Dean: “What are you here for this time?” My sister asked, without looking at me, not bothering to get up from the couch that she was sitting on. Her back faced me, and I had to fight back letting out a low growl at her attitude as I kept Arianna’s words in mind. Her heart raced against her chest, and I could tell that she was worried about the outcome of her attitude, my own quietness, and everything that had happened. However, I knew that I wasn’t going to anger her. I had a mate that I still had to win over and the last thing that I wanted or needed was to drive her away from me because I was choosing to be stubborn. Maybe she was the voice of conscience that I needed, or maybe it was just how things were supposed to be. She was the emotional part, the softer one, the more gentle, and I the emotionless, the demon who knew the difference between right and wrong with no remorse needed. Regardless of the fact, I was just thankful for the way that she spoke to me. “The door will be

Dean: I kept my eyes on Arianna, waiting for her response before she turned to face me. Her naked skin touched mine as she laid on top of me, and though I knew that taking a shower before bed was needed, the two of us often found it somewhat pleasing to lay in one another’s arms as we spoke. “The main question is, would you want to do so?” She asked, shaking her head. “Please don’t get me wrong, but I know that you would have wanted to kill me for what I did.” “Why would you think that?” I asked, and she smiled. “You know exactly why, Dean.” She said, her voice softening for a second before leaning in to connect her lips with mine. “For what it is worth, and to answer your question, I would love to be your mate, truly your mate. But I know that the two of us need to cross so many things before that happens, and though it hurts to some extent, I know that I have to be patient. Plus, there is the fact that my own pack members would either be looking for me, or know of what happened

Dean: “Who did it?” I asked, shaking my head at Viktor who pinched the bridge of his nose. The fact that he was actually waiting here when the security team reported him was something that astounded me, and I couldn’t help but find myself growing curious about what this person had in mind. If anything, he didn’t even fight back, at least, as far as I understood. “We still aren’t sure where he came from, but he is not from here.” He said, nodding at the man who was sitting on one of the chairs, tied to it. His eyes met mine and I raised an eyebrow. “Alpha.” He said, and I shook my head at the man, curious about how he had the guts to even speak when he was in such a situation. “I take it that you are wondering who I am.” “You can hear me, idiot. The fact that the two of us were talking right in front of you is proof enough,” “He is a mute, Alpha.” Viktor said, making me frown. “The man understands us by reading our lips, but he doesn’t hear a word that we are saying.” The man

Dean: I entered the bedroom and smiled when I saw Arianna sitting on the bed, scrolling through her phone. Her eyes met mine for a second before she got up and walked toward me. “Hey,” she said, running her finger over my chest. The pain that I felt as I looked at her, knowing that I was hiding a lot from her, a lot that concerned her, was something that I couldn’t deny. But I also knew the risk of her finding out about what I knew, and it was one that I was not willing to take. “Hi, baby,” I said, smiling at her. She smiled and purred at the nickname. I kissed the crown of her head, and pulled away to look her in the eye. “How are the two of you doing?” “We’re doing well.” She said, making my heart skip a beat as she took my hand in hers. She put it over her swelling stomach, and I couldn’t help but smile as I started hearing the baby’s heartbeat. It was something that we couldn’t do last week, and that was something that I was more than excited about. “And we’re growing a littl

Dean: “So, do you want to tell me what you and mom were talking about? Or would I have to drag it out of you?” I asked, wrapping my arms around my mate. The fact that I caught sight of the painkiller with mom was something that I couldn’t drop. However, I knew better than to confront her, and though I did wish that mom didn’t lie to me, I knew very well that she was always one to hide her pain from everyone. “Can’t a girl and your mother talk about shopping without you assuming that something was wrong?” She asked, raising an amused eyebrow at me. I tightened my grip around her waist, and she arched her back gently before I shook my head at her. Her answer alone was enough to tell me that she was well aware of what was going on, and the fact that she was avoiding it was not something that I liked. “The two of us know very well that something is going on. But whatever it is, you are choosing to hide it from me.” I said, and she shook her head. She smiled and put her hands on my shi
