It was past midnight. The moon shone high above and the stars scattered the sky.
He shifted to his human form wearing his basketball shorts and came out from the shadows of the trees. In front of him was a vast mansion. For days, she was forbidden to leave this place. Forbidden to leave the borders of the land. Forbidden to see him.
His heart was aching. Aching for her. Without her, his heart was broken to pieces and she was the stitches.
He looked up. The scent was coming from the balcony at the second floor. He climbed up the fence and sneaked inside the room. Her sweet scent quickly flooded his nostrils. Despite the darkness, his dilated eyes could see clearly across the room. She was sound asleep upon her bed. Dead to the world.
He took long strides and neared the beautiful girl whom he had been aching for. Each step closer was a second closer to home. It was homesickness that surged thro
Groaning, Anna woke up wrapped in Zach's arm, his heavy weight pressing over her. She shifted slightly and his grip tightened, pulling her closer. Locked in his arm, she could do nothing but look over her open window. The curtains were flying from the blow of the wind and the sun was beginning to rise. Morning sunlight was slipping through the room slowly."Zach?" she softly whispered in his ear. His head was buried at the crook of her neck and she could feel the way his warm breath tickled her skin. He was breathing her in.She snaked her hand around his bare back and ran her fingers through his hair. Their naked legs were tangled under the sheets and she couldn't help but feel as if she was stuck in his love. Locked in his strong arms.His arms tightened around her and she felt her naked bosoms pressing harder against his hard chest. Then his hand slowly ran up and down her bare back, his calloused fingers softly
The next morning she woke up to the sunlight streaming through her open balcony. For somehow, it reminded her of last night and just that intensified the longing that she felt in her heart.The part that was always aching for him.For his touch.For his lips.With a sigh and a light shake of her head, she sat up from the bed and looked around her room in wonder.Everything had changed.It seemed she had always been dependent upon her Grandmother that now she found it hard to be on her own.Everything was different then. She wasn't who she was before and now every moment of everyday in this mansion always brought her back to the memory of home.Life had never felt so lonely and she had never felt so lost and homeless.It was no one's fault, she kept telling herself, and still she
William hummed, noting the way she blushed a little and the way her eyes twinkled as if she was remembering the memories too clearly. "So it was a boy?"She laughed lightly and for a moment, he was surprised. She had never laughed like that in front of him."He's not a boy," she defended. "He's a man.""Who?" asked Bea who entered the kitchen room wearing a loose shirt and shorts. She walked towards the kitchen counter and leaned against it, one eyebrow lifted as she looked at Anna with a suspicious face. "Who are we talking about?" she asked, smiling a little."She said something about a Prince Charming," William mumbled, his back turned to them as he cooked on the stove."Prince Charming?" Bea echoed, a smile playing on her lips.Anna nodded slightly and a bright grin came over her lips. "A tall, dark, and handsome man," she admitted, rememberin
"Oh, my God."Without second thoughts, she rose up from the bed and her book fell as she quickly ran to him. Smiling brightly, she took the little kitten from him and hugged it in her arms.Pulling back, she kissed its head lovingly then placed it on her bed, watching as it laid down upon the sheets comfortably.Turning around, she quickly hugged Jake, oblivious to the way he stiffened and instantly relaxed. His arms came around her as he hugged her back, slightly tightening his hold."Thank you so much," she murmured to his chest and she meant it from the bottom of her heart. Pulling back, she gazed up at him and smiled. "So why are you here?""Business," he answered simply. "Then I thought I could come and say hello, see if you're fine, and bring back your cat..Found her lost somewhere."Anna smiled wider. "Jake, I think I'm getting better and b
He watched silently as she stood there at the top of the staircase. Like an angel, her face was radiant, heavenly, so beautiful. A beautiful white dress hugged her slim body, ending just above her knees, and her dark hair was properly fixed up on her head.For a moment, he was left hypnotized by her beauty. He had always thought of her as an angel in disguise. Up there, she was deity and everyone admired her from afar as if she was a goddess.She was smiling. He stared at her and it seemed to him a broken heart was hiding behind that broken smile she plastered on her rosy plump lips. And still, she smiled, even as the speaker introduced her to the crowd, declaring her eighteenth birthday.The grand celebration was taking place at the Kingsley Mansion. Werewolves from neighboring packs had come to see her. Not because she was of any importance per se but because she was human. This fact intrigued their curiosity.&nb
He did care, Anna thought. Zach cared about her too much. She couldn't imagine how he must have felt grieving his own father's death. How he must have felt guilty about the death of John's father and about Lola's death.She trembled slightly. Really, she did.Certainly, she did lose her mind when her Grandmother died. And now she couldn't help but want to console Zach now for everything he had been through. He had suffered enough. He shouldn't suffer anymore.Whilst she had stayed in John's pack, she had cried herself to sleep feeling the guilt of her Grandmother's death weighing in her chest. Her heart had ached too much and when Zach had come inside her room that one night, to visit her, almost immediately, her heart was healed by his kisses and the pain she had felt was mended by his words.How could she ever forgive herself? She should have been the one mending Zach's wounds after everyth
"You don't need another human being to make your life complete, but let's be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn't see them as disasters in your soul, but cracks to put their love into, is the most calming thing in this world." — Emery Allen• • •She was speechless. No words could describe what she felt seeing him for the first time thay night. But it was like a dream. Everything stopped. The music faded. Time was frozen and sparks were flying everywhere.She stared at him in awe. He was so beautiful. His hair was wild and chaotic as if he had ran his fingers through it a hundred times. His lips were so inviting, begging to be kissed. His eyes were dark and dilated looking down at her intently as if he could see deeply into her soul.Her heart was overwhelmed and she felt as if she would burst into tears then and there. Was he only dream? Was he only an imagination of her
Even as he had said it calmly, she knew he wasn't telling the whole truth. She wanted him to be honest. If it was about the rogues or those who had killed her Grandmother, she wanted to know all of it."Tell me everything," she begged.He couldn't resist those eyes. She spoke as if she was begging on her knees. He sighed. "I made a deal with John," he said then stopped but she waited patiently for him to continue."It was a truce between two packs," he continued. "He was calling for a war when he kept you away from me," he growled, his arms tightening slightly around her."Oh, Zach," she purred sadly, running her fingers through his hair. "I'm really sorry.""Don't be," he said. "It was my fault. I fixed it."She shook her head. "Everything that happened is not your fault, Zach. Don't blame yourself."Then he stopped in the
