“Wow,” Nyleve said again for the umpteenth time, she sat on my bed blushing over the scans, it was the first time I was seeing her smile like this.“Would you like to keep that one?” I asked her and she looked at me surprised.“Really?”“Yeah, you can keep it,” I said smiling.“I’m going to frame it!” She said excitedly. “I’m sure Miall is looking at it right now,” she said looking at the scan.“He didn’t take one,” I said to her and she turned her head.“What? Why?”“I don’t know, but he did ask me to stop hanging out with Orion because he’s in love with Willow and whatnot,” I said, waving my hand as I prepared to go to bed.“He said what!?” She got up and I shrugged. “He should be spending time with you, does he not know how important it is for vhafunwa to be with each other at this period! I’m going to have to talk to him.”“Nyleve, it’s alright. I respect his decision and it just shows he’s serious about Willow, you should be more understanding, she’s going to be your daughter in
Two weeks passed like a breeze, I hadn’t seen Miall since then nor Orion, I was actually surprised that he did respect Miall’s decision. To be honest, life was peaceful now even though it was kind of crappy in the beginning, I adjusted.I put my hands on my waist as I looked at the wall we had just finished painting with Malakhi, Nyleve had graciously and excitedly given me another room for the baby, and I obviously couldn’t wait to start filling it up with everything for my baby’s arrival.Luckily I had Anin, Malakhi and Nyleve to help me with everything, it kind of sucked that Miall couldn’t be here for this but Nyleve and Malakhi did say that he was working, the only two people in this house that actually got to see him.“Where do you want me to put these?” Malakhi asked carrying the rocking chair and the bassinet crib at once. I pointed to the wall closest to the door and he placed them down.“Ooh you’re so strong aren’t you? Carrying everything at once,” I teased and he chuckled
This part of my day felt sane, lately, I felt like I’ve been losing it. Things haven’t been the same since I cut off the connection between Orion and Amanah, I haven’t even been around to see her and the guilt has got me by the neck.That isn’t even the worst of it, sometimes, I wake up right outside Amanah’s room and I know that it’s Orion who takes me there, it’s as if he’s torturing me just to see what my reaction would be, he knows I can’t see her because I feel bad for what I did.He hides the memories of the things he does when he takes over, but he never fails to always play the memory of Amanah crying herself to sleep, he plays it over and over again, the moment I feel peace, I see her staring at the ceiling with her hands placed over her belly as the tears stream down her skin. If I’m ever with Willow, the picture of Amanah is plastered all over my head and I can’t think.“What are you thinking of?” My mom asked and I looked at her and smiled, I am so grateful she’s here with
“As long as it’s my baby you’re carrying, you belong to only me. You’re mine,” I stared at Miall, shocked at what he had just said, and why the hell is it exciting me? Can he hear how loud my heart is beating against my chest? I must be dreaming because he would never say that, ever!“Anyway, your girlfriend was here looking for you,” I said, playing it off as I walked away to the baby’s room. I'M SHITTING MY PANTS, HE SAID I'M HIS! Wait a minute, Miall hasn't been around for two weeks and now he thinks he can pull this male authority, territorial, possessive stunt on me? “You know, if you’re going to disappear on her you should at least tell her where you’re going, I hate being bothered,” I rolled my eyes as I pushed open the door.“Well, I’m here with you now aren’t I?” He leaned against the door smirking, and can we all take a minute to appreciate this man in a suit? I mean I did the first night I met him but it ended up on my apartment floor. Looking at his neck and the exposed c
I wasn’t angry with Miall anymore, in fact, I liked the fact that he came to spend the rest of the day with me, even though in the beginning he acted like an ass but it was nice being around him.I finished bathing and getting dressed, walking into my room, I found Miall sitting on the bed looking at the scan, I climbed behind him and peeked over his shoulder. “What gender do you think it is?” I asked him and he looked at me and shrugged. Is this what people mean when they say someone took their breath away? Staring at Miall like this felt illegal, his scent wafted through my nostrils and I had already fallen into a trap laid by his eyes. Why do they look so soft today? His canines cutely showed as he smiled, he genuinely looked happy and it made me feel like I was falling for him, why does it feel okay for me to want him even though I know he could never be with me. Perhaps I'm just too close to him.“I don’t know, whatever they are I want them despite what the pack says about it,”
I sat in my office mindlessly staring at the wall, my fingers lightly tapped my bottom lip and I groaned, throwing my head back. Why did I kiss her?It’s not as if I didn’t enjoy it, as a matter of fact, I loved it but I told her that we should be friends and then I ended up kissing her, feeling her body flushed against mine with her legs wrapped around my waist made me painfully throb.Thinking about that kiss was getting me nowhere, I turned my chair and decided to get some work done. Being Alpha wasn’t as easy as my father made it out to be, and even though my mother helps when she can I still can’t get used to the amount of work I need to do here.Maybe I should go see Amanah? I need a break either way, but I do have a girlfriend and I do like spending time with her, but being with Amanah…no, it was simply a mistake, I should come clean, but I should first talk to Amanah about it.My office door slammed against my wall and I looked up confused, was I that lost in thought that I di
I walked down the stairs after getting dressed, what Miall had just done in that room was still fresh in my mind, what was it with that look? Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.“Did she kiss you again?” Malakhi asked and I wondered how he found out about what happened, did Miall tell him? Of course, who else would have! I’m quite sure Nyleve didn’t see anything happen nor was she suspicious.“No I didn’t, and stop eating my guest’s fruits!” I scolded as I headed to the door, why am I so calm about this?“Guest?” Miall asked as he got up and walked towards me with his arms crossed against his chest, damn.“Yes, my tutor,” I smiled as I opened the door and there he stood.“Morning, I’m Michael Sage,” he said with an irresistible smile.It felt like time stopped as I stared at him, his eyes looked almost similar to Anin’s but his were a bit of an electric blue while Anin’s were an ice blue. His round glasses sat perfectly on his face, the bridge of his nose being the perfect fit
“What? Are you jealous?” I asked as I turned to look at him, woah his eyes are darker right now and he is wearing that scowl so well. “You are?” I squeaked out. How amazing would it be if he were jealous?His face slowly welcomed a smile and he said the words I was expecting more or less but it did suck to hear him say that. “Of course not, I have a girlfriend,” he said but his arm still held onto my waist tightly.“How lucky you are,” I smiled, pushing his arm off. “Impudent bastard,” I grumbled under my breath as I walked into the kitchen to make tea. “You sure you don’t want tea, Mr Sage?” I asked through the wall opening.“I think I’ll have some now, please,” he said and I nodded. The poor guy looked uncomfortable.“I’ll have some too,” Malakhi said sitting down next to Michael.“Me too,” Miall said strolling into the kitchen with a smug look on his face and I scowled.“Make it yourself,” I grumbled roughly, putting down the mug on the counter.“Are you angry at what I said?” Mial
