I was wearing a white dress after so long when Aramis told me it would be a bad idea to still wear the black clothes when meeting my so-called family again.We were in a car together but none of us had spoken a word till now. I had a mix of emotions in my heart regarding going back to the pack. There was a time when I went there like a warrior and thought maybe that will bring some change and now once again, I was going back as a future Luna Queen, but the past was making me believe I will never win from them this time as well.“Don’t try to act smart there,” just when we had entered the driveway, Aramis suggested and walked out before me.I was left behind in a little bit of shock and amusement, what the hell did he mean by don’t act smart?When have I ever made a fool out of myself?I got out of the car in a very spoiled mood but it changed when the smiles on my sibling's faces faded away.Veronica scanned me from head to toe as she hadn’t expected me to wear any other color again.
They were forced to cheer for me as they didn’t want to upset the alpha King who had come so far to share the happiness with them.We decided to take a walk around because he wanted to see my old bedroom. It wasn’t like he was interested or anything about my past life, he just wanted to annoy them.“This used to be my room,” I said as soon as I opened the door. The very sight of the chair facing the door almost made me tear up.I then acknowledged nobody had ever set a foot inside my room after that night when they poisoned Nix. That chair had all the dust sitting on it, except for me. I wish I hadn’t left this chair and listened to my extinct instead of their emotional words.“What happened?” Aramis asked, stepping behind me into the room.“It must be old memories taking over,” Iris had come all the way behind us because she was the one with the keys.“Can you give us some privacy?” Instead of having a conversation with her as she expected, Aramis excused her and closed the door on h
I closed my eyes when our lips met. It seemed like we both stopped breathing until he grabbed my waist and shoved me on his chest. The hard bump made me place my hands on his chest and feel his lips being rubbed against mine.This was the most wonderful feeling that I cannot even compare to anything else. He cupped my cheek with his other hand and deepened the kiss. His lips sucked my bottom lip, giving me an opportunity to lick his upper lip. The skin-to-skin touch was impeccable.He smelt really good, almost too mesmerizing that I pulled my lower body so close that I felt his hard bulge against my body.He was as hard as a mountain in his pants.Once he too felt his di** touching my body, he pressed my as* tightly, making me let out a moan in his mouth.We didn’t seem to stop but then the door opened and hit me in the back. We jumped and parted away awkwardly.“Oh! I --- I didn’t know you would be standing behind the door,” It was Iris, she must have arrived to see what we were doin
I couldn’t go after him because, without my wolf, I cannot catch up with him. I was looking outside the window and absorbing the tears in when I noticed the car wasn’t even on the right route.“I guess you have taken the wrong turn,” I said loudly enough to get the driver’s attention. My eyes traveled to the rearview window and horror crept over my skin when I recognized those eyes.“No! it is the right path with the right partner,” it was Hassel, he was in the driver’s seat and taking me somewhere.“Stop the car,” panic struck me and I commenced fighting to open the door.“The door will only open when we are far, far away from here, my love!” I remembered those words and my mind yelled,Not again!Oh God!Not again!“No! open the door, I will not let you get away with this,” suddenly I was out of breath and was able to breathe fine when a pair of hands grabbed me by my arms and shook me awake.“Phoenix! I was only lying you down in the bed,”That voice!It didn’t sound like Hassel.T
I briskly walked through the hallway and instead of stopping anywhere, I exited the mansion. I don’t know how much I was abiding by the rules at this point, but I was surely roaming around much freely now.As the cold wind hit my skin, I slowed down a bit. I couldn’t jog for too long anymore. There used to be a time that Tanner and I would take runs around the entire woods back when we were in the academy and now everything has turned upside down.As I began to walk in the direction of the royal garden, I only turned around a bit and saw Aramis straightening his back at the acknowledgment of my sight from his terrace.Well, I believe he was going to get upset now but I didn’t care and kept marching away to gather fresh air and force my body into adopting the lifestyle I used to have before.My mind kept thinking about the death of Savia, if Tanner was truly innocent then why did Kian say he had seen him?I must speak to Kian. This accusation of Tanner’s name was horrendous if it was f
“What?” I said and he finally spoke up."No! You scared me. Why did you leave the mansion?" Aramis’ voice made me realize he wasn’t actually angry, he was concerned.“Didn’t you ask me to get out of your sight?” I tilted my face, forcing my body weight on one foot."I didn’t ask you to leave the mansion. Anyway, It's not safe outside," in an attempt to look unbothered, he turn his face to the other side and grunted."You don't need to tail me everywhere Aramis," I stated but my voice didn’t carry the same attitude as before."I do. Didn't you hear the Salutary? You are weaker tha---which is not a crime and neither is a sin," he instantly corrected himself when I watched his face from my knitted eyebrows."But you said weaker are those who cannot see anybody else happy," I reminded him of his speech back when he was trying to make me feel better."That was a different situation," he replied, his muscles popping and making me wonder how great it must feel to have a wolf and not feel too
It was then we started sharing a bed but made sure nobody crosses their zone.It was crazy how I went from being worried about being in his clutches to comfortable enough in sharing a bed with him.It's been a few days and my stay in his room had started to bother Morgana more and more with every passing minute.She hadn't gotten a chance to argue with me because I had been saying in my room a lot lately. Mostly because of my declining health.I had no idea why I would heal and then the wounds will come back?I couldn't even ask Aramis for help even when he had been proving me wrong for thinking he is a messed-up Alpha King."Aramis!" he was watching TV in the living room when I joined him. I had just woken up from an hour-long nap after I had my breakfast.I wasn't the one calling his name though, right along my side was Jocelina.She sat down on the same couch as him whilst I took the sofa on the side."You have a few days off from work. I was thinking about you and Morgana spending
“So, where were we?” he inquired without looking at my flushed face.“How about this one?” he picked up a white shirt and held it in his hands to display it to me. it was then he dropped his hands down to ask me what had happened to me.“What happened to you? You look ---red,” He frowned, looking for another shirt instantly.“The guard dropped by what you have asked him to get you,” I muttered, I could even taste the words in my mouth at this point.“Hm?” he raised his face acting all clueless and then smiled, “Ah! Protection is everything,” he walked all the way over to the bed to grab the condoms out of my hand but his hopes died when I pulled them away from him.“You are going to f*** her?” I had my hand behind my back when I raised my voice at him. He stepped back and then turned around to instantly close the door shut and rush back at me.“What are you doing? You are ruining the surprise,” he sounded so calm that it made me rage more.“Oh! I am sorry! I didn’t know you were going
