PROLOGUEI walk into the pitch-dark room, reaching for the switch to turn on the lights. My fingers couldn't touch the switch. Like the switch isn't there. But the room is familiar. It is my bedroom with Vishal. The room where we have a thousand sex, say the most cheesy love lines to each other, fight and cry, console and kiss away each other's pain.A smile formed on my face as I spotted a bouquet of roses on the bed. I shut the door and walk to the bed. The bouquet has a note on it and I pick it up to read.My heart does a little flip-flop at whatever romantic adventure Vishal is planning now. I open the note but the sound of rushing water from the bedroom makes me look up.“Vi?” No response. But it has to be him. Maybe he is waiting for me to join him in the shower. I feel my pussy wet at the lewd thought of another shower hardcore fuck with Vi. I tease the rope of my nightgown, almost taking it off as I head into the bathroom.“Vi?“ I stop taking off my nightgown as I realize t
CHAPTER 1 - JANE“Earth to you, Jane,” Ella's voice resounds in my ears as she snaps her fingers in my face.I snap out of my thoughts, taking a deep, sharp breath.“I'm sorry. What were you girls saying?“ I say quickly, taking a sip of my tequila on the rocks.Amira scoffs, flicking her hair backward. “We were saying how boring this night has become because you won't stop getting distracted in the middle of our talks,““For real, girl. What's wrong? What got you so worked up?“ Ella asks, rubbing my shoulder lightly.“It's nothing. I think I'm just tired from taking care of the kids and the Pack's duties,“ I lied, adjusting on my stool. I gulp down my drink, loving the burning feeling in my throat.“Is that it?” Ella asks further, holding my hand. “You sure there isn't something else eating you up?“ “I'm fine, Ella. I mean it,” I force a smile, subtly slipping my hand away from her hold. My hands twitch whenever I tell a lie. I wouldn't want her to notice it.The blaring music from t
CHAPTER 2 - JANE“You don't need it. Just suck his dick good. He's gonna be all over you,“ Rose yells out to her.She giggles and blows Rose a kiss as she gets closer to the stranger's table.It's fun watching June make her conquests over different men. She doesn't have a mate and she flaunts that fact anytime she gets the chance. And the little icing on the cake is that she's sexy and a tease. She knows how to get any guy to beg for her. “She's got him,“ Amira chuckles. We watch as June says something in the man's ears. He smirks and adjusts and she goes on her knees, her expert hands unbuckling his belt.“Is she seriously gonna suck his dick in here?“ Ella gasps.Rose flashes her a scowl and fixes her gaze back on June, who already has the man's hard dick in her hands.“Yuck, June. Don't be such a whore!“ Ella spats.“Don't be such a prudish hypocrite,” Rose fires back. “I'm sure you go down on Ray all night,”“You didn't just go there, bitch,” Ella fumes, fisting her hands.“Cut i
CHAPTER 3 - JANEI stir in my sleep, as my body brushes against hairs, arousing a wave of pleasure inside me.My eyes flutter open and I'm hit by the sun rays infiltrating the blinds. I groan sleepily, dragging up the duvet to cover my face.The hairs brush against my skin again and I'm forced to look at my side. And there he is, with his eyes shut. He has no shirt on, and that's why the light hairs on his chest were messing with me.My Vishal. He looks more handsome in his sleep, and I take a few seconds to admire him. His dark hair falls in curls to his face, and it makes my pussy twitch from hunger.Needing to feel him, I snuggle closer to his body, wrapping my arms around him. He reciprocates, locking me in his arms.God, this feels so nice. I shut my eyes, breathing in his mesmerizing scent. I let my hands run up and down his ripped arms. I want to feel every inch of him, starting with his big dick that keeps brushing my inner thighs through his pants.But I fight the urge and ju
CHAPTER 4 – JANEI curl up on the bed, dragging up the duvet to cover my body. Vishal gets down and heads into the bathroom. He stays there for half an hour. Sometimes, I hear him cussing. Other times, I hear his fist smashing against the wall. And then, the shower starts running. Then it gets turned off, but he's still not out.Tears roll down my eyes and I quickly wipe them off. I wasn't sure why my heart was feeling rather heavy.Maybe it is the awful change of mood when I told him I saw Richard's reflection. Vishal paled instantly. And that was the end of our little fun. I didn't get my release, he still has a boner, but he didn't seem to give a fuck about that.Something about what I told him is eating at him and I'm not sure what.Just then, the bathroom door opens and he walks out. He goes to the closet and picks an outfit. He stands in front of the vanity mirror and runs a comb through his brown hair.He's watching me through the mirror and our eyes meet. He holds my gaze, a
CHAPTER 5 – JANE“...You may now kiss the bride,“ The priest says and Nikolai pulls Amira into his arms, placing a deep kiss on her lips.We all stand and applaud the new couple. I hear an unending sniffling beside me and I turn my head to see who it is.Ella wipes her tears with a handkerchief but they keep falling. Her makeup is getting ruined but she just won't stop crying."Psst," I tried to get her attention. She looks at me and I gesture at her face, "you're gonna ruin your makeup,""I know. I'm sorry. It's just…they make a beautiful couple," She sobs again.I smile at her sheer display of affection for the newlyweds. And yeah, they do look magnificent. Amira just raised the standards for future brides. It'll be hard to beat this record.Her choice of gold outfits and earthy decor is just superb. It feels surreal here, and the soft music she picked is just perfect. I swear I would be in tears too if I were half as emotional as Ella."Just stuff your clutch into her throat, pleas
CHAPTER 6 - JANEThe voice sends my heart into a frenzy, and I feel my knees go weak. A weak gasp escapes me as tears clog my vision. This can't be."Ri – Richard?" I stutter, going pale from staring at my nemesis. No. This has to be one of my nightmares. It has to be, 'cause my reality can't be this terrifying.Someone, please wake me up! "Yeah, it's me, little mate," He walks in further, stopping a little distance away from the threshold.I take in his appearance and my limbs go trembling. His hair is a sandy blonde and it is sleek and falls to his shoulder. His dark clothes and boots sync with the dark, horrific aura surrounding him.His eyes are dead, and it has me getting paralyzed by the torrent of fear that grips me. His once-white dentition is now dark, and crooked. His upper teeth are covered in grills that heighten his monstrous look.He has a two-edged sword hanging on his back and two daggers in his hands. The complete assassin outfit. A human depiction of cruelty.I get
CHAPTER 7 – JANEHis words reverberate in my head and I can't believe we're back to this. Can't say I didn't see it coming. But I thought my life had gotten better than this. How wrong I was!Still, I refuse to give in to his intimidation and threats. I almost didn't survive it when I went with him years back. Why would I wanna take that route again?"Go to hell," I say to his face, spitting on it. "How dare you?!" He growls, numbing my face with a resounding slap.Something dies inside of me at the impact and I think it's my strong will. I'm back to tears and I'm desperately trying to mind-link Vishal. "Amber, please," I try to nudge my wolf back to consciousness. I can only mind-link Vishal if she's active.But she says nothing and it seems she's dead or something. I scowl at Richard with my tear-filled eyes."What have you done to me wolf?!" "I told you already –""You monster!" I go berserk, kicking him. He moves away, running his fingers through his hair."Tune it down, Jane,"
CHAPTER 32 – RICHARD (PARALLEL UNIVERSE)"Who's next?!" Ray yells, as the scruffy, haggard lady scrams out of the office. "Let's just tell them all to go fuck themselves!" I snap at Ray, slamming my hands on the table. Just then, the door opens and another female walks in. She's a little better dressed than the last female, but she's still not Jane, and I'm getting fucking impatient!"Relax, man. We'll get you a fine-ass secretary. I promise." Ray whispers to me, rubbing my arm. His hair is tousled from the stress and I feel a bit of sympathy for him."With the sorry excuses of females walking in through that door, I highly doubt that," I reply with a hiss, standing abruptly that my seat topples behind me.The loud crashing sound makes her flinch, and she lowers her head. I can see her finger quivering in fright around her résumé. She's dead scared from just a crashing sound. What happens if she accidentally gets hired and has to listen to me yell and cuss her ass out every day? She'
CHAPTER 31 - JANE (PARALLEL UNIVERSE)I walk out of the grocery store, steadying the grocery bags in my arms. They're heavy and filled to their brim. It's only a matter of time before I'm tired and need to get a taxi. But for now, I'll just try to enjoy the walk."Jane, wait up!" June sprints slightly to meet me, as we take the sidewalk, heading home. The street is rowdy and crowded so we keep squeezing through bodies and sometimes, bumping into others."Why don't we just grab a taxi already? It's tiring carrying these bags and bumping into people." I sigh, adjusting the weights on my arms. This definitely isn't what I signed up for."Going home with a taxi will make us get home faster, and that's gonna ruin everything.""Ruin what?" I ask confusedly."Your little time outside," June replies, flipping her hair. "C'mon Jane, you've spent weeks brooding and wallowing in misery. You refused to leave the apartment. This is your first time out, in two weeks. You should enjoy the fresh air
CHAPTER 30 - VISHAL (THE FIRST UNIVERSE)Watching the leaves fall from the tree is a little medicinal and it eases a bit of the suffocation I'm feeling in my heart. My fingers are loosely wrapped around the glass of brandy in my hand. I sip from it again, not letting my eyes off the window. It's a bright day and full of good energy but I feel more gloomy than I ever have. Jane has been gone for over a week and there's still no news about her disappearance. Richard has disappeared too. No trace of him or his feral werewolves. It feels like they all just…disappeared. For real. I've combed the entire pack and beyond in my desperate search for my mate, Jane. I've contacted every Alpha of the packs in the region to be on the lookout and let me know if they see her. But no one has any news about her or Richard.It's been frustrating and agonizing for me, waking up each day alone and knowing that my mate is somewhere out there but I can't find her. I take another chug of my brandy, savori
CHAPTER 29 - JANEI stare blankly at him as he gives a husky chuckle strolling to his chair. He pushes it back and slides into it, crossing his legs. I don't bother sitting, so I just remain standing and staring at him.His smirk is flirtatious as he boldly undresses me with his eyes. His eyes linger longer on my lips and he bites his lower lip."So tell me, what's it gonna be?" His husky, deep voice reverberates in the room. My skin flushes from the heat growing between us."Please, Sir. Why don't we talk about this again? Hear me out, please. I don't think·""You're not supposed to think, Jane!" He cuts in, impatiently. "I'm not making an impossible proposal here, so don't make things difficult.""More than you already did?" I ask calmly, but my nerves are ripping apart."I think you got the wrong conception about my proposal, Jane. I'm not making things difficult. On the contrary, I'm here to give you a smooth ride in life." He pushes open the drawer and takes out a checkbook.I wa
CHAPTER 28 – JANE (Parallel Universe)I take a sip of my coffee, and then a bite of my cookies. I don't have much appetite, especially because my mind is running wild. I can't stop thinking about what I'll be telling my boss today. Will I accept his proposal or is it safe to say I'm gonna be officially unemployed starting today?I'm nervous as hell and I just can't stomach the sweet breakfast I made. I can't even relax. My boss occupies my mind and my heart is racing in anxiety. What do I do? How do I solve this problem without losing my job?I can't afford to be unemployed. I got too many bills to pay, that I just can't afford to be unemployed. But fucking my boss doesn't sound appealing either. So what do I do?"Good morning!" June's voice distracts me from my thoughts. I look up and see her coming down the stairs."Hey, girlfriend. Good to see you're finally awake." I smile at her. She kisses my cheek and struts to the kitchen."I had a nice sleep. Thank you so much for not waking
CHAPTER 27 – RICHARDThe rage that's jabbing at every inch of my nerves is rather monstrous. And if whoever just spilled his drink on me doesn't have a fucking valid reason, I just might snap his neck. I don't care. I've had enough frustrating moments to last the night. I don't need to endure this bullshit."Are you fucking blind or what?!""I'm so sorry…I'm sorry, I didn't·" the voice stops talking.My rage drops a notch as I see who the words are from. It's a female. A sexy human female. Not a werewolf. She's drunk, like fucking tipsy, and even though she's trying to be steady, she keeps slipping and bumping into random bodies.I'm not sore how seeing a drunk, sexy human should make me feel, but right now, I'm fucking pissed and it's all thanks to her whiskey drenching my outfit. The fact that she's almost naked despite her black lace shorts and the lacy top doesn't suffice my rage. It didn't even get my dick hard. Irritation is all I feel right now.She's staring deep into my eyes
CHAPTER 26 - RICHARD"I'm fine, dude. Told you already. I bumped my head into something hard and my memories are lagging a bit. But other than that, I'm fucking fine. Don't worry." I say in a firm voice, trying to convince him.He nods, sipping his drink in silence. I'm not dense. I can see on his face that he doesn't believe me a hundred percent. He's probably just tired of bugging me about it, and that's why he's pretending to believe me. But then, I don't honestly care if he believes me or not. I just hope he doesn't bother me anymore with his irritating questions about why I'm acting differently. I'm sick and tired of telling the same lies. He should just give it a rest.We sip our drinks in silence, and I, for once, turn to the crowd to see what's going on. The place is filled with naked, aroused human bodies, caressing each other and fighting to get some pleasure. There's an object of excitement at the podium, I assume, 'cause the men wouldn't quit whistling in that direction.
CHAPTER 25 – RICHARD"One more bottle of tequila!" I yell out to the bartender, twirling the shot glass in my loose grip. My eyes are getting heavy from a couple of drinks I've had. But it doesn't matter. I plan on getting fucking wasted tonight. The bartender places the bottle in front of me and Ray reaches to grab it. I beat him to it, grabbing the bottle and turning the other way to pour myself a drink."That's enough, man. You drinking way too much." Ray sighs behind me. "Not as much as I plan on," I reply briskly, placing the bottle on the counter. I chug down my drink and it heats my throat, leaving me with a strong urge to pour myself another glass. You could say I'm a fucking addict, but tequila has always been it for me."Dude, what are you talking about? We both know you've never been a good drinker. Booze drives you insane. Makes you do the craziest things. Isn't that why you quit drinking? What the hell is going on with you tonight?!"Yeah, right. I scoffed at his lectur
CHAPTER 24 - JANE (Parallel universe)"Tell me. How did it happen? What did you do? Why did he make such a proposal out of the blue? Or has this been going on for a while?" June fires me a lot of questions. Her brown eyes twinkle with curiosity mixed with a bit of…excitement? "No. It was literally out of the blue. I got to work. I was at my desk when he came in with his small entourage. Then his wife walked in too…""That cold hag." June snorts, making a face of disgust."June! Don't call her that." I reprimand her."But it's true. I'm in my mid-twenties and I still haven't seen any woman colder than your boss's wife. She's always dressed like some…""That's enough, June. Please." I say more firmly, shutting up whatever rude remarks she's trying to voice out. "Don't forget she's still my boss's wife. Show the woman a bit of respect.""Okay. Okay. Whatever." She scoffs, waving it off. "So what happened after that?""She walked into his office, and after a few minutes, she ran out in t
