LOGINTessa“Enough of this,” Lucy says, grabbing my wrist before I can even protest, her grip firm but not painful. “You don’t get to hide in your room all day like some forgotten servant.”She couldn't even wait for me to properly tie my hair into a ponytail style. Now, I regret even agreeing to this.“I’m not hiding,” I mutter, though my feet are already moving as she drags me out of my room and down the corridor.She throws me a look over her shoulder and I know what it means. I've been in my room for the past three days, having Juana bring me my meals and avoiding any kind of gathering.That night with Renric was so perfect that it has been replaying in my head ever since. Yet my greatest fear is not being able to deny it should Kael ask. So yeah, Kael is the reason I've been in doors, I don't know how to look him in the face and not deny fucking my own husband.“For three days I've been here, not once have I seen you at the dining table,” her voice drifts me out of thoughts. “Or am I
Renric“Thank you,” she says leaning back.“Don't get it twisted, I just want to give you more time to live.” I say, staring at her. “This doesn't mean you can avoid the inevitable.”I turn and leave, making my way straight to my room. I can't bear to see the look on her face after my harsh words on her.I don't actually enjoy this but I can't be presumed soft. Moreover, I can't let her know I intend to spare her life, no one should know, that way the elders won't have to force my hands.I push the door to my room open, banging it shut behind me and taking a deep breath.Everything in here reminds me of last night, her gown still on my floor, the bed sheets rumpled like there was a fight on it.My wolf stirs up, the scent of the room making every nerve in my body hum.“Why didn't you mark her?” My wolf questions, growling in my head.“You know I can't… she is someone else's mate and somehow they haven't rejected each other!"I clench my fist, picking up the gown and tossing it to my b
RenricThe sky is barely awake, a dull grey bleeding into the horizon as I step into the pharmacy, walking straight to the pharmacist.“Alpha King…” she bows. “What a great honour to have you here in person.” She says, looking threatened by my presence.She swallows, trying to steady herself.“I want an after-morning pill… an effective one.”Her brows furrow but she doesn't hesitate. She nods quickly, pouring out some pills from a transparent small bag into a cover. Six pills actually.“Two pills at most twelve hours after intercourse if none of them is of an alpha bloodline, ” she says, pouring the pills into a tiny bottle. “If any of them is of an alpha bloodline, four pills… if both are of an alpha bloodline, six pills.” She doesn't even look me in the eye.I drop a hundred dollar note before her and snatch out the bottle from her hand, not minding how much it actually costs.“Give me a bottle of water as well.”She nods and rushes out. In no time, she is back, a bottle of water in
Tessa“I can't..” he says, caressing my fucking hard nipple.I don't understand any of this. Why get to this stage and still resist me?“Why?” I yell out, disappointedly.“I don't want to get you pregnant… I just want you.”My heart drops. I don't understand. He married me to help break his curse and the only way it can happen is if I conceive. Is he drunk or something?Regardless, I really want to feel him right now, all of him inside of him. Yet I cannot tell him I took some pills that could stop me from conceiving.“I don't understand… you've always wanted this.”Without responding, he carries me to his bed and places me on it. Then he lies, beside me caressing my hair.“I don't know why the moon goddess had to bring my heat closer but either way, I must control this.”“You must think the moon goddess stupid.” I say, feeling agitated already.He chuckles, “you really want me to fuck you?”I nod immediately.“What's your solution after this?” He asks, his hands tracing my cheeks. “
TessaMy room feels warmer than usual or maybe it’s just me. I just desperately needed to get out of that car and I did.The moment we got home, I hurried to my room, not giving Lucy another chance to trigger me.Now, I stand still as Juana unzips my dress.Somehow my head feels light and that's strange. I press my fingers briefly to my temple, blinking slowly.I didn’t drink that much. So why am I feeling this way?Juana pauses slightly. “Are you alright, Luna?”I nod, “I’m fine….”She takes a step back. “I'm guessing you enjoyed yourself…”“Yeah I did..” I say, forcing a smile.Then my mind drifts to that moment when Renric kisses me. Honestly I don't know how but I feel this goosebumps all over me, the warmth of it sending shivers.A soft knock cuts through the room and my head snaps toward the door. I'm quite sure I am not expecting anyone.She looks at me and I give her a small nod. She moves to the door, opening it just enough and stepping aside quickly.Lucy walks in, ignoring
TessaA strange warmth blooms in my chest. My lips part slightly as I stare at him, wondering how we got to this.Just an hour ago, he didn’t even want me here. He clearly left me all alone at home. Now he’s standing in front of everyone kissing me like I matter.“Isn’t she so gorgeous?” a voice from the crowd cuts through my thoughts.I blink, turning slightly. Everyone is smiling and cheering, like they expect this charade to last.My gaze drifts to Bianca whose lips are pressed tight, her eyes dark, her posture stiff like she’s barely holding herself together.The woman beside her leans in, “I thought you said the Lycan King doesn’t love his new bride.”Her jaw tightens. “He doesn’t,” she snaps quietly and turns sharply, walking away.My gaze shifts to Kael who clearly doesn't have a smile on his face. He is just standing, glass in hand and staring at me.He lifts his glass toward me, his head dipping just slightly.I swallow, my fingers tightening faintly around my own glass.“Com
Tessa The car hums softly as it speeds down the road. I am sitting in the back seat of the car, holding a sealed envelope my stepmother, Aunt Ophelia, gave me. On both sides of me, and in the SUV following behind, are ten guards whose duty is to ensure I reach the colony safely and deliver the not
TessaThe knock comes again, I keep quiet, my focus still remaining on the metal door. At this moment, I hear the door handle swing, my heart thunders, so I quickly stand up.The door opens and Alfred walks in, his expression unreadable. I take a step forward, not pulling my eyes from him.He stops
Tessa“I want alone time with Theresa,” my father says.Alfred nods and begins stepping away.“Father! What are you doing?” I ask, stepping forward. “I just told you that he knows the truth? That he has the video!”He hits me across the face, making me stutter backwards. Alfred halts and turns bac
TessaMy wolf stirs within me; she groans at first, then we howl as I look at the bruises on my hands.“And yet, you are still not healing,” he smirks, his eyes also on the bruises on my hands.The glowing stops, and I try to pull out my claws, believing my wolf should have healed and that would he
