CHAPTER 63. SCAREDRYDERI couldn't say a word, I didn't move either. My feet seemed to have stuck at a spot, all I could do was stare at them.The thumping of my heart against the walls of my chest could be heard from a thousand miles. I was perplexed down to my marrows. Weak and perplexed. Earlier today, I had a lot of imagination about this night. I pictured it to be fun, like a date night for Hara and I. We have random discussions over sweet wines, have a slow dance on the dancefloor, get to introduce her to my acquaintances, and then close off the night by locking ourselves in her bedroom and having a nice, enchanting fuck.I never saw this twist coming. I never imagined Roland to show up here and for Hara to wind up in his arms a few seconds after he showed up.I was itchy to go yank Hara away from his arms, but I didn't wanna create a scene. We had a handful of spectators, and it made me wanna be cautious of my next move. Evelyn had just created such a mess a while ago, I don
CHAPTER 64. GLOOMY NIGHTRYDERI yanked down her dress to her waist and her boobs sprang free. I groped them both at once, sucking and nibbling her erect nipples.“Ryder..uh…mhmm…“ She moaned, as her fingers raked through my hair. She was squirming against the wall, basking in the pleasure of how hard I was sucking her boobs.My tongue licked her from her cleavage, up to her neck, and then to her lips. The kiss was demanding, bruising, ravenous.I raked every inch of her mouth, sucking her up, giving her no room to breathe.My hand cupped her mound through her dress, rubbing it hard and her squirming increased. I wasn't sure if she was squirming out of pleasure, or if she wanted to break free from me. But I didn't let her go, I rubbed her mound faster, feeling her wetness through the fabric.Her firm hands on my taut chest gave me a forceful push that broke the kiss."I can't…breathe…" She gasped, fighting to catch her breath. I was so busy kissing her that I didn't give her space to
CHAPTER 65. AT HER MERCYRYDERI woke up at dawn and found myself lying on the cold floor of my balcony. I reeked of alcohol, and my head hurts from the crying and how much drink I had.I could easily take the pains away with my powers, but I didn't do it. I let the pains be, as they made me feel alive in an odd way. I got into the bathroom and had a quick shower. Darius showed up and picked out my outfit, I didn't say a word to him. We just did our thing in awkward silence.We headed to the meeting hall and went over a few things about the estate project, just the two of us. Tiffany showed up later with a list of potential human investors for the project. We spent hours giving each of them a call and going over the details of the project with them. It was until noon that we got done with it. “Finally, we're done with this. I'm fucking exhausted,“ Darius groaned, stretching out his limbs. It was just the three of us, the other warlords were still in the pack house.“Yeah, me too,”
CHAPTER 66. HARA“Who?!“ Hailey gasped, spilling her drink all over the place. Her loud gasp attracted stares to us from the customers in the coffee shop we were in. I clamped my hand over her mouth, shushing her, but she slapped off my hand.“Keep it down, Hailey, please,” I pleaded with her, wiping off the wetness of the drink she'd spilled from my hand with my handkerchief. She also wiped off the drops of the drink that spilled on the table.What a mess she made.We decided to hang out in a coffee shop that opened up recently, and we were having chilled, non-alcoholic drinks as I told her everything that happened last night at the Silver Pack party.I only mentioned Roland's name right now and she gasped like crazy, disrupting the peace of the coffee shop.“Wait, are you being serious right now?“ Hailey asked in confusion. I nodded to her, but she sighed, “I don't understand this. I mean, how did Roland find you? How did he know you were gonna be at the party last night? This whol
CHAPTER 67.HARA.I'm lost in staring at Roland as he approached us. His all-black attire made him look breathtaking and much of a hunk. I couldn't help but think that he looked more hotter and handsome than he used to. The shirt he wore hugged his body tightly, showing off the intimidating bulge of his muscles. He didn't have a ripped body like this back when we were still together. It seems like he has been hitting the gym frequently for a while. My throat has gone completely dried from staring and I continuously gulped to get it a bit wet. His whiff passed through my nostrils, striking up a few of my intimate memories with him. Memories of us, entangled in sheets and having the best time of our lives. Why did these memories have to surface now that he was not so far away from me? They're only making it harder for me to ignore him.“That's Roland, right?” Hailey asked in bewilderment and I nodded in confirmation. She scoffed, “What's he doing here? Is he stalking you now? How sham
CHAPTER 68. HIS STENCHRYDERTime seemed to slow down and the gust of wind brushing past us froze. My senses heightened as I took another deep breath just to be sure it wasn't my mind playing a fast one on me.I stiffened as the unfamiliar, foul scent emitted from her again. I'm not some celestial werewolf who can tag every scent to its owner, but this one was easy to do. Probably because I just recently met the owner of the scent again. It was Roland's scent, more like a stench, dammit!The jerk had a daunting, foul stench that's more peculiar to wild dogs and rogues than to purebloods. I still find it a bloody mystery that the jerk had more of a stench than a scent.I would have blamed it on my perceiving ability but I've never been wrong about a scent and I'm not about to start now.”Are you alright?“ She asked again, cupping my face with her hands.I blinked back my tears and fought to hold in my emotions. I never knew I could shed tears until Hara came along, and now, crying seem
CHAPTER 69. WRONG TIMINGHARAAdmitting that I met Roland today wasn't an easy task for me. I spent all afternoon bracing myself up for this moment, but it didn't change a thing. I'm still scared as hell, about what Ryder's reaction might be. I know he's not gonna hurt me, but I can't say the same for Roland. I can't guarantee what Ryder might do to him.Ryder dropped his spoon on the table and it made a noisy, clattering sound that made me flinch. His eyes darkened and held a deadly, glacial scowl. I had no reason to be frightened because I know he won't hurt me, but I was. Anyone would be, especially because of the dark shade his eyes just took.He leaned back on his seat, with his arms crossed on his chest.“You went to meet him?“ He asked in a hoarse whisper. It was more of a statement than a question, and I knew it was his jealousy speaking. It didn't make me feel any bit at ease though.“No, I didn't go to meet him. We ran into him…““Where?” He asked sternly, cutting me off an
CHAPTER 70. THE TALKHARAHis words reverberated In my head and got me instantly sick-pale. Hearing him mention my dead child did nothing but strike up the pain that I locked away in the basement of my heart.Tears rolled down my eyes and my heart sank into an ocean of bitterness. I sniffed back my tears but they rolled down even more. My fingers clutched the straps of my bag in my fight to keep my tears in check, but it was too damn hard. They wouldn't stop rolling down, I was weak against them as I couldn't hold them in.“Including our child, Hara?“ Roland asked in a pensive tone, coming closer to me. He stopped a few inches away from me, he was too close our warm breaths caressed each other.I couldn't keep my rage in check anymore. My emotions were overwhelming and I'll probably explode soon if I don't vent it out.I didn't expect my outburst to be this massive, but in the next second, I went ballistic, flinging my bag across his face and it slammed his eyes shut.“How dare you?!
