Slowly, I take the seat Zayne vacated my hands in my lap. Nana holds my gaze for a moment, between that, I tell myself not to blot out of there as fast as my legs can carry me. She sniffs her wrinkled nose at me “You smell of emotions. A mess of emotions. Tea?” I frown at her statement then nod. She gets up slowly and shuffles to the cabinets I get up as well, walking around the table and watching her as she makes what I assume is tea. She brings out several plants from a jar and soaks them in warm water, then she sieves them into a coffee pot. “What is this?” “Just some herbs, will help you relax” she serves the tea into two small cups hands me one, and shuffles back to the table. “Come Alexa” Nana calls impatiently. “Huh?” She gives me a confused look like she’s not the one who just called me by the wrong name. I quickly hurry over to the other chair bringing the cup to my lips, I sniff it quietly before taking a small sip. Gagging at the bitter taste. Is it just me or did s

Zayne is already around the table with a bunch of papers in his hand when I come in, he tosses it on the table before sitting, he picks up a pen and continues reading through the paper. “No meeting today?” I ask as I come around the table “Something worst, paperwork” I giggle. “But Katie helps you out” “Only with pack expenses and anything Dark woods related, when it comes to anything outside the pack, I deal with it” he signs at the bottom of a few pages then slips it into an envelope, tying the red string shut, and tosses it on the table like he couldn’t bare to look at it for another moment. Zayne rolls his chair sideways and curls two fingers at me. His pose relaxed, eyes slightly hooded. Unable to resist, I cover the space between us in two steps, with a hand at my hip, he pulls me down to his lap, burying his face in my hair. “So, Nana?” I question. His face in my neck “My mother died giving birth to me, Nana raised me” he pulls back slightly, his eyes smiling “You could

The mind is a powerful tool.Now that I know of it, I don’t try to but I keep reading people, as soon as I’m around living breathing people, their emotions just swim into me, not Zayne though. I have felt him, but only a few times, and when I do, it’s a steady wave. This makes me wonder if it’s because he has a strong grip on his emotions or if he just doesn’t feel a lot.I meet up with Lily on Wednesday, having spent the entire day with Zayne in the house until he had to go for patrol so we opt for a leisure walk around the compound.“Alina?” I turn at the sound of my name.“Hi Rachel”“you haven’t been to training, Oliver says you’re fine though I was concerned,”“Thanks, Rachel, I’m just taking a few days off”“Oh, that’s nice. was just going for a run”“Want to join us?” I ask.“You don’t mind?”“Of course, not”“I was just about to tell Lily about it, we’re keeping it quiet though” “keep what quiet?” lily asksAt the same time, Rachel says “your powers emerged?”“Your ability ha

I don’t know if it’s because I have death on my mind when I close my eyes, but for the first time, I wake up with the scent of blood in my nose, the metallic taste on my tongue. And death behind my eyes. I fly out of the bed and rush to the bathroom and retch acid runs up my throat, and nose, a shudder runs through me.“Fucking hell” I breathe, on my knees, eyes closed, I lean my head against the toilet, sucking in air through my mouth into my lungs. When the earth stops moving I open my eyes, get up, and hit flush. I stumble to the sink and run the water. Patting my damp cheeks, needing to get rid of the bile on my tongue.I suck in water, and gurgle it in my mouth before spitting it out, doing it several times until the bitter taste is gone from my tongue, then I squirt a large portion of paste and get to work on cleaning my mouth.I wash my face and pat it dry with a towel, I close my eyes and snap them back open at the sight of blood and death.“Goddess” revulsion in my belly, I r

That night he was fierce with me, fucking me into the bed. Edging me and not letting me reach climax for what felt like hours, deep strokes and changing the rhythm the closer I got. ”Did I tell you,” I whisper “You look so badass and powerful in your office when you are on one of your calls or meetings I get so wet I want you to fuck me while you’re going on about territories and treaties?” my words end in a gasp as he growls in my ear from behind, his fingers playing between my legs, rubbing my clit, my knees tremble. “Is that what you think about when you see me?” He rocks his hips at a steady pace until pleasure washes through me. He turns me over unto my back spread my thighs and thrust his tongue into my mouth, his cock finding its way back inside me “We’re going to make that a reality one day, hmm?” When he finally let me reach completion it had been earth shattering. I lay back blinking to get my eyes to stop seeing stars when he whispered “Do you want him?” I almost hadn't
