The day of the mating ritual finally came. I was nervous as hell and tense. I spent the night alone in our bedroom because I wasn’t allowed to see Brayan until the time of the final ritual.Everyone was busy doing one thing or the other while I was sitting pretty and waiting patiently for the women to come for me.“Are you seriously not going to look in the mirror?” Nouria asked. I shook my head.“You’re strange” I chuckled. I didn’t have any reason for not wanting to look in the mirror and see how I was dressed. I just didn’t want to. “I’m so happy the day has finally come. It has been an eventful month” Winry said and we all chuckled.True. A very eventful month. When I first came here, I always thought I would leave. I didn’t want this. But now, I’m so sure I wouldn’t walk away from this.I couldn’t imagine being away from Brayan ever. It would tear me apart.There was a knock on the door and Elowen popped her head in.“You look beautiful honey” she said entering the room fully.“
I walked slowly through the center of the guests to meet with Brayan. He had a charming smile on and I smiled in return. He held his hands out for me and I took it. We were now standing beside each other and the crowd cheered.“You look beautiful” he whispered in my ears and I blushed.“You look handsome too” I returned the compliment. Gwyneth moved towards us and the other women followed. They each had small clay plates in their hands. The guests went silent. The final ritual was about to start. The women moved silently around us, holding the plates to their chests. They hummed a traditional tune and we just stood still. “Hold both hands” Gwyneth commanded and he took both of my hands. We were facing each other, his eyes still looking down at me.The humming continues until I started to feel strange.The women stopped and in a single file, they walked over to his family, handing each of them a clay pot. His family came in a single line too, and repeated the same thing the women h
“Nevaeh” I muttered under my breath, shocked as hell. What was she doing here? Why did she show up? Why was she here?I stormed towards her, filled with anger. I jerked her arm roughly to lead her away from everybody.“What the fuck are you doing here” I asked angrily trying to pull her away but she wouldn’t budge. She ripped her arms out of my grip.“To tell the truth”“The truth?” I looked at her like she had gone insane. No. She was fucking insane.“I want to right my wrongs Paisley”“I didn’t fucking ask you to. Go away Nevaeh. I’m fine and happy here” “What’s going on?” Elowen asked from behind me.“Nothing. She’s leaving” I said quickly.“I’m not. I want to say the truth” I glared at her but she pushed past me and went to meet Elowen.“I’m Nevaeh. Elowen’s twin sister” she held out her hands. Elowen cast a glance at me before taking her hands.“Nice to meet you. You’re a spitting image of your sister”“Thank you” Nevaeh said in a clipped tone.“Let’s go Nevaeh” i tugged her arm
I felt numb. I had not changed out of my dress since yesterday or moved an inch from my bed since I entered my room.The tears had stopped and I did nothing but think. Think about everything that I have lost. "Paisley" I heard my mothers voice from the other side of the door.She had come to the door over a hundred times since I locked myself in begging me to open the door but I didn't respond. It was all their fault. They must have something against me. For a month I begged. Pleaded with them to find Nevaeh. Nothing was done. She refused to show up.Just when I had fallen in love and accepted everything. When I was about to celebrate my happiest moments, just when I told them that I loved Brayan. They found a way to ruin it for me. Why?"Paisley please just open the door for me" my mother pleaded. She sounded like she was crying but I didn't give a fuck. I turned over to the other side and covered my ears with my pillow. I eventually slept off.My full bladder woke me up and forced
I didn’t know when I slept off but I woke up to a pounding on my door. I pulled the pillow over my head to block out the sound but it only continued. My bladder was also full and it was pushing me to relieve it but I ignored it. “Paisley. It’s me Kamiko. Please open the door I need to see you” Kamiko? Why was she here?“Paisley” she called again and I sighed. Mama must have called her to come and get me out of my room knowing her insistent nature. She knocked again and I rolled out of bed and went into the bathroom to relieve myself. I didn’t bother to wash my face even though I knew I looked like shit. She was still pounding the doors when I came out and I opened the door for her. She quickly engulfed me in a tight hug.“Goodness Paisley. I’ve missed you so much. I didn’t know what was happening until today” I could hear the pity in her voice and I hated it. I sighed and pulled away from her. “I didn’t get a chance to tell you. It happened quickly”“This is so unbelievable. How
For the next two weeks, I started to feel better. Eating was still a problem for me mostly because I couldn’t keep anything down. Kamiko had lived up to the true definition of a best friend and sister. Coming here was the best decision ever. I looked at my phone in my hand. Still no messages.I sent more messages and tried calling severally but he wasn’t picking my calls. I even went as far as sending messages to Winry, Marisol and Nouria. I didn’t get any response either.I was lounging on the living room couch when the door opened. “Kamiko…”“Not Kamiko” I sat up quickly and looked at Nevaeh. “What are you doing here?” My voice came out harsh and I didn’t feel regret when I saw her hurt look.“I wanted to talk to you”“I don’t want to” I stood up from the couch to go inside. Hopefully she’ll leave soon.“Please Paisley. I hate that we are like this. I’ve tried to give you space and understand why you’re treating us like this but I don’t get it. I want things to go back to how the
“Brayan” I mumbled in disbelief. He was here. He was standing in front of me. It felt surreal. I hurried over to him and touched him just to be sure that he was really here. Tears clouded my vision. “Why did you have your hands on her” he moved towards Edel.“She’s my fiancée. I have the right to hold her” Edel said in a cocky manner and Brayan snarled at him. I saw fear flash in his eyes and I stepped between them.“Leave now” Brayan commanded.“Paisley..” Edel started but I cut him off.“Please Edel. Just leave” he looked hurt but he nodded and left the house.I faced Brayan who was already looking at me. He looked so beautiful even with his over grown beard and hardened jaw. His hair was styled sleekly and I wanted to run my fingers through the strands.“You came” I smiled even though my heart was beating in my chest. It was the only thing that made its way through my lips even though I had a million things to say to you.“I needed to see you”“I missed you” I said softly and his
BRAYAN’s POVI was tempted to turn around and go back into the house. Take her into my arms and tell her we could be together five ever but that was impossible.The blood bond was destroyed and if my family was still unaccepting of her, we would never complete that ritual and be together forever.Her sister and friend eyed me as I left the house and entered the car. There was something strange about her sister. Her scent was off.I drove away before my wolf would take over and force me to go back inside and mark her as mine. The desire to do that has been so strong and it was what eventually forced me here.I had seen all of her messages and the ones she sent to Winry. My mother had forbidden me from seeing her but that wasn’t the reason I stayed away.Everyone was upset with her because she pretended but I was upset because I’m just finding out she had a fiancé and had plans to leave me. My wolf felt hurt and betrayed.Seeing him here today did nothing but aggravate me. My wolf wante
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
