(Hazel)Long after he was gone, the heavy downpour hadn't ceased. Piper showed up behind. He rounded my shoulders and pressed my back against his chest." I lost him. I've lost him completely."I turned, stammering as the sobs broke in. " I had to tell him. I couldn't do it without telling him." I blubbered." I know. You did what you should do. Now, you have to take your mind of it." He embraced me, hands wrapped protectively around me. By sundown, Christian hadn't shown signs of improvement. Every second feels like he's quietly slipping out of my arms. I shut the voices in my head. I'm hopeful.Two days later, he was up, and moody." You should eat something. You can't continue like this," I beckoned. Boy, does he have an attitude?!Lazily, he looked away from me and settled on the door. I followed his gaze, moments before it creaked open and Dominic breezed in.You have to be kidding me. " Hello," Christian spoke dryly. I turned sharply. "Can you believe it? He hasn't spoken to

My palm swooshed across her face and hit home on her skin. " How dare you threaten me?"Muscles contracting, breath shuddering, I recalled her betrayal. " You listen, Samantha. I might be powerless against my sister's schemes, but that doesn't give you the liberty to cross me."With a shaky voice, I admitted what I had long locked inside. "I loved you!"" I trusted you. You were to me the sister I should have had. I was sincere towards you."Her lashes fluttered. Her lips quivered. A flicker of abstract guilt masked her eyes for a mini second. I emptied myself until nothing was left." What did I get in return?" I rasped." You know where it hurts more?" My voice sliced through with an almost palpable tremor. " Because of you, I can no longer see the goodness in anyone. I see faces. I perceive masks. Masks that might someday come off like yours."" What wrong did I do to you?" I barked. Her eyes misted, tongue-tied and her palm against the cheek I slapped." Tell me!" I thought about

" That scent," I thought, feeling my c*** harden. It melds seamlessly with my senses, completely diffused in the room until it clung to it like the painting on the wall.It reminds me of Hazel. I kick back at the dizziness creeping into my eyes, blinking away sleep. Finger suspended over the switch, I brooded over it, contemplating whether to turn it on or leave it. I chose the latter.I would rather accept it this way than to get disappointed once I see it's someone else. I stepped away from the switch, disposed of the drink in the trash can by the door side, and loped towards the bed, tugging at the buttons on my three-piece suit.She's sound asleep. Her breath is fresh and sweet, scented like peppermint. I inhaled deeply, and my breath whipped back on my face, reeking of alcohol."How I hate myself right now," I thought, considering taking a bath instead, but her shampoo holds me captive in fetters bound to the memory of every single time I have slipped into her core. The wholesom

Shaking off the guilt, I held his hand, assuringly. I choose silence.We arrived late. He changed and lumbered downstairs. I was on standby already." Hazel—"" You won't go alone. I'm coming with you." I cut in, doggedly." I might receive a lot of backlash today..."" Then we go through it together...no, Dominic. You can't shield me from the heat of the sun forever. We are going to get married. We will have kids, Dom. We have to do this together."I held his cheeks, melted by his dreamy gaze." I'm afraid I might disappoint you," he droned." Shh! You are a wolf. Moon blessed. Silent prowler. King of the winter, hunting across miles of ice, snow and frost. You are an alpha. You just have to howl, and the pack will answer..." His lips slammed hard against mine without warning, tongue breaking in, claiming every inch of me in raw possession. He swept me off the floor without breaking a sweat. For a few minutes, he sealed my lips in a passionate kiss. " You're going to be late if we

Where is she?"My throat clogged on its own. In a thousand lifetimes, I wouldn't imagine Hazel would worry about her.I took a deep breath, and exhaled. How do I tell her that I had just fired her for suggesting that the matching pajamas should be for her and me?" She's relieved of her duties."I tried to explain why, but her face sunk low. " Is it because of me?"I was still contemplating the best response when she rubbed her forehead. " I thought so."I scrambled for the perfect explanation. But she switched into a different conversation. It's not difficult to see through her smile the guilt she's struggling to shield from me." That was wholesome.
