SEBASTIAN SALVATORE DE LUCA“I will speak to Leila about it.” I told my parents, instead of giving thema straight answer as I did earlier. I know if I just spoke from my perspective, they would keep pushing it. However, the moment I mentioned Leila, it was a good enough reason for them to immediately zip their lips shut.At least, for a moment, until my mother huffed out a breath. “Mathew however, do not allow him on our pack lands any time soon. He needs to learn his lesson.” She hissed, before she turned to face my father, one hand on his arm. “Matter of fact, should we just go to their pack? I do not think he truly understands how badly he had messed up. I would like to set his head straight.”I nearly chuckled, but I held myself back. Jasper did it in my stead however, because he had no issue expressing his true intentions—perks of being left to be the care free one in the family.“Trust me, mom, Seb has done enough I am certain.” He chuckled, shifting his gaze from her to me, a k
SEBASTIAN SALVATORE DE LUCA.I have been the happiest that I have been in the longest time since mating with Leila.My parents had always said that having a mate was the best thing that could happen to a wolf, yet, at one point in my life I thought I did not need one. Even when I first met Leila, I was still at the phase where I was not entirely on board with the thought of a mate.It was more or less, if I was going to get a mate, it had to be someone strong and worthy in the sense that it was obvious right from one sight. Yet, I mistook her as someone weak, and even thought she only got with me because of my nephew.Just thinking back makes me feel so stupid really. I had failed to see Leila for who she was, and had missed out on so much time with her because of that stupid mistake, and the ones I kept making afterwards.Now that we have finally gotten over that though, I was not willing to let anything mess it up in the slightest. Besides, since my family knows of her now, they wou
LEILA MILLER.Sebastian and I took a bath together. He had filled up the tub with warm water and my usual scents before he came back, picked me up in his arms, which I curled into, and took us to the en suite. He placed me in the tub first, before he got in behind me, and I situated myself between his legs, allowing him to bathe me. Believe me, it took every self control in me not to lose myself once more, and managed to end the bath with a few innocent kisses here and there.By the time we stepped out, the water had turned cold, and Sebastian and I fell into our usual routine of getting ready. At this point, we basically live in the pack house, my apartment and his back at the city abandoned.I am not complaining, I love staying at the pack house, it was certainly more warm than staying alone at my place or just the two of us at his—though I admit, at certain instances, I do miss the privacy of it being just the two of us because here, that seems to be nonexistent.My thoughts were p
LEILA MILLERLEILA MILLERThe days passed by in a blur, everything tends to do when you are living a happy and carefree life. For me, it almost felt like an illusion, because I have never been as happy as I have been recently. It felt surreal, so much that I feared I would indeed wake up to all of it being a dream, and I am back to living a life where Sebastian ceased to exist, and so were the current people in my life.We have officially opened our hotel, and the reviews show it was a success, one that we treated both our teams at his company and mine because to be honest, it was the effort of us all that made it so. So, we had to treat them to something, and we did. And aside from the dinner out, we also had surprised them with an all expense filled trip so safe to say, they are some where in the coasts of Bali enjoying their holiday to the fullest.For Sebastian and I on the other hand, well, things between us have been good--perfect even if i were being honest. We have gotten to
“Dylan, what the hell—”The reminder of my words died in my throat when his lips pressed onto mine, swallowing them all. Shocked, my body froze, and slowly my mind registered the fell of his lips moving against mine. It was not our first kiss, though we had only ever kissed a few times, still, it felt so different from the usual.This kiss was urgent, fast, dominating even as if he was pouring all his emotions into it, and I was rendered motionless, unable to react. He realized that as well, making him pull away slowly, and then his dark eyes found mine, while one 0f his hands rested on the side of my face, caressing it.“I missed you.” He whispered, his voice husky and thick with emotion. The pad of his thumb rubbed the freckles on my cheeks, and my toes curled at the action, the butterflies in my tummy fluttering and betraying my resolve. But, I forced myself to maintain it.My eyes narrowed at him, my lips pressed together, not saying a thing.Dylan sighed, looking down for a momen
GRACIE.My head hurts like hell. Serves me right for getting myself wasted last night.At the time, I did not see it as a bad thing, but waking up this morning with a shitty banging headache was a reminder of my bad drinking habits, and why I should not drink as much as I did, even if I did think it was very much needed.A groan escaped my lips as I rolled over in bed, my eyes firmly pressed close. I remained still for a moment, hoping the action would be enough to lessen some of the pain, it was not. After a while of remaining in that position, I heard the door open from behind, and out of instinct, I immediately assumed it was the housekeeper.It was just she and I in the house, and we have fallen into a routine of her dropping by to check up on me every morning since her asshole of a boss decided to leave me hanging.“Sara, can you please help me get a hungover soup?” I mumbled, my face pressed into the pillow, and I could only hope she could hear me though I doubt she would—my wor
