Kael

I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes I saw the runes on Arielle’s stomach. I saw the way they moved like something alive under her skin. I saw the way she screamed my name.

Them i saw the way my hands finally touched her without pain and how that tiny moment of peace felt like a dream I should not have tasted. And then the pain hit again and ripped everything apart.

I stared at my desk for a long time. Papers scattered everywhere and none of them made sense. My head felt heavy and chest felt tight. I kept rubbing the bridge of my nose like that would fix anything. It did not.

A knock came on my door and I frowned.

“Alpha the elders are calling for you. They said it is urgent.”a guard said through the wood.

“What for?” My stomach dropped a little reminding me I need to put them in their place for good

“They said it concerns last night.”

My whole body went cold as I pushed the chair back and stood slowly. The air around me felt heavier. The guard looked nervous when I st

  • Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd)   152- Delegates

    Kael. I did not sleep well at all. My head felt heavy and my chest felt tight like something was about to go wrong again. I kept pacing around the house like I was waiting for a signal I could not understand. Arielle left for school early because she said she didn’t want to be late and I didn’t force her to stay even though I wanted to. I just needed her safe and close but I didn’t want her to feel trapped.I tried distracting myself by working with some of the warriors but my mind kept drifting back to her. I kept thinking of the way she looked last night when I told her I was tired of being scared to touch her. She had looked like she wanted to cry and it killed something inside me. I kept thinking of her runes and how they smelled different now. Something that didn’t belong in this modern world at all.Then the message came.“A delegation from another pack was on their way.”I almost ignored it because I didn’t have the energy for political nonsense that morning but duty was dut

  • Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd)   151- Suspicious Diane

    ArielleI sat on the school steps waiting for Diane because she told me to follow her to class so we could sit together. The morning felt strange for some reason. My runes were calm under my skin but I kept touching my wrist like I was checking if they were still there. I kept thinking of the chamber Jax showed me and the drawings of my runes and that horrible line about the chosen vessel surviving. I kept trying to push it out of my mind but it kept crawling back like a small whisper.Diane finally came out of the building and she looked annoyed again. She always looking annoyed these days. I didn’t know if it was me or maybe she was just stressed with school work. She waved at me and I got up quickly.“Why are you sitting here alone again?” she asked.“I was waiting for you,” I said.She gave me this look like she didn’t believe me. But she still grabbed my hand gently and pulled me with her. We started walking down the hall and I noticed she kept looking over my shoulder like she

  • Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd)   150- Old book

    Arielle. I did not even know why I agreed to follow Jax because a part of me still felt nervous whenever he was too close. But something in his voice today made me stop thinking and just walk with him. His eyes had been soft the whole afternoon and when he said he wanted to show me something important I just said alright. Maybe I was foolish but he had been kind to me for days now. He always brought food or sat beside me when I read at the library. He made jokes sometimes and when he smiled it made his face look less sharp. So now I was following him through the quiet hallway behind the training wing. The palace felt too big at night. The lanterns were dim and the shadows looked long.“Where are we going?” I asked because he did not even explain.“Just trust me. I am not taking you anywhere dangerous.” He looked back at me but kept walking. “You always say trust me. One day you will lead me into a trap.” I laughed a little because he always said that.He smiled at that. “If I want

  • Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd)   149- Another warning

    KaelI slept badly that night. I kept turning on the bed because my head felt heavy and my chest felt tight for no reason. Arielle was already asleep beside me breathing soft and slow and I kept staring at her back like I was trying to make sure she was really there. I did not even remember when I finally closed my eyes but the moment I slept I felt myself fall into that same dark place again.The air was cold almost too cold. I knew it was a dream but it felt too real. The ground under me felt like stone and everything was dark except this strange white fog. Then I heard footsteps behind me and my whole body went stiff because I already knew who it was.My father.He always came the same way like he was not sure if he should be talking to me or haunting me. He looked the same way he did before he died. Same tired eyes and sad expression.“Kael” he said amd his voice echoed weirdly like it was coming from far away.I turned around. “What do you want now?”“I came to warn you.” He w

  • Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd)   148- A helper

    Arielle. I found myself going to the library again the next day and the day after that. It was strange because I never used to stay anywhere for long but now I always ended up sitting at the same table by the window. And somehow Jax always found me. Sometimes he came with snacks or he came with a drink. One time he even brought me a pack of grapes and said he saw them on the way and thought of me.After a few days it became normal amd I would be reading and he would sit down quietly like he belonged there. Sometimes we talked. Sometimes we just sat. It was weird how peaceful it felt even when I was nervous around him it still felt peaceful.That afternoon the sun was warm on the floor and I had my hand on the table. My runes were quiet at first but then they fluttered softly under my skin like they were waking up. I pulled my hand back fast but he already saw it.“What was that?” he asked quietly with his eyes narrowing a little but not in a scared way. More like he was curious.I l

  • Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd)   147- Olive branch?

    ArielleI had been sitting on the stone bench in the garden for a while staring at the fountain water lazily trickling down. My stomach had this nervous flutter that would not go away and even though I told myself I was fine my hands were fidgeting with the hem of my sleeve like I always did when I did not know what to do with my thoughts.That’s when I saw Jax across the lawn, near the lilac bushes amd he was watching me. Not in that usual dark way where it felt like he was judging me or thinking something dangerous but… softer. His shoulders were slouched a little, his hands in his pockets and the sharp edges of his gaze had softened. My stomach twisted because I did not know what to feel. Should I run? Should I stay? Part of me screamed that I should be careful. I had no reason to trust him. But another part of me, the part that had been starved for something resembling normal conversation wanted to see what he was going to do.He walked closer slowly like he did not want to st
