CELESTE.I’m freaking out!Darvin would be arriving in less than an hour, and I was not done fixing myself. Instead, I spent hours preparing dinner for us. We were supposed to eat out, but for some reason, I wanted him all to myself tonight. I didn’t want any other woman to check him out, so I opted for a home-cooked meal, and now I want to regret it.What if the food was something he didn’t like? What if he wanted al fresco dining? And what if my apartment was too small for his tall frame?Oh, God! I would certainly mess up, and he might not want to see me again.I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. The table looked good. It looked appetizing. I just needed to look good as well, but I didn’t have much time left.If my gut tells me later that we should eat out, then we will. The last thing I wanted was to look like a loser in front of this perfect-looking man. It had been months since I met Darvin through Riley and Nadia, and for months he had been running in my mind. I swea
CELESTE. The dinner was perfect. If he didn’t like the food, he never showed it. I think he even ate too many, which made me happy. We actually didn’t talk too much, just the regular conversation about where I work and how many siblings I have, and I was fine with it. Most of the time, we were just silent, but the silence was comfortable with him. I saw him looking at me too many times. Especially on my lips. Maybe if I didn’t like him, I would have found it creepy, but in reality, it gave me tingles down there. I wondered if he wanted to kiss me as much as I did. He wouldn’t ask to meet me if he was not interested in me, right? The only thing I had to do now was to keep his interest. I placed the table napkin down before I glanced up at him and found him looking at me already. I opened my mouth to speak only to close it. The words got stuck in my throat. Darvin dropped his gaze. "I’m sorry, I keep staring. I just can’t believe you’re sitting in front of me." My heart fluttere
DARVIN. I went here with no expectations. I just wanted to see her, and if she ever pushed me away, I would finally accept that we were not meant to be together. But everything that happened tonight was the exact opposite — she let me touch her, and she let me kiss her. The sparks that her touch gave me were beyond what I imagined they would be. Katarina was right — you would never know how strong the bond was until you felt the connection they could give between mates. And I wish Celeste could feel it too. But then, everything went downhill fast the moment the word 'monster' came out of her mouth. I was never a sensitive person, but hearing it from her pushed my self-esteem downward. Of course, to ordinary humans, we would look like monsters. And I didn't want her to see me that way. So I chose the coward's way out — walking away. I was already near the front door when she stopped me. "I know what you are, Darvin. And I never thought, even for a second, that you were a monster."
CELESTE."Darvin… You’re not going to walk away and ask me to forget you, right?" I murmured against the skin of his neck while my arms were clinging to him.I didn’t want him to go. Everything he told me was overwhelming. I didn’t know I could feel happy and yet broken at the same time.But I didn’t want to dwell on the bad part. I just wanted him to want me enough for him to stay.His arms around my body tightened as he pressed a kiss on the crown of my head. "I’m giving you a chance to walk away, Celeste… and when you do, I will accept it, and I will never bother you again."His words came out low, but I could hear the pain in them. I withdrew from hugging him and shook my head. "I’m not walking away. And you’re not either. Even if that means tying you up on a chair so you can’t leave!" I knew I was exaggerating, but he needed to know how much I wanted him.A smile tugged on his lips, and I got mesmerized again. Darvin was really good-looking. How on earth was I chosen to be fat
CELESTE. "Please, let me fuck you, Celeste." "Yes! Yes! Please!" My words came out needy as tingles shot up from my core. The moment those words left my mouth, Darvin hoisted up my body, and soon I was put down on the small sofa with my back leaning on the armrest. Darvin moved back and began unbuttoning his pants, and it made me swallow hard, before clamping my legs together only for his knees to stop them. He flashed me a smug grin before he shook his head. And like the good girl that I was, I opened my legs wider and reached for the hem of my satin pajama shorts and tugged them down at the same time Darvin kicked his pants off his feet. Soon he was bending in front of me as he helped me pull my lacy panties off. "My girl is so fucking wet for me…" He licked his lips as his fingers brushed over my folds, coating his fingers with my wetness before he brought them to his mouth and sucked them clean. His eyes changed color, and I swear I heard rumbling from his chest. He still h
CELESTE. The last two days felt surreal, and I didn’t want them to end. Darvin stayed with me while I continued with my daily routine. He would drive me to work, meet me for lunch, and then pick me up after work. And now, we were driving back to his city. I had filed an immediate leave of absence for a week, and my uncle approved it after I introduced Darvin to him. He was still in shock that I was mated to a wolf, but when he found out that Darvin was a friend of Caspian, he became more relaxed. Darvin also requested to speak with him alone, and although I wanted to know what they would talk about, I didn’t object and let them have their time. They were probably discussing things I was not aware of, but hopefully, Darvin would trust me enough to let me in on his circle. After that, we visited my mother, and she instantly fell in love with him. Who would not? Darvin knew how to charm females even without trying, and it was just making me swoon over him more. None of my boyfriends
SOFIA. "I think you’re here to train and not to waste time just chatting." Dominic’s voice was so cold that my eyes widened as I turned around to look at him, while the females around me paled. I already smelled him even before he spoke, but I wasn’t expecting him to act this way with me and the females I was talking with. What happened to him? I was still disappointed with his demeanor when my eyes locked with his and a mischievous smile slowly crept into his face. "I was just kidding. I am here to kidnap your future Luna." He smiled at the females, who finally let out the breath they were holding as his strong arms curled under my knees and on my back as he scooped me off the ground. "I assume you're done with her and it’s my time, right?" "Yes, Alpha," they all said in unison as they let off chuckles and giggles. "Good good! We'll see you around them. Enjoy the full moon tonight." "Yes, Alpha... Good luck on your shifting, Luna." "Thank you!" I replied to them as I waved go
SOFIA. "Are you okay? You look pale!" Celeste exclaimed, and in seconds, Dominic was already behind me. "Is the pain starting?" He asked as his hands held my arms as we moved to the area where I was supposed to crouch and wait for my shifting. I nodded my head as my eyes watered. I wanted to scream and cry, but knowing there were many warriors around, I didn’t want to appear weak in front of them. I wanted them to see me as a strong Luna. I sat on the ground and pulled my knees up against my chest before resting my head on them. Dominic was in front of me, smoothing his hand against my back. I could see worry flitting in his eyes, so I smiled at him. "I’m okay. I can take the pain…" I was trying to be brave, but pain suddenly hit me on my spine before it spread to every joint in my body. I gasped for air as I struggled to go on all fours, and this time I couldn’t stop the tears from trickling down my face. My whole body was burning from the inside, and it felt like every bone w
