Gianna's POV“What is it?” He asked his face, calm and not showing any emotions.“Yesterday, you said that Enzo had entrusted you to me so you ought to have protected me.” He nodded tentatively, clearly unsure of where the direction the conversation was heading to.I was also unsure and hesitant to ask, so I wouldn’t look like a whiny brat, but I couldn't stop my mouth from opening to continue.He was frowning now. “Yeah I did.” He paused before continuing. “If you're trying to remind me how much I failed in that task, I understand. I know I should have protected you more and I'm…”I immediately placed my finger on his lip to cut him off. He froze looking down at my finger on his lip. I blushed realizing how forward I was as I removed my finger and took a step back. I cleared my throat and comported myself. “What are you talking about? Of course I don't blame you and no, I'm not trying to remind you for such a reason.”“You don't?” His face scrunched in confusion as he tilted his head
Gianna's POVI pushed open my eyes groggily as I slowly woke up. The sunlight rushed into my eyes making me clamp them back shut with a groan. Snuggling further into my oddly hard yet warm pillow, I moaned trying to find the right angle to fall back into sleep.My whole body felt quite lethargic and sore as if I had run a marathon during my sleep and it made me confused. Did I have a sprint session in my sleep? Also why was my pillow so hard? My bed is also weirdly shaped.I moved around continuously, huffing as I did. My bed suddenly wrapped me tighter in its embrace lulling me back into a sweet and comfortable sleep. It took a while for my brain to process it but when I did, my eyes snapped open and I stilled all movements. How can a bed embrace me?A tanned, muscled and enticing chest was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes, followed by a nipple. My eyes strayed further to the side and I caught a glimpse of rippling biceps flexing as the owner's arm stroked my back in a soo
Bryant's POVMy whole body hurt. I could barely move and the little movement I made made my pain even worse. Still with all this, I forced myself to maintain a calm facade with a gentle smile on my face as I looked up at Gia.It wasn't ego. I could never act egotistical in anything that concerned her. No. Instead, It was just me ensuring that she didn't cry any more. I had come to a realization after seeing her bawling her eyes out. I didn't want that to ever happen again. My heart and wolf accepted that fact without any hesitation.She looked a mess but at least she was in way better shape than I was. Thankfully.She had a few bruises and cuts from the impact but it would heal soon thankfully. Her legs though were not all that okay. She had tons of gashes and cuts there and it made my heart wrench in pain, as I mentally slapped myself for not being able to prevent that too.She had stopped crying a while back and now she was looking down at me, her face filled with concern, and worry
Gianna's POVDarkness surrounded me and everything hurt. My whole body felt like it had been run through by a stampede till I was nothing but mush. I also felt wet. Not in the dirty sense but instead, I was actually wet.It felt like I had been soaked in cold water from head to toe and now my clothes clung uncomfortably to my body. Tiredly moving my fingers, I could feel that I was laying on some grainy surface. Sand perhaps. The type one could only find beside a body of water. I could also now hear it. The gentle and comforting sloshing of water from somewhere around me.Well I guess that explains the wetness. I groaned trying my best to open my eyelids but they just felt way too heavy and every movement I made was tiring. Exhausting like I had been drained of every little strength in my body. Unable to muster the energy to do anything except lay in utter darkness I let my mind drift off.Slowly, pieces of my memory began to drift back. The date. The attack. My fall. Bryant jumped af
After sprinting far into the woods, Nalia finally arrived at a clearing. She looked around to confirm if it was safe before taking her clothes off her body, and stashing it inside a gaping hole in one of the trees around.The whole time as she stripped, she squirmed uncomfortably as the fabric rubbing against her now sensitive skin just served to tease her all the more. She felt deeply unsatisfied after being left just at the edge but because she had her own morals, she refused to get off no matter what. The better choice was to distract herself as usual. There was no point harbouring delusional thoughts that she and Enzo could be more than just pack mate and pack leader. There were more eligible females for him to choose from, and she didn’t feel like she was good enough to compete for his attention anyway.After ensuring that her clothes would be safely out of sight, she walked further into the clearing and then closed her eyes.At first nothing happened but soon, one of her legs be
Nalia’s POVEverywhere around me was dark and blurry. I was laying down on an hard surface with no idea of where I was or what was going on. Soon a hazy silhouette with dark red eyes that burned with passion loomed over me. My heartbeat spiked as I gasped trying to inch back, but two strong hands landed at my sides, caging me in place.Panic clawed at my chest but despite that, heat pooled between my legs as my body reacted to that gaze. I parted my lips squirming from side to side with my legs clamped shut in an attempt to quench the ache that had begun to grow there.The figure leaned in closer and a familiar scent tickled at my nose. Soon the figure was close enough that I was able to clearly see the contours of his face. It was one that I had engraved in my heart. It was the one of the man I craved in my dreams, because I couldn't have him in the real world.I guess this was also one of those dreams, becasue he would never allow himself to hold me this close. I let out a sigh of
