I could feel his eyes on me but I refused to acknowledge it. From the table, he had been looking at me. Garret’s words no longer amused me. I was breaking under the weight of my thoughts. “You are tense” someone suddenly said from behind me and I turned to see Brayan. As usual, he had no expression on his face. “What do you care?” I said turning away. I heard a scoff and his footsteps walking away. I sighed heavily.My family was in danger if I fucked this up. I retired to the room early. I lay in bed awake for a long time just thinking of what could happen. I wanted to go back to my fiancé but I couldn’t risk my family’s life.I would have to try and do all I can to make this mating work. And when the time came, Nevaeh will take over her life.Sunday’s hit my face and I opened my eyes. I groaned. I must have slept off while thinking. I rolled over hitting something hard and warm. It was a body. Who was in bed with me?I screamed and jumped away almost falling of the bed but strong
The dress was the first thing I saw when I enter red the room. It was laying on the bed and I stared in awe. The silver dress was sparkling. It was so beautiful. My friends would absolutely love the dress.I frowned in sadness. I missed my life and friends. I had to be strong. I entered the bathroom and got myself ready. Once I stepped out of the bathroom in a robe, there was a knock on the door. Rivka came in with a beautiful woman. “She’ll be doing your hair and make up” Rivka explained before excusing herself.The woman got to work. After a long hour or two, she was finally done with both the hair and the make up. When I looked in the mirror, I gasped.She would be a popular in my town. Her work was exceptionally beautiful. I thanked her and she left the room.I changed into my dress and I was even more amazed. I looked like an angel. When I got back home, I would definitely get a dress like this. Edel would love it.After I was done, I stepped out of the room. The house was sile
Last night was the first night spent in peace. There was no glaring from any side and he apologized again for Naomi's behavior. I had a lot to say about that child but I bit my tongue. She was special to me and he'll probably get upset if I said anything. It'll probably be the last time I'll see the girl.We both agreed to sleep on the bed as the couch was no good for us. I made a pillow boundary between us as we slept. Although when I woke up, I was on his side of the bed. I must have rolled to his side.He was not in the room when I woke up. I took a shower and wore pants and a tank top before going downstairs. It was hot today. Winry was the only one at the table. "Hello" I said cheerfully."Paisley" she shouted with a mouthful of bread.Rivka came in with a tray of my breakfast and left us."It's almost like we never see each other except at the table""Right. You're never at home""It gets really boring so I like to spend time with my friends""Are you going anywhere today?""
"It's in two days" she said happily."Two days?" It was too soon. But I couldn't say anything to her. I didn't want to complain. What if Silas heard of it. He would hurt Coulter. I couldn't let that happen."Yes. You really don't need to do anything. The women will explain the ritual to you"I nodded. I just needed some space to process my thought."I'll go to my room now" I said to Elowen and she smiled."I'll see you later Winry" "Okay" she said in a low voice. I could feel her eyes on me but she didn't say another word. I hurried out of the living room and up the stairs. The moment I was behind close doors, I called my mother. "Hello" she said after she picked the cal. She sounded tired."Mama""Paisley? Oh goodness. How are you my baby?""I'm okay. How are you mama"She sighed and I could tell something was definitely wrong."Talk to me mama""I can't find your sister. I've searched everywhere and it just seems like..... like she vanished from the earth"I sighed. This was not
I feel breathless by the time he pulls away from the kiss and moves lower. I feel his breath on my neck, then his lips caressing the skin between my neck and ear. I lean further into him, my head still tilted so he can continue to kiss my neck.The feeling was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I wanted it to last forever. A shiver runs through my body when I feel his tongue on my skin. My hand moves to his shoulder, trying to hold myself up. He continues peppering kisses along my neck and while I liked it, I wanted to feel his lips on mine again. My hand finds the back of his neck and pulls his lips to mine. He paused for an instant and looked me. I could see the desire raging in his eyes. It was like a blazing inferno that I wanted to consume me while until nothing was left of me. The need I have for him to kiss me. He seemed to read my mind because he smiled and leaned in to grant my silent wish. My lips part as my breath is taken away. I return his kiss and feel his tongue i
There were no words between us as he tied the cloth around our wrists again. The tension between us was thick and I prayed that the women would call us out. They didn't. Not for a long time and we had to sit together while acting like what happened few minutes ago didn't happen. A few times, I had a feeling he wanted to say something but he never did.Finally, after what felt like ten hours, they opened the door. Brayan and I stepped out with the binds on our wrists and they cheered."You have completed the second ritual successfully" Gwyneth smiled at us. Ramona came over and loosened the bond. She held it up and the others clapped. Elowen came over to me and hugged me."Congratulations" she smiled at me."Congratulations" she turned to Brayan but he walked off without saying a word to her."Brayan" she called after him but he ignored her. He was probably still upset. Either because I stopped things from going any further or because it happened at all. I wasn't sure.Dryden and Nou
I pulled on my pants and fastened the hooks of my small top. The family was gathered downstairs and I was going to join them. Winry said they were having game night. It sounded fun and I wanted to take part. Maybe it’ll take my mind off things for short while. It’s sad my family will never be able to have this ever. There were too many lies and betrayals for me to act like things were as they used to be.I walked slowly down the stairs, making little noise. I heard a loud growl and the sound of something crashing.I paused and listened closely. “You always take part in this” I heard Elowen’s frustrated voice and I guessed who she was talking to. It was Brayan. He was the only one who made her like this.“I don’t want to anymore” Brayan said in a hard voice.“Tell me why. You want to throw away a family tradition because you’re having mood swings?”“It’s not fucking mood swings. I have a lot of things to do” he said in a clipped tone.“Is this because of Paisley?”There was no respon
I was sitting in the guest room with Elowen as Brayan tucked Naomi into bed. Her tears had finally died down and she explained why she came here injured. Elowen washed her up and Brayan tucked her into bed.I could tell he was fuming but he was trying to remain calm and gentle with the little girl but with the story she told, I knew he was fuming.He finally stood up from the bed to leave but she caught his wrist."Don't go. Please""I have to Naomi. I need to get to the bottom of this" he said harshly and I heard her sniffles."I don't want to be alone" she cried."You're not alone sweetheart. Paisley and I will be here with you while Brayan takes care of everything" she looked at me and back to Elowen before nodding.With one last kiss on her forehead, he left the room. Naomi pulled the covers tightly around herself. The room was silent as we waited for her to fall asleep. Elowen checked her breathing."She's asleep" she whispered and nodded towards the door. I stood up silently and
I splashed some water on my face and washed the putrid taste from my mouth. I had been throwing up non stop and I had a feeling I was with child.I had the feeling since we ended our honeymoon over a month ago but with the stress of the ball and everything I laid it no mind plus I wasn't having symptoms.I had not mentioned it to anyone. Not Brayan or Elowen or Winry or even Nevaeh.Yes. We had been working on our relationship and even though things would never be like they used to, we were still close."Paisley" someone shouted my name from the back and I jumped in fright.“What the fuck Winry. You scared me”“Sorry” she giggled.“What’s up?”“I want to tell you something. But away from prying ears”“What’s that” she didn’t reply and pulled me along until we entered her room and she closed the door behind her.“What’s up” I asked again.“Remember when you kept asking me if I had a boyfriend?” She looked at the door again.“Yes. You said you don’t have any”“I lied”“Yes. I knew it” I
Brayan successfully made us some pasta and I was lounging in his arms when we heard a car outside.“Have they come to pick up the work?”“No. They aren’t supposed to until I call for them and I haven’t” he climbed out of bed and looked through the window blinds.“Stay here. I’ll check who it is”I obviously wasn’t going to stay. The moment he was out of sight, I climbed down too and followed him outside. From the distance, i could see him talking to Gannon and he kept looking over his shoulder.I moved closer and I heard a deep sigh.“I thought I told you to stay indoors” He already knew I was here. No need for hiding. I came out and stood by his side while Gannon smiled widely.“Is something wrong?” He shifted his gaze to Brayan before answering me.“There is a small issue back at the house that needs your attention and aunt Elowen asked me to get you”I frowned. What issue could possibly need my attention.“It’s not important and Gannon will return and tell them you are available s
My body writhed in pleasure as I opened my eyes. The pleasant feeling between my legs causing me to moan loudly. My fingers moved instantly to his hair and I clenched it tightly.My orgasm wasn’t far away and I was going to explode soon. His tongue worked harder and I kept his head in place with a strong grip.Just when I was about to cross through to explode, he pulled away and grinned at me. I stared at him confused.“Why did you stop?” I asked breathlessly.“The only time you’ll be coming will be around my dick”With that he sunk deeply into me and I gasped. He pushed my legs up and grabbed them tightly as he thrust roughly into me with an urgency. I could barely hold on as he fucked me and soon enough, I was tightening around him and bursting into a toe curling orgasm.He continued with a few hard thrusts until he exploded too his seed shooting deep into me and triggering another orgasm from me. He collapsed onto me, his weight slightly crushing me as we both tried to catch our br
We removed each other's clothes as he carried me through the door and i clung onto him tightly his bare chest against my breasts. He carried me to the bedroom and dropped me gently on the bed, climbing over me. His kisses left my mouth and moved downwards to my neck and to my breast. He continued his adoration of my body planting several kisses on each of my breasts, taking a moment to admire my body. His tongue moved to my mark and I moaned loudly.The mark intensified my emotions and made me even hornier than I already was.He moved slowly down my body, leaving kisses on my stomach and my hip bone. I spread my legs wider to grant him access to ravishing me. He didn't disappoint, his tongue already working it's magic.I played with myself while he pleasures me and it didn't take long for me to come on his face. He licked me until my orgasm ended and I became sensitive. He climbed over me again and kissed me. I could taste myself on his lips and I kissed him even harder. I rolled h
Like we both wanted, the final ritual was held early. Not as early as both of us would like but two days later. I was dressed in a new blue dress. It wasn’t as simple as the first one I had chosen but it was equally as beautiful. I was seating in the room waiting for Elowen to come and get me like the last time. I wasn’t nervous just excited and eager to get this over with.The door opened and I looked up. Brayan hurriedly enters the room and shut the door behind him.“What are you doing here?” I shouted.“I had to see you before we started”“It’s not allowed. It’s bad luck” he rolled his eyes.“No bad luck. You look very beautiful”I blushed. “Thank you”“I wish we didn’t have to go through this first. I want to snatch you away and ravish you”“But you can’t” I heard voices.“You have to go now”“Give me a kiss first”“Brayan” I complained looking at the door and fearing someone would come in.“I’ll just make myself comfortable until you kiss me”“Fine” I grabbed his face and kisse
The flight back was very long and tiresome since we were a good distance away from our town. I was anxious but excited to see him.He didn't know that his mum and sister had come for me. Winry had admitted a few times that she heard him cry in his office though I doubted it. Brayan didn't look like one who would cry.I wasn't moving on like I had thought. Brayan was my whole world and if the only thing holding him back has been taken care of, there was nothing keeping us apart.Our plane landed and Garret picked us up at the airport. He had a wide smile on his face and sent me a wink through the rear view mirror. He finally parked in the driveway and we got down. Dakarai was waiting outside and he had a blank look on his face. The jitters returned. What if he hasn't forgiven me."Welcome child" he smiled widely and spread his arms. I rant to him and hugged him tightly. I missed them so much and I was glad to be back."Where is he?" Elowen asked."In his study" Dakarai said and slipp
The large cap covering my face from the sun was flicked off and I frowned at Kamiko.“You’re spoiling my relaxation”She scoffed. “You’ve been like that for too long. I was thinking your mind has wandered somewhere”“It hasn’t and it’ll not” I wanted to put the cap over my face but she stopped me.“Let’s do something fun tonight”“Okay. We can watch a movie” I wanted to put the cap back again but she stopped me. I groaned in frustration. I was trying to enjoy some alone time but she was making it difficult.“No. Not a movie. Let’s go out. Maybe for drinks or to a club”“No” I wasn’t even considering the idea. I had no intention of going anywhere.“But why?”“I don’t want to Kamiko. Please let me be” I finally put the cap back in place over my head.“I won’t let you be” she snatched it off and I growled at her.“You didn’t drag me from out town and make me abandon my work just to sit indoors everyday. I’m losing my damn mind” she complained.It was true that we’ve been indoors since we
BRAYAN’s POV My head would not stop throbbing and I was having a hard time focusing. The bed was empty and Paisley’s scent was not strong here. My heart clenched when I considered the possibility that she could be gone. She wouldn’t do that. The last four days had been perfect for us.But you kept reminding her that you cannot be together. My wolf whispered in my ear.I grunted. It was the honest truth. So many times I had come close to marking her in the past few days but I fought the urge each time.It was against custom to mark her outside the mating ritual and we would never get to that if the blood bond is not completed.I wasn’t expecting to see her here when I came out here. With the mating season so close, my wolf was restless and it just wanted to rut. I didn’t want to get into a sticky situation by accidentally fucking any of the inmates women in the pack that was why I decided to come out to the cabin. Seeing her here was enough to send my wolf crazy. I tried to fight it
I was surprised to see a familiar car parked in the same spot as it was earlier today. Garret was leaning on the car and waved me over.“I thought you left” I said once the distance between us was covered. Yes but I figured you’ll be needing a ride back so I returned”“Thank you” I had not even thought about how I would return once I was done here.“Let’s go” we both entered the car and he started the drive. “Are you okay?” He asked again.“I’m fine. Here take this” I pulled out the folded paper from the inner pocket of my cloth and handed it over to him.“Please give this to him”“I will” he dropped me off at Kamiko’s place and drove off. “Paisley!! You gave me a scare” she screamed the moment she saw me.“I’m sorry. I just had to take sometime off to clear my head”“Sometime off? You had me worried. Your family was going crazy searching for you. They thought something happened to you”I scoffed. “I have no family”“What has gotten into you Paisley? You were getting better. You fo
