I had lost count of the days. The only one I had seen since they took me was the grouchy guy. Though he cursed a lot and made it sound like I was a nuisance, I could tell he wasn't the bad guy. The few days I spent with him made him less irritable and a little more friendly. He fed me with fruit every morning. For dinner, he either gave me some steaks or pies. Each time he brought food, he would grumble about how he wasn't supposed to provide for me but had to because he was scared I might lose my baby. It wasn't until the fourth day that I finally understood him. The people who brought me here wanted me to be weak enough for what they planned to do with me. They asked the grumpy man not to feed me, but he did, because of my baby. 'He's not so irritable now, is he?' I nodded at her questions, leaning my head back on the wall. Since the day before, I had been thinking of an escape. The grouchy man was kind enough to not let me urinate or defecate on my body. He came in four times e
CHRYS“Stop!” I cried out, scared of looking down. I knew what was happening even without doing that. I couldn't even feel Chels anymore. Though she was still with me, I felt like the connection we once had was slowly drifting off. “She undeniably has sufficient strong will. I haven't witnessed such a lengthy extraction,” Enoch's voice drifted into my ears.I could barely grasp what he said. Though the words were plain enough, I couldn't fully make those words out. The pain numbed me. The emptiness I felt in my heart was so damned breaking. I had never felt so empty, so powerless that I couldn't even do anything. I felt a void in me. “No, please!” I begged, screaming as the chants from the men became louder. Enoch's laughter made it all worse. I couldn't even breathe properly. My throat felt tight. My stomach was in the worst shape ever. I was in agony, the lowest kind of it. Never had I felt so much pain. Never had I craved death more than I did at that moment. 'Chrys! You have t
My body shook with pain. I was in agony. Every part of my body hurts more than I could ever endure. Fucking Enoch! I had to crawl, knowing I should at least try not to be caught. Grumpy made a great sacrifice by getting me out of there. The least I could do was make sure I remained alive. My stomach ached. I could feel my blood dripping down my inner thighs. Sweat coated my forehead and my body shook, intense spasms leaving me breathless as I struggled to get to the end of the forest. Wherever that might be. I could still hear the piercing sound of a whistle. It was far but sounded so near. My pounding heart and hurried breathing made it difficult for me to pick up anything else. I glanced back after a long minute of trying to crawl forward. It didn't seem like I had gone that far. I was still in the same cleared space he left me. With renowned determination and my mouth set in a grim line, I continued going forward, determined to get out of this place, half-dead. If only Chels we
JAYDENI was a mess, a complete one. My mind wasn't functioning at all. Losing Chrys wasn't something I wanted to experience for the second time. After the conversation I had with Ada, it seemed like the lid which covered all my memories had been thrown away. I was able to recall everything that had happened. From the time I visited my so-called father, Gordon, to when I met Chrys, I recalled it all. The recollections made me weep, thinking back to the months I spent without her. Months when I thought I was living, not knowing it was merely surviving, for me. I stared up at the sun. It'd been three days since she left, three days of searching with no lead at all. Each time we seemed to come close to her trail, it disappeared. “Don't worry, we will find her," Ada reassured me as she placed her hand on my left shoulder. “We just need to be fast on our feet. I deployed my men around the forest you told me about.”I knew she was trying to console me, to make me feel good, but it wasn't
CHRYSA smile broke out on my face as I watched Jayden with our daughter. I never knew he could be this gentle, treating her like she was an egg that could break if not handled well. He was the complete epitome of a father, and she loved him. “Come on, darling, it's time to sleep. Your mum needs her rest,” he cooed, smiling down at Beatrice Amaya. We named her after our mothers. This way, it would feel like they were here with us, looking up at us with beautiful grey eyes. I sighed, leaning back on the headboard as I closed my eyes. It'd been three months since I woke up from comatose, three months without my wolf. Though I still felt her warm presence, I learned she might never fully return. After the death of Enoch, I took over the pack, with Jayden by my side. At first, my pack wasn't receptive to the vampires. They regarded them as enemies who only approached me with ulterior motives. It wasn't until they realized he was my mate, and I had a daughter with him, did they accept us
“My son is returning today,” Gordon crossed his left leg over his right, with his hands propped on them, as he went through the daily papers. “Hmm,” I nodded as I continued to type on my phone. It wasn't until the words fully sank in, did I turn to look at him. “Your son?” I widened my eyes, shocked by his words. “What do you mean by your son? I never knew you had a son,” I tried not to sound so shocked. “Well, I do. He has been away for years. Hell, I've not seen my son for close to seventeen years. He just called this morning, to inform me of his intended visit," he said like it wasn't much of a big deal. “Oh, he's coming for a visit?” I forced a smile. “That's good.” No, it's not good. It can never be good.“Not for a visit. He had a falling out with his mother, so he will be here until he returns to school. He wishes to spend the summer holiday with us.” He said as if it didn't matter. He's taking everything lightly when I'm almost combusting from shock. “Us?” I rose from th
I stared hard at the door that belonged to my stepson. Despite knowing, he's too young for me, I still have this urge in me to mark him and make him mine. 'He's ours!' Chels possessively growled. “Oh, shut up."It's worse enough that he's my stepson. However, his age made it seem like I was an old paedophile who had the hots for my stepson. My heart skipped a beat when his door opened, and he stepped out. His eyes immediately went to me. Those chocolate brown eyes racked through my body. He started from the crown of my head to my feet before his lips went up in a smirk. “Lost your way, gold digger?” He sneered, looking like he was having so much fun.“I… You… " I swallowed, not knowing what to say. His presence robbed me of all coherent thought. His smell drove me crazy, prompting me to have unholy thoughts towards my stepson. “Cat got your tongue?” He folded his arms, causing his muscles to bulge. He has long discarded the jacket he wore earlier. His well-defined muscles made me
JaydenI blinked as I watched the door before a small smile graced my face. That little gold-digging whore undeniably has a funny side. Was she pleasuring herself while watching me? My lips curved to the side. Things are getting interesting. I thought this holiday would be a boring one. Who knows stuck-up Gordon has a cute wife here? I slowly licked my bottom lip as I rose from the bed. I walked to my stereo and switched it off before I took my discarded trousers on the floor, and wiped the residue of my masturbation. Seeing her in that cute shorts, bent over, looking so damned fuckable, almost made me lose my shits. I had to hurry over here to wank myself. I strode into my bathroom and had a bath before I put on my clothes and headed downstairs for an Early dinner. Gordon is still in his study, doing only fuck knows what —not that I care. My eyes immediately went towards the kitchen, where my cute gold-digging stepmother was. She has changed out of those shorts, and she's now
