Appealing To His Gaze

Appealing To His Gaze

Devin never meant for one night to ruin everything. It was his last night of freedom before his wedding, what started out innocent turned into a night he would never forget… and he ended up in bed with the sexiest stranger he’d ever met. He thought he’d never see him again. Until the morning after, when he walked down the aisle… and the stranger was his wife's brother. Now he's trapped in a nightmare of lies and desire, torn between loyalty to family and the man who made him feel alive again. But the choice isn't Devin's to make… And the question is, does Adrian feel the same?

Devin POV I turned around to see what exactly was going on. These cops would not just barge into my house except they had good reason to and I wanted to believe that this was all part of a plan that they were trying to keep in perspective. While I might have a lot of discrepancies about what was going on I kind of figured out that it would be best to allowed and do their job and do it the best way that they could come up with instead of trying to make a scene out of it. "Mr. Dominique has been a wanted fellow for the longest time and it's a pity that he came over here to hide thinking that we will not be able to find him." One of the cops explained to me. Since this was not going to be my issue I simply stepped backwards and do not allow anybody to come between what I had built for myself and a reputation that I was struggling to keep pristine. No one had the audacity to tell me the things that I showed indulge in or not so it made it very easy for me to just stay away from more

Devin POV Dominique move forward with a smile on his face helping that he would be able to convince me that he was one of the good guys but didn't understand that I was only just playing his game because I wanted to get money information from him and the best way to deal with such people was to pretend like you were oblivious. If I acted as if I understood what he was trying to do he would be able to run away from me I'm not giving me the full information that I wanted to get and that exactly was how to read and enemy that could never be found. He had successfully run away from everybody for the longest time so tell me why exactly is would not take him long enough to be able to cause more chaos. I also believed that there was going to be a difference between me and the people who decided to make a whole lot of issues out of nothing because it made it even easier for us to be able to move out and not do anything. I was also thinking about the most conventional path to be able to m

Aiden POV Sometimes I would never understand what was going through devin's mind. It was almost as if he just wanted to see me suffer with worrying about him. It wasn't every time that I was able to find somebody who was able to think the same way that I was thinking about them and it was okay for me. In fact I was even bothered about many other things different from what was running through his mind and I thought that to some extent he'll be able to understand and just let me have some peace and quiet. "What exactly is it doing with your enemy?" My friend asked me. I shrugged nonchalantly but that didn't mean that my head was not still booming with a whole lot of things and I was trying to figure out if this was the best path for me to tread. There was a whole lot of difference between me and a lot of people and I didn't want to have anyone's blood on my hands because then to be a legal ground for people to be able to point silly fingers at me which was not even my idea and the

Devin POV He's moment of telling me off was not the problem here in fact I didn't think that I had it in mind not to listen to sound advise but in fact that he wanted to change or push me into doing the things that I didn't not want to do was the most annoying. Even if Dominic was trying to tear my company into so I was still going to find more joy relying on him and hoping that he didn't go crazy much like that than to rely on aiding rules bordering on obsession. It seemed as though he had a lot of things that he wanted to prove to himself and as much as that would have been nice to the next person I felt like it was too much for him to ask of me and I was not going to give him that level of Honor. Instead I was going to look for ways to make sure that I was on my right senses and that nothing was going to bring you back to the place where I had vowed that I was no longer going to get involved with. "You better be careful if you don't want any more issues than you already have b

Aiden POV "He said what? Did he even realize that you were ever going to come tell me exactly the stupid things that he had said? If I were him I would have realized a long time ago that I stood no chance but it seems as though he just wants to sleep with you." I said with a little growl. Sometimes when people made such careless statements it was simply because they wanted to have their way with a lot of things but it was not forthcoming so they decided to resort to something stupid because I would never understand how someone in their right senses would want to push me away from a place that I have always been in. Was he trying to tell me that he never figured out that I was going to know what his endgame was? "Look I didn't tell you any of these things for you to start acting crazy or doing something that's going to land us in more trouble than we already have." He announced. Devin was a quiet person who didn't think that people possess the abilities to act crazy and I sometime

Devin POV I should never have had the need to pursue anything except the opportunity presented itself but from what I had started seeing, I was beginning to learn that there was even a whole lot more attached to this and it was all behind my back. I needed to be very acquainted with it just so that I did not fall victim to the circumstances. "So... I have been able to make an arrangement that's going to last for the longest time but it seems as though you are finding it difficult to be able to catch up." Dominique told me with a little smile on his face when I appeared before him. It was going to take a long time to be able to convince him otherwise but in the meantime I also wanted to relax so that I did not fall victim to the mistakes that were happening or around. "I don't really care about most of the issues that have been popping up so I was a father and went straight to the point so that we don't waste our time trying to make sure they are effective enough.

Its Lucas Rayne, the cocky heir of a rival pack and a man he has hated for years. Lucas isn’t excited about it either.

ADRIAN I couldn't sleep that night. I kept pacing. Luckily, Eli was off partying somewhere, so he wasn't there to witness my turmoil.Every time I closed my eyes, I swear I could see him and hear him in my head. My wolf prowled inside me, restless, angry that I’d let Lucas walk away. The bond had sunk its claws in, and I was losing my grip on control.By morning, I looked like hell.“Rough night?” Eli asked as I took the seat he had reserved for me at breakfast.“Yeah. You can say that,” I said, moving my food about on my plate.“Too much birthday champagne?”“Something like that.”I wasn’t about to tell him the truth—that my sworn rival, Lucas Rayne ne, was my fated mate. The idea was ridiculous, even to me. My parents would lose their minds. The pack would see me as weak, maybe even unfit to lead. And Lucas? He’d probably rather rip his own throat out than claim me.“Hey,” Eli said, snapping his fingers in front of me. “You good? You’re zoning out.”“Yeah. Just tired.”He

ADRIAN The birthday party ended yesterday, but Lucas had asked to see me today after dinner. Now here I was on my way to the stairway, because it would be emptied out.It was past 10pm now, so everyone would either be in bed or at the parties that are held every night around here, so there was no chance that someone would overhear our conversation.Before I got down to the stairway, I could already see Lucas down there pacing. He looked battered, and even if it was hard for me to accept it, it was not troubling me as much as it was him.“Adrian, please tell me the truth. You were trying to mess with me so that I'll stay away from you. It's fine. I'm pissed now and I'll stay away from you, so stop this. Please.” The pleading tone in his voice broke me a little, but I couldn't change a thing.“You know I'm not messing with you. You felt it too.” I didn't even know how to explain it anymore at this point.He paused for a moment, then scoffed out a laugh. “No. No way

ADRIAN I hated birthdays.Every year since I could remember, my family threw a ridiculous celebration to remind me I was the heir to the Nightfang Pack. This year, though, it felt different—heavier. Eighteen. The age wolves came of age, the age you could feel the bond if your mate was near.With all this, I was supposed to feel a bit excited, but as I adjusted the collar of my dress shirt, I felt nothing but absolute dread.Maybe because I knew that I was on a fraying thread now. My father knew of some others who met their mates before eighteen, and he's been putting pressure on me ever since. Now that I'm eighteen, I should find one today, but what if I don't?I mean, that was the only reason my dad was throwing a big party and inviting every werewolf's kids and grandkids.If this wasn't a load of pressure, then I have no idea what is. In fact, I don't think there's any amount of pressure higher than this.“Looking good, Alpha,” Eli teased from the doorway.

ADRIAN The cafeteria smelled of coffee and super greasy foods. The smell made me feel nauseous, but I grabbed a tray anyway. I picked some bacon, eggs and toast, because not eating made my wolf super cranky.“Hey, I saved you a seat.” Eli called me over to a corner table.I was walking there when Eli placed his laptop on the table. He always had his laptop with him.“Morning, Alpha Heir,” he teased as I took a seat.“Shut up,man. It's not funny anymore.” I huffed as I sat down.He laughed loudly. “Relax, Kane. You’ve been wound tight since yesterday. What happened? Lucas, look at you funny again?”“I don’t get why he’s here, Eli. The Rayne heir doesn’t just… show up at a rival pack’s college for fun. He’s planning something.” I said and shoved eggs into my mouth.Eli arched a brow. “Or he’s just here for an education like everyone else.”I snorted. “Right. Lucas Rayne in an ethics class. That’s very believable.”Eli was smiling but the smile quickly f

ADRIAN“Adrian, hey.” A girl called as she ran after me. “Hey.” I smiled, turning to face her.Her face looked a bit familiar and I was wondering where I had met her before.She wasn't a wolf though. I could tell that by her scent. But if she wasn't a wolf, what would she want from me?“I'm Chloe. We met at the football game.” She smiled at me as she played with her hair.“Oh Chloe.” I grinned. “Hi. It's nice to see you around.”Did I remember who she was? No.Was I going to let her know that?Definitely not.I saw a lot of ladies everyday. I'm sure no one expected me to keep a track of them, right?“Im hosting a party at my place tonight. Would you like to come?” She leaned in closer, closing the space between the both of us.“Shit.” I took two steps back and ran a hand through my hair. “I'm pretty busy tonight, I'm not so sure I'll be able to make it.”“Oh.” Her face fell. “Okay. That's fine. I'll see you around school though, right?”“Yeah of course.” I nodde

Pride Of The Billionaire CEO

Pride Of The Billionaire CEO

“You should be ashamed of yourself, Emily.” Maxton rolled his eyes and grumbled. He only gave Emily a torn in her flesh ever since they got married, nothing else but pain as energy. Emily only wanted love and nothing else from him, “I'm not really asking for too much, am I?. She began doubting her existence as her arranged spouse made life a living hell for her. Still, she hoped to find love in their three years of marriage but it ended with nothing but suffering from her so-called husband. The pain resulted in her being diagnosed to have cancer and memory loss, and they got separated for a while. She returns with a new husband and a child, but Maxton wants her back and he expects it to be easy. The memory loss was only an facade. Will Emily be ready for a life with Maxton after revealing the truth or will she hold the grudge with the man that hurt her pride?

Emily's PovWhen I woke up, everything felt wrong. My body ached, my head pounded, and the weight in my chest pressed harder with each shallow breath. For a moment, I laid there, staring at the ceiling, trying to convince myself that it had all been a nightmare, the office, her, Maxton… none of it was real.But it was real. The sheets next to me were cold. He wasn’t here.I pushed myself up, my limbs heavy as if they were betraying me. I needed to see him, to confront him again. Maybe there was some explanation, anything that could make the reality less unbearable. I stood on shaky legs and walked to our bedroom, clinging to the last fragments of hope that I didn’t want to lose.But then, the door opened, and all hope shattered.They were there, together in our bed, my bed, their bodies entwined, just like in his office. Maxton’s bare back moved in rhythm, and she, whoever she was, threw her head back in a moan, her dark hair cascading like some twisted crown.My breath caught in my

Emily's Pov Three years later. I continued to relentlessly fight the darkness that was taking over my head. The future of my father's hardwork lies in my palm, I cannot afford to disappoint him. The fight for dominance was brutal in my head. Maxton must succumb to my will…At last! I triumphed. I slowly became conscious of my environment, although my vision was still blurry. I sat up, yawning at the same time, and also waiting patiently for my sight to be recovered. My gaze rested on the wall, within a few seconds I was able to get a clear view of the clock on the wall.It was day time already, and it felt like seconds from last night…I moved my finger's to my bird nest of hair and began scratching it, trying to force out memories from last night. Immediately I was able to recall I turned to my side."Maxton you_" I was silenced by his disappearance. When did he get up from the bed? I highlighted from the bed and strolled down to the kitchen. To my surprise the food I had prepare

Emily's PovMy eyes were affixed on the television set in front of me, I was unconscious of my environment, my body was present but my soul had traveled far away from this planet, into a world of endless questions and thoughts.A sharp sound slipped suddenly into my ear making my heart skip, I turned to the direction of the sound. Lo and behold it was my father. He was dressed in a royal blue suit, lined with royalty, his hands were tucked into his trouser's pocket. My gaze traveled from his body down to the shopping bag on the floor.When did he step in? I must have been so intrigued by my own thoughts that my brain couldn't pick up the sound around me. "When did you step in?" I asked, adjusting the pajamas I was putting on.He took a deep breath and walked briskly to where I sat, and retired next to me. "You have been ignoring my calls," He responded, his eyes boring into mine.I smacked my lips and turned my gaze away from his. If it was possible I would bury him six feet beneath w

Micheal's PovI couldn't believe I married a child in an adult's body. It's really insulting. I'll be the heir soon and this childish lady is all I get? I just couldn't stand the fact that marriage has to be a criteria to be the heir of my father's empire."Aren't we supposed to be in the bedroom together?" Her voice interrupted my thoughts and that pissed me off even more. It was practically like I was thrown into hell and not a honeymoon. I wasn't feeling anything, I was numb and void of love towards her. At the altar, earlier, I just had to keep the role of a good son and marry the person I don't even know just to become the heir. I smiled, because I knew too well I'll be given that position over anyone else. Father has promised I only have to marry her, just for the world to know that I got married. "No, I will be sleeping on the couch in the sitting room. I've got a long day tomorrow, and the best thing you could do for me right now is to leave me alone and go to sleep." I pour

Gracious sights, dropping fountains in the middle of the room, the chandeliers were giving. I watched how the whole room was dignified with love and excitement, there, my friend, Sarah was with me. Smiling and giggling. "You're getting married, beautiful." Her eyes spoke excitement and her smile, I couldn't help but be grateful for having a good friend like her. "Thank you, Sarah." I hugged her after dressing me up, looked straight at the mirror and felt at ease."I should go call your mum?" She said cutting away from the hug,"And, that'll be for what?""To rate your dress up. You know I love compliments.""Well, don't you think the compliments should come from me?" "That's right, but your mum, she definitely knows how to give compliments better than you," I nodded and smiled."......a few minutes please." She dropped her small mirror and dashed out
