Thalia“She must be some drama queen.”I bit out in an attempt to lighten my mood but that didn’t work. I still felt like crying. Still felt shitty and out of touch with reality. I don’t even know how to describe how I feel right now. I was angry, sad, confused, and most annoying of all, Horny. I was fucking horny and guess whose face crawled into my head. Lucas and Cross. I shook off my stupid train of thought and focused on what Aunt Rachael was saying.“You will get over that feeling very soon. I promise you. There’s always a solution.”I liked her positivity, and in any other situation, it would have worked on me, but not this one. There was no way out, no solution.“They are both professors at my University. Both are nearly two decades older than me. Both are off-limits because the school doesn’t allow students and professors to have intimate relationships.”I explained to her. She went silent on me again. Maybe she was thinking I might have done it to up my grade or something.“
Thalia“What the fuck are you both doing in my room?” I yelled at them when I finally got myself back enough to speak and quickly wrapped my towel around my body. I mean, my reaction was kind of hypocritical seeing as they have both seen me naked and have both been inside me but still, I didn’t invite them in. Heck, only a few minutes ago, they were downstairs looking at me and now, they were standing at my door and not even trying to leave.Normal people would wait for me downstairs. I am very sure they scared my friend so I can’t even blame her for not trying to stop them. Compared to her petite five foot three self, they were over six foot ten. They weren’t humans either so why did I even expect them to act normal?No human would have followed me home and even found their way into my bedroom. These men don’t follow any norms. They can very much decide to remove me from my house and take me wherever with them and I can’t even fight them. I swallowed as the reality of the whole sit
Thalia“What do you want to talk to me about? Do you realize that you can’t be seen with me outside of school?” I asked him. Lucas scoffed. I turned to him and glared at him. I couldn’t even hold his gaze for up to ten seconds. My whole body heated up and I felt tingles all over. How could I still be attracted to him when I was so mad at him? What’s even wrong with me at this point?“It’s the damn mark, isn’t it?” I let out, they both looked at me in confusion.“That’s why I keep getting drawn to you guys. It’s the mark. You did something to me and now I can’t get over my attraction t—.” I pressed my lips together when I realized I had said too much.“You can’t undo what’s done.” “Yeah? My life would have still been normal if you just fucked me without marking me.” I replied to Lucas who shook his head.“That’s not how it works. You will still be mated to us either way.” Us? Did he just say, us? As in both of them? Of course, that’s what he meant.“So, it isn’t like a glitch?”
Thalia“What the fuck are you even talking about, right now? Are you trying to scare me? Is that what all these are about? You are trying to scare me into doing what you want, right?” I yelled at them. Cross hasn’t said anything to make me angry but Lucas was pushing it with the way he was talking to me as if I am a child who can’t comprehend and making it seem as if I wasn’t capable of caring for myself.“That’s not what I am trying to do. Why will I scare you? I can get you where I want without using fear. You belong to me.” How can I hate someone and desire him at the same time? Why can’t I just hate him and throw him out of my house and life? He was fucking annoying. Fucking possessive. “I don’t belong to you and you are trying to scare me into doing what you want. Why else would you lie that I am in some kind of danger?” I fired at him. He turned away from me, dragged his fingers through his hair, and yelled at no one in particular before turning back to me.“I am not trying
Thalia “Will you really kill him?” I questioned. Maybe I should just tell them to truth, I don’t want Steve to get hurt because of me.“I never said I will.” “You said you will make him disappear forever.”I reminded him.“Yes, there are many ways to dispose of a human.” “I can’t believe him.” I told Cross.“Baby, don’t worry, I won’t leave you alone with him.” Cross promised.“You better not.” I warned him.“Does that mean that you have decided to listen to us?” Lucas asked me. “Shouldn’t you be trying to be on my good side? Why are you so arrogant? I might be the only woman for you but you are not the only man for me. Right now, I have a boyfriend and I can call him over and fuck him in front of you!” I blurted out. Not just Lucas but Cross also reacted to my words. They both growled in disapproval. I won’t do Cross like that but Lucas? Definitely. He walked towards me even when I put my hands out to stop him. He crowded my personal space and grabbed me by the waist when
Cross“Can you just shut up for once?”I fired at Lucas, glaring daggers at him. I made a mistake by agreeing to let him do the talking. We spent hours in his office discussing a possible way out of our current situation but in the end, we both decided that it would be best to carry Thalia along as she is a major part of everything.I did suggest that we leave her alone for a while, but Lucas rightfully pointed out that that would be dangerous for her. It was best to get her on what was going on. We both agreed to tell her about the danger that she might be in without scaring her, but the jealous freak has been acting out since we arrived at the apartment where she lived.He wasn’t the only jealous one, the thought of my mate with some human boy makes me want to do something crazy but I know damn well that commanding or forcing her to break up with him won’t do a thing and jealousy won’t solve the problem either so I kept my jealousy in check but the fucker with me doesn’t know how to
Cross“That’s not up for discussion right now, your safety is more important!” Lucas let out before I could form the words to answer her question. I glared at him. Did he not know when to fucking shut up? He hasn’t helped at all since we got here. He has only succeeded in making her angry. She doesn’t trust us enough right now and the damn idiot was making it all worse with his loud unfiltered mouth.Just one day with him and I already realized again why I can’t stand him at all. I can’t be seen with such a loser like him. If the moon goddess hadn’t decided to play tricks on us, there’s no way we would have crossed paths or even spent so much time together.I never thought I would have a common goal with Lucas of all people. I still kind of wish I was dreaming and none of this was real but I am too grown to not know when something was real.“The only you are still here is, because of him. I don’t give a fuck if you are my professor or not. You don’t even act like one so why should I
Cross“Council? Who are these people and what can they do to me? Why do I have to hide from them?” She questioned.“You don’t have to hide from them. You just have to stay safe and out of their way until i---“ I stopped. I didn’t want to tell her more. She might freak out if she finds out what would finally make her safe from the council. It will take about five to six months or the earlier four months for it to happen and just until then, we have to protect her. We have to be with her, especially in public places.“If I don’t need to hide from them then why do you think that I am in danger because of them? And who the fuck are they?” This is why I didn’t want us to tell her about the council. Those fuckers are just a bunch of lunatics with a common goal. Destroy the shifter words. They want us to fade into oblivion. That’s their plan and that’s why they don’t want humans to mate with shifters.They were nothing without the power that the government gave them. Not just that but our
Thalia He had nothing under the robe and was naked before me once the robe came off. I shamelessly ogled. God! His body was a work of art. I thought Lucas was packed tight and fit. Cross was just out of this world. And the most interesting part of him? His cock, thick and hard. His tip called to me as he reached and stroked himself. I swallowed and filled my eyes with the goodness of what I was about to enjoy until he got back on the bed with me. “Are you ready for me?” His words were more of a growl but I figured them out and nodded. “Yes..” I let out when he lifted his brow. He smirked and pulled me to him. He lifted my legs, lined his throbbing cock with my entrance, and sank into me. I couldn’t stop the loud, not-so-classy moan that escaped from my mouth when I felt him deep inside me again after weeks of wanting him and craving his fullness inside me. He filled me up so well in the way only he could and it felt so familiar. “Ohhh… Yess… fucking finally…” I let out as
Thalia “Cross.” I moaned his name in anticipation as he lifted my shirt to take it up. I raised my hand to aid the movement and soon, my shirt was off, leaving me in just my bra. His mouth closed over mine in a hot passionate kiss that had me breathing his breath and whimpering into his mouth. He kissed me hard and fast and then slowly. He nibbled on my bottom lips, slowly and sensually while his hands traveled my body. Then the kiss went from sensual to him practically eating me up. I had to up my game to match his energy as much as I could. God! He was as hungry for me as I was for him and I could feel it in the way he dragged his hands over my lower body, touching my bare skin with his warm fingers and leaving behind tingles everywhere he touched. I was on fire for him. I wanted him to touch me even more. I wanted to be completely consumed by the fire he started inside me. I didn’t just take; I also gave as much as I could. My finger curled into his hair and I grabbed a fistfu
Thalia “I missed you,” He growled when he pulled away to allow us to breathe after the breathtaking kisses we shared. I liked my slightly swollen lips. I could say the same about him. I missed him so much. I was the one who kissed him again. I kissed him with everything inside me, showing him just how much I missed him with my mouth. When we stopped kissing again, we stared at each other longingly. “God, Cross! I missed you so much! It doesn’t feel like it has only been a few days. It feels like we have been apart for so long.” I told him sincerely. I wanted to kiss him more. I wanted to get naked with him already and get to know him again in the most intimate way. It has been weeks since I last felt him inside me and the memories of that night were starting to fade away. I needed a redo to remind me of just how good it had been between us. “I missed you too, my darling. So much. I can’t believe I wasted our week together. I was such a fool.” I couldn’t disagree. It w
Thalia “It’s really you?” I asked even as I held him, his arms wrapped around my waist. I talked his shoulder and he let me go. I put a small distance between us, wondering if I was really seeing him. “Baby?” He called out. It didn’t look like a dream. It clearly wasn’t a dream! “Cross!” I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was here. He was really here. I thought I was dreaming when I saw him for the first time. I walked in and busied myself taking off my shoes first so that I could get comfortable enough to look around for the surprise Lucas had talked about. I didn’t even notice him until he whispered something and I looked up to see him standing there, it felt like a dream. I thought I had fallen somewhere, lost consciousness, and started dreaming. He was really here. “Hey baby, you are finally here! Surprise!” He said again and spread his arms out. The first time he said it, it didn’t click that he was the surprise that Lucas had talked about. He said it again and s
Cross “What’s taking him so long? Did he ditch me?” I grumbled impatiently and checked the time again. It was almost eight pm and still no sight of my mate and the fucker who went to get her. It shouldn’t take so long to bring her to me. We had an agreement. “The fucker!” I complained. I hope I didn’t drive all the way down here and did nothing. I dropped a meeting that I was supposed to hold to come here. I missed my mate so much and wanted to see her so badly that I didn’t think twice about postponing the meeting after I got him to agree to let me come over. I drove miles and hours to get here. I put my beta in charge of the pack just to come spend the night with my mate. He better not fuck things up. I wanted to call her after I found out from him that he messed up and made her mad but he said it would ruin her surprise so I stayed put. Oh, I gave him a piss of my mind. No way I was going to let him off after he made our mate angry and sad. The other thing he did to
Thalia “What’s the surprise? Tell me please,” I said, pouting my lips in an effort to make him spill the tea but he just laughed and shook his head. I wanted to know and now I wanted us to be at the hotel already so that I could see the surprise. “Patient baby. Good things happen to those who are patient.” He told me and hugged me again. He was right. If only I was patient enough to hear his own side of the story, I wouldn’t have almost ruined our relationship again. I need to learn to trust him and believe in what we have. The girls believed in him more than I did. I should thank them for talking me into coming to see him if not, I would have spent the night in misery all because of lies that Mariah made up. “I can’t believe I fell for her lies. I am so sorry, Lucas. I shouldn’t have doubted you.” I told Lucas sincerely. I can’t believe I almost ruined our relationship over a lie. Over some twisted narrative. Mariah might not know the harm she did by twisting what happ
Lucas “It wasn’t a date. I promise. She asked me to take her back to the resort because the bus left without her and she didn’t know her way around.” I explained the first part of what happened and why she even got in my car in the first place. I couldn’t leave her on her own. I genuinely thought that she was stranded and I didn’t want anything to happen to her. I got Thalia’s attention so I went on. “Halfway through the ride, she told me that she hadn’t eaten all day so I stopped at a restaurant and got her food. After that, she told me she got her period and didn’t have a pad with her so I drove to the mall and paid god the things she got. That’s it.” I explained to her. She didn’t look convinced at first but her expression started to change right before my eyes. I waited for her to process the things I told her first before I continued. She opened and closed her mouth multiple times without saying anything and still, I waited. “Did you hug her?” That happened too bu
Lucas “Lucas? Stop the car!” I looked at Thalia and ignored her. I had no intentions of stopping the car until we were out of the resort and somewhere I could park and y’all to her. I can’t believe she thought I went on a date with that Mariah girl. Yes, I did buy her lunch because she kept insisting and then she told me her period started and I had to follow her to the shop where she got pads and other things. I paid for the things ahead bought out of the goodness of my heart but I never thought of it as a date nor did I let her hug me. Thalia found out and got everything wrong. No. I would never take another woman out or think of being with another woman who wasn’t my mate. I hated that she even thought about me cheating on her. Cheating! I don’t cheat! Not even when I dated a lot. I always made sure that I wasn’t seeing two people at once. I have never two-timed or double dates in my whole life, why would I do it now with my mate? The crazy part of everything was th
Thalia “Don’t worry, the glasses are tinted, no one will see you from the outside.” Lucas pointed out. I didn’t look at him. “Don’t start the car.” I let out when he tried to. “Why not? We are leaving.” No, we are not. I am not going back to the hotel with him. not after what I found out about him from Mariah. I felt betrayed. I couldn’t imagine spending the night with him with all the doubts. Yes, he might not have spent the night with her since he was here but it could happen soon. He already took her out on a date. They already shared a hug. Soon, they might be sharing more than a hug. They might be sharing kisses and after that, they might be sharing a bed too. “We are not leaving. I am not spending the night with you.” I let out and spared him a look. He looked confused. “And why not? We spent the night together last night and it was amazing. Why can’t we do the same tonight? You are coming with me and that’s final.” The way he said the last part of his sentence pi
