Hannah hugged Areston somewhat, and Reid’s mother hugged her as well. But she looked monotonous. Ares was holding her hand. “Are you alright now?” “Yes,” She nodded. “I am not injured. Reid protected me.” “That’s his duty.” She only smiled tightly. “Let’s have dinner,” Areston said as Evelyn pushed the wheelchair. Reid kept his hand on her as always and they went to the dining hall. Ines quickly rushed to her and so did Miguel. She somehow missed this kind of care. Reid’s family cares for her. She also misses her family, but she doesn't want to tell them and make them worried. “Uncle!” Echo exclaimed and quickly rushed to Areston and hugged him. “You are alive!” Areston was laughing and somehow, Echo their goofy guy made the room happy. “Dad, that guy was a casanova. Did you know that he was seducing every client just to get them signed in on proposals?” Graham said as Areston laughed. “That’s his job, so you wouldn’t do all of the dirty work,” Areston said. “Speaking of th
Echo heard the book drop, he dropped his shirt and quickly dashed out and jumped off the loaf floor. He approached the man who entered the room as the man turned around and bowed. “Why didn’t you ring the doorbell?” Echo asked as he looked at Ella. “The door was wide open.” The man said as he bowed his head. “My apologies.” He then turned to Ella. “My apologies, Miss.” Ella picked up the book as she walked around and stood behind Echo. “What is it?” Echo asked. “There’s a fire in one of our warehouses. Mr. Fabian is already on the site.” “Where is it?” “In the North Bound warehouse.” “I’ll be there,” Echo said as the man bowed again. Then, he left and finally closed the door. Echo turned to Ella. “I’m just startled.” She mumbled. “He didn’t make any sound.”“Hey, it’s fine. Let me check the door.” He headed to the door and made sure that it was locked. “You can stay here as you want.” he reached for her hand as he took her to his bedroom. “My bedroom is safer. The door is har
Reid took two more pills so he could sleep. He doesn’t understand his body. Was it a mating season for him? Was he in heat? Was he in a rut? Her scent was making him so hard. He tried to move to the guest room but his beast shifted quickly and returned to the bedroom, startling her. He mated with her again although she was tired. “I’m sorry.” He grumbled as Hannah only cuddled him. He shoved his face to her chest as she gently caressed him. He closed his eyes hard, he wanted to sleep. He wanted to give her space. But how could he when he’s like this? The only thing that’s left is his control over himself for not marking her. “I’m not a good singer.” She whispered. “Baby, you have the most amazing voice that I have ever heard.” She laughed as she sighed and just held him. “Let’s sleep, Reid. I’m really tired.” “I am so sorry, baby.” He yawned and hugged her. His body was still eager to have her again. Although he already had her, it was not enough. He wanted to marry her. But
Graham stared at his beautiful, Goddess-like mate. He was so lucky to have her. He moved away from her to admire her for a long time until she woke up and she closed her eyes again. She searched for him by using her hand. Between him and his older brother, he’s the most lucky. Reid lived a tough life, Reid always told him that he wished that he was a middle child or a youngest. So their mother wouldn’t control him too much. When Reid got rejected, he was the first one to hear it from him. He comforted Reid, but after hearing there was a girl who was also rejected at the same time as him the same place excites him. He said that he felt comfort toward her scent. He felt comfort from her voice and her presence. Graham remembered it well. “Could it be that she’s my true mate? Gray… she’s not that beautiful but as I stared at her face for long, she became like a Goddess in my eyes… She’s adorable… I think it’s love at first sight.” He doesn't know what to feel at first, but he’s glad t
Ella had fallen asleep in his bedroom where it was covered by his scent. She didn't know why but she was calm and peaceful. She borrowed more books as she planned to go back to her room but then, remembering the cats in Hannah’splace, wanted her to go there. The door opened and she was startled while she checked a few more novels. “Oh, hey, dear.” Echo grinned. He lifted a bag. “These are new books. I have to go back to the office since there are problems that we need to take care of.” She took the bag as he patted her head. “I’m here to check on you. I made sure to put food in the fridge…” “Are you going home tonight?” She asked as he crossed his arms and thought. “That depends,” he said. “I mean, what are we doing tonight?” She looked away. “I wanted to see Hannah’s cats.” “Well, we can check on the cats.” He said softly. “Really,” her eyes widened. He nodded as he took out his phone and dialed Hannah’s number. “Hello,” Hannah answered. “Hannah, can we get into your uni
Hannah was waiting by the porch for Reid. Areston received news that they had found her. It was ten in the evening andthey hadn't arrived yet. Mrs. King arrived four hours ago and could wait longer for Reid even though the mosquitos were on her. “Hannah,” Mrs. King called. “Get inside.” “It’s fine, Mrs. King. I’ll wait for RJ.” Hannah couldn’t stay inside when Reid was hurt somewhere. A car went into view as she got down the stairs and waited as it opened. Brett came out as she felt hope that Reid might be there. Reid came out with a sling on his right arm. She rushed to him in tears as she stared up at him. “Hey,” he reached her face and wiped it off. “Why are you crying?” She shook her head. “I’m not.” Reid hugged her with his left arm as she was careful not to hurt her.“I just felt that you were struggling… Why are you hurt? What happened?” “You felt that?” He asked. She nodded. Reid took her inside while Evelyn spoke to the boys and she had arranged rooms for them. They
She should have started doubting him, but Reid had never hurt her physically or mentally. But it hurt, half of her soul wanted to agree with Ian’s beasts. But it hurts. She was confused. She didn't want to hurt both, but it seemed that she already hurt Ian’s beasts. “I’m sorry,” She cried as she felt her chest tighten. She felt guilty which she shouldn’t. “Hannah,” Reid’s voice woke her from being in a nightmare. “Don’t leave me, please… I’m going to mark you if you won’t claim me.”“RJ,” She finally reached his face. “I’m yours. I’m yours…” Reid’s fangs elongated further as he gently pushed her head away to bite her. “Stop!” He stopped as she exhaled. “Your arm, it’s bleeding.” She got up and hugged him. “Fuck it, Hannah. I want you now!” He growled. “If that bastard messed with your head, it only meant that he’s forcing his beast on you. If I don’t mark you now, he’ll keep messing in your head.” She stared at him. He looked anxious… he looked scared. But she’s not ready. She
Ella watched as Echo continued working even at ten in the evening. She made him snacks and he thanked her. She sat beside him as he charmingly flashed a perfect smile and reached her hand and kissed it. Somehow, she felt close to Echo. He could only hold her hand and kiss her. He didn’t go further. “Was your work hard?” “Not really. I got used to it.” “Come on, eat this sandwich. I made it.” He grinned and took a slice as he took a big bite. He hummed. She stared at his hand on hers as she intertwined it. “Echo,” She called. “Hmm, would you still accept me even if I was a mess?” Ella whispered. “I know that people would think of me as a doll… but I don’t want to be a doll.” “Ella,” He put away the sandwich and wiped his hand from the towel next to the keyboard. “You are my mate. I want you. I need you.” “You know, Reid promised to bring me back to my family. But I don’t want to. I haven’t told him that I don't want to be back in hell.” She said softly. “And I~~I want you…” Ec
