"Did you hear the news?"

"What news?"

"It's all over the TV. How come you miss it? You are in there, cleaning rooms half the time." Their hushed whispers completely stopped once Nora Desmond walked in. Something like a hollow imprint of a smile made them look even more suspicious but she had no idea what they were talking about. In return, she smiled the only way she knew how to, bright and beautiful. It'd put the manic-pixie-dream girl complex to shame.

Her wolf did wonder what they were talking about. She kept herself away, religiously so, from the news. Her father's gloating face appeared in her life often, seeing it on a screen would ruin what little entertainment it provided her at times.

The other screen, she was fond of. Her phone rang precisely the minute she left the house maids to gossip. Or work. Never could tell what they got paid for. But unlike her father, she respected them in ways nobody else understood. Well, except one person. The same who had been put on her det

  • Prince Alpha's Rejected Maid   Chapter 115

    Noah tore down the sixth tree, standing tall and proud in his path. In span of two weeks, he had lost almost everything. No one does that to anyone unless they want something in return. He was sad, affixed to anger that was turning into despair and his despair affected everyone else. Mikhail. Rhys. All the other elite soldiers, academy trained to be under his command. They had built an army foraging the most vicious group of them all. Suffice to say, it was a gnawing hurt, the one that ate from inside. To believe he was so blinded by his plan, by his ministrations that he couldn't see what lay right in front of him. And now, he didn't have that. Mikhail and Rhys still followed his orders. Sam led the trackers on a goose chase to keep them from knowing more details, the more people knew, more the chances of them turning on him. But at the bottom of things lay a heap-his dirty laundry. His lack of trust on rogues. His lack of understanding anything when it came to Vanessa Flynn. She wa

    Dust seeped in his white vans, sticking in gap in the toes courtesy of sweat. What was more prissy? That his vans now were hue yellow or that he was walking with a block of dust inside them? No. Curse the sweat. His tie-dye t-shirt hung on his shoulder, he had twisted, wind dried the thing but it was not ready to part with his sweat. It had been six hours since the incident. If the night could be so hot, he dreaded the day to come. Evan's back slumbered against the tree. This expanse of forest land was so different from home. He never thought he'd think it, much less so soon, but he prefered thick trees, canopies and tall ravenous mountains to desert. Never would he beg for operations so far away from home. In grand scheme of things, his parents would be happy he was calling Half Moon territory his home again, right? So they'd have to listen to him. He got up after few minutes' rest. There was a highway, of course there was, that led to nowhere. He had asked a passerby for some help

    Her fingers twitched and she tried to fold them under her lap but it felt childish. Skittish. In a way she didn't like. But the loud raucous man next to her was slithering closer with every bout of laughter he shared with his friends on the other end of the phone. Jodie had a bad first hand experience of ornery drunks and their fists as a child. She was never going to be completely comfortable in a bar surrounded by strangers and peevish men whom only one woman in this universe could like- their mothers. And this one specifically needed a lesson in personal space. A lesson involving fists and elbows. "What are you looking at?" The guy was wearing a tank top. Or a spaghetti. Lord knew. And his chubby greasy finger, from all the chicken fries he had gulped down had stained his upper wear, right on the pot belly. When she didn't reply, he asked again. "Hey you. What are you looking at? Dont you be looking at me. Not like that." She realised why he said it. Her expression must be betwee

    If he was here, he'd follow her. At least she hoped he would. It was a bet. A wild bet. All her instincts flared in warning to run and duck the other way, be the old school monk who got things done the old school way. With a team, a strategy, a plan. She had never been so reckless. Did she even know how he fought? Or if he'd injure her first and then strip her or her sneaky pocket knives? Why did the prospect unfurl excitement in place of clinical curiosity? Evan trailed her with perfect distance, fifteen meters away, distance he could cover in mere fifteen seconds if he sprinted the way humans did. She floated in and out of his direct view like she was testing him. Maybe she knew. He wanted her to know. The anticipation was always the better part of catching a prey. Literally and figuratively. He finally zeroed in on the moment he could come face to face with her once again, and this dance of light and shadow could begin it's climax. She turned to an allley whose entrance was cover

    The next ten minutes, the lone street filled with panting grunts, a deadly blur of one 6'2 man, careful and defensive and a 5'8 woman never tired of attacking him, deciding each other's fate with every swish of their blades. Subtle was not her forte, he knew she'd go for his shin first. It had the reverberating factor. The shin, the bridge of his nose. What he hadn't prepared himself was the jarring weight of her heel. She flew at him and he re-positioned himself, face protected, body angled, giving her enough space to carry out her attack but also to defend himself. He rotated back and forth on the balls of his foot. When she realized he merely suffered a few cuts, she went for the wall, like cats always do. He owed Rhys a drink. Rhys had turned him to husk because they were fighting in closed space and no one knew walls better than cats. It happened rather quickly. She used the concrete stack to thrust her full weight at him. First kick caught him in the shoulder. He didn't budge,

    Anger didn't begin to cover it. He was livid beyond belief. He ahd withdraw into his wolf there for a bief moment. She obviously hadn’t caught on or she’d shape shifted too and all hell would’ve broken lose. There was a reason nobody, not even Noah or the hired hand Simon sparred with him without precaution. His entire world spun on a singular axis when he fought His humanness bid adieu, without the physical tether his spirit soared as a wolf, his central nerves staved off the rational human mind to the furthest edge possible so there remained only animal savagery. He knew what triggered that reaction. It was her fault. She would be lying in the ditch back in that ally like a dried raisin. Her incense scent had leveled with him before he did something drastic. Which is why anger didn’t begin to cover what he was feeling. He noticed a slight limp in her left foot. It would swell and bruise the size of postal stamps, teetering everywhere. He had dragged her like a rag doll when she len

    Every particle of her body slammed from blank dream to dread in the space of a door lurching open and she was awake, looking, listening. Through the fringe of sweat matted hair falling in front of her face, some of it caked above her forehead. Sweat and blood. Her blood. Her eyes rested on the figure half way-in. Eyes groggy from sleep, it took them a long time to adjust to the light filtering from window blinds. Evan. Almost death. A bad foot. It was strange, the way memories reappeared like ants crawling in fissure to the sugar cube only to take their piece back in a single line. She recalled everything. He had put down two take-outs, a bag presumably full of clothes, the print said it was a local store, and a pack of cigarettes. He smoked? Why hadn't she seen a lighter on him before? And whatever happened to his hair? He was wearing a hat but she could sense a change. Like her eyes, her voice came out groggy. "What", she cleared her throat, it was sore, "what are we doing here?"

    If he was being an asshole, he'd go the extra mile. There'll be no demands, only give and take. Jodie pressed her fist to her stomach, which roared again. Weary of his sudden grin, which felt out of place, as if this was the only expression left in him. And he delivered it with absolute mastery. He threw a water bottle, which landed next to her on the bed. Sprawled on the linoleum floor, long legs forward, resting his back against the cabinet drawers."Drink. Eat. While we talk. Then you can take a shower." She gingerly picked up the water, keeping his eyes on her. With the first sip she realized how thirsty she'd been, she gulped down in three swigs. She'd later recall how and why he watched her throat with such fascination, if she lived. "Talk. About what? Which one of us is going to die? You know I'll choose you." She was playing it off. Because if he asked her anything, she'd probably betray Calvin. Anyhow, she might be his bodyguard, not that he needed one, he just kept her cl

    'Love does find a way afterall. No matter what obstacles are laid before us, if our love is pure, it will win at the end, no matter what.' Vanessa thought as a smile lit her face up. She was sitting comfortably on a couch, in a large sweatshirt that belonged to Noah, now her husband.She thought back to their wedding ceremony, it was a wonderful affair filled with laughter, love and hope. All their friends had come, looking clean in their dresses and suits. Noah had left last night, in wolf form, hollering and calling loudly to the moon. A makeshift bachelor party- a wild run in the forest and then some chilled beer at a cliff with a nice view. That left Vanessa to sit back at home, thumbing through her favorite book and smiling now and then. It was midnight when she decided to call it a night and go to bed- her last night as a single lady. Just then, she caught sight of a rustling figure outside the window. It was Noah, his hair windswept and his cheeks red from being drunk. He was

    She watched his face, less shy about its location on the map of her body. He was smiling to himself, mischievous, his eyes on his work. Small pool of sweat gathered at her lower back, at the dimples he liked so much. He was finger painting.She gasped, trying to twist away as he wrote more. But he didn't have to. "Noah...." Was she going to weep? She didn't want to weep. "Is that a yes or a no?" The wolf was relaxed this time around. Like it had gotten what it wanted for the time being, she knew the decision was equally human. "Yes! Yes, I'll marry you." "If you can stop snotting, maybe then..." She hit his shoulder. When he kissed her, on the psychic plane, his wolf appeared. Battered, strong, feral. And with him- a bond. It was a great shining thing, like a falling moon. An orb born of love tumbling in the creeks, in the meadows. She had only to catch it. And she did. With it came a smaller bond-Ian. Unafraid, she linked herself to it. The distance between them felt like sph

    The last thing she remembered was his claws digging in her ass, and their pleasure sated bodies a tangle of limbs. Where was he now? Not next to her. But he had slept, the bed held his impressions. Coming to herself, she blushed. His smell was so strong on her, hers had nearly vanished. She had an inkling that these were the signs of mating bond completing itself. Even he would smell more like Vanessa than himself. The animal was playing for keeps, and it wanted to be kept as an equal. She found him sitting on the porch stairs. She grabbed his shirt, shivered at how sensitized her skin felt, trying desperately to keep herself from looking at the spot of blood on lavender sheets. Thankfully, they weren't white. His marks, teeth, hand, claws pulsed in her body. Her body held his secrets more tenderly than it did anything else. He sensed her approach, straightening his legs, making space for her between them. She went, hiding behind her hair. His content was contagious. Bare chested

    The satisfaction coursing through him was so arrogant, so unfaltering in its ownership, her wolf quivered a little in fear. If he consumed her, would she live to see another day? Intrigued, he rubbed his jaw against the inside of her legs, her scent decadent, strong. He fumbled with his jeans before pulling them down. His wolf wanted to take. To turn her around on hands and knees, mount her, and when she'd arch her neck in pleasure, take a bite. It'll hurt but he'd share the pain. "Noah?" She was still here. Legs spread, waiting for him. He smiled. His mind was playing tricks on him, he won't take her like an animal. That'll have to wait. He suddenly dipped his head and she shoved a discarded pillow to her face. Which was a good thing. Because the scream that tore out of her was no human. Her eyes shifted, her wolf begging to have her equal measure of the sensations. His eyes still on her face, he licked her between her thighs. The tender bud begged for his attention, which in h

    When he threw up his shields, she was back in front of him. Tonight, there was no leash. She wanted to play, he'll abide. The wolf bared its teeth.... She shot out with a grin. Adrenaline shot through her, she was nowhere near as fast as him. But she could read his thought clear as a bright sunny day. Apart from the high of the chase, she was humbled by the trust. He lowered his shields to nil and let her in. She had yet to do that.He was getting closer, the wolf didn't try to hide the heavy breathing, his massive lungs resounding in warning because he wanted her to know when he was near. Claws out, canines protruding, Noah was no longer human. Not a single part of him. Heart raising hard and fast, she sharpened her run into the direction of lower range, a steep one her much smaller body could maintain running at. Noah's much larger frame would tumble at this speed, so he pulled out an old trick. He laid down and rolled like a barrel. Laughter bubbled inside of her. 'Nice trick.'

    "I am sorry I made you feel unwelcome. Consider this an apology." He kissed her knuckles, a small key pressed to her palm, the soft crinkle of paper-a note. She couldn't read his thoughts anymore. But he walked away with a purpose. Dusk clambered in the Nebraska, the summer of dragging afternoons fast learning to evade the gossamery warmth for autumn seeping in sycamore trees, yellow golden leaves ready to replace the greens. Beyond the moonbeam dancing stream, stood two peaks, protecting the land from the unknowns, so many unknowns. The peaks, they are not exultant, and they no longer believe themselves to be the instrument of some great intention. They are, but a shadow of those living beings looking up at them, creatures grasping at life with stained hands. Waiting. Hoping. Vanessa hid her gasp, swallowing the thick ball of emotion in her throat. A heavy weight ruffled the decidous low hanging branches in the trees but she didn't have to turn around to know who it was. Her soul

    Home.The black villa doors opened to reveal the place she had thought would save her from the mountain of debt she had buried herself under. The debt was the answer she had been waiting for, and apparently so was Silas. Greggory Flynn, she had kept his ashes in a thurible, had never given her complete answers. They arrived, to find Mikhail, Beatrice and Rourke waiting for them in the foyer. Vanessa was searching for Mrs.Kemp and her cupcake smelling apron. Beatrice looked healthier but the awkward distance between her and Mikhail didn't go unnoticed by anyone. "This here, little heathen, has more body count than me, brother. What do you say to that?" Evan dragged Vanessa from under Noah's arm to his side, strangling her in a side hug. Vanessa was beyond grateful. She didn't know how to break ice with Mikhail. The last time he had her tied to a chair in the basement, he had his reasons but that didn't make it okay. She didn't know where to go with him from here. She loved Noah but

    Vanessa shuffled inside her closet, her claustrophobia all but gone. She was done packing but not ready to head back home. Things felt so incomplete. In past two days, she had tried to access Calvin's mind but had failed. When all of them, Selene, Falkner, Silas, Noah, Evan and Jodie convene for finalizing border control policies she had to tell them. She wanted everyone to know there were others like her, the Communion will want a hard proof. "Come in." She knew it was Evan. "Hii. I am resigning. Consider this official." He had been in a jolly good mood, he always was when he worked on secret plans but this time, Vanessa knew it was about Jodie. His mind was a back to back movie night on weekends, filled with lewd imagery of things he'd like to do to her.The powers did have it's shortcomings. "Resigning?" His shields were up. "Yes." Evan folded his legs, sat on the newly purchased futon, which Noah had gifted Vanessa because she liked to sleep on the floor. Bed after thirty six

    He begrudgingly admitted nudity was her last preserve right now. She shifted but did a very poor job of hiding herself, the swell of her ass, small and pert with tan lines- he groaned- held his attention. Until he moved it to her shoulder. Stripes, more stripes of red, white, yellow, blue. What the fuck was it? How did she get bruises this bad? Before he could ask, she begged for a clothing. Anything he might have. He stripped off his shirt and threw it to her. She scrambled into it like she was on fire. No more inadvertent strip show, his cat saddened by the perspectiveShe knew what he was going to ask. It was always there, in the manner people stood, slightly skewed, uncomfortable of her reaction even before she had reacted. Scars. He had seen them. And she knew he won't let it go. "You aren't going anywhere until you answer me." Lonely, she wanted to be with her own kind after being denied association for so long.
