INICIAR SESIĂNCHAPTER NINETEEN *** MEI'S POV *** "Absolutely the fuck not. I'm not wearing this, I change my mind." One thing I hate most in life is last minute changes. It disrupts the fuck out of my schedule and overall balance, but I can't wear this at all. I'm bloated all thanks to Borin who's been fucking feeding me only rice since I arrived. "Absolutely the fuck yes, Mei. You can't bail on this dress now. It's six fucking hours to the gala." Curtis says, as I walk over to the mirror and stare at my reflection. It's a beautiful black dress. Embroidered with silver beading. It complements my skin and goes effortlessly with my hair. But I can't wear it, and the reason is very evident as I stare at the big ball of what used to be my stomach. Ughâ "This is all your fault." I snap turning my eyes to glare daggers at Borin who's scrolling on his phone. Really? Scrolling right now? "Really dude?" I spit when I realise his attention is still on the phone. "Mm? What?" He says, finally l
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ***NOLAKAI'S POV *** Why?The once single question that has been lingering on my mind this past week.Why the fuck would my mate....Pardon.Mei, get engaged to the alpha of shadowcrest pack. It's all I've been able to think about this past week. As much as I've tried to let myself and Mei move on over the years, my mind has circled back to the big questionâ the apparent elephant in the room: Why? I exhale a deep breath as I relax into my seat. I do not have a logical answer to that question and it bothers me, more than it should. "You're still here dude?" JP asks as he enters the room, his scent immediately fills the room and I don't need a newsletter to tell he's been between the legs of a human woman. Great. Just great."I thought we had a deal to never bring your 'freshly fucked' scent anywhere near me." I shoot him a glare. It's already enough that I've never had sex. I don't need my brother reminding me every single fucking time."You can- you
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN*** MEI'S POV *** This guy is out of his fucking mind. Genuinely what the fuck? Just when I thought we might actually start getting along, he decides to pull of this stunt? I mean I know I'd eventually have to appear with him in public but I didn't think it'd happen so soon. Plus, we'd agreed to let each other know weeks before.This is taking me off guard and I don't like being caught off guard. "Stop looking at me like that. It's not going to happen, Borin." I emphasise his name to sell my point. There's potentially nothing stopping me from agreeing to this, but this is how boundaries start getting crossed. An agreement is an agreement. Thus, weeks before should mean fucking weeks before.He let's out a deep sigh, refusing to bat an eyelid. Of fucking course."I know. I should've mentioned it earlier." He begins, maintaining an almost unreadable expression. Almost, because if I weren't so giddy from the food I'd just eaten, I'd have assumed he actually fe
CHAPTER SIXTEEN***BORIN'S POV *** The scent of meat and sauce fills my nostrils immediately I exit my room. It's been over two hours since I retired for the night and for some reason, I can't seem to get some sleep which is unusual especially for me.All thanks to the raging little monster down below. And the stupid heat werewolves experience. Once again, I'm very much reminded of how I don't have a mate. Yet.It's never really bothered me, mostly because there's more important things to focus onâpack business and shitâand I'm usually too busy to dwell on it. But It's all I can think about. Right now.After making several attempts and failing to settle the little guy, I decided sneaking a mid night snack would probably sate this hunger.The scent gets stronger with every step I take down the hallway.Meat. Definitely meat.My stomach growls in response, and I roll my eyes. Apparently, my body has decided tonight is the perfect night to embarrass me. I make my way toward the ki
BONUS CHAPTER ***MEI'S POV*** One. Two. Three. Fourâ Fuck this. A deep sigh escapes my lips as I turn on my bed for what feels like the hundredth time tonight. I can't sleep. I can't fucking sleep and I hate it. I reach for my phone on the nightstand beside me. It's 1 : 43 am. Exactly six hours, twenty two minutes since I arrived the penthouse. After Curtis had brought me food, I'd taken a shower and lounged on the bed since then. At first I'd tried watching a movie, but quickly stopped when I realised it was a rom-com. I hate romantic tropes, because all they do is give false hope and given my current relationship status, I'd rather not give into any form of delusion. When watching a movie didn't work, I tried doom scrolling on social media, which also turned out pointless because I couldn't find anything intriguing enough to grab my attention. Now, I'm lying in a dark room, on an unfamiliar bed, counting imaginary sheep on the ceiling because I'd overheard mama tell
Hi everyone! Phoenix here đ I know updates have been quiet lately. I'm currently in the middle of a very demanding exam period in school, so most of my time has been going into studying. I haven't forgotten this story or you all. Thank you so much for your patience and support. Once my exams are over, I plan to get back to writing and continue the journey. See you soon, and thank you for sticking with me! Love, Phoenix.
