The charming mask David always wears is almost slipping. He's angry. Angry that I won't let him touch me, that I flinch when he wants to hug me... that I keep mentioning Leo's name. I can see it in his eyes: I can feel it: jealousy, rage, madness. He isn't a man used to being denied.

"So after I expressed my feelings for you, you went to another man's house, Lara?"

He pronounces my name with the same vitriol attached to the word, WHORE.

"I didn't go to his house. When I got home, he was already in my room."

"Oh, was he? Then I guess that changes everything. I'm no longer mad that you slept with him."

"I don't answer to you, David. And I didn't sleep with Leo."

He makes an annoyed sound. "You're not even wearing the clothes I told you to wear. I said, wear a crop top, not that."

I grip the fringes of my dress, suddenly feeling small. "Who do you think you are to criticize what I wear? I love this dress. Leo loves it too."

Another my mention of Leo's name. I did that one to piss David

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   74. Untouchable girl

    DAVID's POV "But where did all the birds come from?" Lara's voice echoes, following the sound of footsteps crunching dry leaves. I return to my hiding spot, and watch as a bewildered Lara dashes back to her parents. "Mama, papa!" They are already standing from their mats. Lara finds the sight unbelievable. "Ma...wait, how?" she stutters, unable to find the right words. "Don't worry, princesa," her dad replies, pulling her in for a hug. Still, she asks a thousand questions, voice muffled, tearful and all. "But I thought you were dying." Her mom joins in the hug. "It's okay, mi hija. Just know that we're fine now." "Okay, mama. I love you two so much," she says, laughing. "We love you too," they reply in sync. From the shadows, a smile graces my lips. I don't regret betraying my pack for the girl. It's strange.. but I think I'd do anything to please her. Anything. 'Dumbass,' my wolf mutters from his dark corner. "Dumbass? I did something nice for our girl. We should be ha

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   73. Fate is an ironic witch.

    DAVID's POV. Fate is an ironic witch. She makes you wait for four centuries to find your mate. You find her and think, "yes, here she is, I'll take her, make her mine and show her the world." Then fate says, "oh, you thought your loneliness had come to an end? Sike!" The girl comes from a long line of werewolf hunters. The notorious Diego and Rosa Bello are her parents. Monsters only ever beget monsters. I know I'm no saint, but are my sins so grave that the Luna goddess chooses to punish me this way? "Diego.." I seethe. He coughs again as his eyes flutter open, then widens like a deer caught in headlights. "It's you... you monster.." he hisses in hostility, even while dying. Relentless as hell. "I always did admire your fighting spirit," I mutter, moving to his hunter wife, Rosa. After tapping her shoulder lightly, she stirs back to conciousness. Her reaction is the same as her husband's. "Miss me?" I ask with a little smile. She gives a grimace. "Your kind shouldn't b

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   75. The Mastermind

    The plane ride from Spain back to California is the saddest, longest journey ever. There is no second that I don't spend regretting my decision to leave Lara. I have half a mind to barge into the cockpit, and force the pilot to stop the plane. My wolf is hundred times angrier, intensifying my struggle. 'I found our mate. Then you lost her. Great job, Daevid. You really are the Alpha of the century,' wolf mocks. "I didn't have a choice. I lost the battle against her father and her brother." 'Because they cheated. They didn't play fair,' he growls. "I couldn't fight with sand in my eyes." 'Yeah, excuses. Keep making 'em, but I'll tell you the truth — you fucked up.' The person seated next to me throws a wary glance, either scared or confused. Shit, I can't afford to draw the attention of humans. I lean back into my seat, and look out the window. The blue skies are changing to a strange shade of grey.. as if a storm were coming. Wolf makes another fiery jab. 'Maybe you'll be

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   72. FROM HIS EYES.

    DAVID's POV FIVE YEARS AGO. ‘Do not fucking stop. We're getting closer to your mate. You have to keep going.’ The voice inside me is a growl of agitation, yearning and teeth. My chest tightens, electric tingles spreading through me like waves. I'm standing on the stone tower of the Castle of Urueña. From here, I can almost see the entire village, its people, the vineyard, the fields of wheat... but I can't find the girl. "Are you sure she's here? I still don't feel the mate bond," I mutter under my breath. ‘The girl is here. I could smell her from a million miles away,’ my wolf snarls. I can almost feel him pacing inside me, tail lashing, hackles raised. His need is a hot, dangerous pressure just under my skin, urging me to move, to claim. I understand his excitement. No Alpha in my bloodline has ever waited this long to be granted a mate by the Luna Goddess. ‘Fuck, there's that special vanilla scent again. Go into the village and find our girl. We need her. Go,’ my wolf ins

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   71. Once upon a time

    LARA's POV. Once upon a time... A time too far to enjoy, too near to forget, There was a princess in a small spanish village called Urueña. She lived in a tiny cottage with her brothers and her parents. They didn't have much, but they had one another. They were happy. But this princess wanted more. Money, freedom, power, all things that her little village couldn't give her. So she saved up all her pennies, got on a plane, and traveled to a far, faraway land... Nobody told this princess that there were werewolves in this land. Nobody told her she would end up entangled in their crazy world. Don't look too far, I'm the princess in this fairytale. Oh, who am I kidding? This isn't a fairytale, and I'm no princess. "You know what I loathe, Lara?" David asks quietly as he steps closer to the bed, hands behind his back. His voice is calm. But his face tells a more tempered tale. His chest is bare, sweat glistening on his abs beneath the dim, dancing lights. I gulp hard, shaking m

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   70. No man foes Roman

    Leonardo's POV "You knew all along, you bastard," I growl in anger, the veins on my neck bulging. "You had to have known you were the father." Roman stands over us, dressed in all black as usual. Wolffish grin on the asshole's face. No remorse, no fucking shame. "Yeah, I knew," he says like it's nothing. "She begged me to help. And I thought, hey—who am I to deny a damsel in distress? But then she started talking about babies, and I realized…" He shrugs. "I have missions, Leo. Big ones. I can’t be tied down with a crying brat and a mother who’s even crazier. So I told her to take those tears to someone stupid enough to give a fuck. Little wonder she chose you." "You son of a—" "Focus!" the midwife's order breaks in. "The girl is dying as we speak." Lena is now pale as bone, her mouth frothing, her body twitching. She lets out another choking cough, blood flecking her lips. Death itself would be scared of this gruesome sight. "Your blood was poison in her veins," the midwife con
