~SELENA I denied immediately, shaking my head. “No, I haven't and I don't wish to know about my past at all because I've you.” I let my hands move from his face down to his shoulders in a gentle pace that inflamed the desires in his eyes. “I'm addicted to you and can't leave you for anyone else, Killian. My body, heart and soul wants you and you only”. By the time I was done speaking, he had already buried his head on my neck, kissing a spot I assume he was going to etch his mark on.He pulled back a little, and I cursed beneath my heavy breath. He chuckled softly, clearly knowing I was starting to get offended by his constant interruption. “Let’s take it slow, babe. We've have all night to ourselves,” he locked our lips in a brief kiss to wane my frustration. “You will need some distraction from the pain” as he said that, his large hand glided up my thigh, pulling my lingerie along. My muscles tensed up as I felt his hand reach my drenched core. He played with my vagina's lips, g
~SELENAI slowly opened my eyes, squinting against the bright light streaming through the open blinds. A soft smile formed on my face as memories of last night played in my min but as I turned to the other side of the bed to find it empty, I sighed in disappointment upon seeing the space beside me was empty. I lingered on his spot for a moment, taking in his scent from the sheets before sitting up. As I stood, my legs trembled. Killian really wore me out last night. After we satisfied our desires in bed, we moved to the shower, but ended up indulging ourselves again.Last night was pure ecstasy, the best I've ever had. Killian left me craving more. I might have worn him out because he didn’t hold back in fulfilling my every desire. Even now, I still feel sensual. If he were here, I wouldn’t be able to resist him.“Enough, Laura,” I told myself. It’s time to get out of bed.Oh, I almost forgot—I have plans today. With that in mind, I slipped out of the sheets, got out of bed, and hea
~KILLIANIt's so sexy and also amusing how Laura denies wanting me for breakfast. She confidently turned down my request for us to go upstairs and continue from where we stopped last night, after provoking me with those sensual massages. Right now, I feel like teaching her a lesson not to ever purposely leave me in the clutches of my desires for her. She would scream from those lessons, maybe even cry, but until she begs for my mercy, I will never let her go. Dipping my head onto her neck, only the goddess knows how badly I wanted to act on my wild thoughts as I sniffed her scent, my hips pressing hard against the fullness of her rear end. I honestly love this naughty side of her. She effortlessly arouses me with just her voice and scent. To say the least, I'm fucking addicted to every inch of her. If not for the kids in the next room, I'd hoist her up onto the kitchen surface and part those toned legs. How I wished she could be quiet while I feed her cunt right here. Unfortunate
~SELENAI lied to him again. I couldn't stop myself, especially after I saw his reaction to the mail. I might not fully understand the depth of their hatred, but the way Killian's mood shifted was a clear sign that he despises Hunter.It hurt when he raised his voice at me this morning, all because of Hunter. The anger in his eyes as he scolded me showed just how deep his hatred runs. I don't think I can calm that anger or talk him out of it.What I need to do now is get Hunter off my back with this appointment of his, and fast. It's starting to raise questions from Killian, and I'm afraid he might start digging into things with Jared.Once those two team up, only the goddess can stop them. That's my biggest fear, and it will only get worse if they discover anything about my past with Hunter.I'm seriously torn about whether to tell him myself. What if telling him ruins his love for me and the kids, knowing that the blood of his enemy runs through their veins?He said he would destroy
~KILLIAN“Be honest with me, Laura. Is there something going on between you and Hunter?” I dropped the bombshell, and her reaction was an arched eyebrow.“Hunter?” she asked again, her brows pulling down in a frown. “Could you remind me who Hunter is?”Now it was my turn to be confused, and I was, thoroughly. “You mean you don't know who Hunter is?”“Not until the mail arrived this morning, and since you don't want me to help him out, I think there's no need for me to know anything more about him,” she added, closing her closet after picking out some casual outfits.I wasn't fully satisfied with her answers, but I was already distracted as I watched her apply lotion on her skin, my eyes following her every movement. Right now, I felt like continuing from where we stopped in the kitchen.I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them, making sure to focus this time. “So, why did you freak out when the mail came? You were visibly shaking.”Her forehead puckered at my questio
~SELENAI shuffled through the stack of files neatly arranged on my desk, searching for the old Alpha's medical report.Just three days ago, after I volunteered to donate my blood, she began responding impressively to treatment. Although she has yet to regain consciousness, at least her current condition is better.I'm ninety-nine percent sure she will wake up very soon, but I just couldn't wait for that to happen. Asking her about the questions bothering me might be a bit weird.I’d conclude that our blood type might be a coincidence, but there’s this unsettling feeling I can’t shake, especially after seeing how fast she’s healing with my blood.Sure, I know my parents are dead, but there might be a little blood relationship between us. Like an aunt or grandma, I really don't know. My parents never talked about having any relatives when I was young—heck, none even visited us.Thinking deeply about it, it somehow doesn’t make sense. This woman is an Alpha; she's obviously influential
~THIRD POVA shiny red Royce smoothly pulled into the spacious grounds of Nadia's fashion empire, instantly grabbing everyone's attention. As it came to a stop at the grand entrance, its bold design and obvious luxury made people stare, their eyes fixed on the tinted windows, eager to see who would step out.A tall, well-built man in a perfectly fitted suit got out first. Moving with practiced ease, he walked over to the passenger side and opened the door.The first thing to catch the sunlight was a pair of black stilettos, polished to a mirror-like shine. As they touched the ground, the crowd's curiosity grew. When she finally stepped out, whispers spread among the onlookers.She was dressed in a black two-piece suit that fit her petite frame perfectly. The deep neckline showed off a diamond necklace and a hint of cleavage. Her blonde hair cascaded in heavy, luxurious curls, framing a heart-shaped face that was expressionless yet stunningly beautiful. With a subtle adjustment of he
~HUNTERThe Triad is a group of idiots. I overrated their skills to abduct Mrs. Salvador, and they ended up making a mess of things, but at least they were able to scare her into complying with me.Who would have thought Mrs. Salvador would send me an appointment herself after countless rejections?She even chose to meet me in person. A smirk instinctively formed on my lips as I thought about finally seeing the face behind that brilliant mind and stunning body.I wheeled my car into the designated parking spot, got down, and headed into the building, which looked more like a coffee shop. She had chosen this place herself, and I could only assume it was because of her dickhead husband. She was smart enough to know that my presence at her hospital would draw attention. Given her personality, wouldn't my presence with her still attract attention in a public space like a coffee shop? There could be two or more paparazzi secretly taking pictures of us and her cover could be blown if the
~KILLIANKatrina sent her location, and I managed to get Laura to stick to the plan. She’s gone to Hunter’s pack with Liliana to get Megan.Meanwhile, I’m driving with my men toward Katrina’s location, unsure where the hell Hunter and his men are. We were supposed to come together, but it seems he wants to do things his own way. It’s laughable how he thinks he can win Laura back by playing the hero.Out of nowhere, something smashed into my windshield, shattering it into pieces. My car swerved dangerously and screeched to a halt.Goddess.“What was that?”I mind-linked Jared.“I think we’re being ambushed, Alpha!” he reported, making my eyes widen.I quickly grabbed my gun from the compartment and jumped out of the car when Jared shouted, “Get down, Alpha!”A bullet whizzed past me, missing by a hair’s breadth. I ducked and took cover behind the car.My men were already shooting at the ambushers, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.Loading my gun, I joined the fight and soo
~HUNTER My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when I heard the doctor’s report about Olivia’s condition.“She was poisoned?!”I’d been sure she was just having one of her usual asthma attacks, not this!“Yes, Alpha. We discovered the juice she drank was poisoned.”What? Who brings poison to a kid’s party?Confused, I turned to Alpha Newton, who had been with me in the doctor’s office. Nadia was at Olivia’s bedside, sobbing uncontrollably.“Don’t you know anything about this?” I demanded, glaring at him, but he stayed silent. “If you’d let Olivia stay under my roof, this wouldn’t have happened,” I snapped.Newton narrowed his eyes at me, his expression challenging. “Even if Olivia makes it through this, you won’t be keeping her!”I growled in response. We locked eyes, our anger palpable, until the doctor interrupted. “Can we continue now?”“What’s the plan to fix her condition?” I asked urgently.“Miss Olivia’s blood is contaminated by the poison she ingested. She’ll need a tran
~THIRD POV"I'm so glad you could make it to my birthday!” Olivia beamed at Megan as they broke away from a tight embrace.“I wouldn’t miss it for the world! Besides, I’ve been missing you all holiday, so I figured this was the perfect chance to see you,” Megan replied, her smile growing as they walked into the grand living room where the party was in full swing.“Same here! I tried calling you, but you wouldn’t pick up!” Olivia said with a frown.“My mom confiscated my phone. I don’t know why, but she seems to be against our friendship,” Megan mused.Olivia's frown deepened. “Why would she be against it? Did I do something wrong?”Megan shrugged. “I don’t think so, but I’m not sure. If I had told her I was coming here, she wouldn’t have let me.”“You sneaked out?” Olivia gasped.“I told you I’d do anything to be here, didn’t I? So, here we are!”“You’re so brave, Megan. I wish I could be like you, but don’t you think your mom will be mad at you?” Olivia asked thoughtfully.“She will,
~KILLIANI'm devastated.It's been two weeks since Laura left the pack, and I haven't been myself. I've been panicking, worried about where she might have gone, especially with the kids and my baby.She hasn't been answering my calls or replying to any of my texts. I suspect she might have changed her number so I can't trace her location.Even with Liliana's relentless help, we're still short of clues about where she might be. I've also been to all the properties she owns, but none of the caretakers have seen her.She probably thinks I'd harm her if I found out where she is. She knew I'd look for her at her properties, so she played it safe by not going there.I wanted Laura all these years, and when I finally had her, I lost her in the blink of an eye.I wish I could turn back time and right my wrongs. At the very least, I wouldn't have scared her with that damn gun!SighThe guilt of my actions is eating me alive as the days go by, and I fear I might become even more devastated if I
~KILLIANI blinked, completely stunned at the sight of her, wondering if I was imagining things, but the truth kept staring back at me. It was all real.There she was, standing and looking back at me, just as shocked.My stepmom.Liliana.“Killian!” she whispered, taking a step closer, her eyes filling with tears.“Mom!”I rushed forward and hugged her, my heart pounding with joy as I felt the warmth of her skin against mine. She wasn't a ghost; she was real!Her tears soaked my shoulder as I held her tighter, savoring the familiar jade scent I thought I'd never smell again after that dreadful night.I couldn’t stop my tears. They fell as I remembered how unbearable life was when I finally accepted they were dead because I couldn’t find a trace of her and Laura.It took years for me to accept their absence and push through the pain to become who I am today.She finally pulled away, her eyes shining with tears and relief. She looked just as young and beautiful as I remembered, except h
I locked eyes with Katrina, then turned back to him, my gaze narrowing dangerously. Could he have been working with Katrina all this time to kill Laura?In a flash, I caught him as he tried to bolt from the room, grabbing him by the neck. I yanked the gun from his pocket and slammed him against the wall. He collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, blood trickling down his face.As Katrina stepped closer, trying to calm me down, I aimed the gun at her, a silent warning to stay back.“How long have you been working with her?” I demanded from Lionel.He swallowed hard, his voice trembling. “Since you left for your last business trip. Forgive me, Alpha!”Anger darkened my eyes. This had been going on for so long, and I never knew!“What else did she pay you to do besides poisoning Laura?”From the corner of my eye, I saw Katrina shaking her head at him, signaling him to stay quiet as he glanced her way.His face turned pale as I cocked the gun. “What else?” “She paid me to plant a mo
~KILLIANPulling up in front of Katrina's apartment, I felt a nervous knot twist in my stomach as I got out and hurried to the entrance.It was like she was already waiting for me because before I could even knock, the door swung open."That was fast," she said with a smile.I didn’t bother to return it. Keeping a straight face, I asked, "What evidence did you find?"She closed the distance between us, suddenly leering at me as she slowly ran her hand up my arm.Sensing her intentions, I swatted her hand away, my jaw tightening with anger. "Is this what you called me for?"She let out a bitter chuckle. "So, it’s come to the point where I can't even touch you?""Stop acting dumb. That was more than just a touch," I snapped, glaring at her. "We've been over this. I have a mate now, and you know what happens if I choose to cheat."I don't desire her anymore. The urge to be with her died the moment Laura came into my life, though I refused to accept it at first. My commitment to Laura goe
~THIRD POV.Fifteen-year-old Killian hid behind the trunk of a tree, his blue eyes wide open, tears filling them as he helplessly watched his father being surrounded by a pack of wolves.As he stood there, fidgeting, Killian wondered what was wrong with his father. His father had never been too weak to fight back. To say the least, Killian always saw his father as undefeated."The strongest man alive," Killian had teased his father a moment earlier while he taught him how to hunt. But then, suddenly, his father sensed something and urged him to seek safety back in the pack grounds. But little Killian couldn't just leave his father.He was curious why his father had told him to go back so suddenly and decided to hide behind the tree to find out the reason.But what he didn't know was that the reason would wound his heart and leave a scar on it.It happened before his eyes.So quick!Like a bolt of lightning.His father was brought down by just a single shot. Killian flinched, nearly le
~KILLIANI glanced at my wristwatch for the umpteenth time, my eyebrows knitting together in concern. Laura still hadn't returned from the washroom. Just as I was about to go look for her, she was announced as the winner of the category. Since she wasn’t in the hall, I went up on stage to accept the award on her behalf, but my thoughts were elsewhere. I quickly rounded up the speech, almost too abruptly, and handed the award to Droost as I stepped down from the podium."I'll be right back," I told him, my tone hurried. My mind raced with all the negative possibilities as I made my way to the restroom area.Keeping my composure, I walked down the corridor leading to the washrooms and knocked on the first door. "Laura?" I called out.There was silence, and just as I was about to move to the next door, it opened. I stepped inside quickly, feeling relieved at the sight of her. But my relief faded as I noticed her slightly teary eyes."Are you okay?" I asked, my worry evident.She nodded.
