Two hours was just such a long wait. Alyssa had long finished sipping on her coffee, lounging as patiently as she could in a comfortable velvet chair. What she could think was, Regina’s grandmother had great taste indeed. She closed her eyes and listened carefully to the soft ticks of the gigantic clock above her head.Fortunately, after the incident with Nathaniel, she completely stopped frequenting those bars and nightclubs that didn’t do her any good other than burn her pockets. Sure, she had more money than she would ever need in the next ten years but what was the point of spending in a place she felt she didn’t quite belong? She was just there to find someone to pop her cherry in the first place. Now, there was just no purpose left for her to be there.After that, she browsed around the internet and read random stuff. She hadn’t the least of an idea how the time just went by as it did. When Nathaniel eventually texted her, he was already waiting outside the cafe in his casual c
Nathaniel looked at the calm woman in his car and he thought for one long minute. Firstly, having a bond with one of the most capable young women in Neon City wasn’t something he could gloat about. For one, he was always the man in his relationship with Regina. Since the good old days, he was the one who was super sweet with her, cajoling her when she was afraid, or giving her feet a massage when she was tired after a long date.Then came the days when they both graduated and pursued their careers. He had secured a job following his internship at BX Co. Knowing that his meagre salary wouldn’t bring Regina happiness, and he had planned to propose to her at a later part in life, he tried harder and applied to bigger companies.That was when the former HR manager of AD Systems noticed him and roped him into joining on the spot. Immediately, he became a junior sales employee of AD, although everything for him was rather unbelievable at that point. He passed his probation period with flyin
In the wild, Alyssa felt her senses arising and a mixture of emotions. The state of a wolf back in its natural habitat was such a profound sensation. Energy surged through her veins, thrilling her to her core when he plunged his wet fingers into her continuously.Her breaths hastened. She had never done it in the open before, and furthermore, it was such a rural place that she feared someone was going to walk in on them.Nathaniel really had her at that. Any objection from her was met with his very hot lips and the synchronous thrusts of their tongues in each other’s mouths as they united with a passionate kiss. He dabbed his wet fingers on her already damp underwear, rubbing off her juices.“Not so fast,” he broke the kiss and rasped against her earlobe, immobilising her with the mature, masculine aura. His vibes were so strong that they radiated so hard inside her, teasing every part of her as she fought her and Aria’s desire to mate. Alyssa had never come across someone so unde
The vehicle started rumbling again, much to her indignation. After her exhaustion earlier, Nat simply hadn’t given her ample time to rest and insisted they leave immediately. She was extremely disappointed. What she thought to be a ‘chilling session’ had turned out to be some escapade for herself. What’s more, she ended up at the mercy of the man she had coveted for herself. Yes, she hadn’t meant to mark him, but she had never anticipated it would come to this!A gigolo, who she only wanted his services for one night, turned out to have so many connections with her, the CEO of AD Systems, Corp. It was a good thing she was a puny werewolf because if she was a huge beast, he would have been dead by now. She vowed that in time, she would make him regret messing with her. But first things first. Once he signed the contract, she would have all the power she could over him!Now, she hadn’t expected that she, the haughty and independent CEO who was the youngest
“I’m afraid I don’t have very long, Nat,” Wisteria’s sweet voice sounded a little weak. Alyssa almost stopped dead in her actions, clutching the plate in her trembling hands.“Not very long, Grandma. Ally and I are very loving, and we can’t stand a single day without each other.”She put down the dripping plate in the dish drainer. His words drove chills down her spine. She knew it was a lie, but just to hear these sugar-coated words coming from Nat’s mouth just made her hair stand on end.Alyssa reminded herself that she was a werewolf, and no man should be able to command her in this way.But wasn’t she just contradicting herself when he had insisted on her washing the dishes? When she drew up a contract for him with her lawyer, she expected that she would be the one on the other end of the reins, not him.He was just an escort who she accidentally marked! Even becoming her contractual lover was just because of that damn bond!
At the dining table of Wisteria’s cottage, it suddenly felt very sombre.She could feel Nat’s blinding gaze on her as she kept her eyes on the plate in front of her. At the same time, his presence was enough to summon her desire. Aria was just as needy as she was, but she tried to calm herself and be patient.Nat wanted more than just their mate bond. He had a fearsome hatred toward werewolves, so as long as she could, she had to prevent him from finding out the truth about her. Otherwise, she might even die in Jave. The mystical village had wards that overpowered her werewolf power, furthermore, she was only a young wolf. She found her wolf ten years ago, but she had not undergone the training of a werewolf, and hence she didn’t know how to be one, much lead a pack.The events of the day before still remained fresh on her mind. Nat revealed the truth about the place being a bane for evil creatures, but the disdain in his voice raised her suspicion about his hatred for creatures of he
“Then, what about Regina?”The look on his face was strangely profound. She felt his eyes seared with a fiery gaze on her. It was dangerously intense. She had wanted to look away, but he compelled her to look back at him.“Don’t… Don’t you mention that name ever,” he spat out at her furiously. “What are you going to do?” Out of the house, she felt comfortably calm. Other than how he was going to murder her with his stare, she felt a lot better, as if she was freed from the force that limited her wolf powers.“Nothing.” He placed his hands on her shoulders and whispered near her ears. “Just think that you’re here with me, and nobody else. No Regina, no other person.”“Nathaniel Underwood.”She rolled her eyes and carelessly flicked a hair away from her face. Above their heads, the moon shone brightly. It made her feel absolutely sensual. But she ignored the call of the wild, and thought firmly about what she was here for. While she detested strongly how she had been made a fool by t
Wolfless.Those words rang deep in her mind, even though Nat had pronounced them moments ago. If not that Nat had resumed walking, she would still have been trembling. She took a step at a time, walking until they passed the entrance. Nat’s palm on hers made her skin tingle, suggestive of an exchange of energy gushing between them.She absorbed what Nat had just told her, her werewolf powers weak inside the structure. So, Regina was a wolfless werewolf. It seemed tricky: Nat having had a relationship with her for years, yet she was his perceived enemy. She didn’t know what exactly was Nat’s origin other than what he allowed her to believe; yet, their bond caused her to disregard everything about him and want him more than ever.Some loud noises boomed just in front of them, alerting Nat to the scenario. Nat seemed unbothered by the commotion. Instead, his eyes took on a weird glow of blue. Nothing surprised her about him at this point in time.It was apparent he wasn’t that weakling of
