“There’s something about Yaegar Gordon that bothers me,” Roy said into his phone after telling Hailey all about how his day was going, “He keeps talking about Bryan when I’m walking past. He keeps dropping hints that I don’t want to read too much into. If I do, I don’t know what would happen. I don’t want to think Bryan making love to any man but me. I know we are not together anymore and he’s not exactly mine but I can’t help it. I want him to be mine alone.”“It’s just your first day, Roy.” Hailey’s voice groaned through the phone’s speaker, “I know it’s hard but try to keep your feelings at bay until you know what’s happening that makes Bryan want to end your relationship.”“I hate the thought of Bryan with another person. Hate it so much that whenever I see Cassandra staring at him or touching him, I have this crazy urge to show them just how much he loves my touch.”“Okay eww.” She made fake retching noises, “You’re sounding like a lovesick fool and you know. This man is engaged
Roy slowly opened his eyes and realized he was alone in bed. He sat up and looked around the room, feeling empty and lost. He thought about everything Bryan had told him the night before about their shared parentage and felt a deep sadness wash over him. He knew it was the end of their romantic relationship, but he couldn't help but want to be near Bryan. He got out of bed and began to search the massive mansion for Bryan. He checked all the usual spots but he couldn't find him. As he was about to give up, he heard the sound of a piano coming from a room he had never been in before. Roy cautiously approached the door and peeked inside. There, he saw Bryan bent over a grand piano, playing a beautiful, melancholy piece that brought tears to his eyes. He watched Bryan play silently for a few moments, unsure of whether or not to interrupt him. As Bryan finished the piece and lifted his head, he caught sight of Roy standing at the door. Bryan was taken aback, but then he stood up and wal
Roy's voice trembled as he tried to defend himself. "It's not what you think," he stammered.Yaeger , a handsome but sneering man, fixed his cold gaze on Roy. "Yeah right. That’s what the guilty ones always say," he retorted, his tone laced with skepticism.Roy knew he was in trouble. He should have been worried about his own fate, but his mind kept drifting to how this situation would reflect on Bryan.After a few moments, Roy was escorted out of Mr. Gordon's office by security. As they walked past the other employees, Roy could feel their gazes burning into him. He was taken to the main hall, which was already filled with a large group of Lycans. They were all there, waiting for Mr. Nathan Gordon of the Moon Fury Pack to address the "theft".The tension in the air was thick, and Roy felt like he was in the middle of a storm. All eyes were on him as he walked up the round stage to stand amongst the other Lycans. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen next, as Mr. Gordon prepar
Roy’s eyes stung beneath the sunglasses he had on. Bryan hadn’t said a word to him since last night and he didn’t know if he was comfortable with that. It was beginning to dawn on him just how manipulate Bryan could be.He heard from Carpalia last night after Bryan dropped him off that he went to see a client which he didn’t believe. But should he really be interested in what Bryan was up to… they were blood-related.Although at the back of his mind, Roy still had doubts about that. His heart ached as he wondered if Bryan’s father… who’s allegedly his father had any plans to…talk to him or at least… acknowledge him. Again, he was stumped and was a dirty secret even to his birth father. The thought coupled with Bryan’s behavior made him break-down badly last night and cried himself to sleep.He’d also been having nightmares or memory flashes about a woman who played with a mini version of him. He had a lot of questions and he was determined to get answers someway. Even if it meant, goi
Roy sat alone on the rooftop of the company, his mind consumed with the pain of his relationship with Bryan. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching and turned to see Bryan’s mother, his stepmother literally, standing before him."May I join you?""Your Highness, what brings you here?" Roy asked, his voice heavy with sadness."I came to check on you, my dear." the queen replied with concern in her voice.The queen sat down in one of the chairs right across where Roy perched. "I wanted to apologize to you, Roy," she said, her voice trembling. "I'm so sorry for what's happened between you and Bryan. I know it's been hard for you both."Roy's eyes filled with tears as he looked away, ashamed of the feelings he still harbored for Bryan, his half-brother. "I'm fine, Your Highness. Please don't worry about me."But the queen could see through his facade and knew he was hurting. "Roy, please don't push me away. I care about you deeply and I want to help."Roy took a deep breath and finally
Roy’s heart felt a little less heavy by the time he arrived home, recalling with a soft smile, the stories Damien had told him about the Lycan Society. Although Damien was as striking as Bryan in terms of looks, they were literally the opposite sides of a coin. Damien was a lot less complicated and more vocal about his feelings and thoughts, unlike Bryan who bottled everything up.The smile on his face dimmed when he saw Bryan standing alone in the huge foyer of his home, the staff nowhere in sight.“Where have you been?”“Where have you been?”Ignoring Bryan, he called out to the butler and Carpalia but none of them answered. He whirled back to snap at Bryan, “Where’s everyone?”
Bryan clenched his jaw as his blood heated at the way Roy danced around his question. “I had them take the night off. A trip to ensure they do not witness what is about to happen. Now answer me, “ he gritted out,” Where the fuck have you been?” “Out.”Bryan’s jaw almost went slack in disbelief. He couldn’t come to terms with how relaxed Roy seemed. How dare he come to his house reeking of another man’s scent? That Andorra little pup had been with him throughout the day.He had seen it with his own two eyes, having been informed by the bodyguards he had assigned to follow Roy without her knowledge. It had taken every inch of his control not to storm onto the rooftop and drag Roy away.“With who?” Bryan finally snapped.Roy stared at him for a long moment, before sighing, “Clearly, you already know who I was with so why ask?”Bryan's eyes narrowed. “Oh, I don't know, maybe because I wanted to hear you say it. Maybe I wanted to hear you tell me how you've moved on so fucking quickly and
Next Chapter:Bryan's heart was pounding as he desperately tried to regain control of the car, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel. But Roy's sudden interference had thrown off his balance and the car swerved wildly, careening towards the massive tree."Bloody hell, Roy!" he swore, his voice filled with a mix of anger and fear. The car was hurtling towards the tree at breakneck speed, and he knew that if they collided, it would be a fatal crash. He would survive it and heal pretty quickly, but Roy…In a split-second decision, he shifted into his wolf form, feeling the transformation rippling through his body. The sudden shift gave him the strength and agility to yank Roy from the passenger seat and leap out of the car, just as it collided with the tree.The impact was deafening, the sound of metal crunching and glass shattering filling the air. The car crumpled like a tin can, smoke billowing from the wreckage as it skidded to a stop.Roy was in shock, his body
