The morning came too soon. A soft beam of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. My body felt heavy, as though the exhaustion of the previous day had embedded itself deep into my bones. I blinked groggily, disoriented by the unfamiliar warmth cocooning me.And then it hit me.Kade.My heart lurched, and I instinctively jerked back, only to find that the source of warmth was no longer lying beside me. The bed was empty, the sheets on his side rumpled but cold. I let out a shaky breath, a mixture of relief and confusion washing over me.Had he left? Why hadn’t I woken up when he did? The thought that I’d slept so soundly in his presence both unnerved and irritated me.I pushed myself upright, clutching the blanket to my chest as I scanned the room. The bathroom door was closed, but I didn’t hear the sound of running water. My gaze darted to the small desk near the window, where a folded piece of paper caught my eye.Curiosity tugged at me, and I s
The training dragged on, but I refused to let exhaustion slow me down. Kade's gaze seemed to follow me with every movement, sharp and calculating, as though he were cataloging my every flaw. He didn’t pair with me again after the initial spar, but his presence loomed over me, pushing me harder than I thought possible.By the time the session ended, my muscles felt like they were made of lead. The pack dispersed slowly, some offering me lingering looks, others ignoring me entirely. I stayed behind, leaning against a wooden post to catch my breath.“You held your own today.”The voice startled me. I turned to see Torren standing a few feet away, arms crossed, his smirk less mocking this time.“Barely,” I muttered, wiping the sweat from my brow.“Barely’s better than nothing,” he said with a shrug. “Most don’t land a hit on Kade their first time sparring. You’ve got potential.”His words, while backhanded, felt oddly like praise. I narrowed my eyes at him. “Why does it sound like there’s
The next few days passed in a strange quietness, a calmness that I hadn’t expected after everything that had happened. During the day, I trained alongside the pack, pushing myself further than before. Kade’s presence, though still looming in the background, wasn’t as oppressive as it had been. There was a quiet understanding now—a shift in the way he looked at me. He wasn’t constantly hovering, scrutinizing my every move, but I knew that he was watching from the sidelines, waiting to see if I would keep my word.Training felt different. It wasn’t just about proving myself to the pack anymore. It was about proving it to myself. I focused more than ever, growing stronger each day, each sparring match, and feeling my body begin to adapt to the intensity of the training. There were no more whispers of doubt in my mind, no more insecurities about my place here. I was earning my place, step by step.At night, things remained just as peaceful. Kade didn’t come to my room again, and for that,
I remained in the room the whole day and in my bed. Beta Henry threatened to tell Alpha Kade but probably he didn't have time for me.He didn't come in my room except for the maids that brought me breakfast, lunch and supper.Since I spent the whole day in bed, I currently had no sleep. And yet it was now night. "Dammit", I closed my eyes forcefully then I turned around on the bed and faced the window.It was a full moon.A full moon.The moment I stared at it, my heart beat quickened and sweat collected around my forehead immediately. I took in large breaths and knew it that I was damn screwed up. It was here.The dreams.... every time I get my heat.All of the sudden a glint of light shinned into the open window. The large full moon lit up the normally dark room, blanketing the walls in the reflection of the light then everything changed.My mind drifted far away in the dream world. [ I looked around the small room, taking in the scenery as much as possible. I was lying in a fu
It was frustrating , this incessant pull, this relentless need that refused to be ignored. My body burned, my skin tingled, and my mind was fogged with the remnants of the dream, as if it were more than just a dream. As if my body had truly felt Alpha Kade's touch.I gritted my teeth, yanking my hand away from my slick center. This wasn’t fair. It wasn’t right.Why him?Of all people, of all possibilities, why was my heat making me crave the one man I loathed the most? The arrogant, self-righteous Alpha who thought the world revolved around him. The same Alpha who barely acknowledged my existence unless it benefited him.I threw the sheets off me, letting the cold air sting my heated skin. Sleep was impossible now.I got up and pulled on a pair of thin shorts and a tank top before heading downstairs for water. The pack house was silent, save for the distant sound of the wind howling through the trees outside. The full moon’s glow poured through the large windows, making the halls appea
The moment our lips met, everything else ceased to exist.The heat that had been simmering inside me erupted into a full-blown inferno. Kade's kiss was rough, demanding—like he was claiming me, branding me with every movement of his lips against mine. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me even closer, as if he wanted to mold my body to his.I hated how much I liked it.How much I craved it.A desperate whimper escaped me, and that sound seemed to snap something inside him. He growled low in his throat, deepening the kiss, his tongue sliding past my lips with sinful expertise. I clutched at his shoulders, my nails digging into his bare skin, needing something—anything to ground me.But there was no grounding this.Kade lifted me effortlessly, settling me onto the cool marble countertop. My legs parted instinctively to accommodate him, and he stepped between them, his hands roaming over my thighs, pushing the hem of my shorts higher. His touch was fire, searing every inch of me, sendin
"Dammit , do I have to wake you up every morning?""What kind of Luna will you be?", I rolled away and pulled the blanket over my tired frame to drown out the scintillating sun and the voice of the annoyed enforcer. Yesterday it was the beta that came for me and now today it was the enforcer.I still didn't want to go for training. I was still in my heat and my wolf was so sexually active. My mind was still spinning with thoughts. I was still wondering how I allowed the person I hated most in this world to kiss me.I hated the Alpha how did l let him touch me.I clenched my fists under the blanket, frustration rising as the memories of that kiss flooded my mind again. The Alpha’s lips too demanding, too overpowering, they had left an impression that I couldn’t shake, no matter how much I tried. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him, felt him, and it made my wolf whimper in the back of my mind, urging me to give in. But I refused.I wasn’t ready. Not now, not ever.His touch had b
"You have never walked away from a fight. Is it because of heat?", "Am I affecting you so much?", My eyes snapped open, anger flaring at his smug tone. I turned to face him, meeting his dark gaze with all the defiance I could muster. His expression was unreadable, but his presence was overwhelming, like he knew exactly how much he was affecting me and enjoyed every second of it."You don’t affect me," I lied, forcing my voice to remain steady.Kade took a slow step closer, his movements deliberate, controlled. The scent of his dominance wrapped around me, and my wolf whimpered at the proximity. My body betrayed me, heat pooling in my core, but I clenched my fists, determined to fight it."Really?" he mused, his voice deep and knowing. "Then why did you run?"I swallowed hard, refusing to let him see how much I was struggling. "I walked away because Harriet isn't worth my time. Unlike you, I don’t waste my energy proving something to people who don’t matter."His lips twitched, amuse
I placed both of my arms over the headrest of the couch and placed my chin on them as I watched Alessandro, my back was now facing the TV.I really liked staring at him... does that make me creepy?As if he felt my eyes on him, his gaze flicked directly toward me, making my breath hitch. We just stared at each other in silence. His expressions were nothing but indifferent, and cold, and yet I felt like my whole body was suddenly on fire.He slightly rolled his eyes, just slightly, and god! If it wasn't the hottest eye roll I have ever seen in my life. I smiled in return, I know it was my staring that vexed him.He narrowed his eyes back at me. "How was college?" he asked, his voice rough and demanding.I gave him a wide smile. "Perfect..."Like you-I wanted to add but I didn't.I think I have a huge crush on Alessandro Costello, maybe, it's because he is the first man I have ever known, and maybe I'll grow out of it when I'll meet new people at college. Because being cramped up in a h
I approached the woman with sweaty hands and trembling legs, there were just so many people behind her. I have never been a part of a crowd. I have never even been in a place with so many people before. My heart pounded against my ribs as if trying to fulfill a thousand beats. I deeply exhaled, releasing some of the tension that had built up in my muscles."Welcome to Columbia University, Ms. Martinez. My name is Tara Wells and I'll be your guide through everything..."I smiled politely at her. "Thank you...""Although your admission was kind of last-minute, you arrived just in time for the orientation week.""Oh..." was all I could say as I didn't even know what orientation week was.I know Alessandro must have something to do with my last-minute admission, and now I really don't know how I will ever repay everything he has done for me."Let's start with the campus tour"With a smile on my face and anxiety shooting through my veins I followed Tara as she showed me around the campus.
I unwrapped it and saw a cell phone printed over the box. Alessandro brought me a phone. I grinned as I excitedly opened the box and took out the cell phone."It's a phone!" I squealed.I never had a phone, my parents had them but I wasn't allowed, dad sometimes let me play games on it but that was just it.Alessandro gave me a slight smile like he found my reaction funny or stupid but I was too happy to care. He stood up and I took a step back."Come on, I'm taking you to college."Suddenly words had abandoned me, I watched him stunned. I had a cellphone and now he was taking me to college.Where has this man been my entire life?I couldn't help the scream that left my lips with excitement, I threw myself in Alessandro’s arms. I wrapped both of my arms around his neck as if my life depended on it.At first, he didn't hug me back, disappointment filled my chest, as I thought that I crossed a line. Biting my lower lip, I began to pull away but then I felt his large, warm hand on my low
I didn't step out of my room yesterday, I stayed inside even though I was extremely hungry but still I didn't step outside of this bedroom door. There were no locks or bolts over it but the fear that has been engraved in my mind was too raw. I couldn't shake it off, even if I tried.It was still early in the morning, and Alexander or Scott hadn't come to my room. I brushed my teeth, showered, and dressed up in clean clothes. My stomach growled with hunger but I wrapped my arms around it, suppressing the sounds.The door opened slightly and I got off my bed in a flash, my eyes tearing up again. I needed a list of rules, I needed to know what I can or can not do. Alessandro can't just expect me to know the rules of his house. He needs to tell me first, he needs to explain them to me.If he had told me not to get out of my room, I would have never done it. I wasn't a brat, I would have listened to him.I dropped my gaze to my feet, I didn't care if it angers him that I didn't look him in
I shook my head at his words immediately. Tears welled up in my eyes, and my stomach churned. I wanted to throw up. He tugged my head backward outstretching my neck. "No, Alessandro, please, I won't drink, I promise, please"A dark ghost of a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. I couldn't believe how all this was amusing to him. "But as it was your first time, I'll let it slide, Natalya"A breath of relief escaped from my lips. "Thank you..."His eyes raked all over my face. "Next time, I won't be so tolerant with you. Do you understand?"I inhaled sharply and nodded."Words, Natalya!""Yes... I understand"Slowly, his grip on my hair loosened and then he let me go. He stepped back and put both of his hands in his pockets again. He walked backward until his back was against the wall."Freshen up"He just stood there and watched me as I got up from my bed, tugging my t-shirt down. His eyes slowly raked all over my body, I was completely aware of his scrutinizing gaze that burned in
My head...I woke up with a monster headache, I don't know what happened last night or why I was feeling this way. My eyelids had a ton of weight on them making it difficult for me to even open my eyes.I yawned and stretched my body. My lips were chapped, and my mouth had dried up. I groaned with the blinding headache before retreating under the covers.Why was the room so bright? Didn't I draw the curtains last night? I don't remember... I don't even remember how I got to my room and my bed."Natalya..." a deep voice resounded throughout my room.Someone said my name with such venom that I flinched in my sleep. It wasn't Scott, I knew that much. I prayed that it wasn't Alessandro. Please, don't be Alessandro. I don't think I can talk to him with so much weight over my head.Pushing aside everything I was feeling, I forced a droopy eyelid open.I propped up on my elbows and leaned my head against the soft headboard. I opened both of my eyes with such difficulty that it was so painful
She got off the bed and I pushed her back over it. "Fucking sleep, you are too out of control""I need to change!"In a swift motion, she took off her fucking blue dress right in front of me. I froze in my spot, she had a body of a fucking goddess. I wanted to bury myself deep inside of her and fuck her till she can't fuck walk the next day.She was wearing blue bra and panties. The color perfectly contrasted with her porcelain skin. She was fucking drunk out of her mind and almost damn naked.My self-restraint was hanging by a fucking thread now. I better get a fucking raise by Alessandro for tolerating this shit.She got up and swayed to the bathroom. I instinctively followed that beautiful taut ass to the bathroom and watched as she turned the shower on and stood under it, her undergarments still on.My dick began to harden at the sight of her showering in her undergarments. I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the nearby wall, restraining myself from touching her.Th
I pushed the blade further into his skin as blood poured out. He screamed, he fucking screamed in agony and fucking hell, it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.Other than that little fucking whimper of hers.I hate it, I fucking hate babysitting her. Do I fucking look like a man that would babysit an nineteen year-old girl? She was not a fucking child. She was a fucking woman.You could only find tits and ass like that on a fucking woman.It took a lot of self-restraint to not fuck her on that fucking couch. To tell her what the fuck sex is. Fucking demonstrates that shit for her. I fucking wanted to wreck the purity that surrounded her all the fucking time.She has a face of an angel and the body of a devil. If she wasn't Alessandro's I would have taken her for myself. Shit! I should have taken her when I first saw her standing watching her father's dead body being lowered in the grave. That shit was arousing as hell.My attention snapped back to the man that has just bl
The next thing I knew Scott hovered over me and look directly into my eyes. His weight pressed me into the couch. "You know I'm beginning to suspect if you are as innocent as you claim to be""Wh-what do you mean?" I asked as I turned my face to the side not looking him in the eyes.Then I felt something, it was his warm, rough hand skimming under my dress and working its way up the inside of my thighs. I closed my legs tightly as I felt his fingers kneading the skin on the inside of my thigh.I whimpered and struggled underneath him, whatever he was doing. It was wrong, so very wrong.He leaned in, and in... unless his nose was touching my cheek. He laughed against my skin and I closed my eyes, I don't know if I was afraid or having a heart attack or I was about to die but this all made me want to cry."You're gonna get me killed, you fucking temptation"And then the weight lifted off of me and bright lights fell on my eyelids again. I opened them and saw Scott standing by the couch,
