Kyle's POV"August left and said he will be back soon. I'm guessing he meant a few weeks from now," Aunt Whitney announced when she stepped into the living room."Is he upset over us asking him questions?" Uncle Neo asked."No, he just wants some time to think through everything," she answered."Now that he is gone, may I speak freely? Going for a human who isn't his mate is rather a horrible idea. Not only will she find it a troublesome secret to keep if she is told about our kind, she may live in fear and blame each and every mistake on what he is," Nana said coldly."You are right, mother, but I believe there are very few humans that are different. Those that truly love and understand us the way we are," my father answered as my mother smiled."I don't mind August finally having someone by his side. My main concern is, how safe is it for her to know about our packs and secrets?The next thing you know, she will be on the news channel reporting stuff, or she may turn out to be a frea
August's POV"Are you okay? Your hand is shaking, and you haven't said much in an hour," Teresa asked in concern.I leaned forward and grabbed a cup of coffee that was on the table. The coffee had been given to me half an hour ago, and it was now cold. I carefully moved it to my lips, and it spilled a bit."Mom, is he like... You know... like... not well?" her daughter asked softly.She was leaning against the living room's door frame, looking at me with a concerned expression."He is fine, I think. So don't worry," Teresa answered and then quickly grabbed the cup from my hand before I could put it back."Hey, you are now scaring me. What seems to be the problem?" She asked softly as I frowned deeply and then leaned in without warning and kissed her lips lightly.I was about to deepen the kiss when my wolf growled at me and took partial control, forcing me to pull back."Nothing," I whispered in disbelief.I felt nothing from the kiss! How was that even possible?Whenever I kissed her
Tanya's POVI glanced at him, then focused on the road, feeling conflicted. A few minutes ago, he looked like he wanted nothing to do with me. To be honest, he looked like he wanted to avoid me at all costs. He couldn't even gaze at me or just look at me for more than a minute. I felt bad over his actions, but I chose not to show it or say anything.But now, looking at him, he seemed very different and his voice sounded a little deeper. Not only was he not taking his eyes off of me, he couldn't stop smiling at me."So you are twenty?" He asked as my heart picked up.That was the question I wanted to avoid for some reason. I was afraid of how he would react if he knew how old I was.No, he was my mother's lover. Why was I even thinking like that?"I'm turning eighteen soon," I answered nervously and then glanced at him to see his expression.He was no longer smiling at me, and that made me feel sad. I quickly pulled to the side and parked the car."What, was it a turn-off for you?" I a
Tamara's POV"Are you okay remaining behind?" Akira asked me seriously."Yes, I am," I answered softly and then lifted my suitcase from the ground and put it on the bed.I was grateful to Kyle, who had brought me my suitcase, and weirded out by Larson, who was standing at the door not saying a word."Did you have to threaten them like that?" She asked."You mean my parents? Yes, I had to. Do you know how my parents are? They would have slept here if I hadn't done that. Asking them to leave and saying how I would never visit them or step foot here if they refused to go was like the cherry on top of a cake," I answered and then frowned when Larson chuckled."Your mother looked so upset," she said seriously.I faced her and then smiled."My mother is not upset with me. She's upset with herself for not convincing me to let her stay. And believe me, she will be here tomorrow. She rarely gives up; that's something we sh....,"I cut my sentence short when I realized how wrong it would sound w
Larson's POV"How are you holding up, my dear?" My mother's voice came through the passage, startling me.I grabbed Tamara's shoulders and pushed her back carefully.She had a trail of blood rolling down her chin that made her look very sexy. I wanted to kiss her so badly, sadly I couldn't. Not until I had handled my mother.Her eyes were a bright red, and her breath was labored.She looked dazed, and she smelled crazily addictive because of her arousal."Mother, don't walk in here," I said huskily before she could."Why?" She asked through our mind-link as I looked at my erection."I hope you aren't bullying Tamara like you did in the ...,""Mother, do you know what mates do after being apart for a very long time? If you don't, then please be my guest and walk in. But don't freak out over what you will see," I warned through our mind-link."Oh my, I see. Please don't mind me, I'll quickly go back," she answered after gasping and then giggled.I sighed softly and then took a step back
August's POV"What? You all have been staring at me as if I am a stranger," I said coldly."So all these years you were yearning to be loved and cared for by your own mate, she wasn't even born? Like that's something you rarely see or hear of. Oh my goodness, how's it even possible that she turned out to be your lover's kid! Did you by any chance offend the moon goddess in your life?" Felix asked, annoying me."Are you making fun of me right now, Samantha?" I asked back seriously."She's not doing that intentionally, it's just that we are all very shocked. Who could have known that your mate was human too," Jeannie answered."Look, I would appreciate it if you guys kept this from Ian and Whitney. I don't want them to be involved in my personal business," I said as Felix raised a brow and then chuckled in a mocking tone."You don't get to tell me what to do or what not to do," she answered as I moved to the edge of the couch."I am not telling you Felix, I am asking you to keep it to y
August's POVI waited patiently in my room as Whitney's phone kept on ringing.After the talk we had in the living room, I made up my mind to tell her what was happening."Did you miss me already?" She asked when she picked up."I don't know what to do," I whispered softly."What's wrong? Did something bad happen? Did Felix do something to you?" She asked loudly."No, it's not that," I answered."Then did Teresa act badly after she found out what we are?" She asked."No, it's not that either," I answered."Then what seems to be the problem?" She asked."So I went to visit Teresa and I felt so different, like something big was about to happen and guess what? It did," I answered sadly."Oh my goddess, did she cheat on you?" She asked in nearly a scream."No, I met my mate at her place," I answered as she screamed happily."That's amazing! You should thank the moon goddess for showing you kindness. Congratulations on finding her, you must be thrilled!I wish I could give you a hug right n
Tanya's POV"Darling, we should get going; your father must be tired of waiting," my mother said as I looked at my phone sadly.It was six pm going on seven, and August was nowhere to be seen. I knew it was too good to be true when he promised to come and see me off, yet I chose to believe him. I felt like the biggest loser because I was still hoping that he could appear out of nowhere and smile at me."I am waiting for someone to deliver something I ordered online," I lied."Tanya, you have been saying this for hours now, yet no one has come. I told you, you can't stay with me. So if this is your way of not going back, it won't work. I will be traveling out of the country for some days, and I can't just leave you here alone. You are not a kid, but you aren't an adult either," she said as I stood up from the couch, grabbed her car keys which were on the table, then rushed out of the living room as she followed while calling out my name.I got into the car, locked the door, and then st
