The enemies around me. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Three days had passed since I had moved into Grayson's room, and during this time I had worn minimal clothing. The days seemed to drag on as I followed the same routine; Wake up, explore the forest, swim, watch Netflix and wait for Grayson to return from his office. I was growing restless and bored, but I was still hesitant to venture off the property, especially since Grayson was still not allowing visitors to the packhouse. Though the days were monotonous, I waited with anticipation for nightfall. As soon as I could hear his car pull into the drive I would race into Grayson's arms and devour him in whatever room we crashed into first. We still hadn't taken the next step in our relationship, taking each other fully, but that didn't mean we were having any less of an amazing time. Each night Grayson took me to new heights, bringing me more pleasure than I thought was possible. I was euphoric, and I hadn't had a single negative thought since the night I decided to give my mate a fair

"Alpha, it's the mutt who spoke against Laila, he's left... He's gone rogue".As soon as those words had left Jaxon's mouth, I could feel Grayson's entire body tense. I could almost swear that the car was vibrating, not because of the engine but from his sheer anger. "WHAT", Grayson roared."He spoke to me via mind link a few minutes ago...", Jaxon hesitated."AND?!", Grayson's anger continued to grow. "Sir... He said to pass on a message to you. 'Tell the Alpha I said good luck, he's going to need it. And to make the most of his bitch while he can'...". Jaxon shuffled on his feet uncomfortably. We both waited anxiously for Grayson to respond, his hands were white as he gripped onto the steering wheel as if his life depended on it."Find him. Find him and bring him to me, alive", Grayson snarled before he sent the car flying down the road and towards the packhouse. I sat in silence,

As I lay in the giant bathtub, I could feel my excitement and nervousness grow. My stomach was fluttering as if a swarm of butterflies had taken over it.Did I really want to use my virginity as a bargaining chip? I couldn't help but wonder. I made sure to prepare myself with only the finest soaps and moisturizers. The bathroom swirled with the delicious scent of vanilla as I dried my hair and carefully applied my make up. As I looked at myself in the mirror, my black hair looked as if it was floating in delicate waves and my eyes betrayed me as my anxiety shone through. I took a few deep breaths before I positioned myself on the bed, waiting for Grayson to come home.  My ears pricked as I was on high alert, I could hear the hum of Grayson's sports car pulling in to the drive and my heart began to hammer away in my chest. My doubts and second thoughts should have been enough to will me away from this plan, but I was already in too deep a

The air around me was tense as I stood close to Grayson, his arm was wrapped around me protectively. My brothers took a step forward and I heard low growls come from Grayson's men as they stood behind Blake and Karter. My eyes shot towards Grayson's hand as he began to lift it, his palm was outstretched as if to halt his men. His eyes were still emotionless as he opened his mouth... I took a deep breath, unsure of what was about to happen. "Thank you for bringing Laila home, and for protecting her". Though Grayson was as unreadable as a concrete wall, his voice held sincerity and gratitude. "We will always protect our sister, whether she's mated to you or not. Though, I'm curious as to why this happened in the first place?", Karter said gruffly. "Aren't you supposed to be the most feared Alpha of all? You can't even handle a little rogue issue without having your mate suffer the blows". Grayson tensed beside me as he kept his self-

When I awoke the next morning, Grayson had already left for the day. I rolled over to snuggle with his pillow and inhaled his intoxicating scent as it danced around me. My mind was still reeling from the events of the past couple of days... Had my father and Grayson really spoken face to face? Last night felt like a dream, to see my family and Grayson together and maintain a somewhat civil manner was bewildering. Not only that, but they agreed to work together to protect me! As I adjusted my eyes to the light that was slowly creeping its way into my room, I searched through my mind for Grayson. I was just about to wish him a good morning when Brynn raced into the room jumped onto the bed. "HEY SISTER, SISTER!", she yelled as she bounced up and down before reaching for me to join her. I shrugged and said, "What the hell" as I joined her, she was in such a jovial mood, who was I to spoil it?"Well let me see!", Brynn squealed with delight.
