تسجيل الدخولI dug my heels into Malcolm’s wounded side, moving it around, my smile getting bigger as his groans increased. “Listen well and help me deliver this to your father. I have a mate that I love so much, and I am never going to leave him. If your father is not ready to accept me, then he can kiss the alliance goodbye. I will be coming in some week to review this alliance and make sure to tell him to receive us well.”And just for effect, I raised my heels and brought it down sharply, his sounds of agony, a pleasant music to my ears. “Cash, Theo,” I called out to the warriors closest to me. “Take him to the infirmary and get his wounds treated, and when he is through, make sure to dispose of him outside the gates!”“Yes, alpha!” The men replied, a little too eager to do the bidding of their alpha. I watched as they carried him rather roughly, not caring about the injuries he had sustained, and I watched until they were out of sight before I went to meet Toby.He had helped himself up, and
It was D-day, and nerves ate at me like termites would to wood. My stomach twisted in knots, a sharp contrast to the throbbing crowd whose faces were lit up in smiles. After all, everyone had gathered to see the fight for the alpha male.I stood with my mate, preparing him for the fight ahead. He had decided to wear only a singlet and a short, and I was trying my best not to claw out the eyes of the females that were ogling him. Instead, I decided to focus on him.“You know what to do, right?” I asked him as I smoothed the wrinkles from his shirt, even though there was nothing to do. I just needed the excuse to touch him. “If you are caught in a bind, aim for his crotch, and he won't be able to escape it.”“Remember Toby. Head warrior of the rogue pack? Does that ring a bell?” He said in a dry tone and raised my left brow as I looked at him until he managed a smile. “I know what to do. I have been doing this all my life, and this is not going to be a big deal. I am also fighting for y
I had thought having Toby here with me would make the work easier. I mean, it was easier since I got to come home to the open arms of my mate and, of course, the sex. But I wish it were easier.Work has gotten so demanding that we barely see each other except at night. By then Toby had already retired for bed, and most times I am too exhausted to do anything but kiss him goodnight before falling asleep, and in the morning, I am already up and gone.Although I have gotten reports that Toby has been going around the pack, probably trying to familiarize himself with his new pack, I wish I could do better. I still have no idea in what way I could get him to work with me, but I didn’t want to be choosy or impose.And since he was still discovering the pack for himself, it was better to let him be. However, it didn’t help that I had been hearing some rumors flying around that I couldn’t even wrap my head around, and his mood seemed to just plummet by the time I was back.“Are you sure noth
Waking up for the past weeks had always been a chore because I would always feel the bond tugging on us, and Lia, as usual, was threatening to make sure of her words and flee. Today was no different, except for once, the tug was in the right direction, literally.I turned to my right, and there lay the most beautiful man I had ever seen, his eyes still shut tight with sleep, and the smile came so easy.We had spent most of the night and early hours of the morning in activities that were both backbreaking and sweat-inducing, and it was safe to say that we were both tired, so I allowed him to sleep.Seeing him in such a state gave me time to study him and just focus on those things that made him unique. I don’t know if it was just me, but Toby had grown even bigger than when I last saw him, and it wasn’t just his size. The new air around him was so soothing and relaxing that I wanted to drown in it.‘He has finally decided to stop running from love and embrace it.’ Lia chipped in, a lit
I scoffed, shaking my head at the sheer audacity. I know I have heard him bare out his heart to my parents, but when it comes to Toby, I will never assume.I need to hear it from his mouth.“Why are you here?” I demanded, my voice trembling with so much contained fury. “Have you finally come to reject me? If so, you can just do that quickly and get the hell out of my life!” I snapped. It was better like this; the anger would mask whatever emotion that was still brewing inside me.I took a deep breath, blinking back the tears that were threatening to come down because I refuse to be a crybaby in front of him, and honestly, I blame the hormones.Toby wasn’t just stubborn; he was also cruel. Leaving me wasn’t enough for him, but he had to come and say the forbidden words in my presence.“I am here, love, finally.” He was too calm, his voice steady like I had not just yelled at him. “I know I am late—maybe too late—but I am here now, and I have no plans of going anywhere.”I eyed him from
“Young man, what are you doing here?” My father demanded, his voice cutting through the tension like a sharp blade. I tried not to let the smile slip, especially seeing how he was standing up for me, but he wasn’t even through. “How dare you show up in this pack after all you have done?”“I know.” Toby murmured, bowing his head, and my heart lurched as I heard his voice. I know I shouldn’t be having such a reaction to someone who had broken me, but I couldn’t help it. “I know I have not been the best thing for your daughter, and I acknowledge my fault in that, but I want to make it right.”“Toby!” I snapped, annoyed that he was treating me like I wasn’t in the room with him. How could he just waltz back in here, acting like he could fix everything? Did he really think an apology was enough? “Why the hell are you even here?” He gave me a look that I couldn’t decipher, his eyes raking over me in a gaze that was stripping, and I crossed my arms, as if trying to shield me. But the moment
I thought I would have gotten used to it now. I meant I have spent weeks without him being here, and I have loved all my life without knowing of his presence, but I have gotten a test of what it meant to be around him.I have finally understood what it meant to be loved; even if he hadn’t said the
I have always lived my life with the belief that no one could get to me, that nothing could make me tick and lose it, and for 23 years of my life, that plan has been working.I have never let anyone inside, never crushed on any male, and I was content until Toby came. He had barged into my life, li
Silence.It reigned between us thick and heavy in the atmosphere, the stillness wrapping around us as we both tried to come to terms with what had just been said.I stared at him, looking at him from an obscure window in my mind, yet I could feel the distance widening between us, the gap suddenly s
I froze in his arms, my body shutting down against him and unable to return his gesture no matter how good his intentions were, not when I could feel burning stares at my back, threatening to burn a hole through. In hopes that it would penetrate the man that dared to hold meAnd Charlie, bless his
