Josh's POV

Fuck it, I had chickened out.

I knew I was here to see her, but I didn't expect that she would see me. I had believed Emma when she told me she was sparring already and all I wanted to do was watch her, that would be enough for me so when I heard her footsteps racing in, I knew before she could show up, that she was the one.

Her scent had wafted into my nostrils before her presence and I had my fist clenched as I battled within myself not to gaze at her, not to take a look at her because it would break me even further.

I wanted her, I wanted to touch her, feel her, run my thumb on her lips, let her know she was the best thing that happened to me but I held myself back because we didn't have that leisure, I didn't have that leisure.

When my name had danced out of her lips, I stood transfixed to the spot, rooted as I tried not to show how much effect she had on me, before walking away.

I could see her, tell she was glancing at me, her heart shredding into tiny bits as s

  • Forbidden desires: In love with my brother's best friend    Inches away from death

    Samantha was pissed and she knew her plans had been thwarted. “ I guess that is my cue to leave then.” Emma pointed at the door before leaving. The sudden thud of the door behind her had her jittering a bit before she pondered what had just happened. She was still, deep in thought for a second before she slid into her car, which had brought them here. She had a lot on her plate to cater to, and it was going to be best if she didn't add whatever had just happened here to it, and that was what she did as she stepped on the pedal, driving down the road before coming to a stop. “Fuck that, maybe knowing a tad bit won't hurt after all.” She whispered to herself before getting down from the car. “ What exactly was that? How did he get to know about their plan?” Samantha demanded. She was ready to grill it out of Darren because that would mean there was someone else who he had told and he had made this happen to them. “Mum. I don't know.” That was all Darren could say. He was still t

  • Forbidden desires: In love with my brother's best friend    Slumber

    Josh's POV I knew I shouldn't underestimate Darren and Samantha because there was no limit to the evils they could do, but nothing prepared me for the fact that they could extend that to Lina. I should have known that he would want to get her, seeing how she was the most important to me and she was my weakness, but I could have only believed that in my wildest dream, and that was why when I had somehow gotten to know Lina was there and the purpose why she was there, I had to race down. I had stopped myself at first, citing how she didn't want me close to her and Max would be a better option, but when seconds stretched into minutes and minutes stretched into an hour, I knew I had to go there myself. I couldn't let them go through with the plans they had for her, which were only going to end up in her getting hurt. Samantha could play at any game, but the only one I was never going to let her win was whenever it came to do with Lina. The silence which hung over us as I stepped on

    Lina's POVA dinner couldn't cause any harm, and that was what I was standing on when I arrived with Emma, whose face had twisted so much that it wasn't difficult to tell that she was against the idea but had no choice than to come with me. The house seemed homely, with a little porch at its front, assortment of flowers, of which hydrangeas seemed to be the most . I dragged in a deep breath before I raised my hands to rap my knuckles at the door when Emma did it before I could. “ Well, this goes for nothing.” She let out a puff of breath before turning to me, a smug look on her face. We both had a coat on as the cold winter seemed to be coming. The door opened up with a creak, revealing who I believed was Darren's mother, but she was young. So young, and didn't look an inch like him. Darren must look like his father, which yet again left a spot in me that didn't bound well. “ You must be Lina and Emma.” She flushed, a hand on her chest before she pulled me in for a hug. “Oh my.

  • Forbidden desires: In love with my brother's best friend    Harm would it cost

    Lina’s POV Emma stood, hands folded underneath her chest as she stood against her car, her finger clicking on her phone while a stick of cigarettes lay in-between her fingers. I swallowed, wondering when she started smoking because it was new to me. A closer glance had me peeking around until I saw Darren, who waved back with a smile lacing his face before he broke into a race toward me. I mustered up one as well before closing the gap between us, watching closely as Emma stomped on the cigarette when she noticed I was a step away from her. “What's wrong?” I questioned, peering into her eyes, which were reddened. She gulped in, the spittle working down with a swallow before she turned to the side, blinking consciously. Not saying one more word, I pushed her into my arms, offering that hug she needed, but she wasn't saying a word. “You're here. I have been trying to get her to say a word, but it seems all of my efforts were futile.” I pushed away, just enough to give him a smile b

    The door rattled as it was slammed hard before Lina stomped off in rage. “That was uncalled for.” His mother pointed out when she was sure Lina was out and wouldn't be able to hear them. “ Mother, you have to stop babysitting her. There are times we have to tell her the truth. You can't continue keeping her in that cocoon you always think she will be fine in. This is Lina, and she is a grownup; she can't keep claiming that she is eighteen when she is still acting like a child.”Alpha Gregory would have agreed with him on this, but he would rather not take sides. “ She is going to have it even tougher than you will ever have in your life. This is your sister, and you know how fragile she is. Fine, she acts like a child, but have you thought about how her life will be when she is tossed in on all that?” He shook his head just at the thought of it all. “The truth we have hidden from her all this time, like we said, just to protect her, even when it isn't for that? She will have her

    “ We are running out of time.” Alpha Gregory let out, running a hand through his hair as he uttered. There were different times that things could be different, where he wished that it would be different, and this was one of them. The bonfire night had been a failure of its own, and all they could see was Lina being taken away from them into a world where they wouldn't see her. Was she so much of a threat that she had to be pulled over to the other side of the world? Why couldn't they let him nurture her? Why couldn't they get their poking nose out of his family? Luna Gregory had a hand on her head, deep in thought with Max, who was quiet. They could all feel it, they could tell what was going to happen, and none of them liked it. It was basically a life where they had to let her go, with no one being there to give an update on her life, no single person. She could be maltreated for all they cared, and they wouldn't have an idea about it. “ This was all your fault, Mum.” Max let out
