I lay and stare up at the ceiling while listening to Fenriz’s light snoring. Yesterday I had a plan, and it required me to take vengeance on Fenriz for the deaths of his wives. I was ready to go through with it once I got strong enough, but last night’s talk with him… just threw that out of the window entirely. He wants to trust me, he wants to show me the work of an Alpha, and he wants to be my friend. From what I heard, the other wives were all confined to the compound without seeing the heart of the city, but this morning he would bring me along! Not only that, but he opened up to me slightly about his wives and even told me the name of his beast. If that is not him willing to put his trust in me, then what is? /“Why are you still awake? We have a big training session scheduled for tomorrow!”/ Ahmya’s voice echoes in my head, and I cringe. Ever since her attitude towards Fenriz changed yesterday, I have been slightly cautious around her. She wanted me to trust him, but the mom
Not only does my mate want to try with me, but Kai and Konstantin have found Lilith alive. Barely hanging on with what she has been through, but still alive nonetheless. Umiko holds on to my every word as I recall my relationship with Lilith over the years and why I let her go. She knows about prophecies all too well; apparently, it is why her father sent her to me. He had a dream about Umiko and me being married.This little bit of news actually pisses me off; I’ll have to file it away and look into it at a later stage. The fact that Kaen was given insight into what would happen between his daughter and me doesn’t sit well with me.After a comfortable breakfast with her, I take her to the hair appointment at 10 am, but my phone rings again before I can drop her off. This time it’s Gabriel Priest.“Priest,”“Fenriz, glad I caught you,” he says in an odd, broken voice, and I frown. “Are you free to talk?”“I am for a few minutes; what’s the problem?” I ask and gesture for Umiko to giv
I run out of the bathroom and close the door behind me as shame washes over me. Gods, I just watched Fenriz pleasuring and releasing himself all over the bathroom sink. I just stood there and watched him like an absolute pervert - and he let me. He didn’t chase me away; he just let me watch as he pumped into his hand like a madman. The entire scene was so erotic that I could feel myself getting aroused, and as I walked away, I felt it too. Gosh! This was supposed to be a day of getting to know my mate better, not watching him looking absolutely gorgeous, pleasuring himself while stroking his massive - “Umiko,” I yelp when I jump up from the leather seat and turn to face Fenriz while feeling mortified. However, he looks at me as if nothing’s amiss while he wipes his hands on a paper towel before discarding it. “I…I… uh… I told them you would be back shortly,” I say the only thing I can think of right now, and he actually nods! “Good; I won’t keep them waiting,” he says in an indi
I am on my third day watching Fenriz working, and I have to say that each day is different from the next. Not only when it comes to his business dealings but problems with the pack as well. We’re in his office at the moment because right now, there seems to be a scuffle between two Omegas; one has said that a certain she-wolf is his mate, while the other states that he claimed her already. Fenriz says he doesn’t usually deal with infighting like this, but the female is from a prominent family within the pack, so he has to be the one to sort it out.“Carina, you need to explain this to me. Both of them cannot be lying about this,” Fenriz says, leaning against his desk while the three of them are standing in front of him. I am sitting in his chair and watching the entire thing.The girl, Carina, shakes her head. “I don’t understand it either, Alpha; I had mated with both of them and felt the Mate Bond Anchor when they claimed me. But surely the Goddess could not have mated me to two?”
Umiko surprises me at every turn. If she’s not settling minor disputes between pack members, she’s working through my financial statements back in the city. If there’s something she’s extremely good at, it’s smelling a rat, and that’s why we’re in a board meeting right now with five of the VPs from various hotels and casinos around the city. For the last two weeks, she’s been going over everything; for some reason, nothing was adding up. She thought it was because she didn’t know the ropes, but as she started explaining things more to me, it started making sense. Someone was lining their fucking pockets with Vega money. “With all due respect, Mr. Vega, why are we even here?” Elias Park starts looking extremely bored at being brought into a 7 am meeting with me. I’m sitting at the head of the boardroom table with Umiko to my right; she’s looking extremely agitated and overwhelmed, knowing that she was the reason they were all here. “With all due respect, Mr. Park, when it comes to
After two weeks of spending time with Fenriz, I already feel like I’ve fallen in love with him. I know it sounds silly, given the person he is, but I cannot help the way I feel. He may be a dangerous Lycan, but he treats me like a queen. He makes me smile and laugh until I can’t breathe, and when he tells me about his past, he leaves nothing out, not even the bloody parts.My trust in him is growing, whereas my faith in Ahmya is fading. She hasn’t spoken to me for the last two weeks, not even when I call her, but I can feel her anger building. It is the reason why I told Fenriz that I won’t be tagging along with him for the next week, that I need to train with my fox. He looked ruffled by it, but he said it should be okay since he had no big meetings scheduled.So here I am, sitting in the garden and trying to converse with my fox before her anger explodes and everyone gets caught in the fallout./“Ahmya, please talk to me,”/ I start, and even though I sense her, I do not see her. /“
“So every night for the last four years, she’s had a dream where she kills you but feels sad about it?” Andreas asks when I tell him what Umiko told me last night.“Yeah, not only that, but she received that fox four years ago as well. If this doesn’t prove that Ahmya is grooming her to kill me, especially with the training they’ve been doing, then I don’t know what is.” I say as we walk up to my office.Things are starting to get clear to me now, and they all revolve around that fucking fox. “Shit, and making you look like the bad guy isn’t exactly hard, I mean, no offense, but look at what she has to work with,” Andreas says, and I cannot fault him. When have I ever been the good guy? I’m the one who kills, not the one who comforts. However, even as I think this, my mind goes to last night and how Umiko clung to me for safety after her nightmare. She wanted me next to her and literally could not control her arousal as I held her. But I don’t know when she eventually nodded off bec
I watch my parents drive away, and the gravity of what I had just agreed to hits me. My mother wants me to have a child with Fenriz before she dies, and I fully agreed to it without even thinking it over.What in the world made me say yes? What made me want to make my mother happy even though she never cared about my happiness? Not only that, but I agreed to it without Fenriz even saying it's okay!“Umiko,” his voice cuts through my panicked thoughts, and my head snaps towards him. He walks over to me with his hands in the pockets of his slacks and smiles slightly. “Are you okay?”I don’t know why it happened, but as soon as he asked me this, it was as if a floodgate opened, and I just broke down in tears. He wraps his arms around me in a warm embrace and simply holds me close while I let out whatever is pent up inside of me.Hurt, anger, disappointment, and sadness - everything that little girl felt while trapped in her childhood home without any help from her siblings or mother. I j
