As he grabs his things and begins to get dressed a few minutes later, I follow suit while I watch him slip into his clothes. “This is definitely a man who knows no bounds.” I think to myself while admiring him. Not only is he the strongest man I have ever met, but he is also more intelligent than I originally gave him credit for. “Are you almost ready?” He asks quietly a few minutes later as he walks back over to the window and stares out at the rain.For some reason he sounds tired and preoccupied. Perhaps, it is because he is worried about his clan and those he has lost today. As I walk over to his side, I find myself wondering where werewolves go when they die. Do they just disappear? Or do their spirits go back to another body for the cycle to begin again? Remembering something from an old folk lore tale that my mother once read to me, I recite a poem in my head that she sang to me right before bed one night as a small child. “Lay me down in a field of flowersLay me down
Standing there, I swallow hard when I feel a pair of hands slither around my waist and hot breath on the back of my bare neck. Feeling a rock-hard cock press against my spine, I dare to turn around and stare a man down in his late 20’s with blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes. However, when he leans down and kisses me softly on the lips, I feel a sudden rush. Especially when he releases me only to ask, “Would you mind if I ask you to dance? You are gorgeous and I can’t stop thinking that we would be so good together.”This is exactly the thing I need to get my mind off Alexander tonight. “Happy birthday to me.” I murmur under my breath before glancing at Kelly and smiling. She winks at me knowingly and then waves me off before saying reassuringly, “Go. I will hold down the fort. Go have the time of your life.”Taking my hand, he leads me out to the dance floor, just like Alexander did. “What the fuck?” I ask myself because I realize that everything reminds me of him.As we reac
When we arrive, I watch the houses as we slowly drive by them and all the people as they stare at the passing vehicle. As the car stops, I feel a wave of nausea overcome me because I sense that something is not right here. Too late, do I turn to Alexander as he steps out of the car and then sighs before asking, “Are you coming or not?” with an angry look in his eyes.I can already tell that whatever is about to happen, is not a good thing by the way he grabs my hand roughly and then pulls me out of the car when I edge towards the door. Swallowing hard, I furrow my brow the moment he practically lifts me off the ground. A second later, I find myself rushing as I follow behind him, barely keeping up even though I am walking as fast as I can. When we arrive at the doors to the hospital, I am gasping for air as he stares at me in disapproval. “I must do this first.” He announces while opening the doors and waving me in to go before him.The moment I walk inside, I notice that the ai
Seeing a woman walk towards me, I try to clear the sleep from my eyes because I feel like I am in a dream. As I stand there, I could swear that she is my twin, but she is wearing that same long red velvet dress with a corset and her hair is much longer than mine is. For some reason, she doesn’t notice me standing there, staring at her, as she walks by and then asks a tall man who is standing in the shadows something quietly. This whole thing unnerves me because I feel the same sense of déjà vu that I did the moment that Alexander’s eyes and mine met that night in the club. “Are you alright, my dearest?” She asks the tall stranger before he turns around and I see a man who could be the spitting image of Alexander, but perhaps ten years older.He has crow’s feet forming in the corners of his eyes and a hint of white hair peeking out from his crown as he leans down to kiss her softly and then says sweetly, “Yes, my love. Hearing the door open quickly, I turn to see a small child of
“So, are you taking me home?” I ask hesitantly because I am preparing myself for the let down when he says that he is.“Yes, I am. Right now, you should be safe enough. Frankly, I am surprised that they found you. Not only have I masked my scent on you, but I made sure that when we dropped you off, they couldn’t track you. Matter of fact, that is precisely why we did what we did.” He says in a matter-of-fact tone of voice before looking out the window.Cocking my head, I think about this for a minute before I ask slowly, “What exactly do you mean by that?”When he returns his attention to me, he has a funny look on his face as if he knows a secret and he isn’t telling. After clearing his throat, he confesses everything quickly, “Well, it means that I planned all this to protect you. I knew that I couldn’t be watching over you while I went after the Alpha of the other pack. The safest place for you at that moment was your house because they were not supposed to know about it or
Waking up at lunch time, I struggle to open my eyes before I reach for the black cotton curtain next to the bed. I pull it up just an inch and then wince as the sun temporarily blinds me. “Shit!” I yell as I accidentally knock the stale glass of water over on the night table next to me.Hurrying to climb out of bed, I rush into the bathroom to grab a small light brown chenille towel to wipe up the water that I spilled just a moment ago. When I glance at the door, I notice that it is open, even though I could have sworn that I closed it before I went to bed. Scanning the room, my eyes stop in the corner as I watch Alexander stretch silently and then stand to walk over to my side.I nearly jump out of my skin as soon as I see him, and a little scream erupts from my throat as I struggle to keep it down. How did I not see him there as I rushed past him? Was he sitting in the rocking chair when I woke up? Or did he just come in while I was in the bathroom?Raising my hand to scratc
While staring out the window of his SUV, I wonder what will come of me? Am I doomed to become his servant? Or will I become the Luna that he keeps telling me I am? Right now, I am so unsure of everything and anything that I sit here wishing that I had never met him, even though I realize that we always end up together in every incarnation.“Is there not a way to change my destiny? Or is everything as set in stone as he says it is?” I find myself asking over and over in my head while the car brings us closer to the village and “our” home.Even though it has only been a couple of days since we met, I feel that it has been an eternity because the way this has all played out. “Are you alright? You have not said a single thing since we left.” He asks softly as he runs his forefinger up my lower arm and then down over the top of my hand slowly.Wondering if he is in a better mood now, I cock my head to look up at him and furrow my brow before asking, “By the way, what was bothering you
After hours of love making, I collapse on the bed from pure exhaustion. Turning over, I stare at him sleepily with half closed lids and smile because I feel completely fulfilled. This man-beast seems to know exactly what my body wants and when as he scratches my itch at just the right time, every time.With his back turned to me, I run my forefinger down the curve in his back as the spine dips and then ends. When my stomach begins to growl, he turns over and laughs before asking sweetly, “Would you care for some dinner? I do believe it is time.”As a smile spreads across my lips, I sit up quickly and state, “Of course. That would be wonderful.”Feeling the bed dip, I watch as he stands up and then I follow him. After grabbing my clothes, I turn to head towards the bathroom before he states unexpectedly, “By the way, I had bought you some clothes. They are in the closet. Go check if there is something you might want to wear to dinner tonight.”Pleasantly surprised, I smile befo
