[Svetlana’s pov]After eating the food I pulled out a fork to eat the brownie. While thinking thoroughly about every guy I had to tell one name tomorrow morning to alpha Zaro. However, only Raihan was aware of my past and the issues I had in the previous pack. Picking someone genuine was out of the window.Among all those assholes Zuhan was the only one I was drawn towards. And picking him would secure me a good spot. But deep down somewhere I knew we were not fated mates. He could walk out on me in future upon finding his rightful mate. Sahan and Asher were out of the question, one was immature and the other seeked revenge. There was only one option for me who could pull me out of all my problems. Raihan Zaro. He hated me enough and was willing to do anything to keep me away from his brothers. I was fully aware that he did not want me to go with Asher. The way he displayed the anger upon my words was evident. Back in Omaha, Alpha Blake was already finding me. Raihan was right, I ha
[Svetlana’s pov]The next day when I was done with the ointment a knock on the door snagged my attention. Immediately changing into other clothes I touched my thigh to check the wound. One of my fingers somehow got grazed over the ointment which went unnoticed from my eyes. After what happened last night it was obvious that one of my potential options would be on the door.Standing up and heading towards the door, opening it I spotted Sahan in front of me. “Good morning, babes!” He greeted me while leaning against the wooden boundary. The same smile over his face which I always wanted to snatch. For some reason my heart dropped as I was expecting Zuhan. Perhaps, somewhere deep down I was not ready to let him go from my heart and mind. Sahan glanced at my hand while grabbing it with his cheerful voice. “What do we have here? Did the kitten play with her little kitty?” It took me a few moments to realise what he meant seeing the ointment. Pulling my hand with a scoff I pushed him while
Svetlana walked towards her room, her mind was clouded with tons of questions. Never in her craziest dreams she would have imagined Lars to participate. Slamming the door behind her, Lana slumped in the bed making a worrisome face. “Why is he here? He cannot be here for me, right?” She couldn’t help but suspect his intentions for joining.Laying in the bed while looking towards the ceiling. It was the moment when Lana realised something. “I should ask him.” She stood up from the bed and lunged towards the bag. Fishing out the card which Lars gave her that day. Svetlana headed to get her phone, and Alpha Zaro brought her a new one. “Why is he getting hurt in this mess?” She couldn’t help but wonder and worry over his crazy antics. Dialling the number Lana waited for him to pick up. Instead, Lars cut the call which made Lana fret over the situation even more. Meanwhile, the alpha invited all of the guys to the dining hall. Everyone sat there in the tense atmosphere. The alpha and Luna
“What should I even do?” Lana mumbled to herself while heading towards the room. Taking small steps while being completely blank. Lana had no idea what was happening around her. She didn’t even notice Saikus walking past her with a smile. “How could Lars even do this to me? Why are all these guys acting braindead?” Lana was angry at their sudden interest in her. She perceived it as some sort of race to win her.Reaching her room as soon as Lana closed the door, Raihan appeared from behind. “What? What do you want?” Reflexively Lana stepped back while staring at his glowing golden orbs. Meanwhile, Raihan lunged towards her grabbing Lana by her neck. The impact was greater which made Svetlana back touch the wall. “Ackk–” Lana smacked him on the shoulder to loosen his grip. “I swear to the moon goddess, Svetlana! If you took my brother’s name I shall kill you right there.” Raihan threatened her while leaning in and growling in her face. Lana felt her vision getting blurry with the way h
“Are you implying about picking me because I have no feelings for you?” Raihan looked at her with a slightly shocked expression. “I had no clue you would think in such a cunning manner.” Stepping away from her, heading towards her bed, Raihan plopped there. “Impressive. And appreciated for not choosing my innocent brothers.” Intertwining his hands, Raihan glanced at her with a smirk. “But what makes you think so confidently that I will accept this silly little offer of yours?” This time Lana smiled and approached him. Wrapping her arms around his neck, the woman sat in his lap. For a moment Raihan was taken aback by her advancements. Svetlana looked straight into his eyes, making Raihan swayed for a while. It wasn’t a hidden story that the triplets felt the mate bond attraction.“Oh well! You are the potential one in the line for the alpha’s position. Zuhan has no interest while Sahan isn’t fit for such a big responsibility. And Saikus is quite young for all of this.” Lana rolled her
“So, you want me to take your name now?” Svetlana looked at him with curiosity to confirm his stance. Raihan smiled and nodded, before lunging at her. Slipping his hand behind her neck, pulling Lana into a kiss. “Shall I be more clear than this?” Raihan’s other hand travelled inside her shirt at the back. Caressing her skin and tracing the backbone, Lana felt herself getting aroused. Pushing him behind Lana chuckled softly with her hesitating body language. “Fine then. You should go now.” Raihan licked his lips and traced thumb over it. Heading out of her room, he was relieved about the emotional safety of his brothers. Raihan concluded the situational demand desired their arrangement. All he had to do was wait for Lana to inform Alpha Zaro about her decision. After Raihan was gone, she slumped in her bed with a pounding heart. “I have to tell Alpha Zaro right now. This contest cannot go on, everyone will get hurt. And I don’t want Zuhan to hate me for this.” Lana got up and headed
Svetlana headed inside when Raihan grabbed her arm. Twisting it behind her back, pulling closer right there in the arcade. Everyone could spot them through the giant glass windows which opened in the lawn. “Are you cheating on me this fast?” Raihan smirked while the corner of his eye twitched. It made Lana giggle inwardly upon his jealousy. “Are you jealous, Raihan?” Tracing her other hand over his cheek. For a moment he was taken aback by her sweet tongue and touch. Shaking his thoughts, Raihan composed himself and confronted her. “You want me to be, Svetlana?” This time she experienced a ticklish feeling in her tummy. Raihan pulled her closer while Lana’s arm was still behind her back. “Is that why you have been acting so comfortably with Lars? To make me feel something for you?” Smirking at her, he waited patiently.Composing herself she placed her arm over Raihan’s shoulder. Extending one leg and then bending it between his legs. Svetlana sure knew how to catch him off guard with
Reaching the resort, Svetlana and others descended the vehicle. Everyone took their bags while Asher picked up and dropped hers on the ground. Raihan was right behind him and smacked Asher, who in turn grabbed his shirt. “Hey, hey!” Both of them were holding each other by the neck when Lars tried to truce. “Easy there, guys.” Raihan jerked Asher away when Lars smiled and patted his shoulder. It wasn’t like Lars had any liking towards Raihan suddenly. He was just amazed at his switch of attitude for Lana and the matters revolving around her. Asher dashed inside while intentionally glaring at Lana who stood beside them. It was the moment when Raihan blocked his vision by coming to the front. Meanwhile, Lars and the other two guys enjoyed the whole matter. Raihan was being protective over her. Strange. As soon as Asher headed inside, Raihan threw an angry glare at Lars. The royal blood vampire raised his both hands in the air and stepped away. Bending over Raihan picked up her bag, wor
“Shh…it is alright.” Raihan held her face and tried to calm her down. “I am glad that you came here, at least no one can harm you here.” Looking into her eyes intensely, Raihan was elated that she was under his roof. The idea of Lana being harmed and harassed had already left him uncomfortable. “It doesn’t matter anymore whether you wanted us or not. Now you have no way out, haha. You are already mine.” Raihan smiled after a soft encouraging chuckle. He wanted to convey to her the utter realisation that at least he wasn’t going to leave her. “Don’t worry about anything, alright? I am here, your mess is mine now.” She nodded blankly seeing him convincing her. Svetlana didn’t wait for him to say anything further, leaping further she hugged him. “Rest well. You must be tired after stressing out.” He meaningfully winked at her. Svetlana smacked over his shoulder playfully while pouting. “You pervert!” Raihan sneered and chuckled at her, pulling her closer from wrist. “For you.” Replying
Her moans were getting louder while Raihan’s excitement filled the whole atmosphere. Lana was unable to keep herself in the spot while Raihan held her thighs. Seeing her making faces out of ecstasy satisfied him. Somewhere deep down Raihan was elated that he was the first one to get into her panties. With a loud growl he released inside her but didn’t pull out. “That was—damn!” Raihan chuckled softly while still holding her from butt. Whereas, Lana was exhausted and slumped over his shoulder carelessly. “Aww, love~” Making a loving pout, he scooped her and carried Lana to the bed. It was the moment when he noticed the marks on her back. Svetlana supported her arms around his shoulders while breathing heavily. Sitting on the bed while still being inside her, Raihan traced his fingers over those marks. “No–” Lana reflexively ebbed in horror with a yell, staring intensely in his eyes with hesitation. Raihan extended his arm to touch her cheek but Lana shrugged off his hand. “It’s alrig
Lana and Raihan laid on the carpeted floor with a white bed sheet over their bodies. Both of them stared at the ceiling without making eye contact. “That was—amazing.” Svetlana glanced at him only to see Raihan’s torso naked. The sweat beads over his forehead made him appear more handsome. Reflexively she extended her hand to touch his face when Raihan shifted his gaze. Holding her wrist while looking at him, Lana was caught off the guard. “I–I was just–” She couldn’t generate an excuse immediately. Raihan could see her flushed expressions knowing she was shy about whatever happened. “Admiring my looks?” Raihan bluntly spoke with a smirk as he turned over on his arm. Pulling her wrist with force, Lana’s breasts and hand landed over his torso. “You know–” He resumed, releasing her wrist, Raihan extended his hand and toyed with her hair lock. “You could admire me closely, all you want.”Svetlana could feel her heart getting out of control. She didn’t want to admit that he could move he
“Hushh, it will hurt when the wolf will bite.” It took a moment for Lana to actually get what he meant. A visible blush appeared over her cheeks as she averted her gaze. Raihan was amused by her sudden switch of behaviour and it aroused him even more. Smirking at her, reaching for her cheek, Raihan made Lana look at him forcefully. “Look me in the eyes when I am talking to you, Svetlana.” His tone wasn’t harsh like usual, instead it moved Lana’s heart. Raihan was now handling her gently like a blooming delicate rose. Svetlana could feel her body getting heated up, her heart beating in the ears along with Raihan’s fast heartbeat. He leaned in further with his lips barely touching hers. Lana’s irregular breath fell over his face making Raihan feel his dick getting hard. “Always look at me when I am feeling you under me.” Raihan’s whisper made her feel the wetness. Slipping his one hand down while the other rested on the carpet near her head. Svetlana laid under his silhouette with her
Lana couldn’t take it anymore, ebbing as she ran towards her room. It was hard for her to swallow that she was some prize. All her life she craved for attention, to be valued, to feel important. But this was not what Lana desired in any way. Leaving the pack was already in her plan, being trapped like a trophy was not in her checklist. Everything came down crashing for her as she didn’t want to stay. Things had started to make sense which made her hands tremble and steps to stumble. Somehow Svetlana reached her room and closed the door.“How could he do this to me? I thought he genuinely was concerned about me.” Slumping in the bed, Lana threw a pillow in anger. “My goodness! How could I be so naive to think that anyone here is actually my family?” Placing her palms on the bed, clutching the bedsheet in rage. Svetlana stood up and wandered, seeing the vase on the table. She picked it up and threw it to ventilate her anger. However, Raihan grabbed it using his sharp senses after enteri
[Svetlana’s pov]Ever since I had stepped in the Dark Stone pack my life had undergone a serious change. Having no idea why I was being targeted by every single person. It wasn’t even that I had some kind of liking towards the triplets. well, until recently but that too Zuhan was the only one I was interested in. At first it was Joselyn for assuming my curiosity in Raihan, her fiance. Later on, Priscilla also joined because she believed every single woman around them was her enemy. Somehow my luck, nature, fate whatever you call it, dealt with both. Until Asher joined the picture and didn’t leave my poor ass alone. Why did he have to lie about feeling the mate bond? That still raised the question in my head whether the triplets sensed it too or not. Nonetheless, upon finding that all three of them felt the bond. Alpha Zaro announced about picking only one guy. How was I supposed to pick one when Raihan was waiting to wring my neck?However, that’s when I decided about picking him due
After everyone was done with the dinner, Alpha Zaro and his Luna headed towards the rooftop for stargazing. Alpha Asher and his mother, Luna Mace, stayed there for some chit chat. Raihan went to his room to slip into a tracksuit as he was going for a run. Lars already wanted to sleep just like Sahan, who was the first one to leave the table. Meanwhile, Zuhan and Lana strolled towards the front side.Cool breeze brushed past them making both push the worries behind. “I am sorry about what Raihan said earlier.” Lana spoke in a shallow tone with her head lowered. There was utter hesitation and shame in her body language. Zuhan stopped his walk and head patted her. “There is nothing to be sorry about, Lana. He is my brother and I know what he means. You don’t have to feel guilty for his actions.” Lana was unsure what to say and react to his reassurance. However, she smiled at his remark and attempted to clear her position. “But still that was rude. And all three of you are now in front o
“Then what do you even want? Why are you acting weirdly now after setting everything up?” Lana confronted him while Raihan was holding her wrists. He had a lot to say but didn’t know if it was the right time to begin with. “Is there something on your mind? Do you want to do things in some other way?” Raihan shook his head and stepped back, releasing her hands he growled at Lana. Something was wrong with him.“No, everything is fine. You don’t have to overthink.” He spoke and stepped towards the window. Raihan’s gaze darted to the afternoon sky as he sighed. “As I said you have my word, I won’t back off from my decision. It doesn’t matter what the trials are and whomever is going to participate. You will pick me and I will assure it won't look like planned.” Raking through his hair, Raihan headed to the door. Svetlana could not comprehend the reason for his weird antics. In her head he was acting oddly for some hidden reason. Because there was no way Raihan could be in love with her.
Reaching the resort, Svetlana and others descended the vehicle. Everyone took their bags while Asher picked up and dropped hers on the ground. Raihan was right behind him and smacked Asher, who in turn grabbed his shirt. “Hey, hey!” Both of them were holding each other by the neck when Lars tried to truce. “Easy there, guys.” Raihan jerked Asher away when Lars smiled and patted his shoulder.
