LARKXE

“Dad, are you being serious right now? You want me to get married to a that woman?” I whispered loudly at my father who stood next to me in the room I had dragged him to, after he had landed the very big blow on me. I had rushed down to the Lakewood mansion when he had called me, thinking there had been an urgent meeting, just as he had implied.

I had certainly not been expecting to come home to a full entourage of in-laws-to-be.

“Lark, you have to understand that we need this alliance to make our pack stronger. You won’t see the use now, but later in the future, when I am no more, you would realize what I have just done for you.” He said, walking closer to me and placing his hands gently on my shoulders as he spoke.

If he was thinking what he had just said to me make any sense, then he had a big one coming.

I shook his hands off my shoulders and walked away from where he was. I thanked the moon for the kind of walls we had in the mansion. The walls of Mansion Lakewood was built and sealed with a witch’s spell so the usual super sense of a werewolf that allowed them to hear everything did not work. Well it worked, but not for outsiders. So the people in the next room could not hear what we were saying. The spells were cast because of the Onwa witches who shared the mansion with us.

“I would say this, and I want you to listen and respect my decision. I would not marry that girl, whether you like it or not. You cannot just throw a bride at me and expect me to just accept it.” I said, with a finality in my tone. I hadn’t even looked at the woman sitting in there a second time, before asking my father to follow me. I wasn’t interested. Period.

Alpha Lotan nodded his head and cleared his throat. “I guess I cannot force you to do anything you dint want to do.” He shrugged and patted me on the my back before making his way back into room full of people.

I shivered at the thought of going back in there. I really didn’t want to be there, so I hesitated a little.

My father must have felt my reluctance because his voice filtered into my thoughts. “Stay.” I felt bad for not doing what he wanted, but it was i who was going to suffer at the end, bound forever with a strange woman.

I opened another door and was about walking towards my bedroom when I felt it. It felt like I had been hit with something, but at the same time, it felt like I hadn’t taken the hit directly. Like there was a barrier shielding me so I felt only the force of the hit, but not the pain.

I frowned and looked outside a window which was just next to me. From where I was standing, I could see a strange car parked just outside the mansion, on a spot that wasn’t supposed to be parked on. Whoever had brought that car there must have been a visitor if not he would have been aware that nobody parked there.

Something still drew me to the window, so I walked to it yo take a closer look. I reached the window just in time to see a redhead walk out of the car and run towards the entrance of the mansions with her arms wide, like she wanted to hug someone. From the angle I was, I couldn’t see more as she had now disappeared from my sight. I hadn’t even seen her face.

I closed my eyes and tried to sense her, or at least catch a scent, but I was hit by that invincible force again, both I and my wolf. We staggered backwards as it caused us a slight pain, knocking my breath away.

I held the wall behind me for support and tried to catch my breath again. Even my wolf glided along my skin as it tried to settle itself.

What was going on?

I pushed myself off the wall and continued my journey back to my room, loosing interest in the stranger outside. She must have been part of the crazy entourage that were my father’s visitors. And whoever she was, she was not worth my headache.

I opened my room door and stepped inside, closing it behind me. There was a little pressure on my chest so I placed my hand there and rubbed it to soothe it down.

I had never felt anything like it before.

My phone rang, and I pushed my hand into my pocket and fished it out.

Uricio

My best friend, and cousin.

“Uri,” I walked to my bed and sat down, using one hand to hold the phone, while the other untied the shoe laces of my boots, pulling them off, one after the other.

“Lark, hey man, I was calling to tell you I am back in town. Came back this morning.” He sounded really excited.

I frowned. “You are back in town, but ditching family duties. You better get your sorry ass to the mansion before I come drag you here myself.” I warned. It was my way of saying I had missed the hell out of him. Uri had left for an important business trip and hadn’t been at Lakewood for over two months. Knowing my cousin, he would in no way, spent the wholr two months doing just business. I was pretty sure he had found a balance between business and pleasure.

He snorted. “Oh please. You are better at handling the affairs of Lakewood more than the whole family combined. So I know it’s in good hands. You don’t need me there.” I heard light laughter in the background making me wonder where he was.

“Get your ass down here man. Things are getting really crazy over here,” my thoughts went back to the scene I had just run away from, making me feel irritation. The fact that they had been so eager to get their daughter married to a stranger who wasn’t even her mate, was still baffling to me.

“Really? I want to hear everything_” someone interrupted him in the background, cutting him off. “Listen, Lark, there is a party tonight at the Lakewood lounge, come around. It’s VIP.”

By the moon!

Whenever Uri talked about a VIP party, I knew it was going to be lit, and would not end well, even if it was going to be enjoyable. Our parent’s had been distraught the last time, when we had gotten arrested after fighting. It had been Uri’s fault anyway.

“Well, after the episode here earlier, I wouldn’t miss a party invite. After all, it’s the last Friday of the month.” I agreed without thinking twice. I and Uri usually went out of town on the last weekends of the month. I hadn’t been expecting him to be around so I hadn’t planned on anything.

“Good, I’ll see you then.” He hung up. It seemed he was quite busy.

I tossed my phone away and pulled off my shirt then unbuttoned my trousers to loosen up the pressure on my waist, before laying down on the bed and closing my eyes.

There was still a strange feeling in me, even my wolf felt uncomfortable.

Whatever was wrong, I hoped I got to relax at the party.

    AERYAHI hadn't seen Larkxe in hours. My parents had led out of the room to give him privacy and time to grieve his parents. But now, I just wanted to be by his side, which is why I was making my way to the bathroom. I had seen the door which connected the two rooms together, when I had gone to take my bath earlier. But it had been locked. Larkxe had locked it, and I was very sure he hadn't come in since the incident either.Slowly, I stepped into the bathroom, and headed for the door, placing my hand in the knob and placing some spells on it. The door gave, and I pushed it, and stepped inside his room.I didn't have time to admire the room, just concentrating on the figure sprawled across the bed in am awkward position. I could hear the sound of his breath, and from the rhythm, I knew he wasn't asleep."Aeryah?" he sighed, and turned lazily to face me. The sight of his face made my heart melt. With bare feet, I padded across the room and climbed into the bed, not bothering to wait fo

    AERYAHI jolted out if the bed as soon as I heard the scream pierce through the air, almost sending Larkxe go the floor. Quickly, I rushed to the closet to get some clothes while Larkxe struggling to get himself together. "What the hell is goibg on?" he asked, rhetorically, and moved for the door. My eyes were wide too as I covered myself quickly and followed him out."What is going on?" This time, I asked a domestic staff who happened to be passing by as we made our way up the stairs, to the west wing. That was where the sound had come from.The woman shook her head and pointed in the direction we were going. "I don't know, we all heard it, and are headed there now." she answered and gave Larkxe a brief look, before going up ahead of us.I turned to look at him with a frown on my face. His expression mirrored mine as we made our way up. I could suddenly feel shivers as we approached the last floor. That wasn't good.My mother, aunt, cousin, and some of the staff, were all standing

    LARKXEI closed the door behind me and advanced into the room, slowly. It took every bit of will power I had in me, not to rush to the bed, and take her in my arms. This mating thing was killing me, and had almost stripped me of all my selfcontrol. The expression on her face mirrored what I felt inside of me. I wasn't alone.I watched as she adjusted the sheets she had drawn up to her chest, drawing my attention to the rise and fall of her chest. She was nervous. I could tell. A little bit of the memory of the night we spent together, flashed in my mind. I licked my lips. My cock throbbed inside the confines of my jean, and I was happy the legs were loose enough to hide the indentation.That wasn't the reason I was here. I was here because I had resolved with my parents to marry her. It was crazy...I know, but I wanted to do things the right way. Aside from being my mate, she was intriguing as hell. And I was smitten by here."Hey..." I said, standing before her, just at the foot of

    AERYAHMy mother had been spitting blue fire, literally, as she paced the full length of the dining room. To say I was afraid, was to say the least.i couldn't even explain what had occured in the shed. All I could say, was that my emotions were on a high."Mum, please say something." I urged, completely fed up with the silence and suspense. It was killing me.She stopped in her tracks, and closed her hands in a fist, quenching the blue flame that sat on both palms. The flames were pretty harmless, until they were thrown at a person."What do you want me to say, Aeryah? I'm confused and really, really angry. We do no mate with them. It has never happened before." she spat, and looked at my father, who sat in his own corner, for help.I sighed, running my hands through my red hair. Now that the whole mating madness had cleared up a little bit, I could think straight. The truth was, I never would have thought that I would be mated any time soon. Not in a million years. And especially, no

    AERYAH"Aeryah! Do you know who he is?" she asked worriedly, making me frown."Uhmm, the man I slept with...?" I answered, staring at her and beginning to get worried myself. Maryah bit her lips and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Aeryah. You just slept with the Alpha's son. Scratch that. You just slept with the Alpha of Lakewood's son." she said, and shut her eyes.I inhaled sharply at her words. She had to be joking. "No, Maryah. You must be joking. There is no way in hell that that's possible. If it was really the Alpha of Lakewood's son, I would know right away. I'm a moon witch." I tried to defend myself, but even I, knew that my words didn't have any weight.The sexual tension had been so high that I had thrown all caution and reasonable thinking to the wind. Maryah shook her head. "I'm afraid it's true. How would I lie about such a thing to you?" she said and played with her hair nervously.A small chill ran through me as realization started to dawn on me. "Maryah, when I ar

    LARKXEI woke up with a very big smile on my face. As cheesy as it sounded, I had dreamt of Aeryah, and I had enjoyed every bit of it. I smiled again and stretched my body, feeling relaxed.Just as quick as the smile came, it left, and as I turned to the other side of the bed, I confirmed my fears.She had left. My ears peaked, trying to listen to hear any sound that could indicate if she was still around.Nothing. I touched the side of the bed she had laid and winced when I felt how cold it was. If I could guess, I would say she had left over an hour ago. It couldn't be less. But why had she left? She could have at least said goodbye to me!Disappointment washed through me as I sat up on the bed that now felt as uncomfortable as ever. I suddenly didn't want to be in the room anymore.What I had shared with Aeryah the previous night had been nothing short of mind-blowing, and I had been looking forward to getting to know her better. We had woken up in the wee hours of the morning, an
