Alessandra's POVI knew Malcolm was hiding something from me but I could not pinpoint it and I was in no place to inquire about it. The last thing I want him to do is feel as if I was a clingy and obsessive girl. I was sort of happy that I was his mate but this wasn't the kind of excitement I was hoping to have. I should have been head over heels. He didn't even wait to see me off when he dropped me off at Holly's house. He sped off like a bat out of hell and I couldn't help the feeling that overwhelmed me. I entered the house and avoided all of Holly's probing questions. I took a long shower and allowed the warm water to sooth my muscles and wash away all my worried. It did help with distracting me for the time being but after my shower I found myself thinking about him again. I towel dried my hair and wore my pajamas and an oversized t-shirt. I hopped onto bed with Holly who waited up with a wide grin spread across her face. Behind the smile I could tell that she was hurting an

I wished the earth would open up and swallow me whole if I had to listen to my sister blab about her boyfriend another second. I watched as she flipped her long, silk pressed blonde hair and I couldn't help the fact that I envied her. She fiddled with her perfectly manicured nails and nudged me in the side. I was getting pretty annoyed with her and I tried my best to drown out her voice as she spoke. My attention was focused on my cereal the entire time until I heard his name fall from her filthy mouth. "Carter." She had said breathy as if it was the best thing she had ever heard, when mom asked her about his name.I am sure it could never be the same Carter I have been obsessing over for years. The one that failed to take notice of me. It must be some other Carter she met at the nightclub. It was simply not possible for Ava to swipe such a dark and mysterious man away from me. He was not mine but deep down I had a feeling we were connected to each other. It was only a matter of tim
"She doesn't have a taste for fashion." Ava remarked as she typed away on her cell. I pushed the cereal away clearly, not in the mood to finish it. My blood bubbled with annoyance. I was barely holding on by a thread. I have grown tired of her remarks. She was the only one that had a problem with my attire. Mom never saw the need to complain and neither did dad. Not that they cared much about me. Things have started to take a drastic turn for us though since Mom started talking to me more. I wouldn't want to ruin that by attacking Ava. I couldn't imagine what they would have done or said to me if I thought too hard about doing it. "Pull her some slacks Ava. She has been busy with work. I am sure that pretty much explains everything." Mom cupped my shoulders from behind and I tensed a bit under her touch. I let her words stir in my head and my heart skipped a beat. Could it mean that I was getting somewhere with my mom? I peered over at Ava across the island and I could see that she
I massaged my temple when I looked down at the amount of work I had to do. However my mind was elsewhere. I was unable to focus as my number one priority was to relieve myself of the tension that filled my muscles. A massage could do me great at the moment. There were just so many women who would have been willing to do it for me. I peered up at the door where I heard the clinging of heels against the floor before my office door swung open and the last person I wanted to see entered. I could smell her toxic scent even before she barged into my office and made me sick to my stomach. I pressed my lips in a thin line and sighed frustrated as I remembered what event occurred which landed me in my current situation with a woman I felt nothing for. I always believed every woman with a pussy was worth fucking but I was turned off by this one. *FLASHBACK*It was early Saturday morning after just arriving from Romania on a business trip to expand my company. I looked up from the pile of pap
By the time I completed all my manuscripts with the help of Holly. The both of us left for home. Dawn had already started to set in and we were the last to leave the firm. I was a bit exhausted and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and nod off into wonderland. That was the only place that I felt comfortable and safe at the moment. Of course Holly was always there to squash my hopes and dreams like a little bug. A yarn left my mouth when I rested my head against the car window. I watched sleepy as the cars passed us by. Holly reached over and squeezed my hand. It was her way of telling me everything was going to be alright. I smiled weakly over at her before closing my eyes. I felt a hand nudge my shoulders before my eyes involuntarily fluttered open. I looked over to see Holly staring down at me. I wiped away the drool that covered the back of my hand into my dress before removing the seat belt. "I will be back for you in an hour." She wiggled her index finger at me. "You bette
I stared out the window of Holly's car at the houses we passed in the suburbs. They were all large and similar to each other. My thoughts drifted back to the argument between both Holly and Ava. I was still confused as to what happened between the two of them.The breeze blew through my hair, soothing me. I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind but it kept popping up. I wouldn't have a piece of mind if I didn't get to the bottom of it. "What was that about back there?" I croaked out. Holly looked over at me with furrowed eyebrows. " What was that about?" She was trying to play dumb with me. She always did it whenever she was trying to dodge a question. "That thing between you and Ava.""What happened between me and Ava?" She said her name as if it was bitter on her tongue. She clutched the steering wheel tight and picked up speed. I looked through the rear view mirror back at Ava that was trailing behind us in her brand new Porsche. "There is nothing between me and that girl.
Carter's POVI sighed as I remembered my encounter with Ava. Was she the woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with? Sure, she was beautiful and sweet. She had a body that any man would crave to have between their sheets. She was not my type though. I was more on the other side where women were curvy and had a big ass and boobs to top it off. Women like that were hard to find and if I happened to stumble across a woman like that, they were not like her. The girl I have been obsessing over for years but I could not have. This woman was not good for my mind nor my soul. She had already stolen her way into my heart. How could I marry a woman I didn't love and discard the one I wanted to claim as my mate. I knew that she deserved the best that this world had to offer but I can't help the stray thoughts that would pop up in my head about her. How did I arrive at this? My office door swung open and Axel my Beta and best friend strolled in. He took a sniff if the air and a smirk

Carter's PovI hated the fact that I lied to Allessandra's face. She deserved so much more than a lying sack of shit like me. I couldn't help but lie to her though. I wanted her and I couldn't live with the thought of knowing I allowed another man to claim her as their own. I was aware that nothing good could come from what I was doing to her and I was only digging my own grave but I couldn't help but hope that there was some way I could clean up the mess that I just caused. I was hoping that her reaction to what I said would have been different. She seemed unfazed. I wanted to tell her more about who I was but I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. I knew I had to tell her soon before she found out. I knew whatever stayed in darkness must come to light. I wanted tonight to turn out better. I wanted to make her happy but all I do is fuck things up. I was playing with fire once again and I knew I could get burnt badly if I wasn't careful, especially when it came down to Ava
Alessandra’s POVI could not believe the words that fell from his sinful lips. Was this true? How was that possible?I was a wolf-less child, there was no way that could happen. I was quiet the entire ride. I did not know what to say to Malcolm. None of what he said made sense to me. Why couldn’t I feel anything if what he said was true? I was so lost in thoughts the entire drive that I did not realize he wasn’t taking me home. He drove down a dirt path and then the car came to a halt. He got out of the car and came around the passenger’s side to help me out. I was still lost for words when he took my hand and guided me towards a cliff where we could see the entire city. It was a picturesque sight since it was dark and we could see all the different color lights.The breeze that blew was cold and goosebumps started to erupt on my skin as I stared into nothingness. Malcolm threw his jacket over my shoulders.“Are you going to say anything to me Alessandra?” He asked and I could tell th
Allessandra's POV The dinner date with Malcolm did go well. He was sweet enough to take me to a very exquisite restraunt and treated me with a good meal and expensive wine. I wasn't more thrilled to spend the afternoon with him. He was fun to hang out with but apart of me just wanted to crawl over the table and be a bad little girl for once in my life. I didn't know where that thought came from. I just wanted to do something dangerous and sinful. The way he watched me with his deep blue dangerous eyes did something to my body that I had no control of. I could feel the goosebumps erupting on my skin and my panties were soaked with my juice. I couldn't take my eyes away from his sinful lips. I wondered what it was like to kiss them again. How would it feel to have his lips elsewhere on my body besides my lips? I bit my lips when my direction landed on his skillful fingers. They were long and slender. Those were the fingers that massaged my clit. They brought me to my peak. I won
Allessandra's POV "ouch." I winced as Holly plucked the hair from my eyebrows. "Stay still." She scolded me. "I want you to look perfect for this." I rolled my eyes at her. "He has seen me in my worst state and he likes that just fine. So why do I have to look perfect for this one date?" I asked her. "Because men like pretty and once he sees you he can't take his eyes off your glorious body." She told me while she moved her hips in a seductive way. I laughed at her gesture and shook my head. She was something else. "I know after tonight he will be desperate to touch you." Holly continued. "Since you are too chicken to ask for what you want." I bit on my lips. I wasn't scared to ask for it. I asked him the first time we met each other and he turned me down and I gave him an invitation to my body multiple times. Perhaps he was waiting on the right moment or he wasn't into me at all. We hardly did anything besides discuss our dislikes and our likes over the past month. I di
Allessandra's POVThe thing Holly never understood about me was that when it comes down to a certain things I never gave up. Our friendship was one of those things that I would never give up on. Not that she was asking me to but at the rate she was going. I was convinced she was distancing herself from me once more. She never agreed to visit my house anymore and she didn't want to have me around but I was persistent so she agreed that I could sleep over. She still never opened up to me about what happened why her mate rejected her and she never talked about what happened between her and my sister at the night club. I knew this was a touchy topic but I at least expected her to open up to me about it. That's what friends do. I told her everything about me. Probably not everything since I hid the steamy details about what happened between me and Malcolm. But I tried to be as honest as possible so I was expecting the same level of honesty from her. We were cozy on the leather coach w
Allessandra's POVIt's been over a month since the incident where Holly's mate rejected her. I haven't summoned the courage to ask her who the scumbag was and she never opened up about what happened. I could tell that she was devastated and I didn't want to be the cause for brining up any bad memories. I could tell that she was coming around since she was more jovial but there was something off about her mood. As for my relationship with Malcolm, it was a complicated one. I didn't know what we were and I wasn't about to ask him that question. I did enjoy spending my time with him but what we did became a routine. We would visit the tree house, eat, talk and snuggle with each other. I found that romantic but I still didn't know anything about him. I felt as if there was more to him than he was letting on. Don't get me wrong, I liked what we did every night but I felt as if what we had was a secret. I felt as if he didn't want anyone to see us together. As if he was ashamed of me or
I was so happy when Holly returned for work. Seeing her in the state that she was in broke my heart. She was once happy and cheerful but now she looked like a breathing corpse. Her skin was pale as if she hasn't seen the sun in months and she looked ill with dark circles under her eyes. Seeing her in that state I knew she wasn't lying when she said she wasn't feeling well. I juat wished there was something I could have done to make her feel better since her was sad and gloomy. We did exchange a few words and that was as far as it went. I just felt as if she was shutting me out of her life and that was something I would never stand for. I just wanted to know what the problem was. I wanted to know who caused my best friend such a heartache so that I can stomp on their cold hearts. It was only then they would know the pain that they caused her. I wanted to tell her that I did know she found her mate but things didn't go as planned but I wasn't sure if she did indeed find her mate or
Allessandra's POVOver the past twenty three years of living on earth, i've never looked forward to anything the way I did when it came down to me spending time with Malcolm. Over the past few weeks my routine has changed completely. It would be work in the morning where I day dreamed about Carter and then my afternoons would be spent in the abondoned tree house or the park with Malcolm. We didn't do much besides open up about each other more. I found out he came from a rich family and that was all to it. He was a tough nut to crack and I felt as if I was dealing with a puzzle. He was a complete mystery to me but that didn't stop me from spending time with him. The thing that bothered me most was that he was a wolf. unlike me who would never be blessed by the moongoddess with a mate he would be one day. I couldn't help but feel as if he would slip through my fingers like sand. I did try to push those thoughts aside and savour every moment we spent together and it somehow helped whi
