Chapter 12

Before we go, I quickly read the contract Lucy gave me. As far as I can see, there are no strange things in there. After signing, I put it in my bag for tomorrow, otherwise, I will forget it anyway—stupid mom brain.

I stand in front of my closet, hesitating. I have no idea what to wear for this non-date date. Even though I've been pretty clear that I'm not ready to date again, I still find myself wanting to look good for him. Those thoughts are followed by guilt. My thoughts and feelings have been so contradictory lately. On the one hand, I think it's far too soon to even think about another relationship. I can't stop thinking about Brent. No one can compare with him. That no relationship will come close to what I had with him. That's not surprising, considering we were literally soulmates. On the other hand, I also think Brent would want me to move on. That he would want me to be happy and not let guilt hold me back.

An overwhelming feeling of grief washes over me. It's so

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 35

    Chapter 35The rest of the drive is relaxed. Ronan and Dex chat about the company, using terms I've never heard of.I enjoy the passing scenery as much as possible. Ronan wasn't kidding about Dex's driving style; Compared to Dex, Brent was driving calmly. I wait for the familiar pain that accompanies thoughts of Brent, but to my surprise, it doesn't come. Or, the pain isn't as bad as it used to be. Part of me feels guilty about that; it's only been so long. Then I think of Beth's words: he would have wanted me to move on with my life, to be happy. I glance at Dex out of the corner of my eye. I might not be completely happy yet, but Claire and I are well on our way. Of all the places in the world, we've ended up here, a place so welcoming, where people truly care about us.I have to remind myself that there's still a chance Dex won't accept me as his mate. If the meeting with this Alpha goes wrong, if he convinces Dex that having a human mate will have terrible consequences for their s

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 34

    Chapter 34He slowly steps closer, and I can't move. I'm ashamed to admit that it might turn me on a bit, and I'm curious about what might happen. I hold my breath as he closes the distance between us. He takes each step with precision, and an image of a predator stalking its prey comes to mind, which might be true in some way. When he's dangerously close, I take a few steps back. I tell myself I'm doing it to tease him, but God knows I don't trust myself right now. Not when he grabs me and does what he desperately wants to do. Not that I can read his mind, but the look in his eyes says it all. And those few steps back are my undoing. My back is against the wall, and I there is nowhere I can go. He smirks, as if he has me exactly where he wants me."I suppose this dress doesn't meet your expectations?" I finally say, finding my voice again. I meant to say it in a sweet, clueless way, but I stumble over my words, too nervous. "Oh, not right now." He's standing so close now that I have

    Chapter 33 - Lilly’s pov.I've just woken up to Claire's cheerful chatter when there's a knock on the door. The person on the other side of the door is rather impatient, because there's another knock, this time more urgent. "I'm coming!" I shout, slightly irritated. I don't know who it is, but he is lucky Claire's already awake. If they'd woken her, I'd be really pissed off."What?!" I hiss. "The Alpha is asking for you," Ronan says, ignoring my tone. "Oh, okay," I react, surprised, my anger instantly forgotten. "Right now, if you can," he says when I don't move to follow him. "Give me a minute to change into something presentable," I say, gesturing to myself in my nightgown."Oh, yeah. Of course. Sorry," he stammers. His cheeks flush, as if he's only just realized I'm wearing something that doesn't leave much to the imagination. He quickly looks away, and as I close the door to quickly get changed, I kick myself for not having thought about it myself when I opened the door.Once I'm

    Chapter 32 - Dex pov.From Lilly's room, I walk straight to my room. I need a cold shower.I've never had to control myself so much as I did just now. And I'm not just talking about the fact that I was on the edge of claiming Lilly. It was so hot to hear her moan my name. My cock was instantly hard. Ready to take her. It was the sexiest sound I've ever heard.If I hadn't known Bruce could come in at any moment, I don't know if I would have been able to hold myself back.Man, it took everything in me not to order him to get out.It certainly didn't make it any easier that I could see the disappointment on her face. She didn't say it, but I know she wanted something to happen. I saw it in her eyes.The cold water isn't working as I'd hoped. Every time, her moaning voice echoes in my head. I check if the bathroom door is locked before I take my hard, throbbing member in my hand. Desperate for release. I close my eyes, picturing Lilly in the bath. My name moaning from her lips. I start je

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 31

    Chapter 31"Bruce was supposed to take over, but he's been delayed. So you’re stuck with me for a little longer," Dex says as we walk back upstairs. "Oh, okay," I answer. I should be disappointed, but I don't mind. Claire almost falls asleep in my arms; I hope she'll sleep through the night in her new crib."I assume you don't want company?" Dex asks cautiously as we arrive at my room. I shake my head. "No, I need some space to process everything," I answer, somewhat guiltily. He nods. "But..." I say as he turns and starts to leave. "I wanted to ask you something." He looks at me, waiting for my question. Suddenly, I feel uncertain. "You can ask me anything," he says, encouraging me. "What happened earlier..." I begin, feeling myself blush. "Shouldn't the others have noticed?" I ask, avoiding his gaze. "Yes, and no," he answers with a smile in his voice."Because I'm an Alpha, my scent is more dominant and noticeable sooner. But since it took us some time to get back, it had already

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 30

    Chapter 30 - Lilly’s Pov.Dex may have convinced the others that he's taking most of the shifts so their work wouldn't suffer, but I don't believe it. It irritates me, but at the same time, it gives me a warm feeling inside. Which immediately triggers a pang of guilt. I know he wants to keep it quiet for now, but I don't know if I can. I hate having to lie to Bruce and Lucy.I can still feel his lips on mine. And it's a wonder Bruce hasn't noticed anything, or at least pretends not to. Shouldn't he somehow notice what happened between Dex and me earlier? Shouldn't he smell something of Dex's scent on me? At least, I thought their sense of smell was that advanced. But maybe that only happens with prolonged intimacy. I make a mental note to ask Dex about that later. I'd rather ask Bruce, but if he doesn't, it'll just look suspicious. And I really don't want to hurt him. Certainly not when it comes to Dex rejecting me, even though he doesn't want to.Dex has just sent everyone away when
