*Valeria*The truth was hard to ignore anymore: I was confused about Dominic’s behavior toward me, and for his feelings, too, for that matter. One minute he’s being all loving and caring, and the next thing I know, he’s already avoiding me and acting cold.I didn’t know what was happening, and I was starting to feel frustrated.Dominic had been a jerk for days and had deliberately avoided me, but he seemed to get jealous when Gordon was around, to which I found pleasure just thinking of his angry face. I mentally slapped myself. Oh, goddess! This was a complete mess, and I wasn’t sure how to handle it. It was pure torture!Dominic would come up to me and tell me how much he missed me and how beautiful I was. But when I tried to initiate a conversation, he would either ignore me or give me short, clipped responses.What was his problem? Why couldn’t he make up his mind and be straightforward with me?God, I was so done for the day. So when Dominic’s behavior had escalated furthe
*Valeria*In his presence, I compelled myself to exhibit strength, feeling irresistibly pulled toward him like a magnet. “It’s all because of you,” I heard myself say. Dominic raised a brow. “Me?”“Yes, you. I’m not going to wait until the three months are up, and have the hope that you’ll change your mind,” I snapped. ”You always made me feel wanted, but the truth is, you didn’t,” I said with as much bitterness as I could. “I’m tired of all your bullshit, Dominic, and that has probably led me to not wanting you anymore, so you should just let me go.”His eyes transformed into a dark and stormy hue, his inner wolf emerging with elongated canines and claw-like nails. “Don’t you dare lie to me, woman.”I stood my ground, despite the fear I felt inside of me. “Who said I was lying? All of what I’ve said is true. I’m sick and extremely tired of you, Dominic.”With a menacing growl, Dominic seized me and pinned me against the wall. His eyes were filled with a wild, primal intensi
*Valeria*He carried me to my bed, my back hitting the soft sheets. His eyes never left mine as his lips went down my neck, his canines grazing over my skin, and then down to the wetness that pooled between my legs.I shivered in anticipation, Dominic’s lips closing in on my center. He removed my pajamas and my underwear in one fluid motion and he was now staring at me with hunger, his wolf shining through his eyes.“You’re so beautiful,” he growled, and then spread my legs wide, his warm breath tickling my clit.When his tongue found its way inside me, I screamed in pleasure, his fingers teasing the bundle of nerves that made me jolt up toward him.“Oh, god. That part…! Dominic, I can’t.”I felt him press his hand on my stomach, increasing the pressure building inside of me. ”Don’t fight it, my doll. I know you love it.”He inserted a finger inside me and I bit my lower lip, trying to muffle my voice.“Say my name again,” he said, his canines now sinking on my inner thigh.“D
*Valeria*I stared at Caleb, trying to process the words that he had just said, but my entire body seemed to go numb."Samantha is here?" Dominic demanded, recovering much faster than me."Yes," Caleb said, obviously uncomfortable. "She showed up at the gate and demanded an audience with her mate the King."How dare she!My shock turned into anger at Caleb's words. What right did this girl have to come back here after all she did to Dominic and still declare him her mate? She had to be joking.I turned my attention to Dominic, nervous about his reaction. None of us could have expected this, expected for her to come back. And with our relationship still so new, I wasn't sure how he would react. I thought I knew him well, but I didn't want to be wrong.His mask was firmly in place though."Put her in jail immediately," Ian stated, looking pissed himself. "Refuse to see her. She doesn't deserve any kindness from us.""I would have to agree," his beta said with a grim nod. "She do
*Valeria*Pregnant.Pregnant.Pregnant.There was no way, I had to have misheard her words. I glanced around at the rest of our group, unsure if I should feel glad that everyone else looked shocked, or upset because they had obviously heard the same.The panic started to set in, and I squeezed Dominic's arm tighter.Even if she was pregnant, there was no way that it was Dominic's baby…right? If it was she would have to be showing more…right?My eyes drifted down to her belly as I did the math, feeling more and more nauseous the longer I went. Her belly wasn't sticking out. That was a good sign…right?Dominic seemed to conclude the same thing as me."You being pregnant has nothing to do with me," Dominic said, his voice showing his clear indifference.He was obviously holding it together much better than me. Though his words did help soothe me. Samantha did not look relieved though."What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, still playing the sad damsel role."It's none of m
*Dominic*My foot was tapping nonstop under the desk and my skin felt like little ants were crawling around underneath it, putting my whole body on edge.I knew it was too good to be true.Everything with Valeria had been amazing lately, and I had felt the happiest that I had in my entire life. Even thinking about her now brought a smile to my face.But then my smile fell as I remembered the reason for my restlessness.Fucking Samantha.My wolf let a growl out in my mind, but I shoved him back. I was just irritated enough that I didn't want to lose control of him for even a moment because if I did I wasn't sure what he would do.Yet I couldn't just sit at my office desk anymore, hoping for answers to come to me. I needed to do something, anything.I asked Val to give me time to figure things out and that's exactly what I would do.I was up and moving before I realized that I had actually formed a plan. My brain was still spinning, but my body knew what we should do and where w
*Valeria*I couldn’t sleep a wink after knowing that Samantha, Dominic’s previous Luna, who is the very root of his problem as to why he didn’t want to accept me before as his mate, is now pregnant with his child. I felt sick after I heard about it. I wanted to throw up. I was angry, sad, and confused. I didn’t know what to do.My heart felt like it had ripped out of my chest after I heard the news. Just when things had been going right for Dominic and me, why does this have to happen now? I felt my blood boil, and my chest threatening like it was about to explode. I paced back and forth, trying to calm myself down.Suddenly, the door to my bedroom opened, and Dominic striding inside with a solemn face. “Val,” he called out, and I didn’t answer.I didn’t even want to look at him.“Val,” he repeated, and grabbed me by the arm, forcing me to stop pacing. “Look at me, my doll.”“I can’t believe this,” I told him. ”Why is this happening to us? Just why?” “Val, please. Calm do
*Valeria* I kept my mouth shut into a thin line, my eyes boring a hole in Samantha’s forehead. I wanted to wipe that dirty smirk off of her face and have her dragged out of the room as she screamed for mercy. I inhaled as much air as I could. Oh, the goddess! I wouldn’t even be aware of myself being capable of such things if Samantha hadn’t entered the damn room. The Elders exchanged glances, many of them nodding in agreement. “Let us remind the former Luna of this pack that she committed serious crimes against His Majesty during her time as Luna,” one of them stated. “Such actions cannot be overlooked, and it’s not easy to restore our trust in her.”I could feel my nails digging into my pants as I tried to stop myself from butting in their conversation. Sane enough, Dominic listened intently next to me, focusing his mind on the conversation at hand. Moving my gaze back to Samantha, I watched her shift her emotions from triumph to sadness in one go. “Regret is one of the emo
