"Here you go"Grace chimed as she handed the latte to the man. Her pink-tinted heart-shaped lips were curved in a beautiful smile that melted him. He took the cup from her hands and Grace quickly turned around to prepare another set of orders. She expected him to go but to her surprise, he remained rooted on the spot while eyeing her with admiration.Grace was slightly flustered."Uhmm, Sir do you need something?""Your number, love. Can you give me?" He blatantly asked. Grace was caught off guard."Nope, buddy. She is off-limits." A deep voice answered him. The man was puzzled but soon his gaze turned to a glare when Adam came near Grace and snaked his right arm around her waist pulling her closer.His hold was possessive and the look on his face was threatening. The man felt intimated by that 6 ft hulk and quickly scurried away. Once he left, Grace shot her head up and threw Adam a glare."What was that for? You can't behave like this with the customer." She was annoyed.Adam chuckl
Grace moaned and shielded her right cheek with her palm which was currently on fire. She lazily peeked through her left eye only to see the windows of her room widely opened, welcoming the scorching golden rays to burn her face."I closed the door before sleeping then how come it opened?"She vaguely thought. After reaching home last night, she straightly dumped her exhausted self on the bed without even bothering to feed something to her empty stomach. The way Natasha humiliated her had sapped her whole energy but now she was regretting because, in all this chaos, she forgot to feed her baby too.Grace managed to sit on the bed with utmost difficulty. She slept on her left arm and as a result, her muscles had turned numb."Ahh, I can't even feel my hand." Groaning, she jerked her hand and rubbed it when her stomach rumbled loudly.She caressed her tummy lovingly, "Sorry baby. I will quickly make food for us."Grace used to talk with her child a lot. She never thought it but she had g
To say Grace was shocked would be an understatement. She was terrified out of her wits, not because Xavier was a werewolf but because she was one too. And that only led to one conclusion.He knew who she was.There wasn't a tiniest bit of doubt in it because no werewolf would reveal his secret in front of a mere human. Grace cried internally but her tears expressed her misery to Xavier who was still celebrating his victory."I was ready to turn the whole earth upside down and would have set it on fire if I hadn't found you."His words added to her trauma. Werewolf or not, the man was a completely gone case. And that gave a valid reason for Grace to run away.Suddenly something cold contacted her skin which grabbed her attention. Grace peeked at it through her peripheral vision. It was a candle holder. A perfect weapon which she could come as handy.While oblivious to her plans, Xavier was busy marveling at her beauty. Grace was startled when he suddenly dropped his whole weight on her
Everyone in the apartment by then had gathered in the hallway and surrounded Xavier so that he couldn't hurt Grace. Though they were frightened by his deadly appearance, Grace's safety was their priority. Some brought rods while others fetched anything that could help them to keep the intruder down on the ground."Who are you? Why are you troubling the girl?""Quickly call the cops"People shouted in unison while pointing their weapons at the man who was bleeding profusely.The crowd grew puzzled when the battered man did not attempt to move. He was sprawled on the floor like a corpse. One of them eventually mustered some courage and took small steps in his direction while clutching the rod tightly."Hey," a boy who couldn’t be more than 20 spoke sternly and poked him but Xavier didn't budge. He then looked at the others who gestured for him to try once again."Wake up," he nudged him again but when he didn't find any response, he backed away. People sighed in relief as they were also
"Stop crying. It's not good for the baby, An." Adam spoke comforting words in her ears while hugging Grace tightly who was sobbing like a child. The tip of her fingers had turned white due to how hard she was clutching his shirt.The poor soul was traumatized. Xavier’s return was a brutal reminder of how dark and haunting her future would be. She had tried so hard to protect herself and her baby from his hawkish eyes but now she had seen his strength. The power he holds, he’ll be able to find her even from the core of the earth."He found me Ad. There's no way I can trick him. He will drag me from the claws of death too. I can never win against him." Grace cried and buried her face in his shoulders.Adam caressed her hair. He was bristling with rage but at the same time, he was worried for her.Adam was shell-shocked when he found Grace on his door, shivering like a leaf. Unruly hair, face soaked with tears, face pale as if she had seen a ghost. He was eager to punish the culprit who
"Mmpff!!"Xavier silenced her as he kissed her passionately. But Grace continued squirming in his hold so he coiled his long fingers around her dainty throat and pressed her head firmly against the headrest. His decision worked well as his kitten quickly turned immobile. He purposely glided his thumb on her throbbing pulse. Grace quickly got the signal and turned stiff as a board not bothering to annoy him anymore or else that freak wouldn't hesitate twice to snap her neck.Xavier on the other hand was amused at her scared mate. Grace squeezed her eyes shut and fisted the hem of her dress as his moist lips repeatedly crashed against her idle ones setting her emotions on fire."No, p-please..." she tried to keep her sanity at bay but his enchanting scent and that expensive cologne sprinkled on his leather jacket turned all her attempts in vain.While Grace was having an inner battle with her tempestuous emotions, Xavier was having the best time of his life. Moaning shamelessly against
"We've arrived."Xavier exclaimed and looked at Grace only to find her sleeping peacefully. Her left cheek was squished against her fist. She was snuggled in the comfy seat looking so adorable that Xavier didn’t want to disturb her."I hate cute things. But perhaps you'll be an exception," No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take his eyes off her. She looked so pure but a bit scared like a bunny which only amused him. Xavier stared at her for a good few seconds before leaning closer to her."Wake up, sleepyhead." He said and flicked her nose with his fingers. Grace groaned and instantly woke up."What the-" She opened her eyes annoyed but quickly jerked back after finding Xavier's face dangerously close to her. With a bated breath, she kept staring at his face when his gaze lowered to his swollen fuller lips which had her lipstick stains. The man was a big pervert for not wiping his mouth.But she was embarrassed and quickly averted her gaze. Her cheeks blazing with fire. Xavier
"My baby," The thought of her child instantly reverted her to motion. Grace circled her belly with her arm; shielding it from Xavier who was assessing her every move with dark eyes."The fuck you are doing," he rankled and prowled towards her. The way she portrayed him as a killer irked him. Xavier was himself confused because he liked it when people feared him. It was sadistic but pleasurable for him but Grace was an exception.Grace maintained his glare and continued retreating. She couldn't risk her child's safety. Even though her heart was hammering in her mouth, she kept stealing small glances to make a quick run. There's no way she can live under the same roof with that monster.Xavier's rage pinnacled. He knew what she was trying to do."Don't you dare," he snarled making Grace flinch. His predatory eyes were enough to freeze her soul but she continued moving back and Xavier kept moving towards her covering the distance between them."XAVIER!!!"A loud growl boomed grabbing the
The chirping of birds woke up the beauty from the sleep. Grace rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up straight. Her eyes mindlessly danced all over the room before halting at the side of her bed.A sigh escaped her lips watching Xavier who was sleeping beside her. With his right hand shielding his dark eyes, he looked so peaceful that made her wonder that he was the same who kills people ruthlessly. Her gaze slowly wandered to his bare chest. Tingles erupted in her belly watching the rhythmic rise and fall of his buff chest. An urge to listen to hear his heartbeat swirled inside her but Grace immediately averted her gaze scolding herself for even thinking something so absurd. Well, it wasn't a new thing because Xavier prefers to sleep without a tee or shirt. Grace shook her head but once again her eyes shifted back to him. She couldn't help but admire his eight-pack and toned chest. The sight stirred her emotions and no matter how hard she tried to resist it, she failed.After their fight,
"What's wrong?" Xavier who was also shocked by her actions asked her with knitted brows.Grace was looking at him with horrified eyes.'No way. There's no way I can forget it.'She started to shiver. How can she be so selfish? How can she be desperate to start afresh with the people who falsely accused her mother and didn't even think twice before beheading her?Xavier's gaze turned sharp when he noticed her increasing the distance between them. That instantly blew away the clouds of love that he had weaved around them. Fury swarmed in his eyes as he stalked closer to her and gripped her arm tightly."I am asking something," he roared not even caring that his grip would surely leave a nasty bruise on her flawless skin. Grace winced in pain and tried to pry his hands off him but he growled in response silencing her on the spot."I-I, I just can't erase the image of you killing those people." She confessed. Xavier cocked a brow, not getting what she was directed to. And that only turned
Grace was on the balcony enjoying the fresh air while sipping her brew. She was staring at the large stretch of green grass bedecked with vibrant flowers. She never knew that the mansion had such a beautiful garden but unfortunately, she could only admire this beauty from afar. Ever since encountering Nicholas, Grace limited her adventure and simply remained in her room. She got very dark and eerie vibes from that man who looked ravishingly handsome but his lecherous gaze had instilled a deep fear inside her.Xavier was out on a mission and no matter how embarrassing it sounded; she was missing him badly. He was the only person with whom she could talk. Grace didn't want to meet Nicholas and other than him no one wanted to meet her. It wasn't like they didn't want to but because of Damon's order who had strictly warned them to not socialize with that stranger. She somehow managed to survive two days but now it was becoming unbearable. Grace was never a caged bird and having not a sing
Mini was Phil's twin and a witch. The sixteen-year-old was madly in love with the brooding Beta. Yes, she loved Nicholas despite Phil's advice who had warned her a thousand times to leave this stubbornness. He always reminded her of the age difference but Mini's love was blind. She had given her heart to King and now there's no going back. Phil was aware that Nicholas didn't like her a bit. In fact, he hated both the brother and sister but their skills were his weakness. The duo was one of the most renowned witches in the entire clan.Mini scrunched her nose at his rudeness but soon let out a sigh."Fine. So, yeah you told me to find out how come Alpha remembers Gassy-""Grace." Nicholas corrected her making her roll her eyes."Whatever. Let me come to the point. How he remembers her even after raking the pills. Well, the answer is... pa pa para." She chimed before bringing her hands to the front.Nicholas cocked a brow, "What's this?""It has the answer to your question. Now come on
"The coast is clear."Grace padded and quickly hid behind the pillar. Holding her breath, she peeked at the guards who were deployed near Damon's room.Nicholas’ lie saved her life but ended up snatching her sleep. So, she decided to take a tour of the house but that was just an excuse to get her hand on Nicholas, the mysterious man who was her unexpected angel. He saved her but Grace wasn't pleased. She didn't know him and she was sure that he mustn't too then why this favor? It only hinted one thing that he knows her. But again, how?Suddenly heavy footsteps echoed in the area. Grace quickly hid behind the pillar and palmed her mouth when a deep voice rang in the hallway."Mike, go along with Draco. Call others too and get them ready for patrolling."'Who is he?' Grace thought as she tried to figure out the owner of that dominant tone. She was sure he wasn't Xavier."Aye, Beta," Mike said and turned his heels. Nicholas took a deep breath and then tilted his head to the left. A smirk
My eyes widened."A true Alpha never does that." Xavier drawled out.I quickly rebutted, "But you- you also-""I am cruel in your eyes, isn't it?" He justified his actions and threw me a sarcastic smile. "I am bad but you're good. Why didn't you help them and don't feed me the crap that you were trying to protect the baby because you can’t get pregnant in a day." Xavier said and in a flash caged me to the wall. I flinched in response and looked back only to realize that I was trapped now.It is the truth though. I was looking out for myself.Placing his palms on both sides of my head, he shifted closer. His eyes were dark and I knew he had caught me. But I said nothing and continued staring at him.'Are Alphas really that brave? But how would I know? The only Alpha I've known in my life was that monster. And after him, Dad changed my world. Felix was never happy with his past life so he readily accepted the human traits and I was so down for him that I did the same without any qualms.
GraceI have no answer to his question. Even if I manage to hide that I am Lara’s daughter, the one whom Damon accused of helping his wife elope with her lover, the mere fact that I am an omega is enough to get my neck sliced. We aren't welcome her, I know that but the billion-dollar question that arises is what should I do? What should I tell him? That I am a beta, a gamma, a rogue. Probably Lycan would work but then what about my pack? I don't even know the name of any other pack. It is because I was too young when we escaped and since then we embraced human life. Dad always kept me away from pack activities and the result is that apart from Dark Moon, I am completely clueless about the other clans."Come on, answer me." Xavier inquired with a raised brow. A flicker of irritation crossed his eyes because of my silence.My palms turned clammy.'I don't know. I know nothing, God.'Tears pooled in my eyes but I bit my lips suppressing my cries."I-I... I, uhm, I.." I stuttered pathetic
Xavier turned around and closed the door before bolting it. That was enough for Grace to run. Without thinking twice, she made a quick run to hide in the bathroom but Xavier was faster. Grabbing her left arm, he hurled her towards himself and held her firmly."Why the fuck are you always trying to escape from me?" He shouted on her face eliciting a loud cry from her mouth.Xavier was pissed at his father and Grace only fuel his anger more by constantly running away from him."N-No, please... Help!!" she started to thrash in his arms, her struggles turning violent. Grace was dead scared. The face of her mother drenched in blood and her wide dead eyes staring right into her teary eyes was all she could see at the moment. Damon killed everyone as a punishment but his hatred for her mother was more prominent and deep-rooted considering her closeness with Elisa. That beast purposely beheaded her in front of the whole pack to send a clear message of his hatred for the omegas.But Xavier was
"Who is the girl you brought here?" Damon asked Xavier who was slouched on the couch munching a packet of chips."And I've already told you that she is my girlfriend," Xavier answered him in a bored tone. Damon wasn't pleased at all. He approached him in three fast strides and snatched the packet from his hands before tossing it on the floor."Don't fucking play with me, boy. You know damn well what am I asking? Who is that girl? You can't just bring anyone here." He lashed out at him.Damon was furious when was informed that Xavier had returned with a girl. It wasn't a big concern until he got to know that the Alpha had strictly instructed the house staff to respect the girl and locked her inside his room and again, not before warning them not to disturb her.Damon instantly grew suspicious because his ruthless son who ruled the pack with an iron hand had abruptly taken a 360-degree turn. He was behaving like a possessive and protective boyfriend which Damon always feared.Xavier onl
