Victoria's POVI pushed him away and got off the bed. My heart was clenching with pain, and tears threatened to spill from my eyes, but I refused to let him see me cry. I walked over to where my clothes were scattered and picked them up, ignoring his gaze fixed on me.After dressing up, I grabbed my bag and made my way towards the door, but he stepped down from the bed, blocking my path, still naked. Anger surged within me, and my rage started to boil over. “And what is the meaning of this?” I asked angrily.“You're not leaving,” he stated firmly, causing my brow to furrow. “Are you serious?” I retorted with frustration, and he nodded.“You're not a whore that I would let leave after making love. I want you in my arms tonight,” he said, and I scoffed in disbelief. How dare he? How dare he think I would spend the night with him? Having sex with him was already torturous enough, and now this?Taking a deep breath, I composed myself and locked eyes with him. “I'm not spending the night h
Bernard's POVI opened my eyes with a smile on my face. I sat on the bed and checked the clock, realizing it was already 8 in the morning, and I haven't slept this long in a while.Memories of last night flooded my head, causing a big smile to appear on my face. I could still perceive her scent lingering around, and I couldn't help but take a deep sniff. A smile of satisfaction appeared on my face, and I couldn't wait to have her in my arms again.“What you are doing is wrong,” my wolf grunted. I sighed and got off the bed. “You have a mate…"“She doesn't bear my mark,” I responded. “Cora is my mate, but she doesn't bear my mark, and I believe you know why.” I snapped at him and left the bed.“Just because she doesn't have a good personality doesn't mean she won't change, Bernard,” my wolf argued, and I groaned. “You are just so obsessed with Victoria that every woman seems imperfect to you.” My wolf spat and shut himself away from me before I could even respond.With a grunt, I took
Victoria's POVI held his gaze, waiting for him to joke and say it was a joke, but he didn't. Instead, he began unbuttoning his shirt while I just stood and stared.I watched him unbutton all the buttons on his shirt, take it off, and reveal his well-muscled chest and abs. Despite how much I hated this, I couldn't deny the fact that he had a hot, sexy body that would make anybody drool, regardless of gender.His body was impressive, with well-defined muscles on his chest and abs. His chest showed strength and athleticism. His stomach had a tight and toned six-pack, and a bit of hair trailed down. Veins could be seen on his arms and chest, showing that he had been doing lots of workouts.He had broad shoulders that showed his strength. His arms were muscular, and for ridiculous reasons, I wished to hold them.“Stop it, you are drooling over him,” Beatrice growled, and I frowned and composed myself.I watched him go for the zipper of his pants, zip it down, and pull the pants to his kne
Bernard's POV “Hell no! I'm leaving this very minute,” she spat at my face, but I didn't respond. Instead, I walked to my closet, grabbed a sweatpants, and put them on. I turned to face her and could see that she was fuming with anger. It wouldn't take long before she’ll explode.“Listen, this was not the deal. The deal was to be your fuck buddy and nothing else,” she yelled, but I shook my head and stood before her. “You are wrong, Victoria. The deal is to be my lover, and I spend the nights with my lovers,” I explained firmly, seeing her groan with anger, revealing her fangs, which would have scared anyone else, but not me.“I'm leaving this minute. It's either you let me go or I'll burn down the door,” she threatened, but her threats didn't frighten me. Instead, I sat and watched her boil with anger as she turned red.“You…" she paused, took a deep breath to control her emotions, and closed her eyes momentarily. After a while, she opened them and shot me a death glare before lookin
Victoria’s POVI blinked my eyes repeatedly as the sunlight from the window flashed in my eyes. With a frown, I slowly opened my eyes and squinted against the bright light. Groaning annoying, I closed my eyes and rubbed them with my hands before sitting up in bed.I opened my eyes again and glanced around the room, realizing that this was not the room I shared with Derick. It was Bernard's room. All that had happened the night before played back in my head, causing a frown to appear on my face. I hated how vulnerable I had made myself look before him, but I couldn't deny the fact that it was relieving to pour out all my sorrow and pain.Just as I was about to leave the bed, the door opened and Bernard walked in with a tray of breakfast in his hands. He smiled and placed the tray of food on the bed in front of me before sitting down. “Good morning. How was your night?” He asked, but I just rolled my eyes and reached for my phone. I picked it up and realized it was already 10 am, and I
Victoria's POVWhen I walked into the sitting room, I met Jane waiting for me. She held my gaze and shot me a suspicious glance. Without saying a word, I knew she knew where I was coming from.“Jane, you're here,” I greeted while taking a seat. Just then, Aidan’s nanny walked up to me. “Where is he?” I asked, worriedly.“He is in school, and I did as you instructed. Four-armed security guards are with him,” she said. I nodded and flashed her a grateful smile as she bowed and left.Jane and I remained silent. Jane didn't want to say a word, but I knew she had a lot of things to say. “Just spill it out,” I murmured and saw her shrug her shoulders. “What do you want me to say?” she asked. I rolled my eyes and got up on my feet.I took the stairs to my room, and when I arrived, I saw Jane already seated on one of the couches.“Damn your abilities!” I grumbled and sat on the bed. As I took off my shoes, I could feel Jane's suspicious glance on me, but I ignored it and began taking off my c
Victoria's POVWhile I was trying to sort out some documents, there was a knock on the door, and I gestured for the person to come in. The door opened, revealing Clinton. “Alpha Linus is here to see you. Do you want to see him? I can tell him you don't want to see anyone,” he suggested. I remained silent for a moment and then nodded. “Let him in,” I said, and Clinton nodded before leaving.Taking a deep breath, I composed myself and sat properly while waiting for him. A moment later, he walked in and stood before me. “Alpha Linus, to what do I owe this visit?” I asked, gesturing for him to take the visitor's seat in front of me.He took the seat but didn't say a word. Instead, he kept staring at me, and I found it really uncomfortable. “Do you have something to say?” I asked, and he smiled before leaning on the table, his gaze locked with mine.“I know that you are having an affair with Lord Bernard,” he said, causing me to furrow my brow. “Come on, don't look surprised. We all know t
Bernard's POV“Come on, have a seat,” I gestured when I realized she wasn't making a move to take the seat. I watched her stare at the dishes displayed on the table and then back at me.“What is the meaning of this?” she asked, and I smiled. “Dinner. I want to have dinner with you,” I said and saw her frown.“I did not come for this, Bernard,” she grumbled. “And what did you come for?” I asked, and she was left speechless.“This is just a harmless dinner, okay?” I urged, and after hesitating for a moment, she moved closer and took the seat.With a relieved smile, I took the seat across from her and noticed her staring at the dishes on the table. “You made this yourself?” she asked, and I nodded. “Liar,” she spoke in disbelief, and I scoffed before saying, “There are so many things you don't know about me, Vicky, a lot of things.” I smirked and saw her frown before she placed an empty plate in front of her.I watched her scan the different dishes on the table before she picked up a spo
