BRINLEY.
"Kiss me, Thomas,"
His silver orbs met mine, and I crumbled all the hope I had built up in thinking he would. "I can't," He says, heaving a heavy sigh. "Why not? You're my mate." I exclaimed. "You're seventeen." He speaks through clenched teeth.
"I don't care."
Thomas said nothing as he lifted us off the floor and pinned me to bed. His bun fell, releasing his long black h
**********************CHAPTER FOURTEEN**********************BRINLEY.The sunrise shone brightly through the window and into my eyes. I groaned, rolling over the ache between my legs, only a reminder that Thomas was even here and that what happened last night wasn't a dream.A hiss of pain left my lips as my feet hit the ground. Then, I decided to soak in 'No' Hot water. I opened the door to the bathroom and began to fill the tub with water.************
********************CHAPTER FIFTEEN********************BRINLEY.I cut all the sandwiches into bite sizes. I woke early to get all the preparation done for Katie's party. I baked pies and made a cake. Her cake is red velvet (Katies Favorite). I covered it with butter creme icing and decorated it with red roses.I made a chicken salad sandwich, Egg salad sandwich, and tuna salad sandwich. I also made some hot wings, veggies, and ranch dip.I wanted to make Katie's party memorable because
*******************CHAPTER SIXTEEN*******************BRINLEY.I couldn't place the look on Thomas's face. Or should I say, Xander? I cannot believe he has lied to me. No wonder he didn't want anyone to know I was his mate. He was ashamed of me like I had thought all this time, and he never once tried to tell me the truth.I can't believe this.How could I have been so stupid? I told him I loved him, thinking I knew him, but I was wrong.
***********************CHAPTER SEVENTEEN***********************BRINLEY."I never meant to hurt you. I've tried to think of a different way and keep you here. But I didn't want to cause you any more pain than I already have." Xander says."Why did you lie to me? You told me your name was Thomas. I believed you. And you let me, not once did you tell me you were the Alpha King," He furrowed his brows, "I never lied. My name is Xander Thomas. And being with you, I felt like I could be me and not the king."
********************CHAPTER EIGHTEEN********************BRINLEY.Knox truly has a fantastic kingdom. I've been here for two weeks now, and I love it. Knox introduced me to his mate Lucy after I arrived, and she's sweet, funny, and loves to joke and tease. She suits Knox well. Given that they have different personalities, you wouldn't think they should be together, but somehow they complement perfectly.I've tried texting Xander he never answers. He doesn't answer my calls either. I'm not sure why he felt the need to get me a phone if he
*********************CHAPTER NINETEEN*********************BRINLEY.It's been a week since my visit with Dr. Gram. I've been working up the nerve to tell Xander about the baby. But I'm not sure how he will react to the news. There is only one way to find out for sure.I grab my phone from the nightstand with trembling hands. I dial Xander's number. I've tried to call him before, and he never answered. But, of course, he probably won't now, being 3:00 am.The
******************* CHAPTER TWENTY ******************* BRINLEY. The kitchen door flew open, and Xander strutted in. My breath hitched at his sight, and suddenly I was scared to tell him of the baby. Xander looked like he always did with his long black hair, bright silver eyes, and five a clock shadow. The way his jaw clenched and unclenched was hot as hell, and I found myself gawking at every perfect of his profound body. The way his shirt strained against his muscles and his jeans tight around his thick thighs.
***********************CHAPTER TWENTY ONE***********************BRINLEY.(TWO MONTHS LATER)I haven't seen or talked to Xander since our fight two months ago, as hard as it was. Xander hasn't tried to contact me either, so it's fair to say we're both upset. Xander telling me he didn't love me hurt, hurt like hell. My heart breaks every time I picture his face that day.My belly has grown round, still not full-blown, but enough to tell that I'm pregnant. An
