August's POVI was woken up by the sound of heavy rain pouring. I looked at Teresa and noticed how she was already deep in sleep.After the conversation that took place, I decided to stay for supper just to be sure they were both okay. After eating, I was about to leave when she insisted I spend the night with her. At first, I really wanted to reject her offer, but then again, I didn't want her to wonder what was wrong, because there had never been a day I had refused such an offer. I agreed and went on to take a bath with her, making sure my eyes weren't on her body.When it was time for bed, she tried to touch me, but I felt nothing again. I had to lie and tell her I was very tired and stressed out throughout the day to make her back away, which worked. We lay down and soon fell asleep in each other's arms until the sound of rain woke me up.I yawned, then stood up carefully and went out of the bedroom to the kitchen to get a glass of water.Once I had drunk the water, I walked back
August's POVI was woken up by a low groaning that sounded as if someone was in pain. I sat upright and rubbed my eyes a few times before moving to the edge of the bed and grabbing a note that was on the headboard.I looked at it and then smiled widely."I did kiss you, and I'll kiss you again when I knock off from work. Love, Teresa,” I read."What a liar," I whispered, and then stood up and went straight to the bathroom to wash my face and clean my teeth with one of the toothbrushes I had brought over."Something isn't right," my wolf whispered."Everything is fine," I answered, and then walked out of the room.I was about to go into the living room when I heard a low groan. I quickly turned and rushed into Tanya's bedroom.She was still lying down on her bed with the coat on her, but this time she was sweating a lot.I quickly moved closer and knelt down while resting my hand on her forehead.She had no fever, yet her expression looked as if she was in pain.She opened her eyes and
Larson's POV"Let me get this straight: you made her cookies?" I asked Kyle in the living room seriously. We were sitting next to each other on a couch.He looked at me furiously and then shifted his gaze to the side."Well, yes, more like special cookies," he answered."And instead of taking them to Yuki's room, you were so exhausted that you decided to sleep?" I asked."Well, yes," he answered simply."And when you woke up, the cookies were not where you had left them in the kitchen?" I asked with a raised brow."Exactly," he answered seriously."And now you want to kill whoever ate or took them?" I asked as he looked at me and then nodded."Seriously, Kyle, is that the reason you were making such a fuss in the morning?" I asked."I was very worried, thinking something big had happened," I said honestly."You don't understand how hard I worked to make them; that alone was something big. I was so tired that I couldn't even see my mate when I told her I would visit her room to say goo
Tanya's POV"How are you feeling?" August asked in the living room. He was standing close to the entrance, as if keeping a distance from me while I sat on the couch.Not only did he prepare a bath for me and breakfast, but he was now preparing lunch. To him, it was definitely a fatherly act, but not to me."I love it when you act like a caring boyfriend," I said honestly, and that seemed to make him uncomfortable because he took a step back."I told you a million times....""Yes, you did. You like me as a father would, and soon I'll be your stepdaughter and friend," I said, cutting him off.He glared at me and then took a step forward."I don't see you as a daughter or a friend, and I never will," he answered, surprising me."Then... what do you see me as?" I asked softly.I could see it on his face how he was thinking hard about how to respond."If you ask me, I am sexually attracted to you, and if I might add, I....""Family, not my daughter or friend, but family," he quickly answer
Tamara's POVI walked around with a scarf covering my neck. After what he did to me, I was left stunned and at a loss for words, so I ran to my room and got a scarf to cover a few hickeys that were showing.When I walked out of the pack house, I was very nervous because it was sunny, yet I was wearing a scarf."What an asshole," I said in a low tone and then glanced behind me to see Larson walking further away with a smirk.Why was he even following me when he was the one who acted as if it was a bother to be seen with me?I stopped walking and turned to look at him."Why are you following me?" I asked seriously as he moved closer.When he stood in front of me, I held my breath for a second."I'll be damned if I let any male be around you," he answered, and I frowned angrily."See, this is very confusing. Did I not ask you to give me a tour of the pack, and you refused?" I asked."I didn't refuse; I was just suspicious of your change of heart," he answered simply."Fine, so why are yo
Larson's POV"Sorry," I whispered when I pulled back from the kiss. My gaze was lowered to the ground because I didn't want to see the angry look on her face.The last time I kissed her, she was so upset that she asked me to leave her room. This time, I was expecting her to walk away."You really like kissing, huh? Is it your hobby to kiss women who talk to you?" she asked as I looked up coldly."Do you see me going around kissing whoever talks to me?" I asked back angrily."I don't, because I don't follow you around like a damn dog," she responded seriously."Then how about you follow me around?" I asked."Are you calling me a dog right now?" she asked back loudly."You just did, not me!" I exclaimed, then flinched when a slap landed on my cheek."You are the worst asshole I know!" she screamed."How do you expect me to react and answer when your words were clearly disrespectful? I talked to Akira, Yuki, Tamara, and even other elderly omegas! Did you see me kiss them? How can you ass
August's POVI was wondering how the hell I was still at Teresa's place. Back then, I usually spent the night and went back home the next day. But since Tanya went through pain, I couldn't bring myself to leave. I didn't want to admit it, but it was because I was concerned about her.I knew it was a natural thing most ladies went through, but I still got worried when I read that for some, it went on for a few days. Teresa always went to work, so what could happen if she was in such pain again and I wasn't around?I got startled when a warm hand was pressed against my cheek.“Hey,” Tanya whispered as I instantly relaxed when the tingles spread throughout my body."What's on your mind?" she asked softly."Nothing," I answered and then grabbed her hand to push it away when she smiled softly."I thought you would leave that same day, but I guess I was wrong," she said softly. Then she stood upright and pulled back her hand.I wanted to grab it and stay the way we were a few seconds ago, b
Kyle's POVA few days had gone by without Larson talking to me or crossing my path. At first, I thought he was angry with me for being mentioned in the conversation. That's why he needed time. But now it was so obvious that Tamara must have said something terrible that had driven a wall between us.I furiously walked to her room and knocked."Come in," she answered simply.When I opened the door, I picked up my mate's scent.I walked in and looked at her and then at Tamara seriously."Wow, just wow, I haven't seen you in days, and yet here you are. Not in my room but in my best friend's room. Are you insane?" she asked furiously as I took a deep breath to calm my wolf and myself."Yuki, I am so sorry for not seeing you these past few days. I have been having a rough few days as well," I answered honestly.She stood up and folded her arms."And that's the best you can say to me?" she asked.She was beginning to annoy the hell out of me."I said I'm sorry," I replied."And that's all?"
