LOGIN“I want to believe that everyone is happy about our engagement,” Athena began as she entered the gym.
Body glistening with sweat, Kincaid gave the punching bag before him another lunging punch before turning to her.
“Your Majesty,” he greeted with a slight bow.
Then he began to unwind the leather he had wrapped around his knuckles.
Without looking at her, he said, “Everyone is happy about your engagement. Congratulations, Your Majesty.”
Athena tucked her hands into her trouser pockets and leaned back against the door, raising a brow. “Everyone but you?”
He raised his head at that. “I am happy about your engagement,” he co
“This place is no longer… Safe, Sonia. It's…it's just not right anymore. Let's leave here. We can go any other place you want. Up north? East? Anywhere. If you choose, I will agree with you.”Sonia's voice bristled when she responded, “And if I want to stay here?”“Sonia…”“I want to stay here,” she continued without waiting for the refusal she already heard in Kamara's tone. “I know I can't remember much, and I have no idea where we were coming from apart from what you told me. I don't know why I suddenly told you I had to leave Paree before we got into the accident. You believe I was afraid of something. Maybe even running from someone. But the fact remains that I can't remember any of that. I rely on you for memories I might never get back. And maybe that's why it hurts when I feel that there are things you are holding back from me. Important things.”“Sonia…”“You don't have to tell me until you want to. I am not forcing you to say it. So give me the same courtesy by not asking me
A low chuckle rumbled through the man's chest as he said lightly, “Really? You are commanding me now?”Kamara did not back down this time as she replied, “I will not repeat myself. Stay the fuck away from her!”The smile on the man's face was laced with something that made Sonia's pulse race. He was not flinching against the glare of light bathing him. His eyes did not move from Kamara, yet Sonia could feel his presence all around.She was beginning to think his laid-back posture was more dangerous than Kamara's aggressive stance.“Kamara,” Sonia called lightly, trying to take her attention away from the man. Though she felt the shift in Kamara's attention, her cousin did not take her eyes off the man.“I don't… I don't think he is a bad man. He stood up to a…creep earlier. He was just about to explain why he was following me when you arrived,” Sonia explained hurriedly, trying to inject anything that could diffuse the tension she did not understand.He smiled lazily as he raised a
“You shouldn't see me,” he whispered, with a hint of curiosity in his tone. Yet she could hear him clearly.“Uhn? What do you mean I shouldn't see you?” Sonia said as she placed her hand against her belly protectively. “You were acting all suspicious, following me like I owe you something,” she added testily, squinting when he walked past the flare of light and kept coming towards her as his face got swallowed up by the shadows again.She had the instinct of stepping back as he got closer, yet she straightened and stood up to him while wondering if her belly would allow her to give him a swift kick in the groin.“What is this about?” she asked as sternly as her breathy voice would allow.“You shouldn't hear me,” he said softly. A hint of steel underlay his tone, like that of a man used to command and domination.Sonia’s nose was filled with his musky scent. But there was something else underneath it. A scent. Something disturbing that made her lightheaded as it pulled hard at someth
Sonia tensed and forced her legs to keep moving, despite the instinct to whip her head around to check who could be walking so stealthily behind her.Devon had been pretty safe since she and Kamara started living there.The neighbours were nice and not intrusive.Her cousin had made extra certain of that by getting them a house that was away from the crowded part of Devon.For a while, she had successfully kept Sonia at home, reasoning that she was too close to giving birth for her to be working.“Uncle Jamie would be very disappointed in me if I let you work. Just focus on the babies and your health. I will handle the rest.”Sonia had allowed the pampering for a while because she felt it seemed so important to Kamara to… serve her.Plus, she had been reeling from the discovery that she was carrying triplets.Triplets who would soon depend on her for everything they should get from both parents.Despite Kamara’s reassurance, she had been down for over a week after they left the hospit
In Devon“Easy there, momma. You look ready to pop!” a man hooted as the heavily pregnant lady approached them with a tray of their order.“Larry! Cut it out. That's rude,” the lady beside him chided.“What?” He looked at her innocently. “I am just stating the fact here. What might be considered rude, especially since I am with you, is if I say she is smokingly hot even with that belly. Damn, do you see that shade of hair? Hottest redhead I have ever seen!”“Fuck you!” the brunette in a leather jacket said with a glare, just as the waitress placed their order of chicken wings and chips with ketchup on the table.“Here you go,” she smiled beatifically, like the comment did not bother her at all.“Oops, my intrusive thoughts won again,” the guy said as he smacked his mouth with his lips.“No,” the lady jerked out of her chair, metal scraping against hardwood as she said, “You are just a jerk! I am outta here.” She slapped some bills on the table, looked at the waitress apologetically an
“What a tasteless couple! One is a fraud. The other is rash!” Alpha snapped as soon as the pack members left.“Oh, give it a rest,” Alpha Rohan said with a hint of steel under his bored tone. “You insulted the alpha-consort’s mate. You insulted our queen. Forget about the allegations for a moment; insulting our reigning queen is like insulting everyone in the kingdom, including all of us here. If Alpha Raymond had not taken you on, do not be surprised if others do.”For once, Alpha Kane did not snap back at his long-term rival.For a moment, he looked almost uncertain as he glanced at Raymond’s stormy face.Still, he shrugged and said defiantly, “But she might not be. She might not be our queen after all!” he bellowed.“Still, it does not change the fact that you insulted his Luna, Alpha,” Alpha Ryan interrupted. “Her Majesty is not just the queen of this kingdom; she is Moonvale’s alpha and Silvergate’s Luna. You of all people should know what insulting her meant. I do not think Alph
