LOGINKAO.“Who sent you?” I growled, shaking the bastard in my arms.His mask had slipped, and he was glaring at me with boring brown eyes. His face was average, unfamiliar. And he remained stubbornly silent.From across the lot, I heard Asai cry out, I turned my attention to him, and that one moment of distraction was enough for the attacker.He kneed me in the stomach, sending me forward, my grip slipped and he ran in the opposite direction, his shoes squeaking on the tiled floor.“Fuck.” I pushed to my feet, ready to give chase, but something about the way Asai was curled into a ball had me pausing.“Wrynn.” I called to him, crossing the lot. “What's wrong with you?”I was a couple feet away from him when I was nearly physically assaulted by the smell of his pheromones. The force of it was staggering, nearly sending me to the ground.I forced my fangs back and pushed forward, placing my forearm over my nose. It didn't do much, the entire parking lot practically melted with the stink.“F
ASAI.By the time I slunk out of her room, Saki was asleep, and I reeked of her pheromones. Which was exactly what I set out to achieve. I drove home in silence, and was shocked to find a familiar black car parked in the driveway when I arrived. The front door opened just as I was killing the engine, and Marcus stepped out, followed by my Mother, and a man I hadn’t seen in years.Nicholas Wrynn.Marcus’s father, and the man after my inheritance. I kept my shoulders straight and my chin raised as I crossed the lawn to approach them. “Uncle.” I nodded once. “What a surprise to see you here, Mother never told me you’d be dropping by.”“It was a surprise.” The large man grinned, stepping forward to clap me on the shoulder. “Look how much you’ve grown, little bird. Still a little scrawny for an alpha, but I heard you’ve gone ahead and gotten yourself engaged to a Mori.”He shook my shoulder hard, and I clenched my teeth. “The entire extended family had to find out from Marcus over he
ASAI.“I'd like you to explain, in your own words, how a dinner meeting that was meant to be a public apology turned into another scandal?”Elder Mori's gaze was harsh and unforgiving, it wasn't directed at me, but I squirmed in discomfort nonetheless.Somewhere in between, Kao and Eden had joined us, arriving together in Eden’s car, now they sat side by side. Kao had his arms folded and was holding his father's gaze effortlessly.“I don't see how this is a scandal.”“Oh really?” His father said, incredulous. “So the insinuation that you're having an illicit affair with your younger sister's fiancé is what exactly?”“There's nothing being insinuated.” He insisted, leaning forward. Next to him, Eden shut his eyes and rubbed at his temples.“I don't understand.” Saki's voice came from my side, speaking up for the first time. “What even is the context of this picture? Why're you getting into a car with Kao? Why's Eden not with you?”I froze momentarily, rolling the ring on my finger abse
ASAI.Eden’s smile was calculatedly shrewd, his gaze knowing as he glanced between us.“Oh dear, am I interrupting something?”“What are you doing here?” the words were out of my mouth before I realized I said them.Eden shrugged, pouting slightly. “I haven't seen my dear brother in law in days, my fiancé also happened to have conveniently disappeared as well, I was worried.”Behind me, Kao snorted, but I ignored him as I stepped out. “I appreciate the concern, but I'm fine. We were just heading over to the estate now.”“Is that so?” He cocked a brow. “Your romantic getaway is over? So soon?”I stiffened. “I don't know what you're talking about.”Eden rolled his eyes. “Oh please, I'm not an idiot, and I'd like to believe you aren't either. How else do you plan on explaining why my fiancé is at your home, dressed in the same clothes he wore to dinner two days ago?”I whipped my head around. In the midst of everything, I hadn't even realised I never got a change of clothes for Kao. He
ASAI.I didn't want to return to my room, because I knew Kao would be waiting, so I detoured down to the kitchen to get myself a protein bar.Some of the staff milling about stared as I walked past, and I tried not to think about the fact that all of them knew what I'd been doing the last two days.I was pouring myself a glass of water when I heard the familiar click of heels on tiles. Charlotte stepped in, her face pinched.There was a newspaper clutched tightly in her hands.“Young Master Wrynn,” she said on a bow. “I had hoped you'd be available. I didn't want the Matraich seeing this before you did.”I frowned as she stepped closer. “Is something the matter?”“Well yes, I suppose you can say that.” Carefully, she placed the paper on the marble countertop, and at the very front page was a picture of Kao, herding me into the back of his car.I was visibly flushed, pink with the first stirrings of my heat, and Kao's hand on my back was possessive.The Headline above screamed in bold;
ASAIEverything was so hot, and I was so sticky.My eyelids were crusted with dried tears when I peeled them open, disoriented and slightly confused. The entire room reeked of pheromones, both mine and Kao’s…Kao?I jerked awake and immediately groaned. My thighs were sticky and messy, squelching slightly as I shifted. For some reason I felt unreasonably full, so I shifted a bit and froze. Kao was still inside me. He groaned from where he was sprawled behind me. “Would you stay put?” he grumbled against the skin of my back, and I shivered involuntarily.“How long has it been?” I hissed.“I don’t know.” He grumbled again in reply. He shifted to turn and his cock slipped out of me, making me shiver again as cum and slick spilled out to my thighs. I bit down on my lip in shame and arousal, which in turn made me feel even more ashamed. But, I wasn’t about to linger on all the atrocities I’d without a doubt let Kao do to me for heaven knew how long. I needed to take my suppressants be
