CHAPTER 51 Cora’s POVI had just barely returned to the mansion and something already felt wrong. Really wrong. You know that weird kind of silence that feels too quiet? The kind that makes your skin crawl like you’re being watched or something? That was the kind of silence I felt.The moonlight outside did not even feel calm or peaceful anymore. It felt as if it was shining directly on me. Like a spotlight pointing right at me while I walked up to the front door of my father’s house. I felt small. Exposed. Unwanted.And then, the moment I entered, the first thing I was greeted with was a slap on my face.Vivienne’s palm hit me so hard my face turned sideways and the burning started immediately. It stung really bad. But what stung worse than my skin was my pride.“How dare you!” Vivienne screamed at me. She was standing right in the doorway like she had been waiting just for this moment. “How dare you jump out of your room like that?! Do you think this is some kind of joke young lady
CHAPTER 52 Cora’s POVI turned on my bed again. It was the fifth or maybe even the sixth time that I was tossing and turning. I could not sleep at all. My pillow was wet with sweat. My bedsheet was all messy. I was breathing fast and was shaking. It felt like I had been running for a long time.I pulled the blanket around me and hugged it tightly. I wanted it to make me feel safe.But it did not help. The nightmare came again. Ever since I returned to this prison they call a home, I'd been having the same nightmare over and over again.But this time it was different. It was a memory. A deep painful memory.“Kieran please stop!!” I heard myself cry in the dream.But of course he did not stop. He never stopped. He was angry.He pushed me hard. His fingers grabbed my shoulders too tightly. His face was filled with rage and fury. I slammed me on the wall making me fall to the floor hard. It was xold. IThe pain was unbearable as I held my stomach, and then the blood. So much blood.I fel
CHAPTER 53Cora’s POV"What are you doing Kieran?" I asked him, trying to act strong but inside me I was already afraid. My heart was beating fast that I fear it might jump out of my chest.He took a slow step closer. His eyes were dark and mischievous."Just paying a visit." His voice sounded smooth and calm like he thought this was normal."You need to leave now." I said it clearly. I tried to make my voice cold and icy.He tilted his head to the side like he was thinking."And if I don't? What would you do?" He asked me. I took in a deep breath."I have no idea but I'm sure I won't spare you." I said. I meant every word.He walked closer again. His smirk grew wider and that made my stomach twist."Come on Cora. We were good once. Don’t you remember? That night… when we first met. You were eager. You opened you legs for me even though we were strangers. I made you mine. We could do that again."I flinched. His words wwre hurtful as if someone has just slapped me. "You didn’t make m
CHAPTER 54 3rd POV Kieran stormed into his mansion like a man who was possessed.His shirt was soaked with blood. His own blood. There were deep scratches around his body Scratches left by the girl he once thought was his. The girl he could never forget. The girl who had just nearly torn him apart.Cora.“Mine! Mine!” Kieran yelled possessively as he slammed the door shut behind him. “No one else would have her except me.”He ripped off the stained shirt and threw it to the floor. He paced around his living room like an animal who had just lost its prey. "Look at you.." He heard a soft voice behind him. It was Lyra. She was leaning on the wall. Barefoot. Holding a half-empty wine bottle.Her dress was rumpled. The mascara on her face was a mess from either tears or alcohol. Her face look like she'd been crying. “Look at what she has done to you. You're bleeding. Panting. Shaking. All because of her. Her."“Not tonight Lyra." He warned.“Why not tonight? Huh?” she asked. “You only
CHAPTER 55KADEN’S POVIt was already past midnight when I heard the knock. It wasn't a soft knock. It was the kind of knock that sounded like desperation.I rushed to the door and my heart clenched when I saw Cora. She was a crying mess.Her hair was rumpled. Her arms were wrapped around herself as if she was shielding herself. When our eyes met her lips trembled.Then she ran into my arms. I caught her and I held her tight."I cannot stay there anymore." she cried with her face buried in my chest. My jaw was so tight that it hurt.I pulled her closer to me and wrapped both arms around her."You are safe now.." I whispered. "You are not going back there"She didn't speak. She just cried. "What happened?" I asked gently. "Cora what happened to you?"She pulled back just a little. Just enough for me to see her eyes. Red. Filled with her tears. That broke my heart into pieces."Vivienne.." she whispered.Of course."She let Kieran into the house.." she said. Her voice was shaking. "He
CHAPTER 56Cora’s POVWhen I opened my eyes the first thing I noticed was the cold space beside me.Kaden was gone.The sheet on his side was smooth. The pillow looked untouched. Like he had been gone for a long time.I stayed still for a while. Just staring at the ceiling. The pain from last night was still heavy within me.I sat up slowly and walked to the bathroom. The water was warm and I entered into the bath and took my bath. I thought it would erase all that had happened light night. I thought it would erase Kieran's touch on my skin. I thought but it just couldn't. The water could only wash the dirts off my body. It's couldn't was his touch off skin.I became irritated. I scrubbed my skin until it turned pink. Until I could not feel Kieran’s hand on my wrist anymore.When I came out I saw fresh clothes folded on the chair. That must've been Kaden.Even if he left early he still thought of me. That made me feel a little better.I walked down the hallway. Slowly. Quietly. The sm
CHAPTER 57 CORA’S POV I did not want to go with him. Every part of me screamed no. After everything he had done. After he stood by while Vivienne locked me away. After he said nothing when Kieran came into my room. After he let me suffer alone. I did not think I could even look him in the eye. He was not a father. He was a coward. A real coward that keeps quiet while ehis daughter gets hurt. But a small part of me. The part that still remembered being a little girl waiting by the door for her father to come home. That part hesitated. He was still my father. My real father. And maybe just maybe this time he had something to say that mattered. So I agreed. "Fine..i would go but for a short while." I turned my back and faced Selene. "I will be back soon." She didn't look happy but she nodded. I followed dad to the car he brought. We both enteres. The ride was quite silent. Not any of us said a word. I did not ask where we were going and he did not say anything either. But
CHAPTER 58KADEN’S POVI stood outside the door of the diner. My hands were tight fists by my sides. My wolf was growling in my head. He wanted me to rush inside and tear him apart for poisoning Cora's mind about us. He wanted me to grab Cora and take her away.But I didn't move.I had to hear everything. Every single word he was saying.So I waited. I watched. I listened. I tried to control myself as every word that came from Adam Brown’s mouth was filled with poison. “He isn't who you think he is. He is a monster. What if he is using you?”I almost laughed. I almost stormed in and turned the table over. I wanted to ask him so many questions. Where was he when Cora was treated like trash? Where was he when she was locked in her room and Kieran almost raped her that night? What kind of father stayed quiet while his daughter was almost ruined by her step mother?!The answer was clear.A coward. Adam was a big coward.And that coward was sitting in front of her now. Pretending to care.
CHAPTER 62KADEN’S POVMorning came and all I could do was stare. Cora was still asleep beside me. She slept well after I'd comforted her. Her body was curled gently. Her lips were parted as she breathed slowly. After what happened last night… after she climbed on top of me. After she rubbed herself on me until the force ripped us apart.I didn't sleep. Heck... I couldn't sleep. I wanted to leave but she told me I shouldn't go. She held me tightly. It was pure torture. My body kept burning. My cock was so hard it felt like stone. The ache just wouldn't stop. It was so bad especially now that I had tasted just how sweet she was even though there was a barrier. It was so bad especially now that I had experience what her hand felt like around my cock. I had taken a cold shower. Twice.It did not help.I ended up in the bathroom again. My hand around my cock. I moved fast. I moved rough. I used soap. I used cream. I used every slippery liquid I could. I gritted my teeth and tried not t
CHAPTER 61CORA’S POVSomething was poking me. It was hard. Warm. And was right at my backside.I slowly woke up. My eyes flew open.And then I froze. Kaden.He was right behind me. His arm was wrapped tight around my waist like he never wanted to let go. His breath was soft on my neck but his grip on me was strong and between us was his hard cock. Poking my butt.I swallowed hard. A shiver ran down my spine.I remembered the way he looked at me at the cinema. The way he tried to stay calm. The way he breathed hard when I straddled him. The way he never pulled back.The heat between my legs grew stronger. Hotter. My panties were already wet. The thin cloth stuck to me.I knew we could not do everything. The force would stop us. But… My body needed him. I needed something.Even if it was just a little.But now… He was sleeping.And I was very much awake.I turned in his arms slowly. I did not want to wake him. But the moment I moved his arm pulled me tighter.Now I was facing him.His
CHAPTER 60KADEN’S POVThat heat in my body didn't go away. Not even when we got home. Not even when Cora smiled at me and whispered “Good night Kaden” before walking into her room.I stood there. Her door closed slowly and I was already hard again.I knew I would not sleep. There was no way.My body was still shaking from earlier. From the feel of her on top of me. Her thighs around me. Her breath on my neck. Her gasp when she realized what she was sitting on. And the way she didn't move away.Fuck.I paced around my room like a wild beast. I told myself to calm down. To stop thinking.But it didn’t work.I ended up in my study. My hands were gripping the desk so tight that my knuckles turned white. I kept seeing her. Her soft cheeks flushed. Her chest moving up and down. Her eyes wide.I sat in my chair. Big mistake.My cock got hard again.The more I tried to think of other things the more I thought of her.I closed my eyes. I tried to think of war plans. Reports. Slime.Nothing wo
CHAPTER 59 KADEN’S POVWe had barely reached the car when I heard Ronan’s voice behind us.“Oi. Lovers. Are we just going to keep walking slowly or are we going to have some fun tonight?”Selene stood next to him. Her arms were folded but she had a small smile on her face.“You two have been through a lot today” she said. “You need a break.”Cora gave a soft tired laugh. Her hand was still holding mine. I could feel her pulse racing through her fingers. That moment with her father had shaken her. It had shaken me too. And now I just wanted to keep her close.“We have not done anything fun since we got to this pack” Ronan added. He bumped his shoulder on mine. “Let’s go out. Do something normal. Maybe the cinema?”Cora raised her brows a little. Then I saw the tiniest smile on her lips. That was enough for me.“Sounds good” she whispered.I squeezed her hand.“Let’s go.”---The cinema was almost empty. It was a weeknight. Just a few werewolves scattered around the large room.Perfect
