Rayna Bennett's pov: Oh, Goddess! I was falling for this elite warrior. Last night, Alex didn’t want to make love to me. He thought I was tender, and he wanted to give me some time to heal. My healing was already slow due to the absence of my wolf. But yesterday the way he let me have my way with him near the lake, it was truly magical. His closeness used to make my heart race. Nobody could have guessed that such a huge man could be so gentle. My fated ones didn’t care if I was in pain, or my heart was aching. But here my chosen mate was taking care of me like a baby. After rejection, I had decided to become strong and never to depend on any man. However, this man was making all the walls crumble around me. This morning, he was again making breakfast and I was seated comfortably on a chair drinking in his se*xy body and the way his hand was expertly stirring a spatula in the pan. He was doing everything so perfectly and so effortlessly. “You have been staring at me instead

Nora’s pov: The woman whose name was Lola was talking less and was crying more. The sound of her crying was so much familiar as the screeching of nails on a chalkboard. My headache was getting worse. However, her kids were so innocent. My heart was going out to them. “Lola. Whatever the issue is. We won’t abandon you.” Mom said rubbing her shoulder, calming her down. Queen Savannah Ironheart. My mom! Mom had always been so polite and soft-hearted. Nobody could imagine that she was a brutal warrior on the battlefield. “I have heard she is Rayna’s stepmom,” Ruby mumbled close to my ear and then we got a death stare from Mom while saying soothing words to Lola. I nudged my elbow in Ruby’s ribs and got up. “Where do you think you are going, young lady?” Stella spoke, mimicking our mom and I heard Ruby giggling behind. “You should be ashamed of yourself for making fun of Mom,” I kept walking with a smile on my face. “Seriously. Weren’t we supposed to party in the club and now

Alexander Ironheart “Get a grip, Alexander.” Beta Brian hissed at me, “You are the one who wanted to propose her … and tell her everything with all those decorations and celebrations. I tried to warn you. You call me your beta and you are supposed to act on my advice.”“And I always do!” I couldn’t hide the snarl in my voice and screamed at my beta.“Not in the case of this girl, Alex!” He shouted equally, “Do you think I am not keeping a check on her? Do you know where she is right now? What is she doing? Let me tell you. She has befriended a kitchen helper and now she is living in her quarter. Not only that but she is also willing to help those maids in the kitchen…”“What!” I exclaimed and could feel my Lycan voice reverberating off the walls of the office. I couldn’t say anything else in a state of shock and disbelief. “What is she doing in the kitchen? She is not supposed to be there when…”“She can go anywhere she damn pleases, Alexander Ironheart. Now cut the crap, and stop b

Rayna Bennett His closeness and his warm breath caused ticklish sensations on my skin. I tried to finish my food as soon as possible. His dear fiancée made me leave my Ramen noodles and here he was threatening me as if I was the one who lied to him. My gaze raised to Nora, and I found her giving me an apologetic smile. Sweet girl. Your fiancé is fooling around, breaking your trust. I wiped my mouth and stood up, “Dear. Won’t you have dessert?” The queen inquired with a kind smile, and I stepped back dropping my napkin. “No, ma’am. I’m so full that I can hardly walk. Ha-ha.” I tried to laugh it off and before she could say anything, I quickly bowed to take my leave. “In that case, I think I should accompany her, Mother,” he said getting on his feet, “she healed you and cured Nora’s headache, so she deserves some VIP treatment.” “N… No, need, your Highness. I’m a big girl and can retire to my room without a chaperone.” Offering him a forced smile, I spun around and started walki

Nora closed back the door with a polite smile, but I could see worry lines on her face. The poor girl wasn’t expecting anyone in the powder room. “Let’s go to my room. That’s the safest place for the time being.” She said while walking ahead of me. My mind was still on Lola. The lack of time didn’t let me think about what happened to her. What had my father done to her that even my siblings seemed quite traumatized? “Make yourself comfortable,” Nora's room was more like a hotel suite with every luxury in that place. She went to her fridge to grab some beer cans and tossed one to me. I caught it in mid-air and wrapped my fingers around the cold tin to get some comfort. Nora took a chug from her can and placed it on the coffee table. “Sit down, Rayna. We need to change our plan,” wiping her mouth roughly with the back of her hand instead of a napkin made her seem more like a kickass alpha than a soon-to-be queen. “Change of plan? What do you mean?” I placed my fists under my chin,
