He apologized. He gave me the explanation. I should be satisfied and I should forgive him. but the thing is I never blamed him.
“You will not tell me again if I ask you where we are heading right?” I asked and he chuckled deeply. Suddenly he drove the car away from the highway towards the barren road and I looked at him suspiciously.
“Is this the time when you are going to kill me and bury me somewhere.” I tried to joke but with him I can’t say anything. He is so… unpredictable.
“Oh god, now you knew my plan.” He said and looked at me smiling. He is joking, phew.
We drove and I know where he was taking me, I have visited this place just a month ago. The no-man’s land. But why he was taking me here?
He stopped the car when we covered the considerable distance and I was sure there was no sign of human settlements. He opened the door and stretched
Esma’s pov “Thank you for tonight Reed. I enjoyed a lot and I mean it.” I said as we were heading back to our pack. Reed smiled at me once before looking at the road again. He looked so much adorable when he concentrated, he didn’t notice but whenever he is deep in thoughts, he bit his lip and this make me bothered for some unknown reason. As if in cue, he looked in my direction and caught me staring at him and smiled his slow sexy smile which could melt the coldest of the hearts. “Me too.” He said after a pause. “I don’t remember when I enjoyed this much last time.” He said and pulled my hand over his mouth and placed a brief kiss over it. We were still an hour ride away from my pack so I switched on the radio. He looked at me challengingly and I raised my eye-brows in the same manner. I quickly adjusted it to my favorite radio station and the lyrics of Beyoncé filled the car. es
We drove past the last checkpoint before our pack and I could feel something was not right. My wolf was anxious and restless. She was not like her usual self and this make me more nervous. I tried to reach her but she didn’t say anything. “What happened?” Reed asked seeing my expressions. He also looked anxious but tried not to show it on the surface. “I don’t know something is off.” I said and as soon the words escaped my lips something hits our wind shield of the car. Reed turned the steering wheel so fast our car lost the balance and topples several times before hitting a large tree. It happened so fast, one minute we were driving on the road and in the next we were hit by the tree alongside the road. My ears rings like someone had put them near the thousand bells. I tried to concentrate on my surrounding before everything settles in my head. “Reed?” I asked lowly. I tried to move and turned so that I could see where he was but it was like the whol
I stepped out from my closet in Pjs. Diana left shortly after she was fully assured that I was okay, she was acting more worried and concerned and for a strange reason, I am feeling like she was not telling me the whole truth. She had done it before, when she didn’t tell me about Reed’s past. Reed was already waiting for me in my bed wearing August’s spare clothes, although they were tight for him, he looked so cute in his clothes. For a moment I felt self-conscious under his fervent gaze, he studied me from head to toe and my stomach dips in anticipation. His eyes darkened as I make my way to the bed. Although he was sitting calmly, there was a storm brewing inside him. his racing heart was the proof that I was responsible to have this kind of effect on him. He was sitting in the bed patiently for me to join him. I bit my lip and walked along the edge of the bed. His eyes never left mine and just when I reached my side of the bed, he pulled my hand so fast t
Next day, I woke up early in the morning only to find myself alone. Reed had gone, his scent was faded and weak but I could still feel him near me.I quickly went to bathroom and finished my business. Today, I felt different, not just physically but emotionally. My wolf was now very much contained and pleased as her moral task to claim her mate was accomplished.Yesterday morning, he make me drink his blood, tying me with himself and by today, he was marked by me. We were progressing with the remarkable speed; I wonder if we could stay till tomorrow without mating. I shuddered at the thought.I quickly freshen up and walked downstairs to greet everyone. I have already have enough of those witches. The blood moon had passed and all I get from them were threats and cheap shots behind my back. I will not risk neither my mate’s nor my pack’s life.It’s time to show everyone who I really am.&ldquo
“I don’t need your support boy, I can walk.” My father grumbled as August helped him walking inside the home. He looked extremely pale and sick but didn’t budge a little, even when he couldn’t walk without the support.“Arnold.” My mother scolded him as he tried his best to push August away from him. I chuckled lowly and my mother narrowed her eyes at me.August eyes danced with humour as well, I know he missed his scolding more than his grumpy face. His eyes meet mine and they twinkled more.“Dad, show some respect to the alpha.” He said in fake seriousness and almost laughed on the word Alpha. As if in cue, our father pushed him away and his eyes started searching the room until they are finally settled on me.“Ouuu… dad, for a guy in a coma almost a year, you are not bad and definitely not weak.” August muttered lowly rubbing his hand where he got hit. Diana was by his side in sec
“Now Diana, tell me did you see something new or strange?” I asked hopefully. As soon as I was free from my father’s questioners, I quickly take Diana with me. For some reason, my inner conscience was telling me that it was not witches who attacked us, my last encounter with Hecate was nothing suspicious or something weird I could put my finger on.My instinct was telling me it was something more dangerous and somethingdarker. Diana was the only one who could help me in this. Reed could also help but I doubted he will stay as soon as he remembered something or connect the dots.He likes to work alone and with the past months’ experience I was pretty sure he will die rather involving me in something, which compromise my safety.“No, nothing, I saw your vision in pieces. It started a week ago since you met Hecate.” She concluded my inner fears. I knew it, that encounter of mine with Hecate… it was all perfe
“You have to be more specific when telling the directions.” I said reaching the same cliff where I first met her, few days ago. So much have happened since then.I have seen Reed’s past, his life, his struggles and his curse. We were marked now. We were officially mates now. I knew she was already here as I could sense her. she was hiding in the woods. But this time she was alone.“I don’t want unwanted arrivals.” Hecate said emerging from the woods. Her eyes were the first thing that capture my attention whenever we meet. They were still purple and I sighed in relief internally. Her gaze collided with me and for some reason I could sense her smile.“You have seen it haven’t you?” she asked. I tried my best to look smug and obvious but I know she was a witch and probably seen it before meeting me here.“Why did you send the human on my territory? And that to severely injured. You could send me th
I woke up as the sun shined down at my face from the window. My eyes blinking the harshness of the bright sun away and trying to focus. Reed’s arms were wrapped around me. His hands clutching my waist, keeping my bottom close to his and his other hand under my head acting as a pillow. His scent surrounded me. I admired his features. He is so sexy in his sleep. I gently put my hand on his wrist and as slowly as carefully I could, tried to lift and remove it. I had succeeded halfway when his hand grabbed mine and turned me over, pulling down underneath himself and climbing on top of me. I gasped in surprise, barely managing to hold my scream. “What?” I whispered as my eyes widened and shot up to look at his beautiful face. “Why did you wake me up?” Reed growled in a sleepy voice and dropped his face in my neck, leaving a trail of kisses from the blade of my shoulder to the insides of my neck. I twitched instantly, the ticklish feeling of
