Paul
I leave my car and tell Paul, the guy who wouldn't let me drive by myself, to give me an hour. He drives away and I inhale deeply before walking to the porch of the house I grew up in.
After last night's dream, I can't look at it the same way I did when dad threw a party for my 25th birthday.Did I really fool myself into thinking we were a happy family once? Were we at one point in time? And if we were, what changed?I plan on finding that out.I knock and my brother Jason opens the door for me. "Lily!" he pulls me into a strong embrace, "What took you so long? Don't tell me that dude is holding you hostage. If he is, you know I will-""Lily can take care of herself," Dad interrupts him. "Come on in, sugar. I made us some tea and biscuits."I gaze at the old man and it feels as though I am seeing him for the first time. He cooks now. I almost forgot. He had to learn when I left.To think that I felt guilty after leavKaugnay na kabanata
His Mate, Her Fate Guest Room
I enter the guest room and take all of my stuff back to Darius' bedroom.We have a bet coming.Finally something to take my mind off of today's conversation with Dad. I take out my red lace lingerie that I prepared earlier this morning and leave with them to take a shower. I know Darius will be upstairs by the time I finish and I have planned this meticulously. I shower with a rose scented gel and spray Coco Mademoiselle perfume on the tip of my neck hook and wrists. I stare in the mirror and comb my long black hair, so that it falls over my shoulders in big shiny locks. Then I put on the sexy sleep attire. It is a short sleep gown, reaching to my mid thighs. The upper part is red black see through lace shaped like a bra, it is cut under the breasts and the lower red silk is split into two, uncovering my matching black red lace thong. I shake my head, smiling. My poor mate doesn't know what he's up against. I open the door and see him lying in bed, covered up to his mid abdomen.
His Mate, Her Fate Mate's Arms
I wake up wrapped up in my mate's strong arms. He lies behind me, my back to his chest, one hand over my belly. I feel so well rested. I could spend an entire day in bed like this."Good morning," I whisper, stroking his lower arm gently, then I lay a kiss on it.I expect him to moan sleepily, but instead he speaks with an awaken voice. "Good morning, Luna." He inhales the scent of my hair and then bites my neck passionately.I get tingles all over.Then he whispers into my ear. "I want to make us a child."I freeze at once. Somehow, everything is done more easily in the dark. The morning sheds a revealing light onto the real us.I tilt my head for 90 degrees. "I didn't know you were awake."He doesn't go off the topic, but cups my breast instead, rubbing his nose against my ear. "An heir to the pack."I swallow hard. One he will have to claim. And if challenged for it, possibly give his life for it. "Everything in its own time," I say, removing his hand lightly. He frowns. "What's
His Mate, Her Fate He Doesn't Consider Me An Equal
*2 weeks later*The house entrance door swings open and I hear Darius' angry voice from upstairs. "I'm fine! It's a superficial cut... Damn it!"I rush downstairs to find Darius being supported by two pack men by each side, bleeding heavily from a seemingly deep cut over his left ribs. There are quite a few other bruises and marks on other parts of his uncovered torso."What happened?" my hands run to him."Lila," he looks at me, "it's nothing. You shouldn't stress." There is an authoritative undertone to his words and I know he is referring to the possible child I might be carrying. It's been two weeks since we've had the 'accident', though. If I was pregnant, he should've felt it by now.Still, I lay a protective hand over my abdomen as I crouch down. "Tell me what happened," I repeat, now demanding."We lost Kyle and Ezra," he admits with a heavy heart.When I watch him this hurt, I even forget I'm angry with him. Is it possible that I love him, then? Regardless of all the shit he
His Mate, Her Fate That's Not How You Do It
"That's not how you do it!" Simone yelled as we wrestled on the ground in my backyard, me clutching her hands - keeping her stranded."Oh, yeah?" I chuckled. "Then why am I winning?""You're cheating, Lila!" she insisted, "Let me go!"I giggled, enjoying having beat her, then I let her go.She jumped to her feet and dusted her pants off. "You're stupid, Lila! I don't like playing with you."I made an insulted o-shape with my mouth. "We're best friends! Besides, it was your idea!" I pushed her away gently."Don't touch me! I'll be your Alpha someday!" she squealed. "You know what, you're uninvited from my birthday party."She gave me a nasty look and strutted towards my house.I watched her in anger, seeing my Dad come out, his face pale. I'd never seen him look that bad before.I got up to my feet as well and rushed towards him.Simone greeted him on the way out, then Jorah tapped my father's shoulder and whispered something to him."Where's Mom?" I insisted as I came close enough."I
His Mate, Her Fate Boldness
I can't believe I'm finally doing this. I take a deep breath as I enter the woods surrounding my new home.I should've done this a long ass time ago. Face my demons. I'm not a child for God's sake. And I shouldn't let vampires and werewolves kill each other over me. I am a strong. Fucking. Wolf.A fallen branch cracks as I step onto it and it makes me sharpen my senses."Where are you?" I call.Nothing.She doesn't want to come out so close to the clearing, my wolf concludes."I'm here!" I yell.Nothing.I need to go deeper.Every now and then I jilt from hearing weird moving sounds. I am relieved that it's only animals or birds. For now, my wolf awakens.Don't be such a coward.How far do we have to go before she appears? And what if somebody else appears instead of her? Someone that wishes us dead? Another branch cracks.I jerk my head back. "Who's there?" I yell, trying to sound dangerous. Maybe you should shift... It's not like your pathetic hundred pounds can protect us.... m
His Mate, Her Fate Frozen
I've never felt this frozen before.There is a million of little unformed thoughts running inside my head, but I cannot single out any. Is she lying? Is she really my mother? And how?!The woman notices my distress, so she speaks. "I should've guessed Patrick never told you the truth.""My mother is dead," is all I manage to utter.She smiles mirthfully. "I guess you are right in a way. I did die. I just didn't stop to exist..." I swallow hard. She is lying. "So, what are you saying? I know you couldn't turn! Vampire's bite kills werewolves, it doesn't turn them into one!"She nods. "I wasn't bitten," she says simply. "Lily... if you want to know my story, I have to tell it from the beginning."I stare at the seemingly unaggressive vampire and shrug. "It's not like I don't have the time to hear it."The woman takes a seat opposite of me, at a safe distance. "When Patrick and I joined in a ceremony, we were... very much in love." I notice a small smile playing on her lips, but she do
His Mate, Her Fate What Are You Doing Here
"What in hell are you doing here?" Jake shrieks as he opens the door to our house."I'll take that as in please make yourself at home," I say shoving him aside as I enter and head straight to their new couch that looks super comfortable."Lily, Darius is searching all over for you!" he runs fingers through his thick dark hair.I take my phone out and see five missed calls and two text messages from Darius:*where the hell are you??**Lila, are you alright?!?!*I type back.*at my parents' place. All good here. Talk to you soon.*I stare at my brother. "I didn't come to talk about Darius," I state. "Go get your brothers and our father. We're going to have a family meeting."I thought long and well whether I should tell my siblings the truth. I reached the conclusion that if my dad harmed Mom and the truth could only hurt them, I'd keep it to myself. But, Mom's alive. And hiding it from them could mean robbing them of a mother. I can't do that."Oh?" Jake frowns. "If this is about you g
His Mate, Her Fate Sneaking In
"And then we'll sneak in to steal the ceremony jewels and get out before anyone notices we were even there," Dione said with a mischevious gleam in his dark eyes."Ahaha, that'd be freaking amazing!" I laughed as five of us were seated on a wooden bench in the woods clearing, close to its edge. It was our main meeting spot. The five of us named ourselves the 'Rebel Gang', even though everyone else called us the 'Havoc Clan'.The team was lead by me and Dione - my best friend from our pack's Delta's family. He was a true rebel at heart and a brilliant schemer. The three other members were Helena, Rachel, and Campton. We were all brilliant fighters and disliked the hierarchy instilled upon us."It's a perfect crime because no one will suspect us, since minors aren't even allowed to attend monthly gatherings," Dione wiggled his dark brows."C'mon, guys, stealing that equipment's a step too far. What if they get attacked and are left with nothing to defend themselves with?" Helena shook h
