Chapter: Chapter 31 Mind Over Matter.~LUNA~Just like Mia had predicted, Ace's large frame filled the doorway, his smile bright and gaze tender. "Are you girls done shopping? I ordered takeouts for lunch except you're still—" "No. We're done." Mia butt in, scampering away from the bed immediately, just as I was about to tell Ace that I wasn't sure Mia was. "We're totally interested in the takeout. We'll join you downstairs in a few minutes." She replied gleefully as she stood beside me at the door.My hard gaze was fixed on her, wondering how on Earth she could be so free with someone she had met just a few hours ago. That wasn't me. But leave Mia to be as daring as she could get.But that wasn't the only reason for my hard gaze. The last thing I wanted right now was to leave the confines of this room and risk having a face-off with Alex.'God, Luna. Call him Xander like everyone else!' I chided myself before Ace's voice snapped me back to reality."Okay. I'll be waiting for you girls downstairs." I turned to see his g

Chapter: Chapter 30 Juicy Details...~LUNA~"Nah-uh!" I shook my head vigorously, waving my palm at Mia in firm refusal. "No way in hell am I giving that a third thought. I can't afford another heartbreak." I added when her brows furrowed in confusion, her gaze narrowing at my last words."Another heartbreak?" She echoed. "Are we talking about the heartbreak that asshole Eric dished out, or was there another one I didn't know about?" I continued staring at her with a blank expression, but was fully aware that I inadvertently made her aware of my first issue with Alex. Unless her mind didn't register the first words—"Wait..." She held up her hand. "What do you mean by third thought?" Her lips parted in a knowing grin as she started tugging on my hand that was splayed on my lap. "Come on, Luna. Spill!" Great! Good luck thinking that she didn't pick up on my first words. Of course, she did. If not, she would cease to be Mia— my hyperactive best friend.Now, how do I start narrating that I was actually calling Alex out to

Chapter: Chapter 29 Hopeless~XANDER~Immediately I stepped foot into the house, I went straight to my study, aiming to immerse myself in work. Instead of using the study in my room, I figured it was best I stayed downstairs, a little far from her.That way, I would be able to keep the raging animal inside of me that wanted nothing but to wrap my arms around her and whisper sweet things to her.The fact that I was even considering that scared me, even more than the awareness that the person who wiped my family from the surface of the Earth was still out there, and might be looking for me....if he hadn't already found me.Instead of heading to the desk as I intended, I made a beeline for my mini bar, desperate for some alcohol reinforcement.This evening was ending the way I'd hoped. We were just getting along after what happened last night. And now? We were back to square one.Square fucking one!!A frustrated growl tore through me as I grabbed the bourbon sitting pretty in the secluded part of my mini bar, jaw

Chapter: Chapter 28: Nursing Her Broken Heart.~LUNA~It took several minutes but I was able to pull myself together. That was when it occurred to me that Mia had been waiting for me. Shot!"But she said she would be waiting at the front porch, right?" I asked rhetorically as I glanced around the spacious porch and gasped when I saw her huddled on one of the comfy cushions in a corner of the porch.She pressed her lips together as she held my gaze, sinking into the couch as though she wanted to disappear into it."Ace wanted to show me to your room, but I realized I didn't collect the key from you." She explained, batting her eyelids pleadingly. "Plus, I told you I would be waiting for you here so..." Her voice trailed off as she tilted her lips from side to side. Well, she knew I was about to murder her for being here all this time and not saying a word, while I poured out my heart in hopes that I was alone.But quite frankly, I had zero strength for that. On a perfect day, when my heart wasn't shredded to pieces and handed over

Chapter: Chapter 27 Shattered Hearts.~XANDER~For the first time in an insanely long time, I felt tears burning at the back of my eyes. That had bloody never happened, not since after I witnessed my parents' death. Emotions became a thing of the past to me— turned off and never to be resurrected again. But today, right in my parking lot, I felt the irresistible urge to cry as I watched her leave. I felt like my insides were practically burning and my body was being ripped out of me. It didn't feel good. With each step she took farther away from me, my heart shredded. I wished I could take back those words. That I could tell her the real truth. That she fucking meant everything to me.But that was the problem. It was very wrong and dangerous for me to admit that, because I wasn't supposed to feel in the first place, remember?Andy had drummed it in my ears a thousand and one times, and that was enough to set my heart straight. I had made my mistake of letting myself go deep into her that night. I was supposed to let i

Chapter: Chapter 26 The Heartbreaking Closure.~LUNA~The heat that radiated off his body, as well as the warmth brought about by his big hands that were wrapped around my slender body, was so soothing that I totally lost myself.I leaned more into his embrace, wanting to soak up that warmth and heat if possible. I didn't realize how afraid I was, and how much Eric's threat had affected me till I was latching onto Alex's body as though he held the keys to life itself.The way he wrapped his big hands around me indicated he was all fine with it, and the words he whispered into my ears."I got you, Dewdrop." It took me right back to the scene outside the country club when he swung in to save me from Eric's perverted hands.I wanted him to save me again. Every other day if possible. I wasn't ashamed of my desires. I needed him. We fit right together, like two pieces of a puzzle waiting to be fixed. But his words in the kitchen last night kept ringing in my ears. Plus, his dismissal.Perhaps, he didn't mean it. I wanted to attribute i

His Breeder, His Second Chance Mate
"The goddess has chosen you to carry my pup. This is not a marriage, it's just a breeding arrangement. You —"
"I'm not interested in any of your breeding whatever —"
"It's not a choice. It's either you do it freely or by force. You sure know I don't like my patience being tasted."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aria Kyncaid was mistaken as her twin, and was forced into having sex with the drunk Alpha Adrian of Moon Crescent Pack who chased her out the following morning. Her mum and her sister, Arya, accused her of stealing Arya's man.
Heartbroken, she decided to leave the pack,
Alpha Adrian was instructed by the priestess to find the girl he slept with, that she had been chosen by the moon goddess to carry his pup.
Alpha Adrian found Aria in his pack and informed her of the priestess instructions.
She refused and he threatened to force her into it.
Aria had no choice but to follow him to his mansion. That night she shifted and discovered another shocking news — Alpha Adrian is her mate.
With Aria near her, Alpha Adrian's resolve was threatened because of the growing feelings he had for her.
Aria fought the mate bond initially, but as days rolled by, she found herself being drawn to him.
Breeding arrangement was slowly becoming more when Arya, Aria's twin, struck with her evil machination, putting a rift between them with the excuse that Aria stole her man.
Would Adrian defy Arya's schemes and reclaim her second chance mate and would Aria be claimed by her mate, despite her sister's evil schemes?

Chapter: Chapter 43 Red-stained Cheeks.~ARIA~Cora couldn't even let me get seated on the couch before she continued prodding me with her twenty questions."Come on," she began, batting her eyelids suggestively. "Tell me everything."A huff escaped my lips as I fixed her a narrowed gaze. "You mean after trying to tell the entire pack about my sex life right?"She burst into a soft giggle, apparently still hyper as a result of devouring her favorite fruit "Let me guess..." She cleared her throat. "You both couldn't hold yourselves anymore and had to do it in the restroom of the eatery right?" She asked with a wink.A soft gasp escaped my lips as my widened eyes regarded her. "Gosh! You're unbelievable!" I muttered when I was able to get my speaking ability back, amid my fluttering heart and burning cheeks. Cora threw her head backward in a slightly loud laugh."That's not what happened!" I hastily added, in case my reddened cheeks were giving the impression that it was."Then why are you blushing as though your life depen

Chapter: Chapter 42 A fucking Goner...~ADRIAN~Thoughtfully, I decided to adopt a don't-ask-don't-tell policy in this situation. Ignoring his narrowed gaze, I pretended to be busy with my laptop, trying to go over the slides that Ingrid used in the presentation, to check if she covered all angles.I was on the last slide when a shadow fell on me. Goddess, I knew he wouldn't give this up. Clearly, he wasn't ready to take my silence as a sign to back off."You seem so engrossed, yet distracted, Alpha." The mockery in his voice wasn't lost on me. "What do you think about the presentation?" My teeth dug furiously into my lower lip, my hands freezing on top of the keyboard as I looked up at him. The knowing glint I caught in his gaze showed he knew just what I was going through and was probably determined to frustrate me with questions. Well, it was up to me to answer his annoying questions or not.But shying away would be giving him an upper hand, and this wasn't a situation where I would gladly let go of my stand, else he w

Chapter: Chapter 41 Bodily Present.~ADRIAN~I was bodily present in the meeting, but I tried my hardest not to be absent-minded. Well, that wasn't working. I had arrived at the conference hall a minute before the meeting was scheduled to start, with Dexter peering at me with a knowing smile. I had to give him a death glare before he schooled himself and entered the hall.But till now, I could feel his eyes on me. As though he were aware of my struggles. Aware of how I was trying to conceal my hard-on from just a lunch with Aria.'Goddess! What am I? A honeyed teenager?'This absentmindedly thing was definitely working, because all I could think of was the way I would ravish that slender body of hers tonight. And to think that tonight would be different from those two nights we had each other. It would be consensual, life changing. The more reason for the strain in my tailored pants. Adel couldn't stop growling in restlessness as the meeting dragged on. We were both on the high. I wanted to feel every part of her bod

Chapter: Chapter 40 Identity Crisis...~ARIA~ Cora texted me that she was already home by the time I finished at the Eatery. I had to stay back and get done with my meal. While the Alpha could graciously leave his meal halfway, I couldn't because I didn't like wasting resources, much more food. I got over the butterflies in my stomach, because its inventor wasn't around at the moment. His final words, "Better get ready for me tonight." Stayed with me till I left the eatery with shaky legs. Sure I would. But the thought of what he would do to me brought back the butterflies that had hitherto deserted my stomach. Great! I stepped out of the Eatery, glancing around as the friendly air blew in my direction. They weren't friendly to my sensitive body, thereby making me feel a little cold. All because the Alpha's words couldn't leave my ears. "Girl! Where are you?" Cora's voice literally rang from the other end, as soon as my call went through. "I'm still in front of the Eatery. Any direction as to how I can find my

Chapter: Chapter 39 Hiding Behind A Wine Glass.~ARIA~"Don't pop champagne just yet, princess. The battle had just begun. I will have him back no matter what." I analyzed, halfway through our meal. That was one of the couple of statements Harriett made during our squabble earlier today. The one that struck a nerve. Now, it all made sense. Obviously, Harriett had already made plans to use her position as the heiress to bring Alpha Adrian to her bosom again. So, that was what was inflating her ego? Her father's money. From what I heard from Alpha Adrian, he had been chasing that contract for a while now.It seemed to me that the partnership wouldn't have been awarded if Harriett hadn't gotten involved. Wow! How convenient.Still looking as shell-shocked as they came, I guarded my gaze— which unknowingly strayed, along with my thoughts— back to Alpha Adrian.His eyes were slightly narrowed at me, as his hands held the wine glass close to his lips.I schooled my expression back to normalcy as I held his gaze. I was curious to know

Chapter: Chapter 38 His Striping Gaze.~ARIA~ With several measured breaths, I found myself padding through the door of the eatery, my heart pounding in anticipation. Cora left immediately after we got here, but not before tilting a knowing gaze at me as well as a smile that indicated she could see through my already frayed nerves. "Call you later," she had tossed over her shoulder before setting off to cross the slightly busy road back to the pack's market. Now, I was standing by the door, glancing around and sniffing to find his scent. I didn't need to sniff further because his overwhelming pinewood scent filled my nose as my gaze rested on him. Well, he had already seen me because his eyes were already making me feel as though I was naked and at his service. Damn! Talk about a striping gaze. More than anything, I wished Cora was here, so she could witness this torturing gaze and tell me if he wasn't feeling the same way I was. Even if he hadn't said anything in that regard, I found confidence in that gaze he was sh
