All Chapters of The Beasts Substitute Bride: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Last night was the first night spent in peace. There was no glaring from any side and he apologized again for Naomi's behavior. I had a lot to say about that child but I bit my tongue. She was special to me and he'll probably get upset if I said anything. It'll probably be the last time I'll see the girl.We both agreed to sleep on the bed as the couch was no good for us. I made a pillow boundary between us as we slept. Although when I woke up, I was on his side of the bed. I must have rolled to his side.He was not in the room when I woke up. I took a shower and wore pants and a tank top before going downstairs. It was hot today. Winry was the only one at the table. "Hello" I said cheerfully."Paisley" she shouted with a mouthful of bread.Rivka came in with a tray of my breakfast and left us."It's almost like we never see each other except at the table""Right. You're never at home""It gets really boring so I like to spend time with my friends""Are you going anywhere today?""

I feel breathless by the time he pulls away from the kiss and moves lower. I feel his breath on my neck, then his lips caressing the skin between my neck and ear. I lean further into him, my head still tilted so he can continue to kiss my neck.The feeling was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I wanted it to last forever. A shiver runs through my body when I feel his tongue on my skin. My hand moves to his shoulder, trying to hold myself up. He continues peppering kisses along my neck and while I liked it, I wanted to feel his lips on mine again. My hand finds the back of his neck and pulls his lips to mine. He paused for an instant and looked me. I could see the desire raging in his eyes. It was like a blazing inferno that I wanted to consume me while until nothing was left of me. The need I have for him to kiss me. He seemed to read my mind because he smiled and leaned in to grant my silent wish. My lips part as my breath is taken away. I return his kiss and feel his tongue i

I pulled on my pants and fastened the hooks of my small top. The family was gathered downstairs and I was going to join them. Winry said they were having game night. It sounded fun and I wanted to take part. Maybe it’ll take my mind off things for short while. It’s sad my family will never be able to have this ever. There were too many lies and betrayals for me to act like things were as they used to be.I walked slowly down the stairs, making little noise. I heard a loud growl and the sound of something crashing.I paused and listened closely. “You always take part in this” I heard Elowen’s frustrated voice and I guessed who she was talking to. It was Brayan. He was the only one who made her like this.“I don’t want to anymore” Brayan said in a hard voice.“Tell me why. You want to throw away a family tradition because you’re having mood swings?”“It’s not fucking mood swings. I have a lot of things to do” he said in a clipped tone.“Is this because of Paisley?”There was no respon

BRAYANS POVI was so fucking upset. I was boiling in anger but the only thing calming me was that Naomi was safe in bed. It baffled me that Glynnis could do this to her.The orphanage lights were off but the moment I knocked on the door, it was opened."Alpha. Thank goodness you're here. There has been a problem" Glynnis said with panic. She moved back and I entered through the doors."Where is Naomi" I asked her still trying to remain calm."I don't know alpha. She just disappeared""Disappeared?" I asked in anger, my fists tightening by my side. It was hard to remain calm when she was trying to act oblivious of the situation."Yes" she said in a low voice. She couldn't hide her fear.""You expect me to believe that a little girl, under ten ran away from your care?""Yes Alpha. She and a few of the kids got into a fight and I punished all of them. When I went to her bed to check her, she wasn't there""And you didn't alert anyone?""I thought she was somewhere in the compound and s

My eyes opened slowly. My body felt deliciously sore. I wanted to sleep forever. I tried to roll over but the arms holding me tight prevented me from doing so. I had fucked up. The memories of last night replayed in my head. I didn't know what came over me yesterday to make me hunger for him in that manner. But whatever it was, I knew one thing. I wanted it. I wanted him so much. The guilt was eating me up. I betrayed Edel. I promised to wait until after our wedding and I gave it out to the man who was supposed to belong to my sister.I tried to get out of bed again but he grumbled, burying his face in my neck and muttering something. It sent tingled down my spine. "Let me go" I said.His only response was to tighten his arms around me."Do you regret what we did yesterday?" He released me and I sat up while he did the same."Look at me" he cupped my chin."I...""Do you regret it""No" I said in a small voice but I knew he could hear me. It was honestly the truth. I didn't regret
