Already getting tired of being cooped up all day in his room, I made for the door, shutting it with a click. I came out, making sure to look both ways in case of a passerby. I wouldn’t want to start a controversy even before I was introduced to the pack. I made my way to the stairs, taking them two at a time. I was just basically going anywhere my steps led me, and if I was lucky, I was hoping to bump into Harry. I got to the first floor and decided to take a look, but immediately I looked inside the corridor, I had a change of heart. The hall was filled with people, mostly teenagers and young people roaming about. It was loud, with music blasting from one room, a complete contrast to the Alpha’s wing. I wasn’t going to risk it, so I moved on. On getting to the ground floor, I made my way to the refrigerator to get a drink, feeling energized as I gulped the cold liquid. Following the scent of chicken to the kitchen (get it, chicken, kitchen), I got to where they were preparing food.

"You have a lot of explaining to do, Richard! What am I hearing about a new girl?" An angry female voice snarled. It was coming from the hallway, and she was making her way towards us very fast. Before long, the door opened with a bang, and a mature woman emitting a lot of power and anger walked in, her eyes scanning the room, looking for her target. There was no doubt that it was Richard's mother. He got his brown hair from her, and the delicate features too. Although she was on the shorter side, just reaching Richard's shoulders. She seemed like a force to reckon with. "Mom! What are you doing here? How did you get here?" "What did you think my legs were for? Just because I am old doesn't mean I am an invalid. And don't you dare try to change the topic." I decided to introduce myself to try and take the heat off him. "Good evening, ma'am." I curtsied, just like we do back at home when we greet people older than us. She looked at me strangely, not at all pleased at the intrusion

I entered the hall and noticed that the dining room was already filled with people; hungry people, all seated patiently waiting for food. "Bella!" A loud voice called out in my direction. It was Jessica, and she was waving at me in such a crazy way that I was afraid it would fall. I felt my face flush as several heads turned towards me. "I saved a seat for you." She continued in a loud voice, patting the chair beside her. I marched to the chair she patted, trying to prevent further attention. But it was too late. Numerous eyes were following my every move. Everyone was curious about the fresh meat who had made friends with the Alpha's sister. I got to the chair and threw myself on it, wishing I could vanish. The attention was taken away from me when the food arrived. This is strange. No one waited for the Alpha before they started eating. I kept glancing at his seat in between bites, wondering where he could be by this time that he couldn't come for breakfast. Sophia was sitting w

I was doomed! Behold my arch-enemy in flesh! Right next to me! ... I wonder what she will be thinking, seeing me with another man. This will just further cement her claims that I am a whore, thereby unsuitable for her son. And nothing I can say now will change her mind. "Luna Betty." I also bowed my head, showing my respect. I may have been physically present, but my mind was working on ways in which I would be able to get out of this mess. A bead of sweat rolled down from my face to the tile. I couldn’t tell if it was the heat or if it was due to nervousness. Or probably both. "Harry!" she replied in an overly cheerful manner, and I was quite certain she did it to spite me. "What brought you here?" "I came to visit Gamgam." "That is so sweet of you. I hope she is doing well. I should go and see her whenever I have the chance." She continued in that sickening voice. Okay, this woman is good. She got me to believe for a second that she was actually nice. "Meanwhile, this is my frie

I pounced on the body close to me, rubbing myself on the person like a Cheshire cat. The scent of CITRUS was very strong in the room. It was Richard, and he has finally come. A smile formed on my lips at that thought. Finally, he was here. I moved closer to the source of heat, digging my nose into his neck and inhaling all of him. I took a deep breath as I inhaled that musky scent of his. I have missed this. The heat began to flare in her ugly head in response to her mate’s scent. I moved closer to Richard until I was so close to him that I could feel every contour of his body. I threw one of my legs over him while my fingers went under his clothes, running through his bare chest, smoothing the spare air that was there. I dragged my hands down, trailing a line from his chest down to his waist. I felt a thin material, he was clad in only his boxers. I ran my hands over the thin material, feeling something obstructing my hands. Curiosity got the better of me and I grabbed onto the obj
