Michael’s POVDon’t come closer. What the hell does that mean?I took one step closer, and my eyes widened.“Nora!” she had collapsed beside the tree. I ran to the tree and began to untie the rope that used to bind her hands."Nora, open your eyes.” I shook her vigorously. Her lips spread in a low smile as her eyes were half open. “I told you not to come close. You just wouldn’t listen.”“Oh baby” I kissed her on the head. ‘I thought I would never see you again. Come, let’s go home, okay?”“Where is Dylan?” she coughed.“He is with us. He is on his way to the Nexton pack. He is on his way home, as we speak.” I showered kisses on her face.“That is good,” she croaked. “Now I want you to leave. I want you to leave me here. Go away.” She used her frail hands to shove me, but she was weak.“No! I am going nowhere without you.” I hugged her tighter.“Do you know?” She looked up at me as her eyes watered.“What! What happened, baby?” I asked as I egged her to speak.“He killed her. He fucki
Nora’s POVMichael and I danced to a romantic song. My feet were moving up and down along the floor as the bass of the song reverberated through our bodies. I was wearing my white shirt sleeve shirt today with black shorts, the same as yesterday as well. Tonight, though, I wore a red short gown, which screamed lust.Pressed close to Michael’s body, I felt his erection. He put his arm around my waist, pulling me closer, while his other hand gripped my ass tightly. His lips grazed mine for a second before he turned towards my neck and bit it gently. I moaned into his mouth at the sensation. He chuckled softly against my skin when I moved away from him, panting lightly. We resumed dancing, but now it was a slow, sensual dance with a slow rhythm as we both tried out new moves. My hand traveled down his back, and I rubbed circles there, feeling his muscles shift under my fingers. I could feel his dick against my thigh.I pulled him closer so he couldn’t move away any further. He groaned qu
Maria’s POVI kicked the shoes off my feet and let the smoothness of the rug stroke my feet. It was like bliss on earth. In the hospital, standing and sitting were the same thing. With the common denominator being concern, Logan had not woken up when I decided to leave and get some fresh clothes. The doctor cleared me after I was given vitamins and folic acid for the baby. I had to keep visiting Logan.Damn, taking care of Logan can be annoying. I mean, I know he is a billionaire who can have anything with the snap of his fingers, but he has never had a good family. They all want his money, just like me. I looked around like a robot. Everything has been as I left it. With tired eyes, I walked into my room and collapsed down on the bed. I badly wanted an embrace. I wanted someone to tell me that everything was alright. My brain threatened to shut down, but I sat up. I was Maria. I lived most of my life alone. I don’t need anyone.Inhaling my armpits, I squeezed up my nose. ”A bath wil
Nora’s POVClaire had died when the attack on them got stronger. She was a girl caught in a crossfire, according to what Hercules said. It was they who shot her. It was those goons that were with her.It was raining cats and dogs as we gathered on the burial ground. Everywhere was littered with people of color. Malia had her eyes red like those of someone who had been drinking. She is leaning on Zen’s chest, staring out like a zombie. All traces of color drained from her face. I couldn’t help her with her pain, but I told her how sorry I was. She had nodded earlier at my words. Not even sparing me a glance.I looked up at the pictures of two smiling girls who were an exact copy of each other. Without the change in hair color, Claire was just Mila and Malia, but this time slimmer. I kept watching, hoping. I was praying that Mila would sit up from where she is kept and tell me that this is just a joke. She would call me a big cry baby, and she would tease me some more.“To a friend and
Nora’s POV“What do you mean you can’t find Dylan?” Michael sprang up.“I went into his room and looked, and I couldn’t find him,” I stammered.“You can’t be sure; maybe he might be hiding somewhere,” Mia said. Michael, Zen, and Hercules all rushed out as they ran upstairs, screaming Dylan’s name.“It’s happening again,” I muttered as I looked dazed."No, Nora, it’s not." Mia stopped me in my trance. I stared into her eyes as tears threatened to fall from my eyes. "No, Nora, now is not the time to cry.”“Then what should I do?” My voice cracked at the end of the sentence.“We go looking for him,” she said, taking my hands, and we followed in the screaming of my son’s name.Three hours . later, it was certified that Dylan had gone missing. I wanted to cry, but I noticed that it ended up making me feel weak. So I decided to do the opposite.Rage.I bolted out of the room like lightning.I ran with all my strength, but the weight of my dress slowed me down. I didn’t know where I was goin
Mia’s POVEven though the disappearance of Dylan made the atmosphere in the pack gloomy, it didn’t stop the hurricane that was brewing in my relationship with Hercules.Hercules might have told everyone that he had nothing to do with that girl, Nyla, but I would be the last person to believe him. Never.Yesterday, while they got prepared to go look for Dylan, that girl was hanging around Hercules. She didn’t let him be. To make it all worse, Hercules was egging her on. He smiled as they spoke and all.That night, when he was back, it was as if Michel was pouring salt in my wound; he made Nyla a part of the council, just like me. She had a say in decision-making. Michael said that was the least he could do since she helped them get to Jake, but I still have a feeling that the girl was out for no good.I couldn’t keep calm as I prepared dinner that night.“How the freaking hell do you explain to me that you and Nyla are not doing anything behind my back?” I said calmly while cutting the
Nyla’s POV “Strip.” “What!?” My heart smashed open. “You heard me,” he said with a bored look on his face. “But sir, I...” I began looking everywhere but at him. “But what? You said you would do anything to make it up to me,” he said, picking up his phone and not sparing me a glance. "Yes, I said so.” He cuts me off. “So you lied?” he turned, facing me. Still that bored expression on his face. "No, I didn’t. I meant it when I said so, but I” I stared at my feet and back at him. He took a step toward me, not breaking his stare. I had a strong desire to take a step back, but I can’t seem to move my legs. I guess fear has me glued to the floor. “Then you do not know what the word’ anything' means.” “I do,” I stammer. "No, you don't." Another step towards me. He is closer now. I can perceive his perfume. “I really want to make it up to you. I really do.” I babble. As he takes another step, I take one back, but I find out that I am against his bookshelf. Now I am cornered. I lo
Nyla’s POVI packed my bags in absolute silence. The man said we would be leaving for the werewolf side the day after tomorrow. I peered into my phone to find the message from my mom’s doctor.Thank you for the money. We will commence treatment on your mom now.I had insisted on a down payment, which was 20,000 dollars. The man didn’t hesitate to pay. I sighed. Now it was my turn to hold up my own end of the bargain. I have been on the werewolf side for years, since I ran away. Luckily for me, I was adopted by my mom and dad. I hate the werewolf side. It’s all about survival, and I hate it. Thinking about it made me more anxious. I grabbed the phone and began to look for the number of that strange man. Maybe this was just a mistake, but then a memory came to mind.*************************"Hello,” I whispered.“Hello baby, Are you there now? Did you get there on time?” the voice said. Instantly, I knew who it was."Yes, mom, I did,” I reply as I make my way to a seat I spotted from a
