After getting dressed I waited patiently in the room, Xander and I were not allowed to see each other before the ceremony.I was feeling jittery, the high slit of my dress was making me uncomfortable, but I was excited too. I wanted Xander to see me in this dress, I wanted his appreciation.After what felt like a century, Aunt Mary came, she smiled at me and for a second I started missing my mother.This was supposed to be her right, but maybe in another life or in another world, I will have her by my side.A lone tear rolled down my eyes, but I wiped it down before Aunt could notice it, but she saw it nevertheless.“Don’t shed tears, my child, this is a happy occasion.” she patted on my shoulder.We both left the room and headed toward the gathering.“Only tears that should be in your eyes today should be of pleasure,” she whispered as we entered the hall.My eyes widened at her and she winked at me.As we both entered the hall, the room parted for me, in two perfect halves.There in

“You can’t have s*x with me because I am a virgin?” I asked cautiously, again thinking about my next move.I didn’t know if I was moving in the right direction or not. But right now I really didn’t care.I wanted Xander and my virginity will not be the one getting in my way.Rather, it would be a stepping stone for it.He took a deep breath as if the answer pained him.“I don’t want to pressurize you into something you don’t want to do. I want you when you are ready, not when we both are acting crazy in the lust haze.” he replied, making me confident.“So you want me?” I asked again“So much that it pains me to say no to you.” he grunted.I came forward and kneeled in front of him, without touching him.“You know, nobody ever touched me like that, you were the first man to see me n*ked.” I purred as I rubbed his bulge inside his pants.“Stop, Grace.” He hissed and held my wrist to make me stop.“I have never seen anyone’s cock let alone feel it. If you won’t teach me, someone else wil

I was answered with a dark chuckle.Xander leaned closer to me and whispered, “I won’t let them near my mate, you smell way too delicious for your own good.”My heart skipped a beat and I started blushing more intensely.“How are you feeling today?” he asked, changing the topic.“Little sore, but all good,” I answered honestly.“I would be angry if you were not,” he said smugly.“What?” I asked.“Yeah, if you weren’t sore that means I didn’t satisfy you. That would have made me very angry and sad at the same moment.” He answered.At first, I was a little shocked but what harm it caused to indulge in a light teasing battle.“I am not that sore, maybe you weren’t that good. Alpha” I teased him, as we neared my office.“You are playing with fire, you might get burned.” He warned.“Maybe, but that would make me brave.” I smiled at him as my office building came into view.“Or a little dumb.” He remarked.“Now, that’s not a good thing to say to your mate. I might get angry with you.” I pou

In a record time of twenty minutes, I headed downstairs. But not before hiding the claw marks on my throat.Logan did a number on me and I didn’t want people to see me and think that I was vulnerable.I noticed there were a lot of people standing in the reception area.I was confused about what was going on that there were so many people looking outside, afraid that Logan was still outside. I rushed toward the gate.But there was no Logan.In fact, there was nothing alarming.There by the door of the car, was standing Xander in his business style suit, looking sleek and muscular.I noticed many women were looking and smiling seductively at him.I gritted my teeth and something akin to jealousy ran through my body.I could hear Lana laughing but I was not listening to my senses.I marched toward Xander and his eyes lit up when they landed on me.I stopped close to him and placed a soft kiss on his cheek, placing my hand on his chest.He was a little surprised and it was evident from hi

Amidst the ocean of reporters, I locked eyes with Daniel. His eyes were narrowed at me and a clear indication that I couldn’t reveal the truth to the outside, even though the pack knew. The Council knew. But I was not allowed to tell the truth to the outside world.But I wasn’t going to expose them, because doing so would not only harm him but also me. I will be losing my mother’s bracelet. And I would kill before I let Emma snatch another thing that’s mine.I took a deep breath and gave them my beautiful, practiced fake smile. I had been trained from childhood to be the Luna of the Pack and always knew something like addressing the media would happen, so I was ready.“It is indeed true. Logan and I were in a relationship, but I always felt that something was missing from my mate. Even he felt the same, the connection was missing. Then one day he realized that Emma was his true mate and he got confused because of the scent. Emma and I share a parent and this was the reason for the con
