Tanya's POV Love? Did he just say love? No, I must have misheard him."Tanya, I said I love you," he repeated.I frowned as my vision became blurred with unshed tears."If you are lying to me or....""Stop that," he whispered, cutting me off.I wasn't strong enough to take such a joke. If he wasn't serious about his words, he was going to hurt me badly."I love you, I really do," he said, then smiled.I sniffed and covered my face with my hands as tears rolled down my cheeks.I dropped my hands when he wrapped his arms around me."I know how hard it is to believe my words, but the truth is that I am seriously in love with you. Teresa was an important part of my life, but when I met you, I felt it from the bottom of my heart that you were who I wanted a future with," he said softly.I pulled back and looked at him seriously."Yet you will still marry her," I pointed out huskily."Do you not understand what I mean when I say I love you?" he asked.I understood what it meant, but that w
Kyle's POV Something wasn't right; I could feel it. Something somewhere was totally wrong.I sat upright on my bed, thinking hard about how to talk to my mate without angering her or getting upset with her."She is difficult to handle," my wolf said, and then huffed.He was annoyed with her, but at the same time, he liked that about her."She's different and kind of unique in her own way. I agree she is a little childish and acts spoiled most of the time, but that is part of her charm. To be honest, I am tired of arguing with her," I answered, and then stood and walked to the window, looking at the pack members who were moving around."I know Dad had it hard too with Mom, and that it took a long time for him to work it out. I seriously don't want to go through that or experience any of his past experiences," I said softly, and then frowned when I saw Lui open the door to his car. Yuki and Akira got in, and soon after, he followed.I took a sharp breath and then quickly rushed out of
Ian's POV "The fundraising party was worth it, don't you think?" I asked Amelia with a smile while driving past the pack's border."It sure was, because Lexi got to meet another powerful witch, and we got to make Alpha Jace our friend," she answered, then smiled back.I didn't like Jace because I had heard a lot about him. He wasn't the same now that he had an Alpha mate. His past ways were similar to mine. I heard he had a lover while he abused his mate until she died right in front of his eyes. That was his turning point because he lost his mind for quite some time. If not for the powerful witch who resurrected her, he could have gone rogue. He was strong too, and surprisingly, we had a few things in common, which I found so fucking annoying."The twins didn't like him or his cousin Glen that much, but they warmed up to him when they saw how much Lexi was enjoying their talk," she said.Of course, they hated Jace because they, too, had heard about his ways. As for Glen, we both hate
Ian's POV I brushed my hand through my hair and sighed heavily. Amelia was sitting next to me on the couch while Kyle and Larson sat opposite us. Toni and Neo were standing close to the entrance, leaning against the wall, and they both looked very upset."So that's everything that happened?" Neo asked coldly."Yes," Kyle answered in a low tone.Hearing what went on during our absence was disappointing and a mess.What shocked me the most was how Kyle acted."I would understand seeing such behavior from Lui, Tamara, Akira, and Yuki, but not you two. We raised you well and taught you how to handle yourselves as well as others in different situations. Kyle, you are usually reserved, and your judgment on things is never clouded. You getting upset is understandable, but not to the extent of making the situation worse. As for you, Larson, I understand how desperate and scared you were to lose your mate, but did you have to take out your anger on your cousin without talking to him? Did you
Axel's POV"Why are you here?" Felix asked Ian after opening the door."Step aside and let me in, Felix," he answered simply.She hesitated but then stepped aside."Thank you for greeting me warmly," he mocked and then walked in, going straight to the living room where Tamara sat, looking at her phone seriously."Waiting for a call?" he asked.She looked up and quickly got to her feet with a fake smile on her face."No. Oh, Uncle Ian, I didn't hear you walk in. I'm sorry," she answered and then moved closer.When she tiptoed and kissed our cheek, we picked up the scent of tears."Were you crying?" he asked once she had pulled back."No," she answered simply."She's lying," I whispered."I know," he answered back."Are you perhaps waiting for Larson to call?" he asked as her expression changed.She looked hurt and sad, and her eyes were filled with tears."Ian, if you start talking about that brat, I will have to ask you to leave," Felix warned as soon as she walked in."Felix, that br
Lui's POV "Should we take a rest?" my father asked seriously.I was tired and out of breath, yet I didn't want to stop."No, let's continue," I answered."Lui, since you all came back from Ian's pack, you have been looking gloomy and acting differently. Did something happen that made you all upset?" he asked."If something did upset me, I would have told you. Did I not tell you that we all had an amazing time because Yuki found out that Kyle is her mate?" I asked.The day Larson told me to leave, I wasted no time in letting Akira and Yuki know what he had said. I expected them to protest, but shockingly, they both decided to leave. The drive back home was quiet, and when we reached, we had to pretend that we were okay and happy when deep down we weren't."You did, and I was shocked as well as happy that Yuki got a strong Alpha for a mate. But I am your father, and I can tell when you are not telling me everything or when you are lying," he answered.I was about to respond when he fro
Ian's p.o.v "Ahh, Al..pha, slower, pl..ease slower." The female rogue pleaded in a labored breath. Sweat was running on her thin back and her long brown hair was messy from my strong grip. I smirked then drove my cock into her with force as she cried out. Her back was towards me while my hands and body were being supported by the table below her. Her legs, which were spread apart, were badly quivering. My eyes trailed from her back to her firm ass. Just knowing that she would have the guts to try and seduce me when I had just ambushed her pack and killed most of her people was a turnoff. But then again I was very bored and needed to have some fun, what better way than to make use of her body. After all, she had a nice figure. "Please alpha it hurts!" She screamed out when my grip on her hair tightened. I sighed loudly then pulled out of her. I was no longer turned on or hard. I actually felt upset over her annoying voice and fake cries. She fell on the gro
Amelia's p.o.v "But I am your mate." I whispered with tears rolling on my cheeks as his expression turned cold. My mate...was already mated. I couldn't believe his words. They hurt so bad and my wolf was whimpering in pain. He slowly knelt and faced me. At that very moment, I feared for my life and my heart picked up. His eyes were slowly turning into a shade of red. He looked very upset with me and his expression was deadly. I quickly lowered my gaze to the ground. "I have heard that sentence quite a lot, so if I ever hear those words again from your dirty lips, I promise to rip you into shreds. Am I clear?" He asked huskily. His voice held a binding dominance. I moved back slightly and bit my lower lip hard. There was no way I was agreeing to such a command no matter how much my wolf wanted to submit. Why was I not allowed to say that when it was the truth. "I said, am I clear?" He asked again but this time emitting his strong pheromones that forced any lower ra
