Thorn's pov.
Cara, Luna's personal maid, brought Luna's orders to me and I couldn't help but smell a rat. What important meeting did she want me to follow her to? Something didn't seem right about it. I suspected that she had something else up her sleeves.The events of this morning still lingered in my head, her scent was all over my sheets and my body. I could still recall clearly everything that happened and it made my senses tingle.Resisting Genevieve has to be the most difficult thing I have ever had to do, but I must not succumb. I am here on a mission and she's making it difficult by trying to lure me to bed.Morning came quickly and I had to get ready to leave with Genevieve. Before the sun came up, I went into the palace to wait for her. I stood beside the doors to her chamber, but Alpha Jamie came out of the room first, he seemed to be in a hurry.“Thorn, why are you here? Is Luna going somewhere today?” He questioned, stoGenevieve's pov.Finally! After so long, I got what I wanted! And darn right it felt good! It was better than anything else I've ever felt, it was like I died and came back to life. The spasms didn't seem to end, I continued to shake on the table, grabbing my hair and groaning loudly.I finally opened my eyes after I noticed that Thorn wasn't touching me anymore. I found him standing behind the slightly open door, peering outside.“Thorn? What is that?” I asked, my voice still shaky from the mind blowing frenzy. He turned swiftly and placed his hand on his lip, signaling me to keep quiet.The look on his face was enough to show me that something was wrong. I immediately slid down the table and arranged my clothes properly. Then, I tiptoed to the window to check through the crack in it and found two rogue werewolves snarling at Thorn in front of the house.“Let's get out of here.” I whispered but he shook his head.
Genevieve's pov.“Where did you go to Genevieve?” Jamie yelled at me immediately as he entered our room. His brows were furrowed up, his breath was heavy from anger and I could see the fury in his eyes held. “What have I gotten myself into? Think, think, Genevieve you have to think fast or stand the chance of being roasted alive tonight.” I thought to myself. I calmed my nerves immediately and looked at him confidently, that's the least I could do to save myself. “I went out to see an old friend of mine, but when I got there I discovered that she was not around.”. If my story didn't convince him at least the confidence at which I said it should.I felt him calm himself down, the fury I saw a few minutes ago in his eyes was beginning to disappear slowly. “You should have at least informed me,” he said, a lot calmer than he did a few minutes ago. I heaved a sigh of relief silently, he was convinced. “I’m going into the bathroom to wash up, I'm extremely tired,” he said and began wa
Genevieve's pov.My glaring eyes refused to leave Thorn's, he was surprised by my sudden outburst. Thankfully, no one was around the vicinity to hear anything we were discussing. “Tell me, what exactly gives you the right to talk to me like that?” I questioned, a bit calmer now. He looked at me like I had grown two heads out of the blue. Then, the gentle look on his face turned into a tight frown.“Genevieve, have you forgotten about what happened last night because of your wild cravings? What if those rogues had gotten to you?” He scolded, his eyebrows furrowed and his glare intent. This mate of mine, something about him makes my insides tingle. Whether he was smiling or frowning, he always looked hot and irresistible.“But they didn't get to me, did they? You were there to defend me and fight them off like the stallion you are.” I grinned but he didn't find it funny at all. He shook his head, like he was tired of me.“Please, I don't want anything to happen to you. The Alpha will
Genevieve's pov.“My lady.” The two maids whom I had caught gossiping entered my room, shaking from fear. They couldn't even look me in the eyes, but I was glaring so much at them that I could have bore holes into their skins.“Can you two kindly continue what you were saying in the yard? Go ahead and finish your discussion, right here.” I told them and they turned to look at each other in surprise and confusion.“Are you deaf!?” They flinched and immediately got on their knees, realizing that I had overheard their conversation earlier.“We're sorry my lady, we are sorry.” They began to plead, shedding tears that didn't even move me. These maids can be cunning at times, I know their cries are fake and they're just looking for the easy way out.“Tell me exactly why you think it's okay for you to spread false rumors about me? What if the Alpha was the one who heard this? What do you think it would have done to our m
Thorn's pov.She will never let me be, will she? Genevieve will never let me have peace until she gets what she wants. What's surprising is that no matter how hard I try to pretend that I don't want this, the truth is that she will be the death of me. Again, she had me on a chokehold, I couldn't look away, she was just perfect, in every way possible. “What are you waiting for? Come on, the bed is warm and inviting.” She grinned, stretching her legs out to give me a better view of those flawless thighs of hers. I gulped and locked the door before taking slow steps over to the bed, my eyes glued to her body, watching and following every move she made. “I know you want to touch me so just come on and do it already.” She persisted, her toned body looking even better under the lightning in the room.“Genevieve, what if someone else had walked in instead of me?” I asked. Although no one comes in here, there could have been an emergency and someone would rush in to find me and then meet
Genevieve's pov.The moment I left Thorn's room, I knew I was going to get back at him. I wanted to show him a little of what he should expect for consistently rejecting me. He doesn't know who he's messing around with.I was meeting with some new recruits to start their training and I had no idea that it would provide the perfect opportunity for me to get back at Thorn.I saw him while I was yelling at the recruits and decided to spite him, thankfully, it worked and I had successfully achieved what I wanted.The joy I felt when he slapped the young soldier across the face was indescribable. But I had to pretend to be pissed off by what he had just done.“What did you do that for!?” I asked with wide eyes, placing my hand on my waist. The young soldier rubbed his cheek painfully.“He didn't have any right to be that close to you. The alpha wouldn't be happy to see you in such a compromising position.” He answered, keeping a straight face like nothing had just happened.“And what gave
Genevieve's pov.“Do you want me now? Huh?” I smirked, his reaction was priceless, exactly what I wanted.“You know I do.” He replied, lowering his head to take in my scent but I stepped back, freeing myself from his grip.“Well you can't have me.” I said, he looked surprised.“Why do you like to mess with me?” He questioned.“Because I like it when you cave.” I answered, walking back to my seat.“Next case please!” I called out and after glaring at me for a while, Thorn left, probably disappointed.I continued with the rest of the women's cases I had for the day and as soon as I was done, I had to hurry to my room to get some rest. I was extremely tired, there were lots of cases to judge and many of them were really crazy. It's surprising how much women can do for a man.When I got to the room, I immediately called for Cara and asked her to bring along some special, scented oils. I was going to have a long bath and then a massage after that.She soon arrived and we entered the bathro
Thorn's pov.When I heard that Genevieve and I were going into the village, I initially thought it was one of her plots to get us alone. But I realized that she didn't plan it when Alpha Jamie told me by himself to follow his wife into the village, warning me to keep her safe.His wife! How I hate to hear him call her his wife and claim her. She wasn't even his mate! Shouldn't he be doing this? Going into the village? But no, he sent Genevieve. I don't blame him for that though, Genevieve is a resilient woman and could tackle anything.Early the next morning, I got ready, putting on my official outing uniform which was only worn when we had official business outside the palace. I must admit, I look kind of hot when I'm wearing it.I left my room and went to wait for Genevieve in front of her room. I was informed by Cara that she wasn't in her room, instead, she was in the private dining room with the alpha, having breakfast. I decided to go and wait there for her.A few minutes later,
