Alexander's POVMy hands gripped her rounded hips as she towered over me on my bed. But I couldn't see her face. Her hands crept up my chest. Her lips almost touched mine when I finally saw her face.My scream was stuck in my throat as my body sat up from my bed. Some rays of sunlight were already making their way into my room. Still unable to speak, my eyes darted from my immaculate white walls to the tiled floor. My head ached and I was low-key annoyed.This had been happening since I left her in that room. I felt guilty sometimes. The mark I gave her would prevent her from having another mate.'That's because she shouldn't have another mate,' Lyall growled.Rolling my eyes, I got out of bed and took a minute to look at my tired frame in the mirror opposite my bed. I must have slept off in my work clothes. Just as I turned to head to the bathroom, I saw those hazel eyes again.Since I rejected Sydney, I was restless. There was no reason to since I barely even knew her. But everywher
Sydney's POVI put my foot where the tires should drive on and just as I thought, I saw it and didn't want to run my foot over."I have places to be," he snapped. As if I didn't have places to be as well."Why did you give me a lift?" I needed to know.He frowned. "You could have said you didn't want it before getting in my car then."That bastard! As if he and his annoyingly handsome driver didn't try to run me down.'So his driver is handsome?' Reika growled."Thank you," I said reluctantly. At least he saved me the many breaths I would have lost if I kept walking. Removing my foot, I watched them leave, partly annoyed that he didn't acknowledge my thanks and that I saw his driver as handsome.'I thought you were shunning men,' my bitchy wolf said. I wasn't even sure if she was teasing or just being her bitchy self.Jeffrey was waiting in the reception the moment I stepped in. His face was burning red. Oh no."Where have you been?" he fired at me once I was close enough. To be honest
SYDNEYMy phone's ringing alerted me about the time. It was very late. I pulled the device from my pocket and saw that it was Aunt Rosa that was calling me. I quickly wiped away my tears and cleared my throat so that my aunt would notice."Hey don't be mad at me I'll be home—" I was interrupted by a smaller voice, one that I was so damn sure that my sadist aunt would not have even if she got in an accident and had to do a surgery."I miss you a lot mom. When are you coming back?" Asher sounded as timid as usual."Oh my baby!" I had completely forgotten about them, and now I felt like a horrible mother. "I will be back home okay?" I cheered him up and I could only hear a whimper through the phone. I rose to my feet and headed in the direction of my house, but I had so many questions running through my mind.'With all these questions, will you find answers?' Reika's voice interrupted the train of thoughts.'I don't know if I will find the answers, but maybe you can help me out.' I stun
Sydney's POVOh my God.Oh my God.Oh my God!I rushed out of the car, panting. The car didn't hit the person but I couldn't see them nonetheless. What if I actually hit them? Oh, goddess Ciara.Getting to the front of the car, a woman was sitting on the road. I ran to help her up. Her purse and its contents were scattered all over the place. Helping her to her feet, I kept saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." She hissed as I helped her up. "Does it hurt?" I asked."Yeah. It's fine though," she said and smiled at me.Weird.I helped her into the car as my sons jumped out to gather her things for me. Thank goodness this was a lonely street so it was rarely busy. I argued that we needed to do something about her ankle but this woman refused over and over again. Instead, she agreed to follow me around so that I could watch her."Nick, Asher, it's good to see you two again," she smiled at my sons.What the…I placed her face the next second. It was the old lady from the coffee shop! "Oh m
Alexander's POV.What? I blinked rapidly to register who was in front of me, we both stared at each other breathless, trying to understand what we should do next. It was an awkward situation, but it baffled me a lot as to how she always knew where to find me."Hey I'm here bec—" she started but I didn't want to hear her complete the half ass reason,"No, you're not supposed to be here. How did you even find my address?" I closed the distance between us and felt the mate bond tug at my very soul, as much as I didn't want to get attracted it was very hard to do so."That's what I'm trying to explain, I—" "You're stalking aren't you?" I jumped to conclusions and it was irritating her. "Or you came here to steal something? I'm calling the police." I whipped my phone from my pocket hastily."Would you just—""Sydney!!" I heard mother scream and rush into her arms, engulfing her in a tight hug. My will to call the police had vanished as I saw her hold my Goddess given mate like she was a ch
Sydney's POVHow could he think of me like that? It was so uncalled for. Truth be told, he barely knew me, but thinking I wanted to hurt his mother was just extreme.'He is an alpha. What do you expect?' Reika said.'Can you be on my side for once? Just because you want him so bad doesn't give you a right to be unreasonable.''I am on your side. That's why I'm telling you all this. An alpha has numerous enemies so it's normal for him not to trust anyone,' she explained."I don't care. I just want to get home to Nick and Asher. Keep your explanations to yourself.'I knew I was being petty. But Reika had always been fond of making me look like the paranoid one, and it didn't start when we met Alexander.It was darker than usual. I closed later than I would have at the hotel. As the breeze scattered my hair, a smile etched itself into my face. Today was a nice one. And Mrs. Grayson was just a lovely person overall. I was kind of happy that I got fired. Otherwise, she wouldn't have offere
Sydney's POVMy mouth quivered in need, expecting a deep kiss. But all I got was a soft peck on my lips. I didn't even her the chance to be disappointed as his hands worked magic, slipping under my shirt unnoticed.My skin tingled as Alexander cupped my breast and my nipples hardened. His other hand traced lines to my waist then threatened to slip further down. I wanted it. But his palm never got there. He placed it behind my head and shoved me closer to him, attacking my lips with such ferocity, I almost collapsed.With every bite, suck and a battle of dominance between our tongues, I became more of a hot mess. My breaths quickened but I held onto him, not wanting the kiss to end. I gripped his loosely curled hair, almost fainting in the kiss.He tried to pull back but I kept him in place. Smirking against my lips, Alexander placed his hands on my hips and when I least expected it, he heaved me up, pressing his body closer to mine. I felt a few beads of sweat on his abs. So I wasn't
Sydney's POVThe heavily tiled wall of the kitchen stared back at me as I tried to control my anger. Sitting on a chair Mrs. Grayson got me with my head resting on the cold tiled wall, my temperature only went up. I felt like I was in a furnace.I closed my eyes forcefully in an attempt to push the tears back. They escape though narrowly. The tears that flowed through my closed lids made things feel better so I just stayed that way.Images of my sons appeared in my mind. Not surprising. Both of them with their loosely curled black hair — such handsome children. Nick was the noisy one, just any child would be. Always playing and seeking attention, my hazel-eyed son was the very helpful of the two, constantly asking if he could help me with things. His sharp jaw showed the promises of a gorgeous man in the future. He was also a little tall for his age.Asher, the younger twin, always seemed to follow his brother's lead when it came to mischief. Asher was the quiet one who only pointed t
