Ethan's POVI rushed out of the room as quickly as possible and took a deep breath. I thought I had finally overcome it but the memories keep flooding back. This is exactly why I don't want her too close to me.Just now when Esme had tried to feed me, I had a flashback of Tanika and I.It happened years ago, when Tanika and I had been dating. I was madly in love with her at the time and would often let her do as she pleased.It was on a normal day, I had been out hunting with some members of the Pack but it was an unsuccessful hunt, we didn't return with much so most of us were in a sour mood, me included.I was used to being successful in everything I did so I felt incompetent and took it out on my partner during training.I was catching my breath during time out when Tanika suddenly sneaked up on me. I got into a defensive position and was able to stop myself from harming her in time.She asked if I had eaten yet and I knew she would scold me if I told her the truth so I said nothin

Ethan's POV I had my guess. I knew that Alpha Edgar would probably be responsible for my attack since he is one of the few lucky people who has yet to taste my wrath. He is one proud jerk and I had put him in his place by not only claiming my mate but by teaching him some manners so he's obviously out for revenge. This made me snicker. At least now I have a good enough reason to obliterate the entire pack. He's the one who imprisoned and tortured my mate her whole life and he still has the guts to try to kill her while she's in my care. Now that I'm sure that he's responsible, I will be sending him a befitting reply. I'll show no mercy this time, not even for babies. I took a look at myself in the mirror and sighed. My body is made up of fifty percent of scar tissue and these scars are a reminder of who I am and what my goal in life is. I quickly dressed into fresh clothes and dried my hair. It's already nightfall. It's been one heck of a day. After leaving Esme's room due to my

Esme's POVI released a yawn as I snuggled further into my pillow, it was warm but strangely hard at the same time and it smelt really nice. It probably just needs a little padding.I moved my hand over to my pillow and felt something instead. Skin?I finally pushed aside the tiredness and got up and what I saw nearly made me scream out my lungs.My scream seemed to have alerted him as he instantly got up in a defensive position but he relaxed when he saw that it was just me."What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you screaming like that so early in the morning?" He questioned, his bed hair making it difficult for me to take him seriously.I tightened my hands around the blanket over my chest, quickly lowering my gaze to the bed as my face turned red in an instant. This is so embarrassing.Since the both of us are naked, we slept on the same bed and were obviously snuggling before I ruined the moment, does that mean that we…….But how is that possible? How did it even happen? I hav

Esme's POVI somehow managed to get Ethan to drop the war idea. He's not happy about it but I'm glad that he heeded my request.I also don't want him to kill Alpha Edgar since he's the only family that Kira has and I don't want to take that away from her.I'll never be able to forget her kindness to me over the years. If not for her, I would probably be dead a long time ago. I always wondered how I would repay her and now I'll return her kindness by sparing the life of her uncle.Ethan agreed to grant forgiveness to Alpha Edgar and the rest of my Pack this one time and promised that he would not spare Alpha Edgar the next time he tried a stunt like that and I agreed to that.I just hope he's satisfied and doesn't try to harm me again, for Kira's sake at least.A few days have already passed and I haven't seen Ethan. He's probably still mad at me for stopping him from going to war. I've recuperated fully so I can finally return back to trying to win his heart.I went to the Kitchen an

"Please….. please stop this, I'm begging you. I don't want to lose it like this, please don't do this." I cried out and he suddenly paused.He stared at me straight in the eyes for a few minutes, as if searching for something before he finally sighed and got off of me.I sat up quickly and picked up the blanket, wrapping it around myself.I gazed at Ethan, his back was turned to me. "What the fuck was I just about to do?!" I heard him groan as he ran a hand through his hair.I don't even know what to make of any of this. Just now he seemed like he was a different person, almost like he was possessed but now he seems……repentant?"Is everything……" I tried to see if he was OK but he suddenly cut me off."Just get out please. Why won't you listen to me and stay away? Just now I almost did something we both would have regretted. Don't test me, just leave." He said and it almost sounded like he was pleading with me.Something seemed to have come over him before but he regained his self cont
