Garren's POV: I still couldn't believe the words I had said to her!. "I wouldn't kiss a girl I wasn't attracted to! Who the fuck says that?" I asked myself silently. What the fuck was wrong with me?. When she said those sad words, I felt different. I wanted to comfort her in any way and stop her from crying. That's why I decided to give her the phone, right after I had promised myself to destroy it. I was shocked at myself and how weak I was towards her. But as for my lycan, he had already made up his mind to do everything he could to make her feel comfortable. I was beginning to get scared of myself because I could see my future self letting her in just to keep her happy. I didn't trust myself around her anymore. I even got very angry at the thought of that asshole who had scarred her!. Her reactions were enough to let me know that the bastard who had made her cry was the same douchebag in her phone picture, and that made my heart ache. "Master Garren, are you okay?" Thelma
Roxanne's POV: The tingles that spread throughout my body made me and my wolf feel safe and very calm. A smile formed on my face as I inhaled his amazing scent deeply. It wasn't my intention to embrace him out of the blue. But seeing him try to comfort me in his own cold way made me want to cling to him for just a few minutes, even if he were to push me away. As I closed my eyes, I waited for the moment he would push me away or warn me off harshly as he usually did. When a few minutes went by without him doing anything, I opened my eyes and smiled as my wolf purred happily at how our mate wanted our closure as well. "Garren," I called in a whisper as I felt him tense. "Thank you," I said softly, then continued to talk. "I know how much you hate me because of what my father supposedly did to you. But if you can talk to me about it, we can..." I cut my sentence short when he pulled away and stood up with an angry expression on his face. "For a second there, I forgot who you real
Garren's POV: The restraint I had completely vanished after hearing her words, and they made me act rashly. I moved my two fingers, roughly thrusting them into her tight, wet pussy. She quickly grabbed my hand, trying to push it back as her breath picked up. She was still gazing into my eyes, but the confidence in them was replaced by fear. This wasn't what I wanted to do. Yes, I wanted to scare her a little, but not make her sad! She was the one who started this, and yet she was acting as if I was the one forcing myself on her. When tears formed in her eyes, I groaned softly and cursed under my breath. "Hey," I called softly as I leaned in closer, closing the little space between us. "I won't hurt you. Remember, I'm your mate," I whispered without thinking, then kissed her gently as she slowly began to respond. My fingers were stilled because I didn't want to scare her any further or have her compare me to that asshole in any way. "No, this position isn't working for me," I
Ian's POV: "Talk," I demanded immediately as we were in the office. Larson, Tamara, and Kylie were in the living room while the rest of us were in the office, looking at Lee and waiting for him to give us answers. "You see, by that man's movements, build, height, and aura, we all could tell that he wasn't a regular person, say human. And the fact that Roxanne couldn't pick up his scent or act in time meant something was wrong. She either knew him or realized something about..." He cut his sentence short when the door loudly opened and Kyle rushed in, naked and with labored breath. "Is it true?" he asked loudly. Amelia stood up and walked to him, her gaze lowered to the ground. She took off her coat and handed it to him to wear, which he quickly put on with an embarrassed expression on his face. We were so used to seeing most werewolves nude after their shift, but that didn't mean we were comfortable having them walk in front of us. It was kind of annoying and disrespectful. "Fo
Roxanne's POV: I was woken up by the sound of the door closing carelessly. I quickly sat upright, my eyes blurry, and blinked a few times. Once my vision cleared, I looked at the window. The curtains were wide open, revealing the nighttime darkness of the room with the lights turned off. I sadly looked at my empty bedside, then lay down, ignoring the fact that I was completely naked. I knew he wouldn't be next to me, but deep down in my heart, I wished he could be. Just the thought of him being away from me made my heart ache. After he had sunk his fangs into my skin for a second time, everything escalated quickly. His hands were on my body, and this time he lifted me up without a word and took me to the bedroom. There, he took off my boxers, touching me the same way he had done back in the living room. But unlike then, he took everything slowly and much more gently, as if he was exploring something so precious and interesting to him. As he drank from me, all I could do was enco
Roman's POV: "Useless and pathetic," I muttered as I took over pushing Garren into our subconscious. There was no way he was going to see past her actions, not after what she had done to his favorite woman. He was definitely going to hurt her. "What a waste of my effort," I whispered as I got to my feet. I had worked hard for days to manipulate his emotions. Although he felt something for our mate, I mostly manipulated his feelings and chose to intervene as much as I could until he would fall in love with her. I walked upstairs slowly and went directly to where my mate's beautiful scent was coming from. Although Garren and I were alike in some ways and shared the same body, we were very different. There were things that I could do that he couldn't, and there were things that I felt that he didn't. Besides my mate's intoxicating scent, I could easily predict her next move by her facial expression and body language. I saw everything coming right when he had hit her. Already, she
Roxanne's POV: I was pacing back and forth outside the bathroom, waiting for my mate to come out. A few minutes had passed, and he still hadn't emerged. When the door finally opened and he stepped out with Thelma behind him, I sighed in relief She looked at me for a moment, then gave a low bow, shocking me. When she had barged into the bathroom to save Bianca, my wolf took over and easily knocked her out. At that moment, we were both furious and wanted to kill her. However, the thought of our mate hating us made us decide to let her be. "Thank you very much. Master Garren explained how you saved my life from Lady Bianca," she said, as I instantly looked at my mate, who simply nodded. "It was the least I could do," I answered softly. "Now, Thelma, you know what to do. Make sure she is cleaned up and taken back to her place. If she remembers how you showed disrespect to her, she won't let you live," he ordered. "Yes, master," she answered, then went back into the bathroom. Garr
Garren's POV: She was crying yet again, and I was the bastard to blame. My lycan was furious with me, and I felt very angry with myself as well. Her words not only cut deep through my heart, but they also made me realize how unfair I was to her. It wasn't her fault that I was her mate; it was fate's fault. And just because I hated her father, I had no right to hurt her. If she wasn't Ian's child, would I have loved her? Without a doubt. In a few days, she proved to be what I secretly wanted in a woman. She was strong, courageous, intelligent, and sensitive in bed. As much as I wanted her, it always occurred to me whose child she was. But after hearing her sad words, I felt something in me break. I wanted to treat her right, even if it was just for a moment. I wanted to be the guy she wanted badly. I wanted to be her mate, but for some reason, I just couldn't. I pulled back and raised my hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks. "Roxanne, if you truly want to be with me and if you
