Chapter fiveTHREE MONTHS LATERADRIANs POVIt's been three months of partying, spontaneous matches, practice, literally doing everything possible to bury the dreadful memories of spring falls, because it wasn't worth holding onto, whatever happened there stayed there, that was the agreement, and this king doesn’t revisit mistakes; especially the ones that don’t benefit me.Life moved exactly how it was supposed to after that; back to normal, and that was me staying where I belonged; on top. Everything else was background noise; including her. Sophie went back to wherever she came from; quiet, invisible, irrelevant… exactly how she preferred it.“ADRIAN! ADRIAN! ADRIAN!”The stadium roared like it always did; loud, obsessive… just as I expected it to be. I exhaled slowly as the final whistle blew, rolling my shoulders as the adrenaline settled just enough to think clearly again.Another win; another trophy in the bag. It wasn't just another victory; it was a statement; it was a kin

CHAPTER FOURSophie’s POV“We have a problem.” The way Adrian said it gave me chills; he had never sounded so irritated about anything, except anything concerning me, for reasons still unknown to me.“Then explain.”He didn’t. He just walked past me like I wasn’t even there.“Oh no, you don't hill jockey,” I muttered, already moving after him, “we’re not doing that today.”I grabbed his arm.“You don’t get to drop something like that and walk off like I’m a background character.”He stopped instantly and slowly turned around, looking down at my hand like it offended him, then lifted his gaze to mine.“You’re involved,” he said flatly. “And that’s the freaking problem.”“Excuse me, Mr hotshot, but I didn't ask to be entangled in your magical life… but since I am… start explaining the freaking text,” I shot back. “Start talking.”His jaw clenched, irritation flashing.“Whoever did this,” he said, lifting his phone slightly, “didn’t just marry us for fun.”“Wow,” I deadpanned. “Really, I

Chapter threeSophie’s POV“So,” Adrian said, voice low and certain, “you’re going to do exactly what I say.”I folded my arms.“Or what?”He didn’t blink.“Or you’re going to wish this marriage was the least of your problems today.”I stared at him.“So what do you suggest Sherlock?”“That’s easy, we change all of this, and by we.. I mean me,” he said, gesturing at all of me.“You just gestured to all of me.”“Yes,” he said. “Everything about you is the problem right now.”My jaw dropped.“Wow.”“You’re welcome.”He was already moving, like the decision had been signed and sealed somewhere I wasn’t invited.“This is not happening,” I muttered as he unzipped his backpack.“You want to walk out there like that?” he asked, eyes flicking to my legs again. “Very well, be my guest. The hallway will enjoy it.”I glared.“I’m not wearing your clothes.”“Then you’re not leaving this room,” he said firmly, as though I was obliged to do whatever he said… I was starting to think he was taking th

Chapter twoAdrian’s POV“Your wish finally came true,” I said, watching her closely. “You get me as your husband for the next six months.” Most girls would’ve softened at that, or even blushed, smiled, or even adjusted themselves around me like they always do, but this specimen before me didn’t. Instead, she looked at me like I had personally offended her entire bloodline.“Not happening, there is no way in hell I am staying married to you for a whole six months.. Just kill me if that's the case..” she said, folding her arms.I went still for a second, wasn't even offended, just… noting it, because that was new, and for some reason… I found it intriguing.“Your signature would tend to disagree with that awful statement, freshman,” I said, slower now.“I did not sign anything,” she snapped. “And even if I did..which I didn’t, you think I’d pick you? On purpose?”I studied her properly, intrigued by her ego. Most girls try to get close, this one was actively trying to get away, strang

muscular arm.My entire body froze as I slowly turned my head and nearly died on the spot.The most famous boy in school;the untouchable football king,was sleeping right beside me.Adrian Cole.And he was shirtless, that was because I was wearing it.My brain short-circuited instantly, but then I looked down at myself and things got worse. Panic rushed through me, and I quickly grabbed the duvet, lifting it just enough to peek underneath.Oh my God...I was in my panties.“Oh my God!”I shot out of bed so fast the duvet tangled around my legs. I stumbled and immediately slipped. My arms flew out as I crashed into a table, hugging it for balance while papers scattered everywhere. I grabbed the curtain to stop myself from falling, but that only made things worse. The entire curtain came down with me, and sunlight flooded the room like it came to expose my sins personally.Behind me, the bed creaked, and a deep groan followed.“Will you keep it down?” a sleepy voice muttered. “I’m trying

Chapter FiveGabriella’s POV“What?”The word barely left my mouth before the idiot laughed. It wasn’t loud, but more of a low, satisfied sound; as though my confusion was the funniest thing he had seen all morning.My jaw clenched instantly.Killian leaned against the porch railing like he had nowhere else to be, golden eyes dragging slowly over me in a way that made heat crawl under my skin against my will. The stupid morning breeze shifted the edge of my robe slightly, and his gaze dipped for half a second before returning to my face like he knew exactly what he was doing.Then he smirked. I don’t know why he had to be blessed with such good looks.“You really shouldn’t look at me like that, little fox,” he murmured smoothly. “I might kiss you.”My pulse betrayed me instantly.“Who knows?” he added softly, amusement dancing in his golden eyes. “Jacob might finally feel something for you, even if it’s jealousy.” His lips curved slowly. “Still awkward though.”My breath caught for h

Chapter FourGabriella’s POVHis hand slid along my waist, steady and certain, pulling me closer until there was no space left between us. The air felt thick, charged, every breath heavier than the last as my fingers curled into the front of his shirt, holding on without thinking.“Look at me,” he murmured.Golden eyes met mine, sharp and unwavering, his thumb brushed lightly against my jaw, tilting my face up as his gaze searched mine like he already knew what he would find.“Say my name.”My breath hitched.I should have pulled away. I should have stopped this.But I didn’t.“Killian…” I whispered.The name felt wrong, and yet…It didn’t.His grip tightened around my waist just enough to send a shiver down my spine, approval flickering briefly in his expression before his hand slid to the back of my neck, drawing me closer again.“Again.”“Killian,” I said, softer this time, my voice barely steady as the sound of it filled the space between us.His lips brushed my temple, slow, deli

Chapter Three Gabriella’s POV“Mate?”That wasn’t possible. I am human. A human can't be mates to a werewolf, talk more of an Alpha.Can he? My mind rejected it immediately.Get a hold of yourself, Ella.I pressed my hand to my chest, trying to steady my breathing, but it only made everything worse. My thoughts were too loud, too scattered.My fingers went to my neck. My breathing paused. My neck was empty My necklace…it was gone.“No…” I whispered, turning sharply, eyes scanning the hallway like I could will it back into place.“Looking for this?”I turned quickly and found Killian standing there like he had always been there, calm, unbothered and too sure of himself, and in his hand.. oh my god…was my necklace.My stomach twisted instantly. “how do you have that?.”His fingers tightened slightly around it.“Better question,” he said quietly, stepping closer, “Any idea why it was in the same bedroom I had made love to my mate in last night.”The words hit wrong, hard.My breath cau

CHAPTER TWOGABRIELLAS POVLATER THAT EVENING I was driving up the long hill to my father’s mansion. The house sat at the top like it owned the night, tall windows glowing with warm light.Gravel crunched under my tires as I parked. I forced myself to breathe slowly.Tonight wasn’t about my infertility, even though there was a high chance I won't be able to stop thinking about it, especially when I see Jacob. I can do this, I don't have a choice… we will just have dinner, and meet my father’s new wife.. I just have to find a way to get through this dinner.Inside the mansion the air felt strange, thick somehow.I felt restless for reasons I couldn’t explain.A staff member guided me down a long hallway toward the dining hall. My father stood at the head of the room beside a beautiful woman with soft eyes and a welcoming smile.“You’re late,” Dad said, the moment he saw me.“Sorry, Dad,” I murmured quietly.He gestured toward the woman beside him. “This is my wife; your new mother;

Chapter OneGabriella’s POV“Fuck me” I moaned, tilting my head back to give him better access. His hands clamped on my waist, then moved one hand to cup my rear and the other sliding between us.At this moment, it was just him, me and our naked bodies… His tongue scraped the roof of my mouth as he dragged a finger down the center of me, making me gasp, my back arching.He pathed my legs with full force and sank into me, as I moaned and arched, forcing him to speed up to a faster pace. His fingers clenched over my thigh as he thrusted harder, deeper, shafting me in long, fast strokes.Before I knew it he was flipping me over, forcing me on my hands and knees. He brought both my hands to my back and pinned it with one hand while the other hand was being used to spank my ass.I cried in pleasure, never have I ever experienced this level of sexual torture.“Just touch me,’ I whined, arching impatiently against his hand. Slowly, he brought his middle finger down and slid it gently over
