“I love you Hugo”
“What?”
Hugo was beyond flabbergasted, he looked at Sarai wide-eyed; but in his mind Beast was doing somersaults and howling loudly that Hugo could not focus or react. Sarai covered her mouth,
“I’m sorry… I have no idea what came over me; I will understand if this has freaked you out and I never hear from you again”
Sarai turned to her car, her hands trembling as she unlocked her car and got in, Hugo held the car door open before Sarai could slam it shut
“Where are you going?”
“Home, I think I’ve embarrassed myself enough in these last few minutes”
Hugo took Sarai by the hand and pulled her gently out the car, he held her around the waist and pulled her close, their faces inches away, Hugo pushed back a stray strand of hair that blew over Sarai’s face,
“You did nothing wrong… you simply spoke your mind”
Over the last two days Hugo’s responses to Sarai were less frequent and she could feel a distance creeping between them; it was stupid to think that Sarai was falling in love with Hugo, yet here she was falling unwaveringly inlove with a man she had just gone out with once. Sarai could not wait to see Hugo again, she was ready to surrender herself to his love.Sarai was leaving the bakery a little early on Sunday when her phone beeped, she saw that Hugo had texted her,“Sarai, we cannot be together”Sarai’s eyes filled with tears, if she had just controlled her heart and impulses then this wouldn’t have happened, Sarai pulled herself together and got into her car and replied“Can I call you?”“Yes”Sarai, called and Hugo answered, his voice hoarse and bitter; Sarai felt a twinge in her heart and spoke&ld
Hugo parked the car outside his house at the pack lands, Zeke came over,“things got that bad at home that you had to actually choose?”“Yup”Hugo replied as he opened a bottle of beer, the two young men watched the waves roll onto the shore as they took a sip of beer,“I cannot believe you were going to reject her”Hugo thought back to that he called Sarai to end things, and when she said that she would cut him out of her life; it scared Hugo to the very core of his human and supernatural being. Hugo came here to Zeke who took him the pack elder to give him insight,FLASHBACK STARTSHugo told Zeke the entire story and how he was afraid that Sarai would be put in harms way everyday he stayed with her; he could not do that to her, she was innocent in this entire supernatural war of Rockshore Bay; Zeke could see the turmoil this decision
It was exactly a week ago since Sarai and Hugo had met and already, they had their first disagreement and now going away for the weekend. Sarai woke up feeling nauseous with all the butterflies in her stomach; but that did not keep her down, it was already six am and she had to meet Hugo at the mall by eight. Sarai double checked her little suitcase and her toiletry bag one more time and made sure she had packed cute day dresses and some sexy evening wear.“Perfect”Sarai let out a small sigh and looked at her bed side clock, how was it six thirty-five already! Sarai grabbed her towel and got into the bathroom, once she got out the clock already read ten minutes past the hour of seven am,“Fuck”Sarai threw on a pair of black yoga pants, a cream tank top and white sneakers and tied her hair up in a messy bun;“Sarai, you’re going to be late”“Sadie, he was twenty minutes late for our coffee dat
The door of the bungalow was opened by a middle-aged man that was in a floral shirt, and cargo shorts, he came down and took the bags from Hugo and walked inside; as Sarai and Hugo walked up the front porch stairs, a middle-aged woman greeted Sarai and Hugo at the door with refreshing ice-cold champagne cocktails, Sarai looked over at Hugo;“I am impressed”.“You ain’t seen nothing yet my darling”.Sarai blushed as Hugo held her around her waist and led her to the back garden, there was a beautiful maple wood patio, it had a white umbrella opened, a table and two chairs set up, the patio overlooked the most tropical garden, and a path that led down to the beach. Hugo took Sarai by the hand and they walked down the path hand in hand to the beach, it was picturesque, something you would see on a postcard, white sand beach with the most crystal azure blue water.“Hugo, this place is a piece of paradise”&ldquo
Sarai and Hugo sat at the edge of the pool and continued talking, the more Sarai learnt about Hugo the more she listened to her heart, for some reason she knew that this man is destined for her. Hugo knew he was hiding major parts of his life from Sarai and that sooner or later the truths will reveal themselves; but he did not want to worry about that right now, he just wanted to admire this raven haired queen that captured his heart and he had no intention of trying to take it back.Hugo took Sarai by her waist and placed her on his lap, her toes just touching the water, Sarai smirked and leaned forward, she nibbled playfully on Hugo’s ear and whispered,“Come up to the bedroom after fifteen minutes”“Why?”“Just do what I ask of you, simple”Sarai got off Hugo’s lap and went up to the room, she pulled out a pair of sexy black lace lingerie and a lace bralette, she put on sheer black thigh high stock
The next morning Sarai woke up before Hugo, she looked at the time on her phone, it was ten in the morning, she could feel a whole in her tummy, she got out of bed slowly and Hugo stirred, she placed a pillow in his arms; she was going to make breakfast and surprise him. After a quick shower, Sarai slipped on a pink strap top and a pair of shorts and beach sandals, she walked into the kitchen and Aggie shot up from her chair, she was trembling slightly,“Sit down, enjoy your coffee”“Ma’m you should have called me if you wanted something”Sarai reached up into the cabinet and pulled out the waffle mixture, Aggie ran to grab it from Sarai, Sarai put up her hand to stop Aggie,“I want to make breakfast for Hugo, you can help me”“But Ma’m”“Hugo will not say anything, I am allowed to do things for… errrm… my boyfriend?”Sarai shrugged and Aggie laughed
Hugo chased the imposter wolf deep within the forest, he leaped and got ahead of the brown wolf. Growling and saliva dripping from the black wolf’s mouth,“Today, you marked yourself for death”“Alpha, have mercy please”“Mercy… let me send a message to your Alpha”“Wh-h-hat message am I to take back?”Hugo lunged at the brown wolf whom he had backed into a tight corner, his jaws grasped the neck of the brown wolf; his teeth sinking into his jugular veins, Hugo could feel the blood, he snapped the brown wolf’s neck, he heard the whine of the brown wolf and spat the lifeless body from his mouth, Hugo’s thoughts were interrupted by a mind-link from Bernard,“Alpha, Madam Sarai has fainted”“I’m on my way”Hugo darted off to the house and transformed into his human form; Bernard was waiting at the edge of the steps and handed a towel to Hugo,“How is she?”“Still unconscious, Aggie is with her”“Okay, get my clothes to the guest bedroom downstairs and I will shower and change”“Yes sir”
The rest of the weekend Sarai and Hugo skinny dipped in the pool or private beach for hours, soaking up each other’s love and affection… endless love making from dawn till dusk, every corner of the house had been touched by their naked bodies, heard their moans of pleasure and love. Sarai and Hugo had built a bond unbreakable, unshakable… at least that is what Sarai believed and it was something Hugo wanted to believe, but his secrets were eating away at him, so on their last night at the bungalow, Hugo arranged for them to be completely alone at the house, he had Aggie prepare a delicious dinner, bought a beautiful black dress and heels for Sarai, he left it up in their bedroom with a note attached.“Wear this tonight for dinner, see you at 8pm. I love you”Sarai walked out of the bathroom patting down her damp hair, she saw the stunning black dress, with silver thread straps , she held it up against her body, it was a deep back and low-cut neckline. Sarai red the note and smiled; al
