BARBARAThe music of loud party dancing filled my ears. I rested my forearms on the bar counter, crossing my milky legs on top of the other as I felt several pairs of eyes all over me at this very moment. I could feel them leave traces of lust and desire as their eyes traveled all the way down to the spot in between my legs, but I couldn't bring myself to give two shits when my body is trembling out of pure, delicious excitement. Although it was short-lived. The sudden feeling of his crotch grazing my belly at that time left a spark which triggered something deep within. An overwhelming desire and want I haven't been able to feel for somebody else. Well, except for one particular man. I downed my drink the next second his face popped up into my head.Sigh."Hey, can I buy you a drink?" A tall well-muscled man with the blonde hair and ocean blue eyes looking like in his late twenties swiftly landed his ass on the seat right next to me. His flirtatious smile and narcissistic appeal only

ALEXANDERI sniff the air, my brows furrowing at the smell of arousal mixed with Eleanor's scent. 'Aphrosidiac!' Loki rumbles and sends a furious growl to reverberate in my chest. "Eleanor. Why do you--" Eleanor's head drops on my shoulder as I turn to examine her face.Her cheeks blushed red, her eyes clenched and her mouth releasing soft, breathy moans, making me lick my lips and think of devouring her top to bottom."Alpha, is everything alright?" The driver asks, peering at our reflection on the front-view mirror."No, keep driving. Fast." I ordered.He nodded before stepping on the gas.I held Eleanor in my arms, watching her pant as she tried to take off all her clothes, shifting into several positions in her seat. "A-Alex.." She reaches for my cheek but I caught her hand, shaking my head at her."Eleanor you have to endure it. We're almost home," I tell her but her ears seemed closed. She wasn't hearing anything I was saying to her, and I stopped trying to reach for her unde

ELEANORAlexander wipes away my tears as he gives me a confused look.I smile at him, shaking my head as if nothing happened. I drop my eyes to my lower body before glancing up at his handsome face. His platinum blonde hair all messed up however it did nothing to compromise his deathly handsome appearance.I gulp before parting my lips, feeling his intense gaze on me, most especially my body sticking out in his room, half-naked. My cheeks flushed red, and I turn my head to the side, averting my eyes from his knowing I wouldn’t be able to hold his stare for too long.“C-Can I ask you something?”“I’m all ears, princess” He says softly, staring down at me while I twirl my hair around my finger nervously.“Did something happen between us... last night?” I ask bashfully, completely ignoring his gaze penetrating me to the core.For a moment, he didn’t say a word, and I began to wonder whether he heard me or not.I hear him chuckle lightly before he said, “If you’re worried about that, then

37 VERONYKA A day after the Royal Winder’s dinner, I sit at the table across Elijah. He cleared his throat before munching down on his extra-large burrito. who seem to have a problem with me since the guy had been avoiding me since that day he followed me into the forest. As much as I wanted to shield my eyes from his blinding charisma oozing off him this moment, apparently I still am that same lazy badass Veronyka who does not bow her head down to anybody nor shy away from any man even if they strip themselves naked in front of me, especially if it was Elijah. The thought suddenly made me shiver. Not long after, I felt an intense heat burn across my skin. My face flushed and it subsequently forced me to rip my gaze off his wide, bulky chest. I squeezed my legs together while desperately trying to take an inappropriate image out of my mind. It had popped into my brain not too longer after I fixed my eyes on his annoyingly handsome face. His eyes, his lips. The way his muscles flexe

ELEANOR Three days. Three whole days had passed since the shower incident I had with Alex. That day, he walked out of the shower room. Smiling all while he was telling me he understood why I kind of rejected him. He had given me the chance to enjoy my own privacy though. But why was it that all of a sudden, the hot shower felt…freezing cold? He left me there to be at peace with myself, but ironically, how I felt while I was alone in there was the exact opposite of peace. It was horrible. I felt horrible. Like I was the most unfortunate person to be cursed in this werewolf world. To be the ultimate, complete and total freak of the pack, the wolf-less freak at that. To be discarded like a piece of useless garbage by my own parents. Just so I could fulfill a certain goal I was set to achieve since that fateful night. Right after I turned out to be the cursed blood wolf. And as if that was not bad enough, I was forced to live with a man I can never be with regardless of whether he is m
