LOGINMarvel HalaAnd it was that comment that finally snapped me out of my denial. All flirtatious pretenses gone when faced with this line of thinking.Under no circumstances was that an appropriate thing to say, and it’d be an extremely inappropriate thing for him to do.You never shunned your mate for the touch of another, not if you intended to accept them. And if you didn’t, then the noble thing to do was to reject them immediately. You did not want to risk the bond strengthening before then, as it would only hurt more.Spending a night with another wolf, while you knew where your mate lay, was the ultimate form of disrespect. I was not interested in any wolf that would even joke about such a thing.Mating was meant to be something special and important. This was a gift from the Moon Goddess, and you shouldn’t take such a gift lightly.I quickly started pulling away from Alpha Harm, putting some much-needed space between us.I was about to let him know exactly what I thought of him, b
Marvel Hala“Thanks for the advice, Enzo,” Alpha Harm offered with a nod. “But I’m quite happy with my choice of date for the evening. I can’t imagine a more alluring she-wolf than the one I already have next to me.”I shot Enzo a sneer and stuck my tongue out at him. It was childish, I know. I’d literally just been saying how I’d grown up, but could you really blame me when he was behaving this way?I knew I should’ve acted more maturely. But I didn’t care for his attitude. If he didn’t find me attractive, then whatever, I’d find a way to get over it.But how dare he try to redirect my dates’ attention to another she-wolf. It would be one thing if Kiara were Harm’s mate. Then it’d be understandable to any wolf if he ditched me for her. Otherwise, it would be extremely rude to toss me aside for another in the middle of our impromptu date.And for Enzo to suggest otherwise was just completely inappropriate. Enzo always knew exactly how to get under my skin.“What about your mate?” Enzo
Marvel HalaDraped on Enzo’s arm was a bleach blonde woman wearing a fitted black cocktail dress with a plunging neckline. Her hair was up so that you could clearly see all of the skin that she’d left exposed. Her chest was pressed against Enzo’s arm as she clung to him for dear life, a fake smile plastered on her heavily made-up face.Cora, I internally growled.Cora was well known around the pack. She’d slept with almost every unmated male and, rumor had it, even a couple of mated ones.I knew her for a different reason, though; I knew her because we’d gone to school together and she had bullied every single female in that place. I couldn’t stand her.But that didn’t explain my overwhelming anger in that moment.I shouldn’t have been surprised that Enzo had brought a date to dinner. He often brought dates to pack functions.For some inexplicable reason, though, tonight I was enraged by it. I wanted to rip her arms away from him and threaten to break her hands if she ever touched him
Marvel HalaIt’d been a few weeks since my birthday, and I hadn’t caught another whiff of my mate anywhere. I’d gone out running, the same time, every single morning since.I’d hoped I would catch him out there again. But there’d been no sign of him. No scent on the air. No blur of an unknown form running through the underbrush. Nothing.I was beginning to seriously think that he really might be a rogue and perhaps he was just passing through when I scented him. If that was the case, it was probably better that we didn’t meet. I didn’t want to face a rejection, and I certainly did not want to go rogue.This way, we could simply forget the other one existed and move on with our lives. If we never saw each other, then it would never be a problem.“Marvel, sweetheart, are you in there?” my mother’s voice called from the other side of the door at the same time that a knock resounded.“Yeah, Mom, come on in.”The door swung open slowly, and my mother stepped inside. She scanned my room be
Marvel Hala“Well, I wanted to be here specifically for you, Marvel,” Daray stepped forward, offering me a playful wink.I giggled at him, brushing him off. Daray was a notorious flirt, and it was impossible to take him seriously.“Thanks, Daray. I appreciate it,” I said with a dismissive smile and a playful wink.“I’m serious, Marvel,” he whined like a child. “Come closer. We need to smell each other. You never know, you might just be lucky enough to be my mate,” he teased, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.Admittedly, Daray was good-looking, but I would pity his mate a bit. She was definitely going to have to put up with a bit of a wandering eye with him, and while I didn’t think he could act on it, that could be a hard pill for a lot of women to swallow.“Daray,” Enzo suddenly snarled, his voice sharp and his tone threatening.Everyone at the table stopped and stared at him, wondering what’d set him off again as he bared his teeth.But then, like a switch had been flipped, the lo
Marvel HalaAfter we’d taken a few drinks each and were beginning to slowly feel the effects of the alcohol, we decided it was time to dance.I led my friends to the dance floor, and we began to sway with the music. I was letting my slight buzz settle in, knowing that it would take a lot more to get me where I wanted to be for tonight.As a wolf, I had an incredibly high tolerance.Carl, a male I knew well, made his way over to me. He whispered happy birthday in my ear before placing his hands on either side of my hips and pulling me towards him, our bodies pressing together, the heat between us growing. I smiled as I began to grind myself against him, moving in rhythm with the beat.Carl wasn’t the sexiest male in the pack, but he was attractive enough with his short, curly blonde hair and his sympathetic eyes. He was well-built like most wolves were, though a little too bulky for my tastes. However, he would do…for now.Don’t judge me. I was a she-wolf in her prime.So, what if I in
