CHAPTER FIVE
**************
BRINLEY.
Julia and I spent most of the day in town, and she helped me pick out new clothes. Julia couldn't understand why I had brought so few clothes with me, and I didn't tell her that was all I owned. Some things are better left in the past. Darkness had already fallen upon the kingdom by the time I showered and slipped on a pair of jeans and a yellow striped t-shirt with a v neck. I followed Julia's instructions and slipped out the kitchen's back door. After five minutes, I found the greenhouse. The pond I am supposed to meet Thomas is a mile through the woods after the greenhouse.
*************CHAPTER SIX*************BRINLEY.That unfamiliar feeling in my stomach ached when Thomas pulled me even closer. I had so much desire toward a man I barely knew, a man that wasn't so sure he was comfortable with my age. "What's your real name?" He whispered. "508," He shook his head, and his eyes fell on my lips. And I couldn't help but lick them. "Can I kiss you?" I nod. "I want to hear you give me your permission," "You have my permission, Thomas," Thomas brushed my face with his callused thumb. Thomas's lips softly brushed over mine, and a shiver made its way down my spine and settled between my thighs. My heart raced faster
**************CHAPTER SEVEN.**************BRINLEY.It felt like knives all over my body as I hit the water, but that was a rush. So much adrenaline was pumping through my veins. When I surfaced, Thomas was already above the water smiling at me as I came up. "Fun, huh." I couldn't help but giggle, "Yeah, it was." "I got a blanket sat out over there. Do you wanna talk for a while?" I nodded, "Okay," We both swam towards the shore, not bothering to get dressed, knowing we would be back in the water. "How many girls have you brought here?" "Girls?" Thomas chuckled, "I don't fuck girls, 508."
***************CHAPTER EIGHT***************BRINLEY."You're what?" Katie was smiling and nodding her head tears filled her eyes. "I'm pregnant," I hugged Katie softly, "I'm so happy for Katie," I was happy for her. Katie had always dreamt of being a mother, and I was delighted to see that dream come true. "What do your parents think?" Katie's dad was the shadow pack's doctor. Russel Moore. His mate Betty Moore is the teacher in the pack middle school. Very nice people, though I only met them once."I haven't told anyone yet. Only people that kno
***************CHAPTER NINE***************BRINLEY.I sold you.I sold you.I have sold you to another kingdom.Those were the only words I could hear repeating, repeatedly playing in my head. Panic rose in me, and I fidgetted with my fingers, something I do when I'm nervous or scared. "Kyle, please." He clenches his jaw, "What's done cannot be undone. The kingdom has already purchased you," "When?" My voice was barely aud
**************CHAPTER TEN**************BRINLEY.I excused myself, telling Julia I had to pee. What I needed was to splash some cold water on my warm cheeks. So I made my way through the hallway of the palace, following Julia's directions, of course. When I came to the door, Julia told me it would be the bathroom I walked in. I sighed with relief when it was indeed a bathroom. I walk over to the sink, wet my hands with cold water, and dab my cheeks. I still can't believe Thomas figured out it was me. And what was he even doing at The Kings Party? And the nerve of him always has a problem kissing me, touching me, but he doesn't
*****************CHAPTER ELEVEN*****************BRINLEY.It was pushing midnight when most of the guests started to leave. Some of the guests were staying in the guest rooms in the palace. Julia and the other girls stayed to clean up the mess from the party; they all agreed I'd been through enough and didn't have to help. Julia told me to go to the pond and see if Thomas would be there. I've been sitting on a blanket looking at the pond for over thirty minutes. Thomas still hadn't shown.Amanda and Gabriel were among the few guests that st
******************CHAPTER TWELVE.******************BRINLEY.It's been three days since the King's party. And things were getting back to normal. I don't know what Thomas said to Kyle, but Kyle told me the day after the party I was no longer going to the Mortaga Kingdom.He never said I could stay here, but I'm hoping Mrs. Bates changes his mind about that; after all, she helped me out with Gabriel. Unfortunately, I haven't got the chance to tell Thomas the good news. He hasn't come back to the pond since. No dou
********************CHAPTER THIRTEEN********************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
