FEYREMy breath catches in my throat at the sight of Alpha Zade, I tell myself the reaction is because this is the first time I’m seeing him since our hallway run in—another memory I’m trying to convince myself never happened—and not because of how his dark hair looks tousled. Definitely as a result of running his hands through it. The sleeves of his shirt are rolled up, exposing his tanned and toned forearms.He looks like he just walked straight out of someone’s wet dream.No! I shut that thought off. He probably looks messy because he just finished terrorizing another innocent and unsuspecting female.I’m unable to tear my eyes from him. The reaction of his pack shocked me, you can hear the joy in their voices as they cheered him on. It makes me frown, because what is so special about him coming here, more than two hours late.I mean I was almost an hour late too but mine is classy and cool, like Delilah said.Dylan is almost jumpy as he waves his alpha over, I feel like I’m forgot
ALPHA ZADEFeyre’s words struck me in a place I never thought possible. A growl rips from my chest before I have a chance to control my reaction to her words. My wolf is upset by the words she said and he wants to put her in her place, show her that she could be everything he wanted. I still have half the mind to push him away, I know very well it won’t end well.My muscles are bunched up under the shirt from the effort it is taking to control both myself and my wolf.I bring my hand up off the table and wrap it around her throat, she growls and I feel the vibration. It makes my already hard cock throb in my pants, I feel myself move forward and I press into her back, she stiffens but doesn’t move forward or backward. I don’t know what I expected but I’m disappointed nevertheless. That is why I said I didn’t like her here.I’m someone who likes to be sure, I’m always sure of what I do, what I say and who I want but with her, I want to bend her over this table and fuck her till she sub
FEYREAlpha Zade and I are doing a good job of ignoring each other. He keeps himself busy doing whatever he is doing by the sink on the opposite side of the counter, probably poisoning things or whatever. I don’t care. I stand here trying to figure out where everything is so I can make something to eat. Like a curse, no one I could ask how to help myself walks into the kitchen which just leaves the two of us and I would rather stab myself in the eye than walk out and make it seem like he intimidated me.After what happened at the bonfire, I know he has it out for me. He is that type of petty loser so I know he is planning his revenge, if he hasn’t already gotten started on it. That thought has me looking around the kitchen in suspicion, everything doesn’t look innocent anymore.When I bump my head against the counter for the fifth time, I decide to call it a day and just leave. If Alpha Zade doesn’t kill me first, I’ll probably get a brain bleed from how much I’m hitting my head.I tu
FEYREI slept great last night, with a smile on my face. It felt like I was floating on clouds or something equally dreamy and out of a fairytale, way.After feeding more than seven guys and making sure both jars were empty—I didn’t eat from it in case you were wondering, that way, if he did poison it, I’ll know—I went to bed. All the guys were grateful and they now like me a lot, this I heard from Delilah. So really, it would be a shame if anything happened to them. Although no matter how much he hates me, I doubt he’ll go for the kill which still works in my favor.I wonder how his day would go if a number of his guys all fall sick.And now, I woke up with a smile and after staying in bed for a few minutes just lazing around, I decided to start my day.At the bonfire, before Alpha Zade had joined us and I found escape, Dylan offered to show me around the pack so I could familiarize myself with it. I wanted to say no, because I’m not saying for long and I feel like it would be treaso
FEYREI quickly push off Damien’s shoulders. He chuckles, raising his hands up in surrender.I stand straight and put on a pleasing smile on my face, trying to steady my beating heart. I have no idea why I respond to him this way when I shouldn’t feel anything towards him.“Just kidding,” he adds, still chuckling.I nod and clear my throat, trying to find my voice. “I figured,”“What are you doing?” he asks, then tips his head toward the closed door. “Aside from eavesdropping.” his lips stretch into a breathtaking smile, showing his perfect teeth. Some people’s perfect looks should be illegal.“I wasn’t eavesdropping,” my cheeks heat as I weakly defend. I was eavesdropping and I didn’t want to leave until I got annoyed. “I was just passing by and I happened to bump into the conversation.”“Bump.” He repeats, laughter in his voice.“Yes, almost literally. Just like I bumped into you.” I explain, giving him a blinding smile. I’ve almost forgotten why I came here in the first place.“I’l
FEYREI smile awkwardly and move out of Damien’s hold, not for anything but because I liked the way he was holding me, a little too much if I’m being honest.“Shall we?” he motions, that boyish smile lighting his face. I feel my cheeks heat and it takes everything in me to not bring my hand up and try to rub at the skin to clear it.“Sure,” I found my voice.“After you,” he winks and I get in step beside him. We walk for a minute in silence before Damien speaks again. “How does it feel being away from your pack? I don’t presume it has been easy.”I shrug my shoulders, thinking of what to say. I haven’t given it much thought yet since it is not as though I’m doing anything, then there is that voice in my head that keeps reminding me that all of this is for a month. Knowing it is not permanent makes it easier for me to cope. Since I can’t exactly tell him that, I go for the next best option. The half-truth.“Right now, I can’t really tell.” He nods for me to go on. “I haven’t started an
ALPHA ZADEI’ve been in a shitty mood since I woke up, only to go to the kitchen and find out she gave out my peanut butter and jam. Like that is not enough to ruin my morning, my father had to come and start spewing shit like he usually does. The conversation ended with me slamming the door in his face and walking out. I know it sound like a teenage girl throwing a tantrum but they are all just so fucking frustrating and they make me want to pull my hair out.“You don’t look happy,” Dylan comments unnecessarily when he sees me walking to my car.The weather is a bit warm and it would be nice to go for a run, let my wolf out in the wild, he has been on edge and that would be great help but I have things to do this morning. I didn’t have time to talk to Damien last night since he insisted he was tired from traveling and couldn’t talk about work.Like the private jet he had me fund so it could be easier for him didn’t offer much comfort. He also had the energy to flirt with every woman
FEYREDylan and I don’t make it to three steps before his alpha’s imposing presence fills the small place, crowding it with all of his negative energy and large body. The place quieted down almost immediately and seeing that, the effect he has on people, how he commands them with just his presence, without having to use his words. It is both hot and unsettling.“Heading out?” he asks his beta but his eyes remain on mine. There is a violent energy surging there and I swear thunderstorms have looked calmer.I resist the urge to grab Dylan’s hand and beg him to stay here with me, there is no doubt I’ll be dead if I’m left with this man only.“Yes, I don’t think anything would interest the luna here.” Dylan’s voice is so professional it makes me rethink their friendship. I definitely do not talk to my best friend like that, alpha or not.But it is good, the longer they stand here talking like they belong in a black and white British sitcom, the easier it would be for me to sneak out and r
FEYRE If I thought I had something to think about because of the kiss, it just got worse with this news of the summit. Dylan tried to make me feel better by saying it is nothing and it will pass in the blink of an eye. He didn’t realize he wasn’t helping so I just smiled politely and thanked him. After he left I rushed to my phone and called Asher who didn’t pick. It felt like my life was crashing down before my eyes and all I could do was watch the fires consume it. I’m hoping I’ll have something to pick up from the ashes when all of this is done. Before we get to that, I’ll have to meet with alpha Lucien to hear from him why I need to go with his son. Can’t I just stay here and do, I don’t know, luna stuff? When I agreed to do this, I didn’t know they would need me to make public appearances with him. I feel cheated, really. I decided I would meet with him after lunch, if he is there then it would be even better. I am already dressed so I just wait anxiously as the time goes.
FEYREIt has been two days since Alpha Zade and I kissed and I have been avoiding him, or we have been avoiding each other. He turned back when he arrived at the dining room and I was there last night. He didn’t eat dinner, I was told by Delilah this morning. He didn’t even bother turning up for breakfast today.I have been jumpy all day, since we got back. I ran to my room and immediately locked the door, like I expected him to come knocking it down till I opened. He didn’t and I hate to admit that I was a little disappointed.I’m not sure I’m ready to face him, all the weird energy surrounding us is suffocating.Someone had mindlinked him, that was the only reason we had separated. I remember how I had felt annoyed by whoever caused the interruption.It felt awkward immediately as we untangled from each other. The tension filling the space.As big as where we were standing was, it felt too small and I thought I would suffocate.The ghost of the lust that was still alive in the air,
ALPHA ZADEI knew she was going to be my downfall from the first time I met her, I needed an escape from her which was why I chose to come here to read. It was one of the places my mother used to spend her time with.The only remnants of what used to be her pack. After she met my father and found out they were mates, they decided to merge their packs. It was the beginning of their problems and till today, I had wished she stayed as the alpha of her pack and never went for love.Love. Just the thought makes me scoff.I didn’t plan on seeing her there, I couldn’t even understand what she was doing there. All members of the pack stayed away from this part of the pack. Only a few teenagers are found loitering sometimes but even that has been prohibited. After almost ten years as alpha, I have accepted that you can’t control or stop them, just make sure they won’t hurt themselves.Some stories about ghosts of the people that died in the fire here returning to haunt the people of the pack m
FEYREI start walking, following Alpha Zade’s scent and the further I go, the stronger it gets. I start with a slow walk which develops into a jog and before I can even think it through, I find myself running.I hear footsteps coming from behind out of nowhere, also running and I pick up speed. It is hard keeping my attention on his scent when I feel like someone is following me. I don’t want to turn to confirm out of fear that something scary is actually there.With my wolf not in sight, I know fighting here is not going to be a good idea, I don’t know how many they are or how strong they are. If I make the mistake of getting hurt here, no one will find me. I’m noy connected to this pack and there will be no way to mindlink or try to pin down my location.Shit, I didn’t tell anyone I was going out.I reach a turn and come to a halt, my breathing ragged. My lungs are burning and my hair has fallen out of its ponytail.I dance a little on my feet, my head feels hazy and I cough out lou
FEYREI am not taking Delilah’s relationship advice obviously, I’m not even in a relationship to begin with but she insisted, even offered to help in every way she can, when I got tired of her painting what she thought our relationship would be like, I sent her out of my room and made it a point to lock the door from inside. I have officially run out of energy to deal with her today.I breathe out, scratching the back of my hair absentmindedly. I am standing in the middle of my room with my hands on my waist and no closer to figuring out what I want to do. Now that I have good reason to believe he is not hiding anyone I feel at ease.It is just the mate bond making me feel relief when I shouldn’t even care.I take my jotted notes and hide them in the back of my closet along with the map. Relief courses through me at that thought. I didn’t even know why I cared so much about what he does or how I didn’t want him to be bad. Being irritable and arrogant is way better than being a strai
FEYREI needed to come up with a new strategy, and fast. The more minutes, hours, days, I spend wasting time—or working and not really making progress—might be another woman getting hurt.How I went from trying to make the alpha feel again, to trying to uncover if he is a sicko that kidnaps women surprises me. I know I have a knack for a little adrenaline and work but I never thought I would be into this as much as I am. With the blueprints safely tucked into the back of my closet, all I need to do now is how to set phase two of my plan into motion. Getting him to trust me. I already know that is going to be the hardest part of my plan. Thanks to Delilah’s blabbering, I got to know that there are cameras in almost every part of this house.I can’t hack into them unfortunately but if I get close to him, I can know how to access them. Learn to deactivate it so I will do that the day I choose to satisfy my morbid curiosity. I’ll go up there and if I find a woman there like I suspect, I
FEYREI have an ample lot of time on my hands with nothing better to do, and I have realized I can only work out so many times before my body starts aching. I have resorted to calling Asher every day, even if I feel like I’m disrupting his work.He is too nice to mention and he always picks when I call, even offering a game or something so I can feel less idle. I really don’t know what I’ll do with my life without him. I’ve always thought that finding his mate will be what will pull us apart, I know no female wolf will like her mate hanging out with another female all the time, forget that he is like my brother and just the thought of anything that is not platonic with him makes my skin crawl.Asher and I together will be like incest and I am really not a fan of it.Meeting with alpha Lucien didn’t help, not in the way that I thought, his pretty much cryptic answer when I asked why I was here didn’t help. I have tried to not let myself think of it too much. And since Alpha Zade doesn’
ALPHA ZADEI’d felt like ants were crawling up my skin when I was told my father had returned from his one day trip and he was with Feyre. It reminded me of his trips when my mother was here. He was always traveling for business which equaled him meeting up with his multiple mistresses.A part of me wants to drag her away from him for the fear of him ruining her, but then I remembered her arms around Damien’s neck and I don’t feel the need quite as deep anymore. She is like him anyways, no wonder they get along very well.Mind numbing pain in my jaw makes stars dance in my vision. I’m jolted back to the present with the violent punch and I grunt lowly, both in annoyance and from the sting.The sound of Damien’s feet bouncing on the boxing platform rings in my head before I regain my composure. I give my head a little shake, getting rid of the haziness in my eyes.“Get your head in the game, man.” He groans, coming at me again.Now that I’m paying attention, I see his intention and blo
FEYRE“How has the pack been treating you?” Alpha Lucien asks, taking a sip from his Macallan.He’d invited me to drink with him after we met outside and since I didn’t have anything better to do, I agreed. It was either this or drowning in my thoughts in my room alone, either the thoughts of the shadow will kill me or that of the alpha.I am very close to hitting rock bottom and I can’t allow that.Also, alpha Lucien’s company is not that bad, especially when you compare it to that of his son’s.“It has been okay,” I mutter, bringing the glass up to my lips though I don’t take a sip, I don’t put it back down either which leaves it hovering awkwardly over my mouth.“That is good. I hope you’ve settled in easily.” There is curiosity in the man’s eyes and in that instant, I know there is more he wants to know and this is not just a friendly chat. This just shows me how I need to be careful around every one of them.No one is excluded. I’d been the one reminding Asher we weren’t allies,
