I didn't have time to edit, please pardon the mistakes, I'll do it tomorrow.
My eyes slowly open to the sunshine on my skin. I try to move, but strong arms trap me. I smile and look up at my sleeping mate. I didn't expect him to be a hugger. I love his embraces; they are so safe and warm. I kiss his lips gently and struggle out of his grasp. " Zuriel, I want to pee," I push him away gently. He only holds me closer. I slap him softly, and his eyes open. I kiss his neck. " You have me in a death grip. Release me; I need the bathroom," I tell him softly. Reluctantly, he let me go, and I ran to the bathroom. I wash my hands once I'm done and go back to bed. My mate is frowning, touching his cheek. " That kind of hurts," " Stop being a big baby," I laugh." I'm sure it left a mark," he continues, frowning. I roll my eyes and straddle him. He seems pleased in this position, " Should I kiss it," " Yes, please." I laugh at how childish he seems right now. I gently kiss his cheek. His hands gently roam over my skin, leaving a burning sensation. " You're distracti
I reach Zuriel's office building in 20 minutes and go straight to the top floor. Everything in this building is elaborate, with marble floors and white surfaces; I approach the reception desk. There is a brunette wearing quite revealing clothes. She looks at me head to toe and gives me a fake smile, "And what brings you here, Miss?" she asks, her voice tinged with a hint of unfriendliness. " I'm here to see Mr. Crawford. Is he available?" I ask politely, smiling. " He's busy; please leave," she sneers, and I gape at her rudeness. She didn't even attempt to call his secretary. I inhale and take steps towards the desk, placing my hand on it and looking her in the eye. " Call his secretary to check," I say. She straightens and glares at me. " He is busy and won't entertain you. He has a type, and it is surely not you," the receptionist snickers. I scoff, my eyes flashing, and she gasps, stepping back. I let my aura wrap around her. " Tell his secretary that Elara Silvius is
I go to the kitchen and the staff bow, and greet me. I tell them to make food for three and bring it out to the garden. While they do that, I go to see my parents. However, the servants informed me they had moved to a nearby mansion after my wedding. So much has changed, and I didn't know. I need to call and visit my parents often, but many things have been on my mind. The shrilling of my phone gets me out of my mind. It's Zuriel calling me. I feel a sting in my chest. I watch the phone ring until it stops. I'll talk to him when I get home. I get to my feet and smile as my brother and his mate approach, fingers interlocked. I scrutinize the woman. She has golden dark skin, amber eyes, and long black hair that she styled in braids. She looks young, too, maybe the same age as me, but I'm taller than her by an inch. My brother's mate is lean and a bit muscular. Clearly, she works out with those abs on her stomach. She wears tight leather pants, a tank top, and high-heeled boots. Khai
I open the elevator and go to the penthouse. I unlock the door, and my husband is waiting for me, standing next to the grand piano in the foyer. He approaches me, but I stop walking and raise my hand. He stops and frowns. " Are you alright?" he asks, concerned. I only nod. " I'm tired. I don't want to talk right now," I murmur, walking past him. He grabs my wrist gently and looks down at me. " Elara, you have to understand my reasons for not wanting a child," he says. I feel tears in my eyes again. I want to walk away before I can cry, but I choose to stay. " Just one, please. And if you don't like it, we'll ship it off to our parents," I beg, but he is adamant. "No, it will still be Levianthan," he insists. " So, I should get pregnant with another man's child and bring it into our matrimonial home?" I ask, annoyed. Zuriel growls at me and tightens his hold on my wrist. " I'll kill it and then kill the man who dared touch you," he says through his teeth. " This is unfair to
After I left the bathroom, I wore a two-cut dress and heels and carried my bag. I meet Zuriel in the bedroom; he looks handsome and ready for work. He is talking on the phone but ends the call and eyes me. I smile at him and walk towards him. "What? Did I leave you speechless?" I ask, and he nods. "Breakfast?" he asks. "Yes, please," Going downstairs, we find breakfast already served on the table. "This looks good," I murmur as he pulls my chair. I immediately dive into eating. I didn't realize my hunger, and the food was delicious. Zuriel is watching me as I eat, and I flush. "What?" "Nothing," After breakfast, my mate dropped me off at the university, and I entered the building. My first two classes were a little boring, and after I came out, I met up with Brandon at the university restaurant. "So, what were you going to tell me?" I ask after placing my order for tea. "It's about River. I found out something," I narrow my gaze. I haven't heard from River since she
I'm lying in bed, eyes on the wall clock. Why is Zuriel not back yet? Should I call him? ' Yes, please do,' Ara whines. She misses him, and I do, too, but I don't want to be one of those wives who leave no room for their husbands to breathe. Zuriel rarely goes out, so I should let him enjoy this time with Bruce. I close my eyes, determined to sleep, but suddenly, I hear a ruckus downstairs. I shoot up from the bed and run downstairs. I turn on the light in the foyer. Lou has already beaten me there. He bows to me and puts his gun away. I turn my attention towards Bruce and My husband. The former is on the floor; he must have slipped. " Hello, wife," my husband staggers towards me and wraps me in his arms. My arms circle his waist. " I see you had fun," I chuckle. " Too much fun," Bruce slurs, getting to his feet, but he lands on his ass again. There is another man with them, standing in the corner. He is handsome, tall, and lean; his hair is in little dreadlocks. I haven't seen h
I, alpha Connor Tomson, reject you, Elara Silvius, as -," he stops, and a wicked smile forms on his full lips, " I won't reject you. You'll carry around the bond and get to suffer with it. It is payback for what your mother did to my sister," He sneers. Am I imagining this? What the fuck is happening right now. I can't speak. I'm too shocked. The room is spinning, and my heart is pounding against my chest. I finally open my mouth to speak, " But why?" my voice is a whisper. " Didn't you fucking hear me?" Alpha Connor is annoyed now. " I- I did, but why are you rejecting me? We mated," I say, looking around his suite. Our clothes clattered on the floor. He took my virginity!He walks towards me coldly, his face stoic. I'm going crazy with perplexity. Yesterday was the mating ball in the pack, and unmated wolves from different packs came to my pack, the Autumn Moon in hopes of finding a prospective bride or mate. I wasn't expecting to find mine, but I did. It was Alpha Connor. He wa
Connor I've spent years plotting against the Silvius family for what they did to my sister. Alpha Rhaegar Silvius. The King of the werewolf race promised her marriage, but as soon as he found his mate, he rejected and humiliated her. He threw her in the dungeons, and later, his mate, the Queen, killed my sister. She didn't deserve what happened to her. Juliana was kind and only ever wanted love from a bastard who didn't deserve it. I was only a child when this happened, but I saw the destruction it caused us. They cut us off financially. We still had money, but barely. My mother was stricken with grief, and it got worse when my grandfather died, and I had to take over. I was pleased that time because, unlike my grandfather who didn't want retribution, I wanted it. I needed it. I worked hard and did odd jobs, betrayed my kind just for money to keep my pack running. I plotted the death of the Silvius, however, it was hard. They are wealthy and influential. No one would dare go against
