Stella's POV.I woke up gasping for air, my heart beating so fast that it felt like it was about to leap out of my chest. I was sweating profusely, my body drenched in a layer of sweat that made my sheets cling to me like a second skin. What just happened? Was that real? Or was it just another dream? I looked around my room, taking in the familiar surroundings of my new home. Everything seemed normal, except for the throbbing sensation between my legs.I sat up in bed, still trying to catch my breath and clear my head. The dream felt so real, so intense, making it so hard to shake off the feeling that it was more than just a figment of my imagination. In the dream, I was in the arms of a man I had never met before, but I felt so safe with him like I had known him my whole life. We were in a room, with dimmed lights and candles flickering in the background. His lips was on mine and he was kissing me passionately, his lips moving in perfect sync with mine as if we had been practicing f
Alexander's POV.“Oh please, grandmother. I am perfectly alright with my life now. I don't need the meddling and there is no way she is out there, it's been years” It's becoming more annoying now that my only family, my grandmother would not stop talking to me about finding my fucking mate. “It's your twenty-ninth birthday and another year without your mate. How can you strengthen your alpha blood if you don't have a mate bond? I know you are unbothered, but I would like to carry your pup” She said, placing her glasses on the rim of her nose. “I have a girl for that. When I am ready, you will carry your grand kids” I said and got up, I was not ready for her tantrums. “I have some meetings to get to,” I made my way toward the door. “Rick will stay with you today, I know you feel safe around him”She looked away, not before throwing me a nasty glare."There you go again Mrs Calum"“But that gesture of yours does not mean I won't keep talking about your mate until you have found her
Stella’s POVNever have I felt so unwanted in my life by an imaginary lover, the disgust on his face was too much for me to handle. As much as I hoped that he was the same person as my dreams, it was better to leave with the questions on the tip of my mouth than be humiliated further. Celine was not sure if she should let me be by myself, but it will only make me as weak as the stranger had said.After promising to discuss it after work, she left to serve in her assigned VIP booth and I went to mine. I moved over to the bar to pick up the order I had placed earlier and proceeded to pick up the tray.“Good evening gentlemen, I'm here with your drinks,” I said with a big grin putting all my worries behind me. “You have your martini, chocolate-flavored vodka, and dry vermouth with a lot of ice” I looked up and I saw that they were staring at me with so much emphasis, that started to make me worry. So I moved quickly, wanting to be away from them as soon as possible. I placed the drin
Stella's POV.“Omg! Freya! Do you recognize that man?” Celine burst into my room just after we got home from work.“Oh no please Celine, I have to sleep. I'm meeting my employer for the second job at 5 pm. I just got the message on my phone. Please let me sleep” I murmured, throwing the blanket over my head.I still remembered how I had fainted last night, in front of that familiar stranger. I wanted to kick up my legs and scream out loud.It was so embarrassing. He rejected me since that was strange then I felt my heart almost jumping out of my chest.I hated that feeling! And I had no plan of ever reliving it or seeing that stranger.Then why do I feel tears surfacing?She pulled the blanket off my face and said “Oh wait, what do you mean your employer? You got the job without meeting them first? That is wonderful! No formal interview and you go the job”“Yes. Now please let me sleep” I covered my face again, satisfied that she got happily distracted. “No Freya, Listen. I have to t
STELLA'S POVI slammed the door behind me, my heart racing as I leaned against the wall. "What did I just watch?" I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat sinking into my stomach as I stared into space. "Stella, what's wrong with you?" I bit my lips inwardly. I had just watched Alexander having sex with his girlfriend, and for a moment, I had wished I was the one underneath him. A forbidden thought crept in, uninvited. My skin tingled at the imagined weight of his hands, his breath warm against my neck.I closed my eyes, and then a moan escaped my lips. My cheeks burned red and then I clenched my fist snapping myself into reality."Get yourself together, Stella," I warned inside my head. The next morning, sunlight flushed through the window, warming my face. I twirled in my bed with a moan. "When are you going to wake up, you lazy bone? Please don’t tell me all humans are this tiresome." Alexander's voice rang in my head, and my eyes snapped open. I scurried out of bed,
Alexander's POVThis human was really driving me insane. But nothing pissed me off more than her guts—the way she spoke to me without hesitation. It was probably because she didn’t know about my identity.Betas and Omegas in the wolf clans cowered at the mention of my name, but now, to think that this insignificant human had no respect for me was worse.She tried to act tough, but she’s nothing but a feeble human, and one snap from my claws would be enough to end her life.“Did you just threaten me?” I arched my brow as her words rang deeper inside my head, and then I tried my best to stifle a laugh.“You are nothing but a feeble human. What could you possibly do to me?”Stella’s expression remained rigid, and not a single waver crossed her face. I was pissed off, really bad, and a part of me wanted to feel bad about it.My fist balled against my thigh, holding hard. The plan was to frustrate her and turn this house into a living hell until she had no choice but to leave on her own.T
Stella's POV"What's going on in your mind, dear?" Grandma's words were accompanied by her soft touch, making me snap back to reality.My lips curled up into a smile so she wouldn’t get too worried about me."I'm fine, Grandma." My eyes darted over to the table, catching a glimpse of the food right in front of us.At her request, I had made sure to prepare a whole buffet, and from the look of things, she was enjoying herself."Grandma, I hope you like the food," I asked, tilting my head so I could carefully watch her expression.Grandma pursed her lips, and the smile on her face widened as it reached her ears."Of course." She gave a subtle nod and then scooped my hand into hers. "This is delicious."With that, she turned back to her plate, the chattering sound of the knife and fork scraping against the plate momentarily breaking the silence.My face was fixed on my food, trying to enjoy it, but I had no appetite that morning. I couldn't tell if it was because of that jerk Alexander o
Alexander's POVEver since I got back to my room, I had been restless. No matter how hard I closed my eyes, I just kept picturing her face at the back of my mind.I exhaled, running my hands over my hair."Hey, baby." I heard Lisa's voice echo from behind me.I spun around to meet her beautiful eyes."They are not as beautiful as our mate’s eyes."The faint smile that managed to cover my lips began to drop in an instant."Shut it." I groaned inside my head.Lisa’s body swayed gracefully, her pointed nipples practically glaring at me through her sexy lingerie.This was what I wanted—have fun and get lost in the aroma of sex, not get entangled with that human."Baby, what's wrong?" Lisa gave me a warm smile. Her slender hand wrapped around my neck, pulling her body against mine.The adrenaline shot up to my head as I grabbed her waist—rough, but also firm."It's nothing for you to worry about. I'm okay," I said calmly.Lisa gave a cute smile that made my cock jump inside my pants. I was
ALEXANDER'S POVI wanted her gone from my room, but I found myself wanting to tease her even more.For some reason, I was enjoying the effect I was having on her.The way her pink, sexy lips parted when I got close—it was almost like they were practically begging me to ravish them."Tonight, by midnight..." I chanted slowly.Her long lashes flickered, her chest heaved, and then she swallowed hard.By the moon, why was she so sexy?"You know you want her..." Rex cooed inside my head.My hands trembled slightly. All I wanted to do was tease her, but now it seemed like I was the one getting horny.Damn it, I should have just fucked Lisa first."You're not saying anything. Should I take this as a yes?" I said, leaning over her neck."Babe! Can you get me a towel? I think I left mine inside the wardrobe..." Lisa’s faint voice rang inside my head, and I jolted.Like a bolt of lightning, I regained my composure, making sure to put on my smug grin as I smirked."Sure thing, babe. Just hold on
