Shannon POV"I don't have to go out to do all that, Eva." I whined and she shakes her head at my antics."You don't have to go out, you need to go out and have fun! Not be a sad burrito on your bed all week.” A new voice intercepted, Emma joining us in my room where Eva and I argued and on hearing her voice, I felt every fight in me die. Eva, I could handle to an extent, but with Emma in the picture, it was automatically a losing battle.My cousin, Emma, a multi-talented lady who works in a law firm was someone you never want to get in an argument with. I tried it once and swore to never put myself in that situation again. Emma, contrary to her outer demeanor, loved to party and worse, she loves partying with her friends. And Eva would do anything and go to any length to get what she wants. And it can be scary at times, so I decided not to push my luck."See? Emma agrees with me, trust me, you won't regret it. Come on, I say we're going to the mall to get dresses for the club tonight."
Shannon’s POVI was starting to get uncomfortable around him but I had no idea what I was supposed to do and I didn’t want to cause a scene and be on the front pages tomorrow."Come on doll, loosen up a bit. Let's have some fun, I can show you how to have a good time." The man said, making me roll my eyes."I'm good, I can just go. There are a lot of other women who’ll be interested in having fun with you but I’m not.” I answered and started walking off the dance floor but he gripped my hand pulling me back in, close to himself.The man tightened his grip on my arms and I winced in pain. The people on the dance floor were ignorant of the current situation and I couldn’t blame them."Please, let me go.""I want to have a little fun, just a little." The man said to me with a grin plastered on his face.I opened my mouth to scream but out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a man move towards us immediately."Hey." He said and the man gripping Jessie's arm turned towards him, suddenly afrai
Shannon’s POVMs. Isabel walked towards me and patted my shoulder.“You must fulfill the Moon Goddess's wishes and the pack’s as well. And who cares if life gives you lemons, make some damned lemon juice, sell it, and get whatever you want.”The room was empty in a matter of minutes. It was just me, Aiden, and our dad who hadn’t muttered a word for a while now. I could envision the wheels in his head spinning and I wondered what he was thinking about. Being alone in a strange land and amongst wolves I’ve never interacted with was something that gave me the chills, I could easily be killed if I stepped on the wrong toes. Walking around on eggshells for the rest of my life didn’t sound like a good idea by a stretch of the imagination. “I know you want the best for me. I do not doubt that in the slightest but this isn’t what I want for myself. I’ve stared into the eyes of the trio, Ms. Isabel. It’s cold and empty, it’s like they have no heart and they aren’t capable of love or feeling
Shannon’s POV“You’re right, Miss Shannon.” Alexander gave me a small smile. “I’m not one. Only a handful of guests have been able to figure that out and you’ve joined the exclusive list.”“Who are you to them?”“I’m their head servant. I’ll be on my way now, miss.” Alexander bowed slightly. “You can call me Shannon, Alex. I’d prefer it if you did.” I placed my hand on the doorknob. “See you around, Miss Shannon.” Alexander tipped his imaginary hat towards me before sauntering away whistling a strange tune.I couldn’t hold back my laughter as I made my way inside the room. It was a typical girls room and it smelled of lavender. There was a mahogany chest drawer and a vintage Milo Baughman side chair, upholstered in a blue Rogers and Goffigon fabric at one corner of the room. A metallic West Elm accent table and a textured floor pillow were added to the design.I tossed my handbag on the bed before making my way into the bathroom. I wanted to look presentable by the time Darius calle
Shannon’s POV“You’re being rude and it’s not nice.” Ricky cautioned me. “Won’t you let me in?”“You’re trying to get into my room by past midnight after interrupting my sleep?” I glared at him. “I would’ve come earlier if I could, Mel. Being the Lycan King is tedious work.” “You should’ve left me at home where I was happy.” I retorted. “You would’ve been happier being mated to your brother as your father wished for you both?” Ricky chuckled.I was at a loss for words and the lazy smile playing on his lips all but confirmed it. “Now, we’ve gotten that out of the way. Can I come in now? Oh, and I didn’t come alone.”I reluctantly agreed to let him inside. He wanted to talk to me about a couple of things and I had issues to address with him as well, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to be civil with him for a couple of minutes. “No funny business in here, Ricky,” I warned, pushing the open enough to accommodate his large frame. “I’m not a circus clown, Shannon.” Ricky chuckled as he walked pa
Shannon’s POV“You’re being sarcastic, right?” Ricky laughed. “You’re under my roof and you will do as I say. Do you understand?”“You will not force me into doing what I have no intention of doing.” I stared at him with defiance in my eyes. “You know I have authority over you now you’re here?” Ricky closed the distance between us with slow, measured steps forcing me to back up a little. “I'd like to see you try.” I retorted. I soon ran out of space as my back hit the door, Ricky didn't relent as he followed me all the way, his eyes fixed on me. “I would like to try several things on you, Shannon,” Ricky whispered.I felt my breath hitch in my throat as my eyes widened in realization. I hated the feeling he had over me, I was supposed to be mad at him but here I was squirming under his gaze. “Don’t,” I muttered but it was barely audible and it wouldn’t stop him. “You want this as much as I do.” Ricky’s eyes darkened with desire. “This was why I couldn’t get you out of my head, Sh
Shannon’s POV“You need to leave this instant,” I muttered, dragging the blanket away from him as I got up from the bed, wrapping the sheets around me. “We’re done and it’s time for you to go.”I felt used and it was hurting.“You couldn’t get enough of me just a couple of minutes ago,” Ricky began. “What the hell has gotten into you?” I blushed furiously as images flashed in my head but I blocked them out immediately. I was done being distracted and used. “That wasn’t supposed to happen and we both know it,” I cleared my throat, glaring at him. “You caught me off guard and in my moment of weakness but that doesn’t change what I feel towards you.”“You’re starting to sound like some hopeless romantic with delusions of grandeur that happens to have a fairytale ending in your head.” Ricky laughed lightly as he rolled off the bed on the other side.He was stark naked and I forced myself to keep my attention on his face before I made a fool of myself again. “You don’t need to sound so c
Shannon’s POV“You’re starting to sound like some hopeless romantic with delusions of grandeur that happens to have a fairytale ending in your head.” Ricky laughed lightly as he rolled off the bed on the other side.He was stark naked and I forced myself to keep my attention on his face before I made a fool of myself again. “You don’t need to sound so condescending, Ricky.” I scoffed. “Your ego is bruised, I understand that. You’ve probably never had anyone jilt you after sex before so it’s quite a lot for you to take in. I’m not like your other women, we’re not even remotely close.” “There it is, you’re finally living up to who you truly are. A spoiled and sheltered brat who believes herself better than everyone because she has a different opinion about several things.” Ricky laughed as he walked around the bed slowly, making his way towards me.“You don’t know me, Ricky.” I retorted. “I’m not as easy to figure out, you’re going to have a hard time with me, I can promise you that.”
