A shaky breath came out after he banged the door shut. I could still feel the electric chills all over my body. His warm hands on my neck gave me butterflies. His hands were gentle. His thumb grazed my cheek with tenderness. For the first time I noticed the desire in his wistful eyes. It was almost like he had no control over what he was doing and the moment he realized, he pulled himself away. He’s running away, he’s avoiding it.
Damn it Asher, if you could just tell me why I am really here. Tell me the truth because I am so desperate to know.
Because if I’m right then,
It’s not only you. It’s me too.
I was stunned when I saw him. My white crescent mark was visible. I had to pull the towel higher before he could see it. T

So I’m his mate. I’m Asher’s life partner. His wife? He felt the connection? How can he just feel it? If only it was that simple. There are so many questions racing inside my head. Look on the bright side; you get to talk to your family. But what do I tell them since I’m not going back anytime soon? Asher said he had his conditions before he let me talk to them. What conditions is he talking about? Please don’t make things more complicated than they already are. Werewolves? They exist! There are more like them out there. Why isn’t anyone aware o

Asher left me after the call. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t mad at him for doing that. He should be considerate. He should have stayed with me. After all, I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing it for him. But then again he did give me an option, there was no forcing from his side. Someone please remind me why I’m doing it for him again? Regret was washing all over me. But no, I knew I had to be firm on my choice. I have to be adamant. Besides, staying here will give me a chance to discover a whole new world. A world of werewolves! I could very possibly be the first human to have discovered them. The thought was exciting. Deep within, I was hurting. The pain was excruciating. I brought that pain upon myself. If I had refused to Asher, right now I woul

Maya was standing inside the room with bags full of clothes for me. She got the news that I was staying longer so she bought more outfits. Maya felt like a friend I never had a chance to have (despite the current circumstances). “I’m so glad you’re staying with us” she squeaked. A part of me was thrilled and the other full of sorrow. The thrilled part of me was the one I was focusing on. There’s no point in feeling bad now. My choice had already been made and I wasn’t planning on changing it only to look like a coward. But maybe not doing so makes me one. Last night, Asher made clear of the things I could do around here. The only thing I’m not permitted to do is go out alone in the woods. Without a fuss I agreed. He told me I didn’t have a reason t

Relaxing on the grey couch I fixed my eyes on Aurelia who was letting out light snores. Sleepy head! Abruptly, she started shifting her sides, getting uneasy. Her breaths became heavier and she started panting. A loud gasp and then she woke up, sitting on the bed. “That good huh?” Her eyes made their way to me and I gave her a smirk. “What?” she asked out of breath. She seemed befuddled. “Was I that good in your dream that you woke up, out of breath?” I elaborated. Shaking her head irately, she replied, “No Asher. You weren’t that good because I wasn’t dreaming about you” For a moment she stared blankly at me thinking something over when I deci

“Where did you both go out last night?” Maya wiggled her brows. Pushing her back, I replied, “He was showing me around Maya. It’s not what you’re thinking,” “How do you know what I’m thinking?” She did me one good. “I just know,” I laughed, “I’m hungry. Can I please eat?” We were standing in the kitchen and the scent of all that food was making my mouth water. I could now sit at the dining table and have breakfast with Asher and the rest. Unlike me the rest of them are early risers so they were already done. Maya waited till I got up, which was in the afternoon. Yikes! She must be famished. Or perhaps it’s just an act. The soup from last night h

It was best to have this conversation in my office so I ordered the training session to be over and informed Gray to join us. It was gradually getting darker as the sun started to set. The office had a frigid mood since the weather was getting colder and the windows were open.“This doesn’t make any sense,” Gray blurted.“That’s what I thought,” I muttered.“I can’t refuse him, I hope you know that. The Winter Camp is open for every pack around the world. Refusing him would mean…” Cole started with the whole explanation but frankly, at the moment, it was infuriating me further.“I know what it means, Cole. I don’t want you getting into details,” I snapped at him. I was standing beh

I got up earlier than usual. It was still 4 a.m. It was the disturbing sensation in my legs, the constant worry and pestering of my mind, the exasperation of my soul. I was unable to get some nice sleep. It was Jacob Campbell. Like some cranky teenage boy with an ego the size of a football pitch and anger issues reaching the skyline, I wanted to throw and break anything that my eyes settled on. Frustrated, I jumped out of my bed and closed my eyes, trying to contain the outburst that was threatening to leave any second now. Deep breaths. In and out. In. And. Out. Christophe knows better than to screw with me. What have I ever done to that bastard that he keeps on vexing my nerves? My eyes opened and brows dr

Surprisingly, I woke up on time today. Wearing a long sleeved grey baggy sweatshirt I hopped downstairs. “Oh hell, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle,” my face turned to the side where I heard Maya’s voice. “You’re up early today,” She stood rooted to the ground with her jaw dropped. “Come on, it’s not like I don’t wake up early. Why are you so amazed?” I laughed. “Words fail me!” she smiled as she walked beside me. “Are you hungry?” “You know I am,” She was preparing my plate when I took the opportunity of asking her about Jacob. “Maya?” I said and she hummed in response. “Who is Jacob?” I asked.
