Denera

I missed his touch so badly.

His kiss deepened, his hand moving to the back of my neck, pulling me closer. I responded in kind, my arms wrapping around him, holding on as if letting go would mean losing his touch forever.

There was a desperation in our kiss, a need that had been building for so long, finally finding its release.

When we finally pulled away, both of us were breathless, our foreheads resting against each other's as we tried to catch our breath. Rockan's hands were still on me, his touch grounding me, reminding me that this was real, that he was real.

"Denera," he whispered, his voice rough with emotion. "I've been waiting for this moment, for the ceremony to be over, so I could finally hold you like this. But I also don't want to rush you. We have all the time in the world now."

I shook my head, a small smile playing on my lips. "I don't want to wait anymore. I've waited my whole life for something like this, for someone like you. And now that I have you... don't

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    It happened

    TYRIS’ POVI really meant it when I said I didn’t want to club tonight, I wanted to do nothing at all. But my driver, he did a great job convincing me and now I realized he had a point which I only saw when I got to the not-so-great local club of this pack.Without bothering about anything, I walked straight to the bar and sat down by the table watching the bartender mix drinks. I loved how swift she was doing her job.“Can I get something strong?” I called her attention.“How strong?” She turned to me and paused, she smiled as she looked at me, swallowing hard.I scoffed watching her give me those stares. It wasn’t my first time getting such attention from both women and men. I was used to it already but now I wasn’t in the mood to entertain any more troubles in my life.“Strong enough to make an ordinary wolf pass out.” I replied.“With or without wolfsbane?” She asked, still smiling.“Do it your way.”She started her mixing and soon a glass was almost filled with whatever potion s

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    In need of a savior

    THIRD PERSON’S POV Eva got to work awfully late making her colleagues complain and boss mad but she wasn’t in the mood of saying anything to anyone or even listening to them. But she really had no choice.When she was being scolded, she didn’t say anything, she simply stood there listening to whatever they had to say after which she returned to her duties for the day without really hearing what was said about her.She wished she had a choice, she wouldn’t have been here. If only life was fair, if only life treated her a little better than this.For the rest of the day, she decided to avoid anything that would make her come in contact with Tyris. “What’s going on with you? And why didn’t you tell me you’d be this late today?” Lin, her friend, and colleague asked her.Eva took a deep breath, “it was a long story, I’ll tell you about it later.” She replied weakly.“Are you sure you’re good?” Lin asked her.“I’ll be fine.” She replied offhandedly, wanting to be left alone.“You know th

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Temporary solution

    THIRD PERSON’S POV Serena looked at Tyris who mirrored the exact look of astonishment on her face then back her crying sister and her confusion doubled.“Why the heck are you surprised, Lord Tyris? Didn’t you know she’s your mate? Serena still managed to sound sarcastic while asking such an important question at a time like this.“I… knew but she… I didn’t know…” He too was confused, further frustrating Serena.“I didn’t let him know I was his mate. I had to pretend I didn’t feel our bond because… because I don’t want to be heartbroken again. I can’t stand another rejection.” Eva replied crying helplessly.Tyris felt a jab on his gut when he heard her confession. Who would have possibly rejected someone like Eva? Was that creature in their right frame of mind? Trying hard to brush off his confusion he decided to go comfort her first but Serena was already ahead of him. She held her sister’s hand trying to make her stop crying.“Eva, I’m sorry, it’s my fault that things are going th

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    She knew

    TYRIS POV“What exactly do you want?” Eva hissed.“I want you both to listen to me.”“Well, we’re not interested in whatever you have to say. Is that too difficult to comprehend? I couldn’t deny that I loved everything about Eva, even her shouting at me felt like it was everything I needed but Serena was already in the picture.Why the fuck did I fuck with Serena? Why didn’t I waif? Was it really the goddess’s fault or mine? But if I didn’t get Serena pregnant I probably would never have found Eva because Serena wouldn’t have left the packhouse and if she had done I wouldn’t have noticed her absence. Hell! I had to admit that it was the goddess’s fault not mine. The goddess was just being twisted and cruel to me for no good reason.“Can you leave my house now?” Serena asked, arms akimbo rolling her eyes “Why are you being so difficult, Serena?” I asked, letting my frustration get the best of me and I immediately regretted it, biting my lips for doing too much.“I know men have audac

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    More confusion and frustration

    TYRIS POV “Did you just call her sis because she’s your sister or as friends?” I didn’t know when those words slipped out of my mouth. It was intended as a thought.“Yes. She’s my sister, my big sister. Do you know her?” Eva asked.I was supposed to answer Eva’s question, I knew I should but I got carried away, too carried away to think about what she asked. Rather I was mad at the moon goddess.I knew the moon goddess didn’t mean well for me when she paired Rockan and I to one mate but what I didn’t know was that she wouldn’t give up toying with my life after that.She made Rockan and Denara happy together only to make me suffer heartbreak unnecessarily. I don’t know what I did to deserve such callous treatment from her. But she was being extra mean and unkind to me.If she knew she had another mate for me why did she pair Denara and I together? Why did she make Rockan and I have one she-wolf as a mate? Why did she have to wait till I got another woman pregnant before making me meet

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Worse than complicated

    TYRIS’ POVThe sun peeked through the curtains, casting slanted rays of light across the room. I woke up early, the weight of yesterday pressing down on my chest like a heavy stone. Determination surged through me as I pushed the sheets aside and swung my legs over the side of the bed. Today was the day. I could feel it in my bones. I would find Serena and our unborn child.I had already lost Serena once, consumed by my pursuit of Denera, my first mate. The memories of that time haunted me; the choices I made had led to heartbreak and regret. Now, standing on the precipice of another chance, I couldn’t afford to be distracted by the unexpected appearance of Eva. She was a distraction I didn’t need, and her presence here made it all the more complicated. I had to push those foolish urges aside. As I dressed, I reminded myself of my purpose. Serena was out there somewhere, and I would find her. I had no room for anything else—not now. Once I was ready, I stepped outside into the cri

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Tomorrow would come

    EVA’S POV Oh my God!“No, no, no, no, no!” I screamed at myself, gripping the curtain in front of me as if it could somehow shield me from the whirlwind of emotions swirling in my mind. My heart raced, pounding against my chest like a drum, while I tried to process what had just happened. “Is there a problem here?” Amanda walked in, her eyes narrowing with suspicion as they flicked over me. I stood upright, forcing a smile that felt more like a grimace. “No, no ma’am,” I replied, nodding abruptly before turning away, desperate to escape her probing gaze. Mate…He was my mate.The realization struck me like a lightning bolt, and my breath caught in my throat. How could this be? Just moments ago, I was going about my mundane life, managing the inn and taking care of my responsibilities, but now this? I could still see him clearly in my mind—the man with the chiseled jaw and broad shoulders, his hair dark and tousled frame, a face that seemed carved from stone. His eyes, a striking

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    A dilemma

    TYRIS’ POV I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, fighting the overwhelming urge to inhale deeply and drown in her essence. My heart raced, a mix of excitement and fear coursing through my veins. I had never expected to encounter my mate here, in this bustling inn filled with strangers and stories. “Hi?” Eva asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She seemed to have noticed my turmoil but maintained a very composed demeanor. “Is this your first time here?”I looked up, struggling to find my voice amidst the chaos in my mind. “Yes, just passing through.”“Ah, a traveler then. You picked a lively spot. The Silver Moon Inn has its share of stories,” she said, her smile infectious. “Yeah, I can see that,” I replied, my mind racing. How was I supposed to go along with this? I had come in search of Serena, and here I stood, confronted by the very essence of fate itself. My mate was standing before me, a distraction I had never anticipated. “Are you okay? You look a bit pale,” she s

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Never again

    DENARA’S POV “Rockan…” I called as I sluggishly pulled my eyes open and saw him sitting right next to me on the bed holding my hands in the most assuring way ever.“I’m here little mate. I’m here for you.” He assured me and sealed it up with a forehead kiss.I closed my eyes and smiled. “Thank you babe.”“You shouldn’t do that. I live for you.” He kissed the back of my hand and I smiled, opening my eyes to touch his face, and that was when I saw them…“Luna Danielle! Adrianna?” I looked at Rockan searching his eyes for answers but was too impatient to wait for the answers. “What are you doing here? Am I dreaming?”“You think you are a super-shewolf right?” Adrianna rolled her eyes at me as she hugged me.“Denara, you scared us.” Luna Danielle complained.“I’m sorry… I’ll be careful next time.“Why did you bother to bring them back?” I mouthed to Rockan.“Would you have preferred he let you die instead?” Luna Danielle, whom I didn’t know was reading my lips, replied.“I wouldn’t have
