Chapter Twenty Six

I woke up with a start gasping as my right arm protested from having slept on it. I had no idea how I managed to fall asleep on the floor of the woods or for how long I had slept but judging from the inky sky and twinkling stars and the bright moon I'd say it's been awhile.

The moon… the ball… werewolves…

Panic caught in my throat as the realization dawned on me that I shouldn't be anywhere near the woods tonight, Cherry had been meticulous.

"Shit."

Has anyone realise I'm not in my room yet?

I debated staying put where I was or finding my way back to the mansion and risk being torn limb by limb by a moon crazed wolf.

I shivered involuntarily. "Yeah no, there's no way I'm freezing my ass out here." I said to myself.

Several howls rose up into the night sky and swelled, permeating every corner of the woods.

"Shit! shit! shit!" My heart was racing fast. I must get out of here. I realised I didn't have my phone with me so I couldn't call for help. What rotten luck.

    Chapter Twenty Seven I buried my face in his chest as we walked through the throng of werewolves. I didn't strain my ears to hear what they were whispering about me. When we were finally out of ear shot I pulled back and said, "you can put me down now I can walk perfectly fine.""Be quiet."A retort was just at the tip of my tongue but I held back, it was pointless to fight with him anyway and so I gave up.

I asked as he took my arm to examine the claw scratches. "It's closer and you were heavy. Now wipe that snort off your face you look ugly."I snatched my arm away glaring at him.

It's good that he made her see the real him hopefully this time she'd stay away for good, the mating bond don't mean anything to him until he accepts it and Tristan refused to accept it.

  • The Billionaire Alpha's Unexpected Mate (Billionaire Alphas.   Prologue

    Warning! this book contains mature content and is going to be steamier than my other books. young readers are advised. Prologue Kyra Sinclair knew she was dreaming when she saw the familiar deserted dirt road. And then there was the mangled car flipped upside down on the side of the road. she saw herself all bloody, slowly regaining consciousness and was vaguely aware of her mom on the driver's seat not moving at all. The pain was too familiar, too raw, too brutal and the metallic smell of blood filling her nostrils made her gag. Kyra wondered how long they must've been like that; minutes or hours there was no way to tell, she was in so much pain that she could barely move and her voice seemed to have betrayed her and all Kyra could do was pray earnestly. It took forever before help came. Kyra was pulled out from the wreck by a wolf who then turned into a tall and muscular man–a werewolf. Kyra awoke in bed sweating buckets and breathing hard. Her head was poun

    Chapter One "Hey loser!" I turned to find my best friend May before she siddled next to me. "Right back at ya!" I said rolling my eyes. "Hey Kyra!" My other best friend Liam called catching up to us. "Hey Liam." I smiled at him. "So what's up?" May asked. "You know the usual." "Why don't you just report him to the feds?" "You know I can't, he's got my mom's savings for college over my head." "Screw him!" "How are you sure he hasn't already gambled away the money?" Liam put in. "He assured me it's still intact as long I behave. Maybe he's got genuine feelings for my mom if he's willing to respect her dying wish."May made a a disapproving sound in her throat while Liam looked like he found the idea preposterous. I have no faith in Gary whatsoever but my choices are pretty limited right now. "Ah! Right, before I forget Cara's having a pool party later tonight and she's invited us." May announced. "C

    Chapter TwoThe day past by with no incident so far which was a small blessing. After I closed from the diner I hurried home to get ready for Cara’s party hopefully i’d be gone before Gary comes back home no doubt drunk and filthy as a pig, I’ve got no time to deal with his mess. I let myself into the house and it was dead silent.Great.I breathe a sigh of relief as I went upstairs to my bedroom. That relief was cut short as i stopped dead in my tracks noticing my bedroom door ajar. I don't recall leaving it like that when I left this morning. My heart began to pound in apprehension as different scenarios began playing in my head until I felt light headed. A little voice at the back of my head warned me not to go close, it warned me to stay away, turn back and run but I dismissed it as simply paranoia on my part. Steeling myself, I went forward and pushed the door open all the way. To my surprise Gary was there.I looked from his face to the wads of money he had in his hands to the

    Chapter Twenty FiveI hate you.Tristan snapped the buttons on his shirt and threw it into the hamper.I hate you.The full moon's starting tonight he should ask Isaac how that's coming along.I hate you.He snapped finally and punched a hole in the wall with his fist. Tristan was trying so hard to distract himself from her hurtful words and his awful behaviour but it just kept coming.It's for the best at least with her new found hatred she won't come close to him anymore. This is what's best for the both of them."Are you ready to finally meet your mate, tonight might be it?""Or you could find yours.""I'm not in a hurry." Isaac said. " You on the other hand…" Tristan's glare made him hold his tongue. The issue about his mate was a very touchy subject, one they rarely broached. What if he actually finds his mate at the moon ball tonight then what? Would his attraction towards Kyra be nothing but a distant memory to eventually fade away? Tristan did not believe in this whole mate

    Chapter Twenty FourHis eyes completely changed into a stormy rage I'd never seen before and before I could get away he moved towards me in a single stride grabbing my shoulders and shoving me up against the wall pinning me there. "you think this is a game?" He thundered in my face. "you have no idea what you're getting yourself into Kitten. I am no ordinary man and believe me when I say that you won't begin to imagine the things I plan to do to do to you. you call that walk in park making out?" He laughed crazily. "you're in for a surprise Kitten. Once I've had a taste of you there's no going back I'm gonna want more and more until you're senseless and raw from my ministrations." He brushed a tendril of hair from my face. Every word of his dripping with venom only made my knees tremble and my core clench in arousal as my imaginations ran wild. I whimpered not because of the iron grip he had on my wrists."I could have you bent over this desk and it'll be over in a second or I could

    Chapter Twenty ThreeI cried a little more the day after and the next. The days blurred together and I had no idea how long I spent in my misery it didn't help that in all those days Tristan was no where to be seen that I began to think he was a mere figment of my imagination. Josh and Cherry kept me company but they still refused to take me to the pond, we went shopping for clothes where they told me to pick whatever I want, how they got the money was beyond me but I had a wild guess it came from Tristan I just didn't dwell on it for too long I eventually got sick of wallowing in self pity and how pathetic it made me look. If he wants to be with Rowena fine I won't force myself on him. I didn't see Tristan for four days and on the fifth he appeared like an apparition seemingly out of nowhere. Out of all days I let myself wander into his office, the heavy scent of his cologne still lingered and I enjoyed it too much that I told myself I'd only stay five minutes so I sat myself down
