Just like how I imagined it, her lips are so sweet, so soft…As if possessed by something, I kissed Holly back and ignored all the warning signs that appeared in my head. I didn’t care what was the reason why she went to my room. I didn’t care why she kissed me. What were her intentions were. All I knew was I wanted her. I wanted her so badly and it was my chance to feel her. To have my arms around her small, sexy body.Holly’s arms were wrapped around my neck and my hands went to her thighs, lifting her as she wrapped me in her legs without breaking our kiss. A moan escaped from her when I forced her mouth to open with my tongue and kissed her deeply, passionately. Hungry for her softness. Hungry for her taste.I tossed Holly on the king-sized bed and she bounced, her body squirming with wanting. I smelled her desire…her lust to be touched and that made me more aroused, my body reacting to that wild, sexy look on her face as she gazed at me with her sultry eyes half-opened.I climbed
[What are you doing, Evan? She’s already in front of you! You have your chance to be mated with her!]I ignored the furious voice that echoed in my head.[What if she wakes up and refuses you?! What will you do Evander?!][Shut up, Leo.] I hissed at my wolf, [I won’t do that when she’s like this. I am not that kind of person.][It is obvious that the Moon Goddess arranged this for you, Evan. For all the good things you did for the peace of all packs in this land. This woman is a gift! And you are just going to ignore it?]I hate it when Leo gets hot-headed when he is frustrated, [Not like this, Leo. I can’t do that to Holly.]Leo scowled and I saw his translucent image at the other side of the bathroom. Leo is a black wolf with crimson eyes glaring at me, [I don’t understand you sometimes, young man. You are known as the most ruthless Alpha on many battlefields in this land. And yet here you are, getting soft to a helpless girl who already threw herself to you.][She is not herself.]
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]I wrapped and dried myself with a clean white towel while averting my eyes from Alpha Evan, too scared to look him in the eye.I was sitting on the edge of his King sized bed, in one of Dad’s luxurious extra bedrooms built for his special visitors who wanted to stay overnight in his Manor. Dad was a very proud man and all he wanted was to hear praises from his colleagues about what a wonderful and generous friend he was. And what Alpha Evan was using was the most expensive room in the Manor, more exquisite than my Dad’s own bedroom.That was how special Alpha Evander Edgerton was.And what I did was unforgivable.Of course, I lied to him. There was no way I would ever tell him I remembered everything about what happened between us last night. That every detail of it was vivid in my head. Every sensation, every touch of his lips on my skin.My face was red like a tomato. It was very embarrassing and not very me.I thank the Goddess and all my ancestors that this
What was happening?I followed Evans. I looked at his face first and saw him so annoyed by something he saw at the end of the hallways and that’s when I recognized it was Irina and Alec screaming at the top of their lungs at this fr**king early in the morning.“No! That’s so unacceptable Alec! I hate you!” Irina screamed, hitting Alec’s chest with the side of her fist, “I hate you! I hate you!”“Hey! Listen, Irina! What you are thinking is nonsense! I never loved that woman, you hear me?! Is rejecting her not enough?!”I almost grimaced. I felt like a cold knife pierced my heart and I was bleeding badly. Only it wasn’t blood that drenched me but tears as I fought hard not to run away and stay hidden behind Alpha Evan’s broad body. Frozen. Hurt.It was embarrassing that the whole household heard that they were arguing about me, and I wondered what Alpha Evan was thinking.“I don’t care, Alec! The fact that you are mated with that—with that—”My eyes widened when Alpha Evan stepped forw
“I have to go back to my room.”There was a hard expression on Alpha Evander’s face and I could tell he was not happy with what was happening in the household of the Ambroses, “Irina went to Dad’s office and I can’t—- I don’t want Dad to see me like this!”“Just like you told me, Holly,” his voice was husky, his eyes were sultry as he stared at me, “You are not yourself and your sister put something in the wine she offered you last night. I never mind whatever happened. I am just worried your sister would hurt you again once you go back to your room, unguarded.”My chest was heavy. The Alpha had a point. I didn’t know why Irina did that to me. Maybe she wanted to get rid of me so Dad’s attention would be hers again? Or Maybe she was so desperate and scared that Alpha Evans would insist on taking her as his bride? Because she thought I was still wolfless and Alpha Evan would reject me? And when that happened, Dad would have no choice but to give Irina to Alpha Evan.Irina was head over
[Two Years Ago]“Hey, I told you you can’t go here, Alec. What if Dad sees us here?” I smiled at him. We were hiding in the stable where no one visits at this kind of hour. Everyone was busy having dinner and the stableman was done tending on the horses. His return would be tomorrow morning.“Then let him. I don’t care. All I want is to see you, Holly. I don’t care if your Dad will cut off my head if he sees us,” he smiled at me, panting. He must have run his way towards here so he wouldn’t get noticed by the Ambrose sentinels patrolling around the mansion.I looked at his handsome face. A face I always adored. There was no mistake that Alec was the most handsome guy in my Dad’s pack and his pack. He is the only son of the Alpha of the Agarwood Pack and the most charming guy in this city. I didn’t know why Alec wasted his time with me but I could see the happiness in his eyes whenever I got to sneak out of the mansion just to see him in the stables.I was nervous I didn’t know why it
[FLASHBACK]“Holly! Is that—”My focus was on the potatoes I needed to buy for tonight’s dinner when Melinda, one of the servants who was a close friend to me pulled me into a corner and hit us behind a tarpauline. It was already four in the afternoon and the market was a little busier than an ordinary day in the pack. Maybe because the winter season was coming and people had to ensure they had enough supplies before the cold season embraced this land with its frozen touch.“What are you doing, Linda? We don’t have much time to—”But I saw what I saw and it was Alec with his huge smile walking in the streets of the Ivory territory, drunk and with a beautiful woman at his side. The lady seemed a little older than him and it was disgusting to watch that Alec enjoyed being treated like a baby with that random woman.“Who do you think the lady is?” Melinda asked, her voice so low that it was almost hard to hear, “I can’t believe Alpha Alec could do such a thing in Master Randalf’s territo
Alec was petrified while his hand was on his jaw. He couldn’t look at Alpha Evan’s eyes. He couldn’t look at me.Tears fell on my face. My whole body was trembling. I didn’t know why he did such a thing to me. I couldn’t believe Alec would force himself on me like that. Like I was some kind of scum he didn’t mind hurting.“I don’t want to see your face again,” Alpha Evan glared at Alec through his nose, his face dark and deadly stoic. I was shaken when he pulled my blanket and covered my body with it, “Let’s go, Holly!”That’s when Alec stood abruptly, his eyes were wide as if scared, “Where are you taking her?”“Away from here and away from the people who treat her like a slave!” Alpha Evan snarled, his eyes lit red.Alpha Evan dragged me out of my room. His eyes were sharp and darting. I couldn’t look straight at the faces of the confused and surprised maids and servants who saw me being pulled by the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. I hid my face with the blanket until we reached the r
