FreddyI stare into the woods while feeling like the biggest scumbag on the face of the earth. I thought I could be good for Tess; more than anything, I wanted to make her happy. If I could be half as good and perfect as she has been to me, I thought it would be acceptable for me to be with her. But now it turns out that I’m a blood junkie. I’m addicted to human blood, and without even realizing it, I’ve killed plenty of humans due to my stupid thirst. The worst part is that I can hardly remember anything from it. I blacked out due to my hunger, and that scares me. What if I, on some unfortunate day, blackout and attack Tess? She is the most important person in my life. Her laughter and smile is the only thing able to make me feel like an actual person, and it kills me to realize that while I want to protect her, I might be the most dangerous person in her life.Frustration runs through my veins, and I turn around to walk back to my car. But I don’t make it very far before I hear
TessI find many things in this world scary: walking to the bathroom late at night when you don’t have a nightlight on, fake friends, the members of the Safir pack, and last, and probably my biggest fear, is the thought of spending eternity alone. Sue me for thinking that’s a terrible fate, but that is how I feel without lying to myself. I know plenty of women out there are like, “I don’t need a man! I’m strong and independent!” but I’m not one of them. Fuck no. I don’t want to be single for the rest of my life. I want to spend my days with someone special. Laugh and see the world together.And the thought of trusting someone so much that you can show yourself vulnerability to them? That’s beautiful. I want to let someone in. To let them help me whenever I feel low and dead inside. And in return, I want to do the same for them. Love is about giving and taking; I will love my partner through everything. We will face the darkness of this world together and survive side by side. That’s
Tess When I return to Wesley’s mansion with Freddy, I’m not surprised by all the stares that we receive. Every pack member is gawking at the handsome hybrid standing behind me. They don’t seem to know whether or not he is the enemy, while Wesley doesn’t look one bit bothered. “Ah, you’re back,” Wesley says while Lily rushes over to hug me. “Tess!” the woman is heavily pregnant, and her big stomach makes it hard to hug her, but I somehow manage to wrap my arms around her neck. “I’m okay,” I tell her and let out a breath of relief before turning around to gesture at Freddy. “Freddy saved me from the Safir pack.” “Did he now?” Wesley asks and cocks his head to the side with an impressed expression. His arms are crossed over the chest of his expensive suit. “And how exactly did you save Tess from the Safir pack? Should I be worried about them coming after us?“ “No,” Freddy says while fixing his cufflinks. “I took care of most of them. I would be surprised if their Alpha had any more
Lily Who needs a boyfriend when you can get a massage with a happy ending? Packless and alone, with nothing but my thoughts and a feeling of abandonment, I stroll through the doors of luxury. Normally, I would never be able to afford to get a massage at this place. I'm a brokeass rogue, but today is different. Today is the day of my twenty-fifth birthday, and I have the most marvelous surprise waiting for me: an adventurous massage. Did Juanita rob someone to give me this birthday present? It wouldn’t surprise me if she pulled out some crazy stunt like that. Because one thing’s for sure... This place screams money. I guess there’s only one way to find out. Juanita told me to knock on door sixty-nine, and my knuckle is hovering above the wood. My heart rate is a few beats above normal since anxiety has gripped my entire body. I need to calm down. This is supposed to be relaxing, I remind myself; it’s not like I’m about to rob a bank or something. With a sigh, I finally raise my f
LilyThe reason I smoke is because I’m agitated without it. Restless. Easily overwhelmed. A lunatic with way too many daily panic attacks. I had one earlier, I’m sure, but damn, where the heck am I?“Do you feel better now?”My eyes fully open to the sound of a sexy male voice, and I freeze into a block of ice when concerned, green eyes meet mine. The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen on this planet is lying in front of me, so I guess that part when a hot guy massaged me wasn’t a dream...I’m suddenly struggling to breathe.The man in front of me is single-handedly putting every book boyfriend I’ve ever read to shame. He is dressed in nothing but a crisp t-shirt and a pair of boxers, and his clothes barely hide his perfectly carved “V” and lower abs. He is incredibly attractive, and the little smile on his lips tells me he is very aware of me checking him out.He tilts his head to the side. “I wasn’t sure whether or not to call an ambulance, but perhaps passing out is a normal occurre
Lily “I don’t even know the name of your pack,” I say in a low tone after having had sex three times with Alpha Wesley. I’m not sure how the massage turned into a naughty business, but I think I’m crushing on the man sprawled on the bed in front of me. He grins at me while holding up his head with his muscular arm. Is this the sexiest Alpha alive, or what? It’s hard not to notice his muscular form, and it shouldn’t be possible, but my cunt comes to life for the fourth time when a telltale smirk curves his lips. “The Luan pack,” he says, gauging my reaction. “That’s the name of my pack...have you ever heard of it?” Not good. What do I tell him? I can’t just go ahead and admit I’m a rogue and have no idea what pack is which and what. I know nothing! Will Wesley judge me for that? Most werewolves don’t respect us packless wolves, and I have a feeling someone with a high position like Wesley would hate me on the spot if he knew what I was. He would also probably be disgusted that he h
LilyMy worst nightmare is here. I’m pregnant, and the child belongs to Wesley Brooks—my asshole of an Alpha mate who rejected me for being a rogue. It seems he is also the CEO of Brooks Industries. That bastard is selling phones and computers, even to the magical realm, and just happens to be a billionaire because, of course, he is! It’s just my luck to get kicked to the curb by the whole package.I stroke my hand over the bump on my stomach when I feel light kicking and let out a deep breath. “Don’t worry, honey. Daddy might be a jerk, but I don’t regret you. I only regret that I didn’t slap his pretty face when I had the chance. He is a total asshole, and we don’t need him, but what we do need is his money...”It’s embarrassing to admit this, but I’m broke and in desperate need of money. I’m living in the worst apartment New Jin City has to offer, and I’m late on rent. And to add to my misery, I’m three months pregnant, which means my baby is most likely a human. A werewolf pregnan
WesleyI slowly blink, but it doesn’t work. The tiny brunette is still sitting beside me in my car. I’m not hallucinating. This nightmare is real.Lily is pregnant with my child.The olive-skinned, brown-eyed pathetic rogue that was abandoned by her pack for being a lazy “herb” smoking weakling will forever be a part of my life. (Yes, I looked up the reason why she was kicked out of her pack.)I sigh.How did it come to this?I wasn’t thinking when I had sex with Lily. My head was too busy listening to my cock, and now I’m here, sitting in my limousine with a fucking rogue. My chauffeur is taking us to my mansion, and I swear it’s hell sharing a seat with this failure of a werewolf. She keeps glancing up at me, looking scared, and that’s the only positive thing about this situation, that I scare her. I hope that will keep her from talking, but I’m not that lucky...“How much further?” Lily asks, and I inwardly groan at the sparkle in her dark eyes. She is the talkative kind, isn’t she
