ClarissaDacre had handed over my phone back to me after saving his number while I was melting because of his words. I could still feel his breath upon me and I took a moment to calm down my racing heart. I decided to go in and wash my face while the mystery which Dacre had posed me with keep churning in my brain.‘What had I asked him?’I groaned in frustration and tried to replay the events of the night at the pub in my head over and over again. Cool water splashed on my face as I looked at my reflection. My make up had mostly worn out and my hair was sticking out from all the directions.Goddess, I had been roaming around like a homeless person. I scrubbed my face and hands hard and got rid of the makeup and dust and smoothed my hair as much as I could.It would do me good to change my clothes and I knew that Talia must have found a dozen dresses for both of us already. That was an advantage of having a twin sister who loved shopping. She knew my size, she knew my taste and she al

Clarissa“Wh-what do you mean?”Dacre asked and I noticed the way his voice faltered… he truly sounded afraid for the first time ever since he had walked into our villa.“Yes, I know the rumors. I know your mother passed away after your father tried to give her various potions, supplements, and what not to make her bear a child. She could not and then she withered slowly, the guilt of not being able to bear an heir to the pack while your father went to some whorehouse and you were born.”Dacre clenched his fist and I could see the muscles in his jaw twitch when dad said that. This was news to me. And a shocking one at that!I had no idea if what dad was saying was true and how he could have found this out but it looked like Dacre had been punched right in the gut. His face said so.“That-that is not true”Dacre said and my father turned around. “Well, it may or may not be true. I haven’t dug deep into it but I know that there might be some truth to it. You are not a true alpha pair’s

DacreI am not sure what had made me blurt out everything in front of Clarissa. But, somehow I had told the most painful memory of my life.Nor did I want to think about my offer or what had made me say that. She was not a heavenly beauty that I had never cast my eyes on before. She was just a regular girl with brown hair, a small waist, and breasts that needed a lot of sucking and nibbling…Ahem.Shadow coughed delicately and I glared at him. I could start a mental fight with him and put the blame for all my sinful thoughts on him but I had no energy to fight him.My cock was straining in my pants and I needed to breathe hard to relax myself.This girl was far more than a distraction…she was a drug I craved for and kept coming back to no matter how much I tried to leave her behind.And with our arrangement, things were going to get spicier. I was going to take my sweet time torturing her and try to understand why did she affect me so much.I let out a breath and my eyes flicked to t

ClarissaWith that in mind, I decided to go look for dad. The study room’s light was on and I believed that dad was inside, probably working on something. I tiptoed my way toward the room after throwing a look at my parent’s bedroom to ensure that mom was sleeping.When I was sure enough that she was asleep, I slowly tiptoed my way toward the study and saw that door was slightly ajar.I sneaked in, careful to not let the curtains rustle due to my movements. My father’s study was almost like a library with loads of books and tomes that were all neatly stacked upon the rows that lined through the walls.Right in the center was a broad mahogany table with lots of books scattered, a few scrolls, and stationery.A small table lamp was placed upon it and a broad map was thrown open on it. My dad was bent upon it, his face scrunched in concentration.He rested his face on one of his hands by propping his elbow on the desk, a pencil twirling in his other hand. “What do you think of the shado

ClarissaThe night passed in a blur as I tossed and turned in the bed. Beside me, I could hear Talia’s light snores and I recalled whatever she had told me.Would that really help Dacre? And most of all would he survive the trial? Just who were these shadow assassins and what did they want?Too many questions were whirling in my head to make any sense or let me be at peace. My eyes kept flicking to the clock and somehow the night turned into day and I sprang up from my bed, feeling too restless to do anything else.I went in for a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and changed into blue jeans and a white blouse. I shook Talia who gave a startled cry.“Get up you sleeping beauty”Talia stifled a yawn but before she could say anything, I dragged her out of the bed and literally shoved her into the bathroom.I pulled out my phone and thought of calling Dacre first. I would have mind-linked him but I was yet to shift so I had to contact him the old fashioned way.I was about to call him but
