Chapter 57 Mara POV 12... 13... 14... Ugh! I groaned restlessly titling in the other direction, somehow I couldn't get myself to sleep despite feeling tired and counting the ceiling wasn't working. Maybe it was because the moon ball was a few hours away and everyone was to be attendance, What was I going to say? Will they ask for a speech? Rhys didn't mention anything... Urgh! I groaned, kicking my legs underneath the sheets, my eyes still wide. Knock! Knock! came a gentle knock and a feminine voice I couldn't quite grasp what she said. With a sigh I threw the sheets off my body. “Come in,” I yelled, hoping whoever was on the other side would be able to calm my nerves. The door creaked open, and one of the maids stepped in. She carried a shopping bag in her hands. “This is for you, Miss Mara,” she said, holding the bag out to me. “What is it?” I asked, sitting up in bed and taking the bag. It was lighter than I expected. “I believe it’s a dress,” she replied, her smile wi
Chapter 58Rhys POV“Why is Mara's mind blocking me? I refused to make eye contact with black. I was swaying slightly where I was standing, my pulse rate was high.“What advice do I have from you?” I asked black to shift my weight from one foot to the other.“I suggest you give her a visit, then ask her why she is mind blocking you?” He replied, struggling a shoulder. I hum his words, I think that is a nice idea. With a swift, I left the office straight to her room.I took large strides to her room, hoping to meet her inside. My pace was fast, and before I knew it, I was already in front of her door.“Good morning Alpha” Duncan greeted me, I responded with a signal. Ignoring that, I gave him a questioning glaze which he understood.“Call Mara, so I can take her to the party” I said to him, turning backward. I don't really want to show my anxiety to him.His next words struck me hard, making me turn instantly.“I'm here to take her to the occasion hall” he declared.“ You didn't in
Chapter 59Mara's POVI waddled down to the ball banquet, with a pass smile, I could feel my pulse rate at high space. The view of the building was magnificent. Different types of balloons hung on the top of the buildings. It looked more gorgeous than it was the time after the destruction IT caused. What a nice job from Rhys! I sigh heavily. I looked up to see the fire balloon was sparkling, making its side of beatification to the hall. You don't need a soothsayer to tell you that great work was done to bring the hall into such shape. I chose to wear a jacket upon the gown which I was dressed in due to the cold out there, I would rather not shiver anymore. The weather was a bit nippy, so I decided to put on the jacket with the hunch to take it off while I get to the banquet entrance way. Duncan walks while I follow behind him. The environment sent a cold spill down my body, the faces of the wolves were bright and happy. There was peace at all, seeing the blissful faces of
Chapter 60Mara's POV I couldn't stand those words she said to me, how could my mom come to tell me that? Now Talia is better than me? I just have to leave’ I said to myself, I stood up even when my leg's drawback due to the weakness, I still drag it up.“I don't know, but I just don't want to speak to you again! I couldn't hold my tears where she sat staring rerunning at me, she wasn't remorse of what she said, she wanted me to plead her, but I am not ready for that presently, I just don't want the happiness in me few minutes ago she faded away so with that, hovering my shoulder I walked out from where she sat back to where I sat before I saw her. I sat on my chair, gulping down the bile on my throat blinking back tears a desperate attempt to stop myself from sobbing. How could I cry today, a day of happiness for everyone, especially me? Most of the people are still looking at me as if they were chatting something that has to do with me in the conversation, so I avoided all eye
CHAPTER 1MARA’S POVAs I breathed in the scent of the morning dew, I was filled with pure joy: finally, the chance to let Gretel run wild freely. Stripping down, I changed into my wolf form, Gretel and I surrendered to the thrill of racing through the trees. I glimpsed the reflection of my wolf as I dashed by a stream, a sense of freedom enveloped me, even as Gretel howled out her excitement at our run. I felt guilty at keeping her caged most of the time.I wanted to bring her out but I barely even had time to sleep as I was always rushing to one part time job or the other.As if on cue, my phone began to ring."Not again?! You promised to let me run today" Gretel whined"I'm really sorry Gretel" I said, "but we are broke right now and we need a LOT of money" Gretel groaned in frustration," fine" she said before turning to sprint back in the direction we came from. I had changed back to my human form and dressed up as fast as I could before carrying my bag and rushing off to work.
Chapter two Mara POVMy mind wandered back to the amount of money I had saved. I wasn't sure if I saved here and there on my paychecks, I would meet up and I had another issue to worry about , which is mom's approval.Thankfully the alarm I had set to signal the end of my shift went off, it made me rush to change at the break room before dashing out of the store, ignoring the angry voice of my boss.So now ,how do I get home after today's After today's mess? Usual subway ? But I really want to take a break from everything ,so maybe taxi this time ? I asked myself while checking my purse , I froze then . I guess I couldn't even take the break I wanted.

What the hell is this guy doing?I used my second hand to push the straying hand's away but the hand came back and I could feel a hot foul breath o
Chapter 3"Gretel, that man smells so nice."Oh yes he smells so heavenly. I wouldn't mind spreading my legs for him right here" Gretel responded, her voice quivering with excitement.Sighing, I calmed myself down and then stalked towards, lithely avoiding the bodies in the already overcrowded bar. I could feel his eyes following me throughout and it made me quicken my pace.Soon I was standing before the man. His eyes roamed my body in a slow and deliberate manner that clearly expressed that he liked what he saw. His lips curved into a smirk."Hi there." I said while panting. I wasn't sure if it was from being tired or having such a handsome man devour me with his eyes."Hi." His voice was a deep baritone that instantly made me wet between my legs. I clamped them close and slid into the seat beside him.He sniffed at the air before licking his lips and I know my attempt at covering my arousal had failed badly. He leaned forward till his mouth was beside my ear and I immediately tense
CHAPTER 4MARA’S POV“What did you just say?” I inquired, totally confused and dumbstruck.“You heard me right, Mara. Stop acting like you didn’t. This your reaction here is why I don’t like dealing with you. You always try to play down the situation till it suits your liking. I said you are getting married to our new sponsor. There! I said it again. Hope you heard this time around?” Her snide remarks or the fact that she said she doesn’t like dealing with me didn’t even get to me this time as I was too busy processing thewords I just heard.I was getting married? And that to with a total stranger who decided to wake up one day and sponsor the orphanage?“No!” I replied immediately.I didn’t even turn to gauge her expression as I turned and tried to leave. I would have been successful in my attempt if I didn’t realize that she had locked the door. She seemed to have anticipated my move so she locked it on her way back in.“Open the door!” I demanded as I turned back to face her. I wa
