[Isaac]
It is because I find it so hard to control my desires. It is because I find it so difficult to keep Clement from infusing and taking over partially. It is because I find her attractive. It is because I don't know how else to react. I told myself, my elf….maybe convinced ourselves to believe these things. Otherwise, I know I will allow in self-pity and feed that wench’s ego and happiness. I am a rotten creature inside out. I don’t know how to be civil, don’t know how to react any other way, so I react rashly. I spew out venomous words that are bound to hurt the other like I did to Kathryn just now.
Had Clement not stopped me, I would have said far worse things. I could feel her tears as our lips meshed together, I pressed her into the bed and she didn’t protest. I could feel that somewhere between living here and trying to survive, she had lost the figh
First, you do what you do n then you are guilty? Bah! Kathryn reacted and didn't protest because she felt hopeless, you will know in the next chapter ;)
My eyes cracked open and an instant regret washed over my sore and tired body. I stared at the ceiling for some time, mulling over my shamelessness and desperation that a certain Alpha….no Enigma managed to bring out of me. The emotions that swirled like a storm and rattled the bones in my body were familiar, too familiar for my liking. I hated myself for giving in to my primal needs and tried to make peace with it because that is what I would be for the rest of my life. I sighed, feeling a clench in my chest. A wayward glance out of the window made me realize that dusk had already rolled in. I felt like crying but I couldn’t cry. I sat up, the sheets rustled, falling from my naked chest and pooling around my waist. As expected, Isaac was gone like I was a mistress and after every passionate meeting, he leaves and returns to his wife. A bitter chuckle bubbled up my throat. I shook my
When I came to a safe distance, near but not so near that anyone could recognize my wolf, I changed back. The patrol guards strolled from one corner of the border to another. I took in a shuddering breath. Being an alpha came handy sometimes because we didn’t have to discard our clothes or belongings inside them. They just….stayed. How or why? That was a question even people researching werewolves couldn’t answer. I fished out my phone to find several missed calls from Marcus. I turned it off completely and pushed it back into my back pocket. I walked towards the border, unbothered and unafraid. My footsteps alerted the guards. One immediately took a menacing stance before he sniffed the air and as if a switch had been flipped he bared his throat. It was really funny how they showed respect when I know all they would like is to kill me or hurt me. I could sense their anger and warring emotions - a disadvantage when it came to being a white wolf Healer. “I would like t
My back straightened at the mention of the curse. So far, only Georgi had addressed it directly and Helen had almost alluded to it but had never elaborated about it. “Curse?” Sierra’s lips stretched into a wider curve, her eyes, however, glinted with sickening satisfaction. She leaned back on the sofa, folded her hands and regarded me for some time. This stance of hers irritated me to no end. Any and every sympathy for this woman and her son evaporated at that moment. This woman…still trying to hold on to the beauty she might have once possessed with the terrible makeup skills and trying to pretend to be a proud Luna at the same time made my skin crawl. I restrained myself from commenting on these things and waited patiently. My hands rested on the lap, fingers digging into my palms as she let the silence stretch like rubber. “If… you don’t have to say anything about the curse-” “Every Alpha of the Renaud pack is bestowed with this curse,” she said, completely ignoring my earlier
The next morning, Clarissa didn’t mention our conversation and neither did I. We made a silent agreement to not talk about it. Somehow I felt that this whole pack has a murky history that no one really likes to talk about. I have not met the Elders of this pack, which is kind of odd because Elders usually don’t leave away, but I haven’t come across a single one. I finished my breakfast quickly and headed downstairs. Marcus was as usual in the office. I’ve never seen him outside this room, ever. Maybe because he has to do most of the work. Today, however, I saw James as well. We exchanged formal greetings before he left. Marcus shot me a pointed look. He was quickly becoming annoyed at my presence, no longer trying to be formally polite. It didn’t bother me though. I took a seat in the one that James had occupied. “I m
He didn’t wait around. He left, his bestial side taking rein as he leapt out of the window. I stared at the window, preoccupied with other thoughts. Was… Isaac ready to share his secrets? Was he ready to tell me about…his condition? I was confused and shaken. What Janet said…I looked at my belly. My heart pounded as I put a trembling hand over my flat stomach. A child? My child… mine and… Isaac’s. I let out a shaky breath and gazed at the stack of books kept on the coffee table. I slowly went to sit on the sofa, on the spot where he was sitting some time ago. I stared at the first book. A yellowed cover, almost a few decades old, lay inconspicuously on top of the other books. I should divert my mind. What if Janet’s vision is wrong? I have never met an oracle until today, but I have heard that not everything they say is written in stone. Having nothing better to do or think about, I picked up the first book titled ‘Renaud pack’s Rise and Fall’ which was written by Al Mauvin. ~~
“Whether I treat you like a plaything or as my mate, is something I get to decide, pet,” he murmured. I shivered at the use of a new nickname. It took some time for my mind to register his words. However, he did not stop. His lips skimmed down the length of my throat, grazing over the mark. The cool surface of the wooden table created goosebumps on my rapidly cooling but still scorched and sweat-drenched skin. My breath hitched as his lips made a downward trek, nipping my left collarbone where I already knew a bruise was forming. I bit back a whimper when his tongue flicked my over sensitive nipple. But my restraint must have not been up to his liking because I screamed when he harshly bit the nub and took it in his mouth. It was hours ago when I had sneered at him for treating me like that, which made him angry. He took me against the shelves and then on the desk. His furs had sprouted, but he was still somewhat human. “Isaac,” I moaned. I tried to push him away because the sens
“You are what?” I had expected Isaac to react in somewhat this manner. He had come to visit as usual at night in all his half-naked glory, but I had refused to sleep with him and when I told him about being pregnant, he reacted this way. I sat at the foot of the bed and observed him. ‘I don’t think it was a good idea,’ I muttered to my wolf. I placed a hand over my still flat stomach and nodded grimly. He stared at me with pinched eyebrows and thin lips for a long time before glancing away. He put his hands on his hips. “I can’t believe it.” I shrugged. “That’s the truth.”“Did you go to the pack doctor?” he asked. I shook my head. “Astrid doesn’t feel safe.” “Astrid?” he asked, furrowing his eyebrows. I had the urge to roll my eyes. He didn’t even know my wolf’s name. “My wolf,” I muttered. Isaac nodded in acknowledgement. He let out a breath. I remained silent, waiting. I doubted that he would ask me to do anything… negative. My hand tightened over my stomach. “Does anyone els
I surfaced back to the conscious world by hearing the clicking of keys, keyboard? But who…? I tried to get my sleep-addled brain thinking. A yelp escaped my mouth as soon as I opened my eyes because it wasn’t Clarissa who was waiting for me, but Isaac. It felt so strange to see him first thing in the morning, leaning against the headboard and reviewing something on a laptop and that was….something I had never thought I would see. “Morning,” he greeted without taking his eyes off the laptop. For a change, he wore a t-shirt which again was a little too tight for his frame, and a pair of black wire-framed glasses sat perched on his nose as he typed away at a lightning speed. I sat up, my mouth slightly agape. “Wait… why are you here? And…and what are you doing with that?” I didn’t want to offend him, but it was strange watching him work. His gaze flickered towards me. My throat went dry as his golden gaze pinned me to the place. The morning rays of the sun fell on all the correct angl
