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
Chapter Nineteen “what kiss?” I asked feigning ignorance.“you know what kiss.” He said irritably.“what you do with your mouth is none of my business Mr. O'Connor, and I don't see the need for you to explain yourself to me.”“don’t be glib Kyra.” Was that the first time he said my name? I don’t remember him saying it with such a sexy caress that glides over my skin. “in any case you do not owe me any explanations.” I couldn't get the image of him kissing Rowena out of my mind and it irritated me to no end.“I’m not good for you Kyra.” I wanted him to keep saying my name, the effect of it was like drugs in my veins.I lifted my eyes to his. “good is overrated.”“I’m serious, and you’ll be wise to heed my advise and stay the hell away.” He shook his head, “don’t fall for me Kyra.”“it's too late now I’m afraid and there's nothing you can do about it.” I swallowed hard, my gaze dropping to his mouth. I’ve wanted him with every fibre of my being since I set my eyes on him and my feeli
Chapter Twenty Tristan was panting heavily, his grunts desperate as he struggled to regain control on his wolf. His claws were out and he’s sure his eyes had changed colour too. Tried as he may he was unable to calm down, all he could see was her face and all he could smell was her if he doesn't control himself he’s sure his next course of action would be to march back to the mansion find Kyra and finish what they started. He quickly shifted and bounded into the woods.He ran and ran and ran until the trees and the sky were a blur of white, blue and green. Until her scent was replaced by the smell of pines.Tristan howled out his pain and frustrations at the moon. He could've hurt her tonight because he’d been close to wolfing out.‘I’m sorry Tristan.’ Ren said.‘what happened back there?’ ‘I guess you could say I lost control.’‘you never lose control Ren.’‘you’re right. That human Kyra, she does something to me, to us. This is pretty strange don’t you think?’Tristan thought so t
