LOGINI was stunned by Rylan’s sudden change in behavior. He had never acted like this before. What had happened between them that made him so… different?I stayed silent, though. He wasn’t hurting me, so it didn’t really matter. I assumed they had fought, which explained why Rylan was ignoring Eli.Then I realized something else, Rylan’s hand was still resting on my stomach, and we were sitting unusually close. I tried to remove his hand… but before I could, we arrived at our destination.I stepped out of the car, and Rylan followed closely behind me.We went inside together. I guessed he wanted to show his father that everything was fine between us, which was probably why he had come with me instead of Eli.Inside, the hall was already filled with people. We went to greet and congratulate his father. Once that was done, I stood in the corner, and to my surprise, Rylan was beside me. In fact, he had been with me the entire time, both when we arrived and while we greeted his father.But I w
As soon as I saw him, I tried to walk away. But before I could, he grabbed my wrist and dragged me with him. He pulled me into his bedroom, and the moment he closed the door, he slammed me against the wall.“Ugh—”I hissed in pain.“What are you doing, Rylan? You’re hurting me,” I said, raising both my hands to push him away. “Get away from me. I don’t want to be near you. Go to Eli. He’s your lover. Why are you here with me when you hate me so much?”I simply couldn’t understand him.Why bother coming to me when he hated me and wanted to make my life miserable?Or was this another one of his games? Getting close to me first, only to throw me aside later?He stared at me without blinking after hearing my words. Then suddenly, he lowered his head near my neck and inhaled deeply.“Why is that bastard’s pheromone lingering on you? What the hell did you two do?” he demanded angrily.“We didn’t do anything. And even if we did, what does it have to do with you? Why do you care about what I
But before I could say anything more, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. My hands landed on his chest as he pushed me down onto the bed.He took off his shirt as he climbed onto the bed.His pheromones filled the air, making my mind spin. I couldn’t resist them anymore, especially when I had loved him for so long.His lips pressed against mine, kissing and biting, trailing down my body. I couldn’t believe that Rylan was doing this with me.Our bare bodies pressed against each other. His pheromones wrapped around me, clouding my thoughts, and before I knew it, my own pheromones were responding.He marked me.A strange feeling spread through my body, and tears slipped from my eyes. His hips didn’t stop moving, and the pain mixed with something I couldn’t describe.“Who are you?” I asked.“Oh, I’m Rylan’s friend. I came to meet him, but I found out he isn’t at home, so I’m just waiting for him,” he replied casually. Then he looked at me with curiosity. “And you must be Rylan’s
I stood there, dumbfounded. Eli the gentle senior who had always cared for me, why would he do this?“I’m really sorry, Lorik. I didn’t mean to throw the coffee at you but I tasted sugar in it. I drink coffee without sugar, that’s why I reacted without thinking. I’m really sorry,” he said, his face showing concern. He stepped closer, taking both of my hands in his. “Are you okay?”But as he spoke, I saw it, the person I had admired, the kind, gentle senior I knew, was gone. Standing before me was someone else entirely. In his eyes, I was the one who had come between him and his lover, the one who had taken his Alpha away. He wanted revenge, and he knew Rylan would never take my side. No one was there for me.Tears welled up in my eyes. Without listening to another word, I jerked my hands free, ran upstairs, and locked my door from the inside. My stomach was aching and my skin was stinging. I went into the bathroom, and when I took off my clothes, I saw that my skin had turned red b
My eyes started to feel heavy; there were still three more hours before we reached the Dark Shadow Pack, so I decided to sleep. I closed my eyes and drifted off.When I opened them again, it was already morning, and our car had arrived. I glanced at the driver, he was eating a sandwich. Seeing me awake, he stepped back into the car, still holding his food.“We’ve arrived. I’ve already put your luggage inside the house. You just need to go in now,” he said. I nodded, opened the door, and stepped inside.But as soon as I entered the house, a hard slap struck my cheek. The force threw me against the wall, and my cheek burned. I felt something salty in my mouth, blood. I touched my face and looked up.Daelan was standing there.“Do you know what you’ve done?” he growled, and suddenly his hands were around my throat. I couldn’t understand everything he was saying, but I struggled to pull his hands away. He was terrifyingly strong, and if he continued, he would kill me.“Because of you, my
I opened the door and stepped inside. The atmosphere in his study felt different today. My father was smiling while looking at his laptop, clearly in a good mood.This was my chance.“Dad, I want to talk about something. It’s related to Rylan,” I said.Hearing me, my father closed his laptop and nodded. His expression clearly told me not to beat around the bush and to say whatever I had come to say directly.“Actually… Rylan already has a boyfriend. And that omega is my senior, so I don’t want to go through with this marriage.”As I said that, my eyes were fixed on the floor, so I couldn’t see my father’s expression. But the moment I looked up, something suddenly flew toward me and hit my head.The impact was so strong that I cried out in pain. When I touched my head, my fingers came away stained with blood. Looking down, I realized what had hit me, a flower vase.When I looked back at my father, he was already standing up from his chair, his face twisted with anger.“You bitch! Do yo
