LOGINNovel’s POV
“How do you want it, Novel?” he whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
“I don't know... I have never done it before,” I stuttered.
He didn't respond with words, but with his mouth, which found its way to my neck. My knees grew weak, and I almost fell, but he held my waist firm as he nibbled my neck.
“Ahh,” I moaned.
“That's a good girl,” he continued as he sucked and bit my neck.
I was so wet and could feel it. He slid his finger under my pants.
“Ahh!” I cried.
He put one finger in, and I moaned in ecstasy. “Ahh!” He pulled it out, and when I was about to question him, he put it in again. He continued at a slow pace.
“Faster, please!” I cried out.
“Say my name while I fuck you with my fingers, Novel. This is a little punishment. Would you be a good girl?”
I nodded, and he pressed harder.
“Ahh, Alexei! Please, faster!”
He was about to go faster when I heard a beeping sound. It sounded like my alarm. Wait, what was going on?
“Alexei, can you…” I stopped halfway because he was no longer there, and the beeping sound was too much.
“Stoppppp!” I jolted awake, and the first thing I did was throw my alarm clock on the floor.
“Ughhh,” I groaned. “I hate Mondays.”
Why? Because Mondays of sophomore year are chaos.
I hurriedly took a bath and wore a blue tank top and high-waist jeans. I put on a little bit of makeup. I couldn't look like an ugly bitch who didn't sleep well because she was almost disvirgined in her dreams. I paired my outfit with black Mary Jane heels not too high, when I say heels.
I took a cab, and when I arrived at the school, I hurried to the worst class of all and it's compulsory, I can't even drop it: Media Ethics and Law. The lecturer is Mr. Maxwell, an old man in his fifties. He has this bald head, and he dresses like it's the 90s. He loves money; well, everybody loves money, but he's the worst.
I took a seat at the front, as usual. “I love Mondays.” (I don't, but the front seat is only open on Mondays).
“Ahem, settle down, class,” Mr. Maxwell said with his usual expression that says, “I don't care; do what you want.” How did he expect the class to be organized?
“I think you all may want to listen to this,” Mr. Maxwell said, then continued, “Your seniors will be joining you guys as of today, so take notes from them.” He said this, then left the hall.
This is so absurd. Everybody scrambled out for their next class. You must have noticed I don't have friends, and you are right I don't. I'm just some lonely…
“Watch where you're going,” a girl said, taking me out of my thoughts.
“I didn't even touch you,” I scoffed.
“What? Did you just scoff at me?” she shouted.
I don't know why, but I kind of liked that she was pretty and all fitting a main lead in some romance novel but I usually don't like blondes, and she was a blonde.
“Well... sorry. I think we’re good now,” I smiled at her.
I was about to walk away when she dragged me back by my hair the hair I suffered to style this morning. I was about to fight back when an angel came in between us.
“Betty, you can't go about fighting everybody you see on the road because we had a fight,” he said to the girl.
So, her name was Betty. It fit her bitchy character. But the boy? He was hot. He was 6'3" and had these icy blue eyes that complimented his pale skin. He had this jet-black hair, and I felt like running my hands through it. That would have been cool if I wasn't in this messed up situation.
“Sorry, I apologize on her behalf.”
His voice was also divine, so I nodded in acceptance with a smile.
“Thank you,” he said, then walked up to the girl named Betty and dragged her away.
I hate Mondays, and things could not get any better. I received a text saying we have a get-together. “Why me?” I felt like crying.
After all my classes, I hurried home so I could catch a nap before the get-together. I know you would say, “If I don't like it, why am I going?” but it's compulsory, and our lecturer is going to be there at least, that's what I thought until I got to the venue.
“I could have done my research about this place,” I said to myself as I walked past sweaty bodies dancing to deafening music. I was dressed in a hoodie and baggy jeans, and this was clearly a club, I think.
I made my way to the private room that they booked. I thought it was a restaurant. I struggled past drunk teenagers, adults, and so on, and finally, I got to the room. When I entered, I was so disappointed. There was no lecturer, but maybe there is.
“Please, is there a lecturer here?” I asked a girl with black hair.
She looked at me like I was a dummy.
“I mean, I came because they said they would add points,” I explained.
But instead of replying, she burst into laughter. “Guys, she fell for it!” she said to the other people in the room.
“Pay up, Williams! I told you the nerds would fall for it,” a boy I had never seen said to a guy beside him, and they were all laughing. That's when I knew that I had to go.
I immediately slipped out of the room when they weren't looking. On my way out, I bumped hard into a chest.
“Ouch,” I cried, rubbing my head.
When I looked up, I saw him. He was already looking at me.
“Am I dreaming?” I said out loud, the words barely a whisper
“No, you're not, Miss Novel.”
It was him and He's really…..
Alexei’s POVThe drive back to the mansion was a blur of adrenaline and suppressed fury. Every time the image of my dead guard flashed in my mind, my claws threatened to shred the leather of the steering wheel. Mario wasn't just playing games; he was shedding pack blood to see if I would flinch. He was testing the fence, trying to see if I would reveal my mate.By the time I pulled into the driveway, I was vibrating with the need to shift and run until my lungs burned. But then, a scent caught on the breeze, drifting from the open dining room window.Maple syrup, warm skin, and life. Novel was awake.The monster under my skin didn't disappear, but it went still. I forced my breathing to slow, smoothing the front of my expensive suit jacket. I couldn't walk in there looking like a butcher. I needed to be the man she could trust, not the one she should fear.I pushed open the heavy oak doors. I saw Maya first steady, reliable Maya and then I saw her. She was sitting at the massive table
Novel's POV I woke up in a room that was twice the size of my entire apartment.“How did I get here?” I whispered to the empty, high ceilings.Then, the memories drifted back. I must have fallen asleep in the car. I felt a sudden heat crawl up my neck I blushed at the thought that instead of waking me up, he had actually carried me all the way in here.I stood up and twirled around the plush carpet, my cheeks still burning. “I feel like a princess,” I giggled to myself.My little private moment was interrupted by a soft knock. I hurried to the door and pulled it open to find a woman in her sixties. She had striking, deep brown eyes and snow-white hair tied back in a neat ponytail. Despite the white hair, her face looked youthful, though I could tell she had years of experience I’d spent enough time around elderly patients to know the difference.“Ahem. Can you hear me?” she asked, waving a hand in front of my face.“Oh! Sorry,” I stammered, snapping out of my trance. Based on her pr
Alexei's POV My wolf was pacing a jagged circle behind my ribs, his claws scraping against my psyche. Mate. Secure. Claim. The commands were a constant, rhythmic thrum in my blood, making it nearly impossible to focus on the road as I drove Novel toward the estate. I glanced at her in the passenger seat. She looked so fragile, her head lolling against the headrest, her skin pale against the dark leather. The scent of hospital antiseptic clung to her, making my hackles rise. I wanted to bury my face in the crook of her neck and drown out that sterile stench with my own scent. I wanted to mark her so clearly that every predator in a hundred-mile radius would know she belonged to the Alpha of the Red Moon. But I couldn’t. Not yet. She was human, and she was fragile. “Viktor,” I growled into my Bluetooth as the massive iron gates of the estate swung open. “The room is ready, Alpha,” Viktor’s voice came through, crisp and professional. “But you should know Mario already knows she’s you
Alexei's POVIt had been a week since I last held her, and with only four weeks remaining until the crowning ceremony, the pressure was suffocating. I couldn't see her, not yet. As powerful as I was, she was vulnerable. If the council discovered she was my true mate, I shuddered to think of the danger she’d face. Specifically, I feared Ava’s father, Beta Mario. He was a man driven by ambition, and he wanted his daughter on the throne beside me. By now, I was certain my mate despised me for the broken promise of my return.I parked my car at the far end of the school lot, hidden in the shadows. I watched her walk out, wearing a black gown with her hair tossed into a messy bun. She had her glasses on and looked utterly exhausted. I trailed her at a distance, my heart aching as I watched her shoulders slump. She looked so lonely, so abandoned. I knew she likely thought I had discarded her, but I had to find a way to claim her without painting a target on her back. I had to tell her the t
Alexei’s POVShe fiddled with her fingers, her gaze flickering away as if she were weighing the weight of her next words. “It’s my first kiss, so I don’t know how to react,” she whispered, covering her face with her palms.I couldn't help but let out a low, dark chuckle. Since I’d met her, a sense of amusement had replaced my usual coldness. I found it strange that a mere human could shift my mood so effortlessly.“Really?” I asked, leaning closer into her space. She nodded vigorously, her face still hidden. I laughed again, though part of me felt a predatory satisfaction. I already knew everything about her. I had tasked Viktor, my Beta, with unearthing every detail of her life. That was how I knew exactly where she lived. I knew she was untouched, and even if she didn't realize it, I could feel her primal pull toward me. I was an Alpha; she was my fated Mate. The universe didn't give her a choice.I pulled the car to the curb in front of her apartment building. “Well, Miss Novel, I
Novel's POV “I didn't take you for a club person, Miss Novel,” he said with a smirk.My mind was replaying my dreams, but I composed myself.“I thought we had a get-together, but it was a prank for the nerds,” I explained, gesturing toward the club’s entrance.He laughed. Though his laugh was swallowed by the loud music, I still heard it, and it was amazing.“You were leaving, right?”I nodded.“Okay, good. Let's go together.”After saying this, he placed his hand on the small of my back. This action sent immediate shivers down my spine. I guess he noticed it, too, since he looked at me and then smirked.I followed him out, and when we got outside the club, I felt like the happiest person alive. I won't say I'm an introvert, but I love my peace and the man beside me too. He pulled his car key from his pocket and walked me to his car. He opened the passenger door of his Lamborghini for me, and honestly, I felt like a princess in distress who had been saved by a knight in shining armor
