Tabitha blinked in surprise, shocked to the point of forgetting to breathe. His words left her doubting if she had heard correctly.Staring at him, she couldn’t help the images of that night resurfacing in her mind—the intimate moment, the sensations coursing through her body, the pleasant words he spoke. It all came flooding back.Beyond the pleasure she experienced, something undeniable, he made her feel alive when everything seemed dead.But what was he saying now? Could he be serious about what he said? That one of the reasons why he was here with her was because he couldn't get enough…No! Tabitha mentally blocked out his deep, melodic voice that continued to echo.Still stunned from the sudden encounter and now this, she continued to stare at him.All her pain was still buried deep in her heart, but she believed that for the second time she had spent with Silas, his presence seemed to be capable of washing it away when they were together.Silas, not receiving any solid reaction
Saddened, Silas stood motionless in the spot Tabitha left him.The words she spoke before leaving felt like sharp blades, each making its way into his soul and stabbing it. He was hurt and angry, not at Tabitha, but at the people who had killed her inside.The outcome of his conversation with Tabitha did not surprise him. He had expected it from the beginning, but expecting it to happen and it happening were two different things.Silas did not agree that the night they shared was a mistake, but could Tabitha be right that it should never have happened?This was why he had been hesitant to have his mate on the very first day. He knew that the outcome of that night might not be favorable to either him or Tabitha. His hesitation stemmed from the awareness that, even though she acted in such a seductive manner that drew him in, the reality was that she had only been that way because she was looking for an escape from her sudden misery. She was vulnerable and drunk.Silas turned his gaze f
Travis Wise tried his utmost best to convince Silas that what he saw wasn't what he believed to be the case.Even after he tried to ‘clarify’ things with a lot of beautiful nonsense and a jovial demeanor, speaking to Silas as if they were old acquaintances, Silas knew what he saw and wouldn't be fooled. This, and the fact that he could sense his mate's feelings at that time, made him aware that Travis Wise was onto some nonsense.It only irritated him more.In response to Travis Wise's explanations, Silas remained silent. With an unamused expression on his face, he conversed with Kevin in his mind.“Seeing my mate in this state makes me so mad,” Silas complained to his wolf.“At least she seems to be at ease now since I can't sense anything negative,” Kevin stated, surprising Silas.“That's strange,” Silas said. The overall calm situation at his mate's side wasn't what he was expecting. Not that he wanted anything bad to happen to her or for her to feel more gloomy, but the sudden sen
Silas placed his hand on the back of her head while her hands remained by her sides because she was still asleep. “Shh,” Silas calmly said. “Shh,” he continued, using his other hand to pat her back. “Shh.” Silas wondered what was going on to cause Tabitha to burst into tears. He knew she was pained by what her family and everyone related to her had been doing to her but right now, she was asleep. Could she be reminiscing about everything through her dream, causing her to hurt this much until she began to cry? However, Silas didn't need a reason to help his mate out of her distress. He continued to pat her back and caress the back of her head but now started to hum a song. Tabitha, though was still fast asleep, despite crying, heard his hum. She was already feeling comfortable in his arms but when she heard his soothing voice, like a newborn baby, she stopped crying slowly. “That's it, my dear, that's it,” Silas said to her. When she stopped crying and he sensed how deep she was
"We're going to die, and it's because of you!" Tabitha wailed, lifting her legs off the bed to check on Silas, whom she believed was dying.Despite feeling weak from hunger, Tabitha suddenly found the strength to exert herself and get out of bed because of the unfolding situation."Look at what you caused. You're dying, and I'm going to die too because you forced me to drink the water. I knew something like this was going to happen, all because of you!" Tabitha hit Silas's shoulder with her hand after kneeling beside him, though deep down, she knew Silas hadn't forced her to drink the water.Tabitha’s mind was filled with various thoughts, driven by her increasing fear of realizing she had been poisoned by the water in Silas’s room.Amidst her concerns, she didn’t pause to ponder why someone like Silas would have poisoned water in his room in the first place or why he would want to poison her while still drinking from it.If Silas didn’t intend harm, considering he drank from it, then
Tabitha stared at Silas after he withdrew his hands from hers. With confusion in her eyes, she lowered her gaze to her hands, holding one of her hands with her other hand and pondering Silas's recent actions."Are you a wizard?" Tabitha suddenly asked, unable to comprehend what had just transpired between Silas and her. If she told herself that what she felt a moment ago while Silas held her hands was normal, she would be lying to herself.Tabitha struggled to explain the emotions surging within her—a blend of relaxation, neediness, hunger, and an oddly comforting happiness. It all came at once, which was very confusing and disturbing.Could she have been possessed?Would she become a witch? If possible, she'd use the power to get her revenge, but what can be the consequences of having such powers?No, wait, what really happened?Tabitha drifted her gaze to Silas again to see him staring at her. It was very obvious that he knew she was puzzled and that she had questions.Suddenly, he
The final moments of her life were approaching. The reality hit Tabitha once more as the ladies hired by her mother helped her to look as beautiful as a bride should be.Tabitha wished her wedding were a class she could just skip. Unfortunately, this wedding was one she couldn't avoid because she was caged by her family with the assistance of her in-laws.Tabitha released a subdued sigh, gazing at her reflection in the mirror. Surrounding her, the ladies carefully ensured every detail was perfect.'Had I not discovered the truth, I'd be celebrating now, feeling joyous, believing I'm the luckiest woman. I would have thought I was marrying the man of my dreams, but it was all a show. Even now, I still can't understand why Donald insists on marrying me when he's well aware that his heart belongs to Bianca, not me.’Lost in her thoughts, Tabitha felt her heart beat unsteadily with every contemplation."I'm simply doomed," Tabitha murmured to herself, turning toward the door.As it swung o
'Why am I feeling excited?''It's that jumpy feeling again. It feels like I'm on top of the world. It feels like I have nothing to bother about, and I have everything I want, no matter what it is.'Tabitha, while reading the template, thought to herself. The sensation felt like a fragrance that kept approaching until the hall’s grand doors swung open."What's happening?" Tabitha pondered as the door swung open. She was curious about the person behind the door because the opening didn't catch her by surprise. It felt like she had anticipated the door opening.Everyone wanted to see the dummy who interrupted the wedding. It could be a child or a staff member who lost their way.No one expected anything significant because they believed that anyone attending the wedding would have arrived before the bride made her entrance.‘Why am I feeling this anticipation?’ Tabitha wondered as the sensation enveloped her. 'What am I expecting?’Everyone's gaze remained on the space that appeared afte
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
