TESSAIt's been a week since what happened at the inn. A week I haven't seen him in the pack. I wonder if Frederick has gone to another pack for some business, but I was too afraid to bring it up, even with Daria. Perhaps he didn't leave; he was just mad, that's why he always avoids me. I knew was mad when I turned him down that morning.I shouldn't have allowed him to touch me again. Yet, the remnants of our bond, I guess, seem to silence the part of me that should push him away whenever I feel his touch.That morning too, at the inn, he would've fuck me again If only I hadn't dared to stop him. What he did make the memory of the first time when he took my virginity on his bed, did it so gently I could not resist, and the disaster that followed afterward, strangled me.'I won't let him do that to me again.' I won't let myself be discarded after being used as a tool to fulfill his desires. Because I knew that once the lust that clouded his thoughts faded, I would be seen as nothing
FREDERICKShe was safe, curling in my arms the whole night and I thought my anger had faded away. I was mistaken. I could hardly think clearly as the memory of last night when that jerk kissing Tessa, rushed back into my mind.His scent lingers on her. The scent of another male on her body pushed Nyx's anger to the breaking point. I knew that if I stayed in the room any longer, I would lose control of my wolf. So I decided to give her some space.As soon as I stepped outside, I quickly dialed a number. Not my assistant at the mansion because I can't let anyone find out that I'm here.âBring women's clothing. Right now." I spoke up as soon as the call connected and hung up right away. I sent the address and didnât wait for a response. The clothes arrived not long after. I wasn't about to let Tessa wear the dress she had on last night because it still smelled like the mess and that jerk.It was the unmistakable proof when he not only kissed her, but also had his hands all over her. I
TESSAI woke up to the gentle sunlight pouring into my room. As I blinked, the throbbing pain came rushing back. It was hard to lift my head, so I spent a few moments lying still, softly massaging the bridge of my nose. Once the pain in my head eased up a little, I tried to rise from the bed. But I felt something heavy was tightly wrapped around my waist, restricting my movement.I glanced down. A scream nearly escaped my lips as I saw an arm wrapped around my body from behind. This means the warmth that emanates from behind...Looking back, the sight that greeted me made my heart race like never before. Frederick was asleep. His eyes were firmly closed. At this intimate distance, I could hear his breath and the gentle rhythm of his heartbeat.I feel itch to glide my finger over his dark, well-groomed brows, tracing the high bridge of his nose down to his defined jawline, adorned with a fine beard. We're dangerously close. How? I just spent the whole night in the same bed with him,
FREDERICKI fixed my gaze on Tessa, my blood boiling as I took in her condition. Hair tousled, her skirt hiked up and button loose. Her pupils were dilated in a strange way, and her gaze looked unfocused as if she were straining to pull her attention together. What really upset me was that her attention was instead captured by the body on the floor.I haven't forgotten what I just did. The blood that stained my knuckles is solid proof of how I just beat my own pack members black."No! What have you done? You killed him! No!"I caught Tessa's wrist just in time before she bent down to check on the man. I couldn't really take in who he was since I was overwhelmed with anger when I saw him kissing her."What the fuck are you doing? You just killed your pack members!""He's not dead yet. But he will if you insist on checking on him."I could sense her tense up. Her eyes are wide as she looks at me, as if she can't believe what I just said. But I wasn't even joking. I could sense Nyx sli
TESSAHe's tall. He has sandy blonde hair and blue eyes that shone brilliantly even in the dim light of the club. The way his gaze raked through my curves, the way he smiled, tells me he's interested in me. "I haven't seen you around before. Are you new here?" I gave a nod. "I'm Bryan." He reaches out his hand."Tessa," I said and took his hand.Bryan doesn't exude any off vibe. He doesn't seem like a rogue or an outsider trying to blend in here. I'm sure he's part of the pack. Perhaps among the gamma rank or something. But even though he was part of the pack, I knew that I really shouldn't reveal my true name to him. I shouldn't share even the tiniest details about myself with him. I need to be extra careful.Yet, there's something within me that pushed me to give it a try. To know about what might happen if I tried something I'd never done before. "Why didn't you join the dance floor, Tessa?" My name rolled out of his tongue sweetly and it made me giddy.âIâm not a good dancer.
TESSA"Your kicks are becoming sharper, and your strikes are more powerful! You've gotten better, Tessa!" Tiara's shouts brought a smile to my face. Once put the gloves back on the shelf, I made my way over to her. "Really?""Yes!"I felt a surge of happiness in my chest. At last, all the time I dedicated to training, the days of learning and practicing over and over until my body ached, were truly worth it. In just under a month, I've seen some real improvement and Iâm sure this is a great sign.Today, we're practicing on our own since Gabe is busy with the pack's matters. Tiara has been my sparring partner for the last three days, and I just found she's really thrilling to work with. Usually, I just watch her, not having the courage to initiate the conversation. Sheâs popular here and has tonnes of friends, so I figured she wouldnât even bother talking to me.But I was wrong.âWhat do you have planned after this?â She asked as we exited the training center side by side. "Um, bac
