LOGINRHONDAMalcolm strode toward me with precise steps and swept me into his arms. I wrapped my legs around his waist and looped my arms around his neck to support myself as giggles erupted from me.“I love you,” he groaned as he walked toward the bathroom, his lips connecting with mine.“I love you,” I moaned in response as our lips moved hungrily against each other.By the time we got to the bathroom, my heart was already racing. He placed me gently on my feet, then slowly removed my dress and flung it across the bathroom. He unclasped my bra effortlessly, and while he did that, I slipped my panties off.Turning the shower on, he let the water pour over us. The coldness rushed over my skin, cooling my body in a way I had not realized I needed. I closed my eyes for a second, letting the sensation settle over me, but before I could fully get over the sweetness the water brought, Malcolm grabbed my throat and pushed me against the wall.I gasped loudly, my lust-filled eyes boring into his.
RHONDAHe was bothered by something. I knew exactly what it was and why he refused to tell me. He didn’t want to hurt me.While he had been outside earlier with the warriors, his mother came to see me.At first, I thought she had simply come to check on me, but the tension written across her face immediately told me otherwise. She sat quietly beside me on the bed for a while before finally speaking.“The council called for a meeting,” she had said softly.I frowned. “A meeting? About what?”“They are not happy about Malcolm’s absence from the pack lately,” she muttered. “And…”“And?” I urged impatiently.Her expression tightened slightly before she finally continued.“They think the scandal surrounding you makes you unfit to become Luna.”Even now, remembering those words made my chest tighten painfully. I knew the tape had caused damage, but hearing that the entire council believed I was unworthy because of it hurt far more than I wanted to admit.Malcolm probably didn’t want to tell
MALCOLMAfter making sure Rhonda was settled in the pack house, I left to address the pack warriors. They had already assembled in front of the pack house by the time I arrived.“Good day, Alpha,” their voices chorused in unison.I ignored their greeting and began pacing slowly in front of them, my hands clasped behind my back. “Which of you released the prisoner?” I growled. “She couldn’t have escaped on her own. One of you must have been hired—possibly given a lot of money—to release her.”Silence.“I am not talking to dummies,” I snapped, stopping abruptly to glare at them. “I need answers. Talk!”They all stiffened immediately, fear evident in their expressions. I was rarely angry, and this was one of those very rare occasions. They all knew what happened whenever I lost my temper. I was merciless.“No one saw her escaping,” one of them finally managed to say.“Are you trying to tell me that she disappeared into thin air?” I growled.“No, Alpha. I…”“One of you must have released
RHONDATheodore stood in the doorway, concern written all over his face.“Theodore?” I called out in shock. “What are you doing here?”“I was around here when I learned about the fire accident,” Theodore muttered as he ventured further into the room.“How did you know that I was inside this hospital?” I asked curiously.“Uhm...” He hesitated briefly before continuing. “I was around the restaurant when I saw him,” he nodded towards Malcolm, who had a permanent frown plastered on his face, “jump into his car and drive off fast. I followed him. I lost him at some point because he was too fast, but I managed to locate the nearest hospital around, suspecting that you were here and that he was rushing to see you.”“Okay. So, why are you here? Get out!” Malcolm growled.“You have no right to tell me what to do!” Theodore retorted fiercely. “I came to see Rhonda, and you cannot send me out.”“Oh, yes, I can.”Malcolm started stepping towards Theodore, but I quickly grabbed his arm before the
MALCOLMRage blasted through my chest. Someone had helped them break out, and it had to be the one who had hired them in the first place. We needed to find them as soon as possible. They needed to pay for all the damages they had caused.“Check the surveillance cameras. Lead a search party to go find her. Search the entire pack, woods, and surrounding packs. We need to find her,” I groaned into the phone.“Yes, Alpha. I would lead the search party while we await your return,” he said.“I’ll not be back anytime soon. I have to stay with my mate at the hospital,” I groaned. “Make sure to try every means possible to find her. I’ll call you later.”If my suspicions were right, Layla had set the building on fire in an attempt to eliminate Rhonda. Layla had mentioned that she was being sponsored to kill Rhonda. It had to be those people who had sponsored her. They had tried to kill Rhonda again, creating a distraction in the middle of the chaos while rescuing Juliet and Julian at the same t
RHONDAThe door to the room burst open just a few minutes later, and Malcolm rushed inside. His pants were heavy as he came to stand beside me. Ivy and Isla rushed in moments later.“Ro...” Malcolm’s chest rose up and down as he scanned my body with his eyes. Pain was written in those eyes. “Are you okay? I’ll get you the best doctor to make sure you are fine.”“I have been properly treated here. That won’t be necessary,” I said with a sad smile on my lips. I reached for his hand and gave it a little squeeze. “I am fine. Really.”“Oh, thank goodness you are alive. I have bawled my eyes out,” Isla muttered, a stream of tears still rolling down her face.“Me too,” Ivy chimed in. She stood in one corner, her arms wrapped around herself. She seemed to still be in shock.“How did you get out of there? We never saw you come out,” Isla asked.Just then, Amos walked into the room. He paused for a moment when he saw the people in the room before continuing inside.I nodded towards him. “He sav
RHONDATheodore quickly tried to hold me up, but I jerked my hand away from his grip.“Get away from me!” I groaned.“Rhonda, you...” he started, but Ivy cut him off.“She didn’t stutter. Get the fuck away from her!” Ivy groaned as she stepped between us, glaring at Theodore.“Are you okay?” Isla a
MALCOLM“I am sorry I wasn’t there to protect you,” I told Rhonda, my eyes fixed on her. If only I was there, then that motherfucker would have lost all his teeth.After instructing the private investigator to hire men who would follow Theodore and Layla, I drove down to the hotel where I came to c
RHONDAI was shocked to see Malcolm Hitler, my childhood sweetheart, after so many years.His facial features were still the same, just older. His grey eyes were still as charming as ever. His jawline was still razor sharp. He looked handsome, despite the fact that he looked like he had just emerg
RHONDA“Theodore, do not go down this hole with me....”Theodore interrupted me, “else what?” Malcolm snatched the phone from my hand and groaned into it, “pray. Pray I never set my eyes on you again, else you will regret your entire existence. I will tear you apart from inside out. Of that, I
