VANYA'S POVTristan kissed me, in a way that made my head spin and stars explode at the back of my closed eyes like the skies above us. I pulled my hand back, wanting touching him or do something, but he didn't let me move. He held my hands above my head with one firm grasp, and even though he pinned me into the blanket, I could feel the untapped power twitching in his finger tips. He could crush my wrists if he wanted to. I just knew it. "Vanya," He groaned, his voice sending sparks straight to my lower belly. "Do you have any idea how fucking hard it is to resist you?""Who cares about resisting?" I said, my own words shocking me.What the fuck is wrong with me?!"I know what you're trying to do.""What am I trying to do?" I asked, but even then my eyes looked up at him seductively. I arched my back, trying to press my hips to his. But he wouldn't let me. His hold on my hip held me firmly in the ground, with no room for movement. He leaned down to my ear and kissed my ear shell. "
Vanya's POVSwerving around the roundabout that would lead to my home. Home sweet home. Checking the fuel level indicator, I had to stop at a filling station to get fuel for the car. Taking the pump from its usual position, I inserted the nuzzle into my tank."What lovely outfit." A woman said behind me making me turn slightly, and meeting her gaze. It was my "mum". At least, the woman who claimed to be my "mum". I rolled my eyes, not in the mood for anything fake or ridiculous. "You're ignoring me." She said walking toward the pump where I stood.I snubbed her, walking back to my car as I put back the nuzzle where it was supposed to be."Nothing to say to me?" I stopped turning to her."Oh.... nothing to say to you..." I repeated turning to her. "Are you following me?" I asked when I was facing her."I am your...""Mother." I said to her completing her sentence. "Like hell yeah in the world." I opened the car of my door, about to step in when she said"Why wouldn't you believe what
Vanya's POVSo far, so good...Sighing as I laid back on my seat a smile curling up at the corners of my lips as I looked at my screen, the articles being displayed, nothing but sheer majesty and joy. Tara cleared her throat, drawing my attention back to her as if to say "I'm still here." I sat back up, meeting her gaze still unable to wipe the mug off my face."What's today's schedule like?" I sked trying to sound serious and oblivious to what had been happening for days now. She raised a brow at me a grin on her face conveying her message properly. "Like hell you don't know." The facial expression spoke volumes. I smiled at her. "One more time..." I showed my full teeth at her throwing my eyes wide."At 11:00 a.m. you have a meeting with the Spanish investor, by 11:45 a.m. another meeting with..." And on and on she went talking about my schedule that had suddenly taken a new turn after the trial of Josephine's won up in my honest favour.Not only had my initial investors that had lef
Vanya's POVWith how busy the company had been for the past one week, time flew by without any of us realizing. By the time I looked at the clock, it was already 6:55 p.m. "Are you not going home?" Tara asked from where she stood at the door."You can go. I still have something to go over." She nodded, turned and left. Rubbing my temples, I finished what was left for today's work, took my coat and my bag and headed outside.Outside, someone was slightly kicking his foot against the floor as if he were kicking something. He seemed to be waiting for someone in the company. I stepped out walking towards my car, as I came closer, I recognized him. Shit!He turned to me, his golden eyes staring blankly at me. With the illumination of the lights around, I could see that there was no life residing in his eyes. It seemed to have been stripped of all it's colour. He looked like he had been through a lot as it showed all around him. His hair was intact, but not as intact as I knew it to be.
Vanya's POVThat was it! I had heard enough."Don't you dare call Tristan a bastard." I spat in annoyance. " He's a million times better that you. What did you just say..." I asked taking a step close to him. "That you can give me whatever he can a million times? Give me a break!!" I rolled my eyes throwing my hands in the air. Tristan wasn't an alpha, neither was he powerful like Cian, but like hell Cian could give me the love, the laughter, the feeling of being safe__ being with someone you know would never hurt you, would walk with you to hell if he can't pull you out of it, would treat you like the most important person on earth. A man that would respect you... Make you feel at home when you're with him, listen to how your day went... The ups and downs of your life and hug you, hold you in his arms and whisper words like no other in your ears. Someone to cry on his shoulder, someone that would sit with you in the storm, through thick and thin... Someone that just his name being me
Vanya's POVCian scoffed, anger written on his face as he got up from the floor, the men in front of him and the ones barricading me still maintaining their stance of protection. He looked at the two in front of him and the ones in front of me but didn't make a move to attack them. He gave a little nod as if he had realized something."I see." He said to himself more than to me or the men. "You're still just a useless commoner after all. Who would rather choose trash over treasure. " He took a step closer but was blocked. Looking at the men, he turned his attention back to me. "Just know that this isn't over Vanya. I'm going to deal with you. And when I'm done, you'll wish you had never left me to begin with." Then he turned and stormed off. On any other day, I would have been trembling silently from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. But today, I just felt a tang of amusement at his threats. He was angry that I had chosen Tristan who had nothing over him who had the worl
Vanya's POV"I know I should have let you know before I assigned them to look after you but I couldn't stand anything happening to you or your kids while I knew that Cian was still in the open. I'm sorry if I offended you." My heart shook at those words, and I looked at the rear mirror again to still see the men move out of my line of sight once they sighted me.This... This Cian could never give me. No matter how much he thinks he can. I was speechless. No words would ever be enough to explain how touched I felt. He wanted my kids and I to be safe. Even when the kids weren't his. How many could do that?"Vanya? Are you still there?""Yeah. I am." I exhaled. "But how could you get a hold on eight men to guard me. Eight.""I'm the CEO of Blackwood Corp. It wasn't much of a problem.""They're werewolves Tristan. All eight of them." I know I was asking too many questions, but I couldn't help it. I was curious, I wanted to know. "I'm a werewolf too. And finding other werewolves is not as
TRISTAN'S POV"Vanya problems." Adam snorted behind me. "Or should I say love issues?""Go to hell Adam." I rolled my eyes, placing the phone on the table. He raised his hands up, shrugging in an annoying manner."At least I know you're coming with me. That way, I wouldn't have to be alone." I shot him a glare, settling on my seat but gave no response to his taunts. "But really..." He walked to my desk sitting on it. "Are you going to tell her?""Tell her what?" I questioned him looking directly at my laptop as if I didn't know what he meant when he said to tell her.He rolled his eyes. Quite funny on a man like him. "The truth of course." I made to speak, but he interrupted. "And don't you dare ask me what to truth." He warned. "That's no way to speak to your alpha." He jumped down from the table, taking a few steps away from my desk before turning to me. He smiled, then frowned. "Don't change the topic." He spat. "No Adam. I'm not going to tell her the truth." I replied giving him
Vanya's POV "You look even better." "Don't think of blasphemy Tristan. The goddess is the best of all bests. Another headline just popped up. It says... " I paused. "A new world order, a new religion, the Blackwoods." "Indeed. A new religion. " He chuckled before he paused. "I'll get the kids from school today. You'll just have to get off from work and go home." "The last time you got the children back from school Tristan, all of you wrecked the house!" "And we apologized and promised we'd never do it again." "Whatever. Thank you for getting them in... Advance " I said to him. "At your service my queen." I smiled, grinning from ear to ear. "I love you." I said to him. "I love you more." He replied. "We'll talk later, gotta go." He mused, before blowing a kiss into the phone's speaker and then hanging up. I sat down on my seat, thinking back in all that had happened in my life. All that had happened to bring me to this day. To this moment of true happiness. I had never kn
FOUR YEARS LATER. Vanya's POV "Is this what you really want to do? Still be a chef?" My love asked. "CEO of a good company honey. And yes. That's what I want to do. What I still want to do. " I opened the door to leave, turned, and pulled him towards me with his tie, kissing him full on the lips. He edged forward, closing the door and winding the glass up. His hand trailed to my waist, pulling me closer to him, before they made to unbutton my blouse. "What are you doing?" I giggled, throwing my head back. "I told you " He grumbled. "That the next time you do this on a work day, we might end up having sex in the car. " "And I said?" "Mm... You said nothing." I opened the car door. "And silence in court means...." But I had jumped out of the car, blowing him a kiss as I shut the door. He looked like a pouting child that would soon begin to bawl. "Just go." I mouthed, shooting him away with a wave of my hand. "You're in for tonight." He mouthed back before blowing me a kiss
Vanya's POV "Wait..." Tristan paused them. "You knew he came after Vanya." He questioned his father. Which he nodded to. "Does that mean you've been in London all this while?" He nodded again. Tristan stared at him in disbelief while I listened to their story. Waiting earnestly for them to finish so I could throw everything I wanted at them. "When we heard he came after you..." My father had become serious. "I told Marco and Vladimir that it was finally time for me to come out of hiding." They both nodded. "And worst of all, when Marco told me about your outburst." They nodded again. But he continued. "They weren't really buying the idea, and Vladimir promised to take care of you and Marco but I had been hiding long enough." "So we finally decided to come out of hiding," Vladimir said. "And deal with Magnus." Marco added. The sitting room now went quiet as I weighed everything they had said. I had missed my father since I was thirteen, thinking he was dead, but he had been aliv
Vanya's POV "Is this some kind of joke to appease me?" I turned to Marco. "Joke? No. No it's... Not." "I'm not buying this shit. None of it." "And where did you learn how do speak like that little crow?" "Don't you dare call me that!" I spat at the man. "And where did you even hear that from?" "I didn't hear it from anywhere. We made it up, together. At the spring fall close to your school when you wouldn't stop crying about how boring school was and how you wanted to be a doctor but not go to school for it..." I bit my lower lip. This couldn't be happening. I was dreaming. It's all a dream. "And what did I say?" I asked him for confirmation. "If I can make it as a doctor without books, I want the world in return..." "No..." I exhaled, forcing myself to stay calm and tearless. "And I said to you..." I remembered clearly what he said to me that day. Even if you want heaven... "Even if you want heaven..." Daddy wouldn't hesitate a second... "Daddy wouldn't hesitate a
Vanya's POV I walked out of Tristan's office, and when I was out of earshot, I ran to our room, shutting the door behind me as I wailed my eyes out. I shook as the sobs took over me, fully in control. How could he? How could Marco? He was my father's best friend. He was supposed to stand by my father, was supposed to protect him. Was supposed to be a true friend. I hate him! I hate him!! I sniffled, still sitting down on the floor. How long I sat there, I couldn't recall but I knew it was well past afternoon. Tristan had come to knock on the door during lunch, asking me to eat. I had told him I wanted to be alone and wasn't in the mood to eat. "In case you change your mind." He said as I heard a rattle of plates in front of the door. "I'll leave your lunch here." Then he had left. After some time, he had come to the door again, knocking to check up on me. "I'm fine," I replied. "Vanya..." He started. "I know it's tough. I wish I could help... Or... Or do something." He sig
Tristan's POV I was in my study with Vanya that morning when Adam and some of my men brought Magnus into my office. Hands bound as he knelt him down before us. I was sitting on the arm of the seat while Vanya sat on it. From where he knelt, Magnus glared at us. His face filled with venom. Like the fuck I cared. He had gone after Vanya for whatever crooked reason it was. Had killed her father, my father's very good friend. He had ruined her chance of having a father and a mother too, potentially making her an orphan. The reason my Luna had no parents as shoulders to lean on, was because of this man. And heaven knew, I wanted to rip out his throat. There was a tremble on his venomous face even though he tried to hide it. He only glared as a defense mechanism. "Such a flimsy defense you have there Magnus." No need putting the Alpha's honorific anyway. He didn't deserve that respect. He blinked that I called him by his name but covered the shock on his face by glaring harder. "Oh!"
Tristan's POV "I'm fine talking while standing." Her voice came out wobbling. And she folded her arms, warily watching us. I nodded, going straight to the point. "What did you say to Vanya that made her stomp off?" Her eyes softened. "She didn't tell you. So why should I?" Angel snorted behind me. I rubbed my temples, realizing I too was standing. "So much drama in a day." She whispered behind me. The woman shot her a glare which Angel returned with a bare of her wolf canines. "You claim to be her mother..." "I am her mother." She cut me off, her voice almost a screech. Two of my men moved to get a hold of her as she strolled towards me, but I motioned them to remain put. "I carried her for nine months and almost died giving birth to her." "So why disappear all these years and appear now to try and talk to her?" She squinted angrily at me. "Yeah." I continued before she could speak. "Vanya has never mentioned you to me before. Never." "Who knows, that may be because you are
Tristan's POV "You should have found out!" I yelled a her. "What?! You expected me to eavesdrop on their conversation?!" Before I could reply, she added. "What is wrong with you?! You've barely been married a month and you're already acting like a big bad dog!" I took some steps towards her. "You don't get to speak to me like that! And after all that happened, she shouldn't be out there alone!" "When has she never been able to handle herself?" She threw at me, contempt in her voice. "When you weren't officially mated, it was eight bodyguards, now the whole world knows, you might actually keep tabs on her every movement. In case you don't know brother, it's spying and a sign that your suffocating, over protective nature that cost our mother her life, is resurfacing again! " The room stilled, I stilled and so did she when she realized what she has just said. I took steps backwards, watching her as I shook my head in utter disbelief. "Wow Angel. Just wow!" "Tristan I'm sorry." "N
Tristan's POV I killed the ignition of my car, sitting there and thinking about nothing in particular but everything at once. Vanya had only met Selena once and they had not gotten along. Not as if any one could ever get along with Selena. But why would Magnus go after Vanya? What did he want from her? ***Flashback*** Vanya was speaking to the strange woman who claimed to be her mother, so I decided to go back to my house which was now Angel's house to wait for Adam after I had sent him to figure out who the rogues were and why they wanted Vanya when Angel came to me. "There was one thing I noticed about the rogues. I didn't want to let you know about it because Vanya was there." I sat back down, placing my coat on the seat I had been seating on. "What was it?" "All the men had a wolf tattoo on their right shoulders." "Werewolves have tattoos all the time Angel." "I know." She countered. "But it was split in half." She looked at me, going still for a moment before that still
