“Kitten?” Reed called me out from the other tree. I bit my lip, trying my best not to giggle. I could feel him coming closer with every step he take towards me. My heart was thundering in my chest, I doubt he could listen it. But, He is not a wolf. The thought saddened me.
I shake my head, coming back to the reality. I smiled as he started walking in the wrong direction. Although I know I was poking the bear in his own den, but right now I don’t care. This game fantasise me. Him chasing me. He made a tusk sound with his mouth.
“With every second your punishments will grow severer.” He threatened loudly and stopped mid-track. I tried to run to the other tree before he would turn but in the moment of desperation, I tripped on my foot and lost my balance and a tweak snapped below my foot.
“Did you hear it kitten?” his voice turned huskier and sensual. Dammit. He heard it. For a second, everything stopped. The forest consumed in a complete utter

“Esma.” Reed whispered in my ear, I nuzzled into his chest. I was leaning against his chest, my eyes were closed, his hands wrapped around me. I felt ecstasy, joy, relieve. “Hey, we have to return to the hotel, you have to attend the meeting, right?” he whispered. I groaned. Jeez, let me sleep, just for a few minutes. “Hurry up.” He said and soon I felt his warmth abandoning my body. Slowly the outside world invaded my senses, and oh my, what an invasion. I felt like I was floating, my limbs soft and languid, utterly spent. Now, only I realize I was laying on the fresh meadows, Reed’s scent strong in the surrounding. Fresh cardamom and strawberries with the smell of fresh meadows, the most intoxicating scent of the planet. I blink twice and turned, he was already in his jeans, and buttoning up his shirt. I looked around trying to find my panties. The very first clothing I had to wear. “Here. You my put these o
“You can come in.” I said finally when I was ready. Although I was ready five minutes earlier, I wanted him to wait outside and calmed down a little before we could talk. He opened the door slowly and moved in. See. He looked normal now. I know my brother; he is a moment kind of guy. He didn’t lose his calm right away but when he does, it’s just for few seconds or a minute and then everything went to normal. “I am sorry.” He mumbled. “I should never talk to you like that.” He apologised and looked down at his feet. I didn’t interrupt and let him speak. “I know you are a grown women and much more intelligent than I am, but I lose my calm whenever I see his face and remember what he did to you.” I sighed. “It’s fine, August. he is a good man; he cares about me. he didn’t rejected me I did, remember?” Somewhat kind of forcefully. I shake my head to get rid of the bitter thought. “Okay, whatever you say, but if he fucks up again.
If I have to define the state of Dumeny in one word, ‘different’ would be the last word which will come in my mind. He seems very changed from the last time I saw him. Well, technically when I pushed him away in front of all the alphas and the guests who were present to witness my brother’s ritual. The thought depressed me. He walked through the doors with his new beta. His face looked quite familiar with beta Caspian. My wild guess would be he was his younger brother. Beta Caspian was the first victim of the Oracle back in last year. My head spins remembering the horrific death of his. The witches murdered him in the cruellest way possible, his half body was burned and half was curled in the veins. His eyes were popped out from the socket and his head was cut off from his body. He was tortured mercilessly by the witches before they killed him. for what? Because they have a grudge with my mate? They later send his beheaded body to send a message. Dum
“Where the hell you have been?” I asked as soon as August let go of Diana. August was still holding her hand but there was a distance between them now so I could talk. August was busy glaring all other alphas who were eyeing Diana. “I was out to meet some of my people.” She said finally, her voice was a bit strange from the normal tone of her, she said after thinking for a minute. she was not telling me the whole truth. Again. Her eyes were travelling from one alpha to another, looking at them suspiciously, trying to know something. Diana’s eyes finally met with Reed and I saw them sharing conversations with their eyes. Reed sighed finally. “All of you, please calm down. She is Diana, she is a witch but left her coven as soon as she got the chance to run. She was living with me since then. I know her, she is an ally.” Reed said, making himself clear. As if in cue, Derek and Diaz sit on his command, I was surpri
“Just where are you going kitten?” his voice rings inside my head like the bells of heaven. I stopped dead on my tracks. He had so much effect on my body sometimes I hated it. My wolf was peeking through her paws, waiting eagerly for her mate’s next move, for his next command. I didn’t turn, neither he make a move. My body was eager for his touch. All the people soon left the meeting room leaving only me and yes, the devil himself. I bit my lip waiting for him to say something. Or better to do something. After we mated, it is something kind of impossible for me to let my hands off from him and I bet it is impossible for him too. My body craved his touch, my soul yearned for him. He slowly and steadily walked towards me and passed me not before touching my side briefly. The sparks erupted and I doubted if they were the sparks of our mate bond or the desire from both of our hearts. He closed the doo
Reed’s pov (22 years back) “No, you cheated.” I giggled as Jean surpassed me at the last moment in the run and reached the lake before me. I put my hands on my knees trying to even my laboured breaths. She ran fast. Faster than me, no matter how much I tried to run faster than her, she always wins. “I didn’t cheat you did. You take on the lead before we even started.” She said and sit beside the lake. The wind was kissing her face, her hairs were dancing in the air. her white skin was flawlessly taking in the light. She was beautiful but not more than my mama. I sit beside her. “Jean, one day I will defeat you in every game you taught me.” I said full of myself. Something flickers through her eyes, the same expression I saw every time in my mama’s eyes when I told her I am not a child now. I turned to look and the sun was already setting down, soon it will be the time of dusk. I
Esma’s pov Present time… “Then?” I asked when he finally stopped talking. We returned to his room. I was sure August needed the privacy with Diana after the little incident. He was more concerned for her safety than for me. I don’t blame him for that. She is his mate. Also, I didn’t want to leave Reed especially when after so much efforts he was finally talking to me. the thick shell he surround himself in was finally cracking. He was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at the sidelamp busy in his own mind. I didn’t want to push him, everything he told since now was impossible to believe if I haven’t seen most of it in the visions already. I have seen the pain; I have seen his sufferings. I have seen his powers and his vengeance. “I confronted Jean. Her name was Moona, she was the moon goddess, can you believe my luck? then I tried to meet Alpha Andrew and when I saw his face, there I feel it, there was so
Reed’s pov “Why are you here? I don’t need a counsellor.” I sighed deeply, getting annoyed for not having some personal time alone for myself. I don’t want to talk to anyone. “I know you don’t.” Diana stopped and sit right next to me on the ground. I look at her from the corner of the eye. None of us said anything. the silence was deafening. But… somehow, I liked it. with Diana I couldn’t care less about being judged. She had already seen me at my worst. But with Esma, I can’t tell. I feel her getting intimidated, scared even terrified through the mate bond. on the top of that, I can’t deal with the pity she had in her eyes. “Where’s your mate?” I asked finally when I was sure she won’t talk first. Diana is complete opposite from what she looked. She looked simple and sweet but she had shades. maybe this was the only thing we had in common. Maybe that’s why we can understand each other so better. She is like a sister I never ha
