CHAPTER 36.LAURAI Heard someone stop at the door and it wasn't Steve.I could because I was getting the whole aura from him, the same as it had been with the aura.At first, I was startled at the fact that he was outside my door and just when I saw the handle turn I clutched my duvet to myself tightly, my heart beating heavily within me.Unease drifted through my body like electricity was going through me, it kindled in me a flame.This time I could sense him so close, so close that all I had to do was open my door and see who it was but I stayed right there on the bed unable to move.Suddenly it looked like I was surrounded by Silence, the foyer that was once filled with people had no one but was completely blank amidst the heavy beating that came from my heart… It was so quiet I could hear the man's heart beating like it was in my chest.Just when I thought he would open the door, he took another step back as if to get some footing, then I only heard him walking away, some kind
STEVE.It came with complications but I was most definitely surprised seeing that too, at first when the message had popped in it was hard for me to believe.I had sensed that something was wrong, I knew this immediately I had seen her that first day at that cabin.The mate mark was right there at the side of her neck but I didn't think much about it till this moment.Immediately the message came in and it became glaring that my suspicions were true, she was just not for anyone…she was for my friend Delvin.I couldn't wait for him to leave, so I could have a long talk with my beta.All through this while the plan had been going in well, I was doing all I could to have her to myself and last night looked like my plan was walking perfectly.Immediately he did. I made my way to the room where Beta was waiting after he texted me."Are you sure of what you sent?""Never been more sure of anything."I sat back in my chair and cracked my knuckles. It wasn’t until then that Irecognized the r
I had to suspect something was wrong but at the same time it looked more like I was overthinking things all through my stay at his apartment.It all started after the feeling I was getting all throughout my stay, at the back of my mind I could tell that a part of my soul was hovering around and while it seemed detached it was totally mine.I paced around my room still thinking about the whole situation…It would be crazy for me to think I could find peace right? When all that filled my mind was turmoil.What I had done was unforgivable.If there was an explanation for anything that was going on in my mind it would definitely be the fact that Karma was paying me back for something I did.It wasn't really the fact that I didn't like her, though that had a part to play in everything that might have happened—it was just a state of me merely trying to act dominant and taking it to another level.Walking away from the window, I picked up a bottle and walked away the other way into the ro
DELVINAll I did was wait the whole time looking Oscar face as we spoke about everything I wanted, there was a need for me to do exactly that before I totally lose control over the way her absence was making me feelMy gaze found that blond man with indifference no matter what I thought about him, it didn't change the fact that men like that only did thing's for money and it wouldn't take a lot to sway his mind as well.I handed him a brown envelope and he smiled sheepishly."How long would it take to find her?" He asked to know.I Wanted to know how long it was going to take, and what it would cost me to wait as at that moment it looked like it was going to be a bit difficult finding her.He puffed out from his cigar while still looking at me, I couldn't tell what was going through his mind…"Time— It would cost time and effort, it would have been easier if you had her picture." He said puffing out again.In a way he was right, but talking about the pictures there was no way I was g
STEVEAt one point on life you are left with making decisions, whether good or bad turns this was one of those points for me, this was one of those point in life when I know that what I want to do was bad and most definitely would get someone hurt at the end but at the same time despite being left with the decision whether to avoid it or do it anyway turned out I was doing it anyway.It felt sinful and like betrayal, but nothing for me was above respect and power, not even love. My sister's words should have left a bit of dread in my stomach because it left something entirely different.At the moment, I couldn't face Laura, not with the guilt all over my face, it had such an effect on Mr , so much that I could feel it sinking into my skin and sending a wave of uncertainty around in a breathless shiver that made me tremble.I felt a trio of emotion as I walked Into my room, nease,.anticipation, and a sliver of panic that flooded through me with a wave of energy.I knew something abou
LAURAIt was a little bit cold outside which was why I made sure I asked for some hot cocoa along with my dinner to help me through the night.I would have given Steve but he didn’t look like he wanted anything at the moment.I couldn’t concentrate on what I was eating and my whole attention was on Steve and why he wasn’t eating the food.I thought something might be wrong with him because he looked so tense and only took a small amount of his drink.I wanted to ask him immediately but I didn’t want to be too buggy with him so I held myself back hoping that he would eat eventually.Seeing he didn’t touch the food and I was almost done with mine, I thought it would be best for me to ask him what was going on.“Steve.” I called out and he was so lost in thought that he didn’t hear me calling.“Steve.” I said raising my voice which seemed to jolt him back to reality almost immediately.“What?” He asked, looking up at me with a frown.He tried to make his face as plain as possible but I c
LAURAI was still surprised to see Steve, handing a flower over to me. This was surprising, and what was more surprising was the fact that he was asking me to marry him.“Steve?” I called his name, in a low tone.I couldn’t believe this was real. I couldn’t even tell if I was hallucinating or dreaming, but then I pinched myself.“Ouch. That was painful.” I said to myself.Just after I snapped out of my self-dialogue, Dennis walked in, looking baffled as it was certain that he didn’t know what was going on. I looked back at Steve, and he was still on his knees.“Laura, will you marry me?” He asked again.How would he ask me if I would marry him? Didn’t the think that I could say no to this? Hell, this was a bit annoying, and unprepared for. I decided to decline, and reject him, but then on a second thought, I decided to take the ring.“Whoa! Congratulations.” The people playing the orchestra, said.And they played a short song, that was meant for lovers, and people who wanted to tie th
STEVE“What’s going on?”“Did she reject him or what?”“Everyone Calm down, everything is under control.” I said trying my best not to stammer.I felt very confused and I kept on thinking about what I didn’t do right.Was it me?It was hard keeping such an attitude when I knew so many things were running through my Mind.“What’s wrong?” My Sister, Elena, asked walking towards me..“Nothing, Uhm it’s nothing.” I said pulling the top of my shirt because I was feeling too heated up.“Why are you acting up?” She asked to be more Persistent.“It’s nothing, I’m okay.” I staggered.“If something is wrong you can tell me. Is it because of Laura? Or something else is on your mind? Either way you know you can tell me..”“I Said it’s nothing okay? I just need my space.” I said walking to the entrance.“Arrrrgh.” I muttered outLaura.I could not take her off my mind no matter how hard I tried. I knew Thai was the least of my problems but she kept on popping on my head.Why did she do that to me?
LAURASteve has been staring at me since we left the house and I was feeling more and more uncomfortable, one wouldn't blame me as it was hard to trust this man after what he had done.He looked mesmerizing I must say and I was afraid he’d do something again and I was trying to avoid being in that situation again.If this was the price to pay, I most definitely would …it was just one party— dinner anywaysHe hurried in front of me to open the car door and I raised a perplexed eyebrow at him, if I wanted my forgiveness he had to do a lot more than that.I forced a little grateful smile before slipping into the car in gratitude and I guess it sparked something off him.I glanced up at him when I realized he was still staring at me. He looked like he wanted to say something but decided against it —Finally, he closed the car door and turned around to the other side still with that strange look.“I’m sorry about what… you know, what I did to you.”He didn’t want to say it but I knew h
LAURAThe moment I heard a knock on the door my mind kept drifting off on who it could possibly be, my phone was still there in my hands as my heart was heaving in rage as I walked slowly.Just as I guessed…Steve was right there again, I wonder to myself why he didn't always get the cue to stay away.He had been on my neck ever since we got back and at this moment I was starting to feel rather frustrated from his antics."Can we talk?" He asked but I was in no mood for long speeches .I stood there akimbo looking deep into those eyes with dark edge's.He had been drinking again, the stench of alcohol gave him away easily."I—" I was about speaking when he merely brushed past me.I couldn't help but imagine what was going through his mind at the moment.I looked back at him as he walked into the room , I could have sworn that I had a bit of disdain but it was all just that, I couldn't help the feeling…I sighed in relief when he moved toward the open window rather than toward me as I
LAURAEven after we arrived home, I tried all I could to stay as far away from Steve as the house could permit. After everything he did to me, the last thing I wanted was to be anywhere near him. He of course tried multiple times to get close to me but I simply just shut him out or shut the door in his face.That was the best thing to do in a situation like this. I couldn’t stand Steve and I am afraid if I was anywhere near him at the moment, I could say hurtful things to him that I won’t be able to take back. Heck I felt so bitter and dreaded even coming close to seeing his face. Whenever I happen to see him around the house, there is this hurtful feeling that tugged at my heart and urged me to strangle him to death after I told him just how much I hated and despised him for doing what he did. So to avoid all these, I took the best decision of just staying inside my room and only stepping out of it when utterly and completely necessary.As I lay on my bed, rolling from one side of it
STEVEI Couldn't help but feel a kind of guilt and it was hard to explain as I had taken advantage of a woman I claimed to love while in my full senses as much as I liked to think about it, it was hard to erase my mind from it at the moment.We drove in silence back home, Laura stayed glued to a spot.Though she had later given in to the sex, we had I could see that what happened really broke her.I wanted her even if a lot of things are tied down to the fact that I had lots of benefitsStill it hurt to see her that way, I wished that I could just take away the feelings she was having and erase the last few hours.Music played slowly from the radio as condensation trickled down the car glass.My soul shrinked deeper into the dark spot it was unnoticed.What more could I get from all of this?There was a desire for me to eradicate my sick feeling yet it made me realize there was more to all of this.Still at the back of mind was the call—I said something funny about looking in her di
DELVIN I looked around and I was back in my room as my head was aching badly.I couldn’t sit up straight because of the sharp pain in my head. I tried to shrug it off but it felt like my head was pounding.I gathered up strength and finally sat up. I remembered what happened the previous night and how I started feeling dizzy after taking that particular drink.What was in the drink?As soon as I took it, I started feeling dizzy and tired and it felt like the whole bones in my body suddenly stopped working for a while.I thought it was just a coincidence and I sat down but it didn’t get any better.Instead it became worse and it was like the more time it took, the more effect it had on me. I kept on thinking to be sure I didn’t take anything too strong before taking the drink.I wanted to be sure that I wasn’t making any mistake but before I knew it, I already lost consciousness and now I was back in my room.I looked around but I couldn’t find my phone anywhere near me so I just stop
LAURALaying on the bed, all that flashed through my mind was the fact that I had just been abused by this man—In a way I couldn't think about why he had done this, the fact that I had given myself to him flashed across my mind, I couldn't help it.For what seemed like a minute, I was right there, clutching the duvet close to my Chest in disbelief.A part of me wanted to turn back the hands of time. Deep down I hoped he didn't have to deal with me this way, all it took my mind back to was Delvin.Steve tried to touch me but I stiffened and moved away from where he was."Don't touch me ." I flitched .He withdrew his hands and the contenance on his face showed him sorry.I wasn't going to be treated this way, there was no way I was going to take him as a fool."I am sorry." He apologized.The muscles in his long back flexed, and I watched his from where I was wondering what he is going to do at this next moment.My heart was beating lightly, at the moment I could expect anything from
DELVIN There was always one side to being a werewolf I despised. Not being able to choose the one we loved. I stood in front of a bar at night, blinking neon lights taunting me.I'd recently been mated. This was going to be our first date. I didn't have any reason to hate her, matter of fact, it was unheard of to hate your mate.Still, something in the way she carried herself, the cunning glint to her eyes, her faux demure... It made me detest her with a fury. I took a deep breath as I placed my hand on the bar door handle and pushed it, releasing the breath I'd held in.I spotted her the moment I stepped in. It was hard not to. In a white satin gown with spaghetti straps and a red stiletto heeled shoe.Her hair, a blond bob cut and her tiny lips the same color and shade as her shoe. She looked like a fresh out of highschool virgin, in the midst of biker gangs and strippers.It irked me and she knew it. Infact, I was sure she chose this location, specifically to get on my nerves. The
Steve's POVI drove slowly towards the beach house as the scent of the ocean filled my nostrils. I knew I was going to have a wild ride with Laura but she wouldn't just let me easily and I had to find a way to make her, no matter what.I don't know why but even her looks alone seems to drive me crazy. She was dressed ready for the beach house in her net shirt revealing her bra and bum short and it was seducing me, making me hard but I knew I had to control myself till we get into the house."We're here." I said and she pushed the door open and just then, it hit her arm."Ouch." She moaned. Even her moans were enough to make me go crazy. Damn she's so hot.As soon as she got into our room to settle down, closed the door behind me, locking it tightly. "What are you doing Steve?" She asked with a shocked expression and I just licked my lips as my eyes scanned her body from head to toe."Come here Laura. I want you." I commanded but she refused mumbling some excuses even she couldn't hea
LAURA It was a beautiful and sunny day to be in the mall. I had to get some items so I decided to take Dennis along with me. He was in a blue pair of shorts and a red shirt. He was murmuring words as I held him by his hand as he tagged along. Dennis gets too excited at the slightest provocation, and I wasn’t ready to lose him in the huge crowd. I knew he didn’t like to be held, he often likes to be free and I wasn’t giving him that.“Mommy! Look!” He hollered which made me lose focus. Before I knew it, I already saw his little legs moving so fast towards the elevator. I saw Delvin at the entrance of the elevator, it looked like he was just stepping out of it. It made my heart boil as I ran in order to meet up with Dennis. I wondered what got Dennis so excited that he ran towards him. This made me very worried and concerned for him because that was the same thing he did when Delvin came to my house. I wondered why he felt so comfortable around Delvin.I watched as Dennis fell flat on
