Gianna
Even though earlier, I had decided that I would stay away from him, but one look at him and all my resolve dissolved into nothingness.
So instantly, I decided not to think much about all these things and just enjoy the attention which I was receiving. But then, just like someone has thrown cold water on my face, a realization draws on me that it is not like he is actually interested in knowing me; he is interested in this new girl he has just met.
And these two things are different.
This also made me realize that deep down, I was hoping that he would genuinely like me, which is stupid. Because why would he be interested in me when he can have anyone he wants?
I am not blind not to notice how every girl in the party was eyeing him. He is not like manwhore like most of the other club members from what I have heard, but still, he has been with quite a few females. And it was not like somebody told me about him or anything, but I have heard talking a group of girls bragging to each other, how they scored the Alpha for themselves.
A bitter feeling churns inside me when I think about him being with other girls. I feel angry, frustrated, at the same time, sad. These feelings seem illogical because how can I feel like this about someone who I have just met.
"Damn, this man is dangerous." Lightly chuckling to myself, I shake my head at the hilarity of my situation.
It is better for me to stay away from him because he is bad for me and my heart.
Lifting my head, I look at the starless sky while a shiver of cold runs down my spine when the cold breeze touches my skin. The sound of music fills the silence around me, but it is still not loud enough to quieten my haywire thoughts.
"Gia, what are you doing here?"
Plastering a smile on my face, I turn to find Eric walking towards me with a frown on his face.
"When did you return?" I accept his hug when he wraps his arms around me.
A few hours before the party, he stopped by my room to inform me that he had some business to attend to, so he might not be able to make it to the party. Honestly, I was slightly disappointed because I wanted to be with him, but I know he wouldn't have to go if it were not important.
"Just fifteen minutes ago." He places a kiss on my temple, and then he releases me from the hug.
Eric might be dangerous for others, but he is an affectionate father. He never hesitates to show me how much he loves me. He made accepting him and this father-daughter relationship so easy for me that it seems like he has been with me throughout my life.
"Didn't you like the party?" He tries to read my expression, then a stern look appears on his face, "Or has somebody bothered you?"
My smile turns natural, and I can't help myself from wrapping my arms around him and hugging him. Even though I wasn't aware of him, there was a void inside me that only a father's love could fill. And that void disappeared from the warmth of his concern and love.
"I missed you, Dad." Emotions choke my throat; the word which is foreign yet familiar passes through my lips.
His body completely goes rigid for a moment, but then he tightly holds me against his chest as if he is trying to shield me from this world.
This is the magic of a father's love. The moment I find myself in his strong embrace, I have turned into a little girl whose father is the strongest man of this world.
****************************************************************
When I returned to the party, I decided to enjoy the party and try not to think much about anything. However, I can constantly feel Jarek's burning gaze following me. A number of times, I have found myself from looking in his direction, but before he can catch me staring at him, I avert my gaze.
Even though it is hard to avoid him, but I am trying my best. And I am proud to say that, until now, I have been successful.
The party is still going on, but I have moved to the backside of the clubhouse because it was getting a bit raunchy. I don't have any issues with PDA, but at the moment, I saw some people going at it in front of everyone. Well, that's my cue to leave.
"Do you know we love chasing?" It feels like out of nowhere, Jarek appeared, making me slightly jump, "But I didn't like when you ran away from me." He sits beside me, and my arm lightly brushes against his leather jacket.
"But I hate it that you are avoiding me." His gaze holds mine, making it impossible to look away.
"I wasn't avoiding you," I mumble while biting my lip.
"Really?" He chuckles, finding my lie amusing, and lightly runs his thumb beneath my bottom lip.
"Are you scared of me?" His expression turns serious while he gently cups the side of my face in his palm. "Scared of who I am?"
Surprisingly, this is the first time this thought came to my find that he is different. I know who he is, but this thought never occurred to me until he mentioned this.
So, the question is, am I afraid of his true form?
My gaze locks with his as I wait for the fear to consume me. But it never happened. However, there is another fear inside me that has nothing to do with who he is, but at the same time, it has everything to do with him.
"No." My lips part as a quiet sigh escapes through my lips, "I am not scared of you, but I am afraid of being heartbroken."
The way how I voiced out my true fear in front of him is even surprising for me.
That's great now he will think that he has shown slight interest in me, and I have become this stupid clingy girl who was planning her future with him.
"With me, you don't have to be afraid of anything." He caresses my cheek with his thumb while his gaze holds a promise, "Because I will always protect you and your heart with all my being."
His words stir a sweet pain inside my heart, making my heart clench beautifully inside my chest.
How can he manage to say the right words, which silenced all my fears and doubts?
"Gianna, please don't think too much." He presses his forehead against mine, "All this is new for me as well. I haven't felt like this for anyone the way I feel for you. Let's give each other a chance, and see where our fate leads us."
There is something about him that makes me want to trust him, and that feeling is so strong that I cave in to his request without thinking much.
"Okay." Wrapping my fingers around his wrist, I nod my head as his gaze holds mine in some sort of unbreakable tie that it is difficult for me to look away from him.
His entire face lights up, and a most beautiful smile appears on his handsome face.
He pulls me towards himself, and but I place my fingers on his lips when his lips are about to touch mine.
"We are taking things slow." Raising my eyebrows, I give him a pointed look, "Let's know each other first. The rest of the things can wait."
Even though my heart is telling me to trust him completely, a part of my mind is asking me to be careful. What if he just wants me? And once he gets what he wants then he would leave me.
Placing a kiss on my fingertips, he removes my hand away from his mouth.
"As you wish, because I am ready to wait for you as long as you want."
JarekThis is the most difficult promise I have ever made to anyone. Because my wolf is driving me crazy, demanding to me to claim her and make her mine.But I know I made the right decision. She is giving me a chance, and I have to prove myself worthy of her. I need to make her believe that it is not just a physical attraction but something more profound and real.I don't just want her. I want to win her trust and her heart.I still haven't found whether she is my mate or not because this mate bond doesn't work the way it is depicted in fiction. There aren't any sparks or tingles or any shit like that.It is just a strong pull, like the other half of you is calling you.I do feel the pull between us, but it can be just a natural attraction between two people, which my wolf is mistaking for mate bond. The only way to find out whether the connection which I am feeling is a mate bond or not is to let my wolf meet h
Gianna When I saw that woman touching him, I just saw red. I was not blind to see that they had some history. Otherwise, how can she behave so boldly around him, she even addressed him by his name or not by his title. I felt like beheading her for even standing close to him. It tore my heart to even think about him with someone else. And then another emotion twisted my heart painfully; I felt disappointed. I almost felt like a fool for trusting him. I felt he had let me down by allowing something like this to happen. I was so angry at Jarek, but even more than him, I was mad at myself for behaving like that. None of us are committed to each other. We have just decided to explore our feelings. So why did I feel so hurt? However, when Jarek held me, the chaos which was inside me settled down while a sense of comfort washed over me. All my anger, sadness, pain just disappeared in the embrace of his warmth. The k
JarekI don't know what happened, but suddenly, my wolf took control. The animal side of me is demanding to claim Gianna, but I know this is not right. The emotions which are ruling my mind are purely animalistic.Pushing Gianna away from me, I move back, creating a distance between us before I could accidentally hurt her.Her chest rises and falls as she takes deep breaths while her bewildered expression pierces my heart. My entire frame shakes violently as I try to fight for control.I had hoped that she wouldn't resist the attraction which is brewing between us, and I am glad that she didn't. If anything, she is allowing those feelings to bloom; she doesn't hesitate in showing her feelings to me. But I didn't realize how my wolf would be affected by this. Because now, when we could feel even Gianna has feelings for us, he wants her.Gianna takes a step towards me, but I stop her from coming any further by raising my hand.&
GiannaThe pain which I felt yesterday was different. It wasn't mine, but at the same time, it felt like somebody was burning me from inside.I was scared for Jarek and from Jarek.I could see the shift in him, and it was terrifying.The way he kissed me, I instantly knew something was not right. It almost seems like he was fighting with himself.How everything became meaningless for me, at the moment when I felt like I was losing him. I can't even describe the amount of pain that seared through my heart. Just the thought of being without him shakes me to the core.This fear made me realize what he means to me. I can't brush off my feelings by convincing myself that these feelings are not real. I wouldn't go as far and say that I love him, but I will not back away from admitting that what I feel for him is not just infatuation or attraction.Great, Gianna, you found the last thing that was on your m
Jarek"Alpha, our consignment has been detained by the pigs." Daniel taps his knuckles against the wooden table, "Some of our inside men has informed me that Scorpian dropped the tip to the pigs."This issue with the Scorpians is getting out of hand, and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."Get in touch with the suppliers and find out how soon the next consignment can be delivered. These Australians won't care about our long-term association if we aren't able to keep up with the supplies." Rubbing my chin with my index finger, I lean back in the chair, "And Mark, find out when Scorpians next supplies are going to be released. I think it is time to remind these bastards that what happens when someone fuck with us.""Let's blow their Bando." Tony slams his fist excitedly on the table, "It has been a long time since we have used our firecrackers." Tony rubs his hand together while smirking."Let's do voting." Lighting up th
GiannaThe clubhouse is unusually quiet, yet there is excitement buzzing in everyone here.A rival club helped the police confiscate Wolf Blood's consignment, so they have decided to retaliate. I don't know much about the club's business because no one bothers to tell me anything, which is fine. After all, I am not a part of their club.All I know is that the members, or as they call themselves wolves, have left for a revenge attack. Everyone is waiting for the good news since the wolves have left the compound.I have no idea what is expected to be a piece of good news for these people, but I hope they get the good news they are looking forward to hearing.Some of the full patched members are ordered to stay back at the club along with the prospects to protect and look after the club until the rest have returned. Even though Eric hasn't gone with Jarek, I haven't seen him the entire day and don't know where he is or what he i
JarekA growl erupts from within my chest as our lips move against each other in a kiss that is both overpowering and claiming. Grabbing her hips, I pull her closer to me while my heart is ready to burst with the bliss that is flowing through me.The feverous movement of our lips slows down and turns into something gentle yet passionate. The loud cheering around us forces us to break the kiss reminding us that we are not alone. Resting her head against my chest, she laughs when my brothers go crazy teasing us.Holding her chin, I lift her face and kiss her long and hard, ignoring the fuckers around me. She sighs against my lips when a banshee-like scream reaches our ears, ruining our moment.Leaning away, she huffs while rolling her eyes and then smiling at me. She pecks my lips as she stands up. Looking at Madeline, I find her throwing daggers at Gianna while she is screaming something at her."Shut up, bitch." Gianna waves her ha
GiannaThe thought of being with someone always scared me. But with Jarek, it feels like I am meant to be with him.All my doubts and fears seem stupid because accepting my feelings brought a feeling of liberation. The suffocation I felt trying to fight off these feelings is gone, replaced with the peace that acceptance has brought."Good Morning, Charlie." I run my hand through Charlie's fur as he snuggles beside me, making small noises.Smiling, I spoon him and sigh, feeling content with life. Well, at least for now. Charlie is a savannah cat. I found him when he was abandoned on the side of the road. He was such a tiny baby, and there was no way I could have left him there. Since then, he has been my baby and my best friend."My handsome boy." I kiss him and scratch his ears as he begins to purr loudly.After our morning cuddles, I get up to freshen up while Charlie decides that he is not in a mood to honor this wor
