Thalia “Thanks for the warm embrace, Burke.” I said and forcefully got out of his arms. He looked at me and smiled.“You are still just as hard as before. Don’t worry, you can’t say no to me this time.” I frowned my face at his words, realizing he hadn’t changed at all.“What?” I let out.“I still like you, Kai. I waited so many years to finally meet you again. I wanted to be at my best before meeting you and now that I have met you, we can finally be together.” I wanted him to laugh and say that he was joking for old time’s sake but he looked too serious for him to be joking.“That’s not going to happen.” I told him fair and square. No need to get his hopes up. I wouldn’t date him even if I was single and right now, I am far from being single. If any of the guys found me with him, they might tear him apart or something and I didn’t want to be the reason for his death. I don’t hate him that much. Heck, I never hated him, I just wanted him out of my face.“You haven’t changed at
Thalia “Yes,” I stared at him mouth opened when he answered and smiled. I couldn’t believe it. The man my mom wanted me to marry was a guy who had an unhealthy crush on me as a teenager. My mom was definitely out of her mind. No wonder she had told me that I would change my mind once I found out who it was that she found for me to marry. Too bad, I wasn’t changing my mind. Me? Marry Bucky Burke? No way. Not in this life or the next. He took my shocked expression as a positive reaction. His smile told me so. I shook my head and pointed from me to him. “It’s never going to happen, bro. Get out of your dream. I am not going to marry you for any reason in the world. Besides, I am not single.” He didn’t like what I said and it didn’t matter because I didn’t give a fuck what he thinks or feels. I don’t give a fuck about him. My goodwill heart already ended. “You do know that’s not for you to choose, right? It’s up to your parents to choose your spouse. You aren’t one of those
Thalia “You were following me? How long have you been following me around you lunatic?” I yelled at him. Wow, he has been following me around and I didn’t want to think about how long it has been and just what he has seen. “Stop acting like you didn’t want me to follow you around. I only took a while to work on myself. Now that I am back, we are never going to be apart once we get married,” I couldn’t believe him. He was really beyond delusional. I would much rather die than be married to a lunatic like him. I could only feel hate and disgust when I looked at him. He has been following me around for God knows how long. It was fucking creepy to find out that I have been followed unknowingly. “See, you can’t say anything because you know that I am right about you wanting me to follow you around,” Now he was blaming me for his weird behavior. A grown-ass stalker blaming me for his stalking behaviour. My parents really thought this man was perfect for me. Thank goodness I
Thalia “Who is he? Did you call him over?” I didn’t even turn at Burke’s voice. There was no need to answer him. I didn’t even realize that I was frightened by his presence until Cross showed up and I felt relieved. Cross looked down at me with questioning eyes. He looked pissed again. I wonder if he was going to scold me for leaving the house. I hope not because that will be going about things the wrong way and it will make me want to stay the fuck away from him. “You scared me. Why weren’t you taking your calls?” His voice didn’t match how he looked. He asked the question softly which was why I answered. If he had yelled or asked scoldingly, I would have walked away from him. “Are you really asking me that? You were mean,” He sighed and nodded. “Yeah, I was. I am sorry. You should have taken my calls. I was worried sick and then that bastard wasn’t taking his calls either.” I knew who he was referring to without him mentioning a name. Lucas. He didn’t take my calls
Thalia“That’s not true.”I told him but he looked like he didn’t believe me and that made me both angry and sad. Why wouldn’t he believe what I say? Yes, my parents wanted me to marry Burke but that doesn’t mean we will get married. I never accepted or agreed to it.“I am telling the truth. I am not marrying him. he is crazy and delusional.”I hated raising my voice to get my point across but that’s the only way to get him to understand. He was pissing me off again after getting a few minutes of redemption. Fucking men!“I don’t doubt your words. I just wonder why he thinks you guys are going to get married.”Oh. That’s it? Maybe I need to work on reading this man’s facial expression because I seem to be getting him wrong all the time. First with the anger thing and now with this. I scratched the back of my head.“He is the guy my parents want me to marry. Don’t worry, I won’t marry him. Never.”I made sure to emphasize the last part of my sentence. He smiled. He fucking smiled and m
Cross "Are you going to ignore me forever?" Thalia questioned in a whole whisper. I looked at her and looked away, choosing to concentrate on driving instead of her question or the many thoughts that were running through my mind. I almost lost my mind while I searched everywhere for her. I didn't know where she was and that drove me fucking crazy. I called her plenty of times but she didn't take my calls. I tried to call that bastard but he didn't take my calls either and that made me so scared. I drove around looking for her car. I even went to her old house and found the door locked. I asked around and found out that her friend went home for the weekend which meant Thalia couldn't have been with her. It had been the scariest three hours of my life. I kept blaming myself which I should. It was all my fault. I was the reason she had left the pack. If I had just—fuck! I don't even want to think about that right now. When she finally took my call after I decided to call her
Thalia“Did I say something wrong?”I asked Cross when he went silent after I jokingly called him ancient, he looked at me and looked away. Okay, maybe he didn’t get the joke. I was just kidding why did he have to take it so seriously? It’s not like he was really ancient.“Cross? I was just joking.”I whispered to him. He didn’t look at me, and I decided to give it up. I realized what he was doing. He didn’t want to answer my question about the number of women he had been with, so he was acting all offended.It’s not like I wanted to continue that talk anyway, I already told him that he doesn’t need to answer. A man like him would surely have had his share of lovers in the past. I am not the kind of girl who gave a fuck about things like that.“If it’s because I asked about your past lovers, don’t worry about it. I am really open-minded. I don’t care.”I assured him.“I care.”I whipped my head in his direction to make sure he was being for real. He was. Which was crazy. Why would he
Thalia “This place is expensive.” I whispered. “I know.” “And yet you brought me here just because I said I wanted to eat? I am not particularly dressed for dinner tonight.” I let out. I wore a runaway outfit and not a date night party. Why would he pick a place that most people only visit on very important occasions and dates? Maybe it’s a werewolf thing. “It doesn’t matter. No one will see you.” Good for him to say. He was dressed properly. I wondered how he was able to suit up before coming to find me. “Did you look through your wardrobe and find the most expensive suit, wear the nicest perfume, and pick out the nicest shoes before coming to look for me?” I questioned him. “I always dress this way.” “Huh? Do you always wear a suit? Don’t you have casual clothes like jeans and T-shirts?” I asked him as my mind went over the times I had spent with him. I realized that I had never seen him dressed in anything other than suits. Wow. Even in the house, I have only see
Thalia “What happened to you? A day ago, I am sure you would have said no.” Yeah, he was right but yesterday’s me and today’s me are two different people. “Let’s just go, Lucas! I don’t want to be late.” I let out and went ahead of him out of the house and straight to the parking lot. I pulled the door open and got in. I only had to wait less than a minute for him to show up. He helped me with my seatbelt and kissed me before he did his own seatbelt and started the car. “I submitted my report last night.” I told him as the car pulled out of his driveway. He looked at me and smiled. His smile made my inside warm with feelings. “I see why you are an A student now. You have the best report so far.” I smiled. Of course, I do. I don’t do mediocre and easy things. I know what I wrote yesterday. “Did you really read all the reports that have been submitted or are you trying to pull my leg?” I asked him because there’s no way he really read all. There are at least forty-fi
Thalia “No need to be so hostile towards me, woman! I was just concerned.” I rolled my eyes at him and smirked when I saw his gaze linger on my chest. I didn’t need to look down to know my boobs were exposed. Heck, my boobs reacted to his look. I kind of expected him to come closer, kiss me, and then make morning love to me but then he cleared his throat and looked away. I pouted in disappointment and quickly acted normal when he looked back at me. “Are you sure you are okay?” He asked again. I was tempted to pull the nighties that didn’t even cover much of me off and show him my body. I felt good. Not sore at all because they were more careful with me last night. They fucked me senselessly but with care. Just a dip in warm water and I will be good to go. Also, I think my body has adjusted to taking two of them. That’s just a theory but I am willing to hold on to it. He was looking at me again and this time lustfully. It made me feel good. Being desired by such a hot m
Thalia “Turn it off!” I winced and covered my ears to block out the ringing of a phone that was disturbing my beautiful sleep. I hated being woken by a ringing phone or an alarm that I hadn’t set! Whoever owns the ringing phone better have a good reason for not turning on silent mode before dumping his phone near the bed. It had to be one of those two. Men! Hate and love them at the same time. Even after blocking out the noise, I could still hear the noise. “Lucas? Cross? Turn your bloody phone off or I am going to smash it against a wall!” I yelled out. “Lia, it’s your phone.” Oh shit! I opened my eyes immediately and took the phone from Lucas’s hand. I noted two things, one it was bright outside, and two he was all dressed. Which would only mean. “Oh shit!” I let out and sat up immediately. Looking around like a lost sheep. Did I oversleep again? “Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my fucking God!” I yelled and jumped out of bed. First day back to school and I o
Thalia “No guys but you can have other fun like dancing and drinking moderately. But you can drink as much as you want when you are at home.” Lucas told me. “Okay. You guys don’t need to worry about me clubbing right now because I have to focus on my schoolwork that I have been neglecting recently. I have a lot to do.” I told them. “You are free to do whatever you want within the packs. No unauthorized persons will get into any of the packs so safety won’t be a problem but when you are outside, you have to let us know where you are and you have to come back home early.” I smiled at the rule. A week ago, the rule would have pissed me off but not anymore. They were looking out for me. The council or whatever they called them must still be out there and they might be trying to get me. Not just them, my parents too. They won’t just back out like that. If I am careless, they might catch me unaware and the guys might not be available to come to my rescue so for my own good, it’s
Thalia “Okay, hit me with what you have for me.” I told them. “We want to spend time with you freely without the weekly thing over our head which means it’s left for you to pick whoever and wherever you want to spend time and we will accept it. It doesn’t matter how you do it.” Lucas explained. I knew what he was saying and what they were offering but it didn’t make complete sense to me. What if I have a favorite and decide that I want to spend all my time with him? Okay, that would mean choosing and I already promised myself that I wouldn’t choose between them. Still, I didn’t see how it would work. I don’t want to move from one house to the next every freaking day. I mean, if I want to equally see them, I would have to make it a day here and a day there, right? I don’t how they think that will work. “Can you explain more?” I asked them instead of jumping on the train and arriving at the wrong conclusions. “It’s easy. You pick where you want to be. If it’s here then we wil
Thalia “Something important.” His answer made me even more anxious. “What kind of important something?” I asked him, I couldn’t figure out what could be so important to discuss that would have Cross come over for dinner with us. I wanted to think positively but no positive reason crossed my mind. I couldn’t be losing any of them, right? Not after our night together. I wanted them both with me for a long time. I refuse to choose. If they are going to make me choose, I might cry. I might go as far as throwing things at them. They shouldn’t put me through the heartbreaking experience of having to choose between them especially not after showing me how good it could be with the three of us together. I won’t settle for that. “Why are you making that face? You don’t even know what we are going to talk to you about yet. Don’t make that face, ma’am, I promise that you will like it.” He assured me. I didn’t know if I should easily believe him. Not like he had a reason to lie. If he s
Thalia “Cross!” I yelled, got out of the chair, and ran to him. I threw myself into his arms. It has only been a day without him and I missed him so badly. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my hair. He obviously missed me too. “Hey, baby, I got this for you.” He said and handed me the bouquet he held. I took it from him, lifted myself to my tiptoe, and planted a kiss on his lips. “Thank you. We were just about to eat.” I said and turned to see my other lover watching us. I made a face at him. Only he didn’t get me flowers and only he could answer when I asked him if he saw me as a prey. I don’t know about werewolves but to humans, being seen as prey was offensive in a lot of ways. “Did he do something bad before I got here? I can scold him for you.” Cross offered. I shook my head at him. I didn’t want him to scold Lucas. I will do it myself. “Okay, I offered to help.” Cross pressed and took his head directly opposite his former rival and new friend. It was crazy
Thalia “Baby? Baby? Wake up we are home.” I opened my eyes at Lucas’s voice and blinked to clear sleep off my eyes. I looked around and we weren’t in the car anymore. We were in the car a few minutes ago and I only closed my eyes for a brief moment. How are we already back at the house? Does that mean I slept the whole of the trip back home? That can’t be. I spent the whole of last night sleeping even though I didn’t wake up on time. Also, Lucas didn’t wake me up this morning until ten am. That means I have gotten over twenty-four hours of sleep already. Almost forty-eight hours of sleep, if I am being honest.Still, I fell asleep in the car a few minutes after we hit the highway and woke up hours later. It has to be hours later because it takes at least four hours to drive back. The truth is, I wasn’t tired at all. I didn’t feel tired yet I was sleeping so much.“How long did I sleep for and why didn’t you wake me?” I asked Lucas. He even carried me into the bedroom and changed m
Lucas “She is beautiful.” My wolf commented. I nodded in agreement. She is so beautiful and she sleeps so beautifully. I left her in the living room to go change the bedding because I didn’t want her to sleep in last night's bedding. I came back to meet her snoring softly and I just stood there, watching her sleep. The diva didn’t get tired and just kept begging and asking us for more. Last night, I got what I wanted and it was way beyond how I imagined. Thalia was so sweet last night and she didn’t get tired. She took everything we gave her with ease. I didn’t even think she could take us for hours but she did. She matched both of us and even drained us. Thalia had been a pro last night with the way she handled our cocks and how she was able to go multiple rounds without getting tired or wanting out. We told her she could tell us to stop at any time but she never said the word “stop” she only asked for more. I wanted to ask her if she has done it before but I don’t th
