เข้าสู่ระบบYuri’s pov:
As per usual, playing the damsel in distress card, Aurora whined through the phone, “Leo, there are so many reporters… I don’t know what to do.”
“I am nearby. I will be with you shortly,” he let out in his usual concerned voice – the one he kept for her.
Leo’s pov: The dance was a masked one, and by some miracle Yuri decided to put the dress I got for her. I heaved a sigh of utter relief as my eyes took her in. She truly was a sight for sore eyes, and I couldn’t help the urge to dampen my lips… And heavens did it feel good to look at her with open desire and wanton abandon. The dress hugged her in all the right places, and was even a tad bit snug on her in the chest area… An unbidden image came to my mind, delicious, forbidden, and absurdly arousing at the same time – an image of Yuri round with my pup and heir. One of the female she-wolves looked at me, and I wondered what she saw to make her narrow her eyes before averting them for some reason. Were they waiting for some better looking man? or just for someone who’d be willing to join and indulge them the way they believed they deserved? I was wearing a black suit – ain’t no going wrong with black – and my tie was the same shade of green as Yuri’s dress… if that didn’t tell al
Leo’s pov: The elders had been insufferable as of late, more than usual, but I couldn’t bring myself to care, throwing myself into work. Now more than ever, I needed to avoid Aurora, and clear my head of the little vixen I had for a mate. Yuri’s addictive scent was all I could think about, even during my most important meetings. Her luscious lips and hungry kisses were haunting me, troubling me, and making me painfully aware of the effect she had on me – without even trying, mind you. She might not know it – and heavens forbid she actually did – but she had me wrapped around her little finger. Yuri could make me or break me. That was a fact. My obsession with her began before the mate bond snapped into place. I could barely remember that night a few weeks ago, but the memory of her pliant body, of her inviting heat, was enough to drive me nuts. “Alpha Leo?” James probed, and I snapped back to the present time. “Meeting adjourned,” I let out in my usual detached voice. The manag
Yuri’s pov: My heat had faded away into a low hum. My body refused to acknowledge the fact that its carnal desires weren’t fulfilled. My mind, on the other hand, was jubilant… Indeed, if Leo could keep his hands to himself, then that meant he wasn’t as interested in pursuing me as he claimed he did. Returning to my everyday life came with flashbacks – of fleeting touches, sensal caresses, and passionate kisses – and I wasn’t sure I hated it to be fair, even if said flashbacks often left me breathless. There was no beating the mate bond. There was no reasoning with my wolf either. The entity was far too enamored to possibly see reason. That didn’t mean I would go down without a fight. I had no intention of giving up. Leo Phillips might be trying too hard to be charming, but he wasn’t less of a jerk for it. He had caused the death of Violet, and I knew I wasn’t meant to forgive him. Sure, that was another era, another lifetime… But that had been my reality still, and there was no
Yuri’s pov:Before long, Leo stepped away, saying, “You should make haste. I need to go back.” The moment of possible intimacy, which could have been so beautiful and beyond intense, was forever lost, and it was all on me. Back where? To your precious Aurora? I wanted to bite out, only I didn’t have the right to. Mate or not, I wasn’t the one he held in his heart, and at the end of the day that was what truly mattered – whom he truly favored. I tried to act nonchalant, and didn’t hesitate to reach out for the nearby towel. Never turning to face him, I wrapped it around my body, and I was soon leaving the bathroom wordlessly. My heat might have not been planned, but the clothes he had prepared for me were. They fit snugly but not uncomfortably so. They made me feel empowered, stronger, more alluring even. I looked up the brand on Goo*gle, wishing and praying it was affordable so I could pay him back, and I was immediately appalled. The amounts on display were literally insane.
Yuri’s pov: The water felt beyond soothing on my skin. It was so good, I almost moaned in delight. There was no denying how I started to relax under the hot water cascading down my back. I couldn’t help but think about my heat; how I had been downright provocative, and far too needy for my own good… And in comparison, my mate, the very male who was supposed to fill me up to the brim with him – my heat inevitably made him want to make me pregnant – barely did the strict minimum. By doing so, by denying me what my body craved in more ways than one, what my instincts told me to do, he had prolonged my heat more than it had to. Usually, she-wolves went into heat monthly for a day, after meeting their mates, once they had shifted that was… and rumors had it that sex could be incredible then, more so than the first time which could be just as memorable. Lost in thoughts and memories, I failed to notice the door of the bathroom open. I didn’t notice the shift in the air. Even the way my
Leo’s pov: It took every last ounce of will power I possessed to stop each damn time. By the time Yuri was no longer in heat, I was on the verge of going into a rut myself.Heavens have mercy, what was this woman doing to me? 2 cold showers after our near argument, and I was no closer than earlier to getting her sexy moans out of my head. There was no denying the fact that our situation was messed up. We were the very definition of a situationship, only I was starting to come to terms with my desire to be more to her than just someone she slept with, a mate she’d rather have nothing to do with. A quick glance to my phone told me everything I already knew – Aurora was going ballistic wondering where I disappeared to. Naturally, because of Yuri’s heat, I didn’t leave her side… not for anyone – not even the pack. The elders and Beta Rodney had had to handle the affairs in my 3 days off. Although I had spared Aurora, temporarily, because she was pregnant – and the baby might be mine
Yuri’s pov:Truth be told, I wasn’t surprised that Leo wasn’t stopping at any of the red lights, much less caring about which speed he was going at. But then again, he control
Yuri’s pov:“Let’s get you patched up,” Leo let out softly, and I was almost taken aback for a moment there.
Yuri’s pov:I woke up to mom’s weeping. Her hand held mine tenderly, as if she was afraid I might break. I felt like a train had run me over, and wondered for a split-second what had land
Yuri’s pov:I wasn’t sure how I managed to think straight, with the rush of adrenaline, and my heartbeat thudding wildly, and despite the pain in my temples… and yet, s
