James
- Mr. Montgomery, thank you for inviting me for the dinner. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, it has been a long day and I will take my leave now.
What? She became completely formal and cold to me. I jumped up from my seat making my chair fall on the floor which startled some other customers that were sitting near us. I was speechless. What is going on? She nodded her head to me as a sign of respect and goodbye. Then she started to move towards the door.
- No! Wait! Stop!
I got my voice back and ran to her and grabbed her by her elbow to stop her. I turned her towards me. The electrical sparks that shot through my skin burned my body even more with desire but I had to get my head out of my d*ck. Literally. She looked at her arm where my hand was holding it and then slowly turned her gaze up to me. Her eyes said it all. She was angry and pissed and probably even livid. I could hear her voice in my head saying to me “How
JamesIt was Monday morning when I entered the kitchen fresh after shower. The morning training was the perfect way to release my frustration after the disastrous date. It was the second time in a few weeks that I scr*wed up things. Lucas noticed my sour mood as he was eating dirt again and again. He commented about me being upset a lot, but I just growled and kept on sparring. I remember how he danced with Laila and kicked his *ss badly. As we were cousins with Lucas, we were pretty evenly matched. Though he was the Beta of the pack, most of the time it was 50/50 who won the sparring matches. But today I was p*ssed and upset so I gave everything I got in the training. It did help. I felt I unwound most of the pent-up energy.As I entered the kitchen, my family was sitting around the breakfast table. I plotted down on the closest chair and huffed. All the heads turned to me and four pairs of eyes looked at me with several questions swirling in them. I
LailaWorking days ran by as I had a lot of things to do. There was a certain someone in the background of my thoughts, but I kept on ignoring and cutting his mental image. It usually helps, but he persistently stayed at the back of my mind. My thoughts just kept on drifting back to him. It was annoying for me. He was annoying me even when he was not around. Was he truly annoying me? My consciousness was digging for the truth. It doesn't matter. He was invading the space in my head. I wasn't an obsessive girl. My life didn't rotate around men. I enjoyed my life alone as well. I didn't need an intruder. So I distracted myself as much as I could.Though I usually check social media once a week at the weekends, I was a bit bored and sought distractions. As I checked my account, I saw a friend request. And what do you think? It was him again- James Montgomery. I scrunched my nose. I clicked on his profile picture. There he was in all his muscular glory in
James We were sitting in another vegetarian-friendly place I found online and waiting for our food to arrive. I looked at Laila with a satisfied smile. - So... A million reasons why Latvia is the best country in the world? I said, with a teasing smile. Her eyes widened. - Oh no! You found that? She hid her face in her palms. And then looked at me again. - Well, that's the ugly truth about my country. She said with a nod. - Did you understand it? She asked with curiosity. - Most of it yes, I did. I replied. - Did you have fun? She asked in a teasing manner. - Yes, I did. And many things I could relate with. People make similar failures here as well, so you are not the only ones. I winked at her. - Good to know. She said with a nod and soft smile. - I like to see that you are more laid back me. More playful. I said thoughtfully. - Well... As I said before thinking of myself as your cousin made me relax. She said with a nod. Oh no, did she put me in a platonic love co
JamesHer eyebrows knotted together in a frown. I saw confusion, disbelief and shock on her face. I said too much. I know. I am freaking her out. As always. She is just a human. She doesn’t understand my world, the mate bond, my true interest in her.- I want you to be my girlfriend.I’m trying to correct what I just said.- James…She said in a warning tone that I hated already.- What?I said in an irritated tone. It came out as a low shout.- You know that I’m leaving the States in just a few months.I know that. I know for Pete’s sake!- You will be here for more than 5 months. I want to spend all this time with you. And I want you to be my girlfriend. We have had a great time together this far! Haven't we?I asked hopefully.- Being friends is different than being in a relationship.She replied while looking seriously at me. Did she friend-zone me? F*ck! All my life, since my teen years, many girls have wanted to be my girlfriends. And now? My OWN mate friend-zoned me. I’m f*ckin
JamesAs I inhaled her amazing scent of fresh hay that has dried fast in the hot sun, I lost myself. At the same time, I found myself. I was calm and collected and so was my wolf. He happily purred in the background satisfied with having his mate close. Delicious sparks were dancing on my chest and stomach, and arms. I loved it. Having a mate was definitely the most amazing thing in this life.I kept on inhaling her scent starting to feel even a bit sleepy. Sound sleep was still not my friend as I didn’t have my mate by my side at night. Suddenly, she pulled away making our hug short. I was in physical pain from the loss of contact, from the loss of her body on mine. Even in my heart, it felt like I was losing her. Her face was a bit startled and I wonder what was that about. - I have a special task tomorrow, so I can't have lunch with you. But would you like to go dancing at night?I asked hopefully. She looked at me with a blank expression.- What day is tomorrow?She asked.- It's
JamesWhen I woke up I straight rushed to check on Laila. But she was already up and gone from her room. With her being next door I couldn’t sleep last night. I was thinking, fighting with myself and my carnal desires. I had to wrestle with my wolf in my mind for control as well. He was determined to mark and mate her at that moment. He was done waiting. But I had to stay back. I had to give her space. Our relationship was not in that stage yet. I snoozed off when the sun was up already.I followed her scent and found her sitting on the kitchen island. My parent had an amused smile playing on their lips. They probably hoped for some action from our side… Goddess... I don’t wanna think about it. I turned to Laila.- Gooood morning beautiful! I was hoping to wake up before you.She shrugged with lips stuck out. Her hair was still messy from the sleep. She looked tired. But she looked so cute as well. She went downstairs straight from the bed. She was still in my t-shirt and my sister’s p
LailaIt was late Sunday morning and I was texting on Wh*tsA*p to my sister. My phone started to ring and the "James The Idiot" name popped on the screen. I smiled at the name. Now that I think about it, he was a bit of an idiot. A fool that followed me and tried to swoon me.- Yes?I asked as I picked it up. I wasn’t a “hello” person.- Hey! How are you today?James' cheerful voice greeted me at the other end of the line.- Well… I’m better. I slept, so I... refreshed.I said slowly. It wasn’t a total lie. I did rest. Some. All the other time I spent brainwashing myself on why I couldn’t and shouldn’t even be friends with James. The more time I spent with him, the more I got attached to him. He was slowly making his way into my heart. It was easy to like him and his personality. It was easy to enjoy his company. So, I guess partly unconsciously, I had started to live in dreams and fantasies about ifs, coulds and woulds that were not possible in this harsh reality. I would never live
James As she talked, I melted into her closeness. I loved that look and softness in her voice. I wished she would look at me with such a dreamy smile. But all I got most of the time were frowns, wrinkled eyebrows, verbal assaults, or... Oh, Goddess, she was soooo frustrating me when she opened her mouth. But like this, she was the magic to be adored. - And quite many times I have concluded how much my mind has a narrow point of view or some very limited angles or ideas. And it is even with the simplest things. She kept on sharing and then turned to me. - Like when you think of the word 'forest', what is the first thing that comes to your mind? She asked. I didn't have to think long for an answer. - Definitely the forest near our house. The flush greenery of mixed trees. I practically grew up there running, playing with my friends, and going on camp trips with my family. I replied. It wasn’t only that. For my wolf, the forest was his true home. So, naturally, it was my second hom
- 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
Laila I was asleep until I felt the bed dip and strong arms pulled me by my waist towards a hot and rockhard chest. I sighed inwardly and relaxed. I was relieved that James was here. It wasn't easy to fall asleep on my own in this new room in the strange packhouse. After spending some hours in the library reading random book covers and indulging in a few of them, I came back to the room. I was restless, so I decided to do what I should have done a long time ago. I called my sister and told her about the new circumstances I was living in and how overprotective of my safety James was. She screamed excitedly when I confessed I was together with James. Though she was worried about me living in a close-knit community thinking I got myself involved in some kind of sect. How else could I explain the circumstances? I couldn't tell her about werewolves or the packhouse. I skipped the part about me living with James' family for two weeks because I didn't have a normal reason why I moved again.
Laila - So Alphas are the blue blood of werewolf packs, yes? I asked, changing the subject. - Blue bloods? He questioned the terms I was using. - Yeah, like the royals and kings that used to rule. The title was always passed down to the eldest son or the next one by age if the need arose, and sometimes to the daughter, if she was the only child. It's not even a question of whether the person's slash werewolf's personality or character is suitable to rule, to be the leader. It's just a birthright. I question the system again. - Yes, it is like but for us it is due to genetic abilities. Unfortunately, you are right, because there are some shitty Alphas who are everything but good leaders. Ayden supplied his answer seriously. - So, I should call you 'Your Majesty', huh? I teased him a little bit to lighten the mood. - No. He cuts me off with a dark look. My face softens and a wicked smile blooms at the left corner of my mouth. There is just something when a werewolf tells me "
