Semua Bab The White Wolf: Bab 21 - Bab 27

“What’s wrong, baby girl?” Ghost asked as I filled a tray of whiskeys. He sat in his usual spot at the bar when I worked. He and Uncle Harris seemed to have formed a friendship. One that allowed Ghost to stay overnight on the nights I worked.We were now inseparable. I waited for a moment when I wanted some privacy, but the urge never came. Ghost was my most caring, considerate, and handsome boyfriend. I was fed, chauffeured, and cared for, making me feel cherished and loved. We set aside time to complete his work and my homework, balancing out the fun part of dating. He often had meetings at the club—a club I was never invited to.After work on Sunday nights until Tuesday mornings, we spent alone time at his cabin. A month had gone by, and we still hadn’t had sex yet. Every conversation ended with him claiming I wasn’t ready. I couldn’t imagine how much more ready I needed to be with his constant lessons. I let it go since I was deliriously happy most of the time.“I have mid-terms c

Ghost had only been gone a couple of days before the ache I felt for him overwhelmed me. I was edgy and unsettled. My tolerance for others was being irrationally challenged. I even snapped at Clara and Adam without real cause. I missed Ghost when he was away and pouted about it.The MCs were taking turns escorting me to and from school. Magnus or Deisel would bring me, and Gunnar dutifully waited to take me home. They acted friendly and supportive, but I felt like an added chore, adding to my vexation.My grumpiness didn’t deter Adam’s friendship. “We have our anatomy mid-term coming up. Do you want to come over and study?” He asked while searching for something on the ground.“What did you lose?”“An amulet my father gave me. I feel angsty without it.”“Maybe it’s back in the classroom? I’ll help you look.”“It’s fine. So you are coming?”“That would be great. Thanks, Adam.”“Thank you. My father would love to meet you. I don’t think he thinks you’re real.”“How so?” Adam looked away

Dr. Sawyer had Adam moved to his own room so we could have our privacy. Esmerelda was still under observation for her injuries. My body enveloped hers as we slept together on the small hospital bed. My mind raced from all the information I had learned. Witches were a lore I didn’t know truly existed. I began to wonder what other enhanced creatures there were in the world.For Dr. Sawyer’s research, I allowed him to take a sample of our blood. I trusted the information would stay safe since he and his son were also participants. I’ll have to meet with Cyrus tomorrow to update him on everything and my speculation about the shifter murders in the valley.“Ghost.”“I’m here, baby girl.”“I’m hungry.”“Cheeseburgers?”“Yes, please.”Deisal was still positioned outside the room. I shot him a text giving him our order. He sent back a thumbs up.“Deisal’s on it.” She turned in my hold to face me. Her mouth pressed on my neck, making me shiver. Soft kisses trailed toward my mouth. Our proper g

Condemnation was slow to form. I took my mate without her consent. She sank into my grasp as our orgasms retreated. We were floating outside our bodies in pleasure.“Ghost.” My name on her lips so reverently gave me hope. “What was that?” She purred at me.“I marked you as my mate.” The strength of my conviction waned as she tightened against me.“You bit me?” Her hand went to her throat to find the evidence. Fingers grazed over the four punctures, marring her beautiful skin. “Why did you do that?”Before I could answer, her hands gripped her stomach as it lurched. She looked at me in horror. “What did you do to me?” She shrieked in terror and jumped off me in time to vomit in a shrub.“What’s happening?” Her body shook and forced her onto all fours. “Ghost! Jake! What’s happening to me?” Pain and fear edged her words as I stood in my own shocked despair.Bones broke as they rearranged themselves for the first time. Esmerelda screamed and cried through the transformation process. Shif
