#ROSALIE’s... APARTMENT# The next morning, Tinsely work up early as she drifted out of the bed, she yawned tiredly and stretched her limbs exhausted drifting out of the bed. Glancing at the wall clock hung in the wall of her room, she was time was 7: 59 Am. “Shit! She cursed under her breath as she realized that she was getting late for work, and she recklessly began to pull off her clothes. Striding briskly to the bathroom, she was stark naked as she turned on the facet the shower ran down her skin and she trembled at the cold water. Tinsley took her time to bathe properly, but she was at the time fast as she left the bathroom twenty minutes later with a towel shrouded around her body. Flickering her legs at the wardrobe, she rummaged through the clothes before settling for a plain black shirt and turtle neck red top. Later on, she stood in the dressing mirror and styled her hair beautifully, before glazing her lips with a red glistening gloss. “I think I am set,” she muttere
Tinsely closed her eyes immediately, her heart was beating faster than usual as Lorenzo’s face was a few inches away from her face. “Why are you closing your eyes?” He asked, obviously taunting her as he shifted away from her. “Huh?” Tinsely unfurled her eyes, and she found all eyes on her and her cheeks burned hotly in shame. “Why are you all standing here like morons? Don't you guys have work to do?” Lorenzo growled annoyingly at his work. “Apologies boss!” They all said in unison and started to disperse in different directions. “Talk to you later,” Mary stylishly whispered to Tinsely before she walked away. Tinsely nodded her head at her. Meanwhile, Jeanette was standing numbed on the spot as she cried in jealousy mixed with anger. Did Lorenzo just flatter Tinsely in front of everyone? Is he in love with her? “I should be the one he is flattering and not that bitch, Tinsely!” She folded her fists and gritted her teeth. In a fit of anger, she stormed off. “Hey, why did yo
“What is going on here?” Lorenzo growled as he walked dangerously toward them. “Lorenzo!” Tinsely gasped shockingly, she was stunned by him, and she hurriedly pushed David away from her. “Bastard!” Lorenoz roared at David and he furiously punched his nose. “David!” Amelia shouted fearfully, and her eyes widened in panic. “Shit.” David cursed under his breath, and he use his hand to clean his bleeding nose, he has a cut on his lip as a cause of the punch. “Why do you have to hug her like that?” Lorenzo shouted at David, and he tried to smash his face again. However, Tinsely hurriedly pulled him back. “Please stop, please!” She begged him. “Let go of me right now, I need to teach this fool some lessons,” Lorenzo struggled to yank her hand's away from him, but Tinsley hugged him tighter. David was still grunting and snorting painfully, his nose hurts, and Amelia moved closer to help him but he annoyingly pushed her away. Amelia gasped and she fell to the ground. “Woah!” Spence
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT* Tinsley's heart sank as she got down the taxi, paid the driver, and started to walk towards the door of Rosalie’s apartment. She was feeling hurt deeply, she was thinking about how Lorenzo gave her cold shoulder by asking her to leave his office and it truly made her sad. She misses him, and the mate bond made it worse for her to cope. As she made her way to the living room, she saw her roommate Lucinda sitting at the table, engrossed in her art. Tinsley tried to put on a brave face, but her sadness was palpable."Hey, Lucinda," Tinsley said, her voice barely above a whisper as she entered. Lucinda looked up and smiled, but it quickly faded when she saw the gloom in Tinsley's eyes."What is wrong with you?" Lucinda asked, concern engraved on her face."It's Lorenzo," Tinsley replied, her voice catching in her throat. "He's giving me the cold shoulder all day, and it's all because of David."“David?” Lucinda's eyes widened, she was confused about how David ca
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT* The next morning, Tinsley woke up with a heavy heart, worried about how things would be at the office. She had been dreading this day ever since her fight with Lorenzo, her mate, the day before. By now, she was still hoping that things would be okay between them, and they could move past their argument. She knew she had messed up and had been too harsh with him. However, she couldn't help feeling hurt by the way, Lorenzo had treated her the day before.“I miss him, I terribly miss him so much,” Tinsely mutters under her breath, stepping out of her room and she meets Rosalie in the kitchen. “Good morning, bestie, where is Lucinda?” She asked her about her younger sister. “Ugh, she just left out a while ago,” Roslaie replied while she was washing the dishes. “Oh, okay then, I am off to work!” She announced and then took off. She got to the roadside, and she boarded a cab to work. A few minutes later, Tinsely arrives at the company and she paid for the cab
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT* Tinsey stepped out of the taxi, and the cool evening breeze blowing on her face, bringing a feeling of freshness and excitement. She felt a sense of relief wash over her; she was happy that she had finally settled the conflict with Lorenzo. As she walked towards the house, she couldn't help but smile at the thought of seeing him soon. She had missed him so much during the cold times between them. Tinsley was still smiling as she walked briskly to the door, she couldn't help but smile to herself. It felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders, and she was grateful that they had resolved their differences. This made her finally able to breathe easily. Getting to the door, Tinsely unlocked the front door and stepped inside. She was eager to tell her friends the good news, and she saw them upon her entering. Rosalie and Lucinda were at the dining table, and they were both engrossed in a game of cards. They looked up as Tinsely entered, and Lucinda
It was a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon, and Tinsely was feeling excited as she sat in the back of the taxi with Lucinda and Rosalie. They were on their way to visit Lorenzo at his house like Lucinda had suggested yesterday.As the taxi weaved through the busy city streets, the girls chatted excitedly about other things. Finally, they arrived at Lorenzo's house, and the security let them in when they saw Tinsely and they bowed respectfully at her. As Tinsely, Lucinda, and Rosalie approached the front door of Lorenzo's mansion, Lucinda couldn't help but stare in awe at the grandeur of the building. The garden was immaculate, and the exterior of the mansion was stunningly beautiful. Rosalie, who was a bit more reserved, took it all in quietly, nodding approvingly.She was also hoping she would see her mate, Spencer. When they finally made it to the door, she knocked confidently. However it was Tems who answered. Tinsely's heart sank when she saw him. She remembered their last
The room was filled with a tense silence as Lucinda stood there, her eyes blazing with anger. It was in her hallucination that she stabbed Lorenzo, but now, she wants to stab him for real... "Don't pretend like you didn't know anything, Lorenzo!" she yelled, brandishing her fork.Before anyone could react, she lunged at him. But, Spencer was quick to react. He jumped up from his seat and grabbed Lucinda's arm, pushing her away from Lorenzo."What are you doing? Stop this!" He shouted, trying to reason with her.Lucinda struggled against him, trying to break free. "Let me go! He deserves this!" she yelled, her voice filled with rage.“What?” Tinsely muttered shockingly, she has never seen her sister this way. Has Lorenzo and Lucinda met before? On the other hand, Rosalie was shocked too, unable to believe what she was seeing. Tems too was watching the scene unfold, gazing at Lucinda with a look of disgust on his face. “What do you mean?” Lorenzo gnarled at Lucinda, and he hated
The full moon lingerie high in the night sky, radiating a silvery sheen over the clearing where the after-party for Tinsley and Lorenzo's coronation as Luna and Alpha was in full swing. The air was filled with gleeful laughter, music blaring in the air, and the scent of celebration. The pack members had gathered, enthusiastic to honor their new leaders and revel with them in their victory.Xavier, David, and Spencer, even Rosalie we're in the spot, they stood around the table where the center of the festivities was going on. They chatting happily, clutching their wines in their hand as they exchanged a few whispers.Xavier raised his glass and grinned. "To Tinsley and Lorenzo, our new Alpha and Luna of the pack! Long may they reign!" He hollered. “Cheers!” David and Spencer chorused, joining in the toast as they clink their glasses together. “It's time to dance, I wanna dance,” Rosalie giggled as she pulled Spencer with her. “Oh boy, I guess we are the single one then,” Xavier
*THE SEA—PORT* After some minutes, Lorenzo arrived at the seaport and he hurriedly stepped out of his car. His heart beating with deep anticipation, he just couldn't wait to confront Tems and rescue Tinsley. Walking through the abandoned area, a creepy breeze hung in the air and the ominous silence hovered. The spooky scenery heightened his sense of urgency, and he exacerbated his senses. All of a sudden, he caught sight of Honey who was standing a few feet away from him. She was chewing gum bitchily, and was putting on a sensual smile. Lorenzo's face hardened as he approach her with cautious steps, uncertain of her true intentions. When their eyes locked, he saw the flicker of lust flash through them. “Well, well, well, look who we have here,” Honey purr with mischievous eyes, walking in a circle around him. Then she stopped in her track, right in front of him as she said, “It has been a long time, Alpha.” “Why are you doing this?” Lorenzo asked meanly. “Because you neve
*LORENZO’s MANSION* It was a beautiful morning as Lorenzo woke up from his deep slumber, but the morning wasn't beautiful to him as he sat on his bed. He was fucking worried about Tinsely, his mind buzzing as he wondered where she could be. He had searched through the city, he left everything unturned and he sent his men to join the search too. But it all ended up with no result to show for it, she wasn't found and his heart was worrying immensely. The room was shimmering from the sun ray which was greeted by the morning sun screening through the curtains of his bedroom. Blinking away a scrap of sleep, Lorenzo stretched out his limbs and yawned softly, feeling exhausted from their search party yesterday. Just as he swung his legs over the rim of the bed, his gaze fell upon the alarm clock on his bedside table. It read 8:00 am, ascertaining that it was indeed morning. Hence. Lorenzo stood up, and he made his way to the bathroom. He needed to freshen up. Stepping inside, the c
*TEMS—PENTHOUSE* It was exactly noon when Tinsley woke up from her unconsciousness, she was feeling particularly messy, disoriented, and groggy. Finally, she regained consciousness, and her eyes grew widened shockingly when she saw Tems! He was lying next to her on the bed, and she attempt to move away quickly from him. However, her actions were terminated abruptly and she realized she was chained to the bed with her limbs constrained. “What!” A wave of panic, fear, and desperation to flee overcome Tinsley as she started screaming. “Somebody please help! Help me!” She was crying hysterically, and shouting for help. Her voice was resounding through the room, and that had stirred Tems from his nap. His eyes slowly blinked open, and a twisted grin crept on his face as he gazed obsessively as he enjoyed seeing her screaming in terror.“Hey, baby, what's wrong?” He asked, and he sat up on his butt. He tried you touch her, but she spits at his face. “Don't you dare touch me!” She s
It was a freezing morning as Jeannette walked briskly through the street, she couldn't wait to get home yet. After everything happened to Lorenzo, she had decided to lay low for now. The early morning haze swung in the air, summing up with an ominous atmosphere to the surroundings. Jeannette held her bag tightly, and she constricted her coat around her. Her footsteps reverberated against the pavement as she scurried towards her house which a few walks away.Just as Jeannette veered around a corner onto her street, a feeling of relief washed over her as soon as she saw her house a few blocks away. Finallyshe arrived at her house, and Jeannette fumble with her keys. Her breath were creating perceptible puffs of fog in the chilly air. Hence, she swung the door open, and stepped inside before shutting out the cold world behind her.Jeannette ambled to the couch, but she didn't sit as she struggled to remove her coat first. She could not even register her surroundings for a moment.
*ROSALIE’s APARTMENT* It was late in the evening, and the sun was just seeing below the horizon. Tinsley was walking through the streets, her face was pale and she was looking ragged. A few minutes later, she arrived finally at Rosalie’s apartment and she slowly opened the front door. Her body was dangling with weariness and her eyes filled with grief. Just as she stepped inside the living room, the aroma of freshly baked cookies swirled her nose as it flowed from the kitchen. Tinsely stomach crumbled hungrily, and at that moment, she knew she hadn't eaten since morning. Closing the door behind her, Rosalie scampered out of the kitchen with concern inscribed on her face.“You are back! Where have you been since last night? I was fucking worried about you, best!” Rosalie said worriedly, and she opened her arms wide. Tinsely wrapped her hands around tightly, then she rested her head on Rosalie’s shoulder. “I'm always fine, you don't have to worry about me, okay?” Tinsely softly
*LORENZO’s–MANSION* It was a luminous morning, and the sun was seeping into the room through the window. Tinsely gradually opened her eyes, and she quickly sat up when she realized she was sleeping on a bed that wasn't her own. A wave id confusion flashed on her face, and it was quickly replaced with shock as she recognized she was lying next to a man. Tems! “What!” A wild gasp fled out her lips, her heart was racing as she tried to comprehend what had exactly happened.Rosalia’s apartment... The bar... Startled by Tinsely’s sudden awakening, Tems stirred up from his slumber. Seeing her sitting up next to him, he smiled warmly ad he attempted to reach out and touch her. “Don't touch me!” Tinsely snapped, recoiling from his touch she slapped his hand off. Tems frowned, he tried again to touch her but she pushed him away their time with force."No! No! This can't be happening! This can't be happening to me!!!” Tinsely cried, her voice sounding whispering. Her entire body was t
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT* It was night already when Tinsley gradually regained her consciousness as her eyes fluttered open. A slight mix of confusion blurred her mind as she tried to make sense of her surroundings, she was inside a dimly lit room... As she looked around, she saw she was inside Rosalie’s room. Rosalie was sitting on the bed beside her, she was sleeping but with concerned expression on her face.Somehow, she stirred up from her sleep and she shockingly exclaimed, “Tinsley!" Her voice was buttered with both relief and worry as she moved closer, and immediately drew Tinsley in a a tight hug, holding her body close. “Thank goodness! You're awake, you don't know how much I've been so worried about you."Tinsley's head was still reeling, and her heart was racing rapidly as she struggled to put the whole piece together of what had happened. Reazling that, her eyes widened as she spoke in her trembling the voice which was barely above a whisper. “Tell me, Rosalie, is it tr
The morning rays gently screened through the window, and it was radiating a soft shimmer upon Tinsley's face. All of a sudden she stirred up, her eyes were deeply red and swollen from the tears she shed last night. The weight of the event settled heavily in her heart and her soul is crushed. In a slow motion, Tinsely stood to her feet and then she walked towards the window, her steps are quiet and mild. Getting to the window, she pulled the white curtains aside as she gazed cityscape before her.Lost in her mess thoughts, she continued staring silently at the scuttling streets below with her mind filled with the memories of the party. The consequence of it all felt stifling, and she yearned for a moment of peace amidst the disarray that had gobbled her life.An hour later, Tinsely still stood at the window, trying to sought comfort in her silent contemplation. Unexpectedly, the door of her room swung open, and Rosalie flew in, her face filled with intensity. "Rosalie?" Tinsley
