Even though I'm drowsy and exhausted, I make an effort to stay awake and keep an eye on what's going on around me. I don't know what's going on, but the next thing I knew, the two men who were trying to undress me were no longer holding me in place. They were now kneeling in front of several other men while guns were pointed at their heads. "What the fuck is this that you are doing to her?" One of the men, struggling to speak, then said, "B-boss, we have nothing against you. We were just seeking the woman, wanting to have fun with her and nothing else. We don't want to get ourselves into a fight here with all of you." I once more closed my eyes, attempting to calm my racing heartbeat while listening to the ruckus going on around me. "Assholes! Who in their right mind told you that you could do something like this on my turf?" The authoritative voice yelled once more. It is obvious that that is not my mate's voice. But even though I am unable to figure out who it was, the voice still
"I guess it conflicts with what you were really claiming to tell us before, that you weren't interested in having to be involved with her again and would rather let her walk away from us." Quen got started with his rant at Blaze, who continued to be in a state of contemplation since they had come back together with the woman in discussion, and this time he won't be stopped. Continuing to utter the words, "Look at that, you wanted for her to end up wherever she needed to be without our help, but out of nowhere here she is, in our territory again, and, if I may say, well taken care of and, presumably, peacefully sleeping by now. What is really your plan with her, then? Why do you feel the need to bring her here again when you clearly told us to let her be on her own?"Even though he can clearly hear what Quen is saying, Blaze has decided to stay silent since he is uncertain of what prompted him to carry out the steps he did or why he helped her again at this point in time. He was the o
Several knocks on the door jolted me as I was trying to think of my next move. I do not yet have the courage to deal with the people who saved me after yet another wrong decision on my part, but I am aware that there is absolutely nothing I will be able to do at this point but to face them and their questioning. And I must really refrain from acting as though I am in danger with these people, even if my gut feeling is telling me so, especially considering that I know now that the person who actually saved me is a medical practitioner who saves lives and does not really end them.As the door opened, a sweet, friendly female voice spoke to me, "Hey, are you awake? Can I come in? I just wanted to check on you."She appeared to be the same woman who was wi
Blaze is incensed by what Blythe told him and Quen, uttering the words, "At this point she wanted to continue her stay here? That is just absolute bullshit! After running away from us and nearly getting assaulted, she realized that she wanted to stay here now. Why is that? Does she think of us as her bodyguards, who would always be at her beck and call at every cry? That is just utter crap!" He had earlier sent his sister to keep tabs on the woman, who was never more than a source of concern for him; he had been checking on his unlikeable guest, but he realized he needed to create some space as the pull he has with her just keeps getting stronger for whatever reason. And now his sister has returned bearing awful information for him. And at the moment, what his sister is telling them is undoubtedly getting on his nerves. That woman wanted to stay with them, but of course, he doesn't want to allow that.
While I waited for Blythe to come back, I continued to fiddle and feel anxious about everything. I know she'll be talking to them about the things we talked about, and I am not sure if I am even ready to hear their answers or not. And as much as I hate to admit it, I actually worry about what her brother might have to say when he hears about my request. Even without thinking deliberately, I have an uncanny sense that he'll boot me out of their house this instant. And why wouldn't he? From the onset, he doesn't seem to like me, but maybe because of his profession, he is inclined to provide help to an almost-dead woman like me. And I'm not only imagining what could be the worst-case scenario at this point; I'm also attempting to get myself geared up to deal with what's to come next for me once I leave their place. Other than that, I cannot hold it against them,
Blaze has absolutely no plan to keep the woman in front of him on his territory. He did, however, assure his sister that he would have a conversation with their unlikely visitor and make a decision based on her responses. But in spite of what he had stated he would do, he had already made up his mind. She needs to leave, but before that, she needs to tell him everything she has been hiding from them. "What happened, princess? Isn't it a surprise that you are capable of speaking now? So you suddenly were able to talk to my dear sister after playing the mute card with all of us around here?" He kept on mocking the woman, who appeared to be making every effort to hide her feelings of panic. Blythe slapped his brother's arm and called out, "Blaze, cut it out. When you exert this kind of pressure on her, how can she say something at all?"
"Hey, Snow, what the heck are you doing there again? I had told you that you didn't have to do that; you didn't need to do anything at all, and even Blaze told you that, didn't he? So why do you keep exhausting yourself around when there are actually a lot of other people who can do that?" Blythe continues to lecture Snow once more for being so stubborn and not really listening to her, as is usual for her. They are keeping her from working, but as always, Snow always does the exact opposite of what has been asked of her. "Blythe, don't try to lecture me again. I simply want to do something around here. I would rather not behave like I own the place." "You don't consider yourself a servant around here, because we don't. You are our guests, and guests are not required to clean the house or serve us around her
Eris' incessant rants and groans in my head were interfering with my train of thought. "Goodness, Snow! What the hell are you doing? Have you gone insane? Tell me that this is not actually happening and I'm just seeing things." Realizing exactly what she had been trying to get across, I responded by asking her, "What are you even talking about?" with a swift reply. "You appear to have a knack for noticing things in greater detail than a wolf would normally, Eris; therefore, you must be the one who is most certainly insane, not me." "We both are aware of what I saw you do, so don't try to capitalize on this against me," she called out. "You cannot argue with that fact, Snow, for we are one. I am you, and you are me." Simply due to the fact that I wasn't keen to start an entirely new dispute with her, I made the ch
And just like that, Snow was gone. Without saying anything further to him or any other explanations regarding her actions, she left him again. He did not want her to go, but he was powerless to do anything to stop her. He saw how determined Snow is in leaving, and because he eventually allowed her to go, especially to be with her original mate, Blaze despises himself even more.But can he really do something about that? He hates the fact that he doesn't know as much as he needs to about this fucking pack that she keeps on mentioning. He is even more agitated that even though he is a wolf, his level of understanding about what he truly is doesn't even come close for him to genuinely understand his kind."Fuck it!" he grumbled viciously. ""he left me to be with him, and I just let them. This is bullshit! What a total moron am I!"
Blaze's initial remarks after bringing Snow into his room have been, "What exactly in the hell was that? Who the hell does he think he is, and why the fucking hell are you kissing him?! And are you even real to stop me from killing that asshole?!"Blaze's impulses have become unrestrained after everything that he has witnessed. He doesn't fully understand what was happening, but all he knew was that he was losing his damn control and his mind because someone was taking ownership of what was supposed to be his.And he hates feeling this way. He hates the fact that his heart is aching like this. The primary explanation for why he never wanted to fall in love in the first place was basically because of this. Love is an intricate emotion that merely causes upheaval and confusion.He was better before because he never in
Blaze finds it hard to believe what he's actually witnessing. He left Snow earlier because of some urgent matters that he needed to attend to, but when he came back, this scene was actually what made him seethe in anger. He cannot, for the life of him, let any man take what is his, but right at this moment that asshole is actually taking what is his.He had completely forgotten the need to wait for an explanation as soon as he saw the man's lips connect to Snow's. He wanted one thing, and that is to kill the asshole. With Quen behind him and getting ready to take action as well, he charged at the man and then delivered him the most powerful shove he could. "You will die, jerk!"Snow yelled back at him, "Blaze! Stop!" after which she attempted to block his way so he wouldn't get too close to the guy she was smooching with.
If she had been taken aback by Phoenix's sudden appearance in the human world, she is now completely dumbfounded by what she has heard him say to her. It seems that this man has a habit of shocking her each and every time they meet.The words he said kept repeating over and over in her head, and even her wolf popped up to rejoice in that declaration, despite the fact that she had previously accepted that they were already destined for their second chance mate, Blaze.She glared, letting Phoenix know that she had no intention of listening to whatever he was attempting to say. How can he change so dramatically after rejecting her? What actually happened between him and Maddie to make him want her this much after everything that he did to destroy her self-worth? What kind of game is he playing right now with her?
To say that Snow was taken aback to see Phoenix again after he rejected her would be considered an understatement. And if that was not enough of a surprise for her, seeing him in human territory is another big shock. But what was even more unexpected for her was when he introduced himself to Blythe as her fiancé.Is he out of his damn mind? How can he even consider himself her fiancé when he outright rejected her when he realized that she was his mate? A lot of questions are going on in her mind as she stares incredulously at the two men in front of her."What are you two doing here?" She asked in disbelief. She is doing her best to act nonchalant so she can prevent Blythe from asking questions, but her tone in questioning Phoenix was admittedly in utter shock."Fiancé? You are Snow's fiancé? Since when?" Blythe ask
It's early in the morning, and Snow is trying her best not to wake anyone up in the house as she goes to the kitchen. Blaze and Quen left early that day, so she was left to herself. He promised, though, that he wouldn't be out too long and that he'd be back for breakfast, and that is the reason why she is planning to prepare a meal for him.Indeed, everything between her and Blaze changed. They spend more time together now than ever, as if Blaze is terrified of losing her again. Well, with Cleo out of the picture, that won't be necessary anymore. She has taken her rightful place as his mate, and the only thing left for them is to complete the mating ritual and explain to Balze's family and gang what they truly are."Gotcha!" A voice blurted out behind her. "I don't know where Blaze kept you or where you've been hiding the past few days, but that is over now."
This was what I wanted. Although I am still not prepared for the entire mating ritual, as Eris mentioned earlier, I nevertheless desire him. There is nothing that can stop me from lusting over Blaze, since I wanted him as much as he wanted me.To make our bond stronger, and in order for my bond with Phoenix to weaken, we simply have to complete the mating, but that can be a discussion for another time. After all, the mating will have to happen on the full moon. Right now, I need him. I need him to be inside of me.He is my mate. In the same way as I am his, he is mine, and when I'm in his arms, any uncertainty I had about the uneasiness that's still present in my being vanishes. His kisses are enough for me to give him my full attention.I am now ready to give in to my desires. I may be confused about a lot of thing
She had not seen Blaze or Cleo after her dispute with the woman. And for several hours now, her train of thoughts, with each passing instant, is making her feel even more anxious than before. A lot of questions and what-ifs are going on in her mind, even if she doesn't want to. She is feeling very scared at the moment of the possibility that, in the end, everything will not turn out to be what she wanted.But this is so wrong. She knew that this wasn't how it was supposed to be. As Quen earlier pointed out, they have already found out that Cleo is lying about the pregnancy. The baby and everything are all a product of Cleo's wild imaginations and her made-up stories; therefore, she shouldn't be feeling this way. The reports that Quen and his men managed to get will take care of Blaze and her troubles all by themselves, right? It should be, but why is it that there is anxiety inside of her?
Blaze snapped at Cleo, his booming voice reverberating in the room. "How dare you! You are such a liar!" He is trying his best to control himself to no avail, but what he learned just a few minutes ago is making him react this way.Quen arrived just to stop him from sending Cleo home when she was ready to depart and his friend gave him the most amazing news: Cleo is not pregnant with his child; in fact, she is not pregnant at all. And everything she just said is a made-up story.He had waited for this validation for so long. Cleo definitely prepared well for her lies, but consequently, not too well to keep his men from knowing the truth. Yes, the news is fantastic, but he can't help but feel enraged with the woman in front of him, who appears to be too shocked to even respond to him.He notices that Cleo is frighten
