Chapter 83Ethan’s POVI woke to find Maria in front of her dressing mirror, she had just come out of the shower, her was still wet and she was running a brush through it, her blue see through robe clung to her wet skin and I felt my body immediately reacting to hers.I got up from the bed and pulled on my pants before walking over to her “Let me” I said as I took the brush from her and began running it through her thick long locks.She smiled at me through the mirror and I returned the smile, I noticed that the smile did not reach her eyes, I had noticed she had something on her mind even earlier but I had let it go.Once I was done with her hair, she smiled up at me and said “Thanks love” I returned the brush to her and then turned her chair to look at me, I knelt before her “What’s the matter? And don’t tell me nothing because I am sure you know I can tell when you have something on your mind” I said to her.“There is nothing wrong with me” she said as she avoided my eyes.“You ar

Maria’s POVI felt a gentle caress against my cheek, it was warm and sent a flurry of sensations all over my body, I nestled into the big hand with a smile on my face.“What time is it? Why are you awake already?” I said without opening my eyes.“It’s still early, not time for you to wake up yet” I heard an unfamiliar voice whisper against my ear.Despite not knowing who the voice belonged to, it sent shivers running up and down my spine but my eyes also fluttered open at once.I was met with a face that could have easily the Greek God’s statue to shame, he was beautiful, he had a perfect jaw line and well cut nose and he had a mouth that just begged to be kissed and then there were his eyes that looked like pure glistening honey, they had me running my tongue over my lips.I had no idea who this stranger was but he was making me feel wonderful, sinful things just by the way he was looking at me.“Who are you?” I managed to ask, though the breathless quality of my voice had the handso
Chapter 2Alexander’s POVA smile crossed my lips when Ethan mentioned me trying to kill our father, it had happened so long ago but the memory was still fresh in mind.“I assure you baby brother that my home will always be here whether you like it or not” I said and placed a hand on Ethan’s shoulder.I was sure I looked a shabby comparison to him dressed in my leather jacket and ripped jeans while he looked crisp and clean in tailored suit, some things definitely never changed.“I don’t care about your assurance Xander, I can not let you back here, you are a troublemaker and I refuse to allow you ruin everything I have achieved here, you do not belong here, you never have and you know it so just do everyone a favor and go back to whatever hole you crept out of” Ethan said as he took a step towards me, his eyes flashing dangerously, he had grown up a lot since the last time we had met.I smiled and took a step forward as well, we stood eye to eye “I am not really in the mood to anyone
Chapter 3Maria’s POVI woke up with a start, my body was covered in sweat and I was breathing heavily, I looked around and found that I was in my bedroom, Ethan was sleeping beside me, I brushed the hair that had fallen over my face to the side.I had been dreaming and what was weird was that I could not remember the detail of the dream I had just woken up from and exactly why my heart was thumping so hard in my chest.Taking a quick glance at Ethan, I realized he was still sound asleep, I realized it will take a while before I went back to sleep, so I got out of bed and grabbed my robe, perhaps if I got some air, I will much better and more relaxed.The house was usually quiet at this time, it was only the steady hum of invincible electric appliances that could be heard at this time of the night, I crossed the living room and passed through the kitchen and then out the back door, the moment the door was open, the cool night breeze kissed my cheeks and slightly ruffled my hair, a smi
Chapter 4Zara’s POVI was getting tired of waiting for him to arrive, he had promised he will be here by midnight but midnight had long passed, I knew I should not have let him go like that, something was bound to happen, he was not one of them and they will see right through him and I feared what they might do to him.Footsteps behind me pulled me from my thoughts and worry, turning around, I found Xavier, I turned my attention back to the road through which he was supposed to arrive.“You know you are stupid for waiting for him like this right?” Xavier said.I ignored him as I had always done when he started his hate speech about Xander.“He never belonged here from the start, pretty boy from a fancy background, he is back where he belongs now, what makes you think he will pay any attention to you anymore?” Xavier said.“Can you just shut the hell up Xavier, don’t you get tired of it? Always having one trash or the other to say about Xander, when it’s pretty obvious you are just je
Ethan’s POVBreakfast was normally a time of the day I enjoyed but today for some reason, I just wasn’t feeling it, perhaps it was because my annoying brother was seated beside me looking very languid as though he had not a single care in the world.“Do you always scowl this much during breakfast baby brother?” he said all of a sudden and I snapped.“Can you just shut up and eat your food Alexander?” I said angrily.A smirk spread across his face and he popped a piece of toast into his mouth “You are even grouchier than I remember but that is understandable, I am sure it could not have been easy living with just dad, it tends to put a strain on the mind” he said.“What right do you have to call him dad? You tried to kill him after all” I said, it was annoying how calm and relaxed he looked in this house after all we had been through because of him.“I have every right to call him what I want because as much as you all try to deny or hate it, the fact remains that I am a fucking Dupre
Alexander’s POVI could not understand the anger I felt at everyone so soon, I could not stand to spend another second in this house, the memories were doing their best to suffocate me and the current situation of the house was not helping either, so I grabbed my jacket and got the hell out of the house before I murdered someone in cold blood, preferably Ethan or perhaps his mouthy wife, I was not sure yet.I was not exactly sure in which direction I was going but I simply kept walking, enjoying a stroll and taking in the things around me, I had been born here, I grew up here and despite what many people would say, I had loved it here.My mother had been a lower ranked wolf in the pack, she was of no importance and barely ever noticed, she did her best in silence hoping her efforts might be rewarded some day.So of course when the great Alpha of the even greater crescent pack turned his attentions to her, the young woman was more than thrilled, she had never felt so alive in her entir
