The chirping of birds woke up the beauty from the sleep. Grace rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up straight. Her eyes mindlessly danced all over the room before halting at the side of her bed.A sigh escaped her lips watching Xavier who was sleeping beside her. With his right hand shielding his dark eyes, he looked so peaceful that made her wonder that he was the same who kills people ruthlessly. Her gaze slowly wandered to his bare chest. Tingles erupted in her belly watching the rhythmic rise and fall of his buff chest. An urge to listen to hear his heartbeat swirled inside her but Grace immediately averted her gaze scolding herself for even thinking something so absurd. Well, it wasn't a new thing because Xavier prefers to sleep without a tee or shirt. Grace shook her head but once again her eyes shifted back to him. She couldn't help but admire his eight-pack and toned chest. The sight stirred her emotions and no matter how hard she tried to resist it, she failed.After their fight,
Grace“God, I am tired.”Filling the entry of our last buyer, I saved the file and finally shut my computer. With Christmas around the corner, my shift ended at 10 p.m. today. The reason was that people came in large droves turning the shop into a fish market. I and Rachel were having a hard time handling them.Getting up, I hurriedly packed my stuff. Just the thought of returning home turned my cheeks on fire.Today, he’ll be back. My best friend and true love, Felix Hughes. We practically grew up together. Me and Felix were both omegas of the Dark Moon Pack, the most powerful and oldest pack of the Brimstone Mountains. Dark Moon was considered to be the originator of the werewolf clan but despite being the ultimate rulers, there was a yawning gap between the ruling families and the people at the grassroots level, in short people like me. The Alpha of the pack was one crazy bastard Damon Hunt, who held the purest and deepest hatred for omegas. That psychopath had wiped out a major po
Xavier“Oh, come on, Xavier, don’t be like this. He’s your Dad. It’s his responsibility to teach you. You don’t have to be mad about it-”*Slam*Before Phil could complete it, I slammed the glass on the counter with full force causing it to break into pieces. A deafening silence followed in the room as I whipped my head toward him and shot him a glare making him gulp.“I didn’t share it with you so that you could also lecture me. I think I made a mistake by coming here.” Gritting my teeth, I stood up ignoring the shards of glass sticking to my flesh, to grab my jacket from the couch when Phil stopped me.“Hey man, relax. I was just trying to make things easier for you. But I think the timing isn’t right. Maybe I should give you some privacy so that you can clear your mind.” He apologized pathetically and exited the room hastily without even waiting for my reply.A scoff escaped my lips.Nevertheless, I plopped on the couch and rested my head on the headrest. Staring at the ceiling, I
Xavier was blown away by Grace’s revelation. His brown eyes instantly turned into a darker shade as he lunged at her and grabbed her throat. Grace who was drowned in her grief froze as soon as her teary eyes contacted with his grim ones.“HOW DARE YOU INVADE MY TERRITORY? FROM WHICH PACK DO YOU BELONG?”Xavier thundered and tightened his hold, crushing her windpipe. Grace coughed out loud. She flailed her arms desperately trying to free herself but her strength was incomparable in front of the massive Alpha. Xavier on the other hand was infuriated. Though the club belonged to Phil, he was an Alpha and his friend. He wouldn’t let any werewolf trespass his territory.She might be a rogue, a spy, or worse a vampire on a mission. Xavier had numerous enemies so his list of trusted men was limited.His gaze raked all over her face trying to find any traces of familiarity but he had never seen her ever which confirmed his suspicion that she was from a different pack.But Grace was dumbfounde
The dazzling golden lights illuminated the room, erasing the darkness and blurring the sinful deeds of last night. Tortures which the Alpha reflected to sate his insatiable hunger were printed on the fragile figure who was wrapped in a thin white sheet. His handprints were visible on every inch of her skin as Xavier made sure to carve his name deep into her soul so that she remembers him forever.Feeling the scorching rays of the sun on her face, Grace groggily opened her eyes. Unlike the usual days, she felt much refreshed and energetic. A smile ghosted over her lips but no sooner she turned, a wince escaped her mouth as she was welcomed with a searing pain that nearly cracked her bones.“Ahh!! What the-”She groaned out loud and tried to move her legs only to hiss out in pain. She couldn’t feel them. Mustering up some strength, she tried sitting up when a bone-chilling shock struck her.A man nearly thrice the size of her was lying beside her. The first thing she noticed was a giant
Xavier tossed in the bed and stretched his arm to touch the beauty whom he had taken multiple times. But can he be blamed for it when she was a fucking enchantress who captured his heart? Eyes still closed and a smile lingering on his lips, he waited to feel Grace only to grasp air. His eyes shot open.“Grace?”Xavier mumbled, shock plastered on his face watching the bed empty.“Grace, Grace?”He continued calling his name as he got up from the bed. Suddenly his eyes landed on the ensuite bathroom.“Oh, she must be in there.” He chuckled to himself and padded there.“Grace? Baby, are you in there?” Xavier asked as he knocked gently on the door.“Oh, come on. Don’t need to be shy. Open the door so that I can come inside.” He said and smirked. His eyes holding mischief as he anxiously waited for her reply only to be met with a deadly silence that turned him worried.“Grace, open it. Babe” Xavier again spoke softly but when he found no response from the other side, all his concern turned
Soulless emerald hues brimming with pain were staring at the beautiful scenery that was painted with the most exotic and vibrant colors. Grace can’t even think of comparing that piece of art with her bland and dull life. There was a time when her life was more enchanting and livelier than this tranquil nature but now the tables were turned.The wheels glided over the smooth tarmac carrying away from the lost soul that doesn't even know her destiny. She just came out of one relationship only to entangle herself in another unknown bond. Ended up trusting someone whom she didn’t know. Neither the face nor the name. He was just a dark shadow, an esoteric outline of her depraved past that would haunt her forever. Just that mere thought gives her goosebumps."The weather seems pleasant today, lady." The driver tried to initiate a conversation. For some reason, he wanted to cheer up the broken girl. Grace as usual ignored him and kept staring outside the window. She wasn't in the mood to tal
"Why is it taking so long?"Grace was a bundle of nerves ever since she got stuck in traffic. And to pile up her miseries, it abruptly started to rain heavily. The pitter-patter of cheerful raindrops striking against the glass pane wasn’t pleasing instead it made her heart race in fear.Fear of getting caught.Fear of getting recognized.Fear of meeting him... again.She placed her trembling palms over her left knee which was bouncing nonstop. Just that thought was enough to make her run for hills. She had come this far and now only a few miles were left to meet her destination but now she was stuck. What scared her more was that it was the tollway. If Xavier was chasing her then it could prove the perfect spot for him to catch her."Do something." She couldn't help but scream. The driver looked at her agitated."Madam, I can't run over the cars. The way is getting cleared. Hold on for a minute please." He tried to reply as politely as possible.Grace looked away annoyed. She was head
