Chapter 40Mara’s Pov “You are perfect” he said into my ear as he fondled me, I was crushed between him and the big white oak tree. I sighed and grabbed his hair, drawing him deeper into the kiss.“Touch me, touch me everywhere Rhys,”I say and he does, he touches me everywhere and I melt under his hands. His hands stray to the wet part between my legs and I arch in pleasure.“Do you like that?” He asked and suddenly we were at the gym, he was crushing me on the wall and his hands were exploring my insides. I moaned in pleasure and his mouth followed the trails his hands made all over my body. I readied myself for his lips In my wet bridge.“I want you now” I whispered against his hair and he stopped in his tracks, his eyes met mine.“Not yet? Just a little more.” He choked out and I nodded. Not like I had any say in the matter. I was completely under his spell and I loved it.“I want you now!” I cried when I knew I was about to give in, I was at the peak of my pleasure and I wanted
Chapter 41Rhys POVI couldn't help the grin on my face as I sat on my desk,I think trying to focus on the files but uncontrollably thinking about mara .Damn. Her luscious orbs kept distracting me from my work, The way her breast pushed against the thin fabric of mara singlet, nipples hard and begging for attention , was driving me wild ,I couldn't stop imagining how they would feel in my hands ,how her skin would taste and how her body would respond to my touch .I didn't know how long I sat there daydreaming about… her.A soft knock on the door pulled me back to reality, I sat up straight knowing it was Mara.“Come in,” I called out. She didn't open the door immediately; she waited a little before stepping in with a sly smile.I could tell she was nervous because of what happened earlier this morning. She had changed from her pjs to a simple gown, and I wondered how a poor, orphan girl could be so effortlessly elegant.With nicer dresses, her beauty could surpass all she-wolves in
Chapter 42Mara's POVI didn't know what came over me, maybe it was his touch, his intoxicating scent or the fact I had been dreaming of him that gave me the confidence to kiss him.He quickly kissed me back, parting my lips and his tongue fought mine for dominance. I felt a strange surge of pleasure run up my back at the feel of his lips against mine. It felt like heaven. My own personal Heaven.The kiss seemed to ignite a special kind of fire in my body. I closed my eyes fearing it was one of the dreams and that I would soon wake up from it. But I was soon snapped back to reality when I felt myself being lowered down.It’s real! It’s fucking real!I felt his hands tug at my soaking panties from under my dress but my thoughts were too fuzzy to think about caring. My eyes tore open in shock when I noticed his large hand wrap around my neck."Mara..." He growled, pulling away his breathing ragged."I'll fuck you over the desk till you lose your ability to walk if you don't leave now."
Chapter 43 Rhys POV She ran out of my office and I sighed as I settled back on my chair. When did she start to take control over my body and brain? ‘It has been going on for a while. You have just turned an intentional blind eye to it.’ Black said and I rolled my eyes in response. ‘Can’t you respect a man’s thoughts?’ I questioned and he chuckled before replying. ‘I am your thoughts.’ I scoffed and ran my hands through my hair, my shirt clung tightly to my body as I tried to stabilize my breath. My cock was hard and painful, so I went to my office toilet to relieve myself. I unbuttoned my pants and got down to business, “ shit!,” I bit my lips tightly as the pleasure hit my senses. The thought of her wavy long hair coupled with her alluring charm clouded my mind, making me hit the peak faster. “Finally,” I breathed in relief, taking a few rolls of tissue to clean myself up. Beads of sweat gathered on my forehead making me look freaking hot and sexy. I ran my tongue over my
Chapter 43Rhys’s Pov She walked out briskly and I sighed as I settled back on my chair.When has she started to have control over my body and brain?‘It has been going on for a while. You have just turned an intentional blind eye to it.’ Black said and I rolled my eyes.‘Can’t you respect a man’s thoughts?’ I asked him and he chuckled.‘I am your thoughts.’ I scoffed and ran my hands through my hair. I adjusted my shirts and stood upright.In this goddamned pack, Sundays are not an exemption for working. They were even more active on Sundays.‘You better act the alpha when you are at the meeting. Don’t go all respectful, they are all your subjects’ Black grounded as I closed up my file and picked up my coat.‘Be helpful, not judgmental.’ I respond and leave the office, closing the door behind me.The moonlight ball was important to every pack member. It was a night dedicated to revealing mates different from the system where wolves' mates were revealed once they became adults. Th
Chapter 45 Rhys pov I stood up abruptly from my seat with blazing red eyes, I fumed in anger and growled at them “ is that the only solution you could think of? I really underestimated you all, I should use an innocent girl for baby making,” I hit my hand angrily on the desk, making the floor shake massively. They all bowed their heads and kept quiet, my mother was the one that broke the silence minutes later. “ It's not like that, we have already explained this to you, why are you not getting it?” I gazed at her with a furrowed brow, trying my best not to utter a harsh word. “ You are a woman right? Will you be happy if anyone does that to you?” I questioned, raising my eyebrow at her. She lowered her gaze and stuttered, “ that… that is not what we are talking about here, moreover if it's my duty to the pack then I will gladly do that,” I scoffed and was about to continue with the banter when my father's cold voice rang out, “ enough of all the disrespect and exchange of words
Chapter 46 Rhys pov She wavered around like a drunken person while trying to balance her steps, “ I … I don't know,” she stuttered, looking very uncomfortable. I moved to her and touched her forehead lightly, “ I feel really hot and dizzy,” she added, fanning herself with her hand. I could tell from her facial expressions and careless gestures that something was indeed wrong with her but that isn't the solution now, “ let's get you some fresh air,” I said, guiding her to a more relaxed spot. Probably that was going to help with the hotness. She looked better but her face was flushed with crimson red color, she was groaning at intervals which made me kind of restless. “ What exactly is wrong with you?” My mind wasn't at rest so I had to probe further. “ I really don't know, I was just drinking with Azura then I started to feel uncomfortable but I think it has to do with Sam,” she muttered in a low voice. I gave her a look of uncertainty and proved further, “ why do you think it
Chapter 47 Mara's pov The sun seeped through the cotton and settled on my face, I yawned and instantly palmed my face to block the sun ray. I stretched out my hand to reach my phone but only the coldness of the bed welcomed me. I fluttered an eye open as I gradually observed my environment. Noticing the unfamiliarity, I panicked and opened the second eye, I sat up straight while trying to recollect how I ended up here and most importantly, alone in this unknown place. I gasped as a few fragments of memories gathered in my head, they weren't complete but I could still grasp what had happened. “ Wait,” I suddenly spoke up as a particular memory rushed to my head, the memory was so embarrassing that I had to palm my face in embarrassment. “ What will he think of me now?” I hit my head slightly as I tugged at my hair. The shyness was suddenly replaced with anger as the fragment became whole, my forehead creased as anger oozed out of my body. “ How dare he? Am I that repulsive or n
Rhys's eyes were locked onto Mara’s irises as she held onto her silver flowing dress, with a soft smile creased on her face as she walked down the stairs.He couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she looked, walking down the stairs, graced in her beautiful silver dress.She was truly breathtaking, with her long red hair wrapped around in long waves with a small ribbon placed right on top. Her well-defined juicy lips with the upper lip almost in the shape of a heart that lingered a sweet, caring smile painted with deep crimson lipstick, and her pinkish cheeks and small apart little freckles all came into view when she came up close to Rhys. The space between them slowly closed up as the music by the garden sort of increased when he grabbed her by the hand.“You…” Rhys stuttered, staring into her eyes unable to look away. He’d slowly gone lost in them. Just when she etched closer, he leaned forward whispering into her ears. “You look so beautiful,” He said, with a smile creaesd on
Rhy’s POV Two rogues came barreling in. They were running right for me as I ducked taking both rogues down to the floor in seconds making sure to have them both wounded.I watched both rogues squirming on the floor as they clenched their throats and then I knelt on the floor and started shifting, seeing that I was slowly getting outnumbered. I stepped forward and then grabbed one of them stepping over top of him. And then I bared my teeth into his flesh, growling, forcing a permanent hole as I had him killed instantly as the others stood by watching the scene. A lot of rogue men hurried my way, coming in groups of four, and twos headed in my direction.My eyes for some annoying reason, slowly had its color changed under the influence of me being completely angry over the fact that she was being taken away by Giovanni and I was getting attacked by some unknown rogue men.“Where the hell are they coming from?” I scowled, trying to make my way through angry rogue men as they attacked.
RHYS POVMy knuckles gripped the steering wheel, turning white as I imagined all the ways I'd kill whoever must have done this.I wanted to make sure his death was so agonizingly painful that when I was done with him, he'd be begging for the blessings of death.Lost In my thoughts of torture, I didn't notice how much time had passed. I recognized the area immediately and felt relief pour through me as I neared the motel.I pulled up to the garage, squinting through the dark as I hopped out of my car. I walked close to the building, holding up my flashlight in the air.As I walked into the building, I realized there happened to be no locks on the door. I had my foot against the door, and in seconds the door creaked open.I flashed my light in the direction of the dark, knowing down my guts that it was somewhat dangerous being out here all alone. But I didn't care…Mara was all I cared about.I trudged further into the dark, with my eyes locked on the empty hallways up ahead. I wondered
Rhys POVI watched Talia walking out of the mansion quietly, a couple of days later. Her movements seemed quite suspicious as she hopped into her zooming off.I couldn't stand my Wolf from growling at the thought of her knowing something about Mara’s disappearance.I decided to follow her to find out where she was headed. The fact that I could have her whereabouts tracked by her scent made it quite easier.She took about four turns and then into an unknown part of the city before stopping in front of a bar. A bar is known only to be visited, by rebellions.“What the hell is she doing here?” I whispered to myself as I parked a few meters away from her, making sure to take full cover.I peeped through the rearview mirror of my car and saw that there was a black Benz parked behind me, blocking me from driving out. I lowered my head, to avoid being caught in the game.My eyes widened in shock at the realization of whom it was that had stepped out of the car.The one man I never imagined I
RHY’S POV I had my head lowered as I rummaged through the papers on my desk. I tried extremely hard to focus but the conversation from a couple of weeks ago with Yara, kept whirling in my head. “Go on,” My voice was short and my eyes never left the stack of papers. Ignoring the fact that I’d been on one paragraph for the last couple of hours. “We’ve already upped patrol on the border, but still no sign of her,” Dante spoke up, distressed all over his face as he stared back at me.“I'm open to more orders,” He added, as I leaned back in the chair keeping my eyes low.“We stay on the course, we stay scouting, we have to keep searching,” I said frustratingly.“We can't be sitting ducks, we have to do something—” I grimaced but then paused, the minute I realized I was beginning to over react.It had been a couple of months since she’d suddenly disappeared. A couple of months since we had dinner together and a couple of months since I’ve seen her smile.“Perhaps we could send out a few
Rhys's Pov.Yara's words pierced through my heart. "Rhys, listen to me. Mara would come to me if she needed help. She trusts me."Something stirred within me. A spark of hope."Mara would come to you?" I repeated.Yara nodded. "Of course, She has no one else."No one else? The weight of those words crushed me. Mara's isolation, Her loneliness, My failure.But Yara's next words ignited a fire. "Rhys, Mara didn't come to me. She didn't leave you."I felt a glimmer of hope, A chance. "Mara's still out there, in Giovanni's custody," I whispered.Waiting For me. Waiting for me to find her. To make it right.Yara's grip on my arm tightened. "Find her Rhys, Make it right."Determination coursed through me. I'd find Mara. Explain everything. Prove my love, With newfound purpose.Yara's warning echoed in my mind. "Remember, Rhys, Talia's a snake. Has been always will be," she said.I nodded, determination etched on my face. "I'll be careful," I said.Yara's eyes narrowed. "Careful isn't enough
Rhys's PovI was left all alone at home. I paced through the darkness of my bedroom with bottles of Alcohol in both hands.Mara's note echoed in my mind. "I thought our love was stronger.""I thought you loved me." "I was wrong."Talia's words sliced through my haze. "Rhys, I'm here for you."Her hand touched my shoulder. I shrugged it off. "Leave me alone, Talia," I screamed at her."Rhys, please—""Get out!" I roared.Talia's eyes widened. "Rhys, I just want to help.""Help?" I sneered. "You've done enough."My anger boiled over. "You and your games, Your lies, Your manipulations."Talia stepped back. "Rhys, I'm sorry—""Sorry?" I laughed harshly. "Sorry isn't enough."I stood, swaying. The room spun.Talia's face blurred."Get out," I repeated. My voice cracked.Talia hesitated. Then turned and ran.The door slammed shut, I collapsed onto the couch.Whiskey spilled from my hand. Mara's face haunted me. Her smile, Her laughter, Her tears.My regret suffocated me. Why hadn't I told h
Rhys povI couldn't shake off the feeling that Talia was involved in Mara's disappearance.Her manipulations knew no bounds. But what if she'd played me from the start?A sudden memory flashed in my mind.How Talia had approached me with Her offer."I can work as a double spy for you and Giovanni," she'd said."I'll feed him false information while keeping you informed."Her expression was somber. "I have something to tell you, Rhys," she'd said."About Giovanni?" I prompted.Talia nodded. "And my involvement," she saidI gestured for her to continue."It all started months ago," Talia began. "Giovanni approached me, charming and persuasive, He promised me wealth, status, and power.""And you believed him?" I asked.Talia's eyes dropped. "I did. I thought he could offer me more than you could, Rhys."More than I could? The words stung."But then I realized..." Talia's voice trailed off."Realized what?" I asked."That I was just a tool," Talia said, her voice barely above a whisper."
Rhys POVI pulled into the driveway, exhausted from the trip.Finally home, finally, I'll be able to make things right with Mara.But as I entered the house, a sense of unease crept in within me."Mara?" I called out. But there was no answer, I frowned.Where was she? Where could she be by this time?I searched the house but I couldn't find her.'Maybe she wasn't home, or maybe she must have gone to her friend's place' I thought.But Mara wasn't the type to leave the house without letting anyone know.I checked our bedroom, and there was no sign of Mara and to my greatest shock, Her luggage was gone.A shiver ran down my spine. "Mara?" I called again, louder this time.But only silence replied. Panic set in.No! She wouldn't leave, Not like this, Not without talking to me.Fear gripped my heart. Where was she? Was she safe? Where could she be? The orphanage?The questions consumed my mind. I grabbed my phone and dialed Mara's number.Voicemail, Again, And again. I was so scared that p
