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
Neo's POV: I was very nervous as the pack came into view. For hours we had been driving and we were all preparing ourselves for anything that would come our way. Calling the Alpha of the pack was a good idea, but if we did he wouldn't have accepted to see us. That's why we had decided to go in without informing him and that was a risk we were all taking. Trespassing or stepping on the grounds of another Alpha's territory meant either war or death but we really wanted his help. When we crossed the pack's border I noticed a few warriors hiding in the bushes on each side. They were definitely waiting for their Alpha's orders. "Oh wow," Toni whispered beside me when the pack house came into view. "It's magnificent isn't It?" Lee asked at the back seat "For a pack house it definitely is," Whiteny who sat next to Lee responded. Since our discussion back at Felix's house, we had no time to waste so we packed a few things that we would need and got into our cars then started off. The
Roxanne's POV: I looked out the window with a low sigh as Garren drove in silence. I wrote the letter that I left for Thelma to drop off, although I had my doubts if she would actually do it. Everything felt so unreal and rushed, but the decision was already made and there was no going back. I wanted to be with my mate. "It may be a test," my wolf whispered. "I know," I silently answered. Test or not, I didn't care. The plan was simple: all I had to do was make him fall in love with me as soon as possible. Then I was going to convince him to go back with me to my pack. There, we would explain everything to my parents and hopefully stay for a little bit before finding our own place. I looked at my mate's free hand, which was on his thigh, then slowly moved mine and pressed it against his. "I'm driving," he said coldly without looking at me. "I know," I answered without taking my hand away from his. It was no secret that he was extremely wealthy. From his clothes to his mansi
Damon's POV: I had been staring coldly at Ian's Beta for over an hour without saying a word, contemplating ways to kill him without interference. The room was silent, as everyone could feel the tension. I wanted nothing more than to exact revenge on the bastard for blinding my incredible mate in the past. Sherry sat in a chair in my office, still wearing her blindfold to conceal her ability to see from Ian and his friends. Originally, my plan was to escort her to our bedroom and have the twins look after her, but she became stubborn and insisted on accompanying me. When I refused, her wolf growled angrily as a warning, so I allowed her to stand next to me in my office. After all, she was my Luna and mate. "Alpha Damon, please stop glaring at my Beta. It's been hours, and he's feeling uncomfortable and intimidated by you," Ian said seriously. If he truly felt that way, then it was good. I wanted him to be so intimidated that he would die. "Neo, don't you have something to say to
Ian's POV: All that went through my mind was, "It's all my fault," over and over again. If I hadn't allowed others to come with me and Felix that night, everything wouldn't have happened. Aurora's hand went on my thigh, tapping there a few times. "Is there a way to track him down or find him?" Lee asked. "Now the traitor speaks. Is this how you repay me for showing you my generosity years ago?" Damon asked coldly. It was clear he wanted Lee to keep his mouth shut about his pack. "Cut it out, will you," I whispered softly, trying to calm myself down. "You don't get to tell me shit, Ian. This is my..." "Quiet!" Axel growled angrily when he took over for a second. The room instantly fell silent, and no one dared to move. In his voice was not only dominance but also a clear warning. If he continued mocking us, we would gladly take him down. Just because I was playing the meek act towards him so I could get his help, it didn't mean Axel was in on it. When I knelt down in front
