Chapter: Chapter 14 One Good Turn.~LUNA~He called me dewdrop again. I couldn't stop smiling as I stared at his retreating figure before he finally disappeared into his room at the end of the hallway. Not just because he remembered the pet name, but because he suggested dropping me off at school tomorrow. That alone wiped off the traces of anger in my heart at his rejection last night.Even though I wasn't sure where we stood. Or whether there were any traces of likeness he had for me. Or whether that night really meant something to him. I wanted to hold on to the fact that I hadn't totally lost. There was still hope that he might see me as more than a one-night stand. It was a glimmer of hope, but I was willing to hold on to it. See where it would lead me. The one-night stand was just to prove Eric wrong, but right now, it was becoming more. I didn't know how and when it happened. Was it during our throes of passion or afterwards? I couldn't say, but one thing was certain: he had arrested my interest and heart. It

Chapter: Chapter 13 Making Amends.~XANDER~I didn't get much sleep last night. Not because I was up working my ass off, or had a business call that needed to be attended to. But because my mind couldn't rest. It kept taking me back to that scene outside the country club where she held me tightly as though I were her lifeline.For the first time in my life, I jerked off on my own and with the thought of her leading me through."Dammit! Alex!" I cursed under the cascading water emitting from the shower spray.I didn't know how she had become so engraved in my thoughts like that. But whatever the case, it would surely be hard for me to get her off my mind. My mind was restless even in the shower after jerking off the second time that morning, with a frustrated groan that accompanied it. I figured if I wanted to get over her, I needed her to get over me first. But how would I do so without hurting her?The hurtful look I beheld on her face last night was still haunting me. I didn't even bother to check if she had taken t

Chapter: Chapter 12 Apologies...~XANDER~With my gaze fixed on her receding figure, I gritted my teeth to the point I was sure it would crack, but it didn't. I wish it did, so I would have another pain that would distract me from the one that was gnawing at the pit of my stomach.I shouldn't have replied to her like that. But would you blame me? I was trying to cut off the connection that hitherto existed between us. I figured that if I could, it would be easier to quench this fiery feeling that was rearing its head inside of me.But instead of doing so, it drove an imaginary spear through my heart. It was an imaginary spear, but the pain was lethal; I could feel it deep into my soul.Still gritting my teeth, I removed the already toasted bread from the machine and proceeded to dish out the fried eggs. She might say she had lost her appetite, but I couldn't care less."Hell, I am not buying that." I brought out her plate as well and began dishing. Despite the determination to discontinue whatever it was that was goi

Chapter: Chapter 11 "I've Lost My Appetite..."~LUNA~ I delayed downstairs, pretending to be invested in the channel playing on the television while in reality, I was waiting for Xander to be done with his brother so we could talk. He didn't mention the exact time frame for the talk we were supposed to have, but I wanted to know what was wrong with him. Why did he seem so closed off and angry, his eyes losing their earlier sparks? The curiosity was so deep-rooted that I didn't consider the option of going upstairs to freshen up— at least to wash off the touch of that human stain off my body. But when minutes morphed into an hour, and an hour flew into hours, I knew I needed to go freshen up. Plus, I didn't want Ace asking me why I hadn't gone up because I had no excuse to give. As I ascended the stairs, half of my mind listened to any sign of a door opening downstairs and the other was on the banter or should I say the squabble between Xander and Ace. Backtrack from the time when Andy asked if we were a thing and I was the

Chapter: 10. No Distractions...~XANDER~With Andy taking me towards the direction of the study, I knew what he wanted to talk about was serious. And it was something he didn't want any ear to hear. The door of my study was soundproof, so anything done or said there never got out.We entered, with me trailing behind him. I shut the door immediately I got in and made straight for my mini-bar. I had a mini-bar both in my room and in my study. There were times I would be neck deep with work that I wouldn't want to step outside. So, if I needed liquid courage I didn't need to go far to get it.Well, that was a few months back when I still spent time here, and not in my private condominium. But I figured things would change from now on. Speaking of change, Ace had never openly argued with me, playfully or not. But what he did back there... Being so defensive and overprotective... Coupled with his comment at the office earlier today about his guest being special. It was all starting to make sense.Still mulling over that

Chapter: 9. The Squabble.~LUNA~I could tell he was angry. It was obvious from the way he abandoned us at the parking lot and stalked off. He didn't need to talk much, I could see it in the widening of his broad shoulders and the rigidity of his gait. But what I couldn't fathom was why.Still trying to wrap my head around what could possibly be wrong, I stepped out of the car, standing by the side as Ace proceeded to get the key from the keyhole. He was fine before we left the country club, but something shifted during our ride home. I wasn't sure then, because the only outstanding event was him almost getting us killed by slamming on the brakes all of a sudden. My brows furrowed in thought. Now that I thought about it, that action of his depicted anger. But there was still no hint of why he would be angry. I remembered his stare through the rearview mirror when he apologized about it. Nothing in his gaze screamed anger. But his blue eyes had lost their sparks— or was it because I wasn't staring at him dir

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 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

Chapter: Chapter 37 "Perfect Watermelon."~ARIA~Cora hit the watermelon repeatedly, scrunching her face in dissatisfaction. "It isn't ripe."We had finished buying everything on the list her mum gave her and now we were roaming the entire market all over again, looking for the watermelon that suited Cora's taste. I couldn't help chuckling at her contorted face."Let's check the store down there," she muttered, dragging me along immediately as though sensing I was about to protest. Thank Goddess I was wearing low-heeled sandals and not a high one. Goddess knew I would be literally dragging Cora away right now."Why don't you just pick one already?" Despite being in comfortable footwear, I wasn't ready to roam the market a second time because of the watermelon.Cora turned sharply, giving me a quizzical look. The kind that screamed, "Are you really saying that right now?"I could interpret all of Cora's looks, the same way she could interpret mine. "Did you by any chance conveniently forget that watermelon is my favorite fru
