“You did right,” he stated. His eyes were exhausted and lines of worries marred his face. My lips twisted in a rueful smile. I poured the drink and pushed it towards him. “Considering I will be on the road tomorrow. I don’t think so,” I had sassed my annoying landlord but the truth was still the same. I had no money. And tomorrow I will be homeless. Fuck whoever is writing my fate. “You don’t have a man in your life?” He lifted his sculpted brows. This man was hands down gorgeous. “I am the man of my life,” I replied without missing a beat. The man smirked. “ I like your sass. I have an offer for you. I will give you 10 million dollars and you can shove some down your landlord’s throat too,” he initiated in a cryptic tone. I narrowed my eyes at him, suspiciously. “Are you a pimp or something? If you think you can take advantage of my situation then you have another thing coming. I’ll crush your damn balls,” I countered in warning. I wasn’t going to let anyone capitalize on my m
“Mumma, where are we going?” my little one tugged at the hem of my shirt. I looked down at her and smiled. “We are going to a new place, Penny. You will love it,” Aaron lightly pinched her chubby cheeks and grinned at her. Penny beamed up at him. “Will I also get dolls, chocolates, and icecakes there?” Penny asked, almost bouncing in her seat with excitement. My heart melted in my eyes. I had missed it. I quickly wiped my tears as Aaron promised her that she would have whatever her little heart desires. She looked beyond thrilled. Her smile was enough to drill strength into my veins. A month. I will do it for my child. For her future. “Mumma, I am so happy,” she climbed onto my lap and gave me a tight hug. I chuckled and hugged her back. My heart was pounding hard in my throat as we entered his pack’s territory. I looked around. The place was kept neatly. Smooth roads, clean neighborhoods, guards stationed in equal distances. What impressed me most was the fine balance bet
Slowly and cautiously, I turned around and met with a pair of silver eyes. My mouth went dry and blood ran cold in my veins. Those eyes were not humans’. They were of a wolf. The wolf was massive and his furs were concealed by the haze of night. All I could see was his orbs which glittered like fireballs in the midnight sky. Molten lava in hue. The color of danger. But unlike the fireballs, they possessed no warmth, only a cold bloodlust. I backed a step away and the wolf mimicked my action and took a step forward. He was going to hunt me down. My terror swelled. I spun around and started running in the opposite direction. The wolf growled fiercely and started chasing me. Penny began to sob. I had no time to calm her down. I continued to run, hearing my death chasing me relentlessly. I purposefully took a narrow path that would slow that beast down a little. But soon he was gaining on me. I knew I cannot purchase him for long so I decided to do something I didn’t think I would ever
“Ma’am?” a voice broke me away from my trance. I looked to see a man rushing towards me. “Are you okay?” he touched my shoulder and quizzed. I nodded my head at him, still a little dazed by my encounter with that beast. “Can you stand?” he asked, worried. He held out his hand for me. I took it and tried to stand on my feet. My legs were still wobbly, not due to fear but due to all the thrill and lust that mysterious wolf had drilled inside me. I still managed to stand though. I pulled my nightie closer around my chest to cover my bra. Damn! I could still feel the wetness of his spit on my nipples. I spied a glance at the man and wondered if he had caught on my arousal. But by the look of him, it didn’t seem like it. Perhaps, he was a human. Penny. “Where is Penny? Is she safe?” I asked, totally forgotten about the wolf now. My stomach in a knot. “She is safe and at home, ma’am. She is the one who reached us and told us about you,” the man explained to me. I heaved a sigh of relie
His eyes beckoned me to open the door and come to him. They were pulling me in a vortex of desire. Coaxing me to surrender to my wants. Overwhelmed, I shut the door in his face. This was wrong. All these unwanted emotions were messing with my head. I was sex-deprrived for so long that I had started getting wet by an animal. If he really wants me, he should reveal his human form. I suppressed my urge to go out and sat down on the edge of my bed. I fisted the bedsheet and closed my eyes in an attempt to stifle my desire. I was sure he could smell my arousal even from there. I could sense him still pacing outside my door. The whole night we both waited. He waited for me to come out and I waited for him to leave. He growled a few times to let me know he was still waiting outside. The night felt so long and torturous with us on either side of the door. He eventually left when the sun rose. The next day went as usual. Penny had already gotten comfortable with her new lifestyle. She was b
The beast raised his head. Our eyes locked in like magnets. Ocean against fire. The sun paled in comparison to the hue of his eyes. Stunning. I wanted to measure the depth of his burning pools. Get lost in his infernal world. He only stared at me as if I was some puzzle he wasn’t able to figure out. Intrigue? Was he here to satisfy his intrigue? “Shift,” I added in a slightly quivering voice. I don’t know where I got this confidence from? Perhaps, my curiosity took over my reasons. I was aching to see the person who had brought me so much pleasure. I wanted to know about him. Wanted to know who he was. Is he a rogue or a warrior? Just who is he? It seemed my beast wasn’t used to hearing commands nor he knew how to obey them. He retreated from over me like clouds do after drowning the ground, turned around and raced off. I could only watch him go. Once again dazed and intrigued. His disappearance brought an onslaught of questions. Just what I had landed myself into? Why am I feel
“This is wrong. We shouldn’t do this,” I whispered. My beast tensed up. He barked a growl of disapproval and stalked towards me. I sprung to my feet while shaking my head at him. How can I want him to mark me? This was against Goddess’ rule. In fact, everything we did and were doing was against Goddess’ rule.Before he could reach me, I turned around and ran off. I ran, feeling tears flying down my eyes. It wasn’t only about me. It was about my kid too. My world wasn’t only mine any longer.My attraction was instant with this beast. It grew rapidly like wildfire, consuming me whole. He unlocked all my repressed desire with just one stroke of his tongue. I was even ready to bear his mark. I opened the door and got inside my room. I closed my door shut and leaned against it. I closed my eyes and attempted to steady my chaotic breath. It felt like there was an invisible chain between us, pulling me relentlessly towards him. I was fighting it so hard but my willpower was no match to my
I chewed the inside of my cheek while staring at his held out hand as though it was going to shoot bullets at me. Would it tingle if I touched him? I will be done for if it did. “Eva,” Aaron prompted, bringing me from my inner debate. I looked over at Aaron and then at his brother who was already eyeing me intently. I clenched unclenched my hand before slowly lifting and eventually slipping it into his hand. My heart had legit stopped for a second. Ths rub patches of his palm slid against the softness of my skin. His giant hand clasped mine in a firm grip, conveying his authority and dominance over all of us. Thankfully, it didn’t tingle. But my heart did miss a beat. That hand had killed many but all I felt was a strange sense of comfort. His strong grip spoke of tenacity. He knew how to hold onto something. He glanced down at our joined hands and stared at it with slightly dipped brows. It seemed he was anticipating something. Tingles? Does he know? I pulled away a moment late
