Spending the rest of the day with Regina turned out not as bad as he thought. Albeit that the connection between them was missing, the silence was rather relaxing. It took the weight of everything off his shoulders.Regina crossed her legs as she sat on the sofa in the living room reading. He noticed that she cut her hair short, and had straightened her hair with a curling iron. She wore a long summer dress that covered her knees, one he had not noticed her wear before. The chiffon material was sheer to begin with, and left nothing to the imagination. With their years of being together, he knew all her likes and dislikes. When she was lounging at home, she didn’t like wearing bulky clothes or tight undergarments. The scene before him reminded him of the conversation they shared just before she departed on her last trip.“I won’t be long this time.”He had his hands on her hips and leaned against her in a very close angle. “I can’t wait to have you.”But soon afterwards, she was on he

Alyssa’s condominiumAlyssa Dawson pulled herself together and looked out of the window. It was pitch-dark, and the night scenery of the lighted skyscrapers in Neon City was breathtaking. She held the wine glass up to her cherry red lips and took a sip of the red wine, letting it permeate her throat drop by drop as her emptiness slowly overwhelmed her. Meanwhile, a breeze from the high altitude of the flat lifted the bottom of her short dress.It had been five days since she parted ways with that human male. Her chest was again itching. Itching to have a taste of the man’s warmth on her again. And she despised herself entirely for her weakness. The human mate, she told herself, could just be her indulgence, and not her Achilles heel.But just one thought about their union and she was already sensing the hotness between her legs. She blamed herself for letting him get so close to her.Aria’s voice nagged at her again.“Alyssa, you can’t hold back from it. We need him. He’s the man.”S

Nathaniel looked at the calm woman in his car and he thought for one long minute. Firstly, having a bond with one of the most capable young women in Neon City wasn’t something he could gloat about. For one, he was always the man in his relationship with Regina. Since the good old days, he was the one who was super sweet with her, cajoling her when she was afraid, or giving her feet a massage when she was tired after a long date.Then came the days when they both graduated and pursued their careers. He had secured a job following his internship at BX Co. Knowing that his meagre salary wouldn’t bring Regina happiness, and he had planned to propose to her at a later part in life, he tried harder and applied to bigger companies.That was when the former HR manager of AD Systems noticed him and roped him into joining on the spot. Immediately, he became a junior sales employee of AD, although everything for him was rather unbelievable at that point. He passed his probation period with flyin

The vehicle started rumbling again, much to her indignation. After her exhaustion earlier, Nat simply hadn’t given her ample time to rest and insisted they leave immediately. She was extremely disappointed. What she thought to be a ‘chilling session’ had turned out to be some escapade for herself. What’s more, she ended up at the mercy of the man she had coveted for herself. Yes, she hadn’t meant to mark him, but she had never anticipated it would come to this!A gigolo, who she only wanted his services for one night, turned out to have so many connections with her, the CEO of AD Systems, Corp. It was a good thing she was a puny werewolf because if she was a huge beast, he would have been dead by now. She vowed that in time, she would make him regret messing with her. But first things first. Once he signed the contract, she would have all the power she could over him!Now, she hadn’t expected that she, the haughty and independent CEO who was the youngest

At the dining table of Wisteria’s cottage, it suddenly felt very sombre.She could feel Nat’s blinding gaze on her as she kept her eyes on the plate in front of her. At the same time, his presence was enough to summon her desire. Aria was just as needy as she was, but she tried to calm herself and be patient.Nat wanted more than just their mate bond. He had a fearsome hatred toward werewolves, so as long as she could, she had to prevent him from finding out the truth about her. Otherwise, she might even die in Jave. The mystical village had wards that overpowered her werewolf power, furthermore, she was only a young wolf. She found her wolf ten years ago, but she had not undergone the training of a werewolf, and hence she didn’t know how to be one, much lead a pack.The events of the day before still remained fresh on her mind. Nat revealed the truth about the place being a bane for evil creatures, but the disdain in his voice raised her suspicion about his hatred for creatures of he
