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
Winter. As the night grew deeper, my mind wandered to Dante’s words. I was one hundred percent sure that he would force me this time. I brought my knees up and hugged them. Sighing, I rested my head on the side of the bed, looking at the dim light in my room. “Maybe if I never use that knife, all of this will never happen. Perhaps I’d be happy with my pups, and then I will meet Dante with my heart still intact.” My former mate wasn’t wrong when he said I brought the chaos upon myself. I smiled bitterly, knowing that his words sank deep in my mind. I started to believe everything he said about me was true. At times like this, I missed my father. It had been two years since our separation. If he saw me like this, he’d brought me to his embrace and gave me helpful advice. But he wasn’t there. I wasn’t even sure if he was still alive. I doubt they would let him live after what he did to help me escape. The door to my room opened, and then Nina and Skye’s heads popped out. “What?” I
Winter. My days went relatively well after my last meeting with Dante. Aside from Nina’s constant effort to sell his cousin to me and my nightmare, there was nothing annoying. I even started working for Four Seasons again two days ago. As always, people in the kitchen still watched me with judgment in their eyes. My relationship with the head chef wasn’t a secret anymore. They never stopped talking about me behind my back or right before me. They only halted when Brandon was here. Their never-ending gossip, however, didn’t affect me that much. What they said was true, so I had nothing to be upset about. “Hi, Winter. Didn’t expect you to work again.” That was Blair. Both of us were kitchen porters, so she loathed the fact that Brandon played favorite. I smiled at her and blinked one of my eyes, then replied, “Good to see you again, Blair. I miss you a lot.” My words made Blair’s face turn red from anger. She stomped her feet and then walked to her post to prepare all the ingredie
