Novels by D.N. Mbata

There were only a few things Taylor enjoyed doing. Painting was one of them, playing the piano another. But her absolute favorite thing to do, however, was to read. Taylor craved books like they were refreshingly cold water and she was dying of thirst. So, when Renee had, in another bid to entertain her, introduced her to the Pack's library, Taylor had thought she had died and entered paradise.The floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stacked with books of all sizes, ages and genres stunned her speechless. Entering the room with reverence and awe, she had forgotten Renee's presence and had simply let herself take in the scene."It's wonderful, right? Our Alpha is quite passionate about reading. This library is his idea." There was a note of pride in Renee's tone, which was understandable. If Taylor's pack had a library like this, she would be proud of it too."I've never seen anything quite so beautiful." Taylor whispered, amazed as she spun in a circle to get a three-sixty view of the room.

Chapter 18Adrian took a deep breath for fortification before pounding a fist on the doors of Duncan's study.There was nothing but silence and Adrian exhaled the pent up breath he'd been holding. He was a seasoned warrior, could kill thousands of men without pausing or breaking a sweat. Adrian was one of the most skilled hunters of the Drago Pack and could sniff out his prey, be it human, animal or wolf from a mile away. It seemed such a surprise that a man as brave as he was standing in front of the Alpha's study, hoping with all his heart that Duncan was away and not in the room.Coupled with the fact that he feared and respected Duncan, Adrian knew the Alpha's temper was super hard to predict. He didn't know how well Duncan was going to take the news of Taylor's pregnancy test. Duncan might either take his anger out on Adrian or take it out on himself. Both options were grim.After waiting for a few more seconds and heading nothing, he turned to leave. It was then that he heard a

Taylor almost slammed into Duncan. It was hard to miss a man his size but in her defense, she had had her head in the clouds.She gasped, arms flailing as she tried to maintain her balance. A strong hand shot out and wrapped around her arm, thus saving her from face-planting on the hard floors of the hallway.Taylor smiled up gratefully at her savior who scowled down at her in return. The place where her skin made contact with his tingled with his touch. Duncan quickly let go of her arm like she'd burned him and stepped back, putting enough distance between their bodies.Taylor tried not to wince and instead, retained her bright smile."I didn't see you there," She said by way of greeting.Duncan cocked a dark brow." Where are you going to?" He asked as he looked around, as if searching for the answer to his question."Oh, I was just going into town to go meet some friends." She told him excitedly.Duncan scowled, looked her up and down slowly and thoroughly, before uttering a single

Sunlight steamed into the windows of her room and Taylor hissed like a cat and curled into herself to avoid its stinging rays.The movement caused a slight discomfort in her nether regions that intensified when she squirmed further.Blinking her eyes open, she stretched and took a moment to wonder why she was so tired. Her mind struggled to recall where she was as she took in her surroundings.Disoriented and groggy, she slowly stretched in a bed that looked like a typhoon had blown through it. The pillows were strewn here and there and the comforter lay in a dishevelled mess a foot away from the bed.What on earth happened here, she pondered, still struggling to regain her memory.Suddenly, it all came back to her. The days she had spent in the Luna Room as the Drago Pack's Alpha's Breeder, the night before when she had lain under the Alpha himself and watched him do wickedly delicious things to her.No wonder Taylor was so sore and the bed looked a mess. It also explained her bone-d

Taylor spun around when Duncan made no move to approach her and found him leaning against the door, hands stuffed in his pockets, the epitome of casual indifference. His eyes were what give him away; they burned with a fury, his pupils were dilated. His nostrils flared slightly and in that moment, he looked like the Alpha that he was.The room was dark with only candles and the ebbing light from the fireplace to aid her sight, but that was all Taylor needed to make out his features. He held her gaze, so many unsaid words filling up the room. Taylor nervously licked her lip and that was all it took for Duncan to snap.Ducan's eyes never left hers as he slowly stalked to where she stood. He was still looking at her when he stopped in front of her, still devouring her with a singular glance while he cupped her face with one big hand.Taylor immediately felt dwarfed by the way he was towering over her. His hand on her face made her feel delicate.The silence stretched, the air thick wit

"Miss, are you ready for your bath?" Mrs. Benson called, standing in the open doorway of the Luna Suite. Taylor whirled around, wrapped in a towel."Oh, um, Mrs. Benson, what are you doing here?" Taylor asked, fiddling with the terry cloth."To get you ready for the night, Miss." Mrs. Benson made to step in but Taylor raised a hand. The older woman frowned, puzzled."I appreciate it, Mrs. Benson but I'm sure I can take care of it myself." Taylor said confidently.Mrs. Benson faltered. "I have express orders from the Alpha himself." She tried again.Taylor wasn't having it. "I don't want to trouble you." She argued. The poor woman had other things to do than take care of her."I don't mind. It is my duty, after all." Mrs. Benson reiterated."I insist, Mrs. Benson." Taylor said. Her firm tone must have gotten to Mrs. Benson because she nodded in resignation."Alright, Miss, if that's what you want. I'll leave you to it, then." She bowed before striding out."Thank you!" Taylor happily
