FEYREI smile awkwardly and move out of Damien’s hold, not for anything but because I liked the way he was holding me, a little too much if I’m being honest.“Shall we?” he motions, that boyish smile lighting his face. I feel my cheeks heat and it takes everything in me to not bring my hand up and try to rub at the skin to clear it.“Sure,” I found my voice.“After you,” he winks and I get in step beside him. We walk for a minute in silence before Damien speaks again. “How does it feel being away from your pack? I don’t presume it has been easy.”I shrug my shoulders, thinking of what to say. I haven’t given it much thought yet since it is not as though I’m doing anything, then there is that voice in my head that keeps reminding me that all of this is for a month. Knowing it is not permanent makes it easier for me to cope. Since I can’t exactly tell him that, I go for the next best option. The half-truth.“Right now, I can’t really tell.” He nods for me to go on. “I haven’t started an
ALPHA ZADEI’ve been in a shitty mood since I woke up, only to go to the kitchen and find out she gave out my peanut butter and jam. Like that is not enough to ruin my morning, my father had to come and start spewing shit like he usually does. The conversation ended with me slamming the door in his face and walking out. I know it sound like a teenage girl throwing a tantrum but they are all just so fucking frustrating and they make me want to pull my hair out.“You don’t look happy,” Dylan comments unnecessarily when he sees me walking to my car.The weather is a bit warm and it would be nice to go for a run, let my wolf out in the wild, he has been on edge and that would be great help but I have things to do this morning. I didn’t have time to talk to Damien last night since he insisted he was tired from traveling and couldn’t talk about work.Like the private jet he had me fund so it could be easier for him didn’t offer much comfort. He also had the energy to flirt with every woman
FEYREDylan and I don’t make it to three steps before his alpha’s imposing presence fills the small place, crowding it with all of his negative energy and large body. The place quieted down almost immediately and seeing that, the effect he has on people, how he commands them with just his presence, without having to use his words. It is both hot and unsettling.“Heading out?” he asks his beta but his eyes remain on mine. There is a violent energy surging there and I swear thunderstorms have looked calmer.I resist the urge to grab Dylan’s hand and beg him to stay here with me, there is no doubt I’ll be dead if I’m left with this man only.“Yes, I don’t think anything would interest the luna here.” Dylan’s voice is so professional it makes me rethink their friendship. I definitely do not talk to my best friend like that, alpha or not.But it is good, the longer they stand here talking like they belong in a black and white British sitcom, the easier it would be for me to sneak out and r
ALPHA ZADEI thought I did a good job of keeping my temper at bay after I saw Feyre in the club. I’d told Damien to mess with her, not this. For whatever reason he thought this was a good idea is beyond me and as soon as I leave her, I’m going to find him to fucking deal with hm. What the hell was he thinking?Maybe you should check why you had him do it in the first place? I wave the voice off in my head. Her entire presence in this pack is messing with me and I want her out, I just can’t be very obvious with it but I doubt I have been subtle about my dislike for her.Seeing how clueless she had been about all that is going on around her, it made me see her innocence. At least in that department and damn if it didn’t make me hard because I wanted to be the one to ruin her. That though, is beside the point. I needed to get her out of there, she wouldn’t listen and I’d gone for the easiest thing possible, throwing her off my shoulders.She had held up quite good because honestly I’d ex
FEYRE“You’re doing great, luna.” I perk up when I hear Dylan’s voice. He waves at me, a broad smile on his face.“Here you go,” I hand the last cookie to the five year old girl missing her two front teeth. I didn’t ask how she was going to eat it, just her smile made my day.“Thank you, luna.” She gave me a toothless grin then ran off to stand beside the woman I assumed was her mother..I dust my hands on the kitchen towel before adjusting my blouse then I head toward Dylan who was standing by the bench in the playground. I feel a little giddy as I go up to meet him, it is not because of his presence but because today went so much better than expected.Delilah, who is an angel, told me the best way to get with the women of the pack is by getting through to their children first, making them like me. It is simple human math, you make someone’s kid like you and talk about you, their parents also warm up to you. I took her advice and decided to bake them cookies with Gertrude’s help of c
FEYREI ball my hands into tights fists and bite my lips, forcing my feet to stay in place and not swivel to face Alpha Zade like I know they want to. My eyes meet with Dylan’s and there is humor dancing in his, his mouth twitches as he tries to keep his smile at bay.Thank God my heart is cooperating though. I haven’t seen him in days and this surprise appearance would have thrown me off.“Do you have anywhere else to go?” the question is not directed at me so I don’t bother replying or even acknowledging his presence. He wins if he gets a reaction from me.I keep repeating it to stop myself from just giving in and facing him. In truth, a part of me wants to, there is this really crazy part of my brain that wants to just see him. I tell myself it is because I want to see how miserable he looks but I know that is a lie, I’m not even going to try and think of why I actually want to see him.“No,” Dylan finally replies, looking over my shoulder.My breath catches in my throat when I fee
ALPHA ZADEI always thought I had a good grasp of my control, but after being pushed to the wall one too many times by this woman, I am starting to see I’m pretty much a mere mortal like anyone else and that pisses the hell out of me.She tries to squirm but it is of no use, I let her have her fun and she should have known it wouldn’t last.“Let go of me you fucking brute,” she spits through gritted teeth and I roll my eyes. She is not even trying.“Fight harder,” I reply, sounding as bored as ever.She growled lowly, the sound gravelly and sexy but I know she is not aiming for the latter. Something sharp nips at the skin of my neck and the metallic smell of blood surrounds us. She broke skin.I still don’t move back. I mirror her hold on me, wrapping my hand around her neck. Her mouth opens and she lets out a choked sound. Images that should never associate with her flips through my mind, I push them away as soon as they come and with one last push against the hard surface, I release
FEYREI am angry. No, I am beyond livid.It takes every ounce of my self-control to stop myself from sneaking into Alpha Zade’s room and destroying things until I feel some of the anger leave me. I choose the higher road and instead take a cold shower. It works very well for anger and I would highly recommend it.I don’t feel as okay as I would have liked after but it is better than nothing.It is almost dinner time by the time I gather enough courage to leave my room and join the rest of the pack members for dinner. I need to speak with Alpha Lucien about his son. If the past few days are anything to go by then I can’t last that month here. It is barely up to a week here and I want to pull my hair out, and his too. This can’t be good for me.Every interaction brings out a side of me I didn’t even know existed. She is angry and very destructive. It reminds me of my younger self and I’m not really very happy about that.“Woah there, a storm is brewing and it is inside.” A voice says in
