My eyes fluttered close on their own will and butterflies erupted in my stomach.His lips were so soft and gentle, everything I had ever imagined it to be.The kiss was better than any I'd ever had.I could taste the wine he'd been drinking all night on his lips and I melted into him.He held me closer to him by my hips and our chests stayed flushed against each other.His kiss was gentle and slow, as if he was savouring my taste and commiting it to memory.Unknowingly, my fingers came up and I wrapped them around his silky hair, never realizing how soft they were until that very moment.He pressed his body into me and I could feel his erection poking my stomach.Heat flared out of me and pooled in my panties.“Fuck,” he moaned into my lips as he inhaled the scent of my arousal.My legs felt like jelly at the sound of his moan. My knees buckled and if it wasn't for his hand that were holding me firmly by my hips, I would have fallen.I couldn't compare anything to this kiss because it
Waking up the next morning, I sighed deeply, feeling like a heavy weight had been placed on my chest.The embarrassment from last night came rushing back to me and I threw my head back and groaned. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I finally closed my eyes and let the warm embrace of sleep embrace me and I was already up early.Stretching my body, I turned to the clock on the bedside table.My eyes bulged out of their sockets as I read the time.11:14.That definitely wasn't early.It was already way past his meal time and I knew there was no need rushing out anymore.I relaxed into the bed and let my mind wander.In as much as I still had a lot of questions to ask and things to know about him, I wasn't sure I wanted to have any more meals with him.For the sake of my sanity.The farther I stayed from him, the easier it would be to overcome these stupid feelings that were creeping their way into my heart.I was certain I was just feeling this way because of Jason's
I mentally face-palmed myself for not taking off my clothes first but decided to think about it later.With my snout high in the air, I howled and that was when I realized how much I'd missed shifting.I walked towards the lake and for a moment, my breath seized.Instead of the shiny brown that my wolf used to be, my fur was now a silver color that shone brightly under the sun.Silver wolfs were very rare and there were a lot of myths about them but nothing seemed out of the ordinary about my wolf asides how weak she was.I stared at my reflection in the clear water for a while before Nyx whipped around and took off towards the woods.Her paws hit the ground and raised dirt on the way.Her speed wasn't so fast but I relaxed back into the run.The wind blew past her beautiful fur and the trees got thicker till we were fully in the woods.Adrenaline pumped through me as I ran tirelessly through the thick forest.Nyx was having the time of her life, running, dodging and jumping fallen br
Ares' pov“Why do you attract trouble, Luna?” I asked the woman in my arms but when I looked down, she was already fast asleep.I sighed and increased my pace in a bid to get to the house as soon as possible and get her off my arms.Not because I didn't want to hold her.Far from it.Her soft, feminine body fit perfectly into my arms and her nipples, hard from the cold air pressed against my chest, making me lose control.I increased my pace and soon, my house came in view.I pushed the front door open and rushed upstairs.The maids I passed had their heads bowed but blushed profusely from seeing my naked state.I paid them no mind and rushed up to my room and for the second time that week, I was laying here bloodied body on my bed.I threw on the first pair of shorts I could find in my closet and rushed back to her in seconds.I turned her so I could get a clear view of her back and my chest tightened at the cut.Nobody had the right to hurt her except me!Whoever that was was so luc
My eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the dim light of the room.It was already dark out and I wondered how long I'd been sleeping for.Soon, my eyes came to focus and I groaned, realizing I was in his room. Again.My eyes widened as a thought crossed my mind.“Please, no,” I mouthed and slowly raised the comforter above my body.I threw my head back to the pillow and groaned loudly.Again.I really needed to stop passing out.Nyx!“Nyx?” I called.I waited for a few seconds but there was no response from her.“Nyx?” I called again, my voice coming out panicked.She's weak and injured and I didn't know what that meant for her.“Nyx?” I tried one more time and just when I was about to go into full panick mode, I heard her small voice.“Tabitha?” She said and I breathed in relief.“How are you feeling?” I asked her.“I'm better now. I healed faster thanks to our mate,” she said.My jaw ticked and I was just about to shun her about calling him our mate but the door burst open, cutting me o
“What?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.A million thoughts raced through my mind at once.Does he know?How come?“Who are you?” He asked again, breaking me out of the jumbled mess that was my mind.“I…I don't understand,” I frowned.I was going to feign ignorance till he said whatever he knew.He cocked his head to the side, studying me intently.I almost shrank under his intense gaze but I kept my eyes glued to his, not batting an eyelash.When he saw he couldn't break me with his stare he sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.“You're silver-wolfed,” he said.“What?” I asked, still holding my breath.“Your wolf,” he repeated.Nyx.He was just talking about Nyx.I subtly breathed out in relief before turning back to him.“And?” I asked.“I haven't seen one of those in many, many years,” he said, laying emphasis on the ‘many’.His voice was heavy and his eyes were clouded. I could almost tell he had had an encounter with a silver wolf. But what I couldn't tell was whe

He quirked an eyebrow at my question.“Is that what you really want to know?” He asked.I bit my bottom lips.Was that really what I wanted to know?Without giving it a second thought, I nodded.“Then you're going to be more specific than that, sweetheart,” he said and I ignored the way my heart skipped a beat at the nickname.He was right.I probably wouldn't get a definite answer to that question.“Are the rumors about you true?” I redirected my question to a more important one.“Which one? There are so many of them,” he chuckled and I caught myself smiling at his light-heartedness.It wasn't until he tilted his head to the side that I realized he was waiting for an answer and I'd been staring for longer than was considered appropriate.I thought about the perfect way to put the question that won't bring forth more questions rather, a precise answer and while I was thinking, he stared at me patiently like he had all the time in the world.“That you were cursed with long life by the
