NADIA.
I couldn’t sleep. I knew my body was tired, but my mind wouldn’t shut down. I kept thinking about my mate.
I swear, while he was showing me around the pack house, I couldn’t keep myself from yawning and I felt like I would fall asleep already and that was why Riley insisted that we head up so I could sleep.
I was hoping he would invite me to his room, but he didn't. I wouldn't deny that I was disappointed, but what could I do?
So here I was, alone in this room, trying to console myself by smelling his scent on the shirt I was wearing and hoping for sleep to take over.
But the moment he left my room, I couldn’t relax anymore and sleep never came.
I guessed having him around was calming for me and my wolf. And now that I couldn’t smell him, I found it hard to sleep in an unfamiliar place.
Or perhaps it was because I had no idea what we were to each other at this point.
We didn’t talk about it. So I
Here's the second/last one for today! I hope everyone is having a great start to the week! Thank you for waiting and reading! And for all the gems and comments! ♡
RILEY."Let me know if you’re ready to move into my pack so I can initiate you. It will be easier for me to reach you if I can mindlink you.""Okay. But can we do it tomorrow? I really don't have energy now, and they say it would hurt if a pack bond breaks.""It will, but it's not that painful. But if you feel it is too much, I can take the pain for you. You just need to channel it to me. " I then raised a finger and tapped the mark on her neck gently. "This one here will let you share your pains with me. You just need to learn how to open your emotions."Her forehead creased as she shook her head. "There's no way I will give you any of my pains. That is ridiculous!"I chuckled before cupping her neck, brushing off the stray hairs clinging to her skin before running my thumb over her mark. "I’m an Alpha. There’s no pain that I can’t handle."She rolled her eyes before her lips twitched into a grin. "I
NADIA. "Goodnight, Riley. I will see you tomorrow." I closed the door with a heavy heart and leaned my back against it, closing my eyes as I let disappointment wash over me. I was hoping he would ask me to sleep in his room or if he could sleep in mine. But he didn’t. He was just my mate. He was forced into this bond by the Goddess. But his heart certainly still belonged to someone. Andrea. I wonder what she looked like. Maybe I could find a picture of her somewhere here. Arrow snarled at me in my head and kept reminding me that I promised we would try to make the Alpha fall in love with us, but it wasn’t even day one and I was already giving up. I ignored her. But my persistent wolf started flashing images of me and Riley curled up in bed, sleeping peacefully together. It wasn’t lewd images, but definitely, enough to make my heart and my pussy clench. Arrow was right. I have two months to make my move. And
RILEY. My eyes squinted before I was able to fully open them. I was still trying to get my senses back when I remembered what happened last night, and my heart thudded loudly as I snapped my head to the right side looking for Nadia. Was she gone? Was it a dream? My heart clenched at the empty space beside me, only to be surprised when something moved on my chest. I was laying on my back and I slowly titled my head downward and saw black hair spread out all over my torso before I realized that sparks were playing around everywhere in my body. A smile slowly formed on my lips as I lifted my arms and coiled them around the female sleeping soundly on top of me. Her legs were spread open and caging my thighs while her hands were on my chest just below where her cheek was resting. And my dick was raging hard. It must be from my sleep. No, that was a fucking lie. I could feel her naked core pressed against the skin just above
NADIA. Although I was upset with the picture I saw in Riley's room, I couldn't be angry with him. For starters, the female could be his sister or a relative. It just made me realize that I knew nothing about him. But then, I hadn't even been here for 24 hours yet, so I shouldn’t have expected that he would tell me everything in his life in the few hours that we spent together. Second, if that female was Andrea, should I really be upset? Or should I be thankful that she chose another Alpha and left Riley alone, giving me a shot of having him for myself? Because I was certain that if Adrea was still here, I'd be spending my days in the cell, or worse, back with my uncle, rejected and unmarked. So maybe I should be celebrating that Andrea isn’t around here anymore. But if there was anything I wanted to know, it was who Andrea was and where she stood in his life right now. But then again, it would all go back to the fact tha
RILEY. I had no idea today would be so much better than it already was. I woke up with Nadia sprawled out on top of me as if she belonged there like she owned every part of me. Well, she did, she just didn’t know it yet. But soon, I wanted her to know she owned every part of me and I would do everything in my power to make her stay and be mine for eternity. I smiled despite myself as a flashback of this morning came in. I had to drag Jenny, my Gamma Female to help me with ironing her clothes. I had never, for the life of me, used this thing. My clothes were washed and pressed by an Omega female who comes in twice a week, so this thing wasn’t really part of my routine, but for some reason, I wanted to do it for her. This female was turning me into her slave without her knowing it. And then I talked with Darvin this morning and told him about Nadia. And the fucker laughed at me. It reached him that when Nadia returned to his territory days ago, she was already marked, but he had no
NADIA. Riley welcomed me into his pack with a bang, and I couldn’t get enough of it. I had no plans to mark him, but when he said I could bite him anywhere, I guessed my inner desire surfaced, and I was happy that he didn’t stop me from doing it. I didn't know if he noticed, but I wanted to stake my claim and mark my territory. But if anything, he looked happy about it. I couldn’t forget the way his eyes were twinkling as he brushed the hair off my face after I marked him and after we shared a kiss. If I based it on his expression, I would assume that my mate liked me too. And I wish I was right. We just finished buying clothes for me, and although I was insisting on buying a few pieces of each, my mate was adamant about buying more. I couldn’t keep track of all the costs, but I was hoping if the contract continued, he would not deduct them from the money I was asking from him because he bought a lot today. It was probably mor
RILEY. "Do you love her, Riley?" She asked me without looking at me, and I knew the answer right away. "I don’t," I answered coldly, not really liking this conversation at all. "Liar." She hissed at me. "I told you I don't lie." "Then tell me about her." She tilted her body in my direction, her eyebrow raised as she mocked me with her eyes. "There's nothing to tell. She's part of the past, Nadia. Let it go." "I want to know everything about her." "What's the point? She's gone." "I want to know everything about her! Don't make me say that again." "What the fuck for? I don't ask you about your past. Or anyone in your life. So can we just move on..." "Because I have nothing to tell you! I never had a man in my life! Oh, I have! I forgot! Let me tell you about him! This man saw me when I was 17 and he was forty-five years old! And he decided he wanted me as his mate! That evil man would visit me every time he could, and he would look at me like he was undressing me every single
Nadia was jealous. With Andrea. My heart jumped over my chest at the thought of my mate harboring feelings for me, but it didn’t change the fact that I was still not ready to tell her about Andrea yet. I didn’t think she would be able to accept that part of me knowing I was the same as the man she was running from. But I wanted to give it another try at winning her over. ‘Can we talk now?’ I finally sent her a mindlink when Hunter told me that he and Arrow were ready to give us back control. ‘I’m shifting back, but tell Hunter not to hurt me.’ Her voice sounded scared, and I found it adorable. My wolf might be angry with her, but he would never hurt her unless he marked her again. In an instant, Nadia shifted into her human form in front of my wolf, naked. A low rumble vibrated from Hunter’s chest, and it made Nadia move back, but before she could turn around to run, Hunter laid down on the ground once more and lowe
