KEANNE

For the first time in my life, it felt light. Most times when I wake up, it feels heavy. I wonder why I am here again, still doing this. I wonder why I haven't fallen eternally asleep, why I continue to live in my misery. But today, it's light.

Beneath me, it's incredibly soft, and I can feel softness in my hair, on my chest. I can feel the fingers regulating my heartbeat, my wolf so calmly asleep. He hadn't slept in so long.

He was always up, trying to protect us. From my father. From the world. From the countless women I have been with. But today, it was like I was completely safe.

I slowly moved, my eyes lifting. Cora was resting on the couch, her lips half parted, her hair falling in front of her face. Without compromising my position, I moved my hand to reach her face.

She was asleep, her breaths low, her lashes moving slowly to show that she wasn't that deep in.

Slowly, I moved her hair away from her face, then let my fingers gently cup the side. She didn't move in the f

    CORAAlpha Blake was standing by the door when I walked in, his eyes squinted squinted yo a dangerously thin slit.I swallowed, clenching my fists before I slowly walked closer, my eyes low."I...""Why are you coming back in the morning? Or have I grown so old that I somehow didn't realize that you had returned last night?"I swallowed hard, then shook my head. "I am sorry. There was a mishap.""Mishap?" His brow raised, and he tilted is head t the side. "Enlighten me on this...rather convenient mishap.""Alpha...""I was hoping I would see guilt in your eyes. But right now all I see is a brazen audacity to cross me and take me to a level I fear we cannot come back from.""I was just...""I said, where the fuck were you last night? Who did you spend the night with?""It was a mishap. It was supposed to be...""Kiara," he said, meeting my eyes. "But you betrayed her and went instead, am I right? ""Alpha..."

  • Sinful Mates   Dead

    KEANNEThe shower in the office came on, and I waited, my eyes taking in the steam. I let my mind wander, my lips taking on a small smile. I could almost see Cora in here, her hair falling to her back, her hands sifting through the strands, following them down to the very elegant curve of her waist.I gave a small sigh and shook my head, then stepped into the shower, my eyes closing. Slowly, my fingers peeled off the buttons of my shirt, buttons that Cora had rid me of three already.I discarded the shirt, then let the world fall behind me as I darted into my beautiful imaginations, my eyes closing, the steam heating me up.After a while, I stepped out to the office. It was still locked. I had asked Angeline to. The bath thing, and even a mini closet had been incorporated into my office after I returned from Midnight Sun.Those rather dreadful nights that I couldn't bring myself to sleep in the empty house, the ghosts of the past haunting me, and the ghosts of the people I left behind

    CORAI suddenly took a step in, then pushed Angeline out and pulled the door to a close."What are you doing?" Keanne asked, his eyes wide. I turned to him, my chest thumping, my body feeling weak from the immense fear I felt. My heart felt constricted, and I struggled to breathe."She...did she really die today?"I saw Keanne raise a brow. "What? You were with me last night."I shook my head. "That is not what I mean. Did she really die today? That smell..."He turned to Kiara, then swallowed. "The police are downstairs, and we can't explain that to them."My eyes squinted. "What are we going to do?"Silence fell upon us, and Keanne stepped around Kiara, his eyes taking her in. I saw his face scrunch up in disbelief, and he slowly turned away, then peeled off his coat."I have to go down.""Wait. I...they need....they will need an alibi. You will have to...""I am going to take care of it, Cora. Why are you here, by the way and why do you look like that?"I couldn't bring myself to

  • Sinful Mates   A Tale of Blood

    CORAI stopped in front of the fountain, my chest heaving. My head spun with everything I had just learned, everything I had so unknowingly entangled myself with. My chest heaved, and I stopped, my bag falling in front of me.Slowly, I followed it to the ground, tears filling my eyes, blurring the images in front of me. My chest swelled with even more tears, and I brought my shaky hands to my forehead, my fingers burying in the tiny strands around my hair line."What have I done?" I asked myself. I don't remember how many times I have asked that question, how many times I have regretted everything I have done so far. My choices. My aims. I just couldn't bring myself to believe that the twist of fate written for me is threatening to make me regret my mate bond too."Funny, huh?" Keanne's voice floated back into my mind, and I closed my eyes, my lips quivering. "But they did say that everything comes with a price. For me, my power came with this. For you...the fact that you are not sla

    Alpha Blake was mixing coffee in the open kitchen when I walked in, and I stopped, my eyes wide ad I took in his image. He was in casual wear, a small crease in his brows. I just realized that I had never seen him go to work.He didn't look up to me till he was done, then slowly removed the cup, his eyes lifting to me."What are you doing?"I swallowed hard, my eyes unable to leave him. I tried to fit him into Keanne's story, my eyes fitting him into the man who had seen his wife destroy herself for his love, then ended up hating her. It was unfair, and maybe I understand why Keanne still sided with his mother.Because after that little girl and Keanne himself, she was the most innocent in all of this.I swallowed hard and took a few steps back as he started to walk towards me, and he raised a small brow."Weird. I thought you were waiting for me."I swallowed again, then raked my hands through my hair, pushing the strands back into a ponytail that was more or less nonexistent by now

  • Sinful Mates   The Woman

    KEANNEI watched the door she had left open on her way out, my eyes thin. Maybe that is what I wanted. Maybe all this time I had been too hesitant to force her to stay with me because I knew she would not be able to handle it. Once she saw what I am, once she knew me for what my scars hold, she would run. Just like now.I smiled a little, then walked to the door, gently closing it. My hand stayed on the cold metal, and my eyes closed, my body weakening. I did wonder if she had seen how scared I actually was. I wondered if she saw me flinch, if she saw how hard I was trying to get drunk because I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep without it tonight.I leaned on the door, my eyes closed, my body weakening. I could barely still hold myself up, and I slowly let myself fall to the floor.I brought my knees to myself, and my hands wrapped around me, my eyes wide. I could see the little five year old from over two decades ago, the one that had gone under his bed, his knees close to him, his h

    CORAI turned to the glass window, my eyes wide. It was a starless night, and the moon was only left to a very slim crescent. I swallowed, feeling tears well up in my eyes.I wondered what Keanne had done after I had left. What he had felt. How he had looked. I wondered if he would want to see me again, if he would want to continue with this mate bond. If he wanted to look at me the same way.I know I may be asking too much from a mate bond I had done absolutely nothing to preserve, but I hoped when morning came and I go to that office, he would look at me as tenderly as he had when hr had thought I was asleep.That look had only made me even greedier, making me wonder howbhr would look at me when I actually stood by him. Making me wonder how it would be to be the only woman in his life. The woman he took to his bed. The woman he took to the shower. The woman whose forehead he leaned on the side of the bed to kiss. The woman whose body his fingers studied like braille.I closed my eye

    KEANNEMy eyes closed as the water pelted down on me, the sold seeping into my skin. I let my lips part, as everything inside of me stung. My heart stung, my fingers too.I needed to sleep. Needed to forget. I needed to leave to where all of this wouldn't matter. To where it could all fade away. I sighed, then brought my hands to my hair, then pushed it back. My fingers reached for the shower and I turned it off, but stood there, my eyes still closed.I needed to run. But how can you run from something you are? How can I run from my very own existence?I swallowed, then grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist, then walked out of the shower.CORAI turned to him once he emerged, my eyes wide. His hair fell back, but a few unruly strands fell in front of his face, darkening his eyes under the strandy shadows. I swallowed, blinking a little.I remember I never got to have this view, since the first time I got close, it didn't happen, and I didn't see hinnfor a year after that.Rig

    Angeline arranged the gown around my feet, her smile small. She raised her head and then rested her hand on my stomach."You look absolutely beautiful," she whispered, smiling, her eyes crinkling at the sides."Thank you," I replied, then gave a small sigh. I was five months gone already, and I had a bulge. I looked into the mirror, my eyes squinting.It was all so beautiful. Angekine, our soon to be born baby."Are you okay?" I asked her, my eyes watching her. I saw her smile falter a little, but she nodded. "Yes. Thank you."I smiled and slowly turned away. After that birthday, a lot of things have become a little different. All of us had come out of it a little scarred, and even though Alpha Blake was given the death sentence, it had only made things a little sadder. I knew, left to Keanne and Angeline, they would have wanted a complete family with their father. It wasn't possible. At least not now, close to six months after his execution.I sighed, just as I heard the chords st

    "Angeline!" Keanne yelled, and I immediately ran the short distance. Alpha Blake was on the floor. The drinks spilt around him, blood on his mouth and the white suit. Angeline was to his right, on the floor, her hair sprawled all over her.Aylen was on the ground, too, completely numb. And I wasn't sure who to attend to first.I ran to Aylen, but he wasn't moving at all. I immediately went to Angeline, my hands trembling. We had expected Alpha Blake's revenge, but never did we think he could lay a hand on Angeline. Never did we think he could want to have the cure so badly.Aylen was hurt, and he hadn't even healed Angeline yet.I turned to Keanne, who had now come to Aylen's side and turned him over.Aylen wasn't moving still.In one desperate attempt, I turned Angeline over, my hand reaching for her chest. I immediately started to pump, my lips sucked in, beads of perspiration covering my forehead. We couldn't lose her. Not after such a beautiful two days. Not when we were starting

    "Blake," Keanne said, immediately pushing me behind him. I saw Aylen do the same, and I saw Angeline cling to his jacket, her eyes wide."You weren't content with just your betrayal. You had to force her to betray me, too? You had to take my daughter from me too?!"Keanne sighed, then took a step forward, daring Alpha Blake. "Betrayal? Is there a betrayal bigger than the one you meted out to your family? Is there a betrayal bigger than the one you gave to your pack?""Oh, shut up," Alpha Blake said, waving the gun. "Those omegas, you... you are all pure evil.""Blake," a member of the pack, Alpha Zane said, standing up. "If you want to put up a clown show, find a circus. This is neither the right place nor the right time to show everyone how much of a crackhead you have become."Alpha Blake froze before he slowly turned to Alpha Zane. "How about we start with you, then? Little bitch."Before any of us could speak, he levelled the gun at Alpha Zane who didn't even flinch, his eyes narro

  • Sinful Mates   The Mate of Darkness

    CORAI woke up to Keanne running his fingers slowly on my arm, his head propped up on the other arm."What are you doing?"He sighed. "Admiring my wife. What's wrong with that?"I turned to watch him, then gave a small sigh. "No, you are panicking."He stopped, watching me for a long time, then broke into a smile. Without a word, he leaned and placed a small kiss on my lips."I am scared for my sister. And Aylen."I nodded understandably. "I know. And you have every right to be. Alpha Blake is unpredictable, and I hope he doesn't do anything."Keanne sighed. "We just have to do this. We have to do this to ensure our happy endings. All four of us. I want to be a father, Cora. I want to watch Angeline be rid of the darkness she had to live with just so I could become overpowered. I swear. There is nothing I want more. I look at her as she watches Aylen, and she looks like I know I do when you are here."I smiled. "I know. But I don't think Alpha Blake would do anything to her."His brows

  • Sinful Mates   A Day Before

    CORA"Good morning," I said, moving to bury my face in Keanne's chest."Morning sweetheart," he grumbled, then moved a little. "How are you?"I sighed and then moved again, my hand coming to cover my face. "Tired. And we are not even halfway through the decor."He gave a sigh. "They will come fix it, don't worry. Want me to take you up?"I sighed, then sat up, looking around. Aylen and Angeline's blankets were on the floor, but they were nowhere to be found."Where did they go?" I asked, my voice still a little sleepy, but a lot more awake now.Keanne straightened, his eyes squinting. "Do you think they...""Made breakfast?" Came Angeline's voice, hardly contained with excitement."Yes, we did. Good morning, sleepy love birds." Aylen made a face at Keanne, who wasted no time to return it. It was crazy how much of children they could be when the situation wasn't forcing them to be adults.I smiled, then adjusted, my eyes falling on the large baking dish Angeline was holding."That smell

    CORABy the time I got back down, the lights were turned off, and the decorative bulbs were turned on everywhere, Keanne, Angeline, and Aylen sitting around it. I walked to Angeline and handed her the blanket, a small smile on my lips."Here," I said, stretching my hand out to her.She looked up, then gave a slow nod and accepted it. "Thank you."Keanne tapped the space beside him, and I went over, then sat down, putting the blanket on my lap."What can I say? At least Aylen can breaathe now.""Stop," Aylen said, his eyes wide, his cheeks immediately reddening. We all burst into laughter, including Angeline, and he simply melted into her shoulder to hide his embarrassment. They were extremely beautiful, and I hoped they wouldn't have to go through the roller coasters that we did."Does Blake know you left?" Keanne asked when everywhere quieted down, his eyes lifting to meet hers.She swallowed. "He was... losing it.""Losing it?" I asked the question for everyone.She nodded. "He wa te

    CORAKeanne held on to my thigh as he slowly drove. The silence was a little awkward, and I kept turning to Angeline and Aylen in the back seat. Aylen seemed pretty comfortable, while Angeline kept turning to him, her eyes big with adoration. It reminded me of myself and Keanne once.I gave a small smile, then slowly turned back to the front. Angeline would still be going back home, so we would drop her a few metres away from Alpha's place. We stopped, and Keanne turned to her, then gave her a small smile."If you need Aylen, he is with me now."She slowly nodded. "Thank you." Her voice was low, and she turned to Aylen. He said nothing, then went out and went around to open the door for her."We look forward to seeing you at the party, Angeline."She turned to me, then slowly nodded. My smile brightened, and she tried to return it. I understood her and knew she would need some more time to get used to us. She didn't need to get used to Blake since he didn't love her anyway. I watched

    "She is here," Keanne whispered with a small chuckle. I looked down at him, and he looked to be enjoying it."You like this, don't you?""Mhm," he laughed again, then slowly helped me out of the lake. "Aren't you curious how Angeline is when she is in love?"I shrugged. "I mean, I am, but... well..." I trailed off. "I mean, well, when I first went to the office, I thought she had a thing for you."He turned to me, then broke into a low laugh. "Not to lie, I thought so too. That's why I took her to that dinner. Thinking back now, even her weird naive act made sense. Anyone with intelligence would see the strain in that environment."I snickered. "Sure, now it does."Silence fell between us, punctuated by the slow, unhurried footsteps. I knew they belonged to Aylen."Were you jealous?" Keanne suddenly asked, turning to me, mischief in his eyes.I rolled my eyes and punched his shoulder playfully. He laughed, just as I heard Angeline's voice. And we both went silent. "Never did I think y

    CORAI watched Keanne slowly dress up, a glass of wine in one hand, his phone on the other. He kept having to drop his wine to pull up the trousers or to look for a shirt to go with it.I gave a small sigh, then grabbed a simple black button-down shirt for him to wear. He gave me an appreciative smile, then moved his hands briefly so I could help him wear it. I slowly buttoned it up, then tapped on his chest twice."You are my big man," I said, laughing. He broke into a smile, then turned his attention back to the phone. He was going over the details of the party, and right before he cut the call, he said he would leave the house open so they could bring some supplies he had ordered."Is that safe?" I asked, turning to him.He nodded. "Yes. Don't worry about it."I nodded, then followed behind him. I suddenly stopped, remembering the mystery guy. "Wait, what about Aylen?"Keanne stopped, then turned upstairs, just as the door opened, and Aylen slowly stepped out. He was wearing a simp
