AEROSAfter getting dressed, I hurried downstairs to wait for her. At the base of the stairs, I paced restlessly in the hall, barely noticing when Jonathan walked up to me.“You clean up well,” he remarked, causing me to glance at him sharply. “Who are you waiting for? Ah… pardon me, I assume you’re waiting for your date for the evening, perhaps?”Raising an eyebrow, I asked, “You know about Lucian’s party?” He smiled knowingly.Leaning closer, he whispered with a mischievous glint in his eyes, “I suggested the 'bring a date' requirement.”“And I guess you're also behind the reason I got my invitation late?”His broad smile widened. “You catch on quick.”“This is the best plan you could come up with to finally see her?” I teased, and he laughed, about to respond when something at the top of the stairs caught his attention.Curious, I followed his gaze, and my eyes widened in surprise at the sight of a stunning woman standing there. I blinked, thinking it might be my imagination, but s
ELARIANAccidentally, a stranger spilt his drink on me and offered to clean me up by sending my dress to the laundry room while I waited in one of the guest rooms. I refused, but he persisted in trying to convince me.His jokes made me laugh, and I had expected to see Aeros again, but what I wasn’t expecting was to see him pounce on the poor guy with such strength that I feared he would kill him.Afraid of what would happen, I broke a rule. I reached out and touched him right in front of everyone, and I had never seen him that angry.He grabbed my arm and stormed out of the hall. The car and the driver were waiting, so we just got in and drove off. I could feel every hair on my skin stand at attention; I was so afraid of what he would do this time.He remained silent and didn’t even say a single word. He kept staring out the window and didn’t even glance in my direction, not even once.While he remained oblivious to my existence, I tried everything to keep myself calm. I kept biting a
ELARIANI was fiercely attracted to Aeros, in a way I preferred to consider a sexual attraction, but even I knew that it was much more than that. I just wasn't ready to admit it yet. Admitting to caring about a man who only saw me as an object for his own pleasure would have meant I was embarking on another journey that would only hurt me even more.Corey’s affair with Chloe only proved that I was the only one who had taken our relationship seriously. That's why I was the only one who ended up with a broken heart. I didn’t want to ever repeat that mistake with Aeros.I never wanted to give him the opportunity to hurt me like Corey did. If he only saw me as an object he acquired to satisfy himself, then I would stick to that and protect myself at all costs, even if it meant I had to wake up every day and remind myself of my position in his life.“You’re just his pet, nothing more and nothing less.” I would say this to myself every day in front of the mirror just to prevent myself from
AEROSAfter the mind-blowing sex with Elarian that led to a very powerful orgasm, I retired to bed in hopes of getting a peaceful night's rest. It had been a while since I had slept through the whole night peacefully.My nightmares had returned, and with each passing day, they kept getting worse. Sometimes I would wake up and find myself on the floor, disheveled, or in another room. But what I had never experienced before was waking up with Elarian fast asleep in my arms.For a minute, I lay in bed, not making any sound or movement, my eyes fixed on her as I watched her sleep peacefully. Elarian was beautiful, and that was undeniable. Her lips were captivating, and her face was so attractive that I couldn’t stop staring at her.At that moment, I felt my wolf stir.To others, feeling the slightest movements from their wolves might not be a big deal, but it was to me. After the death of my mate, it felt like a part of me died with her, and so did the connection with my wolf.I could sti
ELARIANWith each intimate moment with Aeros, an overpowering emotion surged within me, taking control and keeping me awake each night, waiting to hear him open my door and walk in.The moisture between my thighs, the state of my rock-hard nipples, the fluttering feeling that exploded inside me every single time I set my eyes on him, and the sharp pain that came with his rejection, all these little details combined to make me realize just how much I now cared about Aeros.It felt as if his touch had been specifically made for me. As soon as he touched me, my tense muscles relaxed, and the relief that came with his simple gestures he makes, like gently running his fingers through my hair or brushing his thumb over my bottom lip—created a much stronger connection to him.Every single time an incident occurred that reminded me of just how much I was beginning to get attached to him, it scared me because the last time I cared about someone this much, I ended up with nothing but a broken h
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
