Charlotte's POVZayden and I exchanged glances. He wore a serious expression, and I couldn't help but burst into laughter.The one the program was set for couldn't find his mate. "Unfortunate," I muttered and stood up to leave.Approaching the door, I grabbed the handle and tried to pull it open, but it was locked."Zayden, come and open up, I'm leaving.""Where to?""Ashley's room, of course. Be quick, I need a cup of water."He stood up, turned off the television, and approached me. I stepped back to allow him to open the door. However, instead of opening the door, he leaned against it, crossing his arms over his chest."What are you waiting for? Open the door and stop staring at me like that!" I complained. My fear of the young man standing in front of me began to return, and he flashed me a sinister smile."Charlotte, how about I make you frightened of me?"He started strolling toward me, and I retreated."W... what are you talking about?" I asked, my voice trembling, my face grow
Charlotte's POVI immediately shot up, my vision spinning as I scanned the room, spotting the two young men engaged in a heated fight.Everything unfolded in slow motion, giving me the opportunity to slip on my panties hanging at my legs. I hurriedly pulled down my shirt with trembling hands, my head spinning with nausea.The previously locked door was now open, so I dashed out of it, fearing for my safety among the fighting men.Just as I was about to run through the door, a painful growl startled me, and I turned to find an unknown man, his face obscured, holding a knife buried into Zayden's head.I sprinted through the corridors, then down the stairs, aware that someone was in pursuit.I rushed up the stairs to Ashley's room, but a cold, chilling voice filled my head. "Stop right there, and don't move!" the voice commanded. Though I didn't want to stop, his authoritative tone compelled me to freeze in my tracks.My heart raced, and I looked back to see the same medieval demigod Alp
Alex's POVMy mate slept peacefully on the bed, her hair covering her face. This was the day after I brought her to my villa, and she still hadn't woken up. The way she snuggled into my cushion and duvet hinted at her longing for them. I couldn't blame her; she had been living with a family of hunters who adhered to medieval traditions more strictly than the rest of our pack.She might think my pack was living in the past, but it was a regular pack, and I was the Alpha. Everything here was modernized. I'm twenty-three, and according to our pack's tradition, once I found my mate, we were supposed to mate. Afterward, if she was a virgin, the ritual required her blood to be collected on a white cloth, proving her virginity to the whole pack.The pack members had gathered outside, waiting for this ritual. A positive outcome meant a celebration, but a negative one would bring trouble. I had a gut feeling that she might not be a virgin, so I devised a plan to save her, and possibly both of
Alex POV She turned towards me, her stunning hazel eyes fixed on mine, prompting a smile from me. I tapped the space between us, gesturing for her to sit closer to me. She seemed hesitant, and shook her head.Rather than dwell on her reticence, I drew closer, before I pulled her closer, trying to bridge the gap between us. An introduction seemed necessary, considering I didn't know her name, and I assumed she might not know my name, not to talk of being familiar with me, given that she hasn't stepped out of her home in my pack."Hello," I whispered, contemplating how to introduce myself to my mate, but she simply smiled in return."Hi," she whispered back softly."Shall we introduce ourselves?" I offered, noticing her unusual silence, intrigued by her apparent unease around me.She hesitated for a moment, averting her gaze before nodding. She seemed different, strangely mute, and it piqued my curiosity."I'm Alex, the Alpha of the Red Bat Pack," I stated, waiting for her response. I
Alex POV I rushed down from the bed and approached where she had fallen. She lay on the floor, rubbing her temples. I chuckled as I gazed down at her, and she promptly turned to look at me.She stared at me from her supine position on the floor, so I crouched down beside her before playfully ruffling her hair."Are you okay?" I asked, smirking, and she scoffed."Look at me, do I seem okay to you? You pushed me, didn't you?" Her accusation caught me off guard, and I erupted into laughter.Observing her embarrassment as she watched me laughing at her, I noted her earlier desire for revenge – now thwarted by a mere cushion. If I'd thrown it harder, would she have fainted?"Stop laughing," she grumbled, and I raised my hands innocently. Her beauty was undeniable, even in this moment."I didn't push you, little mate, the cushion did," I clarified, gesturing towards the cushion.She glared, grabbed the cushion, and retaliated by hitting me. "What did I do wrong?" I feigned hurt."You threw
Alex POV She stepped back from our embrace, the warmth of her touch vanishing.Cupping her face, I wiped away her tears, my hand resting lightly on her waist."I love you," I murmured, brushing her cheek with my fingers and gazing into her red, tear-dampened lips.As I leaned in, our breaths mingled, teasingly close, her gaze fixed on my lips before meeting my eyes.I gently pulled her closer by her nape, our lips grazing, then melding into a kiss.Exploring her lower lip, tasting away her tears, I drew her closer, our bodies close."Charlotte," I grumbled her name, without breaking the kiss.I demanded entrance into her mouth, and when she granted it, I delicately slid my tongue in. Her mouth was sweet, leaving me longing for more, for her.My hands traced the contours of her body, finding their way to her backside.Squeezing and releasing gently, her moans drove my hunger, aching for her as I swallowed the sounds of her moans."I'm going to mark you as mine," I declared, reluctantly
Alex's POVShe pulled away from me, looking startled."I… I had no idea," she muttered, staring in another direction."Hey," I called, making her look at me."I know you had no idea about my pack's traditions, but don't be scared, okay?" She nodded."Are you a virgin?"She shook her head, and I nodded in understanding. I couldn't deny my disappointment."You're not a virgin," I muttered under my breath, and my jaws clenched. Silence reigned between us as I watched her. I wanted to act as if I wasn't affected, but I was. It hurts to know that someone else has seen the nakedness of this beautiful lady before me. Others were only supposed to see the exterior, while I should have been the only one privileged to see her unclothed. I'm supposed to be the only one to undress her, explore her body, and give her the pleasures of mating with an Alpha mate. All others should have only known that she was beautiful, with a perfect figure, well-formed curves, and medium-sized breasts.I tried not t
Alex's POVI held the door open for her to walk in. After she did, I closed it while she walked into the middle of the bathroom.I proceeded to pull the white curtains over the bathroom windows. After confirming everything was safe, I turned to her.I saw her staring from where she stood, looking puzzled."What are we going to do?" She asked, her eyes scanning the bathroom.My bathroom was luxuriously beautiful, sparkling white, with transparent gold-tinted-black tiles and walls.She stood in the middle of the bathroom with a robe, adding a beautiful touch to its look."Take off your robe," I instructed before walking into another room in the bathroom with transparent double doors, resembling an elevator. That's where the bathtub was.I returned with a new white material before approaching her.Her belts were already loosened, and I could see her cleavage, belly button, and mid-thighs, with her white panties. She hadn't taken off the robe and watched me approaching."What do you want t
