"You’re not 'nobody,' and you’re here now," I said seriously.

She clicked her tongue, clearly frustrated.

When she said the word "not interested," it hit me hard. I thought we were making progress, but she crushed all my hopes with all her answers. She was still pushing me away, and it hurt more than I expected.

I had always prided myself on being a good person. So why am I being punished so harshly?

"But I like this role as your cousin," she chirped. Well, I hated it.

"It made me relax around you," she added, her tone light and casual.

I raised an eyebrow, tilting my head in question.

"Well, no one beds their relatives, right?" she teased, a playful grin on her face.

"But you’re not my cousin," I deadpanned.

"But I could be!" she sang with a bright smile.

"No, you’re not!" I said, keeping my tone serious as I tried to keep my focus.

She waved dismissively at me, clearly unbothered. One day, I’ll bed you wildly, and you’ll never forget it. I inwardly promised myself. The bond bet

    JamesI picked Laila up at eight p.m. on Friday. It was early to hit the club, but I wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Plus, we would have drinks first anyway, so with fewer people around, it would be easier to talk.Due to the rouge mission, we didn’t meet for lunch today, but I liked how we had started making it a ritual. The mission had been only partially successful, as we managed to eliminate one branch but didn’t get to the core. We captured a few rogues to interrogate and gather more information about their main base.My thoughts shifted back to Laila. I could feel my mate becoming more comfortable around me. She was more relaxed, more at ease. Gone was the uptight attitude from last week. That, in my opinion, was a significant improvement. Despite the tension we’d had earlier, she didn’t hold any grudges or push me away.I believed Laila had started to grow attached to me. On Thursday, she even touched me while walking beside me and talking. The sparks zinged t

    JamesMy protective instincts kicked in, and I growled softly, barely audible over the music. Laila, quick on her feet, stepped back and shook her head, signaling that she wasn’t interested. The guy continued dancing but at a distance.This was it. I had to claim her—show everyone she was mine. I hopped off the stool, and in just a few long strides, I was in front of her. She smiled at me. I glared at the guy, and he reluctantly walked away.I gathered every ounce of power I had within me and let it radiate outward. The atmosphere around me shifted, thickening with the weight of my presence. I locked eyes with every male who dared to look her way. Though I wasn’t a ranked wolf, I came from Beta blood, and that gave me strength. The wolves around us submitted, looking away, some nodding in quiet acknowledgment. Humans felt it too, the subtle pressure, and most of them quickly turned their gaze. A few still sneaked glances."What are you doing?"Laila leaned closer, her voice cutting thr

    JamesI took her hand and led her to the bar. Catching the bartender’s eye, I waited as he came over. I sat down on a barstool."Do you want some water again?" I asked."No, virgin mojito please." She said it loud enough for the bartender to hear."Virgin?" I raised an eyebrow, smirking teasingly.She rolled her eyes."Non-alcoholic!" Her tone was slightly annoyed, but I couldn’t help but smile at her."Why mojito?" I asked, curious to learn about her preferences."It’s refreshing, with peppermint and Sprite. I need sugar in my system after all that dancing." She smiled softly as she explained."And by the way, you’re a good dancer. I’m impressed!" She said with genuine approval.Yes! I mentally fist-bumped the air. Her compliments warmed my heart in ways as if I’ve never been praised before."You’re not the first one!" I shot back with a teasing smile. Inside, I was grinning like an idiot. She liked me more and more. I could feel it."Ha ha!" Laila threw her head back in laughter."Go

    JamesWhen she returned to the dance floor, I didn’t follow her. My willpower had been stretched thin. I knew that if I felt more sparks , my control would snap. I’d devour her without hesitation, without a second thought. So, I kept my distance from her tempting body, even as it called to me from the floor.But now? This was different. The first time I genuinely told a girl how I felt, how much I wanted her, and she didn’t believe me. All the charm always worked effortlessly before. But when I confessed my heart to my mate… No. Nada. Nothing. She said I was wasting my breath. Her constant defiance burned under my skin.I was done with her—for tonight, at least."Just come. I’m taking you home."I grabbed her hand and tugged her out of the club toward my car. She didn’t protest, just followed me silently. When I opened the car door and glanced at her, I saw the glare she was giving me. I kept my lips pressed tight.Well, guess what, little mate? I’m not satisfied with you either. Glare

    LailaI woke up to sunlight streaming through my window, its warmth a stark contrast to the dull ache spreading through my body. Stretching across my bed, I groaned as pain radiated from my neck, arms, legs—hell, even my feet and abdomen. Oh, man. I grunted again. Every inch of me hurt.But the dancing… The dancing was so nice. A small smile tugged at my lips.Then, like a stampede of wild elephants, the memories of last night crashed into my mind.His firm grip as he pulled me through the crowd. That smoldering gaze. His body pressed against mine. The heat of his touch. The way his lips grazed my neck… how he lingered, teasing, just before brushing against my lips. My breath hitched.What the f.uck did I do?Groaning, I covered my face with my hands. Stupid, stupid, stupid me. I should have never danced with him. Shouldn’t have taken that tequila shot. And I definitely shouldn’t have let myself hug him. Or kiss his cheek.I’d spent so much time resisting him, keeping my distance, and

    LailaOh.My.God. My brain short-circuited, my thoughts scattered in every direction. Time itself seemed to freeze. His lips were getting closer, and I knew exactly where this was going.His head tilted slightly as he moved in closer, and I couldn't even bring myself to think the word in my head. His eyes stayed locked on mine, then flickered back to my lips, teasing me with every movement. My heart rate spiked, thudding in my chest. He was so close now, I could feel the heat of his body against mine. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as my nerves flared.He seemed... unsure.What? I blinked in surprise. This cocky, confident, ridiculously handsome man was looking at me with a hint of hesitation. Was he... afraid? Was he afraid that I would pull away?The thought made me smirk inwardly. I had him second-guessing himself? Had I knocked him off his game that badly? No, I didn’t like the sound of that. I wanted him bold, not unsure. But despite that, he didn't seem weak.

    LailaMy Sunday was slow—at least until noon. That’s when my boss called, sounding frantic, telling me there was some kind of disaster and begging me to help out with another project due first thing Monday morning.After grumbling and negotiating an extra payment, I agreed. For the next three hours, I typed like my life depended on it, skimming and editing at lightning speed. But by three p.m., the panic set in—I still needed to get ready for my date. I typed even faster, reread everything in record time, and finally hit send.3:20 p.m. I had fourty minutes. I could pull this off.Wasting no time, I jumped in the shower. My head was pounding from all the intense work—hopefully, the hot water would help clear it. I lathered shampoo into my hair and rinsed it out, moving on to shaving. Ugh. Why did this beauty standard even exist? Just sixty or so years ago, women didn’t shave at all, and no one cared. My spiteful self wanted to rebel, but I was too much of a coward to challenge centurie

    JamesI pulled a small black box from my pocket, its white ribbon neatly tied.“I got you something,” I said, handing it to her.She took it with a small smile, her fingers brushing over the ribbon.“Hmm, you did, huh?” she mused. “You know my birthday isn’t until August.”Her teasing tone made me want to roll my eyes, but I held back.“You agreed to go on a date with me. I wanted to get you something. Besides, we’ll celebrate your birthday properly in August—with bigger gifts.”I flashed her a confident smile, but she raised a brow.“In August, I’ll be back in Latvia, so I doubt that.”Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. My breath caught in my throat, and my smile faltered. She was still thinking about leaving—leaving the States, leaving me. I couldn’t bear the thought. One step at a time. Please, I begged whoever was listening.I cleared my throat. “Could you open my gift now?”“Alright, let’s see.”She pulled the ribbon, letting it slip off before pausing. I held my breath as

    JamesI was frantic in my emotions and my heart was beating so fast. How did my mate manage to get herself in such a big sh*t I will never know. But somewhere subconsciously I knew that her big mouth and brutal truthfulness would get her in trouble sooner or later, I guess today was the day.When Alpha boomed down the link "Your mate is in trouble. Packhouse. Now", I ran like never before in my life across the field from the training ground. I just dropped a message through the mindlink for another warrior to continue the training and shot further with all the speed that my wolf supplied for me as he was equally worried about our mate.When Laila stepped out and started to walk towards Klaid, who was seething, I saw his fists were tight, and he angrily clenched his jaw until, at one moment, he shifted to his wolf, who growled equally angry. On pure instinct I wanted to follow, but Alpha put a hand on my chest.- Wait. If he truly attacks her, we will both step in.Alpha said lowly. I

    LailaI woke up slightly disorientated as I took in my surroundings. Right, I'm at the pack house of werewolves. Though it will soon be a month since I was here, it still felt strange to say it. I stretched like a cat and lazily looked around the room. It was empty as usual, as James should be at training now, or maybe he was sent to another mission; I'll find out soon. I looked at the ceiling mindlessly and remembered the walk in the forest with James and later with his wolf yesterday. I loved his wolf's fur, he had such a soft coat, I just wrapped myself around him and buried my nose into his wool. He had the animalistic smell, but it wasn't that bad. I softly smiled at the memory.I sighed, it was still strange, even weird and partly unbelievable that he was a werewolf, that I now lived in a werewolve community. As most of the time I spoke with their human parts, it felt like I was surrounded by humans, it felt normal, but every time I saw a wolf or someone shifting, it still felt

    - I could say something nice to most of the people in this room.She retorted back at him equally dissatisfied but still defiant.- Go ahead then!Lucas encouraged her with a hand gesture but slight mockery in his tone. There was a moment of silence from Laila while everyone looked expectantly at her. I was wondering will she back out of the challenge. Then she twisted her body over mine to see Alpha.- I think it is very nice of you to try to be more approachable to your pack members as you join the meals now and hang out with us here. I've heard many good things about that in the halls and the kitchen, wolves are truly happy about it.Laila said very sincerely to Alpha who nodded at her after the compliment. Then she turned to Fay and Lucas.- Fay, thank you for trying so hard to look after me when James is not in the house. I see you as my sweet little sister. I feel that your personality is still a bud, so I hope you will allow yourself to bloom into a beautiful flower and be who

    JamesI entered the packhouse and my nose steered me towards the lounge area where my mate's scent came the strongest. As I approached I could already feel her through the bond and my heart squeezed in longing. I pushed through the doors and my focus was only on her. I was genuinely happy to see her as a bright smile shone on my face on its own accord, and my joy increased as Laila's features softened and a bright smile bloomed on her face, meaning she was happy to see me too. I plopped next to her not very satisfied that she was sitting on the same sofa as our unmated Alpha but I didn't make a fuss about it now. Instead, I pulled my mate closer and inhaled her fresh smell deeply until I felt dizzy. I sighed happily and pecked her lips, seeing her eyes shining at me.- Speaking of the devil...I heard Lucas mumble under his breath.- Am I the devil?I asked him back to which he grinned.- Are you gossiping about me?I asked the obvious.- He was prying into our relationship.Laila poin

    Laila - Do you like it here? Kate interrupted my train of questions as I studied Fay. - “Here” as in this living room with your group, as in your werewolf community, or as in this city or country? I asked back for clarification. - As in our pack, in this packhouse. She specified. - Well, it feels like I am back in the dorms. It’s okay. I said as I saw that Kate still had questions on her face. - I guess I prefer to live in my place that is separated from everyone. It helps me to recharge and rest better. But it’s ok. I understand the reasons why James chose to put us here, so… What can I do? I’m just a guest here. I explained. - Is that how you feel? Kate asked surprised. - Yes? Was it a different reply than you expected? I chuckled nervously. I can say it again, I hate being fake but seems that people here can't take my honest replies sometimes. - Well, I guess I hoped you would say that you feel great here. Kate said sadly. - Sorry to disappoint. I said quietly. -

    LailaSo this was my new life's routine. I ate meals together with the pack members, worked till evening, and then tagged along with Fay, as she came to collect me on days when James was not coming home early, which was almost every day. Most of the time I was silent and just observed and listened to others talking about pack life, their training, and some news as to who improved in sparring or who met his or her mate. Lucas and Kate usually tried to pull me into the conversations but depending on the topic it flowed or it died down.I wasn't used to being nonstop crowded and interacting with so many people all the time, and I could feel it started to strain me. The more tired I got from social interactions, the less I talked, and my answers became more clipped.As we entered the lounge room I rushed to sit in the corner next to Lucas. I was tired of always sitting next to the brooding Ayden. Fay followed me and sat next to me, pressing against my thigh as she didn't want to touch Luc

    Laila - So, Laila, what do you do in your free time? Lucas changed the subject drastically, and I was grateful to him for it. I looked at Fay as we smiled, knowing we had this conversation before. On weird but perfect synchronicity, I and Fay said: - Picks fungus. - Play piano. That made Lucas turn to Fay with a frown: - Picks fungus? While at the exact same moment, Ayden turned to me and asked with a frown: - Play piano? And at the end, Fay turned her face away from Lucas to me with a surprised face: - You play piano? The perfect timing of talking made most of the people, sorry, werewolves chuckle, including me. - Wait, start with the fungus. Lucas demanded with a nod of his chin towards me. - It's nothing. In my country, we have a lot of forests, so when late summer slash autumn comes many people go and pick mushrooms. I grew up in the middle of the forest, and as mom still lives there, we do it every year. I said with a shrug. - We know all the best spots for the ch

    Laila It was Wednesday evening and I was still typing on my laptop trying to finish the last things so I could wrap up for the day in half an hour or so. I knew James would be gone till late at night on another secret mission of his. I didn't know what I would do later but I didn't want to work extra just because I didn't have a plan for the evening yet. A soft knock surprised me as I looked at the doors. Who was visiting me? Did someone need something from me? It wasn't dinner time yet for Kate to come... - Come in! I shouted from the sofa hoping I left the door open. I saw the door handler bend but the doors didn't open. - Shoo! I cursed and put the laptop on the sofa while hurrying to the door. As I opened it I was surprised to see Fay standing there. - Hey! What a surprise! I said as she waved at me with a soft "Hi!". - Sorry about that! I was working and too lazy to open the door, so I hoped I left them open, but no. Sorry. I rushed to explain to her as she smiled at me

    After some time, I felt his fingers opening my folds and his tongue slipped in my v*gina, making me inwardly frown. I felt his tongue coming in and out several times until I propped my body on my elbows and pulled my hips slightly sideways so he couldn't get access. - What are you doing? I asked confused but curious. - I'm tongue f*cking you! What? I saw his white teeth grinning at me as the light from the window hit him. I frowned again. - That's gross. Why would you do that? I asked, concerned. - Gross? No. You are sweet as honey, and I want to pleasure you in any way possible. He replied smiling while brushing his fingers over the erogenous zones on my thighs, making tingling sensations and distracting me. - Well, your tongue is too small and short for me to feel any proper sensation, and as I don't feel comfortable when you just did it, so can you not? When you lick my cl.it is all amazing, I love it. I tried to convince him there was no need for strange experiments. Good
