INICIAR SESIÓNHer response is instant, “Yes, her.”I nod.Danielle doesn't seem to like Noah. I’ve known it from the beginning, and that might have to do with Rowan tailing her. I tried to put someone else on Noah, but he refused. He said she’s just a girl, and honestly, I doubt if she would listen to anyone else.Her eyes shift and I mirror them, landing on Rowan now. “Oh crap, I think I’m going to be sick.”“Because Rowan hugged Noah and Ellie?” I frown, eyes shifting back to Danielle.“No,” she clutches her stomach, her face twisting. “I think something’s wrong with the wings I ate on the way here, they were pretty cold.”“Okay,” I set my drink on a passing waiter’s tray and offer her a hand to lean on. “Why don’t we sit down. Come on,” I say, trying to help her to an empty table I see.We are halfway there when she groans, “My stomach is rumbling.”I can't help but laugh now, Danielle can be very dramatic sometimes, and this happens to be one of those times. “You're hungry, Danielle.”“Yeah, bu
KINGSTONThe last few days have been nothing short of blissful. No one bothered me much, except for Rowan and Caleb summoning me through the pack link a few times, I’ve pretty much had a vacation with my mate, and that vacation would have continued if not for the mixer Aeliana organised for the foundation.We are late tonight.I couldn’t keep my hands off Aeliana after seeing how good she looked in her dress for tonight. Every time I see her in something new, I keep thinking I’ve seen her look more beautiful, and yet, she surprises me every single time. I held off as long as I could, and if not for her self-control, we wouldn’t have made it here at all.The moment we check into the hall, Pandora Hartley finds us quicker than a waiter can offer us a drink. “Alpha Kingston.” She beams.“Mrs Hartley, you look beautiful.”She grins widely, “But not as much as Liana baby.” She gushes, pulling her into an involuntary hug. I’m holding a strong grudge against the entire family since she disap
I’m scared, Damien was angry when I kissed those men at the club, what will Kingston do if he finds out? Fuck, he’ll hate me for sure.“No secrets,” he repeats. “And I would appreciate it if I wasn’t the only one talking about my feelings when we fight, or discuss an opinion we disagree on.” He tells me, his tone sincere. My lips part, I should say it now, while I’m at the perfect angle of being strangled but he speaks before I do. “Doesn’t that sound better than hiding your heat from me? You’re making me feel like a shit mate.”“I’m the shit mate,” I grumble. Behind my eyes, is nothing but a blur of those kisses. My stomach twists with disgust so vile it slips past the heat. I let my spite drive me into someone else’s arms and Kingston is smiling at me, I should tell him now but my courage fails me.“I didn’t want for that to happen, I was going to tell you, but she got in my head. She said you were hers, you wouldn’t love me like her, and—”“I’ll stop you right there, she’s a frien
AELIANAI stir awake at the sound of a door closing. I prop up on my elbows and stare, taking in my surroundings. I’m no longer in the car but in my bedroom now, and Kingston just walked out of the shower naked. I’m naked too, dazed by sleep and heat.“King,” I sniff.He immediately settles at the edge of the bed, too far for my liking. His eyes search mine. “We need to talk, Siren.”“Okay.”“What you saw at Rivers the other day—”“Didn’t we talk?” I scoff, “I don’t want to go back to that please, not right now.”“I can’t keep it a secret anymore because it’s affecting us, and I’d rather lose her than you.”“Kingston...” I sigh, everything he says to me right now sounds a lot like nothing, but he keeps talking.“I was there because—fuck,” he hisses, pausing now. “You’re not listening, are you?”“I am,” I frantically nod. “I just don’t want to hear that again.”His lips pull into a smirk, “Still so stubborn.” He groans, grabbing my leg and pulling me down until my legs drape over his l
“Don’t you ever repeat this, Aeliana,” I scold.She frowns, shuffling in her seat. “It’s not my fault I went into heat.”“Of course not, but it was your decision to come out here knowing anyone could find you. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to walk around in full heat? Your pheromones are strong, Aeliana. You should have told me the moment you sensed it, but you chose to be petty over something stupid.”She huffs, rolling her eyes like nothing I say is of importance to her. “It won’t happen again, I often manage just fine. This time was just...different.”I watch her.She keeps touching her hair, I notice the motion is prompted by her fingers trembling on her thighs before she lets them touch her hair, and her ass keeps shifting on the leather, almost like rocking back and forth on it.Fuck. This is going to be a long ride. I don’t think she realises I can smell how needy she is right now, how intoxicating that scent is. She meant to hide from me, but her body can’t take it.
“You lied to me,” she says, her voice breaking. “Everyone saw you kiss her and you're making a fool out of me.”“I didn’t lie to you, please try to understand Ellie. I can't tell you what happened, I promised her I wouldn’t tell anyone.”“Great,” she nods. Slowly sinking into a fetal position again. “I’m done.”I kneel in front of her too, “Are you okay?” “Yeah, I just need to stay here for a while.” She whimpers. “Could you please leave? You’re making it worse, the water is getting warm.”It isn't, the water is fuckkng freezing still.I feel someone reaching me through the pack link. “Any luck?” Rowan asks,“Found her,” I say, closing all pack links, I can do without the disturbance for the next few hours. “Aeliana,” I coo, lifting her chin so she’s looking at me.She blinks, glaring at me. “I don’t want to be touched out of obligation, King.”“Okay,” I nod, lifting her from the water. I spent Aeliana’s first heat with her, she was home alone with the servants and their housekeeper
DANIELLEI’m having a late breakfast by myself when Aeliana walks into the room. “Good morning,” she greets, her voice a little hoarse but she seems more energetic today.“Good morning,” I say, watching her. Her hair is washed, styled in a messy bun above her head, and she’s wearing a new
AUDREYI know my shitty morning is about to take a turn for the better when I see Kingston walk through the door with a gift bag. He’s been gone all morning, we barely got a chance to talk, and now here he is, carrying a gift bag.“You’re back,” I squeal cheerfully. “What’s that? Is that for me?”M
The drive to Noah’s apartment is nothing short of chaotic. They turn my car into a club, singing and dancing in their seats. Aeliana gets quiet when we finally drop Noah off at her doorstep, and she doesn’t say much to me the rest of the drive.When we arrive at the packhouse, I open the door for h
“Can you stop screaming?”“I don't know!” I snap, “Can you stop interfering with my life? I married you, I ignore every wrong you do, so stop it. Why did you have to bring my Noah into this?”“Aeliana—”“No,” I choke out, my voice breaking. “Was ruining my career not enough for you? You had to stic
