SORAYAHe didn’t come back. Xaden really walked out without sparing me as much as a second glance. He was clearly okay with them sleeping in separate bedrooms for the night—I would give him the space he seemed to want so desperately.I definitely didn’t like this. I already expected some sort of tension to arise with Celeste about to move back in, but I didn’t expect Xaden to behave this way. It made me worried for what was to come when Celeste was finally in their face all the time.Celeste had definitely manipulated events to turn out this way. I couldn’t for the life of me understand how she was able to stage things so perfectly but I was going to find out. I needed Xaden to see her again for what she actually was.She had definitely been clever with her plans, using Xaden’s love and need to protect me at all times against him. It was really cunning but she must have made some sort of mistake somewhere and I was going to fish it out. I needed to, my safety and that of Kaylee’s depe

SORAYA “Bu...but he invited me over. Surely he couldn’t just disappear like that Soraya. I think you’re personally doing this to spite me.” Celeste said curtly, trying to look over me, into the house.“I couldn’t care less what you think Celeste. I honestly couldn’t even if I tried. Now please explain to me what this monstrosity of a dress is?” I asked as I stared down the dress again. If you could even call it that. She definitely picked the most seductive dress she could lay her hands on. I stilled myself as I felt the last bits of my patience escape. “Well Soraya. Despite the fact that you’re being an ungrateful little girl, we should be celebrating!” She said, trying to patronize me. “You get to see another day thanks to me. I feel that calls for celebration, hence the dress. I felt the three of us could have a nice little candlelit dinner as adults and forget the past over a bottle of wine. If I remember correctly, Xaden always had the best taste in expensive red wine.” She fin

SORAYAHow could I have been so gullible? I thought to myself as I scrubbed the blood frantically off my hands. It had almost dried, forming a sticky crust over my fist and palms, making it almost impossible to get off. Gosh darn it!I looked up and opened the top drawer above the sink of the guest bathroom and took out a hard sponge.This would have to do. I thought as I soaked it in soap and scrubbed furiously. The blood had started to come off albeit slowly.This wasn’t me. Celeste was gradually turning me into a hollow shell of myself and I knew I needed to be more patient in my approach to her. What happened today must never repeat itself again. Celeste would never get under my skin like that again.It still felt like a dream. How did things get so utterly screwed up? Celeste definitely pulled a fast one on them. From being hated by Xaden and the pack to Xaden actually inviting her over, lifting her up and taking her inside. It was absolutely unreal and I hoped that I would wake

SORAYA Xaden stopped and turned but only motioned for me to go ahead with what I had to say without saying a word.“Why our bedroom?” I asked, genuinely unhappy. “Why did you have to set up and nurse Celeste in our own matrimonial bedroom Xaden? Why don’t you realize how disrespectful that is to me?”Xaden seemed to ponder on my words. Actually taking them in and processing them. His expression softened but he didn’t move a muscle.“I do not do this out of disrespect to you Soraya. I’m doing this out of appreciation for Celeste. That is all Soraya. She saved your life and because of that, I am beholden to her. I gave my fucking word Soraya” He said with a sombre tone and I realized that he actually believed what he said. He was actually just standing by his word to Celeste but he was still allowing himself to be manipulated and it pissed me off. Celeste was using his belief against him and he was unwavering in his decision.“But you could have set her up somewhere else. Anywhere else

XADENDid I make the right decision? I thought as I skipped down a small flight of wooden stairs to the basement. Soraya seemed to be extremely unhappy with my choice to accommodate Celeste and a part of me could relate to her resentment. It was rather odd to say the least but I really wished she could understand where I was coming from—I mean, the woman did save her life. I hated fighting with her and I hated it more that Kaylee had to witness all of that. She may not be old enough to understand what was going on or why mummy and daddy were yelling at each other but it still wasn’t a good look. Hopefully, all of this would blow over soon and Soraya could come to appreciate Celeste and maybe even tolerate her. I know I did. I was beginning to see a side of Celeste I hadn’t seen in years. The side of her that wasn’t so spiteful and petty. I was beginning to see the friend and partner that I had formed a marriage pact with all those years ago. When she was much warmer and highly protec

XADEN“Celeste..” I began. “I think we need to make it clear exactly what this is and what it isn’t.” I watched her closely before continuing. “I chose to agree to this arrangement because I sincerely believe you saved Soraya’s life only due to the partnership and friendship we once shared. There isn’t a world where anything can ever happen between us again, I have found my mate and I cannot overemphasize that. I don’t want to give you the wrong idea.”Celeste was quiet only for a moment before standing up. “I was just kidding Xaden.” She began, laughing shortly. ”You do not need to explain the bond between mates to me and I am eternally grateful to you and Soraya for agreeing to accommodate me. I can understand how awkward this must be, especially for her.”“It’s fine, Soraya would come around. So you were just pulling my legs?” I asked, still unsure.“Of course I was Xaden. I would never overstep like that. You have my word. I just thought I’d fuck with you a little bit.” She said a

XADENBreakfast pretty much ended uneventfully and Soraya had already taken Kaylee back to the nursery. After a meal like that, she would probably be out till noon. I had helped myself to another cup of coffee and was still sat at the dining, sipping as I tried to get a read of the morning paper. Family of five killed at Lupine gardens following an unfortunate mountain lion attack.I knew the rogue attack would be blamed on wild animals. Humans preferred the safety of their own assumptions rather than face the harsh reality of werewolves living amongst them. It was probably better that way for everyone.I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, it was probably Celeste.“Good morning Xaden. I really hope there’s still food for me, I’m as hungry as a motherfucker.” She said as she walked in the kitchen.I couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course there is, we’re not fucking savages you know. You just missed Soraya and Kaylee by the way.” I said, still sipping my coffee.“Probably for the bes

SORAYA I had just given the performance of a lifetime. I thought to myself as Xaden took his leave, walking out of the nursery. I didn’t enjoy being deceitful to him but it wasn’t like he gave me much of a choice. Besides, what was I going to tell him, that I was already aware of what took his best trackers all night to figure out? And I hadn’t told him? His ego wouldn’t handle it well and he probably wouldn’t believe me anyways. Not when it still crucially involved Celeste. He appeared incredibly on edge as he walked out and Xaden was rarely ever on edge, dare I say he was never on edge. I have seen him worried before, angry to the point of rage and even spiteful, but I had never seen him frightful. There was definitely more to this feud he had with Jeremy than meets the eye and I knew it went way beyond me and Kaylee. That was however going to be a discussion for a later date, I wasn’t too hung up about it. It wasn’t a new thing for Alphas to constantly be at loggerheads, especial

SORAYA I exhaled gently as the relief washed over me. Anything that got her to wake up right now must also be prepared to feed her. She was definitely eating a lot more as she was maturing. The downside of raising a child I guess and I still wouldn’t exchange it for anything in the world, not for all the money in the world.Recently, I had been plagued with a disturbing anxiety that I simply couldn’t shake off. It was the kind of nervous feeling that clung to me like a fleece and I was constantly worried about her. If Celeste were to win and anything were to happen to me, she would have to grow up with Celeste as her care giver and the thought of that sent shivers down my spine. The thought of Celeste being the mother to my daughter left such a bitter taste in my mouth that I couldn’t help but gag whenever I imagined it. Of course Xaden would be here, but with his lecturing job at the Lupine institute and the various contracts he would be handling, he would hardly be present. Celeste

SORAYA “Mamaaa.....!!!”I woke up with a startle as Kaylee’s cries jolted me out of dreamland. Shit! I could have sworn that I had just shut my eyes a moment ago. I looked at my watch, it was almost a quarter past 1pm, I couldn’t believe I dozed off for that long.I picked Kaylee up and rocked her gently, swaying her rhythmically from side to side. She still wasn’t stopping, she must be incredibly hungry.“There, there..” I hummed, as I pat her gently on the back and stroked her hair.I slowly made my way to the door, tossing the book I was reading on the chair and picked up her bag. I had barely touched the handle of the door before it flung open and I was greeted with the unwelcome image of Celeste. For some reason, she was looking pissed.“I heard her crying from the living room.” She began, eyeing me before focusing her sights on Kaylee. “Shouldn’t you have been here with her? Where were you?”The nerve on this woman though. If it wasn’t so annoying, I would have applauded it! I
