Izzy and Landon return to the house as the sun is setting. The instant they enter Landon’s room, Izzy finds her clothes being ripped off her body. She gasps at it, seeing that he doesn’t plan to take things slow this time.
“Wait, alpha…” she tries to speak in between deep breaths.
“Landon… I want you to call me Landon.”
Izzy takes a moment to catch her breath before speaking again. “My clothes…”
“I prepared a lot more, don’t you worry,” he reassures her. “I can rip one or two.”
“You buy clothes just so you can rip them off?!”
He pauses from kissing her and chuckles. “Tell me what you want, then. What manner do you want to make love?”
“I… I don’t know,” she starts. “I just want you.”
“Slower or not?”
“Maybe slower,” she answers. “We ha
Izzy makes her way to the packhouse, her head reliving all the things that happened between her and her alpha. Now that she’s away from him, she is starting to regret everything that happened. That kind of intensity, the things she’d done for him, and her desire to stay?! That’s fucking crazy and it terrifies her!!‘No, no, no, I have to calm down,’ she says to herself.When she reaches the packhouse, she takes a deep breath and pushes the shameful thoughts away. It won’t do her any good, especially when it’s her day!“Hey Izzy! Welcome back,” someone calls out cheerfully.Terrified, she turns to look at the source of the voice. Fuck! she curses inwardly as she sees Carter with a smile on his face. He gets up from the couch and approaches.And all the while, all Izzy can think about is how good-looking he is and how much she misses him.“It was… okay,” she replies, while trying to forget about how she thought that she actually missed this jerk.“He’s been waiting for you since very ea
Izzy wakes up in her bed, feeling slightly disoriented. She rubs her eyes and looks around her room, now feeling energized from the sleep.She checks the time on her phone and sees that it’s already late in the afternoon. Panic sets in as she realizes that she has wasted most of her Sunday sleeping!“No, no, no,” she mutters under her breath. She knows that this is the only day she has to recharge and get herself ready for another busy week at work.As she jumps out of her bed and hurries to shower, thoughts race through her mind. “Why did I sleep so long? I had so many plans for today!”Her anxiety grows as she thinks about all the books she wants to read, shows she wants to watch, and activities she wants to do.When Izzy finally finishes getting ready, she rushes out of her room and heads straight for the kitchen. She quickly makes herself some coffee and takes a few sips before grabbing a piece of bread and heading back to her room.Sitting at her desk, Izzy looks at all the tasks
As promised, Miles did arrive in her room after two hours. They walk for over half an hour until they reach a house that is located on the outskirts of the pack territory. Izzy has never seen this house before and it looks like it hasn’t been lived in for quite some time.“What is this place?” she asks, looking at Miles with confusion.Miles unlocks the door and holds it open for Izzy to enter. “This used to be the residence of our previous beta,” he explains as they step inside. “It was given to me when I become the new beta.”The house is not big but cozy, with a living room, kitchen and two bedrooms. The furniture is old but well-maintained and there are still some personal belongings left behind.“This could be your temporary place to stay while we figure out what to do about your living situation,” Miles says, gesturing around the house. “Besides, this place cannot hold four people, anyway.”She frowns at him. “I’m going to live here alone?”
After the scene in the kitchen of her new home, Miles offered to help her with the transfer of her things. They are still in the middle of it when Carter appears and offers his assistance as well.As they were finishing up, an omega approached them and mentioned that she was sent by Alpha Landon to assist with the transfer. Luckily, they had already completed the task by then.Once they are finished, Carter leaves because he knows that it is Miles’ day with her.Afterwards, while Izzy works, Miles moves around the house. It is only until the end of her shift when she gets out to ask him. She finds him in the kitchen again, preparing their dinner.“What are you doing since earlier?” she asks as she sits down on one of the chairs by the small dining table.“Ah, nothing much!” he says, clearly in a good mood.He then sets two mugs of tea on the table before taking a seat across from her. “That’s a new set of tea that I just bought,” he says, be
"Izzy..." Miles whispers, his voice barely audible over the sound of their breathing.She can feel her heart pounding in her chest, the butterflies in her stomach turning into a storm as she looks up at him. And for the first time, she sees Miles in a different light. Aria is correct, his features are handsome, so it’s not a surprise that he attracts a lot of women in their pack.Then, Izzy’s inner wolf screams at her and commands her to pull him closer, to close the remaining gap between their heated bodies.“I have always yearned for your love, Izzy…” he whispers as he touches the side of her face. “So, if you don’t like this, just push me, a gentle push is enough if the haze is becoming hard to control.”However, instead of pushing him, she raises her body to touch his and she hears him groan. With her need so pronounced, she closes the distance between them and their lips meet.For a moment, everything fades away except for the feeling of Miles' lips against hers. They're warm and
Miles takes his time worshiping her, the intensity in his eyes making her heart race faster. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and it drives her wild. She can feel herself getting lost in the ecstasy of his touch, unable to think about anything else except for the pleasure he’s giving her.“Miles…” she moans out his name, grasping onto the couch for support as pleasure consumes her body. “I can’t take it anymore…”But Miles doesn’t stop there. He continues to pleasure her until she is on the brink of orgasm. Just when she thinks she can’t take it anymore, he sucks on her clit and that unravels everything. She comes so hard that it feels like an explosion inside of her.“Oh!” she cries out as waves of pleasure continue to wash over her.Miles doesn’t stop there though. He keeps going, prolonging her orgasm until she's a shivering mess beneath him. When she finally comes d
Izzy wakes up to the warm rays of sunlight peeking through the curtains. Turning to her left, she sees Miles sleeping peacefully beside her. His messy blonde hair is stuck on his forehead and his arms are wrapped around her, holding her close.She smiles at the sight and gently traces his jawline with her fingertips. It was an intimate night. It was perfect. It was as if he was her only mate—then she pauses. Finally realizing what she’s been thinking about, her fingers freeze.What now? Now they’ve crossed the threshold from being friends and into lovers. What will she do once she rejects the mate bond with him and he would be in so much pain—that is, until he finds another mate?The mate bond only activates once a year. That means, he will hate her for a year. Will she be able to handle his hatred? Can she take being the target of the grief that she will cause him?She cannot! Last night was a mistake! She was being horny and gave in to the haze of the mate bond!And so, she withdraw
“Hey, Izzy, I prepared dinner,” Miles says as he peeks through Izzy’s door. “Would you like to eat with me before I leave?”The answer is a resounding NO, and yet, Izzy shifts her attention from her laptop to Miles. It’s late now. However, she finds the need to pretend that she’s busy just so there would be no more conversation with him. In fact, she already finished half of her work for tomorrow!“You don’t have to cook for me, Miles,” she answers as she returns her attention to her laptop. “Besides, I am still busy.”She hears the door open wider and she can’t help but look at Miles again. He is scrunching his brows at her, as if he knows that she is just pretending to be swamped with work.“Do you really want to pretend as if nothing happened between us last night?” he asks.“Not now, Miles.”He moves closer to her desk and places his hands on top of it—making it impossible for her to ignore him any longer.“What do—”She stops because Miles surprises her with his next actions. He
This time, Luna, the unknown being’s voice is scratchy, a bit deep, as if she is transitioning from woman to man and back to a woman’s voice.Izzy’s fear heightens and with a strength she doesn’t know she has, she pushes back Luna and closes the door. And the instant she did, her surroundings changed again.She returns to the mystical forest. This time, it is bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and the sound of crickets chirping in the distance. She looks around, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and apprehension, unsure of what awaited her in this dream world.There is a gentle whisper of wind and then she senses a presence nearby. She turns to look at it and then… she sees her. The Moon Goddess. Her heart pounds as she gazes upon her. She feels a sense of awe and reverence, knowing that she is in the presence of a powerful deity.The Moon Goddess’ long silve
Izzy makes herself some breakfast in the kitchen, relishing in the quietness of the house. Ever since she had mates, it’s rare for her to have a free day all to herself and she plans on making the most of it.As she sips on her cup of coffee, Izzy starts planning out her day. First on her list is an overdue trip to the bookstore. She loves getting lost in books and hasn’t been able to do so lately because of work and mates.But as soon as she finishes her coffee, she can sense Landon at her front door. She ignores him. He knows better than to come on a Sunday.However, as soon as she finishes her breakfast, she also senses Carter standing at the same front door.Worse, after she finishes washing her dishes, Miles is also outside the house. She takes a deep breath. Why are these men outside her door on a Sunday which is supposed to be her free and alone time?! Don’t they understand boundaries? They have their own schedules! Or do they think that no schedules with any men means that she
And Izzy has every reason to be apprehensive to when they are back at “their” house, because the instant the door closes on “their” room, Landon is all over her, kissing and touching her, all the while increasing her desire for him.He really never fails to make her feel like the most beautiful and desirable woman in the world. And she can’t help but marvel at how well-built he is as she runs her hands along his muscular arms and chest.“Don’t…” he whispers as he catches hold of her wandering hands.He kisses her and pins her against the wall. Instead, his hands wander down until he reaches between her legs. She moans as he gazes at her.“You’re so wet,” he comments.She nods as she spreads her legs wider. “Take me,” she whispers.“Have you been waiting for me all night?” he asks.She nods eagerly, unable to contain her desire any longer.
Landon growls low in his throat as he picks up Izzy, her legs automatically wrapping around his waist. He impales her with his shaft, causing a moan of pleasure to escape her lips. Her arms wrap around his neck, holding onto him tightly.“Tell me what you want,” Landon demands in a rough voice, desire burning in his eyes.Izzy’s breath hitches at the intensity of his gaze. She knows exactly what he wants to hear. So, she presses her lips against his neck, leaving small kisses along the column of his throat.“I want you,” she whispers against his skin. “All of you.”A deep groan rumbles from Landon’s chest as he tightens his grip on her and plunges deep inside of her once again. Izzy’s back arches as waves of pleasure wash over her body. She digs her nails into Landon’s back, urging him on as they move together in perfect harmony.His hands roam all over her body, touching and caressing eve
Izzy walks into the Alpha’s house, her heart racing as she follows Alex to the living room where Alpha Landon is waiting for them. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. Certainly, she won’t jump into his arms the moment she sees him… right?As they enter the living room, Izzy can’t help but stare at Alpha Landon. He looks even more attractive than before, if that’s even possible. His dark hair is styled perfectly and his deep blue eyes seem to be scanning her from head to toe.He stands up from his seat and Izzy feels like her knees might buckle under her. He is tall and muscular — every inch an alpha in his prime. He really looks effortlessly handsome in his suit, the ideal man she always fantasized before — that is, before she decided that she doesn’t want a mate.“You look beautiful,” Alpha Landon says softly, as if he needs air to breathe.Izzy blushes at the compliment and all she can say is, “Thank you. You are very handsome, too.”Alex clears his throat and says w
Izzy quickly changes into more presentable clothes and meets Alex in the living room. He looks her up and down before nodding in approval.“You look good,” he comments. “I don’t think it will be hard to find something that will fit you for the party.”“I’m not entirely sure if I will take that as a compliment,” she replies, slightly self-conscious under his scrutiny.Alex only smiles and leads her out of the house and towards his car.“We’re going somewhere far?”“My brother insisted on getting the best for you.”She snorts. “Because you think I will be the new Luna?”“You never miss things, huh?” he comments. “That’s a nice trait for a Luna.”As they drive outside the werewolf’s pack jurisdiction and into the city, Alex starts a conversation with her about her life. She answers politely but doesn’t reveal too much information. Besides, he is a stranger to her.“So, what kind of clothes do you usually wear to parties?” Alex asks, breaking the silence as they drive along a series of cl
Izzy stares at the spot where Carter was standing moments ago, her lips still tingling from his sudden kiss. She blinks a few times, trying to process what just happened.In all sense of the word, the kiss is really supposed to be a punishment. However, due to the blasted mate bond, she kinda feels like it is a reward instead… Even her inner wolf is doing a little dance for being kissed by him! No, erase that — How dreadful could that be?!Izzy shakes her head and tries to ignore the fluttering sensation in her stomach. There’s only two more days and she will have a free day on her hands. She can make use of that to think about all the confusing things.She enters her room and closes the door. She better catch up on her work and all her personal things while she still has the time, because she plans to spend her Sunday lounging around and just… thinking.**********************The sun peeks through the curtains, signaling the start of a new day. Izzy yawns and stretches her arms above
Izzy opens the front door and is surprised to find several maids standing outside. She steps back, allowing them to enter the house.“Beta Carter paid for our services,” one of them explains as they enter the house.“Ahm, thank you,” she says, surprised. “…I guess.”She looks over her shoulder to where Carter is leaning against the wall. His wet clothes cling to his muscular frame, making him look even more enticing than usual. But there’s also a hint of something else in his gaze, a desire that matches hers.She moves towards him, and with every step she takes, his desire grows stronger. She can feel it radiating off of him like heat.“Is this common for you? Having pack members help out with the laundry and chores?” she asks, trying to distract herself from the intensity of their desires for each other.“If I am busy and overwhelmed,” he answers in a deep voice. &ldqu
As they reach the house, Carter offers to help with the chores. Izzy hesitates, but she’s too tired to argue so she agrees. She is also afraid that her desires will flare up during an argument with him.“Fine,” she grumbles. “You can help me with washing the blankets.”Carter grins and follows her inside. “I knew you can’t resist my charms.”Izzy rolls her eyes and starts taking out the blankets that smell like they’ve been stored in the cabinet for a long time. She hands a pile to Carter, who takes them without complaint.They work in silence for a few minutes, until Carter breaks it by saying, “You know, I used to do this kind of thing all the time when I lived in the packhouse.”“Oh, really?” she asks. “Why did they allow you to stay there? You have a mansion, and your chain of hotels is not too far from here.”“The elders don’t want the
