In one moment, a man stood in front of her, blessed by Adonis himself and kissed by the goddess. Ariel’s eyes dipped appreciatively down his body, the ripped stomach from hours of working out painted in a delicious tan that made her want to lick it thoroughly.Her eyes lowered painfully from those well-toned ridges, and they continued dipping down to the v of his waist.That was the sluttiest thing a man could ever possess.Ariel stared unashamedly as the V dipped down to the bottom, revealing tiny tufts of hair, but to her disappointment, his huge hands covered the main prize with his hands.Her eyes flew upwards to meet him, about to protest for disrupting her view, but the gaze in his eye had her swallowing the saliva that had pooled in her mouth.And just like that, the change happened.If she had blinked in that moment, she was sure she would have missed it—the fluid breaking of his bones, the way he fell to his knees, his head bowed as if worshipping Mother Nature, flesh giving
“I still refuse to believe you are a werewolf.” Ariel told Toby as they sat on one of the sofas in the living room. She was well aware of the pair of eyes boring holes into her skin, although now for a different reason, but she could care less.“Why?” Toby asked; his voice drowned out as he took a gulp from the juice carton, and Ariel looked on, her face twitching in disgust.She made a mental note to herself never to drink from any open carton.“I don’t know; you are just so carefree and so friendly, quite unlike the people in this house, and honestly, I can’t even believe you are the war general of something.”Toby shook his head, a tiny lip on his lips, but he was relieved that he wasn’t going to be pretending with her anymore. “It is called being a gamma, but yeah, I understand you. Being a wolf is just part of who I am, just like being a human. It doesn’t change anything about me.”“Hmm.” Ariel nodded her head. If she was being honest, they weren’t so bad. If Toby was a werewolf
Kane had just come back from a scouting meeting with his beta, and he was dead beat. The pack had been increasing rapidly to the point that the packhouse could no longer contain them, and he had to come up with a solution. Fast.They were a rogue pack; hence, their pack was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by thick forest, and isolated from the main pack.But Kane wanted a change.The isolation had been affecting a lot of his packmates, especially in the area of finding their mates, and he wanted to do better. He was their alpha, and it came with a lot of responsibilities.He had heard of a better land just east of the former moonlight pack, and he had gone there to inquire. He had already written to the alpha king about his decision, and with or without his approval, he was going to take the land.Kane collapsed on his sofa, resting his head on the armrest, his eyes slowly closing as he tried to take a quick nap, but all he could think of was Ariel.It was a little cliche, but he
Ariel whined from the pain that had engulfed her entire body. She tried to focus on anything but the pain, but it was easier said than done. It was too hurtful to speak, and she could only manage incoherent words.She heard the bed squeak from pressure, and a face was in her line of vision. She could recognize that sharp jawline, and she couldn’t help the relief she felt as she saw him.“Kane.”“Ariel.” Kane croaked out as he looked at his mate. His words were choked up by the different feelings bubbling in me, but one stood out of them all.Relieve.“Kane, w-water.” Ariel managed to get out, weakly pointing to her throat. It was drier than the Sahara and as coarse as sandpaper.She watched as Kane directed the straw to her mouth, and she opened it, taking little sips of the cold liquid. It was amazing how water could be so powerful because her tongue loosened and she could think well.“Where am I?”“You are at the clinic, love. You were beaten up in such bad shape that you were losin
“Kane!” Ariel was seething as she banged his door open. If she wasn’t so angry, she would have agreed that the light blue shirt hugged his muscles so well, giving definition to the well-toned chest, and that in her next life, she was going to be a shirt.Focus Ariel, you are supposed to be angry with him.Kane slowly tore his gaze from his work, and he raised his head to look at her, a little smile on his face. "Well, hello, darling. You look rather stunning today; how may I help you?”“What. Did. You. Do?” She inched forward with each word, only one thing in mind.“I don’t understand you, love; I think you need to give me a little context.” He was enjoying this way too much.“Don’t call me love.” Ariel spat out with gritted teeth, her fist tightening beside her.The son of a gun!He was fucking smiling; did he not realize how serious it was?“What did you do to them?”“I don’t understand what you are saying, Ariel. I suggest you give me something to work with, and I can know for myse
“Oh lord! Not again!” Ariel yelled out for the whole world to hear. Her best friend in the other part of the world was watching her lose control, and as tempting as it was to laugh at her predicament, she knew that Ariel wouldn’t find it funny.“What happened?”“I can’t find a dress to wear.” Ariel exhaled loudly, her hands flopping down to her side. She had been rummaging through her wardrobe in search of something presentable to wear to her date.“Calm down, Ari; the date isn’t till tomorrow.”“I know, but I need to get a dress now and try it on to know if it is okay, or I will have to go shopping.” She picked out a Chanel dress she had gotten to mark her graduation from college, but she was shaking her head. “No, too boring.”At this point, Claudia couldn’t resist the urge to roll her eyes. “You are doing too much, Ari. You could show up in sweatpants, and this man will still think you are the most beautiful woman that walked the face of the earth.”“You don’t know that.” She ran h
He was lying.She didn’t just like it; she loved it—the feel of his soft lips on hers moving like the waves had her forgetting about the people in the room with them.The world seemed to melt away, leaving only them.A soft hum escaped her as his hands caressed her neck, sending delicious shivers down her spine. He poured all the love and tenderness into the kiss, and she was floating on the horizon she had painted.But it was ending too soon, and his lips left her so painfully that she whined, longing for more.Kane noticed her demeanor, and he smiled, his fingers coming to trace her lips. “We could continue back at home. If you want.” He added as an afterthought, and Ariel averted her eyes, instead focusing it on her painting.The thoughts she was having were quite unholy, and they do not belong in this kind of setting.“We still have some wine left.” She picked up her wine glass, twirling it as a means to disperse the sexual tension between them.“Yeah,” he gestured to the waiter,
“What have you done?”The man at the door was like nothing she had known; he was seething, his mouth pressed in a thin line, and the worst was that it was all directed towards her.“I don’t understand Toby. What did I do?” Ariel’s brain was still jumbled from waking up from sleep before her wake time, and that was the easiest way to get her pissed.“Your Instagram.”“What happened to my Instagram?" She peeped my head outside, her eyes scanning the hallways for anyone that may be passing. These werewolf folks are very notorious for eavesdropping, and the last thing she wanted them to know was about their talk.“You posted Kane on your wall last night.” He said, and now she became pissed. Ariel slightly tilted her head to the side, her brain still trying to process why that should be the reason he was angry.“And if I did, how does that concern you?” She folded her arms below her breast, quite aware of how transparent her nightwear is, but she refused to acknowledge it.There were might
