After he left from that rose garden, leaving her alone, Aereza aggressively wiped her mouth with the back of her sleeves and then looked for her sword. She found it laying on the ground. Dashing towards it, Aereza kneeled down and grabbed it. His crimson blood had stained its edge completely. Gritting her teeth, Aereza got up on her feet and stormed inside her chamber through that door from which she had come outside. Entering inside that chamber, Aereza started cleaning her sword with her clothes. His blood disgusted her. She loathed it. She hated his closeness. She despised his very existence. Her thoughts turned so aggressive that it stopped her other senses from working. She started cleaning the sword with her bare hands. She just wanted to wipe away each and every drop of his blood. Aereza vigorously started rubbing the sword and ended up piercing her hand with it. A hiss escaped from her mouth as soon as she felt that sharp stinging sensation on her palm. Aereza looked at her

He started licking the place of her mark with his tongue, making her shudder. Aereza felt his other palm cupping her bare core. In pure panic, Aereza looked around for something to save herself from him. Her eyes caught a lamp stand which was placed on a table beside the bed. Stretching her hand, she grabbed that lamp stand and when she felt his canines grazing against her skin, she hitted the back of his head with that lamp stand as hard as she could. She heard him loudly growling in pain and it ached something inside her. That same foreign sensation which started emerging deep from her inside after hearing his painful growl but no, all of this was wrong. She could not let him harm her like that. Aereza again hitted him with that lamp stand with even more ferocity this time and on that same exact place on his head. He slightly pulled back and looked into her glossy eyes. Blood started dripping from all over his head and fell on her face. Aereza noticed his glowering orbs got fill

Aereza felt his lips slowly devouring her mouth, like he was trying to save every moment of it. This time his actions felt extremely tender and gentle unlike before. His mouth alluringly caressed her lips, making that unknown sensation to again start awakening inside her. Aereza felt like something inside her purred in pleasure when he started wiping his warm tongue all over her mouth. Her heart shuddered in ecstasy but that little remaining sanity inside her head was telling her to push him away. That this was utterly wrong, no matter how good and right it was feeling. Clutching his shoulders, she tried to push him away but this time, even her force felt reluctant to her own self, like she had lost her strength to even push him away from her or maybe, she had lost her desire to part their shipping bodies. When Darren felt her reluctant attempts to push him away, his wolf purred in joy because even Thunder could feel his mate was now resisting her thoughts of pushing him away from h

Their eyes met for a while. Aereza noticed something flashing in his gaze but before she could comprehend it, he turned around and walked away from there without saying anything. She had expected him to say something but he didn't and his silence confirmed that he had heard her words for him. Good for him because he needed to know the consequences of touching her without her consent but then why was it bothering her so much that he had left in complete silence? Exhaling a heavy sigh, Aereza turned around and found Viviana still there, staring at her. "I don't know whether I should feel pity for you that even after knowing what exactly you are to him, you are neglecting him," her words held a taunt which angered Aereza, especially the fact that he had told her everything regarding her being his mate."You know how many women and girls just ache to get his attention in this castle and even outside it but just look at you….""Maybe that must be the reason he is aching for my attention,

"Won't you kiss Darren, A..Aeza?" Aereza froze at her place, hearing that little boy's question who was staring at her with his doe eyes which were filled with nothing except innocence. For him, his words were innocuous just as he was but only if she could tell that little boy that it was everything but innocent for his dear Alpha Darren because when Aereza tilted her head to look at him, she found a sinister teasing igniting in those amber eyes of his after he heard little Ellais's asking that innocent question to her. Aereza sent him a glare secretly because she knew he was more than enjoying it. "Aeza…." Aereza heard that little kid who was now pulling on her nightgown with his tiny hand to gain her attention. She looked down at him and found him staring at her with his curiosity filled eyes. "Will you k…kiss Darren like you give kisses to Ellais and Lily?" He asked her in his adorably soft tone. Not just him, even his tiny kitten, Lily, was also staring at her, like she was ev
