One more chapter is coming up in one or two hours. I just need to finish some chores ✨🦋
KAEL.I saw Dexter’s hand coiled on his sides. I met his gaze and told him what to do next. “Go to the bank first thing tomorrow morning and freeze all her accounts. I also want records of her transactions in the last two years, three if possible.”“I can do that,” Dexter said, nodding his head in respect. “Where is Luna Adessa?”“I don’t know,” I answered, leaning forward on my desk again. “I’ll be out for a week or two starting tomorrow.”“What?” They asked in unison. “Where are you going?” Dexter asked.“I have some business to attend to. All I need is a guarantee this pack will be handled efficiently.”“I don’t think you’ll have a problem with that. I’ve been managing this pack in your absence while you were in a coma, but I need to know your whereabouts and what else to expect.”“But you have Luna Adessa giving the final decisions for everything.” Landon butted him, debunking his words. Dexter’s forehead creased before he responded to that. “She has the last say, but we both kno
KAEL.I looked at the photos in my hands, and I still couldn’t believe everything that was revealed to me. The man who gave me this information had been gone for some time, and yet the conversation between us kept playing in my head. “I have the information about your girlfriend, Alpha Kael.” He said after I acknowledged his greetings. “Ex-girlfriend.” I corrected him before I pointed to the chair in front of my desk, motioning for him to sit down. “Let’s get to the point, as I don’t have the luxury of time today.”He nodded his head, then placed a brown envelope on the table and pushed it toward me before taking his seat. “That’s what I collected in the forty-eight hours that I followed her. She didn’t go anywhere besides that apartment. They went out three times—to a drive-through and bought groceries .”My forehead creased. “They?”“You will understand more once you see the photos inside.” Without saying anything more, I grabbed my letter opener and proceeded to open the envelope
KAEL.I left the territory after lunch. But before that, I met my staff at the Central Hall. I informed them I would be out of the territory for the next two weeks, and Alpha Rasmus would take charge of the pack in my absence.I could see they had questions about why Rasmus was needed, so before anyone could ask, I told them there was serious going on in the pack that needed a decision from an Alpha. They didn’t argue anymore or question that.But then someone asked about Adessa and what I knew about what happened to her. I was itching to tell them I would stand by their former Luna and support her, but I kept my opinion to myself. I reminded them that I would not entertain any more questions about her as her case was ongoing. It looked like I was turning my back on her. But it didn’t matter to me. It was enough that Adessa knew I was on her side.The last thing I wanted was for news to spread that I was defending her. The person handling her case might assume I was hiding her and inc
KAEL.Would I be strong enough to protect her? Or am I driving her into more danger? I wanted to mark her again to keep my wolf stronger than he already was. Regardless of whether it was fated or just a regular mate, the venom of an Alpha mixing with a female feeds strength to his wolf. I felt that when we rejected each other, a part of my wolf lost its strength. He was still strong, but he could be stronger. As much as I wanted to maximize my strength to protect her, the Moonlight Ball was specifically organized for unmated Alphas and females. She might not be allowed entrance if she had a mark on her neck. Rasmus was able to sneak in an invite for me because I finally confessed to him that Adessa and I were divorced. He asked why, but I told him I would explain when I came back. I had no choice. Aside from the ball, sooner or later, he would still find out through the news that she was no longer my Luna, as I was sure the investigators were already digging into her life. However
ADESSA.“A sleepy shifter won’t emit an aroused scent, Adessa,” Kael said, and I felt him move away from me. I remained still with my eyes closed, clutching my blanket tightly. I was so brave yesterday in telling him I would pleasure him as long as he returned safely, but I was cowering at the moment. What if he ended up not satisfied? What if I couldn’t make him cum?Or what if, like last time, we had sex and his mind drifted off to Desiree?Wait!Did he say he broke up with Desiree after he bought that ring back? “Kael?” I said in almost a whisper.“Hmmm…” He mummed. “Why did you break up with Desiree?”“I have a wife.” He answered in a monotone voice.“We are divorced.”“Because I decided hastily. I shouldn't have done that. If I didn't, then you're still my wife."I remained quiet, not knowing what to say."Up to this moment, I'm still trying to connect the dots on things I don't understand. Sometimes, I would knock my head onto something to see if I would end up remembering a
KAEL.“Are you sure?” I asked Adessa to confirm that I wasn’t hallucinating.She didn’t reply but cupped my face and pulled me toward her. My hand moved up and grabbed her nape, pushing her closer as our lips collided.Soft, sensual moans escaped her throat, and it gave me the assurance that she wanted this as much as I did. I began kissing her brutally hard, and Adesa didn’t disappoint. She kissed me back hungrily, moving her lips sensually and aggressively as her arms wrapped around my neck.I rolled us over, lying her on her back as I hovered over her body, making sure that I didn’t put my whole weight on her. She pulled away to gasp for air, tilting her head up, and my mouth dove into her neck, kissing and nibbling her soft skin as my hand trailed down her thigh. She wore satin short pajamas, which made it easy for me to reach her ass.Adessa’s legs wrapped around my hips, pressing her core into my already hard cock, making a growl rumble in my chest. Her fingers coiled around my
KAEL.“You need to leave. Now!” Rasmus said, and I could hear the urgency in his voice. “Shit! It’s fucking midnight!” I brushed my hand over my hair while the other was on my hips.I turned around to look at Adessa. She was sitting, the blanket covering up to her waist. The color had gone out of her face. “You need to go. In approximately forty minutes, they’ll reach the packhouse,” Rasmus said.“Put your clothes on. We’re leaving,” I told Adessa in a much calmer voice. She nodded, and I stepped out of the room and closed the door. “I’ll prepare something that you can take with you on the road,” Aunt Aria said as she walked away from us. I thanked her, but I was not sure if she heard me because she was walking too fast. “How the fuck they ended up here? And at midnight?” I asked, still in disbelief.“I have no answer for that, but it didn’t matter at this point. Here…” He handed me a pouch, and I opened it. “Good thing they gave me this after dinner. Or tomorrow would be too late.
KAEL.We’d been driving for almost two hours, and Adessa had fallen asleep. She was tired from all the running and hiding she’d been doing these past few weeks, so I let her sleep while I did my best to keep myself awake. I could take my sleep once we were on our way to the north. For now, I needed to get us as far away from here as possible. I was almost at the Bellouf Theme Park when my phone rang. It startled Adessa. Adessa’s hands flew out in the air as she gasped for breath. My hand went to her thigh, tapping it twice before rubbing it gently.“I’m here…” I mumbled loudly enough for her to hear while the phone continued to ring.She turned her head in my direction, and when she saw me, it was only then that her shoulders relaxed, and she sank back into her seat.I smiled at her before I spoke. “Rasmus is calling. You can go back to sleep.”She shook her head before she leaned her head to the window, crossing her arms across her chest, her eyes focusing on the dark road in fron
KAEL.“I love you, Kael.” Adessa’s voice came out soft, but I was sure I heard it. My foot stepped on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden halt, making our bodies jolt forward. “I’m sorry,” she gasped as her hands held onto the dashboard before her as if it could stop her from slamming there, but she had a seatbelt on, so I knew she was safely tucked in her seat.“Did you just say what I heard you say?” I asked, ignoring the apology that came out of her lips because I had no idea what she was apologizing for. “Well…” She stammered, then flashed me an embarrassed smile. “You said it first.” “I said. So you think…” A smile tugged at my mouth, but my eyes were watering. “...it was appropriate and polite to say it back?” I couldn’t contain the happiness in my chest.I had always been a storm, and Adessa was definitely sunshine. It was easy to love her, but I felt good and exhilarated knowing this little ball of sunshine and butterflies had fallen in love with me despite the bad w
ADESSA.“I will make sure your perfect little wife will bow down to me and eat whatever fucking thing I serve her! And I will make you watch it…” Alpha Draco's words echoed in my head.Goosebumps rose from my skin as cold chills ran down my spine. I tried not to be frightened, but hearing him talk like that was like hearing a devil come to life. I coiled my hands into tight fists to stop my body from trembling. And Kael saw that. He kept looking at me as he spoke back to him. “Over my dead body, fucker. Stay on your line, or hide. Because this time, I’ll be the one hunting you!” He didn’t allow him to respond. After he was done talking, he dropped the call and threw the phone onto the dashboard before stepping on the brakes, halting the car. He turned to look at me and reached for my hand. “Adessa, look at me!”My eyes were watering, and I knew my tears would fall if I turned to him. I didn’t want to cry anymore. “Adessa, look at me.” He repeated, softer this time. But as much as
ADESSA.My mind was flying the whole time I was on Kael’s back. If he were not with me, I would think I was hallucinating, that all of this danger around me has resulted in my head going crazy.But I knew everything was real. I felt it in my hands. I saw it with my eyes. And I heard Kael confirm it. I healed him, but I had no idea how it was possible. Kael opened the car’s passenger door and let me in before throwing his duffel bag at the back seat. We stopped to pick it up when we passed by the area where I left it, and he was able to change into his clothes after he shifted back into his human. “I don’t know what I did there,” I told him the moment he started driving.“Have you done it before? Am I aware that you could heal before I lose my memory?” He asked without looking at me, concentrating on navigating around bushes and trees. “No. I have never done it before. This is the first time.”“So I was the first one you healed.” He said, and a smile cracked on his face, which made
ADESSA.It was not Kael’s wolf. Someone found me.Instead of running back to Kael as I originally planned, I spun around and started to sprint away. But this time, I went to where I saw many trees that were closer to each other. I had no idea how far I could run before it would reach me. All I knew was I needed to survive so I could find Kael. I kept looking back, and when I was sure the wolf was treading the same path I took, including maneuvering himself on narrow bushes and trees, I ran head-on to the two trees standing close to each other and slipped my thin frame in between them, hoping his momentum would not let him steer away from this path. My body landed on the other side with a big thud, and I immediately turned around, hands gripping the earth as I anticipated his next move. With wide eyes, I watched as the wolf leaped into the air, only for his body to be trapped between the two trees. He growled loudly, saliva dripping and eyes dilating as he struggled to break free.
KAEL.The moment the gun fired, I knew I couldn’t just keep running. I was sure my wolf could fight off the bullet as long as it was not silver, but it could be fatal for Adessa.She stopped screaming, but her legs and arms around me were in a vice grip, and despite my movement, I could feel her body shaking. I knew it wouldn’t be long before her tiredness and fear could take over, and she might eventually slip and fall from my back.I had to do something. I made an abrupt turn to the right, navigating a narrow path that would make it hard for a car to follow but still possible, especially since they were prepared for this and were driving a Jeep Wrangler.The thing with this forest is that the trees grew with wide spaces between them, so a hardcore car could definitely just sweep over those little bushes here and there. I stopped running when there was already a great distance between us, and I couldn’t see them. I immediately lowered my body to the ground, and Adessa slid down from
KAEL. “How much time do we have?” I asked Erika as I put on my shoes. “I don’t know.” She replied while helping Adessa to zip up our bags.“Adessa, the pouch.” I reminded her. “I have it.”“Where is Sasha?” I asked. “In her room. I will deal with her later. You need to leave now. Don’t use the trail you took going here, as I’m sure that’s the same one they will come from. Do you still remember that secret exit I showed you before?”I nodded. It had been decades, but I knew where it was. I just hoped the landmarks hadn’t changed yet. “I’m sorry. I wished I had seen this coming. I knew she would never hurt Kael, so I thought…” Her tears fell again, and I felt the misery inside her. I should have told her about all the other things Sasha did to the women in my life. Then, maybe we could have avoided this. But more than Erika, this was all my fault. I should have seen this coming. She would never hurt me, but she surely didn’t have any reservations about the women in my life.But I
ADESSA. We had just calmed down from a wild sex. My head rested on Kael’s arm while my hand was playing on his chest while he was staring at the ceiling, his heartbeat already returning to its normal pace.“Kael…” I mumbled, letting my fingers trail down his chiseled abs down to his washboard stomach.“Hmm…”“Next time that we have sex, we need to use a condom.”“Next time? Will there be a next time?” He asked. I felt my cheeks burning, but I tried not to show his response embarrassed me. “Oh, I mean. Of course, only if you want. I’m not going to force you. Sex should be consensual…” I couldn’t stop my mouth from talking, but even before I could finish my litany, Kael had already moved in a swift motion. It was so fast that I just found him hovering over my body, our faces parallel and just inches away from each other, while his arm was on my side, propped against the mattress so that he was not crushing me beneath him. I swallowed and smiled sheepishly.A smirk tugged at his mout
KAEL.Adessa continued to whimper, her body shuddering at her release. I didn’t even give her time to enjoy her orgasm before I reached for her waist and lowered her from the bed, positioning her onto my thighs while I remained half kneeling on the floor.She looked at me with her mouth parted and lust in her eyes.I didn’t need to tell her what to do. She knew exactly how to proceed like we had done this in this position before.She reached for her pussy and opened her folds wider before I positioned her onto my erection. The moment her folds welcomed the tip of my shaft, she removed her hand and arched her body backward.I plunged my throbbing cock into her without warning, causing a sultry moan to escape her lips as she threw her head back.A growl escaped my throat at the feel of her pussy clenching around my hard cock as she adjusted to my girth. She was so tight and warm, and if I didn’t take time to gather myself, I might end up exploding soon. My hands on her waist tightened a
ADESSA. “Fuck me, Kael.” I finally said it. A growl reverberated from his chest, and his lips crashed into mine without a warning. My arms wrapped around his neck as we hungrily kissed each other.I couldn’t hear anything but the loud beating of my own heart and the grunts coming from him.In no time, I felt cold air brushing against my skin, waking me up from my trance.Kael had let me go and left me fully naked, splayed out in the middle, while he stood at the foot of the bed without a shirt and unbuckling his pants. He was undressing himself slowly while his eyes were devouring every part of my naked body. I was sure he could smell my arousal as his eyes were dilating, and I could see lust all over his face. His reaction was giving me the confidence I needed to play the seductress that always made him want me more. I anchored my feet on the mattress and spread my legs wider before letting my hand crawl my belly down to my core. The moment my fingers touched my wet pussyfolds,
