Enya pov
Waking up to the scent of a hospital is starting to get on my nerves. Too often, I scrunch my nose at the heavy stench of medicines and cleaning supplies. Opening my eyes, I take in my surroundings. I have a couple of heavy-looking machines and cables attached to my arms. I'm alone, and there's no sign of any medical personnel nearby. I can use this opportunity to get the hell out of this damn place. I'm tired of hanging around wolves- all they try to do is kill me in a way that takes suspicion off them. A true warrior would kill me in the arena or on the battlefield, but these creatures have no honour. First the basil, and then I start coughing up blood? Something tells me they have given me something; it must be them. Father was right. I shouldn't give in and pretend to feel something- no feelings means no attachment.
My gaz
Vincent pov When the nurse mind-linked me and told me that Enya had woken up, I was ready to tear the whole pack to pieces to get to her. But when she told me that the human girl was sitting against the wall like a scared cub and wouldn't let anyone but Aros and me near her, something inside me snapped. I've never felt so threatened in my life as I did at that moment. I ran like a madman down the stairs and towards the hospital. As I got closer to the room, I knew something had changed. Out of nowhere, I noticed a delicious smell that drew me closer and closer. The growl escaped my lips before I could stop it. It was not until I was in her room that I understood where the scent was coming from- Enya. Now that there was no wolfsbane in her system, her scent changed, but at the same time, she seemed weaker than ever. Her face was pale, and even from a distance, I could see that she wouldn't be able
Vincent povSitting down and admitting my feelings feels surreal. I'm not the man to talk about such things, especially when I look like a whole mess. I don't let anyone, especially Aros, see me when I appear weak or broken. As an Alpha, I have to be on top of everything, yet I feel like I'm breaking in half since Enya came along. There are two sides of me now, and each wants something completely different. The Alpha wants answers, and Vincent wants to experience happiness, even if it's only for a ridiculously short time.I hate this human part of me that is still far too naive to understand that there is no happy ending for me. I'm caught up in the idea of having a mate because it's been eleven years since I should have met her or him. I wouldn't care if the Moon Goddess would pair me up with a man, as long as we loved and respected each other as equals.
Enya pov The nap did me good, that's for sure. I feel like a whole new, much stronger person. Whatever those shifter doctors did to me, they must be miracle workers because I've never felt as good as I do today. I take my time stretching my limbs and breathing in the scent that surrounds me. I have no idea what kind of perfume Vincent uses, but it's the best I have come across so far. It's a blend of leather, coffee, and musk, and while I never thought it would work- it does. Perfectly. I'll have to ask him what it is or find the fragrance bottle and buy it when I get home. I'm a creep, and I'm not ashamed of it because I'm going to spray my bedsheets with it and enjoy the scent to the fullest. Home. I miss it. I miss the people, and I miss my father. But I hate that I feel like I'm on cloud nine while I lay in Vincent's bed, knowing that my father is out looking fo
Vincent pov I've made many mistakes in my life, and some of them I can't forgive myself for. But everything I do today feels so right. Even if it's a mistake in a few days, weeks, or months, I will cherish the memories I have made. No matter how hard I try to remind myself who Enya is, I don't feel like she will ever be a mistake. She couldn't be at all. Calling her my mate feels better than anything I've ever said. I know the odds are fifty-fifty. No one knows until the day comes. But unfortunately, I know how I feel, and if I found out she wasn't actually my mate, I'd be disappointed. It's funny how so little time with her has changed so many of my thoughts. Before her, I hated them all with passion. As I threw that asshat against the wall, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time- pride i
Enya povI stare at Vincent, and all I can do is blink. Blink like an idiot trying to process important information but can't understand anything, no matter how hard I try. "Us," he said. Has there ever been such a thing as us? As a joke, perhaps, as a way to get rid of his weirdly obsessive step-sister, definitely. But in private? Has there ever been anything like that? Has either of us ever shown any real feelings or interest in each other? And I mean genuine interest, flirting, and all those things people do when they are into someone. He kissed me to prove a point. That snake Angela or her daughter probably sneaks past the bedroom door, and that's why Vincent kissed me as soon as we stepped into his bedroom.I'm so confused; I don't know what to say or what the appropriate response should be. Did he mean it? Or is this another joke? My eyes sear
Vincent pov I've never tried so hard to make anyone believe in my words. Everything I said, I mean it. Sure, I could do my best to stay away from her and act like a fucking asshole towards her, but I couldn't sleep or live with myself every time I tried to do that. The look on her face kept running through my mind, and no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, it kept coming back. At the end of the day, I know I have feelings for her, and I can't deny those. Enya was right when she said we were enemies. We shouldn't be together. But even though I've tried to push that thought away, I've managed to develop feelings for someone who's supposed to be my prey. I'm the predator, and she should be my victim, the one who falls from my claws. But I can't do that. I can't hurt her and pretend I don't care.
Vincent povI smile at the shock on Angela's face. It's been a while since I last saw her lose her temper, and each time it's been more than amusing. I enjoy watching this woman seethe with rage and grit her teeth, especially when she has no control over the situation that made her angry. And right now, she can’t do a thing, because I am the one making the decisions. She's welcome to try and give me advice, not that I'll ever listen, but Angela can't do anything when it comes to my love life. I'm going to fuck whoever I want. And it definitely won't be her daughter. After all, I'm in a serious, committed relationship now.She stomps her feet on the hardwood floor and glares at me. "You're planning on letting this human carry your pups? Have you lost your mind? Vincent, my son, please reconsider! This is beyond outrageous. She has brainwashed y
Enya povMy cheeks burn; I feel like all the blood running through my body will end up in my face. I hide behind Vincent as the shirt is rolled up, and I don't want anyone here to see me half-naked. Besides, something tells me way too many shifters would ask me about my scars. And that's not a topic I want to talk to anyone about; if anything, I'd rather forget the fact and keep hiding it. The Alliance has always said that scars make a man look like a real man, but they have never mentioned women. I believe that scars don't make me beautiful; they are a part of my journey- the ugly, vicious and inhuman journey. They are a constant reminder of what I have done, of the horrible crimes I committed.I think Vincent realises how uncomfortable I am, so he doesn't budge. "Aros, can you do me a favour and leave my office for a few minutes? I'll let
