Audrina’s POVI lay on my bed, hands clutching my teddy to my chest. The feeling of Ethan’s knee against mine kept playing in my mind. I placed my chin on the top of the teddy, hugging it tighter.Downstairs, Victor had cornered Ethan in the study after dinner. I didn't know exactly what he said, but I knew what was said, because when Victor left the study, his face carried the expression of someone who had delivered a warning to a man too far gone to take it. I grin at the teddy. I would not make it easy for Ethan if he tried to deny what existed between us.My phone rang, interrupting the silence. I pulled it out and frowned. It was Max."Hello?" I said.Max giggled on the other end. "Hello, Audrina. You have been avoiding my calls. Why?"I rolled my eyes, already picturing what lie I needed to tell. "Why are you being so protective? My phone screen got broken and I just got it repaired. My mother had to take it to the engineer herself.""Okay," Max said, sounding like he believed m

Audrina’s POV Ding-dong.Ding-ding.The dinner bell alerted with an urgent precision that made my skin prickle. I sat at the edge of my bed, staring at the wall clock. It was 5:03 p.m. I hadn’t wanted to join them downstairs. I’d prefer eating my food in my room, but my mother wouldn’t allow me to eat there. She had always insisted that dinner was a compulsory performance for the family to eat together. Besides, my stomach had been rumbling with a persistent hunger I couldn’t ignore.I went down the stairs, dressed in a bum short and a crop top revealing my entire abdomen and the pink curves of my nipples. I loved to dress like this whenever it was evening, and my mom hadn’t mentioned anything bad about it.Damn it, you are so hot, Ethan would say, spanking my ass when he cornered me.The walk to the dining area came too fast. The room was elegant and well-arranged, just like always. My mother sat at the table, looking like she had been reading through me. She glanced at me with a sm

Audrina’s POV I couldn’t believe this. After last night, Ethan had been avoiding me. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. The word looped in my head as I pushed my way down the hallway toward his study. I should have left it alone. I should have. I didn’t. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. He was at his desk, eyes on his monitor like nothing in this house had shifted. “Are you avoiding me?” I asked. He looked up slowly. That easy grin sat on his face like everything was normal . “Audrina, I’m busy.” He turned back to his screen. “Can we talk later?” “I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what I did wrong.” I said. My gaze flicked briefly to the portrait on the wall—my mother and Ethan, frozen in something that suddenly felt fake. “Will you keep your voice down?” he asked quietly. “Your mother is in her room.” “I don’t care.” His jaw tightened. “I expect you to control your emotions. Aren’t you an adult?” he continued. “Your mother is my wife. She is in he

Audrina’s POV My eyes locked on the dark line of his cock through his boxers. FUCK. My breath came in shallow, ragged hitches, and I could feel the slick heat between my thighs, a heavy ache that made me want to slide down his body right then and there. I was already ruined for him, completely wet.Ethan’s breathing was a jagged mess. His hand came up, his large, calloused palm cupping the side of my neck before his thumb slid slowly down, grabbing the slope of my BOOB.I gasped, my back arching into his touch as my nipple pushed hard against his skin."Audrina," he groaned, the sound coming out deep from his chest. "You have no idea what you’re doing to me."I leaned into him, the friction of my thin shirt against his bare chest made my nipples stands up, a sharp jolt of pleasure shooting straight down to between my legs. I felt his cock harden even more against my stomach, a silent noticed that he was just as HORNY as I was."Touch me," I pleaded, my voice breaking. "Please, Dadd

Audrina’s POV A challenge.My breath caught slightly, my fingers curling at my sides as I stared at him. “You're unbelievable," I muttered. Ethan didn't move. "Am I?”I stepped closer anyway. Slowly. I was aware that every inch of distance I closed mattered. His gaze followed me the entire time. “You could just give it to me," I said, stopping just in front of him.He pouted his lips. “I could."My breath shook. " Why are you doing this?”"Because I don't like repeating myself.”"And I don't like being controlled.”He licked his bottom lip and my breath hitched. I hoped he didn't notice it. "Then stop giving me reasons to,” he said.Fine. I blocked all the thoughts coming into my mind and reached into his pockets. And just as my fingers brushed the fabric, his hands closed around my wrist. “Do you really think," he said, caging me in between his arms. “That this will stop me from knowing what you're about to do?"My heart raced. “I just want my phone."“No." He corrected. “Y

Audrina’s POVI turned and rolled on the bed. My head hurts. The sunlight filtering through the curtains felt too bright, like it was punishing me for something I hadn't fully remembered yet. I groaned softly, turning onto my side and pulling the blanket over my head. Bad idea. The moment I did that, the room spun. “Ugh… “"Serves you right.” A voice said beside me.I froze.My eyes snapped open and my mother stood by the dresser, arms resting on her waist. I wasn't really happy to see her there after the scolding she gave me last night. It felt weird seeing her again… I mean she was rarely at home. Most times, it was just me and Ethan. She had a look that said, whatever I was feeling, I deserved it. “Good morning," Lilian, my mother said dryly. I blinked, gathering myself. " What… time is it?"She shrugged. “Late enough to be embarrassed.""Mom…” I winced. "Don't ‘Mom’ me," Lilian cut in. “Do you have any idea what you looked like last night?" The memories rushed back immed

Chapter 18: Candice's POVDid Alpha Austin just ask me if I was okay? And then ask if I worked here. And I detected softness in his voice.Of course, his aura is suppressing but the love I have for him is greater than that aura. He is so handsome, I can't help but fall harder. I danced into Susan's office to find her in the corner, looking pale as a white sheet."Suz, what's up?" I asked carefully. "Are you okay?""I... I'm fine." She whispered. "Has he left?""Who? Alpha Austin?"She nodded too quickly. I laughed softly. Was she afraid of him?"Are you afraid of him? What's there to be afraid of? He's just like you and I and everyone else." I praised.She glared at me. "You only say that because you're obsessed with him."I gasped aloud, touching my chest as if I was hurt. "Obsessed?""Mmhmm." She nodded."I am not obsessed, obsessed is such a strong word. You could say, I find him attractive.""What's the difference?" She asked. I giggled. Susan can be such a sweetheart. I can't be

Chapter 17: Austin's POVI watched the surprise on her face when I asked her to eat with me. She wasn't a bad person, she had a good personality and the only issue she had was her inability to speak.I had an important meeting today and I didn't want to miss it. She was also a very good chef."This is nice." I complimented. "The pasta is so tasty and I love the meatballs. It's exactly the way I like eating my meat."She smiled softly. She must have been so excited that I had complimented her cooking without her having to ask. She still wasn't comfortable eating with me. I had to hurry and finish my meal. I took only a glass of wine."You can have some if you want," I said. Seline was so surprised and every time I permitted her to do something or spoke nicely to her, she would look surprised and then sad.I left the dining and allowed her freedom to eat. I watched her for a while and I saw that she became comfortable and ate properly. I suddenly returned and she paused in her movement

Chapter 16: Seline's POVBad enough that I had to spoon-feed Austin, he made me stay up all night, watching him sleep. It was torture for me since I was equally tired. Eventually, I fell asleep on the floor. I lay completely on the floor and I slept there till morning. I only managed to get about four hours of sleep and by morning, I was still very sleepy.I opened my eyes and raised my head slightly. He was still in bed. I thanked the goddess in my heart. At least he didn't leave so he wouldn't know if I slept or not."Finally awake?" He asked and I jolted up in fright. He did know that I slept off!I slowly got up from the floor. I bowed in greeting and he stared back at me."You slept on the floor." He stated. I nodded. I mean, I slept on the floor."Why?" He asked.I was tired and sleepy, I couldn't hold it in. He chuckled. "So you chose to sleep on my floor?"After asking, he threw his legs down from the bed and stood up. My eyes widened in surprise. He could move his body?"Ye

Chapter 15: Seline's POVHe just said he was human. Did he know what that meant to me? It was a subtle reminder of what I had done. The evil I let my father compel me to do. Could I ever forgive myself? I noticed that his gaze was on me and I willed myself to be strong."I'm also hungry, do you think you can get me something to eat?" He asked.I was more than surprised by his new behavior. If I had known that the potion would make him act like this, I might have done it earlier. But the cost is too much and I feel guilty. Perhaps I should just drink the second one and write a note to him?Father said it will kill him off slowly, which meant I wouldn't die immediately. What if he caught me before I died and went through extra means to bring me back just to punish me?I nodded."Alright, hurry up, it's getting late." He said and relaxed back in his bed. I stood up and left his chamber.The person who had stopped me earlier was a servant. She dared to accuse me of doing something I woul

Chapter 14: Austin's POVThe food was sweeter than usual and if she hadn't tasted it with me, I wouldn't have believed that she didn't slip something into it. Everything seemed to taste good and I just felt somehow happy about it.I decided to go out and check on her if she was training properly. I noticed that she was doing her training well but how she did it would tire her out too quickly. No wonder she was always so tired after training.I helped her by giving her some tips and I noticed how well she took them. Suddenly I felt dizzy as if my eyes went closed for a nanosecond. I opened it immediately.Are you okay?"I feel a little dizzy."Maybe you should go and rest.Seriously, seeing her gesture things to me always made me pissed. I sighed and turned to go. Being an Alpha meant having to look okay even when you weren't. So I had to force myself to walk steadily to my chamber. I knew I was being watched by her and I didn't mind.The moment I entered my chamber, I felt this pang

Chapter 13 Seline's POVMy gaze remained on the vials that stood in my drawer. Was I supposed to listen to a man who had made my life hell? Or protect a man who was bound to make my life another hell?Would I ever experience something like freedom in my life? I picked them up. One was red and the other was green. I knew that the red one was poison. That meant that the green one was the one that would lock up his wolf forever.I took the green one and placed it in my dress. I the red one, I hid it properly. Even if I wasn't going to accept yet, I wasn't also going to allow myself to be jeopardized by it. It was time for me to begin my service to Austin for the day. I quickly made my way to his chamber. He was seated in his bed with his back to the backrest of the bed. His eyes were on me from the time I entered the room, almost as if he had been expecting me.I bowed in greeting, putting my hands in a pleading manner before me. His gaze suddenly turned hard, seeing me gesture my gree
