MasukKing Darius:~~~âSomething is amiss with her,â my lycan, Thorne, says as we look at Alpha Caroline crying. âI don't think she's acting,â he adds, and I put my hand inside my pocket, fisting tightly as I waited for the elevator doors to close.However, before it closes, I see her open her mouth, as if what she's about to say is important, but the damn door slid closed before I could get a word.I stand there torn between my emotionsâconfusing emotions.What is it about her? All the girls who throw themselves at me suffer my wrath, but this woman, this beautiful woman who's already mated to two, keeps invading my thoughts.I'm possessive over her. I want her. Even more, after having a taste of her, her unique scent of rose and coffee that seems to keep me wide awake.I was wrong.I shouldn't have rejected her like that; maybe I knew her before the accident. She had looked sincere when she asked me if I didn't remember her; I was stupid not to notice.I need to fucking go see her and li
Caroline:~~~I'm someone who easily forgets faces, but not this face. Thanks to him and his assailants, my life had taken a wrong turn. I even thought I lost the man I loved.But he's been beside him since I arrived.I've been too overwhelmed with emotions seeing my mate alive, so I didn't pay much attention to his presence.But hearing his voice, that same voice he had used to taunt me six months ago speak, I'm sure, more than ever, it's him.âAlpha Caroline of the Crimson Shadow pack, please come with me.â he requests, and with a deadly glare that I'm sure could cut through steel directed at him, I rise to my feet and exclaim."You!... you are one of those who kidnapped me."His eyes widen for a brief second with shock, but it's quickly replaced by obliviousness.Damn, heâs very good.He looks behind him like I'm speaking to someone behind him, like I don't know what I'm saying.I roll my eyes and stop in front of him. To hell if he's a lycan; I will fight him if that's how I can g
King Darius frowns when Caroline runs into him and hugs him tightly.Maybe he's been wrong about her; all women are the same when they see you have power?For goddess' sake, she has mates and children, yet she throws herself at him.So all that happened back at his home; she knew he was inside the car.It was her plan all along, and he had fallen for it.Months without sex can do that to him.âI love you so much,â she says, surprising King Darius. It seems this is her way of making him accept her appeal. He thought.Fine, he wants to see how far she would go for it.And she showed him just how far.She cradles his face and kisses him passionately like it wasn't the first.King Darius wanted her to finish, and then he would push her away like the tramp she is.But her taste, her trembling lips moving against his, her petite body that feels right against his, and her scentâthey all feel familiar.So, before he can stop himself, his hands involuntarily move, one wrapping around her waist
âOh goddess!â Caroline exclaims, her tears falling as she begins to run forward. Could she have been by her Trevor's side all this while? Those golden eyes last night⊠They had looked so familiar. My Trevor. Oh, goddess. My mate⊠Is he really aliveâŠ? Caroline runs forward, though filled with uncertainty; she persists, praying to the moon goddess that her hopes won't be shattered. ~~~ On the second floor, inside King Darius' office. King Darius had finished his meeting with an alpha; feeling the urge to turn, he looked behind to see Mr. Moore opening the car door for Caroline. He rises up and positions himself in front of the glass wall and watches as they approach the entrance and engage in a conversation. Caroline looks up, her eyes accurately landing on him, but he knew she couldn't see him. But then they stopped, facing each other as they spoke, seemingly in an argument. So frustrating his office was soundproof; he couldn't listen in on their argument. He thought, a wic
At Stella's husband's inn, Caroline checked the time on her wrist after brushing her hair.âWish me luck,â she declares, smiling at her mother and Aida.âAll the best,â both Mrs. Jones and Aida reply in unison, their faces lit up with warm smiles.Caroline nods.She approaches her babies and looks at their faces as they sleep peacefully in their cribs.âThey are sleeping soundly after keeping her up all night.â Caroline mused, shaking her head with an amusing smirk.She exhales deeply, and without further delay, she turns and exits the room.~~~âAlpha Caroline,â Stella calls Caroline, who was about to get inside a car.âOh, Madam Stella. You're here,â Caroline says warmly on seeing the kind elderly woman.âHave you and your family settled in comfortably?â Stella questions softly, and Caroline nods, then replies,âAbsolutely. Thank you once again.âStella smiles hearing that.She stopped in front of Caroline and murmured,âYou're most welcome. And I hope you don't misunderstand the ly
Just to be on the safer side, Caroline peeks her head out; when she doesn't see the lycan king's jeep out, she makes her way toward the red Mercedes-Benz E-Class that seems to dominate the area.She bends over, takes out the red lipstick, and applies it to her lips. A smile spreads across her face as she admires how perfectly red fits and completes her look.Just then, a voice asks her in her head.âWhat would you do if Trevor was watching you from inside the car?â Caroline's smile broadens at that, then she replies inwardly.âI would give him my most adorable pout and put all my seductive skills in action.âCaroline pouts playfully, grinning as she leans in to place a kiss on the window, when she feels herself get yanked away.Everything had happened so fast; the next thing she felt was her lips getting assaulted by another that sucked on her lips with an insatiable hunger.Feeling lightheaded from the abruptness, her hands instinctively wrap around the person's neck, just as she hea
Author: ~~~ Angela is furious for two reasons. First, she can't believe that Cassian, this handsome devil, managed to outsmart her in her own game. Second, she is terrified by her own heart. She is supposed to hate him. She is supposed to feel nothing but disgust for him, especially after
âIt drives you nuts?â Angel repeats in disbelief. âWhat about me? Cassian. How I feel? Five fucking years! Tell me you never touched Melinda!â âI never touched her,â I state, my voice raw. âNot her, not anyone else.â She breaks into a broken laugh, her eyes turning bloodshot with tears she refus
âCassian!â I scream, pounding my fist against the door. âYou motherfucker! Open the damn door!â I stop when the womanâs cries stop abruptly and position my ear against the door; that's when I hear the sound of water running, an indication that they are in the bathroom. âCassian, open the door.â â
Angela [Blair]: ~~~ I wake up from the sunlight on my face, my eyes fluttering open. âWhat the hell?â I groan, my hands instinctively moving to massage the deep soreness near my neck. as I sit up. But I pause when I take in the place. âThis isn't Adrianâs bedâŠâ I don't finish when the thoughts
