MasukGerard is one stubborn alpha...
Silja POV He admits he was wrong. That must be really hard as an Alpha to admit. He said it before, right? Alphas don’t like being told what to do. I don’t know any man honestly that would make himself this vulnerable for a woman, when he had another one waiting for him. ‘Because he isn’t lying, Sils.’ Pau said. ‘Terk says that Gerard could barely think when he saw you on the ground bleeding. He is doing everything he can to find out who is behind your kidnapping. He doesn’t believe it was only Donovan.’ I take that information and add it to every other confession of the last twenty-four hours. Then I remember one glaring detail. ‘He hasn’t said he loves me.’ ‘Sils, do you think a man who doesn’t love you would do all these things? He literally gave Trina the boot…in front of you. Told off his mother…in front of you. Give him an honest shot, and I bet he will say it soon. This isn’t just a confusing time for you. You aren’t even clear on your feelings for him, even though it’s bl
Silja POVI feel like I am entering another universe right now. What is happening? I didn’t mean to fall on him or kiss him. I also couldn’t help myself when he started kissing me back and firming his grip around my waist.Pau didn’t care about my mind being everywhere when it first happened. She actually told me to shut up and enjoy the moment. Did that even count as a first kiss? I was very much awake and sober for this one.At first, I was going to break away, but something about the way his arms felt around my waist and his firm grip as he held me in place made me melt. I’m angry with myself for being that weak. Don’t even get me started on him, flipping me to my back and him feeling my thighs. I felt all kinds of electric jolts go up my legs. I thought I was going to lose myself completely when his phone rang.Thank the Goddess!It was his mother and she very clearly made her sentiments about me known. She made it clear she prefers Trina. I am grateful for the interruption before
Gerard POVGoddess her lips are sweet. At first, I felt her stiffen and I was worried she would break away from me, but then she put her hand on my chest slowly. I growled my approval. It was low because it didn’t want to startle her and this moment to end.I gently put my phone down and wrapped my free hand around her too. When she gasped, I didn’t think twice before exploring her mouth and tasting her flavor. I moved my fingers through her red hair and kissed her more urgently.I’m rewarded with a whimper and damn it; there is something very possessive coming over me. I want all of her whimpers, kisses, and everything else to belong only to me. I slowly move her and position her almost under me. I move my hand and feel her thighs. She’s wearing pajamas shorts and I’m inching my hand up and feeling her smooth legs and I hear her moan.I’m ready to explore more when my phone rings. I groaned as I broke our connection. A connection I was hoping I could explore more of and now I could st
Viola POV “Viola, I said NO!” Nolan shouted at me. I scoffed, “Like you can stop me, Nolan. Trina will be staying with us for the foreseeable future.” “Woman, I have lost my patience with you. If you want to see her so bad, then go to her pack. She and her family are not allowed into Night Crown!” He bit back. “Oh, don’t you dare try to tell me who can and cannot visit me, Nolan Sinnett! You forget that I know exactly why you brought Jaul here. Why don’t you recognize him. Keep pushing my buttons and I will let this entire pack and all the elders know that my dear mate is a miserable bastard!” Nolan opened his mouth and then closed it. “I don’t want her here. Gerard and Silja are finally getting along. She is PREGNANT with our grandpup. The balance is very fragile, and you are trying to break them apart. They are FATED. Why are you so against his mate?!” “Because she is a nobody. Trina is a beta’s daughter and has connections. Connections she used to help our son when he first st
Trina POVThere is no way I am going to be bested by Silja. She is a nobody with a camera. Now that Gerard has broken things off with me for that bitch’s sake, I am calling his mother. She will help me and make things impossible for Silja and help Gerard see the errors of his ways.Then I will slip back in as the forgiving and loving woman he needs. I will even help raise their pup. The pup won’t be the saint of my devotion, but it will be clothed and fed. That’s as much as I will offer. Our pups together will have the best though.I dialed Viola’s number. On the second ring, she answers. “Trina, darling, how are you?”I let the tears flow. “Oh, Mrs. Sinnett. Gerard just broke things off with me for the photographer.”“WHAT?!” She said loudly. “I don’t believe it. He loves you so much.”“He did. That one-night stand resulted in her getting pregnant. Now she is carrying his heir and I’ve become expendable.” I cried. “I just wanted to call you and let you know that I won’t be coming back
Gerard POVI thought about last night. After everything I said, I was waiting for Silja to say something. Anything. Instead, she blushed and it made me smile inwardly. I think the mate bond is affecting her and I hope it is. I hope I’m not the only one it’s affecting.I meant every word I said. I was thinking back to our conversations over the last three weeks. At one point, she had her camera with her. I saw an old man sitting on a bench and she told me to take a picture. I looked through the lens, and I rhetorically said out loud, “He looks deep in thought. I wonder what an old man like him has seen through the years.”Silja smiled and took the camera from me to look at the picture. “I always see the world differently when I look through a lens too.”“Huh?”She looked at me gently, “People think about things differently when looking through a camera lens. Like you did just now. ‘I wonder what an old man like him has seen through the years.’ Any other day, you would have just walked b
Silja POV “Silja, take the whole weekend. Go spend time with your folks. They should understand what is at stake too. I would like to bring them in here and talk to them, if that is okay with you.” Nolan said, giving me the choice. I look down at my hands and fidget with my fingers. My parents are
Silja POV Mr. Sinnett called me his daughter-in-law. Honestly, of all the people involved in this situation, he has been the only nice one. Not including my folks, of course. I'm not his daughter-in-law though. I am the unwanted party in this situation. “Mr. Sinnett, what can I do for you?” I aske
Gerard POV I let go of Trina’s hand immediately and cover Silja’s mouth before she could finish the rejection. I stand to lose a lot if she rejects me and still that doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the rejection itself. Her eyes look dead and I know I caused it and I don’t like knowing I caused
Silja POV I’m crying in my father’s chest. David isn’t David. He’s Alpha Gerard Sinnett. Mrs. Sinnett’s son and Trina Mayer’s fiancé. We mated and marked each other during our one-night stand, and I don’t remember anything about that night with him. He was going to go through with the Luna Ceremon
