Se connecterETHAN'S POV "You can't disobey me now," He whispers into my ear. I didn't realise I was smiling until I heard him say; "Your smile, it's beautiful." I held my chest, for a second it felt like my heart was about to burst out my ribcage. While I was trying to digest the most beautiful compliment I've ever received, he leaned closer and kissed me. I hugged him so tight even though everything felt like one big dream. I didn't want to let go, I didn't want it to end, I just wanted to be in his arms if possible for the rest of my life. 'But what if he hates me by tomorrow, what if?' I pondered. I didn't notice tears were rolling down my cheeks and I was sobbing quite loudly until he wrapped me round his arms and whispered. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you." I pulled back, "No, no you didn't. I.... I..." "You don't need to overthink anything." He cuts in like he had read my mind. I held his wrist, the heat of his skin searing into my palm. I looked into his eyes and didn't b
THIRD PERSON'S POV "Three." He pulled Ethan into the bath with him.As he did, the water splashed around them. Ethan's breath caught in his throat as he was submerged, the warmth enveloping him like a shroud. Almost immediately, he felt Ryan's lips crash down on his. The kiss was unexpected but he couldn't resist.It was his first time kissing anyone, being wolfless, he never thought a day like this would come.He kissed him back with the same intensity, the Alpha's tongue probed deep, tasting of salt and musk, leaving Ethan gasping for air as they broke apart for a moment.Ryan's hands roamed over Ethan's body, undressing him. Once he was done, Ryan paused for a moment, admiring Ethan’s body before pulling him closer. He kissed him deeply while kneading his muscles with a strength that bordered on bruising, yet Ethan felt no pain; only an intoxicating rush of desire that threatened to consume him whole. The water swirled around them as they kissed again, their bodies entwined. Th
ETHAN'S POVI was stunned, my heart skipping a beat as the words “come closer” rang in my ears.I watched as steam curled from the wooden bath at the far end of the room, partially concealed behind a draped curtain of fine fabric.I could clearly see the shadow of Alpha Ryan, his powerful frame half-submerged, shoulders broad, water rippling around him.“I don't want to repeat myself, by the way you're late,” he said, his voice low, calm, and laced with that authority that always made my chest tighten.“I… I came as soon as I remembered, I'm sorry,” I stammered, stepping further inside, careful not to slip on the polished floor. My robe felt suddenly too heavy, too clumsy and my feet too weak to carry the whole of me.I’m not nearly qualified to see the Alpha in his bath, and I’m afraid I’ll be punished later for this. Even so, I was more afraid of the way my body felt.Before I knew it, I was standing directly in front of him.He leaned back slightly, the water glistening over his a
ETHAN'S POVThe evening came faster than expected, and for the first time in years I didn't want to leave the house.My stepdad was still silent and looked like he was avoiding me, but my siblings were all over me.I could see the guilt on their faces and how they tried so hard to make up for it.I think they've finally realised I didn't kill Mum as they all thought I did.Jasmine and I were both outside the cabin, under the cool air. I was lying on my back on this wooden bed that also served as a bench, my upper body was exposed and she was seated next to me, using the healing oil on my wounds both fresh and old wounds. The oil was cool, soothing, and as she did, she apologised over and over."It's fine, besides you weren't the one that hit me." I said."But I also instigated it." She quickly responded."I understand,” I said quietly, watching her fingers slow. “You all were angry. Anyone would have been.”She shook her head, her braids falling forward as she focused on the ugly pu
ETHAN'S POV "Please Dad, I will really do anything." I cried.My Dad stared down at me, his expression unreadable.He was about to say something when Aldan walked in.“Will you get up, and stop acting weak.” Aldan finally said. "You don't go on your knees on every little thing." I froze. That wasn’t the reaction I had expected. Slowly, I rose to my feet, my heart pounding so hard I could feel it about to rip out."But..." “We’re not cutting you off,” Aldan interrupted, his voice firm but not cruel. “Sit down and eat.”I blinked, stunned. I glanced at Lily, searching her face for some sign of anger or mockery, but she avoided my eyes, quietly placing the last plate of fresh vegetables on the table.Jasmine scoffed softly. “You’re so dramatic. Always assuming the worst.”I lowered myself into the chair I haven't sat on for a long time, still shaking. Nothing about this morning made sense. No shouting. No insults. No blows. Just… just calm.“What’s going on?” I finally asked, barely
THIRD PERSON'S POV Hearing those words, Lucy thought for a while."I still don't think that nobody is his weak link. You know Ryan; he doesn't get attached to any wolf. He seems to be reacting to the mate bond, I believe once he's bored he would reject the mate bond.""I know, but remember, their bond is cursed. He wouldn't want the pack to know their Alpha is cursed with a mate, that alone is strong enough to pierce through his ego and shame him.""You really know how to get whatever you want." Lucy slyly trailed her fingers around Liam seductively as she spoke."Of course I do." He responded pulling her closer."You look so utterly tempting tonight, Lucy," he murmured, his voice low. One could hear the longing in his voice.Lucy smiled, "I know I do." Liam’s hand traced the curve of her waist, drawing her flush against him, and she felt it, the hard, thick length of his cock straining against his robe, pressing urgently against her stomach.She breathed out and in the heat of the
ETHAN'S POVHis arms slowly wrapped around my waist and while I stood frozen, the pain I felt subsided.I was yet again confused."How... how do you do that?" I managed to ask.He quickly pulled away from me."By tomorrow, I will send for you when I need you." He said before leaving me alone to my
THIRD PERSON'S POV"Lady Lucy is fussing over meeting you." Liam said."What does she want?" Ryan asked."She didn't say, but she keeps saying if you don't see her she will claw into her skin until she bleeds to death." Liam responded.Ryan sighed."Where is she?""The East garden."Ryan glanced at
ETHAN'S POV The scent of food pulled me from sleep.I blinked blearily, sunlight filtering through the slats of the shuttered window. A tray sat on the small table next to my bed."Meat!" I said out as my eyes widened in satisfaction.I wanted to reach out for it but I paused.For a moment, I jus
ETHAN'S POV I woke up hours later to darkness outside. The cot was faintly lit by the soft glow of the lamp which hung near the door.I jerked up the moment It hit me... my step Dad.If I wasn’t home by now...I rubbed my eyes as I walked quietly to the door.I barely touched the handle when it cr
