Chapter Eleven“so she’s staying.” Isaac said as they walked to the courtyard where they used often for training. The sky had gone pitch black hours ago almost as quickly as the sun dipped back into the horizon and the pack members had settled in early. It was a little over midnight which was the perfect time for Tristan to let off some steam.“yes.” Tristan swung at Isaac’s head but the Beta was extremely fast ducking so tristan’s fist swiped above his head. “i don't know how I feel about a human being so close.” Isaac said. His wolf Ren was itching to come to the surface the beast had always loved a good fight. ‘not now Ren.’‘such a spoil sport why do you always gotta have all the fun?’‘alright I promise when we go for a run later you're in charge.’Satisfied with Tristan’s response Ren settled back in.“nobody's going to hurt her if that's what you’re worried about.” Tristan had been so distracted by Ren that he didn't have time to prevent Isaac’s right hook. His head tilted b
Chapter TwelveTristan had known she was in his office almost as soon as he walked in. Aside from the fact that she was clearly visible from where she hid under his desk, her scent was intoxicating. It infuriated him to no end but he got himself into this mess when he told her she could stay. Tristan relishes in being in control, the Alpha in him thrives in that, it's how he was able to rule his pack and they respect and fear him because of that and all it took was an auburn haired, doe eyed siren to unravel him. Tristan wanted her like he never wanted any she wolf.Tristan howled in pain, his canines protruding and his claws unsheathing. He gazed down at his chest where Isaac clawed him and snarled at his Beta.“you were distracted.” Isaac said in his defence. “i don’t know where you were man but you were out of it.” Tristan’s eyes slowly reverted back to a brilliant blue, his canines retracted and so did his claws.“don’t ever do that again.” Was all he said before walking away l
Chapter Thirteen.Ugh! How infuriating. Now it’s my fault? He was the one who told me to stay when I was going to leave as soon as he came in and now he is angry at me for obeying his wishes? Well next time i’ll be sure to stay the hell away then!I glared at the door from which he exited, seething but my body betrayed me by shivering at his growl. What was that about any way? I could swear sparks of electricity went between us or did I imagine that? It was tingly and weird.Shaking those thoughts away I sat down to finish the last of my sandwich and hot chocolate that was cold chocolate now. I had just finished rinsing the last of the dishes I had used when the kitchen door opened and I whipped my head around to find Betsy who was surprised to see me there.“oh dear you’re up early you should’ve waited for me to get you some break fast.”“oh it wasn't that much of a hassle I was happy to do it. Besides, I couldn't exactly wait you see...”I laughed awkwardly. Betsy looked confuse
Chapter FourteenIt took a few seconds for what Josh said to actually sink in and my heart literally dropped to the pit of my stomach. Mistress: as in lady of the house married to the owner of the house which happens to be Tristan, that kind of mistress? I stared at her unblinking. Gorgeous might be putting it lightly, the woman was a bombshell and I could see why Tristan was attracted to her she was no different from all those models he’s been with. I felt jealousy burning hot from the pit of my stomach and I glanced at her again only to see her staring right back at me, she wasn't just staring she was walking towards me with purposeful strides. The kitchen suddenly felt so small and I wanted to be anywhere but here.Rowena Whitethorn looked like someone who’d stab you in the heart and twist the knife for effect while she enjoys watching you bleed and suffer.I shuddered at my own gruesome thoughts.She stopped in front of me and smiled sweetly. "Kyra is it?" She said cocking her
Chapter Fifteen I had no idea there were so many workers around here as Cherry and Josh showed me around. There were many cottages scattered here and there, others were clustered together to form a community of sorts complete with a clinic for health emergencies. Cherry was born here so she's lived her entire life here while josh moved in when he was five after his mom's death. This is my home from now on unless I leave for college which wouldn't be anytime soon."It's really beautiful out here." I said."Wait till you see the pond it's the most ethereal thing around here." Josh said beaming with excitement so contagious I couldn't help but feel excited too. Josh led the way and we followed. It was only the entrance to the forest surrounding the estate but the trees were all the way up that I had to tilt my head back to look at them. They were looming menacingly and so gloomy that I wondered how the rest of the forest would be like."Are there wild animals?" I asked suddenly.A weir
Chapter SixteenHe shouldn't care about what she thinks of him, shouldn't even care about her feelings at that moment but he does and also felt the need to explain himself. Rowena had caught him off guard with that kiss and he wanted Kyra to know. These thoughts were what had him racing halfway across the estate into the woods after her and since he was faster he was able to catch up to her in no time at all. What he did not anticipate however was the rogue black wolf snarling at her ready to pounce on her. Rage curled through him and he promised a slow death.A rogue wolf in his territory?Her fear raw and agonizing seeped into him and his growl shook the trees but Isaac tackled the rogue before he did shifting in a second and Tristan reacted instinctively, pulling Kyra to him so she didn't have to witness the two wolves battling it out and Isaac eventually sinking his canines into the rogue's neck and ripping him apart.Her entire body was racked with tremors as she buried her face
Chapter Seventeen“she saw me shift.” Isaac said as soon as they got to Tristan’s office.“you don’t know that.” Tristan said. “besides, I’m not too worried about her I’m worried about the rogue, did you find out from which pack he belonged to?”“no Alpha.”“I’m worried they might start to become a problem again. Increase security on the borders I don't want another incident like this one to occur again.”“yes Alpha. About the human…”“leave her to me.” Tristan said.“yes alpha.” Tristan wasn't worried about the possibility of Kyra finding out what they were he had no concrete assurance he just knew. What made him curious though was the fact that she hadn't been startled by the fact that Isaac had shifted or had she dismissed it as some trick of the light?That night I had an alternate version of the nightmare that has plagued my nights for the past three years. I tossed and turned, unable to get myself out of my misery. Thick smoke filled my throat and threatened to choke me, the sme
“it's past your bedtime already kid.” I started at the lazy drawl of a voice I would know even in my sleep. Tristan’s voice wasn't the only thing I was familiar with, every inch of him called out to me in ways I couldn't begin to explain, and right now every nerve endings in me were hyper aware of his presence. I turned to face him and my heart did that little dance it always does whenever I look at him. “I’m starting to think you do have a death wish after all.”“I didn't go into the woods and I doubt any wolf would make it this far.”“and what made you think I was referring to the wolf.” He pinned me with stare that had my heart pounding but I lifted my chin and regarded him defiantly.“just so you know I was here first so you can't say I broke the rule because you came to me.” I had to make sure I get it out there if by death wish he meant us running into each other again. “so you can't kick me out. Since I was here first maybe you should leave instead to avoid any trouble.”Trist
