Michael’s POVMy mouth made love to her mouth. She leaned in, and I savored every taste of her.Before I could open it, I felt a sharp sting on my cheeks.“How dare you!” Nora was seething in anger. I smiled.“Is that your own way of telling me that you liked it?” I smirked. She gasped and began to leave, but I heard her.“Let go off my arm, Michael,” she said in clenched teeth. I smiled. "No,” I simply said. She was surprised. Her eyes were wide and her breathing was uneven. I had my reason.“Michael I’m warning you for the last time; let go.” She glared at me, but that seemed to strengthen me up."Okay, I need to go; Malia will be looking for me,” she said. I had noticed that before Zen tied the knot with his wife, Nora and Malia were getting close. At first, I didn’t know what to think of their bond, but then Hercules pointed out the fact that maybe they were close because they were not from our pack. I agreed because, maybe, I often felt that Nora would be bored and lonely in my p
Nora’s POVI went pale and all white. Michael couldn’t hold it in as he burst into fits of laughter. I frowned. He said I looked just like a petulant child.“What’s funny?” I asked, but he laughed even harder.“I’m leaving” I began to stand up, but when I realized that I was not wearing anything decent, I sat back. I turned to her, and immediately we both burst out laughing."You are a clown,” I said in between laughs. Finally, Michael handed me his shirt and ran out of his room. He would stop making whistling noises about how hot I was. As I showered, the memories from yesterday flooded my head, and I smiled sheepishly.“Stop that!” I face-palmed myself to behave. Suddenly, there was a knock on my door.“Michael!""Yes, it’s me. I was wondering if you would want to come to family dinner with me,” he said as he ran his hands on his hair. I smiled. "Yes, I want to,” I said.After the dinner, I asked him to come watch a movie with me in my room. He agreed.***************It was already
Michael’s POVI woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and rustling leaves, like in the movies. I knew just right then and there that the day would be awesome. I noticed that the sun had not really come up, and if I should guess the time, it would be 5 a.m.-ish or 4:50 a.m.A slow smile spread on my face. With my eyes closed, I stretched out my hand to the other side of the bed, and I froze. My eyes flew up, and I realized that the bed was empty.Nora was gone. I sat up and looked around. My heart raced. Don’t behave like a little sissy, Michael; she did not run away.Okay, maybe she went to the bathroom. I laid back in bed and calmed my heart. As I waited, I began to think about the thrift between us.Was I being an asshole for not forgiving Jake? I know people changed, but Jake?I winced when I thought about letting Jake back in. It was just that I wasn't too sure he had turned a new leaf. I mean, I have seen him. Jake never changed. He was Judy so good at making people believe tha
Claire’s POVThree days earlier.When Saturday approached, I woke up early and spent the morning getting ready for my date with Jake. I took extra care with my makeup, choosing a bold red lip and a smoky eye, and spent more time than usual on my hair.Suddenly, my phone began to ring. I reached down and checked."Mtcheeww, this stupid girl; she doesn’t know when to stop.” I rolled my eyes.Nora thinks that everything revolves around her. I put her number on a black list and continued getting ready.As I slipped into that V-neck black dress and grabbed my purse, I felt a thrill of excitement. This was going to be a special night; I could feel it. Jake said so too.When I arrived at his house, Jake was already waiting for me at the entrance. He looked handsome as ever, dressed in a crisp white shirt and dark pants.“Hey, you look stunning,” he said, smiling at me.I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks. “Thank you,” I said, feeling a little shy.Over dinner, we talked about everything and
Jake’s POV I open my eyes and immediately realize I have company in my bed. I don’t sleep with Maria these days. It’s been a long time since she graced my bed. I had this strong urge to push whoever it was, and I immediately sat up. I stop midway when I see that ugly duck in my bed. I shut my eyes. “Anything for Nora,” I muttered. I eyed her form in bed, and I winced, shaking my head. A plain Jane with so much confidence. She might have to check her head if she thinks that I would pick her over Nora or even Maria. I stood up and went to the bathroom. On coming back, I realized that she had not yet moved. I badly wanted to kick. Who sleeps in on a Monday morning? She’s so dumb. No wonder nobody wants her. The only good thing about her was that she was a beast in bed. I glared at her, and suddenly her eyes flutter open. Immediately, I plastered a smile on my face. "Hey, apple pie.” I kissed her and immediately regretted it. “Hi baby,” she purred. “I need you to go over what we ta
Nora’s POVPain.That was the last emotion I thought would cross my mind as I picked up my clothes from Michael’s room. He looked like a baby while he slept. Will he be hurt? Will he look for me? What will be his next line of action?Questions like these lined up in my head, but unfortunately, there were no answers. I was sure of my feelings towards him. I was sure I loved him, but the problem that kept bugging me was if Michael loved me too. But then I needed answers. I needed to see for myself the kind of person Jake was. I grabbed the key from the dresser and shoved it into my pockets. Part of the reason I was getting closer to Michael was to gain access to the keys to the pack house. He, Hercules, and the chief guards were the only ones with the keys. Michael was not just my safest bet; he was the only one.I took one last look at him before I left, and my heart couldn’t take it. I put on the bathroom tap, gently opened his door, and left for Dylan’s. Staring at my son's sleep got
Nora’s POVI felt drowsy half way through the food. What was happening? Maybe I am tired. I scooted over to the other side of the room and flopped down on the couch."Oh, it’s so soft,” I muttered before I was stolen away by sleep.******************************************************************************"Nora, come on, we will be late.”“Coming mum!” I yell back.It’s my wedding today. And I might be going super late to it.So during our last meeting, the alpha of the East Moon Pack, Eric, and I shared a kiss. It was then that he marked me.When my mom saw the mark, she couldn’t contain the joy in her. She danced with so much reckless abandon that it began to look like it was her wedding. I was happy that after all the rejections, I finally got to have a mate, though I was an Omega.As soon as I got downstairs, my best friends were already there."Oh, Nora, you look beautiful,” Lora said, and I smiled.“Thanks Lo""Here, I got these for you,” Thora presented me with some lilies.
Michael’s POV“Dear Michael, by the time you see this letter, I will be miles and miles away. I had to leave. I needed to know the truth. I wanted to see it for myself. Don’t come looking for me. Take care of our son and make sure he’s happy.”“What does it say?” Hercules asked. I crunched up the paper and marched to the car. Then I turned to the guards.“Torture them till they bleed from every opening in their body, Hercules, Mia, and Zen; come on, there’s no time." I growled and continued walking. I got into the car and slammed the door shut. If I were to be honest, I think I saw Mia jump.******************************************************************************The scrunched paper lay on the kitchen table; it looked ugly, just like its content.I eyed it warily, recognizing her handwriting peeping out. The letter inside bore news that had reshaped the contours of my life. I thought she was happy. As I unfolded the paper again, the words leapt at me like venomous snakes.Hercul
