Destiny’s POVAlpha Theo’s jaw clenched so hard that I heard the slight grind of his teeth. For a terrifying moment, I thought he might lash out.I should bow my head for proof of my submission, right? To be sensible and smart. But at this point, I didn't want to be sensible. He hit a sore spot. It was only fair he felt what I felt.Something passed in his eyes, and I could see the anger in them withdrawing, but as he started to talk, a voice interrupted.“Alpha Theo? You have a visitor.”My head turned to see Maria who had a frown on her face. Her eyes were hard on me. I didn't miss the hing of jealousy in them. It intensified the tense atmosphere.Theo didn’t take his eyes off me even when I turned my gaze back to him, a brow raised. “Your presence is needed, Alpha,” I drawled.His jaw tightened when I said ‘alpha’, glaring at me.The silence stretched, thick and suffocating. Finally, he gave a curt nod to Maria, his gaze never leaving mine, as if he was giving me a silent warning.
Destiny’s POVTheo’s breath ghosted over my ear, and goosebumps immediately appeared on my arms. My heart was like a horse on a loose rein as he leaned a little more into my body.I briefly closed my eyes.What was he doing?His nose brushed my hair, then slowly trailed down to my neck, sending a shiver through me. I had to hold myself back from letting out a moan at the touch.His scent was stronger now that he was closer. It was so intoxicating that I was certain I could get drunk off it.I thought I had gotten enough until I felt his tongue on my most sensitive spot. I let out a small moan, my head slightly tilted back. I was sure my underwear was soaked now.“You taste so damn good, sunshine,” came his rumble mixed with a growl. He inhaled deeply and let out a groan. “You smell…” he took another sniff, “like mine.”A strange, consuming pull deep inside me, a warmth, spread through my stomach and lower. My body was reacting to his words and his closeness, even though I knew I should
Destiny’s POV“Answer the damn question, Sunshine.” He grunted as he lifted the dumbbell and lowered it. “Why do you only call me by my name when I’m between your legs?”I gritted my teeth and grabbed the skipping rope. “Why? Do you want me to stop calling you by your name? Is it disrespectful for a common breeder to do that, Alpha?” I said, sarcasm strong in my voice. I started to skip, wanting desperately to feel another thing other than the tingling of the flesh between my thighs.“I want you to always call me Theo.” He turned his gaze to me, watching as I jumped with a kind of emotion I couldn’t quite place in his eyes.I stopped, confused at what he said, blinking. “What?”“Always call me Theo.”It was just a fucking name, but tell me why my heart fluttered. A strange warmth spread through my chest. I managed to nod. He wanted me to call him by his name.A few seconds passed, and we stood there, our eyes locked on each other while my skin felt hot all over. It was as if his eyes
Destiny’s POV“Are you done?” Alpha Theo’s gruff voice sounded a few distances behind me.I turned to him slowly, my eyes glued to the ground, keeping my expression neutral.“I asked you a question. Are you done?” He repeated. I could feel his intense grey orbs on my face.When I raised my head, my eyes went wide at what I saw. He was covered in scars. Fresh claw marks. They were angry and red loke lines criss crossing over his shoulders and chest and…arms. Some looked deep, as if whoever did that really clawed into him. He wasn’t wearing any shirt. This was something that wasn’t there yesterday when we were both naked.Before I could think about what I was doing, my feet pulled me to him. “What on earth happened to you?”My hand went to the marks scattered all over his shoulder. They looked brutal, even if I knew he could heal fast as an alpha. They weren’t bleeding, but they were still vivid. As if he had been in a very angry fight.Where on earth did he go last night?He didn’t sa
Destiny’s POV The earth was cold underneath my body as I fell to the ground, my breath heavy, my chest heaving as I tried but failed to get to my feet. How could I when it seemed like my swollen belly was like a magnet to the earth. But it was the blood. The blood soaking my pants, the thick coppery smell in the air was the thing that sent me panicking. My baby. My child. No. I couldn't lose my baby. I would die. My hands shook as I brought my gaze to my stomach, fear walking down my spine that whatever was chasing me could smell the blood. Could smell my fear. Could feel my baby coming. And yet, as I looked back, I saw nothing. Everything seemed normal, none of the monsters that seemed like it had been chasing me since forever. Nothing. But just as I thought I could rest and try to figure out how to keep my baby alive, it appeared. I couldn't see its face. It wasn’t flesh and blood. Just darkness. Shivers skittered through my entire body and before I could react, it
Theo’s POVFucking hell.My teeth clenched together in an attempt to hold back the ached groan that was rising up in my chest.My pulse was like burning lava, the intensity of it akin to a heated needle pricking inside my skin.The curse. Of all the nights it chose to manifest, it was this night.One minute, I had felt like I knew what a glimpse of heaven would feel like as the last of my seed dropped from my dick, and the next moment, my flesh was burning as if I had been dipped in the fiery furnace of hell.When I finally thought that maybe I had a chance of making the woman I wanted want me back. When I believed I had the opportunity to feel what Rebecca had said I’d never feel. Love.As soon as I came down from the high that followed after seeing Destiny spread before me, her dark hair splayed on the bed like she was a dark angel of some sort, it hit me. Hard.Mate.Her scent had somehow heightened. I noticed every bead of sweat on her golden skin, every rise and fall of her chest
