“Olga?” My whole body jolted in shock and I sat upright. “What the hell? Are you sure? How can that be? God, I had so many questions!” “Shocking,” he replied and to my frustration, Apollo just smiled. He crossed his arms beneath his head and settled on the pillow cozily. “You always have questions.” Shooting him a glare he was used to, I said, “How did Kirill take it?” “Obviously, he took it badly. But I was ready. Nash gave me video evidence of how Olga came to him to give Ivan’s names to the authorities. At that time, he was already with my father and going against Ivan. Olga became furious but she never asked Nash to not go against Ivan. In fact, she gave him some of his secrets and what would be the best way to take him down.” If the revelation that Olga betrayed my father had shocked me, all this information punched the air out of me. “Olga was always my nanny. She loved my parents and she was very protective about me. I never saw her leaving me, except when she went for he
When we reached the Black Moon pack, it was past midnight. Luna Mira had come to the airport. I could sense that she wasn’t alone. The whole pack was with her. I could hear wolves howling in the background. The news that Alpha Jacob had died came faster than us. I clutched Lucas in my arms as Apollo curled his arm around my shoulders and took us out. I came to stand in front of Luna Mira and even though I had coined the words of apology a hundred times in the airplane, I simply couldn’t utter a word in front of her. My throat was choked with emotions, as guilt weighed me down. Because of me, she had lost a lot. She was on the verge of losing her son, but Alpha Jacob went and got him back. And now Alpha Jacob went to recover me. His sacrifice was greatest. He was an alpha wolf who protected his family till he breathed his last. I guess the day I came into the Vries family, the day I was wedded to Apollo, he had accepted me as a part of the Black Moon pack in his own way. Luna Mira s
It had been a month since Apollo had become the Alpha of the pack. He was extremely busy with the pack activities. Taking over was a massive task. With Artemis as his Beta, they had so many things to look into that a day seemed to stretch for twenty-eight hours. And in that time, I saw Apollo only during nights when he would come back home, exhausted and grumpy. He would not let me and Lucas go out of sight until he slept. I could understand the pressure he was having. The positions of The Head Tracker, Head Enforcer of arms were still vacant and he had to fill them soon. Kirill had informed me that Ivan died that night when the attack took place. It was said that he was in his room while the whole carnage took place on the outside, watching his mate, Dahlia. When they forced open his room, he shot himself in the head, his last words being, “I love you, Dahlia.” I mourned my father’s death even though he had been a monster to me. As the days passed, I realized that he was missing m
I was supposed to be the proverbial good girl. The fact that I was even standing in front of a bar was a miracle. To say that I was jittery, was an understatement. I was dreading every bit of it on the inside. It took gargantuan effort to leave home and accompany Nicole over here. Fear poured through my body like a miasma of my nightmares. “Don’t be crazy, Lisa!” Nicole whispered, as she dragged me inside the Black Moon bar. “It’s your nineteenth birthday. You have to come with me!” She flicked her auburn hair back from her shoulders. “I can't come,” I said, feeling extremely uneasy. What if my aunt and uncle came to know? They had gone on a field trip with Alpha Jacob’s men for their new business project. They weren’t supposed to come until tomorrow and they must be thinking that I was asleep, tucked in the bed like a good girl.
I left a shaky breath at the greatest folly I just committed. I talked to a stranger and then told him my real name. Maybe, I should have dashed out of the bar right now, but I don’t know what it was that kept me glued. I felt… attracted. Allured. Heavily. Something that has never happened in my life. Ever.I focused on my Martini like my life depended on it. Maybe it did. So, I sipped to stop myself from doing what I was about to do—steal another glance at him. But I looked anyway.His eyes were haunting. It was as if they would gobble me up whole. Why did he freeze in his place after listening to my name? His throat bobbed. He got down from his chair. I relaxed because I thought he was leaving, but my relief didn’t last a second when he sat on the chair next to me. My heart throbbed so hard that I could listen to it in my head,
The way Apollo’s chest rumbled, it sent vibrations down my back. And his massive erection against the small of my back sent shivers in my belly. I could feel my breasts becoming heavy with need. My breath became shallow. The room was so dark that a small ray of blue light from an advertisement board outside, peeped from an open slit of a curtain lit it up in gray shades. When he set me down on my feet next to what looked like a bed, he slid me down his length. His hold on my nape was so strong that it didn’t leave room for movement. He was too dominating and all consuming. I should have been running from this situation, because I was a good girl. But why was I feeling those delightful tremors down my body? He bent down to lean over my ear and bit my earlobe and grazed his fangs over them. Gods above. Why was I liking it? I was held hostage. Was so
When I woke up next, I felt a heavy weight across my waist. Shit. I must have slept so deeply that I wasn’t awakened by my usual nightmares. I blinked at the dim light of the bedside table lamp. I turned my face to the side and found myself looking into the man who I met last night. My throat became paper dry when I saw that he was naked. I looked down and saw that my gown was still on, bunched up on my waist. Damn it. My heart raced, when I recalled what we did last evening. My eyes drifted from his face to his torso and I saw a tattoo. It was that of a wolf entwined in rose vines with thorns. It covered all of his left chest and a portion of his biceps. It was difficult to look away. It was a tattoo that left me with a lot of questions. But I had to ask them later, that is if we ever meet again. I was resolved never to meet him again. His hair had fallen over his forehead and I had this strong urg
“Sometimes, Apollo teaches football to the young kids!” Nicole said. “Oh shit!” she cried. “He is coming this way. Run and hide!”I managed to look behind and saw that Apollo was coming this way. The crowd parted for him as it fell into a stunning silence.“Run Lisa!” she urged. “I ran as fast as I could, but I was slower. Apollo came to us soon enough and blocked us from running. He stood right in front of me and my eyes zeroed in on his yummy cleft. He stared at me with cold eyes and the moment my gaze shifted to his eyes, I was terrified. My mind goaded me to run away from him. I had to hide. I couldn’t afford to expose myself.With his eyes fixed on me and without looking at Nicole, he his
