TOMAS’S POV“Are you listening to yourself Cindy, you want me to kill my own mate. Do you know what that will do to me? Or do you not care of the danger I would be putting myself in? I could die with her" I said as I stood up and walked away from her and stood by my window, I couldn’t believe that Cindy even had the guts to suggest I do something that could get me killed.Killing Miranda would be like shooting myself right on my foot especially after I had, mated with her and helped her get through heat. The mate bond was too strong and I was finding it harder and harder to resist being with her. And now was Cindy asking me to kill her and risk my own life not to mention that my father would finally know what I had been up to for the past few months.“Come on Tommy” she said as she came and stood next to me“You know I hate it when you call me that” I said getting even more annoyed“I am not saying that you should kill her yourself, I mean you can start the job and then get someone to
MIRANDA’S POVI woke up at dawn and I was cold even though I had a jacket on, I couldn’t tell where I was because it was all dark and the trees that surrounded me were thick. The last thing I remembered was Tomas kicking me on the stomach. I was still weak and in pain from the attack but I knew if I had any hope of surviving I had to get out of there. I tried standing up but my feet were too weak to carry me.I had to be strong, I had wanted to get out and be free from Tomas for so long so I had to appreciate that I was finally free. Even though that freedom had come at the price of me losing my pup. I hated Tomas for that not only did he fail to protect me but he also failed to protect his own pup. I was never going to go back to that town again and if I ever went back it was going to be for revenge against Tomas and his witch.I balanced myself with a tree when I could no longer walk and took deep breaths in an attempt to ease the pains I was in, every part of my body hurt and it wa
Miranda’s POV“Oh it’s nothing,” I said and my tears immediately sold me out as they started welling up in my eyes.“That can’t be nothing honey, and the way I found you it was like you had just escaped a horrible encounter,” she said brushing the bruises on my face and wiping the tears that had escaped my eyes and forming a waterfall on my face.Whatever my response to her probing questions was going to be I had to keep in mind that she was human and she wouldn’t understand anything about wolves and mates. If she did know anything about my world it would only be an unconfirmed and a myth.“It was my fiancé,” I said, this was the only lie that was close to the truth that I could think of“He was very abusive and he used to beat me, he didn’t really want me, and he cheated on me and abused me in front of her and he probably thinks I am dead because after he attacked me with his girlfriend they dumped me in the forest and that is the reason I didn't want you to call the cops,” I said so
TOMAS’S POV Ever since I got rid of Miranda a few days ago, my life had been feeling a little empty and even though she was my mate I still hated feeling this way. It was not like I loved her; we had a romantic relationship. Cindy had been coming less and less to my house and that made me feel worse about the whole thing. For some reason, after I did what she asked me to do and got rid of Miranda, Cindy had been acting very distant and it was like she didn’t appreciate or acknowledge that I had done what I did for her. My father was still on my back about finding a mate and his ultimatum for me to take over as Alpha was that I find a mate. That would have been easier to deal with if Miranda was actually dead because then my father would never find out I had a mate and rejected him without knowing. But Miranda was alive and it was like I could feel every breath she took and the fight she had put up for survival. “Tomas” my father called out as he stood outside my door, I had been a
MIRANDA’S POVLife in this small town was pretty simple Ms. Caroline had a bakery and I had started working there with two other girls, she had employed me as the cashier and she was teaching me how to bake while the other girls were waitresses, she also mentioned that I would occasionally be required to help the waitresses. When she offered me a salary I declined because I felt like she had already gone out of her way to make me feel at home but she told me she didn't feel want to feel like she was taking advantage of me. I hadn’t made any friends yet but I was content with the quality of life that I was living. Tomas and Cindy seemed to be a distant memory and the nightmares I used to have when I first got here had been visiting me only once in a while I could dream of a better future here where I was sure no one could find me.The scars that I bore from my time locked away by Thomas had started healing and disappearing and that was something that I never thought would happen. The
TOMAS’S POV “Tomas gets in here” I heard my father shout my name as I was walking past his office the following day. I had been avoiding him again after I kept him waiting for me and Cindy the whole day. “Yes dad,” I said as I walked into his office, he had a frown on his face but as soon as he looked up at me it disappeared “What is going on with you?” he asked “Dad if you called me here just to tell me how you told me so I am not in the mood,” I said as I sunk into the chair lazily “Sit up straight. I see you finally saw Cindy for who she is but that is not the reason why I called you here. Your brother has returned from his business trip but I asked him not to come here, I want him to help you search for your mate” he said and I sunk into the chair even deeper if that was even possible “Dad wh
MIRANDA’S POV “Dear I will need you to go to the bakery earlier than usual tomorrow,” Ms. Caroline said after we had dinner and as I was washing the dishes. “No problem,” I said, I enjoyed working at the bakery because it was a way for me to keep busy and not think about anything else. The job was more of a hobby than a job for me because I enjoyed it too much. Working for humans was better than working for wolves, they treated me better than my own kind ever did and made me feel like my efforts were being recognized and appreciated. I had asked Ms. Caroline not to pay me for the work I did at her bakery, but she insisted on paying me because she said that if she didn’t pay me she would feel like she was taking advantage of me and using me and that wasn’t the way she was brought up and taught. “It will be Rebecca’s birthday tomorrow an
MIRANDA’S POV“Good morning, can I take your order?” I asked the very handsome man that I was seeing for the first time in the bakery. We didn’t get new people very often so it was very interesting to see a new face and I enjoyed the fact that the face was not only friendly but also very handsome.He looked so handsome, he had blue-green eyes and a sharp check bone, his blonde hair was cut short and neat and he was all muscled up and even though he was sitting down I could see he was a little taller than me, and a total hunk. After what I had been through with a man I couldn’t believe that I was allowing myself to even lust after one.“I am new here, please suggest something for me, maybe something that you like,” he said with the brightest smile revealing his sharp white canines and making me un
