MasukESTELLENothing could have ever prepared me for Castiel’s response. He was a doctor?How come I didn't know that? How many people knew that?He turned away from me like he didn't just drop a living bombshell on me. Rolling up his sleeves to his elbows, he began to mix some liquids I didn't recognize. I tried not to think of how his veins protrude through his skin and his muscle rippled. Putting aside everything between us, Castiel was dangerously and deliciously handsome. Everything about him screamed luxury, hot and sexy. My traitorous mind replayed the night we spent together and I quickly called myself back to order. I shouldn’t be admiring the man who has been set on rejecting me, especially when someone was on the verge of death. Glancing back at the little girl, my heart constricted in my chest once again. Gosh, she was so young. Too young to be going through this alone. I almost teared up at the paleness of her skin and how weak she looked. She was fighting for dear life. I
CASTIEL’S POV“She’s bold.” Eminence noted. “I like her.” A soft smirk played on his lips as he shook his head at whatever it was he was thinking. I cast a glare at him, letting out a scoff. It has been five days since the occurrence and she was yet to reach out. I hated how apprehensive I was feeling. I hadn't even expected her to accept the job. In fact, I didn't want her to accept it but since she knew the extent of the matter, I had no choice but to mindlink Eminence to accepting her proposal. “You know we aren't looking for just any healer, Eminence. We are looking for that particular healer lineage.” I reminded him, emphasising on that lineage. He gave me a knowing look, nodding in agreement. “But it won't hurt to see what she can do, you know.”I gave a hum of agreement as I returned to the files I was working on. She was to meet us today and since I woke up in the morning, I have been feeling agitated. I summed it up to the fact that I didn't want anything to do with her b
ESTELLE’S POV“Mommy!” Maverick’s voice blared through the phone and a smile spread on my lips instantly as I slipped the t-shirt on. Slumping on the bed, I stared at their happy faces. They both tried to fit into the screen but Malachi was pushing forward. “Mommy, ask Malachi to move back! I want to see you too!”“No, I was the one who called her! I must see her face!”I let out a chuckle as I shook my head at their banter. “Stop it. Both of you can keep your heads together without fighting.” I said, trying to mediate between them but as usual, they didn't listen. They kept struggling against each other. I was about to call for the person I had kept them with when a voice called me urgently from outside my room. “Doctor!” Instantly, I jerked to my feet and rushed to open the door. “What is it?”“The Alpha. He is—”My eyes went wide. “Darius? What happened to him?” I followed him immediately. “Some sort of man bit him by the neck and he slumped immediately.” The guard informed as
ESTELLE’S POVThe moon goddess must be playing a prank on me right now. Darius came to drag me away from the pack members I was discussing with, saying he needed to introduce me to someone. I didn't know that person was… him? Castiel?From his rigid posture, I knew he was as shocked as I was. My heart skipped as we locked gaze. He looked every bit of the man he was years ago. Just that his muscles have built up and there was this sharp and intense glint to his eyes. “You?” I flicked my gaze to the owner of the voice. I remembered him. The royal Beta. The one who had stood as he watched his Alpha King reject his kids.Rage replaced the shock on my face as I clenched my fist tight. My eyes dropped to the lady hanging by Castiel’s arm, hating the stupid, burning jealousy streaming through me. She tilted her head to the side, her siren eyes narrowing into slits as she watched me with interest. Darius who was oblivious to what was going on, spoke up. “Alpha King, this is Dr. Estelle. Sh
CASTIEL’S POV“This suits you better, Cas.” Kira slurred, her manicured fingers disappearing through the open space of my shirt to caress my bare chest. My eyes dropped to her red-glossed lips, the scent of her arousal heavy in the air, almost choking. My dick twitched as something primal shook violently in my chest. I might not want her but that doesn't mean that I won’t fuck her like the whore that she was. I caught her hand, turned her around, and slammed her against the table before us, some of the containers fell to the ground with a thud. She let out a whimper, looking at me through the mirror before us. I pulled up the satin gown she was wearing to expose her bare ass. She was wearing no panties. Always ready for me. I spanked her hard across her ass cheeks. She let out a cry, jutting her ass forward for me. I continued the assault, still pinning her against the desk. Refusing the soothe the ache of my spanking, I dragged my fingers to her core, finding her all wet and slic
Four Years Later…ESTELLE’S POV“Ma’am, we have arrived.” The driver informed me from the front seat and I nodded, looking at the pack house through the window. It has been what? Four years since I left and never looked back. Since I was humiliated for carrying the children of a cold-hearted beast. Packed my things and never thought of coming back.Brielle had tried to stop me from leaving. Darius had made several promises even to the extent of making me a matron at the hospital but I refused everything. I didn't want to stay anymore. There was no reason to stay. I needed to start again and I didn't think I could stay.I left the pack house for the city. City where I started afresh and anew. With my boys. Malachi and Maverick. Their birth had been a whirlwind and had brought so much joy to me. They were my world and the reason I was living. A small smile curled on my lips as I remembered the last kiss they placed on my cheeks before I left them. I told them I was visiting an old
