Diana starts to look at Sylvia with disappointment in her eyes. Even the brothers are coming closer to hear what she has to say.As if sensing she is in trouble, she turns to me. Fake tears welling in her eyes, she says, “How could you have canceled my flowers, Ollie? I know you don’t like what I pi
Ollie’s POVOmega. The word echoes in my mind.The brothers move on down the line, giving their consideration to every else, no longer looking at me or thinking of me. Yet their judgement stays with me, keeping me frozen in shock both physically and mentally.Ella leans forward to look over at me in
Ollie’s POVNot long after his reprimand, Wes turns away from me, signaling this conversation is over.Thank the gods. Truly, I wasn’t sure I could take much more.Hastily, I turn to Diana and hurriedly say, “I’m sorry.” I didn’t mean to disrespect her in any way. I only wanted the truth. Though, no
Looking up at her, I can see the determination in her eyes. She truly believes what she says, and she believes she’s going to help me find a university that will accept me.Still I ask, “You really think so?” It seems too good to be true. I’m trapped in a pit of despair; it seems so unlikely that th
Ollie’s POVI’m not jealous. No. Not at all. Not even a little bit.If Hugh wants to go out and sleep his way through every available woman in town, it’s none of my business and I couldn’t care less.The fact that I can’t sleep that night is entirely related. I keep tossing and turning as my wolf Sc
While I haven’t been banned from anywhere in the estate, it’s been more understood than not that I have no reason to be certain places anymore. Showing up at random on one of the brothers’ floors is probably a bad look for me.Especially when it’s Hugh’s floor. Especially this late at night.My face
Hugh’s POVThis entire night, and now early morning, has been a total bust.I spent hours at the club trying to find the perfect partner for a long night of blissful activities, but every woman I considered, I saw something about her I just didn’t like.The blond in the tight blue dress? Too thin, a
“Why did you stop?” the woman asks. She’s frowning at me now.Gods, I did stop! Right in the middle of fucking her!I had thought having a fated mate was a blessing that would lead to the best sex of my life. Little did I know it was also a curse, making all my other sexual exploits feel dull in com
Conrad sets aside his coffee and takes the paperwork from me. Immediately, his disposition sours. He glares at the papers like they personally offended him.I know the feeling.“You saw her leave this?” Conrad asks.“Yes. There’s no mistake.”“What?” Hugh asks, leaning forward. “What is it?”“Ollie
Declan’s POVI prefer working in the early morning hours when the rest of the world is asleep. There’s something soothing about the world around 3 and 4 am. Nothing is due that early. All the bars are closed, the coffee shops not yet open. It feels like a stolen, frozen moment.I also enjoy how very
“Ah. That’s it. So good…” Hugh hums. “Mark me up, baby.”Encouraged by the lust in his voice, as well as the rock hard dick I feel jumping insistently against my thigh and backside, I move onto the next mark and then the next. I cover each of the marks I see on him with one of my own.As I do, his h
Ollie’s POVI can tell Hugh is angry, but since I don’t know why exactly, I can only brace myself as he steps into the room and slams closed the door behind him. Immediately, I push myself up to my feet, not wanting to be sitting down for what I’m sure is an argument about to ensue.He turns on me,
“Omegas can be emotional,” Wes says. “You will want to quickly learn how to get control of that, Ollie, before it gets you into trouble. You will not be speaking to me that way again.”Unlike Conrad, who loves to dole out the orders here and there, Wes generally has a gentler touch. At least, he did
Ollie’s POVWes’s eyes narrow as he looks between Ella and me. He’s clearly suspicious, and in all fairness, we aren’t giving him much reason not to be. Ella and I both have wild-eyed looks while we sit up ramrod straight, her on the chair, me on the bed. For all the world, we look like we were up t
If he shows, he shows. If he doesn’t, I’ll just have to find some other way to deal with this cursed mating bond.Ella sees what I type and send, and though her face is somewhat pinched with concern, she doesn’t voice any of it out loud.“I brought my laptop down,” she says and gestures to it sittin
Ollie’s POVWhen I blink my eyes open again, I’m in my bed in my bedroom. Ella is sitting in a chair pulled up beside the bed. She was reading a book, which she now places down into her lap. Seeing that I’m awake, she immediately asks, “Why did you let things get this bad again?”She knows as well a
“Why did you stop?” the woman asks. She’s frowning at me now.Gods, I did stop! Right in the middle of fucking her!I had thought having a fated mate was a blessing that would lead to the best sex of my life. Little did I know it was also a curse, making all my other sexual exploits feel dull in com
