Winter.The moment I opened my eyes, unfamiliar surroundings welcomed me. With minimal furniture, the small room only had a medium-sized table, two chairs, and a small couch, which I'm currently occupying. The closed windows had a dusty curtain covering them.My head turned to the right, finding Kieran staring at me. “Where am I?”“Thank Goddess, you are awake. I almost lost my neck because of you.” He kneeled beside me, lifting his hand, and asked me how many fingers he showed.“Four and two.”“Goddess, I almost piss myself because of you.”“What?”Instead of answering, Kieran stood up. He looked down, hands in his pocket, while smiling strangely at me.“Anyway, you lose. So, five minutes’ talk.”I did a half-shrug and replied, “Okay, go ahead.”“Not with me, but with my Alpha.”My eyes enlarged, realizing that I had forgotten about my predicament for a moment. Shit. This wasn’t good. Seeing my reaction, Kieran chuckled. He tapped my shoulder and then uttered,“Good luck, Diana.”And
Winter. Lying in the small bed facing a brown-colored ceiling, I felt sweat dripping from my body with each passing minute. My heart rate increased so fast that I could hear how loud it beat against my ribcage. My chest heaved up and down in rhythm as the heat spread all over my body. “Fuck my life,” I cursed, moving restlessly to ease the pain. ‘Fuck you, Winter.’ Snow snarled at me. She was beyond angry right now and knowing how tortured she was, I couldn’t even refute her. This was an unexpected situation. I didn’t know I’d be in heat this soon. This was why finding a mate was bad news. Not only did it put me on my mate’s radar, but now I had to deal with an occasional heat. It was bearable when we never found our fated mate, but it was totally different when we finally met. Ideally, after meeting our mate, we’d marked each other as soon as possible to hinder from getting in heat, which was painful. But with my situation, I couldn’t let my mate mark me, leaving me to deal with
Dante.“So, you finally have time to time with your mate, huh?”I shrugged upon hearing Ayla’s words. From the way she frowned, I knew she had reached her limit after I ignored her for days. This was Winter’s fault. That female occupies every corner of my mind and I hardly have time to deal with anything else.“I always have the time to talk. I just forgot about you for a while. And I’ll have to correct you there, Ayla. You are not my mate.”Ayla scoffed, then said, “Well, I am in the face of elders.” Ayla stopped. “I heard you find her.”Elders. Fuck them honestly. Ayla was Edward Brown’s adopted daughter. Edward brought her to Dark Moon pack when she was only thirteen. She was almost like a sister to me and Kayden. However, Edward wanted to make Ayla the Luna of the pack
Winter.I was totally wrong for thinking that Dante would give up after my threat because not only did he not stop, but he didn’t even bother to hide the fact that he made someone follow me. Even after I moved to another city and masked my appearance, his people still managed to find me.These days, it was getting harder to hide myself from Dante and his people, mainly because I lacked funds. I kept moving before I managed to earn good money to support my plan. If this continues, I’d end up broke, just like the first time I escaped my former pack.Exhaling an exasperated sigh, I turned my head, looking at the black car that stopped just two buildings away from me.‘He is here,’ Snow said.‘I know.’Dante might let his people be my tail, but he never showed himself to me after we met in the underground fight club. All this time, his
Dante.As I kissed Winter, the heaviness that had been weighing on my shoulder was gone in an instant. I was never wrong when I thought she’d be the only solution to all the fucking sickness I had felt since we parted ways.Goddess, I’d be miserable without her.“Ugh,” Winter moaned in my mouth as I parted her lips with my tongue and licked every corner of her mouth, tasting the saltiness of chips mixed with mint from my tea.Her hands that were hanging on her sides moved up from my shoulder to my neck, pulling me closer as she deepened our kiss. She was as hungry as I was.Winter pulled away, breathing hard on my lips. Her eyes were clouded, and for a second, I thought she’d bolt out of this car and pretend like she never wanted me. Yet the moment she locked her orbs against mine, I saw nothing but lust and hunge
TW: Miscarriage.Winter.Darkness greeted me as soon as my eyes opened. Excruciating pain spread all over my body. The sound of iron clinked against each other echoed as I moved slightly.Once again, I was trapped in my nightmare. I returned to the underground prison, where he put me without a second thought. Tears gathered at the corner of my eyes as I knew what was about to happen. It never gets better. Each day, the torture turned more and more heartless. It was a miracle that I could survive this long.“She is already wake up. Do you want us to whip her back again?” the male voice behind the bars spoke. I could detect mirth laced with every word he said.“No. Kick her stomach. Make sure she lost it.”The prison cracked open, showing a well-built male. I couldn’t see him perfectly, but I could make out a scar around his eyes. His gaze rooted to me, eying me li
Dante.Knocking on Nina’s unit, I waited and waited while tapping my fingers against my upper arms. A smile never ceased on my lips since I was on the way. It felt good to find something to use against Winter. She might move continuously, but she’d return here.The door opened, showing a 5-foot-4 female. Her black hair only reached her ears, which were in a mess. Without makeup, freckles spread on her cheeks. She looked at me with her round blue eyes in disbelief. She blinked once, twice, and then she closed and slammed the door in my face.“Well, that’s a great way to greet your guest, Nina.”Nina Woods was my cousin from my father’s side. She was around Ayla’s age, but I forgot her actual age. Maybe twenty-two, but I wasn’t sure. She moved to my pack four years ago but started living separately when she was twenty.I didn’t know the real reason beh
Winter.As soon as I entered, I saw Dante with his people. Dante sat alone on the couch while Nina and Skye were before him. They didn’t look scared, but I couldn’t be sure about their condition. Dante was the first person who noticed me as he stood up.He waved his hand, looking at ease like he owned this place.“Hello there, Sweetheart.”“Winter!”Skye and Nina screamed at the same time, but I chose to ignore them and focus on Dante. He was still smiling, making my blood boil. I wanted to wipe that smile and punch his perfect face.“What’s the meaning of this Dante?” I asked, trying to sound as calm as possible.Dante’s hand went to my temple, wiping my sweat without a second thought. “Well, good to see you too. I’ve been missing you since the last time we met. I can still taste you in my mouth.”From the corner of my eyes, I could s
