ANNA'S POV
"Do you like that very much?"
He asked as his hand cupped one of my breasts. I moaned a small affirmation.
"Where would you have me bury my fingers?"
He demanded, this time a bit more roughly.
I grabbed his hand.
"Just touch me, damn it!"
I cried desperately. He did, his hand traveled down my tummy, down to the folds of my vagina.
His palms splayed across my opening for a while before I felt his finger slip into me.
It was a new form of brazen desire that I felt as his finger started to move slowly inside of me, his thumb occasionally flicking at my clit.
He was dexterous.
He awakened the slut in me and I could not hold back the loud moans that rolled from my mouth, filling the room.
"Have you been made love to like this before?"
He asked roughly, his voice was hoarse, almost ominous to my ears.
I was not thinking straight, my hand went to my vagina where his fingers had stopped moving.
"Ahh, don't stop."
I said in a desperate plea, but he did not continue.
He was deliberately torturing me.
"Please."
"Then answer me."
He insisted. I did, nodding my head vigorously.
"Fuck, yes! Just ..."
I did not get the last word out when his fingers withdrew from me, in the next moment, he eased himself fully stop me, the tip of his cock pressing against the entrance of my vagina.
His lips covered mine in a slow sensual kiss and I felt him slowly slip into me, his manhood filling me up. My moans were loud against his lips.
I woke up lightheaded and unusually full of strength.
It had been one hell of a night of endless lovemaking.
With a total stranger!
My heart missed two beats at a time.
It was the first time it had happened. There was an inexplicable attraction that I had felt for him and even as I scrambled about for my dress and purse in the room, one thing was certain.
He was my mate.
It was a blessed coincidence.
His scent hung thickly in the room.
I had met a Werewolf who saved me, had sex with him, and the next morning, I realized he was my mate. I recall how he had looked when he had appeared from the shadows.
I could never have said no to a Werewolf as regal and commanding as he was.
I stopped abruptly when the door of the bathroom came open and he stepped out.
He was everything that any woman would want and he was definitely what I wanted.
I was the one who had suffered the taunts and reproachful glares from members of my pack for years because I was an omega and neither did I have a mate.
I held my breath, murmuring a word of appreciation to the moon goddess who had a way of rescuing those who truly needed it.
"Good morning."
I greeted. My eyes were completely on him. It was hard to believe he had spent a night with me.
He had a towel wrapped around his waist, his torso beckoned on me, and I shook the thoughts off.
"You are looking for your dress."
He said. I nodded. He didn't have to ask. He knew I was off the bed.
He pointed at one end of the room and it was right there. I berated myself inwardly for not seeing it earlier while gripping the bedsheet that I had wrapped around me.
"Thank you,"
I said.
"Here."
He said, suddenly providing a bundle of cash that he dangled before me.
He was tall and handsome, with jet-black hair that was tied behind his neck and he was looming over me.
"I will let you have this. You did great for the night."
He said.
For the first time, my eyes went to his hand and I saw the signet ring he had on. Well then, he was royalty.
" Yes. It is funny how the moon goddess created an avenue to make us meet.... after all these years..."
I trailed off as tears started to well up in my eyes. Tears of gratitude. He snorted.
" You are going to have this money and go away."
He said.
The words did not make sense to me.
" No, as long as I have my purse, there is enough to take me home."
He seemed irritated.
" You must be dumb."
He said and then he tossed the bundle of cash at me. I stumbled back, stunned beyond my wits.
"I .."
"Listen," he ordered coldly.
I looked up at him. "I want you to take that for the job of the night and get lost."
He said.
"I don't understand."
I said. He stepped closer and I stepped back in reflex.
"You are my mate. You have felt the mate pull towards me as I have for you, but I would rather not have a mate than have you. "
The words were not only humiliating, they were tearing at my insides and the tears of gratitude that had started to well in my eyes turned quickly turned to that of pain and humiliation. I had lived all my life as a lowly omega wolf only to meet my mate and get rejected outrightly.
I wanted to beg him and tell him that I had had too many troubles to last a lifetime and getting rejected was not one of the many dimensions of pain that I wanted to feel.
"I want you to take and make sure we never run into each other for any reason. I do not want a weak female for a mate and I want nothing with you."
" We are mates, The moon goddess will not make us that if we were not meant for each other."
I explained frantically.
" But I reject you, Anna. I will not have you for a mate and Luna no matter what the will of the moon goddess is! I do not want you!"
He turned and then continued to speak.
" Leave and don't ever come near the next time you see me if ever our paths cross."
The words stung.
The tears blurred my vision for as long as I stood there.
I could not help wondering if he was the same Lycan who had rescued me from those who had nearly abducted me the previous night if he was the same Lycan who had brought me to his suite to have me cleaned up and even made love to me passionately all night long.
I left drying my tears.
I could smell what was waiting for me back at home.
I reached home and my aunt stopped me right at the door.
"Where are you coming from? Where did you spend the night?"
She demanded. There was no argument about what she would do if I had no sensible reason for sleeping out. She did not seem to notice that my eyes were red from crying, and my lips were swollen from being bitten severally to keep tears back.
"Katherine took me out to a club party last night to have fun for my birthday, I got drunk and she left me some time while I was still drunk. "
" That's a bloody lie."
I heard Katherine say.. she appeared from behind her mother, she had perhaps been listening in on us.
" I didn't take her anywhere, mom. I have no idea she went out to a club. "
Katherine said.
The hostility of the lie shocked me beyond words and I stood staring at them
ANNA'S POV"Your test result says you are pregnant, Anna."Katherine said with a look of surprise and amusement."What do you mean?"I demanded.She handed the result to me."You are fucking pregnant. I thought you were celibate. You don't even have a mate! Who in the bloody hell got you pregnant?"She demanded. She was yelling and I could not even blame her. It was hard for me to believe I was pregnant too. " Katherine stop yelling, please.""Well, you have to say how the hell you got pregnant. You are going to have to explain to everyone.""No," I protested. " I don't owe everyone an explanation as to why and how I am pregnant."She stopped for a while to regard me with a disdain that sliced at me."You are in a Lycanthrope community. Everyone knows that you are the girl without a mate and you somehow think you won't do any explaining?"Her question made sense, but I gave the reply I knew was suitable, anyway."Katherine, it is my life. If it's messed up, it is still my life and I
(FOUR YEARS LATER)ALPHA ARNOLD'S POVThe place was crowded and I hated it. After years of not being at any rowdy place, did not only feel strange to me but it left me exasperated.My beta, Luke was right by me and he sensed my discomfort with the place."Are you sure you want to be alone in here?"He asked once I was inside.. it was a strip club with strippers dancing on the pole and it irked me.. it was difficult to believe that I had been a lover of such places only a few years back. "Yes, Luke. Someone is going to notice that we are here for something other than what they do here and that is not going to help our course in any way. "I said. It was my way of telling him to leave me alone. I needed to be alone for what I was looking at to turn out fruitful. If we were together, there was a probability that I would have my attention off my target, whatever it turned out to be and I did not want that." I might just have to hang around here. I don't have to be with you, right? But I
ARNOLD'S POV"Do you know with whom you speak?"I demanded harshly.She wrinkled her nose."You would be more sensible if you were an important person."She replied. She was quick with words and I felt myself drenched in humiliation."You don't follow a stripper out of her workplace. My job ends in the club!"She snapped. I stepped back. "I take it you do not recall who I am?""There are so many of you and you do not expect me to remember you. I will not even if I could!"The words were enough to tell me that she saw me as one of the many men who visited the club to watch her, but I was determined to have a better reception from her. She was not even looking at me, I started to reach for her hand as a cab pulled to a stop before us. She stepped away, kicked me hard in the thigh, and jumped into the cab." Stay away From me, bastard. Don't ever come close or you will be beaten!"She yelled from the cab as it took off. I stood nursing my thigh, finding it difficult to believe that I ha
Anna’s PovIt's 8:00 am and I just remembered that Kylie will be going for her dance training. "Kylie, we have to prepare for the class. You don't have to be late"She was still on her bed, sleeping like a baby. I gently massaged her body and raised her up. Kylie made a slight sound like she wanted to cry."Sorry, my, dear.""Are you taking her to the dance class?" Ella asked me."Yes, and we are almost late. I can't imagine it's past eight""Don't worry, I will get the breakfast ready" Ella said but I wasn't sure I heard her.I quickly bathed my daughter and entered the kitchen to prepare our breakfast. I met Ella preparing a sandwich and hot coffee for us."I am almost done," she said."Thank you for all you are doing. I was thinking of what to prepare for breakfast" I smiled at Ella.Ella has been so helpful to me. She made everything so easy for me. I wonder what I could have done, especially having four kids growing at the same time.I have suffered while alone, talking more no
Anna's Pov "You have refused to talk since you and Kylie came back. What happened?" Did someone make a statement you didn't like?"I don't even know what to tell Ella. I feel it wasn't right to bug her with my problems. Maybe I should just tell her about our neighbor. Talking about Arnold brings back old memories."Anna, silence will not help you. Speak up""That reminds me, you have a letter from an unknown person" I became tense."Did you check the letter?""No, I didn't" Ella grabbed a brown paper from the table and handed it over to me. "Here is it"I was shocked to see that the content of the letter was an invitation to another club to strip for them. The pay was huge. "Wow!""What's that?""I was invited tonight to strip in another club. Look at this! The money is huge" I gave Ella the letter."Wow, that's perfect""Please, we need to celebrate this. Where are my kids?" I started calling out their names but there was no response. "Are they sleeping already?" I asked Ella."Let
Arnold's Pov "You haven't eaten anything since we came back. What could be troubling you?"I looked at my Beta, "I am not hungry""But at least try and taste something. I don't feel comfortable with this sudden change""And I said, I am not hungry!" I yelled.I expected him to turn around and leave but he stood still and unshaken."Do you know her?" He asked with so much worry on his face. I wondered why he was bothered."Why do you ask?""I asked because I haven't seen you acted so silent like this. What could be eating you up?"I bite my upper lips with my teeth. I contemplated on telling him what was going on in my mind but at the same time, it will warrant to some many questions. "Yes, I know her""What about the child? I saw the…""Hey! Know your boundaries. Out of my sight" I blurted. He wanted to talk but I signaled to him with my index finger. My eyes were already turning red because I was getting pissed. "Leave!"He saw the brisk of heat on my forehead and left without sayin
Anna's Pov It is barely one week since we packed into our new apartment and Demitri has been our regular visitor.My kids are so used to staying around him. I don't like his regular visits but what more can I do? When my kids are in love with him.It's past 3:00 and I have made up my mind that he is not going to come again so there is no need to prepare something for him.It seems I just heard my name but I continued to wash my dishes."Mom, Uncle Demitri is around?" I paused what I was doing and turned to my Kylie."Did you see him?""Yes, I saw him walk into the building" I was about to say something when a knock came through the door."Here is he," she said, jumping on one foot before the other.I watched her as she struggled to open the door but her hands couldn't reach the door bolt. She quickly got a small chair and climbed on it.I was amazed, with my hands clasped together as I watched him carry her up and peck her forehead. He put her down and hugged the rest.The joy on the
Anna's Pov "Please you can come in" I breathed in and out before I followed the doctor into the room. I got a call from a stranger through Ella's phone that she was involved in an accident. I don't know the impact of the injury. I made sure to lock up my kids at home before coming to the hospital. I followed the doctor inside immediately, "How are you feeling?" The doctor asked Ella, touching her neck to check her temperature. I didn't hear her voice. I tried to stretch my neck to look at her because the doctor was covering the view. "You can take care of your friend. She had a small impact on her leg but I assure you that she will be very fine by tomorrow" I nodded my head, "thank you, doctor" When he left the room, I sat down beside Ella and touched her forehead with my palm. "How are your children?" I was shocked to hear that from her. "They are fine. I heard what happened and ran to the hospital immediately" She struggled to sit upright but then, I quickly and gently hel
