“Are you nuts?” He asked me with wide eyes. “How can you be showering for more than thirty minutes?”I was confused. “What?”“This is the east, Babe. We ration our water supply here. Turn off the shower now.”“For the last time, it’s Jade, not Babe,” I said testily and shut off the water.“Sorry,” he said sheepishly. “Are you done? I need to wash off too.”I was too surprised to respond. I had been so sure that he had barged into the bathroom to rape me but here he was, barely looking at my body. His eyes have been glued to mine since he came in.“What?” He asked me as I stared at him.I smiled. “Nothing,” I said and stepped out of the shower stall. “Yes, I’m done. The shower is all yours.”“Cool. Your dress is in my mother’s room. It’s old but I’m sure it will do for now.”“Thanks,” I said and left the bathroom.I strode to his mother’s bedroom and was pleasantly surprised by the room. It had more collections of unique gifts, paintings and exotic rugs from cities far away.There were

I lost my temper when Dominic mentioned my son. How dare he? How dare he disrespect the memory of my son like that?Without even thinking about it, I shifted into my wolf form so swiftly that I caught the Betas by surprise. I was instantly free from their grip and they were staring at me in awe.I did a quick U-turn and headed in Dominic’s direction. My fangs were bared and I was ready to tear him apart limb by limb!He didn’t move. He just stood there waiting for me to come at him. Waiting for me to make my move. He wanted to see what I got.I jumped at him, aiming for his throat but he caught me before I could pounce on him. He grabbed me by my neck and hauled me off. I crashed into the seats on the left side of the room.The Betas rushed towards me but he called them off immediately.“Leave her alone,” he said to them. “She’s mine. Let her come to me.”His confidence pissed me off. I ran toward him again and when I jumped at him, he tried to throw me away with the same move but I w

A petite blond walked in with the signature River Pack cheerful smile. She was carrying a bag that looked too heavy for her to bear. She dropped it beside my bed.“Hi, I’m Paula,” she said cheerfully. “I am one of Andrew’s assistants. He wanted me to show you these dresses so that you can choose the one you like the most. He can’t wait for you to introduce you to Grant and Alana.”“Grant and Alana?” I asked.“Yes. His parents,” she explained.“You mean the Alpha and the Luna of the River Pack?”“Yeah. We don’t go by formal titles here,” she said. “We like to see ourselves as equals even though everyone knows their positions and duties.”“Nice,” I said. I wasn’t impressed but that wasn’t important now.“Let me see them,” I said and Paula opened the bag.There were different pretty dresses in it made of various luxurious fabrics. They reminded me of the clothes in Sahid’s mother’s house.A sad smile crossed my face when I remembered the Lycan pimp. I hoped I’d get a chance to see him ag

They turned to look at me and Luna Alana raised an eyebrow once she saw me. She was a plain-looking woman with big bones. Her black hair was streaked with stands of grey.Her husband on the other hand was an older version of Andrew. He was handsome and charismatic. He grinned when he saw me.“So, we finally get to meet the she-wolf who has swept Andrew off his feet,” he said.“It was the other way around,” I laughed nervously. “He swept me off my feet. Literally.”Alana scoffed and rolled her eyes. I didn’t need a sorceress to tell me that the Luna didn’t like me. No surprise there!“Please, join us,” said Alpha Grant.Andrew pulled out a chair for me to sit down. I nearly blushed at the gentlemanly gesture. I can’t remember ever being treated with this level of respect by a man before. Especially one that hasn’t been intimate with me.I was sitting directly opposite Alana and beside Grant. The Alpha’s welcoming aura put me at ease. However, when I looked at Alana, I saw her watching

This wasn’t just lovemaking, it felt like a reunion of long-lost lovers. We are physically strangers but our souls knew each other. I was climaxing and shedding tears of joy. This was by far the most beautiful experience of my entire existence.As he reached orgasm, Rowan locked himself inside me, pouring his seed into me. We latched onto each other, our eyes staring into one another as we climbed the peak together.I didn’t want this glorious moment to end, but when it did, I felt deeply satisfied. It was as if a gaping hole inside my soul has finally been filled up.“That was amazing,” I whispered to him.He smiled at me and said, “I felt it too.”Rowan cuddled me and we lay together in silence. The sun had fully risen now and we could hear the activities going on around the palace.I felt a burst of happiness rise within me. I have finally found my person. I never wanted to be with anyone else ever again!“What is your name?” He asked me. I felt the rumble in his chest when he spok
