'Thank you, my Alpha', Shema said. 'I grew up with them both and though Damian is the elder, he never made his feelings known to me. And when we found that we were all mated, there was no way I could marry the both of them. I chose the person who had made his feelings known to me and who I had grown to love not as a friend but as a mate'. She swallowed and continued. 'It was just an unfortunate twist that Storm had to die leaving me so heartbroken. I loved him so much. Damian started making advances towards me and I felt it was a desecration of Storm's memory but since I was also mated to him and since our honourable Alpha Hugh, your brother gave the judgement that I marry him, I consented but anytime he touches me, I remember Storm!' she wailed.'What is the problem?' I asked. 'Are you attracted to another? Would you rather be with some other male?''Oh, no!' Shema answered quickly as though such a thought had not even occured to her.'Then what is it? Could it be that you feel guilt
The way Sylvester treats Devin and Kevin, one would think he was their biological father. I came home one day and stood watching him as he played with them, he was squatting on all fours and they climbed his back like they would a pony and he was moving with them on his back and they squealed with laughter. It was evident that he did this with them everytime.I was happy that at least my pups had a father figure and would not be missing out in the affection of a father but I was also sad because, Sylvester's attitude to me had gone from cold to frosty, bordering on frozen and my pride would not allow me beg him to take me to bed but I craved it so much. Oh, God, how I crave his touch! Since I came back from judging the case, a fortnight ago, I have tried in subtle ways to show him that I was ready to take the next step in our relationship - that I wanted us to consummate our marriage, that I desired it greatly but if he noticed any change in me, he didn't show it and we kept on hurt
'What?' he said, as he staggered from the for e of my push, nearly falling off the bed. I quickly got up from the bed, straightening my skirt. I could see that he had not expected such a reaction from me. His mouth was still wide open and his expression showed that he was taken aback.'I said, I do not want you and you'll do well to remember that and keep your hands to yourself next time!' I shouted.'I do not believe you!' he said, narrowing his eyes at me.'Believe whatever you will and keep the terms of our contract in mind!' I said, trying to drown the voice of Milly who was protesting in my head. 'You want this, and you know it, why are you being stubborn?''You want this as much as I do and you know it, why are you being so stubborn and living in denial?' he asked and I was shocked because that was the same question Milly had just asked me. It was almost as though he could ready mind when I should be the one doing the reading.'You are mistaken!' I said.'How can I be mistaken
Sylvester's POVI feel drawn to Devin and Kevin. I could not have loved them more if they were my biological pups. In a way, they are. Afterall, their father was my other half. The best part of my day was playing with them. They bring me so much joy and whenever I am with them, I forget all the burdens in my heart.We were having so much fun one such day that I did not know when Millicent came in. I caught a whiff of her but I knew she had been standing there for a long while without me being any the wiser.'Oh, you're here!' I said.She nodded, and I felt hurt that she was still acting so cold towards me even after seven months of being joined by the priest as Alpha and Luna.'Okay, pups, it's time for your nap', she said cheerfully. 'Say bye to uncle Sylvester!'I looked at her furiously. Why she insists on hurting my feelings, I could not fathom. She knew I would rather they called me Dad. That's what I was anyway in a manner of speaking. Their Dad and I were different sides of the
'What?' I said, as I staggered from her push. She had caught me unawares.She quickly got up from the bed, straightening her skirt. But my eyes refused to leave hers. What did she mean when she said she did not want me?'I said, I do not want you and you'll do well to remember that and keep your hands to yourself next time!' she shouted.'I do not believe you!' I said, looking at her in disbelief.'Believe whatever you will and keep the terms of our contract in mind!' she said.'You want this as much as I do and you know it, why are you acting so stubborn and living in denial?' I asked angry that she was denying her desire for me.'You are mistaken!' she said.'How can I be mistaken when I can smell your arousal? The scent is pulling me towards you', I said, smiling to disarm her. 'Quit being childish and let's enjoy mating together because this is what the both of us want!''You may want it', she said, denying it vehemently. 'I want no such thing!''Then I'll have to prove you wrong!
The days following this encounter was a strain. I could not look at her without recalling her scent, her perfect body form, her response and I knew if something was not done soon, I was going to go insane. I had been on heat a few times but with Millicent, I always found it impossible to control myself.'Sylvester', she had said the next day. 'We need to talk!''About what?' I asked, raising a brow as though I did not care for that.'About last night!' she said. 'There's no use acting as though nothing happened'.'Did something happen?' I asked, wanting to know what her response would be.'We came close to mating!' she said.'You mean, you wanted us to mate?' I asked, hoping she would say something that would make me know she was ready to accept me fully.'I did not.. want us to mate, that is!' she snapped. 'Oh, but you did. Are you still living in denial?' I asked, thinking Millicent was really incorrigible.'If I did, it must be because I thought I was with someone else', she said
I was coming back from a visit away from my pack, this time, not with the intention to make Millicent jealous, I was done with that but on some official business when I was attacked.'He is Christopher!' someone said. 'I told you he was still alive!'I was going to tell them they had it all wrong because Alpha Christopher was dead and I was his brother Alpha Sylvester but before I knew what was happening, I was being attacked. I realised too late what their intent was. But for my fast reflexes, I do not know what would have happened. I killed them. There were four of them. From their looks, they were rogues. I managed to get back to my pack without any further mishaps but I was injured and losing blood.As I staggered in, the first person I saw was Millicent. 'Sylvester, what happened?' she asked, wide eye.'Nothing!' I said and staggering upstairs to my room. She looked after me for a little while and rushed after me, held me on the arm and helped me up the remaining stairs toy roo
Millicent's POV I was happy that Sylvester had not actually been going to mate other females. I had been jealous and distressed for no just cause. I wanted to be angry with him but could not for joy.But your injuries...' I tried to warn him to take it easy as he drew me into the bed beside him.'No buts! And to hell with the injury!' he said carelessly as he started kissing me.'Thank you, Moon Goddess, for this second chance at happiness', I prayed silently to the Luna Goddess.Sylvester was kissing me as though he was going out of his mind and I did not blame him because I was too but I still wanted him to be alright.'Stop worrying', he said. 'I am an Alpha and I can self - heal faster than other werewolves. Coupled with the fact that you are a healer and my mate. Mating with you will not endanger me but serve to heal me faster!' he said, and I saw the logic in his words and had to agree with him.I threw myself into the kissing, murmuring lustfully, 'At this rate, we'll be teari
