Puppy Love 89 Surprise
~Josephine~ Elaine and I spent some time together, but neither Oliver nor Liam had called us. It was three in the afternoon, and a sense of worry began to gnaw at me. I decided to visit Justin in his office, just in case something unfortunate had happened. Leaving my sister behind, I made my way downstairs to Justin's office. Upon entering, I was taken aback to find Sophia seated on his couch. Our eyes locked, and we gazed at each other in silence for a moment. My mind raced with thoughts of what she might be thinking. Did she view me as an adversary, the woman who had taken away her friend, the man who might have been hers if circumstances had been different? I couldn't fathom her thoughts, and I felt a sense of unease. Sophia had endured so much that it would be inappropriate to be anything but compassionate towards her. "Hello, Sophia," I managed to greet her, feeling a mixture of nerves and caution. To my surprise, she stepped away from the couch and approached me, then embr
Puppy Love 90 Happy Birthday
~Josephine~ The hall was adorned with colourful balloons and streamers that hung all around. Two beautifully decorated cakes, each bearing our names, took centre stage on the table. The decorations were exquisite, youthful, and perfect, clearly a labour of love. In the midst of the crowd, Oliver made his way towards us. He was dressed in a casual henley shirt and jeans, appearing relaxed and well-rested. I realised then that Justin had likely lied about sending them on an errand, probably to stir things up. I shot a look at Justin, who stood beside Sophia, wearing a triumphant smile. His eyes seemed to say, 'Gotcha.' I vowed to get back at him soon, very soon. He winked at me, and I smiled with gratitude. He did tell me I would thank him soon. I guess he was right. Elaine couldn't contain her excitement and hurriedly closed the gap between herself and Oliver, who was making his way to her. He hugged her, lifting her slightly off the ground, and they shared a romantic kiss. There was
Puppy Love 91 Accepting The Bond
~Josephine~ Intoxicated and engulfed by his scent, I let it pull me in as we kissed. Liam held on tightly, releasing a hunger he had held for so long, and so did I. I melted away in his arms, ready and hopeful he would seal the deal. Onyx wanted it, and I did, too. We finally broke the kiss, and Liam stared into my eyes, searching. Was he thinking I would reject him? Was that why he was nervous? "For you," He said, handing me the single rose, and I collected it from him, mesmerised by him, but something in his eyes said he wasn't surprised. His control and restraint said he might have had a lot of practice. "Did you know?" I asked him, and he made me sit on the comfortable mat he provided. He looked at me and sighed. Then, he searched my eyes. "I have known ever since you walked into the dining room in Mountain," he said, and I gasped. My heart was racing, and questions were rising. He quickly held my mind and looked at me. "I wanted to let it go, but I also wanted to get to k
Puppy Love 92 It Doesn't Matter
~Elaine~ Oliver and I had already suspected we wouldn't be fated because I was a Stepanov, and he should have sensed me when I turned seventeen, but it did not matter. The fated factor had never mattered, even though we heard whispers of people being concerned about what might happen to us when I turned eighteen, and we weren't fated. It wouldn't change anything, really. The fact is we loved each other dearly, and that was all that mattered. I had a conversation with my father a year ago, and we had made peace with it. Seeing the surprise party that Oliver organised for me warmed my heart. All day long, I had thought he had been insensitive not to call me and wish me happy birthday, even though Justin had sent him and Liam on errands, all this was happening. I wondered when they had the time to set the place up. Whatever it was, I was grateful for it, and I loved it. By the blue moon, I will be Lady Orlov, and that would be it. Spending the rest of my life with the man I lo
Puppy Love 93 Back In Greenville
~Marvin~ I had been in Greenville for four days and still had not met with Alpha Devin. It was hard making the trip, but Layla knew I would do anything for her, and that is the only reason I was at the holiday inn in Greenville, waiting to be summoned by Alpha Devin. I had yet to tell my father the situation, but had I known it would be this way, I would have remained in Grizlo and celebrated Elaine and Josphine's birthday before coming to Greenville. I wonder what kind of point Alpha Devin was trying to prove by this, but honestly, I was getting tired. I lay on the bed in my room. I had a long day working out and contemplated visiting the Alpha's house to see Layla. Luna Susan was kind, but I couldn't say the same for her husband. Alpha Devin wasn't mean or disrespectful; he was just overprotective, and it had affected Layla and me. "I am bored", my wolf Marco said in my head, and the feeling was mutual, but there wasn't much to do. I had exhausted myself in the nearby gym, and t
Puppy Love 94 Long Night
~Liam~ I knew my first time would be amazing, but I could have never described it. Everything felt good. The feeling was heightened, and what I felt as the mate pull in the past was a joke compared to what I felt as Josephine stepped out into the clearing. It was strong and intoxicating. I was nervous initially, but she helped me relax, and somehow, my appetite for her grew. We lay down and watched the moon. I wanted to go again, but I wanted to continue in our bedroom. I managed to look at the food and the cake, along with the candles that had almost burned out. It didn't seem like we would be eating the food. "Do you want to head back to the house?" I asked Josephine, and she looked at me. The sight of her was amazing, and I knew I would never get enough. Every time she looks at me, my heartbeat quickens, and I know she owns my heart. "I want to go to bed, not the party," She grumbled, and I knew what she meant by the bed. Interlacing my fingers with hers, I brought her hand to
Puppy Love 95 Desires and Truths
~Justin~ Two days had passed since Josephine's birthday party, and the excitement still lingered in the air. We all pretended not to know they were fated because somehow I figured Josephine would not forgive Liam for keeping her in the dark, but it was okay. There was too much gloom in our world, and spoiling what the two love birds had would be unwise. I knew Oliver and Elaine would be tying the knot by the Bluemoon, and even though I felt it was a bit too soon, I supported them. Oliver and Elaine had shown they weren't going to wait for the mate bond and get on with their lives. Somehow, I believed they would be alright. Maybe if I had found someone I cared about and the feeling was mutual, I might have done the same. But I had given myself time, and thirty was when I would stop waiting and try to build a connection with someone that gets me. For now, I needed to bury my nose in the job and get it done. The whole issue with the criminals had lingered too long, but we knew we woul
Puppy Love 96 Ruin Me Please
~Harper~ Adrian lay in bed next to me. He would be going back to Lumas today. Two days had passed since Jo and Elaine's birthday, and the house still seemed in celebratory mode. I wanted him to stay a little longer, but Jacob had called him for a job, and he could not defy his Alpha. Adrian got up from the bed, and I scrunched my nose in annoyance. "What's the matter, princess?" he teased me. He looked really hot with his ribbed muscles, abs, and sharp edge. He made me feel all kinds of things when he's close to me, feelings he was clear we weren't going to explore. I liked to tell people Adrian and I were okay, but we weren't. He hadn't touched me, and I knew he was contemplating rejecting the bond. He still saw himself as bad news, which was why I was desperate to prove otherwise. He still did the things I wanted. Visited Grizlo every time I wanted and stayed in my bed whenever I asked. Last night was the first time we made out, and it drove me wild, but he was able to control
