LOGIN"I don’t mind," I whispered. "Let me see your werewolf side."
Astrid cursed under her breath before walking back over to me.
Instead of answering, she lay down and pulled me into her arms.
My head rested against her shoulder as I listened to her heartbeat racing beneath me. She placed a gentle kiss on my forehead and held onto me like this was the last night we would ever have together.
"We’ll see after tomorrow if you still feel the same way about me a
As I approached the old throne room, I heard voices and stopped to listen in.“Alpha, don’t let that human make you upset,” Katia said.“She is engaged, Katia,” Astrid replied.“It’s what you wanted. You weren’t ever going to accept her,” Katia reminded her.“I came back to tell her that I would give it all up to be with her… she’s my mate. I wanted to accept Maylea, but now… it’s too late,” Astrid admitted.“I’ll help you forget about her… like the good old times. Remember all the fun we had together,” Katia purred.Astrid chuckled, and I peeked through the slightly open door.“I’ll keep you happy, Alpha,” Katia whispered.Katia moaned in her ear and ran her hands across Astrid’s chest. My stomach turned as I watched my so-called friend all over the woman I had told her I loved.&l
The next couple of days felt like each second slowly ticked by. Either Jarrod or Callum was always around to keep an eye on me. I was moved back into Astrid’s room, and even though it gave me a bit of comfort, I was still afraid to close my eyes.I’m never going to be free from Astrid, am I?I barely left the room and even asked Callum to sleep next to me when he could.“Please, I don’t want to be alone.”“It’s okay, Maylea. I’m always here for you.”He sweetly smiled and cuddled closer to me. Having Callum around made me feel calm, but my heart still cried out to have Astrid near me.This isn’t fair on Callum… he should have all my love.“You deserve better.”“I have you in my arms… that can’t get any better.”“No, Callum. You are so amazing, and I just wish you could have found someone that do
“Oh, sorry!” I quickly said.I blushed and turned around.I’m such an idiot!“No, uh… it’s okay. I don’t mind… I mean… uh, I’m going to go get you that soup,” Callum stammered.He cleared his throat and walked off. I couldn’t help but smile at his cute reaction.I switched on the shower, and the water warmed me up. Callum returned shortly after I was dressed again, and the soup definitely made me feel better.Jarrod has always had that fatherly nature. He must have been a great father.“How do you feel?” Callum asked.“Much better, thank you. Now I’m just really sleepy.”“It’s okay. Get some rest. My guard shift starts soon, so I’ll let you sleep,” Callum said.“Can you cuddle me until you have to leave?”“I would love to.”He smile
“On one of the runs, the pack ran into a camp of werewolf hunters. She risked her life to save Astrid and jumped in front of a wolfsbane bullet before I could even realise what was going on. My daughter died because I wasn’t there to protect our Alpha like I should have been.”He sighed.“Jarrod… I’m so sorry.”“I see my daughter’s spirit inside of you, Maylea. That’s why I care… that’s why I just want what’s best for you.”“Thank you for looking out for me… but I don’t need someone to save me. I know what I’m doing is right.”“I’m not going to tell you that choosing Callum is wrong. I just want you to make sure it’s one hundred percent what you want.”I stubbornly raised my chin.“It is.”Jarrod nodded.“Okay. Just don’t try to force something that isn’t
The rest of the night went by in kind of a blur. Callum and I stayed up talking and kissing… there was a lot of kissing. I returned to my room as the sun started rising and passed out.The sounds of cheers from the dining room woke me up, and I stared at the ring on my finger.Callum really did propose…I climbed out of bed and quickly got dressed before walking out of my room.“Maylea!”Callum smiled and wrapped his arms around me. The werewolves erupted into cheers and raised their glasses to celebrate the new engagement.“Did you tell the pack?”“I couldn’t keep the excitement to myself.”That means Astrid will find out soon…“Are you upset that I told them?”“I… just wanted to be present when we shared the news.”“Sorry, Maylea. I know you see the pack as your own, and we should have tol
We walked into the entertainment room with Katia, and I gasped. It looked incredible and was full of younger werewolves around my age.“I can’t believe the Demon Alpha kept this room away from me.”“The Alpha isn’t so fond of having fun. I’ve seen you around with Callum… is he your boyfriend?” Katia asked.My cheeks shot red, and I smiled.“Uh, well, he hasn’t asked me out, but we are getting close to one another.”“Oh my gosh! That’s so cute. I’ve known Callum my whole life, and he’s a really good guy.”“I agree.”Katia pulled me towards a bowling alley and grabbed a ball after restarting the scoreboard.“Do you know how to bowl?”“I’ve played a few games.”I shrugged and picked up a ball.“So tell me more about you and Callum.”I laughed as I watched
I arrived at the address the professor gave me and stared at the gorgeous mansion. The sprawling estate looked like something straight out of a magazine, with towering stone walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and perfectly manicured gardens surrounding the property. Luxury and power radiated from eve
During my lunch break, I sit in my office and stare at the certificate hanging on the wall. The elegant gold-framed certificate proudly displayed my achievements, showing that I had graduated at the top of my class with a Doctor of Medicine degree and completed advanced postgraduate specializations
He stepped closer and stared into my eyes. The air between us seemed to crackle with electricity. Every nerve in my body came alive beneath his gaze, and my heart pounded so hard that I was certain he could hear it."Wait, Adam..." The words died on my lips as his scent surrounded me."Why do you k
Adam's friend stood up to shake my hand as we approached the table."Hello, ladies. I'm Roy. Nice to meet you.""I'm Nadia, and that's Abby." I smiled at him and shook his hand."Hey." Abby smiled too, her cheeks a bit more flush than usual."Now that we are all acquainted, what game would you like
