"You're telling me you didn't have sex with him last night?" Eve asked, dumbfounded. Her blonde hair shone under the sunlight streaming into my room from her spot on the window next to the balcony. Yes, you read that right. My room. After Ares and I got back from our date last night, he gave me a room right next to his. In his words, he has never shared a bed with anyone and I would hardly make a difference. I guess he was back to being mean. But I didn't object, instead, I gave him a big grin and a kiss on his cheek before walking into my new room. Lenny's eyes were wide open as she shrieked. "What are we missing here, Akira?!" I laughed, sitting upright on my very soft King-sized bed. "I guess he wanted to be a gentleman?" "Lycans are everything but gentle." Lenny deadpanned. "You should know that by now. I expected you to call us here asking for advice on how to walk with a sore pussy or how to cover up your hickey, but definitely not on how to ask your mate to let you see

AKIRA'S POV I had felt just about every emotion that came from Ares. But the emotions I was feeling now were heavy– glaring. It ranged from hurt to disappointment and then to anger. The anger was more prominent. It was pumping through my veins, fast. And it was what woke me up from unconsciousness. And it was all my fault. If only I had listened. I inhaled slowly as I tried to figure out where I was with my eyes shut. I was on a bed– that, I figured. But there was someone here, someone who wasn't Ares was sitting very close to me. Although I knew Ares was in the room also. I gasped in pain and my eyes shot open when I felt pressure on my wound. I looked beside me to find the culprit and it was Madam Yelena. She gave me a sad smile. "Akira, how do you feel now?" My eyes roamed around the room and in my peripheral gaze, I saw Ares standing next to the vanity stand in my room. He was sitting on the edge of it, with his hands folded and he was looking right at me. I quick

AKIRA'S POV I woke up to the weight of a heavy arm on me. It was almost dawn, I slowly removed Ares's arm before going to the bathroom to do my business. As he promised, I was very much sore. All part of me. My muscles were screaming as I walked around and my vagina was also protesting. After fucking me once, I had thought Ares would let me sleep but I was wrong. He fucked me twice after and I had tapped out when my poor clitoris couldn't take it anymore. Done, I quickly brushed my teeth and as I looked into the mirror to clean my face, my eyes subconsciously went to the mark on my neck. I brushed my fingers over it and was shocked to still feel the electricity coursing through my body. I quickly washed my face before going to the closet to put on one of Ares's shirts and sweatpants. Looking at Ares sleeping peacefully on the bed, I smiled as I recalled how he kept us awake throughout the night. And it was all worth it. The man sleeping like a baby on the bed was diffe

AKIRA'S POV Immediately after I woke up the next morning, I was ordered by Cara to dress up so I can properly meet the Alpha of their pack. Alpha Pierson was nothing I expected. I didn't even know what I expected but it was not an old, well-built man with the kind eyes of a father. Alpha Pierson exuded warmth and kindness. And he listened patiently as I told him the same story that I told the guards at the border. I mastered the act of crying and made sure my tears were nonstop as I begged him to take me back to my family. "Where did you live before you were kidnapped?" Alpha Pierson asked. His voice was authoritative and firm, almost fatherly-like. I sniffled as I wiped my tears. "Lake-town. I don't know how far it is from here but I really just want to go back home to my Nana, Alpha Pierson." He nodded thoughtfully. "I'll have Eli and Lucian find more about your town and by dawn tomorrow you should be with your family." The thumping of my heart couldn't have been any lo

AKIRA'S POV The pounding of my head woke me up from unconsciousness but it was the pain in my shoulders that jerked me up. The pain was like needles that had been dipped in alcohol had been jammed through my skin. I winced– trying so hard to contain my sobs– as I tried to study my surroundings. I was on a bed, it was small and I was covered with a soft quilt. I looked around, my pounding head was trying so hard to figure out where I was. The room was scanty, with only a bed, a wardrobe planted next to the wall and a mirror dresser in the corner of the room. The room was really small. I struggled to stand up and once I did, I made my way to the small window in the room and peeked outside. I couldn't contain my shock once I saw what was outside and a gasp escaped. It was so green outside, the small compound was filled with plants and beds of flowers. It almost looked like a fairytale with the way the sun was shining down on them. The owner seemed like they were really obsessed with
