LIKE DIRTY SAVAGESI lean up against the window in my bedroom, watching my Natalia sleeping so peacefully. The canopy is pulledback slightly from when she crawled into bed, after kissing my arm goodnight. There is pain in my chest as a result of not being able to touch her, to feel her perfect skin, to make her mine. My brother is snuggled in a warm,naked embrace with his mate tonight, and I stand watching mine from a distance that seems like a thousand miles. But I know that Kane suffers in adifferent way. His mate is dying. He can't mark her because it would cause an outrage within the pack. Beingnear him helps, but she still deteriorates from the inside. Emalin is too stubborn to have him mark her before theirwedding, so it has become my responsibility to make sure it all comes together within the next month, so that they can wed before the next full moon passes.I kissed Natalia on her perfect head, and slip out of the dark bedroom, lit only by the glow of the nearly full mo
SHE'S HERELate at night, Madonna and Savannah were woken up by the frantic light knocks coming repeatedly on the window. Savannah was the first to climb out of bed and when Madonna finally did, it was with a displeased groan." Now who could that be?" Rubbing at her eyes, she asked Savannah who had now stopped by the window- hesitant." I don't know but the knocks isn't stopping either. I'm thinking I should open it while you should be at alert to scream out when it turns out to be a rogue, a mafia or…" Savannah quickly clamped her mouth shut, knowing not to utter the words that would scare her off." Never mind, just do as I said." She finally find her off and receiving a scaredy nod from Madonna, she turned towards the window.Meanwhile, Madonna's heart had began to pound horrifically.Opening the window, Savannah gasped. " What are you doing here?"Crap! How? How's this even possible? She's here- This feels like a nightmare cause it's just too unbelievable." Please, just let me i
PRESSURED" You aren't worried?" Madonna stated rather than asked, looking over at Savannah and giving her a dubious look. Savannah flipped through the pages of the file in her hand, quite aggressive before shaking her head in response to Madonna's query." I don't know but you should have let her spend the night here last night." Almost getting a whiplash, Savannah jerked her head towards her, not believing her ears.Giving her the look, she shrugged nonchalantly, not taking back her words.Savannah slammed the file shut before springing up her feet, adjusting her dress. Not giving her another glance, she shoved the file back under the bed before turning around to head out." You didn't hear what I had just said?" Madonna raised a brow at her, only letting go of her wrist when she'd succeeded in obstructing her way." I thought you should know better than trying to support her. Incase you don't know, she's the main reason why the triplets hates me so much. She can go wherever she wan
A LITTLE AFFECTION " Go right there at the garden and get me the necklace that's right here." Pointing down at it, he bellowed and the guard ran out of the room. Then he furiously snapped his head towards them.One of them knows about how the mistress had got in.Madonna quickly went to stand by Savannah's side, holding tightly unto her as Oliver looked away from them once again, his concentration on the necklace. About few seconds later, the guard could be seen right there in the garden. As quick as he was sighted, Oliver pointed his index finger down towards the necklace direction and steadily, the guard began to trail his eyes down to where the Alpha's finger is pinpointed." I really don't think we can escape his wrath this time around." Madonna leaned closer to Savannah's ear and whispered, causing her to gulp intently as her fear heighten. Without been aware, her hand grabbed the hem of her crop top, fisting it tightly in her grip." What do you think we should do? We… I need
CHALLENGING HIM"Get your hands off me."Swatting at her hands, Savannah scowled and rising up her feet, she stalked out of the room, not bothering to shut the door behind her.Madonna didn't even attempt to follow her. She might need some space and she's going to have to stay on a safe distance till she's ready to be out of her shell again. Meanwhile, Geneva ushered one of the best spies in, pointing out a seat for him. Bowing, Jack sat down. Instantly Geneva left what he was appending his signatures on, to lean closer towards him. " I'm already aware you're an expert at this so am just going to cut the chase. There's someone I need you to keep a tab on.""Alright Alpha." Receiving an affirmative response from Jack, he slid his hand into his drawer and getting his hand on the small photograph, he retrieved his hand and placed it down on the table before Jack. " That's it. Even though you don't have to work from within, you can just do that outside." He spoke and Jack shook his head,
- I LIKE YOUMadonna's Pov Closing the door, he cupped my cheeks before I could do anything. Before I knew what was to come, his lips brushed against mine and could have deepened if the door wasn't flung open.I internally thank heavens for the disruption. Looking over at the door, I froze at the sight of Alpha Oliver. It was as though someone caught doing a bad deed whereas Alpha Xavier was the one who caused it. Oh damnit, I feel disappearing from their sight. I don't think I can wait for what was about to come. " What are you doing here?" Also affected by the disruption, he voiced, raking his fingers in his hair. I don't know why he's acting like a predator disrupted just as he was about catching his prey but am so thankful the kiss didn't happen before Alpha came in. Though I feel like I was caught halfway something bad." Nothing." Alpha Oliver responded, casting a brief glance at me before taking his face away before I meet his. Before I could say a word, he stepped out of the
A GENERATION TO ANOTHER "What do you mean by you like Madonna?" Geneva spat disbelievingly."Finding one's mate is not a joke. Well, that's if you still remember how we were been told it's been happening from a generation to another." Xavier stated, tucking his hands into his pocket as they both reminisced on his words.~~Flashback "You’ve got your appetite back,” Collins remarked as he observed Adrian eating away his dinner. Collins moved over to the bar and poured himself a glass of brandy.“Yes, couldn’t afford to miss a great meal for days, Adrian replied as he continued through his plate that was almost empty of the fried eggs, meat balls laced with fries and toasted bread he was eating.“Is your taste for flesh low? You know the full moon is tonight,” he asked regarding Adrian for a while. “No, it's as keen as ever,” Adrian replied his hand firmly grasping the end of the metal chain around his waist. It was the only thing to keep his cravings in check, Sandra had said when s
IT RUINED HIMFinn paced back and forth in his private chamber. They sat in silence watching the crystal ball in the center of the room flash lights around. It was an enchanted gift given by a generous witch to Finn many years ago in appreciation of a favour he did for her. "The inner eye has seen the girl now," Finn spoke as he steadily observed the gleaming globe. The figure of a young female appeared in the midst of the flashing lights within the globe. Her hair was long and dark, and she has a tall and rather slender figure but her face remained hidden in the midst of the lights."Look for her immediately," Finn directed to two of his companions in the room. Pedro and Licia stood up and vanished from out of the room. Finn continued to pace around as he helped himself to a drink while still studying the white orb. "Do you think she's a werewolf?" Justin asked as the image in the crystal ball swirled around. "I don't know. But I have a feeling she is not a fully informed werew
The End Geneva and Xavier dismissed the maids after they were done bringing their luggages in. Both having turned around at the same time to check out their new abode, a tight smile crawled on top Xavier's face. Putting back on his sunglasses, he shrugged indifferently at Geneva. " At least now we'll be able to concentrate solemnly on our duties- as Alphas at that."" Yeah, you're kinda right." Geneva nodded in agreement. The mansion been so freaking huge with its funitures and interiors costing a whomping sum of money, they found no problem with it. And also, it's one of the properties owned by them. "Do you think Oliver will be fine? He reluctantly agreed to it when we told him of our decision to leave." Just as Xavier was climbing up the stairs to explore inside, Geneva questioned him. Almost like he just heared the unbelievable, the rate at which Xavier snapped his head towards him was quite snappy. " Did you just ask that?" Xavier wagged a brow at Geneva who wagged a brow, in
STIR UP Why does that name stir up so many emotions in my heart? Hearing him say her name while kissing me was the worse thing that could have ever happened to me. How could I continue kissing a man who called me by another woman's name?It means that he was thinking about her while kissing me. The realization hits me so hard that I feel the air get knocked straight out of my body. He didn't know he was kissing me this entire time; he thought he was kissing her. This fact breaks my heart into two. All along, I was hoping that Kane knew he was with me, that he knew how close we were, that he was enjoying it, that it was making him happy. Now I know that he was thinking about her, the woman he was deeply in love with. He loved and missed her so much that he mistook me for her; for Maya.I didn't know her. I knew nothing about her but yet I didn't think I'd ever been more envious of a woman in my entire life before. How stupid was I? How could I envy a woman I'd never met? She did nothi
LAST EVENT I can't let her continue to touch me like this. My crazy heart likes it too much when it shouldn't. She's making me feel things that I promised myself that I never would until I found Maya.I don't know what's happening to me. Why do I act like this girl is my mate? I didn't only kill that man from earlier because of what he did; I also killed him because I wanted to from the moment I saw him trying to flirt with her.My reaction to her was driving me f*****g crazy. When would I stop this? What did I have to do to stop feeling this way for her? Every time I tried to push her away, something like this happened, pushing me closer to her than ever.I didn't want to snap at her, not after what almost happened to her tonight.I imagine Maya in front of me, and I see the look of disappointment on her face. She's disappointed in me for being so weak and once again letting her down. I couldn't even control my urges around another woman. I never knew that I was this soft.How coul
STEPPING AWAY"I'll return to the party," I tell him as I step away from him. It's hard for me to do it, but he's leaving me no choice. He doesn't want me here. “It's clear that you don't want me here. I won't stay where I'm not wanted. All I wanted to do was to help you as you helped me. I wanted to hear your story; you remember everything from your past while I remember nothing. I don't know who my children's father is, and I don't know my name. I don't know my family. I don't know anything. I don't know if people are looking for me, and I don't know if someone did this to me or if losing my memory was an accident. I don't know why I'm telling you this; you don't want to hear it. I'm just trying to say that while I don't remember anything about my life, you remember everything about yours. And whatever it is that you remember, I can tell that it's hurting you. I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries; as I said, I only wanted to help."Kane doesn't say anything; he isn't looking at
ASTRAY My mind was racing as I tried to make sense of his words. Was he referring to the woman he was with before he decided to marry Giselle? Is she the reason why he's always looking like this? How much did he care about her? Did he love her? There were so many questions on my mind. I needed the answers, and I had to get them now. I felt like I would go insane if he didn't tell me who she was."Who is she?" I whisper. I can't even recognize my voice. I'm scared, actually scared, to find out that this was the woman he loved. I'm not sure how I would react to this, knowing that there was a woman out there that Kane loved this much. A woman that left him in a state of depression. He doesn't have to tell me. I can see the answer in his eyes alone. But I still want to hear it. I won't believe it until he opened his mouth and told me.I wait for his answer, but it never comes."Who is she?" I ask again. "How can you say something like that without explaining yourself? I want to know who
UPCOMING "Yes," Kane finally answers. "You weren't waking up, and I knew you had plenty of things planned for us today. I had my friend, a doctor, make sure that everything was okay. He told me that it's important that you rest for a few days."Giselle shakes her head, "I can't rest when we've already lost an entire day together, Kane; we need to make up for the lost time. I have some friends coming over tonight; I didn't realize I'd been sleeping for so long. I want to introduce you to them. They will be happy to know that I've finally gotten the man of my dreams.""Do you think that's a good idea?" he asks her. "I don't want to see anything happen to your health; it was hard being by your side today and seeing you so sick. Please reconsider."Giselle smiles, and it's weird to see her look this happy all at once, "thank you for showing me your caring side. If I had any doubts about our upcoming marriage, they're gone now. You're going to make a wonderful husband and father to our f
WAKES UPI had the list of their enemies. I needed to remove the ones that didn't have sisters; that would be rare to find, but it was all I had to work with. My plan will only work if the person who wrote the letter about Maya was telling the truth.I hold the paper tightly in my hands; this is the first lead. I'm not going to stop here. The next chance that I get, I'm searching for her.I don't care where you are, Maya. I will find you, and I will make things right between us."Kane!" I heard someone shout my name. I turn towards the sound, and I recognize the person immediately.It's the same girl from before who protected me from Maya's brothers. I didn't want to stay and speak to anyone, but I think I had to at least listen to her after she saved my life. She's why I can live to find out what happened to my mate."What is your name?" I ask her.She looked startled when I asked her, but she quickly answered, "Gabriella."I nod, "not that I'm not grateful that you saved my life bef
NUZZLE I felt the girl smell me earlier. I'm sure of it. Her actions both puzzled and did things to my body that I would rather not think about. Why did she trust me as much as she did? What was it about her that continued to draw me in? She was a puzzle to me, a puzzle that I had to keep away from. She kept doing things that surprised me; I was never sure what she was about to say or do. It was easy to say that I would never have a dull moment with her. I've had people hate me from the moment they met me, who judged me. She was probably one of the first women who thought of me as someone they could trust blindly.Thinking about her while she wasn't even near me was off-limits. From now on, I had to be harsher on myself. I had to do it because I couldn't disappoint the one person that mattered to me.I look up from where I'm standing.I don't know why I'm in front of Maya's home; I wouldn't be here if I had another option to find my mate. I knew that the only way I would be able to
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWO:- BACK THEREI want to scream in frustration when Kane closes his arms around me. I'm not allowed to feel this way for him. The man doesn't even like it when I say his name. I felt his reaction when I held onto him earlier; he was unhappy about it. I think he hates it when I'm near him. He hates it when I touch him and he hates it when I speak. What was wrong with my body? Why do I act like this isn't the first time we've been this close? Why does my heart tell me that I should remember him? Why do I want to hold onto him and stay this way forever?There is no way that I knew Kane.My stupid heart was crazy for thinking otherwise; that's the only explanation I can think of. If Kane knew who I was, he would have recognized me by now. Instead, he acts like I'm a stranger, someone he doesn't want to ever be around.I'm glad that he's treating me this way; if he'd continued to be kind for no reason, my heart would have continued to waver. It's something that co
