I was glad that Alex had done bonded Daisy before she could run away.It was going to take some time for Daisy to work on her issues, but we were going to be by her side every step of the way.Although I had imagined a different kind of bonding when Daisy said that she wanted us to bond her.A sigh fell from my lips as I turned onto my side.Daisy was snuggled between Alex and Val, fast asleep.My eyes locked on her shoulder. The wound was ugly red and stood out against her pale skin. I swallowed and forced my eyes away from her bond mark.After hesitating for only a second more, I slowly slid out of bed and walked out of the nest.A few minutes later I was seated behind the computer with a steaming cup of coffee and my folder with notes open next to me. But no matter how hard I tried, the words deserted me. All I could think about was Daisy and the fact that she was now our omega.We were now officially deemed a pack.“Why do you always slip out of bed in the middle of the night?”My
“I’m not sure how I feel about this. You spend most of the time taking care of them and now you carry both their marks. It should have been fare if I got to mark you first.”I swallowed as Val slowly stalked closer.“I think I might need to hurt myself too.”“Don’t talk like that Val!” I frowned at him. “You don’t have to do anything to get my attention.”He raised an eyebrow. “I don’t?”“You have my attention now.”“Yeah, but for how long?”“However long you want it.”Valiant smiled but it slipped the moment Elias appeared. Muttering under his breath he turned and then fell back onto the bed I had been busy making.I glared at him, but he ignored me.“Your mother called,” Elias said softly. “She wants you to return home immediately.”I blinked at him. “I’m sorry, I think I misunderstood. My mother who has been ignoring me for most my life, wants me to return home?”“Yes.”“Why?”Elias shrugged. His eyes darted to Val for a few seconds before the locked on me again. I blushed under hi
Elias knew what he was doing. Other than me who was starting to second-guess everything. I wasn’t so sure about my plan anymore. Insecurities were starting to fill my mind.I swallowed as I stared down at the toys Elias had placed on the end of the bed. Along with it was a bottle of lube, some towels and a packet of wipes.The lamps next to the bed were switched on, creating a soft glow around the room. One curtain had been closed and the other was half open, letting in some more light.“They should be home any minute now,” Elias said softly. “Wait here. I’ll send him to his room when they get back.” He smirked as he walked out of the room.I stood awkwardly by the bed, eyes darted around the room. Should I take a seat on the bed? Do a sexy pose like they do in the movies?It felt like forever before I heard voices coming from the kitchen. I waited a few more minutes and when Val didn’t appear, I made my way towards them.Only he wasn’t with them in the kitchen.Frowning, I glanced
The moment I opened my eyes, I realized that something was different. I felt different. Blinking up at the ceiling, I took slow deep breaths as I evaluated things. Besides from a few aches and pains, nothing about my body felt any different. I was sore from all the fucking we had been doing the previous night and the bond marks throbbed. Val’s mark hurt a little more than the others, but I was sure that it was because he hadn’t nursed it enough yet. I glanced at Val who was still fast asleep next to me and then silently slipped out of bed. Walking into the bathroom, I hesitated a moment before I turned towards the mirror. My eyes widened. Stumbling forward, I leaned forward to get a closer look. Raising a shaky hand I traced the raised skin of the mark with my finger tip. Out of all the places, he had to mark me on my left breasts directly over my nipple. It was going to be hell when he nurse his mark. I sighed. Using the toilet, I washed my hands and splashed my face with some
Just breathe. I sucked in a deep breath and slowly blew it out. It did nothing to calm my racing heart. My legs felt like jelly and I was sure that I was shaking like a leaf. I didn't do well in stressful situations. In fact, I didn't do well in any situation that included dealing with people. Mother had told me that some important people were going to be at the house for dinner and that father expected me to join them. I had been dressed like a doll by the maids per her instructions to make sure that I didn't end up ruining anything. The dress was uncomfortable, the material made my skin itch, and the shoes were a size too small. Everything I was wearing had been handpicked by my mother. Which was another indication of how important the dinner was for them. I sucked in another deep breath and pressed a shaky hand to my stomach. They were waiting for me in the dining room. I was running late even though I had been dressed an hour before the set time for dinner to start. Ner
His eyes darted from hers to mine and then narrowed. I gave him an innocent smile. He wasn’t stupid, but I also knew that he wasn’t going to do anything at the table that might give John leverage to use against him. The whole purpose of this dinner was for us to find something we could use against him to get our money back. But the guy was playing it smart. My eyes locked on the omega at my side again. “So?”“So?” she repeated, acting like she didn’t know what I was talking about. “What do you think about his eyes?” She stuffed another bite of salad into her mouth and slowly chewed it. When she swallowed, she picked up the same glass I had drank from when I had choked. Something inside me stirred. It wasn’t every day an omega drank from the same glass as an alpha without making a big deal about it. “I like it,” she said softly. “His eyes. It’s an unusual colour for a man with his pale skin and black hair.”“Do you like him?”Daisy frowned at me. “I don’t know him.”It still surp
Daisy was right about her sister. Isabella had no talent, but everybody acted like her little performance was Oscar-worthy. I stood near the window, trying my best not to glare at the guest lingering about. It would have been in his favour if he just attended the meeting Valiant had set up last week.What was he hoping to gain with all these people around? My lips twitched. He thought that they would make me go easy on him, but he was in for a surprise. I was going to do everything it took to get my money back from the bastard. Sure, I didn’t need it. But I wanted it back. Taking a sip of my drink, I searched the room for a certain omega. “She’s not here.”I frowned at him. “Who?”“Daisy.” Valiant smirked. “I’m not looking for her.”He leaned closer. “Liar,” he breathed. I turned, but he moved back to my side, giving me no choice but to look at him. “I’ve been mingling,” he muttered, glancing around to make sure that there was nobody within earshot. “They are all crawled up his
“Honey, can we talk?”Nothing good ever came from my mother starting a conversation with those words. I nodded as I slipped the bookmark in between the pages and closed the book I had been busy reading before she interrupted. She hesitated by the door for a few seconds and then entered my room. Her eyes darted around, taking it all in. We used to be close, but everything changed the day Dad died. Now all she cared about was the money and what people thought of her. She was a perfect fit for my step-father John, but I wasn’t going to tell her that. “I didn’t think it was important to join the after-dinner drinks,” I muttered. “Isabella does well on her own.”“I know. It’s not what I want to talk to you about.” She took a seat on the edge of the bed and silently studied me for a few seconds. “You know I love you right?”I nodded.This was definitely going to be bad. “John…he ran into some trouble at work. There was a project he was working on but the investors pulled out at the las
