KEANNE

I 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

  • Sinful Mates   I Don't Want To Let Go

    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

    CORAI smiled, my chest heaving lightly as his hands wrapped around my waist and brought me close. His scent filled me up, and I moved even closer, ad we fell into some sort of invisible dance."Is this...the prime lake thing?"He raised a brow. "I am pretty sure you wanted to kiss there.""Mhm," I said, laughing.He shook his head. "Unfortunately for you, I don't intend to kiss you."My brows furrowed, and I stepped away, standing on the pool, my hair sticking to my neck and face, my hands coming up to my waist."Why?"He looked at me, then sighed as he moved as at, then sat on the edge once more. "I don't know. Choice? Or maybe I need to be convinced. I can't tell yet."My brows cleared up, and I nodded an understanding. Something felt funny. A man like Keanne wanted reassurance from me. He wanted to believe that he was wanted by me, and it was crazy.It was, however a powerful feeling. The sort that gave me the guts to do what I did next.I moved slowly away from where I was, then

    We soon got to the mansion, and Keanne drew in a long breath, his eyes thinning as he watched the mansion. "I hate this place."I laughed. "Me too. But well...this is home.""I have felt helpless so many times, but not quite as bad as right now."I turned to him, then slowly moved, my finger reaching up to my forehead. He sighed and leaned further, then kissed my forehead. I smiled, as he leaned away, then came back, his kips brushing mine, efficiently knocking the breath out of me.Fuck me, I love the frequency."You...call me if he raises a finger at you. He doesn't stand a chance.""I know. I know."He nodded, his thumb running smoothly against my cheeks. He placed the smallest kiss on the corner of my lips, then moved away. I smiled at him, then moved away from him and turned to the door."Cora."I turned to him, and he swallowed, hidvhabf tightening around mine. Have I mentioned how much I loved it when hr was possessive? I felt like we have spent so long trying to navigate this

    My eyes opened slowly, my chest heaving slowly. The lids felt heavy, and I gave a low moan, my hand starting to move to my forehead.I couldn't move my hand however, as it was carefully sandwiched in another. I turned slowly. Keanne was sitting by my side, his head resting on the side of the bed, my hand carefully held in both of his."Keanne?" My voice felt different, sounded different, a lot weaker.I closed my eyes tight, then turned to him once more. He was stirring, his brows creased, and he slowly looked up to me."Keanne."He watched me for the longest time, his eyes blank, before he slowly lowered them. "You...you lied to me."I closed my eyes tight. "Keanne.""You said I didn't need to come there. You said you would be fine. That you would call me. You said all of those and then you end up...like this? Battered? Bruised? You end like..."He trailed off, anger seeping into his voice, his hands shaking lightly. "How could you do this to me? What if I didn't come there? What of

    I sat back, watching Keanne. He seemed rather oblivious as he drank a bit of his wine, his fingers pushing his hair back."You...what are you going to do?"He looked at me, and it felt suddenly too warm. "About what?"He dropped his cup and turned his attentions to me."Well. About the dark omega. It is lingering around you."He smiled. "Are you scared?""For you, yes. Until when will you be able to simply ignore them? Until when till you can't take hiding anymore?"He pursed his lips, then sighed. "She started calling me when I turned eighteen. At first, I didn't know who it was, but...""Wait."He looked up, his right brow raising. "Yes?""She is alive?""Of course, she is. What were you expecting?""I don't know. You said she was sacrificed. I thought...""Mother gave birth and abandoned the baby with the dark Omegas to do as they please, Cora. They obviously chose to raise her as one of their own."He slowly stood up, his eyes darting to mine. Before I could speak, he gestured upw

    KEANNEI closed the door gently, my eyes catching a glimpse of Cora's sleeping figure till the very last minute the door cut off my vision of her.I gave a small sigh, my hand coming to cup my forehead. I felt all of the weight I tried to push away before in front of her come back to me now. I had started to descend the stairs to take a glass when I suddenly felt it.I turned back. The door was still locked, the way I had left it. My brows furrowed as I turned away, then took one more step away from the door.The scent hit me even stronger, and this time my wolf almost went crazy. I grabbed the stairs railing, my heart clenching tight."Who are you?" My voice was way calmer than I felt, my chest lightly heaving. But I am not about to leave Cora's room when I could feel something like that.Silence met me, and I swallowed, then retraced my step, my eyes squinting. I hate that these dark omegas are so shadowy that it was even more plausible to miss them that it was to actually find them

    CORAI stood in front of the mirror, my eyes thin. I had scars all over my back and shoulders, and I swallowed, my eyes closing. Keanne was asleep, the house dim, and I grabbed the robe and wore it back, my chest lightly heaving with anger.Slowly, I walked back to the room. Keanne was on the phone, and I stopped, listening. I couldn't tell what he was talking about, and I slowly went to him, then lay beside him. He gave me a small smile, then turned away.I sought his fingers, and he let me take it. For a while, we just stayed like that, till he finally got off the phone."How do you feel?"I swallowed. "Hideous.""Hideous?" He moved, his eyes meeting mine.I do sometimes wonder if this would have been the same a year ago. If he would treat me like this had he not had to wait for me. But I didn't want to think about it. Neither did I want to think about anything at all."Well. The scars are everywhere.""You will be fine," he said, kissing my forehead. "I will be here."I nodded, the

  • Sinful Mates   Epilogue; Treat You Right

    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

  • Sinful Mates   Kiss of Death

    "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

    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

    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
