CRYSTALI manage to sneak out on my own two feet after Silver kindly let me go. I'm surprised I'm still able to walk but I make it back to my room in the mansion and take some time scrubbing my body with all the body wash and the lotion I could grab my hands on.I soak my head to calm my thoughts and after taking a new outfit, I hide the old ones under my bed and step out again as if nothing's happened. My body is still sensitive from his touch and I'm biting my lips not to smile in satisfaction of how I feel.“My dear, I just sent a guard to go fetch you,” I bump into my mother on the stairs. “Ruby said you already left.”“ No, I… I was having a headache after talking with Silver so I couldn't make the journey back.”“I heard you were with him for a while. How did that go?”Very orgasmic.“Very well. He was feeling bored and with his rut under control, he just needed good company.”She sighs, “It's so strange how you two are so close in such a short time. Did he tell you I barged int

SILVER I open my eyes again to bring lights and a deep soothed feeling in my chest. There are traces of Crystal's scent hovering around and I lift myself from the bed– or I try to before a hand pushes me back on it. “Stay down,” I lift my eyes to my mother who has a slight frown on her face. She folds her arms and looks away, “You've been unconscious for three hours now.” No wonder my butt felt so sore and numb. “You're here early-ow!” She hit my arm and glares. “How could you do this?” She forces through her teeth as she places her hands on her waist. So she's heard. No surprise there. “What exactly?” I try to sit up again and this time, she helps arrange the pillows behind my back. “If you're talking about Ruby- “How could you keep the fact that you found your mate away from me?” I pause at the twist but just accept it with a nod, “Okay-” “I'm also disappointed in how you chose to handle things. I raise you better than this. One word from you and everything would've been ca

RUBY My eyes are heavy and my breathing is harsh as if air has suddenly become so heavy. My whole body has never felt so out of control like there's no life in it. Everything hurts, it's so hard to breathe. My thoughts wanders to dark memories in my mind and worries that have kept me up all night. I squeeze my eyes to discard them, the dark eerie feeling drawing closer and closer till it becomes only a breath away and I'm thrust into it. I can see my room. It's the one I had when I was a child. The walls are painted pink, there are dolls on the bed and on my dresser but I've abandoned them for a while now and they no longer serve their purpose; to entertain me or as my parents hoped, to keep me distracted as they focus on more important matters. I let out a gush of air as I try to shake myself from the darkness, hearing my own groans as my body feels heavier like dead weight. The walls of that room stare back at me, every hour, every day and all I can hear are her grunts, her ef

CRYSTAL My hand has gone numb from the continuous punch to his jaw. I'm straddling him on the cold floor with one hand pressing against his neck and the other set to deliver the next blow. John is somewhere shaking on the floor, I can hear his whimpers and his irregular fast heart beat. I'm numb from his news, my thoughts eating me up alive as I stare into past his bloody face and look into his eyes with a blank expression on my face. Where is she and what did he do to her? I can't rid myself of the image of him driving silver into her belly. Ruby is young and vibrant, full of life and agile… she wouldn't let herself die from this- this dirty and smelly abomination. She's next in line to be Alpha. An Alpha cannot fall like this. He's lying. He's lying. I chant over and over in my head but the look in his eyes only bring about doubts and they interfere with my own thoughts– I flinch when I feel a sharp pain on my leg and I turn to it. There's a piece of wood in his hand and he

CRYSTAL I try to stretch but when something hairy tickles my neck, I open my eyes in panic. My heart starts to calm down when I smell his familiar scent and he lifts his head to hold my gaze. He leans in and barely grazes his lips on mine, stirring up butterflies in my belly and making me crave more. It doesn't help when he's shirtless and he's over me, flashing that million dollar smile with my mark on his neck. It's like he's just begging to be taken. Goddess! I sound like a pervert but is it a sin when this man happens to be mine? I slip my hand up his chest and as I continue, his eyes start to darken and I gulp from the lust blaring in them. “You have no idea how much I've been waiting for you to wake up,” he confesses in a dreamy sigh that makes me pause. “Why do I sense a hidden promise there?” I'm stating the obvious and we both know it. But first things first, “Where are we?” I turn my neck to look at my environment and everything feels so familiar. It's my old house wit
