AUTHOR'S POV "Are you telling me that I can have this car? You've got to be kidding, right?" Joshua shrugged and put one of his arms on the steering wheel. As he did this, Aileen saw the veins that ran through his arms. Aileen continued to stare at Joshua. Aileen had noticed this when she first saw Joshua's upper body while he was training her, but she would never stop being surprised by his body type and structure. Joshua had a physical shape called an hour glass, which was unusual to see in men at the time. His defined muscular frame and chiseled chest matched his broad shoulders and sculpted arms, which were all hallmarks of his physique. His waist was tight and slender, and it gently transitioned into a toned abdomen, which combined to form a visually pleasing and stunning man. He would be the envy of a great number of guys and perhaps some women. "Are you satisfied with what you see? It will be yours going forward, so you can look at it whenever and whenever you choose; but, w
AUTHOR'S POV "Well, that forest we went to on the way here was just a diversion; the place I was really bringing you is here." Joshua parked the car in front of a massive club that was blasting music quite loudly. Because everything was so loud, Aileen immediately grimaced and covered her ears, but Joshua slowly removed her hands from her ears and held it in his. The heat from his palms enveloped her hands. "It is better to get used to it because then you will be able to associate different sounds with what they truly are." "What exactly do you mean?" Aileen tried to ask a question, but someone cut her off. As Aileen studied him, she noticed the black ears on top of his head twitching against his black outfit. The guy was aware that she was staring at him, so he gave her a tiny bow. When he raised his head again, he had a grin on his lips, and his adorable fangs were visible. "I'll be back in a few hours; in the meantime, you can take care of the car." Joshua gave over the keys to
AILEEN’S POV "Whoa… This spot is stunning; I don’t know how I could have missed it all these years that I stayed here." I breathed in the scent of the clean river and the forest that was some miles away from us. It was a good thing that we chose to come to this place, the smell of alcohol, of sex and everything that was in between burned my nose. I held onto the railings as I raised my head and closed my eyes, I listened to the wind and thought about everything that had happened. The burden that had been weighing on my heart for a prolonged amount of time was finally lifted when I transformed into a werewolf. It had been a very long time since I was able to experience this kind of freedom, this liberty at being myself. I suddenly turned to Joshua who had been staring at me, I felt his eyes but I chose to ignore it. "You haven't been to this place before, have you?” He asked me and I shook my head, my tied hair followed my small movements. Whenever people stopped, they turned to star
Author’s POV As soon as Aileen entered through the portal, her senses were assaulted by the powerful scent of werewolves and the spark of energy. In her line of sight was a vast area of land that was brimming with enticing greenery, the musty aroma of ancient forests, and the scent of the moist ground. The moon hung low in the sky, and its light shone brightly upon all of the werewolves as well as the towering trees. "Does time pass in a different way here?" Aileen had a question. In the other world, it was morning, but here in this place, it's already dark. However, based on the fact that Joshua gave a dismissive nod, it did not appear that this was the case. "The light of the moon always casts a shadow over this world. The elders say that the end of the world will come the day when the sun rises at this location. At the very least, this is what they believe." As Joshua led Aileen through the thick undergrowth, his fingers occasionally brushed against the palms of her hands. The c
AUTHOR’S POV After receiving instructions from Joshua, who had gone out to take care of something else, one of the mansion's maids showed Aileen the way to her room. Both of them proceeded along the hallways in a deafening hush; neither Aileen nor the servants spoke a word, and Aileen did not care; she was immersed in her own thoughts, and she could also sense the menacing eyes that were directed towards her. In addition to this, she questioned something that left her perplexed and wondering, "Why are you leading me in circles? You were instructed to show me the way to my room, weren't you? Even though we have passed by this location three times at this point, we have not yet arrived at where you are taking me to?" Aileen came to a halt in the middle of the hallway, crossing her arms over her chest as she peered at the maid who had been motionless. Aileen scoffed and turned her gaze away from the maid; did she really believe that she would not notice? "If it was your intention to i
"Even though Aileen has not accepted the mating mark yet, due to the fact that I stayed with her during her transformation, her inner wolf has recognized me as her mate and mine did too so there is nothing to worry about, Aileen does not have anything to do with whatever is happening." Joshua stated in a firm tone, and when Liam attempted to interject, Joshua looked at him, which made him to stop talking. He would never permit anybody to suspect Aileen of having any involvement in whatever is occurring, even with so many things happening; he would also have to cope with the council and their prejudice of humans and their old fashioned way of thinking. Joshua let out a sigh before rising from his seat and turning his back on the chair to face the windows. He turned his gaze to the moon. It is quite unlikely that he will be able to return to the mansion tonight given the volume of paperwork that is currently spread out on the table. Simply put, he wished and hoped that Aileen would n
AUTHOR’S POV "Could you please bring some order to the court?" Lord Wallace, a member of the Werewolf Council and the second in command after Joshua, smacked his staff three times on the ground, and he also infused each strike with a little bit of energy so that it would better alert them to the fact that he was getting bored of listening to them argue with one another. After they had finished their conversation, Mr. Wallace turned his head to have a look at Joshua, who was being quiet and had his attention fixed on Harriet. Joshua was aware that he was being watched, and when he turned around, the two of them made eye contact. After the fight with Vivian, Harriet called for a meeting in the council. Not only was he angry that a ‘human’ woman had dared to injure his daughter, he was also angry that his house had been embarrassed. "This gathering was convened on behalf of Lord Harriet, whose daughter was injured by the woman who claimed to be Alpha Joshua's mate." When Mr. Wallace s
AUTHOR'S POV "Did you hear? The human woman Alpha Joshua brought to the mansion last night had already bewitched him before he came back and that is why she holds so much power over him." While another of the servants was working on the laundry, one of them said, while vigorously wagging his tail. The woman who was standing next to him gave a rapid nod of her head. She had also heard about this, and she commented, "But you should not call her a human, she displayed her powers last night! Didn't you notice how she destroyed practically half of the mansion with her powers?" The woman yelled out in surprise. "You have it exactly right; that woman is not even a human. I was able to detect a faint whiff of kinship emanating from her, despite the fact that it was so faint. Now, don't stare at me like that; you know that I have the most acute sense of smell of all of us." Another woman, this time one who worked in the kitchen, chipped in some words as she sliced fresh red meat. She was on
