KATRIONA remembered me and she was out to hurt me back. To deny me. And worse, to erase me from her system and from her life.I wanted to push it and tell her that what she heard in the basement was not real. She must have been thinking that just like everyone else, I tricked her. But after seeing how she broke down, after remembering how she looked at me with those dead eyes, I had to restrain myself.She had been too broken that whatever I say now would not help with her pain. I don’t think she would believe me either. And she had every right not to believe in me. She was protecting herself… from me. I was relieved that she had learned how to value herself more.Still, it hurt like hell. But I will take all the pain she would throw my way as long as she was alive and I get to see her safe and sound. I would rather we fight like this than not have anything at all with her.Clyde was right. Katriona was taking her revenge. She wanted to break me. That was my intention, too, when I to
(Katriona)I WISHED my body could lie as effectively as my mouth. But even now, I couldn’t deny the tingling between my legs. My body was a traitor. I thought I was just craving food again. But once this bastard started touching me, I realized that the one I was craving for was him. No food could satisfy me because it was him that I wanted.If I try hard enough, I know I could push Alexander away. And yet, I wasn’t doing that. Instead, I had been fighting the urge to run my fingers through his hair, to remove his hair tie, and mess it up a little.My body, at the moment, was a hopeless case for this man.It didn’t help that Alexander’s eyes had become darker as he watched my every move like a predator waiting for his chance to pounce on his next victim.“You’re a pervert, do you know that?” I said in a hoarse voice.“Only for you. Besides, whether you admit it or not, you love me more because of it.” He tossed the melted ice cream in a nearby trash bin before he casually wiped my han
(Alexander)KATRIONA’S body was the definition of sin. She tasted like sin, too. And if she would not stop looking at me with those beautiful needy eyes, my cock might tear through my pants.From here, I could see her pink and glistening flesh. If only she wouldn’t curse me more, I would have destroyed the door the first time I heard her moan my name. I was just outside their estate, staring up at her room, and waiting for her to turn off the lights.Duke had been texting me, calling me that I looked like a homeless idiot all thanks to one of my men who sent him pictures of me while acting like a lovesick bastard. He must have terrorized Gregor-his spy for today-to send him pictures so he could make fun of me again.Gregor was supposed to keep guarding the Aldana estate with me but I kicked him out for a while and made him run twenty laps as punishment for selling me out to my uncle.Aside from sex, pissing the hell out of me seemed to be Duke’s next mission in life. He was my biggest
WHEN I opened my eyes, I immediately searched for Katriona by my side but she was no longer in the bed. I would have been alarmed if I didn’t hear the sound of water dripping in the bathroom. She was taking a shower. I glanced at the digital clock and was surprised to find out that it was now past seven in the morning. I hadn’t slept this long since we stopped sharing the same bed.Sleeping has been a struggle for me for the past weeks.I wouldn’t have woken up yet if not for that little evil thing vibrating on the bedside table. It was Katriona’s phone. I reached for the damn gadget when it wouldn't stop vibrating. Who the heck was calling her this early anyway?My brows furrowed when I read the name on the screen.Crazy Bastard Number Two. I swallowed. I was suddenly afraid to ask who was number one. I knew I wouldn’t like the answer. Once again, I stared at the bathroom.Angry women are certainly dangerous women.I hit the answer button and before I could speak, t
ALEXANDER and I stood next to each other. The pain in his eyes mirrored mine. My chest was pounding as I pointed at the door.“Get out.”His jaw clenched. Without another word, he turned his back on me. He opened the door like he couldn’t wait to leave while I went back to the bathroom to calm myself. When I heard the door closed, I turned on the faucet and splashed water onto my face, hoping it would calm me down.It did not.I wiped my face with a towel. But after a few seconds of staring at my reflection in the mirror, I rushed out of the bathroom and then the door opened. Alexander came back.“You are carrying my heir. I deserve to be here with you. I know you are a strong, independent, and a powerful woman but no matter how powerful you are, you can’t magically make a baby on your own. I contributed to that. I participated in the lovely process. And we both enjoyed every minute of it. You can’t just discard me after you’re done using my body. That’s not how it works, Katriona.”M
(Alexander)SHE DIDN’T see me right away but I did. My wolf and my senses were so attuned to Katriona’s presence that I would spot her from miles away. She looked like she had a lot in her mind as she stopped after taking a few steps away from the prison.And then I saw it, that brief moment when she let the old Katriona take over her.She closed her eyes, unclenched her hands, inhaled, and exhaled.Good thing I threatened all the reporters earlier. When they heard the news that Katriona was here, they flocked outside like bees, itching for a scoop and photographs.The Aldanas were a hot topic everywhere in the city right now. It was like they had been hiding near this place. Just a few minutes after Katriona headed inside, the reporters rushed in only to run away after seeing me and my pack.Right now, the area outside was devoid of people. It didn’t help that most of the reporters were beta males. I didn’t want any of them to see Katriona this vulnerable. I didn’t want any of them
MY BODY picked the wrong time and place to be obedient. It moved on its own. Before I knew it, I was already gathering the hem of my dress all the way to my waist. Alexander’s eyes hungrily took me in.His little groan of pleasure filled the car after he eyed the thin lace fabric covering my dripping folds, a strange air of satisfaction clouded his eyes.He didn’t waste another second. He slid my panties aside and rubbed his thumb over my clit while his eyes were back on the road.My moans echoed in his car.“From now on, don’t hesitate to tell me what you need, Katriona. I will provide it for you, especially this,” he said in a stern voice as he rubbed harder against my clit while thrusting his fingers inside me. “Do you understand?”Now delirious of pleasure, I rocked my hips to meet his fingers, forgetting to answer. But all of a sudden, he stopped moving his hand and I almost cried. I opened my eyes and glanced at him; my eyes were glossy with arousal; my body was more sensitive
IN the arms of a liar, I found my truth. Alexander’s arms were wrapped protectively around me. Being lied to for so long was draining. Everyone’s lies kept ringing in my ears, reminding me of all the reasons why I should never trust other people again.But a big part of my heart was whispering to me, telling me to give this thing between me and Alexander one last try.Because in a world full of lies, there was only one truth.When I thought of running away, I thought of him. He was my escape when everyone around me seemed determined to trap me. He was my freedom when they wanted to shackle me. He was my strength when they wanted to weaken me.Alexander kissed my temple and brushed my tears away with the back of his hands. I rested my head on his shoulder.“Get me out of here,” I whispered.“Where do you want me to take you?”“Home.”Alexander froze for a couple of seconds. And when I heard dad’s footsteps, I clutched his jacket and said, “Hurry.”And just when dad had stepped out of
