Gina’s POVSomething was seriously wrong with me.After the night incident with Devyn, and I had slept comfortably and peacefully in the solace of my bed and not the cold ground, I had woken up with a consuming restlessness. My body felt like it was on fire, heightened senses jolting through me, and my hormones were all over the place.In other words, I was horny as shit.Maybe it was my ovulation period but I wasn't even sure that was the case anymore. It’s not like it was unusual for me to feel this way, but this time was completely different. My body pulsed with fiery desire, and my mind brimmed with an array of naughty thoughts.I had never felt that way before in my entire life.I managed to prepare for training and when I got to the venue, I was relieved to see Wilona was back. Another part of me wasn't because that meant I wasn't going to be doing a lot of hard training.The training session went badly because it was obvious that my focus wavered, and the intensity of the sen
I gripped my towel tighter to my body like it would fall if I left it.Which it would.“What are you doing here?” I said, the shock in my voice evident. His lingering gaze traveled down to my body, igniting a sensation that made my core ache more than it thought it could. “Your moans could be heard all over the house.”My cheeks burned, as a strong wave of embarrassment washed over me, and suddenly I wished the ground would just swallow me up and spit me into an active volcano.So I had been that loud.“I-I’m fine,” I croaked out, my voice giving me away, “You can leave now; I'm not clothed.”His eyes narrowed into slits, “I’ll leave when I want. It's my house.”I felt anger surge through me. So he had no plans of leaving even though I was practically naked.Just when I thought he couldn’t be more of a jerk, he proved me wrong.“You’re nothing close to being a gentleman,” I bit out and I watched his eyes darken. I took in the sight of him and I felt desire twirl within me.Why did
Devyn’s POVThe meeting was scheduled to happen in a few minutes at the Auditorium, where Alphas, accompanied by their Betas, would come together to discuss the political issues related to the Sacred Wolf.As much as I didn't want to agree to it, Gina would have to attend the meeting and that meant exposing her to potential enemies. It would be the first time outsiders would see her and I wasn't stupid to not think chances will be made to snatch her away, so I was fully prepared. I dressed in a well-tailored suit, adjusting my tie. While a casual attire would have been better and more comfortable for me, the meeting demanded a polished refined appearance.I sent a telepathic message to Wilona, who was in the room with Gina.‘Is everything sorted out, can we commence?’‘We’re going to be a bit late, we’ll meet you there’I scoffed— Women and always taking all the time in the world to look good. I hadn't seen Gina since the day I fucked her with my hand, and I concluded that she was av
GINA’S POV I thought I could get used to the penetrating stares as I walked into the hall, but the intensity of every gaze fixed on me was overwhelming. their gazes burning. It was stifling, and I resisted the urge to lower my gaze to the ground. But I felt I had to look confident at least. in me not to look at the ground.Sensing my unease, Wilona held my arm in support. “It’s okay, don’t look them in the eye,” she whispered and I nodded. Devyn stood at the podium ahead of us, his cold eyes watching me, scrutinizing my every step. He looked handsome in his expensive-looking suit as he exuded a commanding presence. Memories of our last encounter resurfaced, and a blush crept across my cheeks as I averted my gaze.I was no longer on heat—thank God for that—but the memory of us was still glued to my thoughts.The audience rose from their seats, chattering amongst themselves, their hushed conversations not concealing the fact that every word reached my ears.‘She’s an exquisite woman.
DEVYN’S POVA bad feeling churned in my gut, heightening my senses.Something was amiss.Instinctively, I scanned the hall for any sign of Gina but there was no sign of her. She hadn’t come out of the restroom since she got in. She didn’t look happy when she saw me— well, she never did— but it had something to do with what Damien told her.I was doing everything to not barge into the ladies’ restroom and find her myself.I mind-linked Wilona.‘Is Gina with you?’‘No, she isn’t. I thought she was with you.’I swore under my breath.‘If she wasn’t with me I wouldn’t have asked. Check the restroom’‘I’ll check’I waited impatiently, my hands fidgeting in the pocket of my pants as I tried to keep calm. It wasn’t noticeable but I fidgeted whenever I was anxious, a mannerism I had developed since I was a child.Everyone in the room went about that business, chattering and drinking as their voices filled the room. Everything about it ticked me off.Wilona appeared in front of me with Liam,
GINA’S POVThe woman who knelt in front of me was my mother. After feeling like I had lost her, I was happy to find her again. Her beauty was accentuated by a radiant white light as she gently cradled her pregnant stomach.Determination coursed through me as I reached out to touch her with outstretched hands. To my surprise, I was able to place my hand on her shoulders.But something wasn't right. Touching her should have given a sense of solace but what I got was the opposite. Her touch seared my skin with an intense heat. Desperation welled up as I cried out, trying to pull back as a burning agony streamed through me, but my hand couldn't come off. It felt like it was glued to her skin.The White light that surrounded her began to wane, succumbing to an ominous darkness that enveloped us both. I could still see perfectly in the darkness as she raised her head, revealing eyes that glowed an unsettling crimson color. A feral snarl escaped from her lips as she revealed razor sharp tee
I wasn’t too gloomy the next day, but my mind was still clouded with concerns and constant worrying. Wilona had suggested I scrap training today to get some rest, but I declined. She was surprised at my determination to work.I even surprised myself. I hadn’t seen Devyn since the meeting and I could he hadn't been in the house too because I would’ve felt his presence—as crazy as that sounded. I figured it was because he had marked me that I was able to feel this way. I didn't like it though, but It’s not like I could make the feeling go away.Liam was glad to see me in training today. He had been worried about me but I assured him I was doing fine. He apologized too for the kidnap, but I assured him that it wasn't his fault. He had tried to stick by my side through out the meeting that day but I didn't let him. I was only taken away because of my carelessness.Training was less difficult than it was because this time, I actually put my whole mind and body into it. Liam had tried to
I woke up to my muscles aching even more than I thought they could and rising from the bed proved challenging, but my hunger fueled my determination. After I was all freshened, I stepped out of my room, greeted by the enticing scent of chicken wafting through the air. Having Lucia around was truly an underrated blessing.I breathed it in the scent like it was fresh air and my stomach grumbled loudly. Devyn was somwhere in the house — I could feel his presence, and I felt my heart flutter at the thought of him.I hadn’t seen him since I was kidnapped, and as absurd as it sounded, I missed his presence.Pushing back the thoughts of him at the back my mind, I set forth on my mission to get some food in my stomach. As I made my way downstairs, the familiar voices of Wilona and Liam could be heard as they were discussing. Their conversation sounded heated, piquing my curiosity and I suddenly got the urge to eavesdrop. I tiptoed down the stairs, their voices getting clearer the closer I
