I opened my eyes and frowned at the unfamiliar room.It was only a second before his scent hit me like a ton of bricks and the memories of the last 24 hours came rushing back to me.I sank deeper into the soft mattress that smelled like him and a smile graced my lips as I remembered how gentle he had been with me last night.I couldn't tell what had gotten into him but whatever it was, let me see the side of him I'd never seen before and I was certain not many people had had the privilege to.Our conversation with each other last night had been civil and one would think we were friends.I wish we were.He was a lot more tolerable when he wasn't looking like he was about to kill someone and I caught myself wanting to see that part of him more often.He had even smiled.Not a cocky smirk or an evil smile, an actual one that let me get a glimpse of his perfect dentition.I hated to admit it but he was a very handsome man and I felt something strange whenever I was with him.The door was

I stared blankly at the open space in front of me as different thoughts raced through my mind as I absentmindedly played with a lint on my sweatshirt.The side of my closet that was filled with black and white was cleared and now replaced with colorful clothings of different varieties and when I asked why, all I got in response was “Alpha's orders.”So far, my plan at getting back to my old life seemed futile because Jason suddenly doesn't come around anymore.I hadn't seen him since that day at the funeral and for the first time since then, I regretted letting my emotions get the best of me.I should have seized the opportunity and made sure I spoke to him.Maybe if I'd done that instead of getting shit-faced drunk and kissing a stranger, I would have been out of this place that seemed to be impairing my mental health.Speaking of the reason why, it had been three days since I last set my eyes on him.Since he asked me out of his room that morning.I had tried to be nonchalant about

A little while after she left, the wind picked up and the strong feeling of being watched enveloped me and goosebumps rose on my skin.I scanned the whole area quickly and saw I was alone but I didn't stop feeling that way and I couldn't tell if it was paranoia from what Candice told me.Not wanting to wait and find out if someone was actually lurking in the shadows or not, I stood up and limped into the house.I wasn't scared but I knew if it boiled down to a fight, I would lose squarely and it would be stupid to stay and find out.As soon as I entered the house, my stomach churned in hunger and every other thought in my mind came to a halt.I walked into the kitchen and fixed a quick breakfast and immediately as I was done eating, the thoughts came rushing back to me.Maybe I should talk to Candice again.She probably knows something.Or maybe she doesn't and is just traumatized by the death of her sister and thinks everyone is a culprit.This reminded me that I was yet to figure ou

I walked back to my room in deep thoughts.Too much had been said in the last hour and it was mind boggling.I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed softly.I walked to the bed and laid down, trying to get some sleep.It was still morning and I had woken up not long ago but there was really nothing else to do around here.None of the maids let me do anything and being this idle was messing with my mind.After a few minutes of tossing and turning hopelessly on the bed, I sat up with a groan.I looked around and my eyes landed on the book I had been trying to read last night.I picked it up and opened to the page with the bookmark.I was stuck on one page for twenty minutes, reading and rereading one line but nothing could stick or make any sense to me.“Ughhh,” I groaned, feeling the urge to pull out my hair from my head.Closing the romance book that was doing nothing but cause me a migraine, I dropped it on the table, a bit harder than I usually would.Nothing was working.I cou

Ares' povShe laid peacefully on my bed, wrapped underneath the sheets with her hair sprawled out around her.My grip on the knob tightened as I took in the sight in front of me.Closing the door quietly so as not to wake her up, I walked towards her without making a sound.Indeed, she was sleeping with her lips parted lightly.I held my breath as she moved, probably to find a more comfortable spot and after a while, she sank deeper into the mattress.A lot of questions floated through my mind but I just stood there and watched the sleeping beauty in my bed.After a while, I walked into the bathroom to take my bath, thankful that it was soundproof so I wouldn't wake her and I let my fist do the job no woman seemed to be able to do.The thought of her laying on my bed just a few feet away from me sent me over the edge and in no time, my palm was filled with my release.Resting my head on the wall, I focused on regulating my breathing before rinsing my hand and body.Wrapping the towel

“Candice! Candice!” I called out to her and hastened my footsteps to meet her but she didn't stop walking.“Candice!” I tapped her shoulder when I finally got to her and she whipped her head quickly and for a second, fear flashed through her eyes.“It's just me,” I said softly, raising my hands slightly in the air.She heaved a sigh and placed a hand on her chest, probably to calm her heartbeat.“You scared me,” she said, her breaths coming out ragged and forced.“Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you,” I apologized even though I was confused as to why she would be sacred in the house. “ It's just I had been calling your name and you didn't respond,” I added.“I…I didn't hear,” she said vaguely.“What are you thinking about?” I asked.“Stuff,” she shrugged.I noticed something on the side of her eye and I cocked my head to the side to get a better look at it.She traced my line of sight and quickly brought her head down and her bangs covered her eyes.But my curiosity got the best of me

Ares' povI stayed in my room working while keeping my ears down to hear her leave the room but the sound of the door opening never came.I tapped on the keyboard furiously, channeling my anger to it.Why was she so difficult?How did a simple question as that have her flare up so much?She was just so unpredictable.I scowled deeply.Why was she so concerned about the sister of the maid who had died while….My phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts.I pressed the green button and placed it against my ear.“What?” I growled into the speaker.“Alpha. The first part of the proposal as been corrected. I'd like to run it through you to see if we should go ahead with the rest or if there are any changes you'd like to implement,” Jason said, going straight to the point. “Would you want me to email it to you or come around and….”“Email it!” I replied immediately and ended the call.I intended on keeping Jason away from my house as much as possible.Tabitha's stupid crush on him didn't in

My eyes fluttered close on their own will and butterflies erupted in my stomach.His lips were so soft and gentle, everything I had ever imagined it to be.The kiss was better than any I'd ever had.I could taste the wine he'd been drinking all night on his lips and I melted into him.He held me closer to him by my hips and our chests stayed flushed against each other.His kiss was gentle and slow, as if he was savouring my taste and commiting it to memory.Unknowingly, my fingers came up and I wrapped them around his silky hair, never realizing how soft they were until that very moment.He pressed his body into me and I could feel his erection poking my stomach.Heat flared out of me and pooled in my panties.“Fuck,” he moaned into my lips as he inhaled the scent of my arousal.My legs felt like jelly at the sound of his moan. My knees buckled and if it wasn't for his hand that were holding me firmly by my hips, I would have fallen.I couldn't compare anything to this kiss because it

Waking up the next morning, I sighed deeply, feeling like a heavy weight had been placed on my chest.The embarrassment from last night came rushing back to me and I threw my head back and groaned. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I finally closed my eyes and let the warm embrace of sleep embrace me and I was already up early.Stretching my body, I turned to the clock on the bedside table.My eyes bulged out of their sockets as I read the time.11:14.That definitely wasn't early.It was already way past his meal time and I knew there was no need rushing out anymore.I relaxed into the bed and let my mind wander.In as much as I still had a lot of questions to ask and things to know about him, I wasn't sure I wanted to have any more meals with him.For the sake of my sanity.The farther I stayed from him, the easier it would be to overcome these stupid feelings that were creeping their way into my heart.I was certain I was just feeling this way because of Jason's

I mentally face-palmed myself for not taking off my clothes first but decided to think about it later.With my snout high in the air, I howled and that was when I realized how much I'd missed shifting.I walked towards the lake and for a moment, my breath seized.Instead of the shiny brown that my wolf used to be, my fur was now a silver color that shone brightly under the sun.Silver wolfs were very rare and there were a lot of myths about them but nothing seemed out of the ordinary about my wolf asides how weak she was.I stared at my reflection in the clear water for a while before Nyx whipped around and took off towards the woods.Her paws hit the ground and raised dirt on the way.Her speed wasn't so fast but I relaxed back into the run.The wind blew past her beautiful fur and the trees got thicker till we were fully in the woods.Adrenaline pumped through me as I ran tirelessly through the thick forest.Nyx was having the time of her life, running, dodging and jumping fallen br
