:D
VERENAI didn’t bother to put on anything and now as his eyes fuck me, I regret it. I place my arms over my breast to cover them. Not that I need to. He has seen everything. But I want to tease him. He arches a brow at me questioningly. “You are blocking my view.” He says with a hint of annoyance in his deep voice. “You have seen enough of it yesterday,” I retort, crossing my legs to cover my pussy. His intense gaze burns into me as he takes a daunting step closer, entering the bathroom. He keeps walking until he’s inches away from me. The air between us is charged and it causes goosebumps to run down my bare skin. “It’ll never be enough.” He whispers and grabs my chin between his thumb and index finger. He pulls me closer and slams his lips on me. I melt under his warm mouth devouring me. His one hand grabs my wrists and lifts them up, pinning them against the cold tiles of my bathroom wall. I yelp as he bites my lower lip hard, bruising it. He swipes his tongue over it and my c
VERENA“No. I can do that myself,” I retort immediately. He moves closer to me. “But I can do it better.” I lift my head to meet his gaze. “I know. But not today.” I whisper, placing a light kiss on his lip. My words are the opposite of what I want. But if I let him get his way, I have a feeling I won’t be able to walk for the rest of the day. Disappointment crosses his features and I add. “When all of this is over, I'll let you do whatever you like to me.” He lifts a brow. “Whatever?” I nod. “Whatever.” He smirks and the darkness in his eyes makes a shiver run down my spine. My nipples turn hard thinking about the things he’s waiting to do with me. I don’t know what he’s planning but one thing I’m sure of—I’m going to love whatever he has in store for me. “Then it's a deal.” He growls before walking out of the bathroom. I take a quick shower, knowing that he’s still in my room as I can smell his scent. I step out of my bathroom in my white robe and find him lying on my bed,
VERENAMy eyes widen with surprise. “How?”Elijah pulls the one chair from the seating area in my room that’s close to the balcony and sits on it with his legs parted. He joins his hands and looks at me with a serious expression. “I have gained some information on Rowan. He is currently bedridden because he fought a battle against the King of Eroz.”“Oh, I see. Can’t say I feel bad for him,” I mutter with a light frown, and Elijah smirks.Eroz is another powerful kingdom like Fenrisa ruled by its Alpha King and has different packs under it just like us. Their kingdom is famous for its spices and Fenrisa had a peaceful allegiance with them, importing spices from them.“Why did they have a battle?” I ask. As long as I remember, King Rowan had a good relationship with the King of Eroz.“Rowan was found forcing himself on King Eroz’s younger daughter, the princess of Eroz, Miya Sallinger. Then he killed her.”I gasp. “Oh my Goddess! That’s disgusting.” My jaw clenches. How can he force hi
VERENAObjects that have some sort of strong emotional connection work well as magical carriers.I step out of my office and head to the living room where Ezra is watching TV with Dad. They are both watching some animated movie. Dad notices me. “Rena, come, sit with us. We are watching Finding Dory.” He pats the seat beside him and Ezra turns to me.“Mommy, look! The blue fish’s name is Dory too. Like our Dory.” He says in excitement and I smile. If Dory hears this, she’ll be fuming with rage. She hates her name but for some reason does not try to change it.I miss all of them.“Aw, is that so? Do you like the fish Dory?” I ask as I move closer to him.He thinks a little. “Mhm. Yeah.”I kneel on one leg. “Good. Now there’s something I have to give to you.”Dad looks at me and raises his eyebrows questioningly.“Give me your hand,” I say and Ezra does as told. I tie the bracelet around his wrist tightly.“Mommy, I gave you this bracelet,” Ezra mutters in a confused tone. “Don’t you lik
VERENAHe nods and shows me the round container he’s holding. I take it from him and open the lid carefully. My hands tremble slightly as I see a dark powder inside the container.It's the remnants of the Ashwalkers.“This is all I could get. The Ashwalkers fade into dust once they are killed,” Carlisle explains, and I hum.I close the lid and look at him. “Thank you. How’s Ruth?” I ask, my voice filled with concern. Because of the king’s men keeping an eye on me, I haven’t gone to Carlisle’s pack to see her. But I am planning to.His facial features morph into sadness. He shakes his head. “There’s no improvement.”My chest clenches painfully. “Let's keep faith. Ruth is a fighter. She’ll overcome this,” I tell him, and he exhales heavily.“Yeah.” From his tone, I feel he’s tired with all that’s happening. His pack faced a major blow and now they are coping with it. Unlike me, Carlisle had no one except Ruth who loved him. The others respect him in the pack, but they don’t know what he
VERENAMy eyes go wide. “What?! Mom was my uncle’s…girlfriend?” Dad massages his temple with his two fingers as if recalling the memory is too much for him. “They were in a relationship until Charlotte turned eighteen and she found out who her real mate is.” I gasp. “Oh my Goddess! It was you.” Dad nods slowly. “Your mother was conflicted. She saw me as her lover’s brother but then I turned out to be her mate. Her wolf wanted me and I did too. But it was complicated because of Regef’s feelings for her.” I watch his arms tremble. So I place my hand on his shoulder. “You should sit.” I lead her back to his chair and make him sit. I pour some water on a glass and hand it to him. He gulps the water in a go and sighs deeply. I am not sure if I should push him to speak further. This is far more complicated than I thought and hard for me to digest. “What did you do?” I ask softly. I won’t pressure him if he doesn't want to answer. “I did what was right. I told Charlotte that it's her
RAYN’S POVI can’t believe what I see. My brother is holding a knife before Charlotte’s throat? The woman he loves so much! A loud growl rips through my throat. “What the fuck are you doing, Regef? Put that knife down!” Regef’s green eyes that are the same as mine turns a shade darker, something sinister. Something that I haven’t seen before. “Give me the Goddess Gem and I’ll leave her, Rayn.” He says and my blood turns cold. “Have you lost your damn mind?! That's Charlotte you are holding!” I yell, hoping that he’ll come back to his senses. My celestial wolf is pacing inside my head, wanting to come out and rip him into shreds for hurting our mate. “Its Charlotte, that’s why I am warning you,” Regef growls back, “If you don’t want her to die then give me the fucking gem!” I am lost. How can he threaten me with Charlotte? As I stand before him, I see the lack of emotions in his eyes. No, there’s something in there. It's greed. Fuck! Why did I not see it before? “Regef, you ar
RAYN’S POVFrom our childhood, Regef always wanted things that were almost impossible to have. Being the younger son, he was spoiled by mom and dad. I am one to be blamed too because I did the same. If there was something he wanted, I’d present it to him on a silver platter. But now, I realize what a huge mistake I made. I created a monster. “Here, have it. I guess our love for you never mattered and it was the power you always wanted.” I spat and he glares at me. “Don’t make me the villain, Ryan. I am just asking for what rightfully belongs to me.” He hisses. I take out the glass box and stare at the red gem. “I wonder what this thing has that makes you go against everyone who loves you sincerely. “I mutter. “Stop talking and give it to me!” Regef yells, eyeing the glass case. I lift my gaze at him. “You want it so bad? Then catch it!” I throw the box away and his eyes go wide in shock. Maybe it's the lust for power that turned my smart brother into an idiot as he left Charlott
