They bowed their heads to me, and I felt a little bad for scaring Tim because he was shivering so hard that it made me feel like he might have taken a shit in his pants."He deserved it," Tia chipped in, and I kept my lips set in a determined line. With a dramatic flair, I trudged out of the symposium. Adrenaline surged through my veins, and my heart galloped for joy. I didn't want to celebrate just yet until I was in the walls of my room. "My love," Vyn called, jogging after me. I stopped in my tracks, pivoting on the balls of my heels to face him. "You did great in there," he commended, and I offered him a tight-lipped smile. "I have a meeting with the patrol team, and then I have to go through some paperwork."I nodded. He palmed my cheek, giving it a wholesome caress before turning and disappearing down the hall. I rushed in the opposite direction, weaving my way to the wing, where my chamber was situated. Once I got into my room, I heaved a sigh of relief and grinned like
"It wouldn't bite. It can smell your fear, try to calm your tatas down," Tia said in my head, and a slight frown creased my brows. "Tatas?" I inquired, my hand still not anywhere close to the club's cage. "You've never heard that slang before? It means titties," Tia stated with a tinge of humour in her voice. "Now, chin up and feed it." Slowly, I extended my hand to the cage, and the cub stared intensely at me, still maintaining its lying position. The cub's eyes drifted to the meat in my hand, and slowly, it pushed itself up into a sitting position, wagging its tail. My heart I almost retracted my hand, but Tia beckoned, asking me to keep going. Slowly, it rose. My heart skipped a beat as I paused mid-action. "Calm down, he wouldn't hurt you," Tia's soft voice was like a warm caress around my heart. The cub meticulously moved closer, sniffing the meat before taking it from my hand. My anxiety dissolved, and an involuntary smile gripped the sides of my lips. "I
The last few days with Vyn had been exciting and eventful. We settled more disputes, and the head of my pack members paid me a visit to show appreciation for handling Tyris. Today, being Friday and the first day of the packfest, I was standing in my closet, eyes rummaging through my clothes. "Have you found something to wear yet?" I heard the maid, who had been assigned to specially tend to my needs, ask. "Not yet," I answered, tapping my chin in reasoning. "Why don't you leave the dress selection to me while you take your bath?" She suggested, and I turned to meet her brown orbs, glowing under the light bulb. "Okay, thank you, er..." I trailed off, trying to recall her name. "Zibah, short for Hephzibah," she bowed slightly.I nodded in acknowledgement and headed straight to the shower. I scrubbed quickly while rehearsing everything Tia had been teaching me for days. "Dear friends and esteemed customers," I muttered, scrubbing my underarms. "Esteemed allies," Tia corrected,
My breath caught in my throat, and I fastened my grip around Vyn's hand and Skye's leash. I glanced around, searching for the owner of the vaguely familiar scent."How is it possible for me to have another mate?" I questioned, thoughts reeling in my head. "The moon goddess has decided to bless you with two dicks," Tia joked in my head, and I clenched my jaw, pressing my lips together. "I'm not joking, Tia. This would be a disaster if it's true," I thought. Sensing my anxiety, Vyn caressed my fingers, silently offering comfort. The scent faded, and the lump in my throat was dislodged. Was it an imaginary scent conjured by my mind? I released my muscles, swallowing a big ball of saliva to calm my raging nerves. "She's finally back to her old self." I heard a voice from the crowd, and others followed suit, complimenting my gothic look. "She's so beautiful. I wish she would marry me," a man said, and I bit back a small smile. My heart fluttered like the delicate wings of a butter
"Ouu, would you look at that!" Tia exclaimed with excitement. "A sexy ass mate! Boy, are we blessed with the hottest men!"Tia jumped around in my head, thrilled to have met another mate, which was in total contrast of the turmoil I felt within me. No. How could the moon goddess make me cross paths with this bastard again? My pulse raced, and a sense of foreboding washed over me, sending shivers down my spine.His golden brown eyes whicj were formally filled with disgust and anger whenever he looked at me in the past, saying, "You're a disgrace, Zanna," was now staring at me with love. The memory of how he used derogatory words on me and treated me like shit opened my wounds, causing anxiety and sadness to eclipse my thoughts. Richard's pupils dilated, and he gazed deeply into mine as if to be entranced by my eyes or was it my beauty? Perhaps it was the mate bond. "So it is you?" He asked softly, and a warm expression flashed in his eyes. Hell. Fucking. No."Alpha Richard, it is s
Jayven's PoVAnger simmered underneath my skin like a boiling kettle. The shove to his chest made him stumble backwards, but he didn't release Tia–my Tia. I ticked. "The Alpha asked you to let go of her wrist, didn't she?" I snarled, my brows drawn. "Hey, who the hell are you to tell me what to do?" The man with the scent and aura of an Alpha fired back, his forehead scrunched into a deep frown. "Her mate, and her beta," I sneered, snatching Tia's wrist out of his hold. "How dare a measly Beta like you..." Richard paused, eyeing me with contempt from head to toe. "... talk to me in such a manner or even lay a finger on me?" "Guys..." Tia trailed off, holding my arm in a bid to pull me away from Richard. How dare he touch what belonged to me? My wolf became restless with anger that churned inside me like a turbulent sea. "It seems like you don't know your place as a beta," Richard snapped, and his eyes narrowed into crinkled slits, his face turning red from anger. I balled my
"But I didn't specifically ask for it to be brought by you," I said with severity in my voice. "I offered," she said, moving towards the bed and dropping the tray of drinks on the table beside me. Annoyance twisted inside my gut, knotting it. I propped myself up on my elbows, fusing my brows into a deep frown. "What's your name again?" I questioned. Her smile faltered, and hurt flashed in my eyes as she pressed her lips into a grim line. "You don't even remember my name after what we shared?" She arched her brows and then shrugged before blurting it out. "Lyra.""And what the hell do you want, Lyra?" I questioned, my jaw growing taut. "I heard you were in some kind of... distress," she dropped her leg and caressed her breasts, squeezing them in her palms. I eyed her, irritation pricking my skin at her flirtatious display. "So I thought you might need some company..." She drawled, placing one leg on the bed and slowly raising the dress, giving me a great view of her thighs and.
Zanna/Tia PoV"Vyn!" I called, trying to grasp his wrist, but he moved his hand away, causing me to catch the air. He stormed away, and I could perceive his anger oozing out of his skin. "Vyn," I called weakly, feeling my heart sink as I glanced over my shoulder, watching his retreating form. I rose, attempting to go after him, but Tia refrained me from doing so. "Zanna, just let him be for now. He should let all the steam out first before you approach him. He has quite a temper."I stopped moving, watching him with a writhing heart. "How bad is his temper?" "Bad enough for you to want to give him some space to cool off. And no, he has never hit me before," Tia explained, and I nodded as if she could see me. He exited the room, and a sigh of frustration slipped out of my lips. I turned on my heels and sat on the bench, my eyes on the painting directly opposite me. The painting was like a canvas of different colours. I looked closer, noticing something like a dark hole, which see
JAYVEN'S POVI caught myself in time before I ripped the papers from her hands. “Are the numbers the same?”“They are,” Tia responded, showing me the identical papers in her hands. I collected it, eyeing the numbers. “This takes us a step closer to getting the information we want.” Tia pointed at the paper in my hands.“I should call her-““No!” Tia stoppped me before I could grab my phone. “We need to be clear headed before we make that call and it’s late, I don’t know about you but I’m not at my best after the wonderful evening we had.”“As always my love, you’re so smart.” I placed a kiss on her forehead and pulled her into my arms. “Let’s get some rest but we’ll get all the information we need tomorrow, I promise you.”Tia sighed, holding on to me tightly. “I know we will, Vyn. We should go to bed. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a very long day.”“I be right back. I want to get the soup I had asked them to prepare before we left, it’s supposed to help for hangover.” I
Tia gently pushed my head. “Enough, I don’t have another orgasm to spare except you want to push me over the edge. I’m sure the moon goddess will be very happy to have me.”I growled, nipping her thigh. “No one can have you until I’m done with you, not even the moon goddess.”She chuckled, lifting up her head to look at me. “I can’t go again, but it’s my turn to satisfy you. I’ve been thinking of all the ways to please you, my love.”I moaned, pushing my hips into the bed. Tia wasn’t playing fair, “Don’t tease me, Tia. I don’t know if I can survive that.”“I have zero intentions of teasing you.” She pulled me up and flipped us over so she was on top of me. The sight made me groan, and I gripped her hips tightly, fighting for self-control.“I am this close to fucking your brains out Tia. Have mercy on me!”She leaned forward and captured my lips, moaning at the taste of herself as she licked my jaw clean of her juices. “I like it when you beg but you have to wait till I get down to bus
Jayven's PoVI studied her, watching lust and love glint in her beautiful orbs as she stared deep into my eyes. I could have sworn she could read my soul from how intenseful her gaze was. The moment Lyra closed the door after her, I could hear Skye protesting with numerous whines. When I could no longer hear Skye or her retreating footsteps or even perceive their scents, I was convinced they had left. "Are you sure about this?" I asked, raising a brow at her. Tia nodded desperately, and I could hear her pulse racing with none other than desperation. Her cheeks caught fire, and I could see them turning crimson. "Okay," I said, still feeling upset about Richard approaching her tonight. We were meant to start and end the night in happiness, but the sight of him irked my nerves. Why was he still chasing my mate when he had a pregnant wife?"Because he's a greedy man," my wolf responded, also agitated from the encounter. "To think he was indirectly calling you incompetent."My jaw gr
My pulse raced, and I dreaded the spinning to face to her. Fear gripped me, and I felt sick in my stomach. "Oh. Hi, honey." Richard's eyes softened, and he opened his arms, motioning for her to join him. She materialized beside him with her back turned against me. Richard wrapped his arms around her, and she melted into his embrace. I froze to a spot, watching Richard plaster a kiss on her forehead, asking her if everything was fine with her. I gritted my teeth, clenching my fists in annoyance. Richard never spoke, held, or acted this way with me when I was alive in my body. "Yes, I saw you from over the roof and figured you were in an argument," She said, now pulling away from his hug and tilting up her head to view his face. "Who is she? Is she a customer who got wronged?" I noticed she had gained some amount of weight as I studied her back. My eyes raced down her blue dress that stopped just above the back of her knees. Her legs were a lot bigger, and her feet were swollen. W
I dashed my foot against a stone, feeling the pain spiderweb its way up my toes. I groaned as I lost balance and almost fell forward, but Richard's calloused palm gripped her wrist while wrapping his free hand around my waist. My skin crawled with disgust and annoyance at the contact of a betrayal's skin against mine. My chest burned with anger, and I could also feel it simmering underneath my skin. "Get away from me!" I growled, palming his chest and pushing him away. "Alpha Tia," Richard called, and I could see hurt flashing in his eyes at my rejection. "It is me, Richard.""And so fucking what?" I asked, narrowing my eyes into slivers of contempt. "I don't give two shits about who you are."I held two wobbly fingers in the air, trying to stand straight as the intoxication messed up with me. "You're drunk. Let me take you back to the pack. Are you here alone?" Richard asked with concern laced in his tone. I shook my head vigorously, rejecting his help. "I don't need you or you
We headed straight to the entrance, and immediately, the scent of sweaty and horny humans swarmed into my nose. I wrinkled my nose when I perceived both negative and positive energy from them. The door was pulled open by a man I assumed was the security guard. Vyn dropped his hand from my waist and took the lead, interlocking fingers with me. The moment we stepped in, loud music hit me, filling my ears with rhythm and bass. The club was dimly lit with disco balls changing from one colour to the other. The smell of alcohol wafted into my nose, and a few people glanced our way. We walked past the dance floor, and I noticed two girls dancing with a man. They seemed happy, but the brunette was jealous of the redhead, and all I could get from her were negative vibes that sent a prickle of unease down my spine. I looked away, now glancing ahead of me. Approaching a bar, where round tables with people sitting and getting wasted were situated. "What would you two like to have?" The barte
."... Have you?" Tia inquired. "Of course, I've not had sex with Vyn," I responded."Then you should. You're missing out on something good," Tia teased, and a warm feeling spread up my cheeking. My stomach knotted, and the thought of having him slide in and out of me made my throat dry. I scratched my neck, heaving a glass of orange juice off the mat to take a sip. "No wine?" I asked, studying the glass cup with a slight frown on my face. "Oh, I'm saving that for when we hit the club," he said, positioning himself behind me so I could rest my back on his chest. A smile graced my lips, and I leaned against him, twirling the orange goodness around my taste buds. We sat in comfortable silence for a while, but it soon began to make me feel uneasy. I felt his body passing a sad current to mine. I angled my head upwards, beholding his face, which was void of every pleasant emotion. He had a distant look in his eyes that told a sad story that broke my heart even before I could hear i
I grew giddy, watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon, which had been buttered with golden hues. I rested my elbow on the window sill, admiring how the sky looked like it had been set ablaze. "Would you prefer this?" Lyra asked from behind me, cutting off my self-induced trance. I turned, eyeing the blue T-shirt and jeans she held in one hand. "Er, yes. As long as the pants don't restrict most of my movements," I said, wearing a small smile. "You seem excited," Lyra asked, and then added, "Would you like to share your happiness with me?" "Well," I clasped my hands together, happy that someone was offering listening ears. "Vyn said he got a–""What are you doing, Zanna?" Tia inquired, sounding stern. "You shouldn't be having small talks with her. I never did that.""Oh, dear. I'm sorry, I thought..." I sighed in my head and then scrunched up my face. "Shouldn't you be folding my closet?" I asked Lyra, pressing my lips in a thin line."Sorry, Alpha Moon," Lyra said, offerin
A few days later, I was seated on the bed with the doctor running a quick check on my vitals. "Everything is fine," the doctor said, pulling the stethoscope from his ears, letting it hang around his neck. "Your shoulder will be back to new in no time. It's a good thing that it wasn't infected. Try to keep it clean as much as you can to avoid getting any sort of infection." Vyn nodded behind him, craning his neck to see what the doctor was doing. "I'll need you to pull her zipper down a little, Lyra," the doctor said, adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Why?" Vyn was quick to ask with a tinge of overprotectiveness in his voice as he stepped forward with a stern look on his face. "Oh, for nothing illegal. I just want to clean her wound," the doctor responded with his hands up in surrender. Vyn moved back, and I pressed my lips together, concealing a small smile. His actions made my heart flutter. It was so good to see a man act so protective of me. Richard, on the ot
