My hand gripped the towel anxiously as Alex took another step forward, and I took another one back, only to hit the wall. He closed the distance between us, and I – lo and behold – whimpered. “I’d never hurt you, love,” he said gruffly, his eyes taking me in hungrily before settling on my face again. “I just want to make a few things clear.” I nodded, wondering why he had to get into my personal space to talk, but loving the way he invaded it nonetheless. I gulped down my dread and looked him in the eyes, as if to urge the man to go on and be done already. With the knuckles of his right hand, he caressed my cheek. I drew in a sharp breath. “I’ll be straightforward, Jade. I hate seeing you around Eli and Tyler, acting so cozy, so casual.” “They’re my friends,” I told him in a tone that didn’t come out as firm as I would have wanted it. “They’re horny unmated wolves,” he countered immediately. I wanted to tell him that he, too, was a horny unmated wolf, but didn’t dare to point o
After Alex pleasured me like there was no tomorrow, he straightened up and put himself back together. I could not believe I was barely a step away from having him take my v card though we both resisted the urge. I was just glad, however, that my parents were still on duty for my moans would have surely been hard to explain.His eyes were oh so soft on me, and I almost deluded myself into believing there was something special between us. But I wasn’t an idiot. I knew that I was just the plaything of the month. I knew that no matter our chemistry, I shouldn’t fall for him… only my crush for the man was so much more than just a crush nowadays. And I feared for my heart. I was utterly scared of the heartbreak to come.As I slipped on a night gown, he bent forward and placed a soft kiss on my lips.“Kindly behave from now on, love. I’d hate to have to take over my knees and spank you in front of your friends.”I whimpered and throbbed with need at that, and he merely smirked in response. A
It was Friday afternoon, a few hours before the Moon Ball. Tyler and I had just finished sparring and were headed to the packhouse when a convoy reached it. One flamboyant red sports car stood out among the black SUV.Soon enough, Alex and his parents were at the door of the packhouse, welcoming the guests in.The door of the sports car opened at long last, revealing a curvy brunette who could not be a day older than twenty. She wore her hair long and had sparkling baby blue eyes.A few quick steps and she was flinging herself at Alex who sidestepped just in time, thus making her stumble.Another stalker, I thought to myself with a snort.“Xander,” she whined, much like a child who had been denied candy.“Myra,” he greeted her coolly.And then, he avoided her touch as if it burnt him. But she was much too persistent and decided to glue herself to his side.I rolled my eyes inwardly as Tyler and I made our way into the pack house. Alex had been busy and we had barely interacted at all
Having made no female friends at this new pack, I could only rely on mom to do my make-up for me after I had styled my long hair in ringlets. When I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my usually dull brown eyes looked almost like deep molten chocolate. I was wearing comfortable golden sandals. As per my agreement with mom, I would not be forced into high heels just for a damned irrelevant ball. The dress, though I hated to admit it, was exquisite. The upper half of it looked much like a corset, crème in color, and it had the knack to make my breasts look bigger than they really were. From the waist down to my ankles, the dress flowed into beautiful cascades of gold. In my opinion, I truly looked seductive. And I couldn’t help but wonder how alpha dearest would react. Just the thought of him drove me wild with need. I was beyond desperate for a touch. It had been too long. But I shall fight this chemistry I had with the alpha. I was sure I was nothing special to him. I should the
I could barely wrap my head around the fact that I had blurted out my feelings to Alex in a moment of weakness. The man pushed all my buttons and I ended up making a fool of myself. I followed him into the packhouse, up the stairs, and was only mildly surprised when we didn’t stop at the second floor, where my room was. Instead, we went to the fifth floor – the alpha’s floor. He led me through a hallway, and we only stopped at a wooden door that seemed to divide the floor in two sections. “This is my personal wing,” he announced matter-of-factly. He opened the door and I found myself staring at a spacious living room that was elegantly decorated. No sooner had he closed the door did we hear heels clinking on the floor. I stiffened at once and saw from the corner of my eyes that Alex sported a scowl. I heard her scathing remark before I even saw her, “Did you really have to entertain that child all night long, Xander?” I knew Myra must be talking about me. Who else had he had glu
“While I do care for you greatly, love, I’m not one to take well to provocation,” he let out half huskily half angrily as he regarded me with a passion-filled stare. I watched with rapt attention as he removed his tie and opened a few buttons of his dress shirt.“I didn’t mean to anger you, Alex,” I told him meekly.He nodded at me. “I believe you. That being said, you still earned yourself a spanking.”I whimpered in response, not knowing what to say to him, to appease him. “I…” I stammered on the words. “I don’t care for Parker.”His eyes flashed black for a second before he growled out at me, “You better not.”And then, he sat on the edge of the bed and told me matter-of-factly as he patted his lap, “Get out of that dress and then get over here, little one.”I whimpered again but quickly obliged him. Seeing as the dress didn’t allow for a bra, I was soon enough in nothing but my panties. I did my best to cover my breasts and then laid on his lap, my flushed face against the bed, my
Denying jade was the most difficult thing I had to do. Waking up next to her, however, was the best feeling ever. She was so beautiful, I felt blessed to be her mate. But naturally, I wasn’t whipped just because of her looks. She was such a kind and compassionate woman, that it definitely made her perfect luna material.While I realized rather late that she had not managed to befriend many pack members, I was sure that with what happened during the moon ball, it would prove even more difficult for her. I just hoped she wouldn’t hate me for it. I loved her with every fiber of my being, and it took a lot of willpower on my part to hold back. I didn’t want to scare her away, only choosing to show her the passion I had for her.Needless to say, with my wolf threatening to take over and claim her at any given moment, I was cautiously threading on dangerous territory.I trailed my knuckles across her cheek lovingly and then left the bed. It just wouldn’t do for her to wake up and find me st
The breakfast Alex roped me into attending was rather unpleasant. It lacked spontaneity with all the decorum between the alphas. And then, there was Myra of course. She naturally ogled his bare chest and I almost growled out loud at her. I had to drink juice to keep myself from acting like a possessive mate – which I wasn’t.It almost felt as if no amount of humiliation would make her stay away from Alex. She even went as far as to request to extend her stay by a week. He shot her request down immediately. And for that, I was glad.On another note, I was rather surprised by his parents’ reaction – or lack of – to my being by his side. I was expecting more of a resistance, some bullying too. But then again, we had an audience, so maybe they were just waiting for the right opportunity to do so. I was after all wolfless for all intents and purposes, and he was an alpha. Surely, such a match wouldn’t sit well with them.And because of this insecurity I harbored, I was positively terrified
