Arden can't even take his hands off her, but a part of her doesn't want to take them either. She likes it secretly. It fueled her thoughts to savor the moment for a while, to live with it, and to let herself be happy for however many minutes without worrying about the reality of their real situation.Arden closed his eyes as he sniffed her neck, grazing the tip of his nose against her skin and letting himself rest for a bit. It was so comforting that Arden wanted to sleep.Is this what life means? He asked himself, slowly intoxicated by the addicted happiness he was experiencing at the moment.He tightened his hug around her. Erina groaned, which made Arden chuckle, amazed that she was trying to whine about the hug but her body isn't resisting at all.Her hair smells so good. Her skin was soft like cotton, and her small frame was fragile like glass. She's just too soft for my mass. She's too opposite in my world—a great menace, filled with darkness.She's like the rays of the sun in t
Erina was taken aback when Arden mentioned marriage. Her mind failed to process it thoroughly, leaving her confused for a while.He's talking about marriage? And what about the daughter of the Rockwells? What about her? And he can't be serious about it. I know whom he wants to marry because I heard it.What's the fuss now? Did he change his mind? But that's impossible.Arden noticed how it shocked her for a moment. He was hovering over her, so he saw how it made her serious while her brows were knitting."You don’t want to have a family with me? Because we are having a baby soon, Erina," he said in a low voice."And how about the daughter of the Rockwells?" She asked in almost a whisper, shocked that she could still talk despite the shock she was having."What about her?" Arden raised his brow as his eyes gazed at every corner of her face, memorizing it."You know what I’m talking about," Erina said, pissed that she needed to repeat herself.Arden’s eyes drifted to her lips. His hand
Arden filled her to the brim and made her moan resonate all over the place, which is her least concern knowing they were alone in the mountain, the empty forest with only cascading water's sound mingled in it.Arden flipped her body, pushing it as she bent over, parted her legs more, and entered her again, which made her gasp and shut her eyes.The ruthless thrust was blinding her entire system, and the only thing she did was whimper helplessly until she felt how Arden groaned like a mad beast and filled her while they both convulsed as the liquid cascaded down on her legs as well.Erina knew that she'd be pregnant one of these days, knowing that they have been doing it multiple times, almost every day, and for more than two rounds without him pulling out every time he explodes.That's the main purpose here, Erina, to bear his child. And that's his main goal as well: to make you pregnant with his child.Every time they would have sex vigorously, there was something about it that stirr
Arienda can see the similarities between Jacob Gunner’s face and Arden's. She can clearly tell that it's his father since they share the same features: both dark, menacing, and brooding.’But unlike Arden, who’s more dangerous, his father looked like a ruler who has a soft spot in his heart and is abruptly swayed by his emotions. He looked gentlemanly in the way he conversed, with no amount of rudeness dripping from his deep, low voice.Arden is quite a rude and bossy type of person. But a lot of girls admired him more for his physique, how he rules the mansion, and how he conquers territories in his own way, ruthless and fearless. Which made him unique. And that’s why I like him so much."You know how much I want for our son to marry and to expand our lineage; that’s why I called all of the girls in the town so he could choose a girl, but unexpectedly, he chose someone who doesn’t come from a wealthy family and who looked exactly like Arena Remington, his supposed mate in the past."
Erina was resting between the parting legs of Arden while they were both sitting in the tent as they watched the burning bonfire.Arden was playing with her fingers while Erina's mind flew somewhere."How many kids do you like?" Arden whispered something that made her shock.She glanced over her shoulder as they locked gazes. She saw the sincerity in his eyes, which made her swallow hard."How about you? How many kids do you like?" Erina asked. "You're going to bear them, so you must decide about it. I'm fine with three... or four?"Her eyes narrowed as she chuckled. Arden copied her reaction and smiled too."Hmm. Four is actually fine.""Really? You like four?" he squeezed her.Erina nodded and looked at the bonfire again. Her smile slowly faded when she remembered her mother, Aurora.Mom. I am starting to like the life I built with Arden, even if I know that this isn't part of our plan. But I'm in love with him, Mom. How am I supposed to escape this when I'm fully trapped now in hi
Erina’s lips trailed down to his stomach as she nibbled it lightly, her hands pulling down the last piece of cloth Arden was wearing.When she reached the abdomen part, she unbuckled his belt as Arden was now half lying, his elbows resting, which made his body recline more.He’s willing to watch her movements and keep an eye on her as she pleases him.Erina’s gaze went up as she pulled it down to his legs. Arden licked his lower lip when Erina held it in her hands, wrapping her fingers around it as it pulsated.Erina was amused that it became bigger, and she could barely touch it, knowing that the tip of her fingertips created some space because it grew even more."I’m big. I know," Arden said as Erina looked so No wonder it could reach some corners inside of me because of its size.But Erina was determined to explore, to feel him, and to show him that she could pleasure him too. She knelt and crouched down until she kissed its tip.Arden sighed breathily and closed his eyes. Erina w
A soldier just showed up out of their tent and told Arden that his father was back and that his mother wanted him to go back into the mansion for the party.Even though he told them not to disturb them, he let it slip since his father had just come home.As soon as Erina heard the news while they were in the middle of traveling on their way back home, she remembered her mother.Should I tell my mother that Arden’s father is now here? And I’m curious why she’s asking about it. Does she know him?Erina started to get curious, but at the same time, she was nervous about what Arden’s father would think of her, knowing that Arden’s mother doesn’t approve of her. She’s thinking that Arden’s father is just the spitting image of Arden’s personality as well.As soon as they arrived at the mansion, Arden put his hand around her waist while they were entering the house, which shocked Erina for a bit. She’s not used to Arden being clingy to her in public.She’s used to him only getting touchy whe
When the darkness slowly crept in, the grand party started as the royals arrived in their luxurious limousines and fancy clothes with a theme of masquerade. Celestia is so creative when it comes to parties that she would make them extra enchanting and worth the experience.The ladies were dressed in big ball gowns that reminded them of the medieval period, including the men, who were also looking princely to match the girls.Erina's gown was personally chosen by Arden because he wanted it to match his own outfit. Her hair was down, and the waves of her hair were more enhanced, making her look like a goddess of beauty in its mortal form.Erina saw the sparks in Arden's eyes as he looked at her with parted lips. She licked her lower lip and went to him. He offered his arm as she put her hand there and breathed heavily."You look so beautiful tonight," he whispered hoarsely.Erina glanced at Arden, trying not to flush about it when she was obviously failing hard. Arden crouched and gave
Erina’s cheeks burned in heat when she suddenly remembered how shameless Arden Gunner was. She completely opened the door and glared at him for a warning that Arden found so cute because he could sense she wasn’t holding back from him anymore. She’s completely stripping herself.When they both entered the kitchen, the first thing that welcomed them was their eyes looking at them, waiting for Arden’s presence.And to see Draven again, this time confirming that it was his son, he was lost for words. His stomach was churning, and he was melting from it.When he first met him, he felt like he was only watching his little version because of how similar the resemblance was. They were like carbon copies of each other, and Arden could guarantee it might be his son.But it hurts him at the same time every time he remembers how he saw Erina falling off the cliff because of the fear and regret in her eyes that night while he was running to her aggressively in his werewolf form.Thinking about it
Erina was already in her room while looking out the window to check if Arden’s car was still there. And it was. She was urged by him to sleep, and now that she could see he was really serious about guarding the house, she felt a bit ashamed that she doubted him and accused him.But she couldn’t blame herself for feeling it because she knew that she had done the Gunners wrong, and she was getting blamed for the consequences of her actions.She sighed and went to bed as her wind was wondering. They fucked. It was like she was straightly telling him she likes him and she’s longing for him too.She closed her eyes and pressed her lips against the pillow while feeling so flustered that she could still feel him between hers because of the throbbing. She was getting butterflies, and she was now in ecstasy.Erina, you are really crazy for that man, aren’t you? You know what would happen if you fell for him again. Look at what’s happening. You were attacked by men who were ordered by someone.
Her moans resonated all throughout the car, and she could really tell that it was moving from the outside’s view because of how beastly Arden’s movements were. He was aggressively fucking her, ramming it all in like he was so pent-up, and he finally found a release.Erina hugged his nape as she was whimpering under him, and she could feel every thrust he made.They were both longing for each other, and it showed in the way their bodies collided that they couldn’t even take their hands off themselves as Erina was caressing his back, scratching her nails against it, and wrapping her legs around his hips just to coax him more into burying it deep.It was so rough and aggressive that the windows of the car were starting to smoke as if there were snow in them because of the heat they were both radiating.Arden shifted the movement, and he was now sitting as Erina whimpered more when it only reached the brim. Arden crushed his lips against her and tripled the pace of his movement so that Er
Erina’s stomach was churning continuously. His words deeply moved her, and at that moment, she was on the verge of letting go of her decision and risking trying it again with Arden.But then, there was always that barrier that was holding her back—that boundary she put between them because she felt like the cycle would just repeat over and over and she would always lose him in every lifetime. She would not have him the way he wants it.She slowly shook her head, but then Arden placed his hand on her cheek, his eyes twinkling with pleading as if he were providing all the assurance she needed at that moment to convince her. Just to make her see that he would never hurt or kill her.“I would never lay a finger on you. No. I wouldn’t do that. I would never...” he whispered in his croak voice, losing its strength.Erina’s tears pooled even more. The fact that it was right in front of her, and all she needed to do was grab it, caused her immense pain.“I’d protect you and our son,” he whisp
The shock etched his face as soon as he heard it. He felt so weak, and even his head immediately turned bloodshot. His jaw clenched tremendously while he froze where he was standing, staring at Erina unbelievably.“D-Draven, he is your son,” she confessed as her shoulder rocked slowly when she sobbed.Arden’s shoulder loosened even more. The tears in his eyes escaped, marking the first time Erina had witnessed him cry in front of her. He looked so hurt and betrayed, but at the same time, regretful.“I couldn’t tell you because I know that I’m at fault that night, and I’m afraid you’d punish me and include him.”Arden’s jaw clenched as his hand turned into a fist. Erina doesn’t care anymore if he turns into a werewolf and scratches her face; as long as after that, she will be even and he will leave them alone. But with Arden’s reaction, it seemed like he wouldn’t be satisfied by just a scratch, as the menace in his expression was intensifying.“You were thinking I’d do that to my own c
The lump in her throat was making it worse. She knew that Draven obviously looked like him from all angles. She cannot lie about that part. And to hear it coming from Arden himself, asking about it and pointing it out, made her shiver even more.She is busted. She can’t lie about it. She might deny it, but how does she explain Draven’s features?Before she could answer, she felt bad because Arden had been so good to her in Rockmount. Though she felt his coldness from the start, the other days were so enchanting that she felt he loved her at that moment. He told her he loved her. And the way he handled her with care, it seemed like she was so fragile that he was too careful.As she opened the door and hurriedly walked back to the house, she shook her head, unable to express her feelings of despair.However, before she could reach the terrace, Arden was too quick to chase after her as he gripped her pulse.“Tell me the truth, Erina,” he desperately demanded.Erina’s tears were now casca
Erina was hesitating, but at the same time, she was thinking about asking Arden about what was happening when she left and why he was in the mortal world. Though she knows that he is looking for someone, now that she has confirmed that he is Arden Gunner, she doesn’t want to buy that excuse from him that he didn’t mean any harm. Arden approached her that night in his werewolf form, and she had no choice but to fall off the cliff rather than allow him to devour her. This was because the face of betrayal lingered in her mind.She slipped into the front seat and glanced at Arden, who was now looking at the food she had brought. He was opening it, and his expression lightened when he confirmed it was the chicken Alfredo whom Draven was talking about.“You cooked this?” He asked gently.She nodded and looked at the food as well. “If you’re not used to it, since I know you prefer the cook of a chef, like how you used to in Rockmount, then just don’t expect too much. I’m not a good cook.”Ar
Aiden was already boldly expressing that he was Arden Gunner and that he knew she was Erina, the one who made him fall in love with her just to make a fool out of him.Erina suddenly remembered what he said about the woman she was trying to find, expecting she wasn’t dead yet. She doesn’t want to believe that Arden isn’t mad at her, because who wouldn’t be when she has already memorized and seen how Arden Gunner would never forgive anyone who did him wrong?“Leave and don’t ever come back again,” she said warningly, and she went back to the house.She saw Mrs. Sanders, who was peeking in the kitchen and immediately went back. Erina controlled her aching heart as she wanted to slap herself for feeling it for Arden.Now that she really confirmed Arden was Aiden Arscott, she could really tell that he was pursuing her to just imitate what she did to him in Rockmount.Her tears escaped as she wiped them off, as she didn’t want to feel any sympathy for him. If she went out and let him in, t
The two Sanders were highly convinced by Erina’s alibis about her getting distant from Aiden Arscott for the better. The two oldies were so worried for her, and it worsened more when they saw the other scratches on the living room—something really had disarranged it. If Erina didn’t clean up the mess, the two oldies might really prefer to just leave the house right then.But it wasn’t that easy to leave. The land was there, and even the ongoing harvesting was to be delivered to the company handled by Erina.Though Erina already covered the whole place, she wouldn’t let any of the wolves enter the houses again, but how about their safety? They can’t stay inside forever. There are everyday things they would do.Erina was having a hard time making some adjustments, but she needed to do it. She made sure that the two wouldn’t leave the house as she took Draven to school and talked to the head of the school about allowing him to homeschool instead, for some reason.She can’t just leave her
