Sinful Mates A Tale of Blood
CORAI stopped in front of the fountain, my chest heaving. My head spun with everything I had just learned, everything I had so unknowingly entangled myself with. My chest heaved, and I stopped, my bag falling in front of me.Slowly, I followed it to the ground, tears filling my eyes, blurring the images in front of me. My chest swelled with even more tears, and I brought my shaky hands to my forehead, my fingers burying in the tiny strands around my hair line."What have I done?" I asked myself. I don't remember how many times I have asked that question, how many times I have regretted everything I have done so far. My choices. My aims. I just couldn't bring myself to believe that the twist of fate written for me is threatening to make me regret my mate bond too."Funny, huh?" Keanne's voice floated back into my mind, and I closed my eyes, my lips quivering. "But they did say that everything comes with a price. For me, my power came with this. For you...the fact that you are not sla
Sinful Mates The Times I Haven't Been Brave Enough
Alpha Blake was mixing coffee in the open kitchen when I walked in, and I stopped, my eyes wide ad I took in his image. He was in casual wear, a small crease in his brows. I just realized that I had never seen him go to work.He didn't look up to me till he was done, then slowly removed the cup, his eyes lifting to me."What are you doing?"I swallowed hard, my eyes unable to leave him. I tried to fit him into Keanne's story, my eyes fitting him into the man who had seen his wife destroy herself for his love, then ended up hating her. It was unfair, and maybe I understand why Keanne still sided with his mother.Because after that little girl and Keanne himself, she was the most innocent in all of this.I swallowed hard and took a few steps back as he started to walk towards me, and he raised a small brow."Weird. I thought you were waiting for me."I swallowed again, then raked my hands through my hair, pushing the strands back into a ponytail that was more or less nonexistent by now
Sinful Mates The Woman
KEANNEI watched the door she had left open on her way out, my eyes thin. Maybe that is what I wanted. Maybe all this time I had been too hesitant to force her to stay with me because I knew she would not be able to handle it. Once she saw what I am, once she knew me for what my scars hold, she would run. Just like now.I smiled a little, then walked to the door, gently closing it. My hand stayed on the cold metal, and my eyes closed, my body weakening. I did wonder if she had seen how scared I actually was. I wondered if she saw me flinch, if she saw how hard I was trying to get drunk because I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep without it tonight.I leaned on the door, my eyes closed, my body weakening. I could barely still hold myself up, and I slowly let myself fall to the floor.I brought my knees to myself, and my hands wrapped around me, my eyes wide. I could see the little five year old from over two decades ago, the one that had gone under his bed, his knees close to him, his h
Sinful Mates I Don't Want To Let Go
CORAI turned to the glass window, my eyes wide. It was a starless night, and the moon was only left to a very slim crescent. I swallowed, feeling tears well up in my eyes.I wondered what Keanne had done after I had left. What he had felt. How he had looked. I wondered if he would want to see me again, if he would want to continue with this mate bond. If he wanted to look at me the same way.I know I may be asking too much from a mate bond I had done absolutely nothing to preserve, but I hoped when morning came and I go to that office, he would look at me as tenderly as he had when hr had thought I was asleep.That look had only made me even greedier, making me wonder howbhr would look at me when I actually stood by him. Making me wonder how it would be to be the only woman in his life. The woman he took to his bed. The woman he took to the shower. The woman whose forehead he leaned on the side of the bed to kiss. The woman whose body his fingers studied like braille.I closed my eye
Sinful Mates Shallow People, Deep Waters
KEANNEMy eyes closed as the water pelted down on me, the sold seeping into my skin. I let my lips part, as everything inside of me stung. My heart stung, my fingers too.I needed to sleep. Needed to forget. I needed to leave to where all of this wouldn't matter. To where it could all fade away. I sighed, then brought my hands to my hair, then pushed it back. My fingers reached for the shower and I turned it off, but stood there, my eyes still closed.I needed to run. But how can you run from something you are? How can I run from my very own existence?I swallowed, then grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist, then walked out of the shower.CORAI turned to him once he emerged, my eyes wide. His hair fell back, but a few unruly strands fell in front of his face, darkening his eyes under the strandy shadows. I swallowed, blinking a little.I remember I never got to have this view, since the first time I got close, it didn't happen, and I didn't see hinnfor a year after that.Rig
Sinful Mates The Morning After Euphoria
CORAI smiled, my chest heaving lightly as his hands wrapped around my waist and brought me close. His scent filled me up, and I moved even closer, ad we fell into some sort of invisible dance."Is this...the prime lake thing?"He raised a brow. "I am pretty sure you wanted to kiss there.""Mhm," I said, laughing.He shook his head. "Unfortunately for you, I don't intend to kiss you."My brows furrowed, and I stepped away, standing on the pool, my hair sticking to my neck and face, my hands coming up to my waist."Why?"He looked at me, then sighed as he moved as at, then sat on the edge once more. "I don't know. Choice? Or maybe I need to be convinced. I can't tell yet."My brows cleared up, and I nodded an understanding. Something felt funny. A man like Keanne wanted reassurance from me. He wanted to believe that he was wanted by me, and it was crazy.It was, however a powerful feeling. The sort that gave me the guts to do what I did next.I moved slowly away from where I was, then
Sinful Mates Oblivion
We soon got to the mansion, and Keanne drew in a long breath, his eyes thinning as he watched the mansion. "I hate this place."I laughed. "Me too. But well...this is home.""I have felt helpless so many times, but not quite as bad as right now."I turned to him, then slowly moved, my finger reaching up to my forehead. He sighed and leaned further, then kissed my forehead. I smiled, as he leaned away, then came back, his kips brushing mine, efficiently knocking the breath out of me.Fuck me, I love the frequency."You...call me if he raises a finger at you. He doesn't stand a chance.""I know. I know."He nodded, his thumb running smoothly against my cheeks. He placed the smallest kiss on the corner of my lips, then moved away. I smiled at him, then moved away from him and turned to the door."Cora."I turned to him, and he swallowed, hidvhabf tightening around mine. Have I mentioned how much I loved it when hr was possessive? I felt like we have spent so long trying to navigate this
Sinful Mates What You Deserve
My eyes opened slowly, my chest heaving slowly. The lids felt heavy, and I gave a low moan, my hand starting to move to my forehead.I couldn't move my hand however, as it was carefully sandwiched in another. I turned slowly. Keanne was sitting by my side, his head resting on the side of the bed, my hand carefully held in both of his."Keanne?" My voice felt different, sounded different, a lot weaker.I closed my eyes tight, then turned to him once more. He was stirring, his brows creased, and he slowly looked up to me."Keanne."He watched me for the longest time, his eyes blank, before he slowly lowered them. "You...you lied to me."I closed my eyes tight. "Keanne.""You said I didn't need to come there. You said you would be fine. That you would call me. You said all of those and then you end up...like this? Battered? Bruised? You end like..."He trailed off, anger seeping into his voice, his hands shaking lightly. "How could you do this to me? What if I didn't come there? What of
