ELARIANAeros stormed into the room and lifted the blonde by her hair. She squealed and flailed her legs wildly, but it was of no use. He brought her closer to his face and didn’t even bat an eyelid at the sight of blood trickling down her nose.“Whoever said you could lay a finger on her?” he growled angrily. “No one touches her except for me. She is mine.”"She is mine!" Those words echoed in my head nonstop.Although I knew the only reason he claimed me in public was for his ego, it felt so good to hear him say those words out loud. No one, not even Corey, had ever claimed me publicly before.That same fluttering feeling erupted in my stomach again, and my toes curled along with the sensation.“Snap out of it, Elarian! It’s just your imagination; he doesn’t love you.” A voice yelled in my head, and the echoing stopped abruptly.“Forgive me, Alpha Aeros, I just… we just… it’s not what it looks like.” The blonde continued pleading with tears streaming down her face.“Are you by any c
AEROS“The bastard wants an apology.” I laughed out loud as I strolled closer to Jonathan, who was standing beside my car with a few council members.After he received an email from one of the elders in my council, requesting my presence at an emergency meeting with the Crescent Moon Pack, we had driven out together to the venue.As soon as we arrived, the elders took Jonathan aside to have a word with him, and while I waited for them in front of the elevator, the Beta of the asshole I punched at the event showed up and requested I tender a public apology to his Alpha (Tyler) so this wouldn’t escalate into a war.How on earth would they think that I should be afraid of a war with them?It was amusing watching him try to intimidate me, but he overstepped within a few seconds, and I almost snuffed the life out of him if one of my guards had not shown up and pleaded with me to let him go.I actually let him go, but I stormed out of the building with the intention of heading back home. I
AEROSI didn’t know how to react. How does one react when the woman you're craving so badly walks into a room where you're relieving yourself of the burning desire she ignites in you?I tried to get her to leave, but she didn’t, so I decided to make use of the opportunity. I knew she couldn’t possibly stand the sight of Amora’s mouth wrapped around my cock, so I kept my cool and waited patiently for her to snap. And she did.“Fuck you and fuck whatever contract we signed, Aeros. I am done with this. I am going home.” She stated it so boldly and confidently that it took me a few seconds to process what she had just said.She turned around and walked out of the room. On impulse, I pushed Amora aside and went after her. The only reason I had allowed Amora to give me a blow job was because I couldn’t control the burning desire in me anymore.I craved Elarian so much that I was afraid if I took her every time, I might break her. The injury on her shoulder hadn’t healed, and I still hadn’t
ElarianI was back to being locked up in my room and spending the nights alone without any sign of him. He must have been keeping himself busy with the blonde.That’s the only explanation for this.I hissed loudly and smashed the cup I was holding into the wall. The pieces scattered across the room but I didn’t care about it at all. I was so pissed at myself that I didn’t even have the appetite to eat my dinner.He is just like Corey. He is selfish and thinks of nothing other than himself. I am just something he intends to use and discard yet I cannot believe I still cared about someone like him.What is it with me and liking men that do not love me in return? Am I cursed or something?I groaned out loud in frustration. I should not let whatever he has with the blonde get to me, I felt so pathetic for letting him get to me this way.He should be the one craving me, not the other way around.“Get it together, Elarian! Get it together,” I whispered to myself.When I said I was leaving t
AEROSIt’s been really difficult to breathe lately. I couldn’t close my eyes peacefully in the daytime without Blair’s face flashing before me. It was like it was getting worse than before, and I was helpless.Jonathan had no clue about any of this, and I didn’t know why I couldn’t bring myself to tell him. Anytime I got close to telling him, I chickened out and said something else.“Another shot,” I called out to the bartender.Once again, I left the mansion without security to clear my head, and I was certain that by now, Jonathan and the guards would be searching everywhere for me and might blow up my phone with calls.That’s why I turned it off.“You’ve consumed so much already. Are you sure you want more?” The bartender asked with a worried expression on his face, but I just waved him off.“It’s fine, I am fine,” I told him a lie with a smile.I was very far from fine, but I didn’t even know where to start explaining it all from.I could tell that he didn’t believe me, but he jus
ELARIANAs soon as Jonathan stepped out with the guards, I knew he would never find Aeros on his own if I didn’t help him, so I ran after him and told him that Aeros would be at the bar where he met me.He didn’t believe me, so I just did my best to convince him that it would do no harm to check it out along with me, and if I was wrong, he would just bring me back to the mansion.That won him over, and we set out together. Just as expected, we found Aeros drinking himself into a stupor in a bar, and I hatched a plan with Jonathan. The plan was to give me a few minutes in private to talk to Aeros, and he made me promise that I would tell him whatever I found out regarding what was wrong with him.He successfully locked Aeros and me inside the bar, and Aeros was definitely pissed at the whole thing.“I don’t want to be stuck in here as much as you do, but if you ever want to get out of here, then tell me what I want to know, Aeros. What are those nightmares about?” I asked as my hands s
ELARIAN“Mate!” My wolf said with a very bold and clear voice as I watched Aeros exit the bar and disappear from my view.I was surprised to hear that, and for a minute, I thought I hadn’t heard it clearly. But then it came again, and this time, there was no mistaking it. My wolf had just clearly told me that he was my mate, and there was no going back.Aeros, the cold Alpha who made me sign a contract to become his property, was my mate. The contract clearly stated that we were not to have any emotional ties, so this had only made the situation much more complicated.How was I supposed to tell a man who only wanted me for sex that he was my mate? That is, if he would even believe me.I had thought Corey was my mate, and with the kind of mating process wolves have, to have another mate after the first one is like nature’s way of giving you a second chance.It finally dawned on me that the reason I had been so drawn to him was because he was my mate. It now made sense—the deep feelings
AEROSI didn’t know what happened, but I knew that I found myself in my room as soon as I woke up. I hadn’t been in my room before; I was with the prisoner in the secret room, so how did I end up here? I thought to myself.I got out of bed and immediately crashed to the floor with a loud thud because my legs felt like jelly underneath me. I couldn’t feel them anymore.Unable to get up on my own, I just remained there, seriously contemplating what had happened last night and how I ended up in my room. Did I bring myself here, or was it Jonathan?And why couldn’t I remember what happened?“You’re awake.” A familiar voice filled the room. I couldn’t get up, so I just turned, and to my surprise, I found Elarian standing beside me with a tray containing some dishes that I couldn’t see the contents of due to my position.Shame made me look away immediately. How could I let her see me like this? She dropped the tray on the table and moved closer to me with outstretched arms. I could tell she
