’ Silas thought as his face darkened. Among the dreadful things that had crossed his mind to say, this statement was just worse.‘Ugh! Think, Silas!’ he thought in frustration as more ideas continued to flash through his mind. Never before had he been so indecisive about what to say. Even during crucial business meetings that could significantly impact the enterprise, Silas had never been so uncertain about the words that could escape his lips. Yet, all it took was a sing
Silas stood before a full-length mirror. Gazing at his reflection, thoughts of Tabitha filled his mind.In a quiet moment of solitude, his mind wandered back to the shared moments with Tabitha.Silas found himself reliving that first electrifying kiss—the way her tongue tasted of the alcohol she had taken. Her lips, soft and warm, left an indelible imprint on his memory.He replayed the choreography of that kiss—the hesitant start, the building urgency, and the eventual surrender to a shared passion.In his moments of quiet reflection, Silas couldn't help but dwell on the night he spent with his mate. The memories played in his mind like a movie.He remembered undressing her, admiring the clear and soft beauty of her skin. Silas could vividly recall the way she clung to him.Silas reflected on the tender moments, the softness of her skin, and the intimacy they shared.In his mind, he revisited their dance of intimacy. Silas recalled the sensation of Tabitha's fingers drawing patterns
Tabitha was awakened by her mother the next morning. She had been unable to sleep for the majority of the night, haunted by thoughts of what her family had done to her. The weight of the betrayal made it difficult for her to find peaceful rest.Tabitha's heart felt heavy. Despite the evidence laid before her eyes, she still couldn't fully believe that the people she had loved all her life were her enemies.Recalling the painful memory of catching Donald cheating on her with her selfish sister and how he took Bianca's side when confronted the night before, Tabitha's heart broke anew.Wailing, she revisited those distressing memories and cried even more as the reality of her family treating her like an object to be used however they pleased, sank in.They weren't her family all along, but did they have to mistreat her just because they weren't biologically related?The numerous hurtful thoughts that swirled in her head tormented her throughout the sleepless night.Tabitha only managed t
Tabitha wasn't surprised at what just happened. From the moment the spit landed on her mother's face, It didn’t take a genius to know, from her mother’s recent action, that she had it coming. What Tabitha hadn't expected was for the slap to be really painful. Her cheek stung, and she was almost close to wearing her emotions on her face again.As she had already vowed to herself to not shed any tears, Tabitha forcefully endured the pain she felt. If anything, the pain only fueled her anger and desire for revenge. This pain, she'll make them feel it too. All of them. She didn't know how, when, but should the opportunity arise, she would.Lucinda wasn't done yet. Just a single slap had done nothing to satisfy her. It was only the beginning of her retaliation. Or at least she saw her actions as retaliation when in actuality, Tabitha had done nothing wrong to her. Even the spit on her face was by accident. Not that Tabitha also had any plans of apologizing though.And an apology would al
I don't know how many times I've told him I love him. He is the most handsome man I've ever seen and I find myself falling in love with him over and over again. I am sitting in bed right now, completely naked, and waiting for my husband to return from his Alpha duties. I am the Luna but he insists on doing everything for me and it makes me love him even more. We have two children, my first child is a beautiful girl and my second child is a handsome smart boy. Five years ago, I was taken away from my husband for six months. His elder brother Micah took me away and poisoned my husband, Silas. I was treated in my brother-in-law's pack and I also found out that he wasn't a rogue, he just started a pack of his own. Micah found out that I was pregnant so he treated me with love and care. He wasn't as bad as I thought he was, he was just hurt by what he thought his family did to him. While I dwelled with my brother-in-law, my husband searched everywhere in the country for me, he wen
Tabitha had told her best friend about her wedding with Silas so when Tabitha returned from Ireland, Sarafina came to visit her with congratulations and gifts. Two weeks later, Tabitha and Silas moved to his family house, where Silas began to prepare himself for his post as an Alpha. Tabitha on the other hand made friends with people around and in two weeks, she began to adapt to the people around her. Before she left Silas's house in the city, her true identity about being the real daughter of Mr Jones and the right heir to her mother's properties was exposed. Silas settled everything and her rights were given back to her. However, Tabitha signed it over to Silas as his property. Mr Jones begged Tabitha to forgive his mistakes so did Bianca but Tabitha did just as her wolf said she should. She advised them to live a good life and move on. She had nothing to do with the Jones anymore because her surname was Graham and she was Silas's family already. Tabitha became the Pack’s do
Silas was sleeping beside Tabitha, resting his head on his elbow that was supported by the bed. He was watching his new wife sleep. She had been sleeping for hours. It was noon already and she wasn't awake yet. Silas wasn't surprised because he already made her a werewolf and he knew that when he checked the wound around her neck to see that it had healed with a mark on it. “When will my little wolf wake up? It's 4, I miss you so much, baby,” Silas touched her hair and stroked it for a while before kissing Tabitha's forehead. It felt as if she was hungry and longing for something but she was happy at the same time. Everything she saw was dark but it felt as if she was in the light. “What is going on?” This was Tabitha's thought. “Our mate is waiting for you to wake up,” Tabitha heard a tiny voice. At this moment, Silas's wolf was jumping and celebrating. It felt as if Silas was going to burst and let his wolf overcome his body but he still felt in control of what was happening.
“Do you like this?” Tabitha asked after seeing how real his expression was. “I love it!” He exclaimed and went closer to kiss her forehead. The next moment, Tabitha was in her wedding gown, standing beside Silas who was already wearing a wedding suit as well. “We look so ready for this,” Silas uttered as they stared at each other in the mirror. “It feels like a dream come true,” Tabitha remarked, enjoying the view of Silas and her ready for marriage. Silas grabbed Tabitha's waist, his facial expression so real. He was happy and couldn't even express it all. ***The door to the hall went open that morning and the bride walked in with her flowers. Tabitha was the bride, she never imagined that her real marriage would happen without the family she called her family all her life. She saw Silas waiting by the altar for her. Why was she so happy about this moment? Everything happened so fast but she was happy about it because, for some strange reason, she felt like marrying Silas w
‘But we've only known each other for a very short time,’ Tabitha's mind was now in chaos. So many thoughts were entering her head as she stared down at Silas who was looking up at her with hope. ‘But I always feel safe with him.’ ‘But that's not what marriage is all about.’‘He loves me and I want him so why should we waste time? We are getting old day by day.’ ‘Marriage isn't a play.’ ‘It isn't but I want him.’‘He’s so handsome. I cannot imagine my life without him.’ ‘I want him.’ ‘I want him.’ ‘I want him.’ Tabitha kept on saying this until she extended her hand to him. “I want to be with you,” she grinned. “I will marry you and spend the rest of my life with you,” she agreed with a nod. Silas felt this feeling rush through his body as if a demon that possessed him was leaving his body. He put the ring around her finger and stood up only to carry Tabitha around her waist and lift her to be above him as though she had no weight. He stared at her for a while and just simply
Duke saw where she was eating after he entered her house. He couldn't deny how comfortable her house looked when he glanced at it first. “I heard you also just moved in not quite long,” Duke turned around to face Sarafina. “Yes, Andrew helped me,” she answered but unknowingly, she twisted something in Duke's heart. His face suddenly turned cold and then he looked away. “Also?” Sarafina processed what Duke said and realized that he used the word.“Yes, I moved into that apartment, I want to explore. I do that most of the time,” he answered. “You mean you aren't with a woman?” Sarafina had let out her thoughts before she realized it. At this point, she wished the floor would swallow her. She bit her lower lip and faced the floor, scolding herself loudly inside her head. Duke walked close to her and touched her chin, lifting her face to face his. Sarafina was stuck but she couldn't do anything so she just gave in to whatever he wanted to say or do. She saw him smirking and studyi
It was already a few minutes past nine when Sarafina drove her car into the parking lot. She massaged her forehead after removing the key from her car and let out a sigh. “I was so happy about working but…” she sighed again. “What was I expecting? To sit in an office and do nothing? It's so exhausting,” she let out a sigh again and brought out the food she took with her after having dinner with Andrew at some fancy restaurant. She was going to heat the meal and eat it tonight before taking some painkillers and she planned to sleep afterward. Sarafina used the elevator to locate her apartment. Her eyes were looking tired and sleepy but she waved it off and tried to stay focused. With time, she reached the entrance to her apartment and realized that the apartment she saw in the morning making some arrangements was done and everything seemed clear except for the fact that there was a delivery in front of the apartment owner's door. Sarafina, at first just wanted to enter her room an
Andrew spent ten minutes removing the negative thoughts he had in his head about Tabitha getting missing and receiving his boss's anger. He was happy that nothing bad happened to Tabitha. He was, however, interested in who took Tabitha home, which was something he'd still look into after he dropped Sarafina home.Andrew drove his car to Sarafina's house and carried her gently to her room. He had decorated the house with her after she moved into the house. He helped her sleep comfortably in the bed and tucked her in the bedsheet. Afterward, he sat in the bed next to her and began to stare at her. “Why does it feel like I need you?” He asked aloud. “I find myself thinking about you all the time and sometimes I just smile like a fool when I remember how beautiful you are when you smile?” “It also hurts deep down when I look at you and see how you truly feel about me through your eyes.” “It's not your fault, we don't control our hearts and I don't hate myself for falling in love wit
Silas was in the living room trying his best to focus on his work but he was busy staring at Tabitha's photos. He went through her post and saw the videos she took of herself celebrating with her best friend. He was happy to see her happy. It felt as if it was the end because everything appeared right. He was relieved. Staring at her photo made him feel this sensation he couldn't understand and he kept looking at her, studying her face, eyes, and her lips. While he was busy staring at her, he heard the doorbell. Silas was surprised because Tabitha didn't inform him about coming back but now his doorbell was ringing. She didn't have to ring the bell; she literally had access to the house. The house was hers as well. However, Silas stood up and went to open the door. Perhaps the person wasn't his Tabitha. After opening the door, he found himself feeling very dissatisfied and angry. “Hi!” He heard from the man who had his arms around Tabitha's body as if she was his own. Silas
