Xzen's POVAura's words take me by surprise. I gently pull away from her, her lust-heavy eyes lift up to meet my stunned gaze. As if sensing my doubt Aura leans in. My hard cock jolts at the sweet contact of her feminine body against mine. “Please,” the word leaves her lips with an undeniable assurance that leaves me reeling. My grip on her waist tightens as I slide a hand under her top. “Aura, when I take you…I won't stop.” At my words, a gasp escapes her wet swollen lips. My gaze drops as she watches with a flush in her cheeks, my hands sliding her dress down, over her breasts, and past her hips. The raw want in my gaze reflects in hers and my fingers move between her soft thighs, deftly sliding her white panties aside. Slowly my fingers curl into her, easily finding their way into her wetness. Aura gasps, overwhelmed by the sudden rush of pleasure.Her hands fly to my head, fingers tangling deliciously in my hair as she holds me close.“A…Alpha,” she whimpers, grinding against
Chapter 27I am sitting at the dining table, trying to focus on my meal, but my eyes keep drifting to Xzen. He's sitting opposite me. Our gazes meet and I feel my cheeks flush with warmth. I quickly look away, attempting to compose myself.Alpha Elena's voice breaks the silence, "Alpha Gerald will be visiting next week." She informs, her gaze trained on her first son. Alpha Xzen's reaction is immediate. His fist clenches, and his jaw tenses up. I can sense his annoyance, and my first instinct is to reach out and offer him some form of comfort. But I hesitate.Just as I'm wondering how to respond, his gaze locks onto mine. The atmosphere shifts, charged with a newfound intensity. Alpha Xzen slowly licks his spoon. He doesn't break eye contact. I freeze, my heart racing, as he holds my gaze.His pink tongue darts out and twirls around the golden object, effectively reminding me of how he'd used that part of him on my hardened nubs last night.Alpha Xzen's eyes seem to bore into my sou
Chapter 28I heave a sigh of relief when we step out of the pack mansion into air free of all that tension inside. Hanna's cautious eyes lock onto mine, filled with remorse. I glance ahead, my healing class is visible far ahead. The green scenery around it, a beautiful sight to behold."Aura, I'm sorry," she says, her voice barely above a whisper.I swallow, my right fingers pulling at my left sleeve. I hadn't expected her to apologize. "For what, Hanna?" I murmur, refusing to face her. Hanna takes a deep breath. "For claiming to be sick. For not being honest with you."I study her face, searching for sincerity. "Why…why did you do it?"Hanna's gaze drops, shamefaced. "I was jealous. I…I saw how close you and Xzen were getting, and I just…I felt... betrayed." “B…betrayed?" I repeat, confusion etched on my face. If anyone should feel betrayed, it's me. Hanna's eyes well up with tears. "I'm 22, Aura. Still without a mate. I'd hoped... I'd hoped Alpha Xzen would notice me, since his m
Alpha Xzen's piercing eyes locks onto mine, his hungry gaze burns with intensity. My body heats up as the air thickens with his Alpha pheromones. My heart races in my chest when he closes the distance between us, his movements swift and confident. I moan into his kiss as his tender lips capture mine. Fire burns through my veins and I press against him, submitting to his ministration. A shiver runs up my spine when he kisses a beating pulse in my neck, just above my collarbone. Then Alpha Xzen pulls back, a smile on his face, and goddess, no sight can ever be better. My heart warms at the knowledge that I'm the one who pulled out that expression from him. A beautiful face I've never seen him pull before. “You have no idea,” Alpha Xzen murmurs, his breath whispering against my skin. My lips part slightly, anticipation coursing through my veins.“How long I've waited to do that.”His long fingers graze my jaw, sending a hot shiver down my spine. His touch is gentle yet possessive, sp
Xzen's POVMy heart blossoms with an odd feeling as I sit behind my study desk, a smile spreads across my face as I reminisce my passionate night with Aura. His uncontrollable heart races, pounding in his chest like a drum. I place a palm over my heart, feeling the rapid beats, lost in the thoughts of Aura.I throw my head back with closed eyes, savoring the recollection. Collins’ voice suddenly pierces through my reverie, forces me back to reality. My eyes refocus, and I clear my throat, steadily composing myself. My smile still lingers, betraying my efforts to maintain a stoic demeanor."Collins," I say with a cough in an attempt to control my malfunctioning facial expression. "What brings you here?" I question, my gaze drifting back to the papers on my desk, but my stubborn mind lingers on Aura, the memories of our night together refusing to be silenced.Collins walks in, shaking his head at me. "You, my friend, are whipped," he says with a knowing smirk.I frown, quickly caution
I'm standing alone in the field, the early dawn casts a golden glow around me. The dew-soaked grass beneath my feet is the only witness to my plight. I'm having a hard time trying to make sense of Alpha Xzen's rejection, wondering if I pushed too hard, if I'm just not enough. A tear escapes my eye but I quickly brush it away. Lost in thought, I don't notice the approaching figure. Suddenly, a warm blanket envelops my shoulders, and I jump. "Hey, sorry to startle you," a gentle voice says. I turn to face Ace, his expression soft and concerned. "H…hi," I stammer, my eyes widening in surprise. "I um, I saw you from afar," he explains, his eyes carefully scanning my face. "You looked like you could use some company... and a blanket." A weak smile spreads on my face, grateful for his kindness. Ace stands beside me, his familiar presence comforting. Together we watch the sun rise in silence, the only sound around us being the happy birds awakening. "You okay, Aura?" Ace finally asks
My words are muffled as I sob uncontrollably against Hanna's chest."I think I love him, Hanna," I confess, my voice trembling.She remains silent, but gentle strokes of my hair. "Give him some time, Aura. I'm sure he'll come around," she suggests softly.My tears intensify just like my fears. "But... what if he doesn't?"Hanna's expression turns sympathetic. "You need to eat, Aura."I shake my head, my voice barely audible. "I don't want anything."Hanna's concern deepens. "Aura?"But my words pour out in a desperate whisper. "Maybe I…I asked him too early. I know he's the Alpha and he probably has a lot on his plate and I just... I shouldn't have expected..."Hanna's embrace tightens, offering a silent reassurance as my tears continue to flow.I hate feeling this way… so lost and vulnerable. My heart aches with uncertainty. Did I misread Alpha Xzen's feelings? Was I too foolish to hope for a connection with him? The questions swirl in my mind, making my tears fall harder."I don't f

My heart burns, my senses too alert. It's an undeniable fact that I'm overwhelmed by the sudden onset of my heat. I wasn't expecting this. I wasn't taught how to manage it. It seems to be double the pain of last time.My eyes well up as the memory of Alpha Xzen's rejection still lingers. But then my body's urgent needs push aside any emotional pain. I'm consumed by an uncontrollable longing for physical connection, for the touch of an Alpha to soothe my feverishly sensitive flesh.Goddess, my skin feels like it's on fire, my core throbbing with a deep, aching hunger. I toss and turn, seeking relief from the demonic heat coursing through my veins.Sadly, all I can think of is my Alpha, Xzen.
