"We shouldn't be doing this" said a broken whisper filled with desire… * Finding a way to escape her tortured family, Rayla thought that her prayers were soon answered as the moon goddess finally paired her with a mate. All seemed pleased except for her stepbrother who has made it his life mission to bully her. She is usually unbothered by him until one night when he came into her room with broken knuckles, causing her to begin to see him in a different light. Her dreamy bubble gets busted however when her mate suddenly rejects her in front of the whole school the following day, with no explanation whatsoever, …And her life takes an even bigger turn when stepbrother claims her in front of the whole school as his mate. Their relationship is forbidden and tagged as an abomination. And he knows this, but he just doesn’t care!
View MoreRAYLA The following morning, Damien didn't show up in the dining hall and when asking one of the servants about his whereabouts, she looked at me weirdly before answering that he left for school. Which made me a tad sad because I have gotten used to him waiting for me. Could he still be mad about last night? I wondered, stepping into the dining hall, I lost my appetite as I glanced at the empty space usually occupied by him. "Are you excited for the party, Rayla?" Jenna's little excited voice dragged my attention away from my sad thoughts. "Baby, it's not a party." I informed her. "It's a charity event, meaning it for a good cause, I don't think we can refer to it as a party. Where's Mom?" I inquired looking around for any sign of her. "I don't know." She shrugs, her eyes sparkling again once more. At that moment, she looked very much like my Mom. It still hurt to think that ever since we became a family with Damien and his dad, Mom hardly ever has time for me except it includes
RAYLA My heart dropped when I came down for dinner only to see it was just Mom and Damien by the dining area. I haven't fully walked in yet, but I could feel the tension in the air. I looked around for Jordan, half expecting him to walk through the door any second from now but sadly, he didn’t. I pulled out a chair, glancing in Mom's direction as I sat down. "Where's Jenna and Alpha Jordan?" I asked her. "She retired early and Jordan is occupied with Alpha duties, he won't be joining us." She answered, smiling at me. Despite how tense the situation is, I was a bit surprised to find her in a good mood. Not wanting to do anything that would ruin that, I ignored Damien as well. "While we are still on the subject, we will be joining him at Moonshadow pack tomorrow night for some charity event, please be ready." She announced, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "I'll pass." Damien responded without heat and my eyes immediately snapped to Mom's. Her face set on a grimace immediately
RAYLA I came out of my hiding spot after both Jordan and Damien had left the family room. However, Mom was still seated in the same position when I made my entrance noticeable. Pretending like I just arrived, I looked around as if searching for something. "What's that all about? Are they fighting again?" "What do you think? See? This is one of the reasons why I urged you to reject him. That boy is nothing but trouble." She responded, standing up. "He had someone beat up some poor girls." My eyes snapped up to hers in disbelief but then I had to remind myself she didn't know the full context of the situation but still, I hated the way she was quick to paint Damien the villain. I know he wasn't an easy guy but to outright just make him the villain in a story she doesn't know the full context made me a bit disappointed in her. Not wanting to say or do anything that might make the situation worse, I nodded sorrowfully before making an exit. I quickly freshened up and after making su
RAYLA "Come here..." I said after taking a deep breath, he let me lead him towards one of the desks and obediently sat down without questions, the action made me smile inwardly. I dropped my backpack beside him, fishing out for the first aid kit I always carried with me. I set everything down on a different desk and got to work, cleaning his wounds so they could heal quickly. "Don't tell me you carry that around, what are you... A nurse?" He teased breaking the heavy silence between us. I glanced at the wall clock to find out how much time I have left before the next class starts. "Not really." I muttered, not wanting to go into details about the reason.Sensing my hesitation, he lifted my face upward, forcing me to look at him. "You're hiding something and before you deny it, you should know I can feel every one of your emotions through our mate-bond so, don't lie to me." I made a frustrated sound at the back of my throat, letting go of his hand. "Please don't make me talk." Put
RAYLA My friends stood protectively by my side and I felt myself tense up, I didn't have the mental capacity to deal with Brandon on a Monday morning. I took a deep breath, glancing back and forth between my friends, I nodded for us not to give in regardless. Just as I was about to walk past Brandon, he shoved me back, causing me to stagger. Fiona immediately darted forward but I stopped her, not wanting her to engage with him, this was between Brandon and I. "Is there something I can help you with?" I asked, finally breaking the silence. "The nerve of you to show your face after the trick you pulled with your step-brother. I should have listened to everyone and shouldn't have accepted an Omega as my mate. You have truly proven to be as pathetic as your ranks are!" He snarled, his fist clenching in anger. The crowd laughed at what he said and I felt my face flushed with embarrassment. "Look Brandon, I don't want to fight with you. You rejected me in front of everyone so? What mor
RAYLA After pacing around in my room for another five minutes, deciding whether or not to join everyone for breakfast. I knew I couldn't avoid them forever but each time I saw my Mom, it felt like the greatest betrayal to look into her eyes and act like nothing happened. Avoiding her was only going to make her suspicious, so getting my shits together, I glance at the mirror one more time and hurried down to the dining hall. Deep down, facing everyone at school is where the real courage comes in. "Good morning." I acknowledged everyone, announcing my presence. At my voice, Mom and Jordan looked in my direction with a welcoming smile. "I was starting to think you wouldn't join us." She remarked, gesturing for me to sit next to her. Even without looking in Damien's direction, I could feel his eyes on me and it took every self-control I possessed at that moment not to look at him. Also, I was afraid that if I do, Jordan and Mom might see right through our bullshits. "I agree t
RAYLA His tongue swept lazily across my bottom lip, causing me to let out a breathless moan in response. He kissed me like he had all the time in the world to do so, no hint of the fierce possessiveness he had shown in front of everyoneClosing my eyes, I let myself slip into the moment. In that moment, nothing else mattered but the gentle and playful way he nibbled on my lips. The way his tongue swept across my upper lip, sending waves of pleasure down my body until he bit me! "Ouch!" I wretched my mouth from his, shoving at his chest to get him off me but he didn't budge. "That was for thinking you could run away from me. You are mine Rayla, therefore you need to understand there is no running from me." He finally pushes himself off, looking down at me with an amused expression. I shot him a glare as I got up from the ground, wondering what the hell is wrong with me! I just made out with my step-brother on a dirt filled ground, how shameless can one be? "I'm not yours." I hisse
RAYLA Something clicked in my mind and without giving it any further thought, I pushed him away. This was wrong! My mind couldn't stop screaming how wrong it was and the fact that Damien doesn't seem to care made everything so much worse. "We can't..." I blinked away the tears pooling in my eyes, while turning my back on him.The intensity of his gaze brought out something I could never be brave enough to admit to myself, talk more of anyone. The fact still remains that, no matter what this things between us was, we were wrong, we didn't make sense and we needed to put a stop to it. His hands came to rest on my shoulder, slowly turning me around to face him. "We already established that we can't but we will anyway." He pointed out, lowering his head to kiss me. I jerked away. "Damien please! Think about our parents, the pack..." I paused sensing that my words were getting through to him so, I decided to try another approach. "I know you don't care about your reputation because th
RAYLAWhat? I intended to say the word out loud but instead it just echoed in my mind. I stared at my Mom, gone were the soft composed features of her face and now replaced by worried lines, she has unshed tears in her eyes, this made her look older than her age making me feel terrible. "You heard me right? You are going to reject Damien and then we are going to put all these behind us like it never happened. I'll personally make sure that these rumours remain purely a rumour." She continued taking my silence as an agreement. "What?" I finally muttered the word out loud. "You care about me so much, you are going to let me go through two rejection in one day? Have you stopped to wonder why the moon goddess paired us together or all you and Jordan are worried about is your reputation?" I demanded. She grabs my shoulders, shaking me for a few seconds. "I don't think you understand what's at stake here. Do you have any idea how people would look at you? They will tag you two weirdos an
