Annabel’s Pov. “You don’t know how much you tortured me last night… with your whimpers and smell.” His hot breath fanned against the skin on my neck, making my legs shiver in anticipation. “Why do you make it very difficult for me to give you time? Huh, Anna? You make me want to eat you up every single time I see you” He whispered breathlessly in my ears as his hand inched forward again, now very close to my wetness, “You drove me crazy last night and now, you’re doing it again… How dare your arousal smell this good? Huh?” he barked, his sudden change of tone making me flinch from shock and want. “I want to touch you here…” He pointed at my open legs with a teasing smile, his hand stylishly reaching for a little of my wetness. He brought the slightly wet hand to his nose and sniffed it long and hard before slowly taking it into his mouth. I watched him with a mixture of disgust and unavoidable desire dancing in my eyes. It was undeniable that the single act of his had succeeded in

Elijah was done teaching his third class as a substitute teacher and he was heading to the other building of the school where the high schoolers learned. He needed to see his brothers to know how they were doing; he could take it even though it was breaking him bit by bit as the minutes turned to hours and the hours turned to days but he wasn’t sure his brothers could.The news of their parent's disappearance was a hard pill for him and his brothers to swallow and with every day that went by, the realization that something must have happened to them was becoming clearer and clearer to each of them.He had contacted all his father’s underdogs that handled his illegal activities to search for his parents and bring them back… both dead and alive, he had also gone the legal means by alerting all the security operatives both the ones loyal to his dad and the ones who weren’t about his parent’s disappearance but all that did nothing in getting his parent’s back to them.It was like they ha

Elijah’s Pov.Folding some of my clothes into the bag I usually use during vacations, I can’t help but smile and feel satisfied at how most of today had ended, although it was tasking and time-consuming because then I had to put my leaving till midnight but still, I am more than ecstatic that I was able to joggle through both activities successfully.As of now, those two groups of people, my brothers and Anna are the only thing I have right now, until mother and father are found. No matter how tough and draining all I will be doing this week or more is going to be, I will be unrelenting and unbreakable till my goal is achieved.The fact that I was able to apologize to Anna and get her to talk to me with a smile on her face was all I needed to refuel my energy and determination. I will definitely be sleeping tonight with a wide smile on my face because the woman I am in love with has finally forgiven me and you can bet that as soon as I am back from this dangerous and uncertain trip, I

Hunter’s Pov.I sighed and rubbed my palm over my face as I got comfortable on the couch in my bedroom. The guilt of my behaviour was eating deep at me when I remembered how much of an asshole I had been to Anna some minutes ago.“I regret my actions, Seiko. So, spare me the lectures.” I yelled at my wolf when he wouldn’t stop whining about how much sadness I was causing our mate.“Go apologize to her!” he commanded in a snappy tone.“No. I am not doing that.” I retorted before getting up from the couch to grab a glass of whisky while loosening my tie.“Why do you love to make our mate unhappy, Hunter? Why don’t you ever try to be with her like we were with our late mate?” he probed. I could feel his sadness but what happened today was not entirely my fault.I downed the drink, practically threw the glass cup on the table, and then proceeded to take off my suit and shirt. “Because she is nothing like our late mate. Don’t blame this on me when it is not entirely my fault, Seiko.” I rep

Annabel’s Pov.He sighed with a smile, “You know, my late mate, Anna used to make this every day.” There we go! For a minute I thought he had finally changed, it’s good he hasn’t.“I know I shouldn’t be talking about her but…I can’t help it sometimes” he went silent for a while, just staring deeply at me, like a man carrying a lot of pain in his heart.“You guys look so alike, in almost everything, although she was way more stubborn and hotheaded.” He chuckled. “She loved baking things like this for little pups but whenever I asked her to do the same for me her husband, she’d hit me and totally ignore me, claiming I had hands to do them myself. She only ever did things like this for me when I least expected it or even deserved it.”I continued to listen while my heart tightened in jealousy whenever his eyes glistered as he spoke about her. He seemed lost in thought even as he stared directly at me while talking, his tone, eyes, and, body language all indicated that she held the key to
