Between dress shopping, getting attacked by alpha-holes, Shane claiming my virginity, and taking me back to his room I hadn’t had the chance to think about this stranger who I was supposed to be waiting and hoping for. Sure, I’ve thought about him, but I’ve never thought that I wanted to seek him out or sit pretty until he finds me. Shane chose me and I chose him. That’s the kind of love I want, that’s the kind of partner I want to be with. Someone who I choose, not who is chosen for me. Now that I’ve marked him and have been marked, you would think that I would panic at the idea of meeting my Goddess-chosen mate, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I don’t feel anything about him.I don’t care about finding him.“What about him? I’ve made my choice and I don’t regret it. I choose Shane,” I said firmly.“And I’m happy that you had a choice sis. I only want what’s best for you, you know that right?” Gabe asked seriously. I turned and looked at his side profile.“Yes,” I smiled

The doors closed and Odis pressed the button with the number four. It lit up and the elevator moved. We stood in awkward silence for what felt like forever. Gabe was usually the one who would break the silence but I’m sure he had a lot on his mind after meeting that woman downstairs.“I originally had your room on the second floor but you’ll be on the fourth floor with me. The fourth floor is for Betas and Gammas but I think my mate would prefer it if you were close,” Odis said gruffly.“That’s.. thoughtful of you. Thank you,” I said cautiously as I glanced at Gabe.“Of course. The Alpha stays on the fifth floor, we have other alphas staying there with their Luna’s, so please try to avoid going up there. He doesn’t take rule-breaking lightly. We have the Alpha’s children placed on the third floor,” Odis said as the elevator stopped and a chime was followed by the doors opening.Odis stepped off first, then Gabe, followed by me and Shane. He pulls the cards from earlier out from beneat

AdeaBefore I could wonder who would be at our door, large fingers ran through my hair and goosebumps broke out at the back of my neck as he caressed my hair. The feel of his fingers as they lightly scraped against my scalp was orgasmic and my eyes rolled to the back of my head. The question of who was at our door disappeared from my mind. There was something about Shane that demanded all of your attention.My eyes flew opened and I gasped as he wrapped my hair around his hand like he’d done this a million times before and tugged. My neck was strained and my chin lifted as the movement guided. Obsidian eyes stared back at me as he parted his lips and opened his mouth slightly. He was just so damn sexy. I bit my lip and swallowed as I did as he asked, opening my lips for him. His eyes lit up with approval as they tracked the movement and I clenched my thighs together at the warmth that pooled between my legs. My selfish pussy demanded him now even though we both knew he’d tear us apart

Hot water slowly rose over my legs, Shane’s and torso as I leaned my head against his chest. I couldn’t figure out why I felt this way or why he said what he did. His words didn’t make sense but the harder I tried to understand, the more my head hurt. Only when I stopped did the pain subside. I felt lightheaded and dizzy as he caressed my hair and back. I don’t know how long we sat in the tub until I was mostly submerged in water and he turned the faucet off. The sound of his breathing was comforting but as my mind cleared, I became aware of every inch of his body that touched mine. My breathing became erratic as my fingers caressed his abs. My nipples hardened as droplets of water dripped down my neck.“When you touch me like that, it makes it hard for me to just sit here with you,” Shane murmured. Pretending not to hear him, my fingers trailed lower, barely touching him. Skipping over his hardness, I took my time caressing his thighs and my mouth watered as they tensed beneath my to

AdeaA blood-covered sword, blood dripping down my legs, chains that burned, and cold green eyes. A touch I didn’t want, a broken promise, and cold metal at my back. I woke up with a strangled cry, and the sheet dropped down around my waist as I sat up in bed. The dream was already forgotten, but the emotion still raw. My heart still bled from something I couldn’t remember.It felt as if my soul had been sucked from my body and my heart torn from my chest. I gulped for air as if a hand were still wrapped around my neck, and goosebumps broke out along my arms as a ghost kissed down my chest. A shiver ran down my back as I tried to shake off the feeling.I wrapped my arms around myself protectively, my fingers trembling, and slid them up my chest. My brows furrowed, and I squeezed my eyes tight as I clung desperately to the fragments of my nightmare. The memories slipped through my fingers like sand, leaving nothing but glimpses of a dream that were quickly fading, weighing heavily on m
