It's still morning and the sun is still partially out, I shouldn't feel afraid to walk around in the woods, but it feels really weird around here. The energy is horrible and the vibe feels heavy with something murky and twisted. I don't want to sound ridiculous, but I feel like this place is full of ghosts who are out for revenge. Fortunately, only a couple of minutes later I can see Liam in the distance. Or, well, Liam's wolf."Stay here for a second, I'm going to make sure he's... you know, okay with having visitors," Fidel says to me. I think Liam's wolf hears his voice because he stands up to look at us. I immediately avert my eyes so I don't look at him much. I don’t want to have his image fresh and clear in my head.It's not time yet. "Please, just tell him to keep his wolf away from me," I beg, squeezing my hands together to keep them from shaking but also to try to stop my wolf from running to his mate like a crazy bitch because that's exactly what she wants to do. And to be
I nod, grab her hand and I pull her back to the cabin, my heart racing with excitement because, for the first time, I'm on the same page as her. Life finally has meaning.I've been staying here for a few days, but I couldn't say exactly how many because I've let my wolf have full control most of the time. He is frustrated with the Isabella situation and misses her terribly too, but he is not depressed like me. He doesn't crave hard drugs like I do, he doesn't think about suicide like I do. In fact, he's actually very good at taking care of himself, so I gladly let him take the lead in situations like these. He's been eating well... I don't know what he eats exactly, but I won't ask because it's none of my business and I'm afraid it's something I totally don't want to know. But, apparently, he's surviving much better than I would. And now that I have my mate in front of me, a new surge of life has grown inside me... or rather, a giant desire to keep living in this life. I'll do what
I’ve waited so long for this moment, but it has finally arrived. Finally, It's just us. My mate and me, without any of the humans ruining everything for us with their bullshit and keeping us apart, interrupting the path that Fate wants for us. Isabella jumps on top of me all of a sudden, fully naked and confident in my ability to catch her. Of course I do that and then I hold her against me for the first time. It feels so good. "I love you," I say, falling back on the bed and I giggle with glee when she starts kissing all over my face like a happy pup, "I love you so fucking much, I was dying without you.""I love you too," she says, stopping her kisses and looking straight into my eyes, "Please, do something about us already. I don't want to keep waiting, I want to be with you NOW, not three years from now. I don't want to be with another man, even if I'm not awake when it happens, I don't like the idea. I don't like how everyone knows me as his girlfriend. I want them to know I'm
Liam sighs heavily and sits up to just stare down at me while I sob naked on a hotel bed defeated and pissed off. Everything is absolute shit, everything is wrong. Extremely wrong. Right now I don't even want to look at my phone and deal with reality. I already know my parents are going to go crazy on me, especially my dad. And I can't even lie to him when I get home because he knows exactly who I'm with and he's seen me holding his hand, there's no way I can tell him Liam is a stranger or someone unimportant. God, he must be so angry with me, I don't know how I'm going to deal with that. He's never been mad at me before.And what about my real boyfriend? He must be really angry too. What if I messed everything up? "Marna... can you stop crying?" Liam asks, but I can't, so I ignore him, "Please. I'd rather you just keep hitting me. Trust me, I can take a lot more than that. And I expected a lot more than that from you, actually.""Just leave me alone," I cry out and roll onto my b
I take a deep breath hoping this doesn't end up being the worst idea ever before I answer Theo's call. Liam is still on top of me, by the way, and he spreads my legs wide enough to get in between them and nestle his growing dick right in my warmest spot as his eyes try to melt my face with their intensity. "Hey, babe," I greet, trying to sound cheerful and soft as usual while ignoring Liam's eyes and the way his scent fills with jealousy at just those two words. This man still doesn't quite understand that I don't want and will never want Theo."Isa... what's wrong?" Theo asks, sounding confused but not angry, thankfully, "I feel like I haven't talked to you in a while."Six fucking days, not that it's a big deal to him, apparently. I reach up to grab Liam's hair and tug on it as punishment when he lets out a mocking little laugh. As if he's not stinking up the whole room with his jealousy. "Yeah, sorry I haven’t reached out this week, but guess what? Remember my friend Lily?" I as
"I'll send Kit over to Layla's with some money," Liam says easily, picking up his own phone to set that in motion, "Is fifty thousand enough or too little?""For two weeks in Cancun? That's too much," I frown and cross my arms, "I don't like you coddling other girls, don't give them that much. It's not necessary.""Are you kidding? That's pocket change. And I should give them more considering I'm buying their silence and their ability to keep their mouths shut about your affair now that you've so stupidly told them," he mutters, shaking his head like I'm so stupid, "I'll send them seventy thousand just in case. And don't be jealous, you’ll own everything I have one day."I don't think anyone has ever said something so hot to me before. I have to clench my legs and bite my lower lip to control how those words made me feel. "Girls are just as good as men at hiding affairs, if not better. They definitely won't tell," I assure him, looking at him from afar and thinking how crazy I must b
"The omega thing is not a surprise, but it is fucking gross to think about. From you and him both," I complain, Liam just shrugs, "I don't like the drug thing. My mom sure as hell doesn't know that.”"I told you. Now you can grab him by the balls," he says with a wicked grin. I grimace, "Metaphorically, of course."I nod, but I'm still a little shocked by all the information I've just received, so I remain silent while Liam eats and does his best to pretend nothing is wrong. As if he didn't just tell me he had the most traumatic childhood ever. "Mmm, man. I love these," he exclaims and bites into a blueberry muffin. Then he holds a piece to my lips, "Come on, open up. You're not eating.""I've lost my appetite," I mutter, but he takes advantage of me opening my mouth a little to shove the bread in until I have no choice but to eat it."I told you it was ugly," he reminds me with raised eyebrows. I just nod, "That's why I wanted to wait a little longer before blurting out the details
Being in this vacation with Liam is much better than I expected. He's not being as obnoxious as usual, so that's allowing me to enjoy every minute of his company. In fact, he's showing me a whole new side of him that I'm starting to really like and that I wasn't expecting one bit. He's being calm, funny and romantic, he hasn't felt the need to offend me even once and we've both been open with our wolves and their feelings because, why not? At this point I'm already like 80% in love with him anyway and it doesn't look like my crush is going to stop anytime soon no matter how hard I try, so fuck it. I’ll just keep enjoying this for as long as I possibly can. Theo is always busy anyway and he will be even busier once he's the Alpha. If he doesn't pay attention to me now he totally won't be pay attention to me later, which is perfect because it means I'll be able to continue this affair throughout our marriage.Liam and I are haven’t talked about nothing serious again because he gets te
