Aurora breathed in deeply through her nose to calm herself down but it was a wrong move because all she could inhale was his scent all around her.Her heart was slamming against her ribcage hard and fast. She counted backward to divert her mind from her palms on his naked flesh and the crazy sparks. She was completely aware of his heavy muscular arm on her waist.She wanted to squeal, jump out of his embrace, and ran back to her room. Instead, she closed her eyes for a brief second before she slowly grabbed his hand that was on her waist and shifted in his arms so that her back was to him but she made no move to get out of his hold.Maybe he wasn't expecting her to submit so easily because his body tensed up. He was still lying straight and she hoped he would continue to lay like that but he had other things on his mind.Within a second his body shifted behind her and she felt his arm snaking around her waist as he jerked her closer. Her heart ceased to beat when he pushed her hair up
His back was towards her and she was rendered speechless. The dark ink that marked the muscles on his back had her unmoving as she ogled at his back with wide eyes. A dragon. There was a dragon tattoo on his back, the head of the dragon inked expertly on his neck. His muscles tensed under her gaze as he slowly turned around. Her big ocean eyes gaped at him. Her eyes lingered on his hard muscular chest and then those perfectly carved abs. The brush of trimmed hair on his chest. He was just in his sweats. Her eyes slowly moved up when they finally met the onyx hues as he narrowed his eyes at her. A blush crept up her cheeks as she abruptly turned around giving her back to him. "S...sorry," She whispered, her voice evidence of her flustered state. She contemplated running and saving herself from this weird intense situation but for how long would she continue to run away? A yelp left her lips when her arm was taken in a steel-like grip. The door was slammed shut and her back was
He couldn't help but think about their incident in the morning. The way she barged into his room and the way she told him that she was willing to give them a chance.She just took one eighty-degree turn. What happened? What was brewing in her head? He couldn't help but be suspicious of her.Why didn't she decide to give them a chance before? Why all of a sudden?Not being able to concentrate on his work. He opened the screen where the live footage of his mansion was on display.He found her in the kitchen making dinner. She was wearing a huge t-shirt that was double her size with black leggings. Her hair was in a braid as she was drowned in cooking.Ever since he commanded her to cook and clean. He has been watching her through cameras. How she was nill in cooking but she was learning slowly with the help of Charlotte. She looked pretty busy at the moment and it was obvious she was cooking more than one dish.He kept watching her. It was late and he was still in the packhouse. He was
Aurora freshened up as she lay down on the bed to relax a little.Her brows furrowed when she heard heavy footsteps approaching. She barely stood up when the door burst open and her heart lurched to her mouth when she noticed his eyes swarming with hues of gold in them. He was mad.Did he find out she sneaked into his study?He closed the door harshly and then locked it causing her to flinch. Her heart jumped to her mouth."I told you not to get involved in this," his voice was calm but it was filled with raw malice causing her heart to pump wildly."W..what?" She stammered shakily.He never goes into the study at the mansion then how did he find out?Draken prowled towards her like a predator and she stumbled a step back. Her eyes went wide when he hovered over her like a mad beast and her back touched the wall. "Didn't I tell you to stay out of it?" He asked menacingly, causing her heart to squeeze in pain at his ruthless tone."I..I.. didn't do a..anything," She stuttered while n
He was in the packhouse in his study when he opened the live cameras to check on her. He saw her going into his study. He narrowed his eyes at the screen. How did she get the keys?He opened the other screen where she was rummaging through the drawer and she found her phone. So, she was looking for her phone.Anger surged in when he saw her going through his important files. He knew very well what was in those files. He always kept his mafia-related files in the study back at the mansion and right now she was going through his stuff.Was she gaining Intel on him so she could pass the information to her father? He was pissed. This explains why all of a sudden she wanted to give them a chance because she needed time to collect info to help her father.He felt enraged as he hurried back home. He was angry at her. But she looked so timid and scared as if he would yell at her and she would faint. His eyes snared her luscious trembling lips and he was unable to stop himself. His wolf was lo
She was sleeping peacefully. Her chest moved up and down with soft breaths. Her skin was rosy and smooth. Her thick eyelashes. High cheekbones, those fluffy cheeks. Those luscious lips. The chin which always jutted out when she pouts. He breathed in deeply, filling his lungs with her scent.The rough pad of his thumb softly caressed her cheek. If only he could trust her. 'You're trusting her that's why you let her keep her phone,' The voice inside him speaks. Sighing he lay down beside her. Grabbing her waist he cuddled her closer as he dipped his head into her neck. He closed his eyes hoping the nightmares won't come back.He felt warm and relaxed with her in his arms and soon he drifted off to deep slumber.Aurora woke up groggily and stirred in her sleep. Her brows knitted together when she felt the familiar weight on her waist. Her eyes shot open wide as she pulled the blanket up and stared at that veiny arm dropped on her belly. Thankfully his hand didn't creep inside her shirt
She stared at the smashed pieces of her phone with wide horrified eyes. A shriek left her lips when he grabbed her jaw in a rough grip and redirected her gaze to him. He was hovering over her like a beast as she tried to pry his hand away from her face."L...leave me..." She wanted to sound strong but her voice betrayed her with its trembling."Why?" He gritted out and with each passing second his hold was becoming brutal and painful as his fingers dug in her soft flesh with a promise of leaving bruises.Tears caressed her cheeks as she tried to get out of his vicious grasp.She punched his arm and even clawed but he wasn't budging. She felt as if her jawbone would crush in his vice grip.His free hand wrapped around her locks and he yanked her hair roughly, jerking her head closer. Pain shot through her scalp as her eyes opened wide, meeting with the darkest onyx orbs. "F*cking answer me!" He roared.She wasn't even able to form words, she was that terrified.Draken let go of her r
Aurora slowly sank to the floor. But the chains were small so her wrist was still in the air hanging with the support of the restraints.Her shoulders slumped as she looked around hazily. She blinked to get rid of the tears. Crusty walls which smelt like blood. It made her feel sick to the stomach.She blinked at the wall where several torturing weapons were hanging like a canvas of death. He was about to use one of them on her.Her mate.Bitter tears blurred her vision again and she let her tears fall.No one has ever yelled at her back in her pack. Her father raised her like a princess. Her brothers were like her Knights in shining armor. She was protected from this cruel world.And now here she was in the dungeons. The one who put her in this place was none other than her mate.Her chin quivered no matter how much she tried to not cry but it was not in her control anymore.Pulling her knees to her chest, she hid her face and wept like a child.She didn't even do anything. How could
