I stick as much of my body as I can into the freezer. Holy shit, what is this man doing to me?I couldn’t keep my eyes off him and his muscular arms as he rolled my bike all the way to my place. It’s not heavy by any means, I never ride a bike I can’t pick up on my own in case it tips, and I’ve pushed it up that hill more than once, but he doesn’t need to know that.Those arms, dripping with sweat, and when he poured that water on his face, let’s just say he wasn’t the only one getting wet in that moment.I can’t hide in here forever. I grab some lemonades from the fridge and return to the garage to find Erik sitting on the work bench. He thanks me when I hand him the lemonade and I thought I felt Eriks finger linger on my hand a little longer than necessary. I put it down to my imagination playing tricks on me.I feel his gaze on me as I grab a screwdriver and start to remove the old fuel hose from the Ducati.“MaybRelated chapters
SEEING HEART Chapter 13
Harley When I arrive at the bar everyone’s already there at our usual spot, all except for John, which I’m a little grateful for. When they finally spot me, everyone raises their glasses and cheer. Ahh, my friends. I catch Erik watching me as I sit. Damn he looks hot. Ripped bleached jeans and a white t shirt stretched across his chest. Wow, he’s braided his hair into one long braid. Modern day Viking right there. “Bitch, you’re late!” Vanessa shouts slamming down a bunch of bills. “This week’s swear jar, three hundred and fifty bucks Harley. It’s a new record.” “Must have been one hell of a week.” Sam mutters into her long island iced tea as she looks from me to Erik. Jack stands up and takes my hand. “Let’s get you drink so you can catch up.” He grabs the wad of cash, and drags me to the bar. When we get there, he puts on his serious face. "Okay, spill.” “Spill what?” “What happened with you
SEEING HEART chapter 14
Erik I step out of the pub for some air and mentally reprimand myself for tempting Harley away from John. What the fuck am I doing?! She has a boyfriend. I need to hit something. “Erik?” The blonde girl from earlier looks up at me. I don’t remember her name; I don’t care what her name is. Maybe a night with her might cure me of this Harley obsession. Fuck, I’m an asshole. After today’s incident on the motorcycle, I highly doubt anyone else will placate my appetite. I wanted to take her then and there. Slip my hand down into her, pull her head back and sink my tongue into her mouth. I’m getting hard just thinking about it. I was so broken after Klara’s betrayal I pushed away any woman that came near me. I was going to wait until I found someone worthy. I know Harley was tempted, I felt her want to kiss me just now, but she didn’t, and I respect her for her loyalty. It makes me want her more, and we always want what we can’t have.
SEEING HEART chapter 15
Harley Well, this certainly is unexpected occurrence of events. I tried to get in and out of here quickly and quietly, but I guess my ninja skills are rubbish compared to the grumpy Viking. And now I’m on Erik’s bed, watching him search for music to play on his laptop, about to get high as a kite with him. I ogle him in his sleeping attire while he’s distracted. Simple loose pants and a white t-shirt; probably the most casual I’ve seen him. He almost looks like an approachable human being. Except for those giant biceps, goddamn, if this is what architects look like in Norway then I am clearly living in the wrong neck of the woods. I chuckle and he looks over at me somewhat amused. He presses play and the room fills with chill lo-fi beats. “Is this okay?” “Perfect.” Erik comes over and makes himself comfortable on the bed, leaning back on a whole bunch of cushions I’ve never seen before. "What kind of music do you like?” He asks putting a fluff
SEEING HEART Chapter 16
Erik I watched her sleep until I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I kept thinking about how wrong I was about her when I assumed she was just another vulgar woman in nice wrapping. Harley is so eclectic in her tastes and able to have discussions on almost any topic it’s such a turn on, and she asks interesting questions that lead to exciting trains of thoughts. Maybe it was the pot, maybe it was just her. When I wake up the next morning, Harley is already gone, and my sheets smell like her. The entire week I try to give Harley space. I can’t allow myself to get tempted to cross that line again. It’s near impossible with her. The best way to put a dead end to this is to make her dislike me, and the easiest way to make a woman hate you? Ignore her. It almost hurts me to do it, but it’s for the best. Avoiding her is harder than I thought it would be. After work I leave as fast as possible. I found myself training at Harry’s Boxing Gym every night working o

Harley Okay, I’m utterly confused. And pissed, I’m fucking pissed. I thought he was into me, then he snubs me all week, and then that?! What the fuck was that?! I have no idea what Erik whispered into my ear, but it rattled the crap out of me. If he’s playing games, I’m out. I don’t do games. I don’t care how unbelievably hot, and smart, and charming he is, I won’t be someone’s plaything. After I got a cab home Sam and Vanessa came over for pre drinks. We sit at my kitchen island and I pour us all a margarita slushie from my blender. We have ten minutes before we are going to be officially late. “So, are we going to talk about the elephant in the room?” Vanessa watches me for any hint of a tell. “What elephant?” I feign ignorance. “Uh, the hot Viking eye fucking you all bloody week? Duh.” “Harley?” Sam eyes me. “Spill the tea girly.” I take a breath. “I’m going to break it off with John. I was hoping to do it last week, but I chicken
SEEING HEART chapter 18
Erik I keep making the same mistake, over and over and I just did it again; I couldn’t keep myself away. I’m a fucking idiot, I tried the one thing I said I’d never do; tempt her away from her man. Now I’m marching home trying to get my head together. That moan Harley let out keeps playing over and over in my mind driving every drop of blood straight to my dick. It was the sexiest thing I ever heard. She didn’t mean to make it, I drew it out of her, and it drove me closer to the edge. Before they left their rooms, I had overheard Vanessa and Sam talking about their plans for the night: dancing, tequila, penis themed everything. Then they got to men and lap dancing my ears burned, and the longer they talked the more my jealousy consumed me. I couldn’t get it out of my head that maybe they’d be a bad influence on my Harley. I needed to keep an eye on her. Keep her out of trouble. That or if she did get into trouble, I’d make sure it was with me and not some gu

Harley As I hurry to get dressed, I catch my reflection in the mirror. Post tequila face; mom’s not going to approve of this. Must fix. Mikayla called me about twenty minutes ago saying mom fell down the stairs a few days ago and didn’t say anything to is because she didn't want us to worry. "I think you should come by, and you know, do the whole caring daughter thing.” Just like that my Sunday plans for introvert, recuperation, alone time are disintegrated. I was surprised Mikayla was up so early, until she reminded me that she was pregnant and didn’t have a drop to drink last night. Since I’m too hung over to ride out there, I called Marco asking for a favor, but he didn’t sound too fresh either. He said he'd take care of it and to just start getting ready. Marco. My sweet Marco. He’ll make me a great husband one day if I fail miserably at acquiring one on my own. It makes me wonder though, Marco goes through women like crazy, but I don’t th

ErikMarco’s Fiat 500 really wasn’t made for people my height. I was thankful when we stopped at the gas station, it gave me a chance to unfold myself and stretch out my legs.I caught Harley watching me trying to get out, she couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s like a clown car at the circus.”So far, it’s been a pleasant enough drive. At some point Harley dozed off, allowing me a chance to freely admire her a without getting caught.Everything about her draws me in. There’s an ache inside me that longs for her to be mine, though I don’t have a lot of time. I spoke to my brother Simon earlier this morning, one of our clients isn’t happy with some of the changes my temporary replacement is suggesting to the exterior of our design and is insisting I come back to personally oversee the project.As I wait for the tank to fill up, I watch Harley talk on the phone in the distance. The way her hair and dress blow in the wind is like something out of a painting. I could

SEEING HEART The End
Rue’s POVI bent down so I could be on par with the little girl, she was beautiful, I have never seen a little girl as delicate as she is, and she turned out to be this Man’s daughter. I didn’t even know he had a daughter, does it also mean he has a mate? Oh, that would be quite hard to believe. I thought to myself, who would be able to put up with someone like him? Someone who only thinks about himself and is rude and unbecoming like him.At least he is kind to his daughter, and that’s beautiful to watch. But then seeing her come to me was unexpected, she has the same beautiful eyes as her father but her hair looks a little bit different, probably better.“Hi, My name is Rue” I replied her“That’s pretty. Rue what? What’s your surname?”“Oh darling, I don’t have a surname”“But why? Everyone has a surname” And she is smart too. Her beautiful tiny voice was almost like a song to my ears, from all the children I have ever had to b
SEEING HEART Chapter 10
Kaizen ’s POVI have always known that mating with a she-wolf means you have to bond with them thoroughly, you have to submit your loyalty to them, you have to trust them, and sometimes put their needs above yours.At least, that was how it was with Tonia... I didn’t need to question the rules, I loved her. So giving her my loyalty and my care was never something to debate about.But this thing with Rue is not something I planned for, it’s not something I thought would be dropped on me without my permission.But if I have to do this for myself, my position, and Aleria, then I will. But bonding with her at the time does not necessarily mean trusting her or loving her.I will give her my protection. That should be significantly more than she bargains for. She will have shelter and my protection, and that should be all.It’s just the way it should be done, not the way I want this done.“The carriage is ready. We have to mov
SEEING HEART Chapter 9
Kaizen’s POVYes, the memory won’t leave and I am not prepared for it. I felt it was better to be on the road back to the pack than stay another minute in the same room with the little beast.Her innocent look never ceases to surprise me, and the frightening resemblance between Tonia and her is something I have to watch out for.“Give the girl a break Kai, she is not the reason why we are in this mess. We will find whoever killed Tonia and I will make him or her pay” Of course Marcel had followed me inside... I am sure he is also hurting as much as I do, Tonia was his only sister. It is the way he handles the loss, I am yet to learn.“It’s been six years already, Marcel! It’s been six years and I’m yet to catch the bastard! I only know him by his scent and nothing more. And to think I have not perceived that scent again drives me crazy! It’s been six years and all I have is a scent! A scent that might not exist” I was frustrated, I would go back t
SEEING HEART Chapter 8
Kaizen’s POV“What do you mean by that?” I saw the uneasiness in her eyes before she even got the words out.“Have you forgotten our pact?”“What pack are you talking about? I do not remember making any pact with you” she said pouting her round rose pink lips, she is killing me with her innocence. Or should I call it naivety?“Oh, so you are going to pretend that it never happened?” I looked over at Marcel munching down his food, deliberately removing himself from the conversation.“Master, what do you say about someone who doesn’t keep their word?” I saw him look away from his food and met my gaze, with his brows asking a silent question.’She agrees to be my slave if I saved her from a very unfortunate incident, she is about to act like she doesn’t remember” mind communicating with him.‘Oh’ I think he got the memo“The person tends to be very dishonorable and should not be taken seriously” He answered, making
SEEING HEART Chapter 7
Rue’s POV“Are you sure you want to go with them?” I heard him say from above me, this man that I have only just met! And he is already involved with almost all the embarrassing moments of my life. I wondered if he heard any of the conversations between me and the boys.To answer his question, I nodded my head, and then I shook it. I was not sure what I wanted to do, or what would be the best thing for me.Go with Adam and Luke and believe what they had not told me earlier or I go with a total stranger, someone who might be the end of me if he decides to take me into the midst of his friends who may be rogue hunters, forgetting that he and his current companion had saved my life when I thought all hope was lost.“What exactly do you want to do? You are confusing me. Do you want to go with them or do you want me to continue to stay here?” he said looking confused with the folds between his brows...He looked beautiful as I looked intently
SEEING HEART Chapter 6
Kaizen’s POVI have heard plenty people say that they feel rather invincible when they feel no one is looking at them when doing something out of ordinary or when they feel they have to do something out of the ordinary, that must be what she has on her mind to think I don’t know what she is doing finding her way to break away from my body and then making her way out of the house with her legs barely touching the ground. I stayed on the bed because of her, I wanted to keep her warm until she was not shaking anymore, I guess now she is strong enough to escape without taking a glance back at the ones who have just saved her from the brink of death.I have always been a light sleeper, apart from it being my wolf’s ability, it is something I have helped myself to learn from before I even became alpha and the ability has helped me in so many ways to even count, I have been saved from near death experiences because of it. And well, now I can also notice when an ungrateful
SEEING HEART Chapter 5
Rue’s POVI could almost feel that I was in a safe place even before I opened my eyes, it felt safe... Yes...And warm! One of the things I have been lacking in my life for a very long time is warmth. The body engulfed me, making me feel like a big wolf was giving me its warmth and I just wish I had the luxury to lay there forever and forget the very thing that had brought me there.I tried to make sense of what had happened the night before since it was obvious that I am still alive and fleshy and I have not been eaten by fishes or torn by animals because they see me as weak.If any of those didn’t happen, then I am probably in the hands of the rogue hunters, a fate worse than death itself. I paused, But why was I being protected and cuddled by a rogue hunter? It does not make any sense, I should either be tied to a wall or beaten or even tortured to ask whatever it is that I have done that I had become a rogue. I mean that should be what this moment shoul
SEEING HEART chapter 4
Kaizen’s POV“Kai, do you think that thing over there beside the lake is a human being or an animal?” My best friend and second in command Marcel, first announced but since It was not in a panic voice I didn’t want to think so much of it, he likes to trick me when we are off duties, but only because of those tricks, the weight of being too professional and the rules that bound my world has not affect our friendship amongst others, although I’m not complaining about any of it, I have had my own share of fun over the years so now I just let the rest fall Into place.We were out here to the cabin because of the rain, it has been crazy and tiring leading the pack through the week and I just wanted to run wild without expecting anyone reminding me of my duties.“Kai! I think she is going to jump!” Now, there was panic in his voice, I stopped removing the remains of my clothes then turned to see what he was looking at and truly a small girl, looking dirty, drenc
SEEING HEART chapter 3
Rue ’s POVMy eyes awoke to splashes of rain on my face and dirt around me, I was weak, no doubt, I felt powerless. I took a good look around me, the field was still as empty as I remember it from earlier that evening, the memories of his rejection hit me again but this time I was more aware of it, it didn’t come to me as shocking.I must have passed out for hours because it was beginning to get very dark, but my eyes adjusted quickly to the darkness evolving around me and my environment.To think I was still on the field, wet and dirty, it means I have absolutely no one on my side, no one who cared if I was okay or not. I had at least thought Riley would keep me away from the pouring rain and put me in a shelter, no matter how small, no matter how shattered it would be, and maybe a warm blanket would do, but nothing, I’m still here, drained, dirty and cold.I have no family, no friends, no worthy enemy even. I have heard you can only have enemies
