Sitting at touching distance from him made me realise how much closer danger was getting. Kai knew my whereabouts which would mean Xerxes wasn’t far. The thought itself was frightening in a soul-shuddering way. My heart was barely at ease. I couldn’t even hear Augustus and Kai conversing. Future alliance. Alliance where Augustus would suffer for my runaway. What was I ought to do now? I couldn’t face Xerxes for I couldn’t handle his wrath. He brought pain and suffering and the fact that Kai had witnessed the proximity of Augustus and me, was going to bring hell on Earth. The hell that would burn me. My body shivered. Kai’s eyes were enclosing on me now and then, there were provoking words that he was telling me through his eyes. And now, I couldn’t think straight as I gulped and grabbed Augustus’s shirt tugging it. “I-I need to use the bathroom,” I mumbled, avoiding his eyes. I shouldn’t lie to him but I couldn’t tell him the truth for that would bring him more suffering. Sensing m
My feet thumped against the forest floor, dizziness slowly creeping through my head, heart pounding loudly in my chest and yet I couldn’t figure out where I was running. It was so difficult, so paranoid to think that he was coming for me. Though Kai hadn’t said the words, I knew, that the moment he would be back, Xerxes would be coming for me. The thought scare the thought of living inside me. All the efforts Augustus made to keep me alive were now in vain. I was again at the beginning, running for my life from the one who was supposed to protect me with his life. A strangled sob left my lips as I harshly wiped the tears with the back of my hand. The dress I wore for Augustus was now drenched in my sweat and forest dirt. Managing my raging emotions seemed like a difficult job to do since all I could focus on was my mate. The one who was the very reason for my intensifying fear. My feet gave up and I find myself slumping against the tree as my limbs trembled and tears soaked my chee
“And you ran? Why must you be so adverse to Alpha? You should’ve talked to him, Katarina,” Avi complained, his voice heavy with disappointment. “I was just….trying to get some air,” “Yes, right. By running a mile and passing out in middle of the forest. You’ve quite delusional tastes, I must agree,” Avi did not believe me. Nor my words, neither my actions. I wouldn’t believe myself too. I couldn’t tell him the truth for it’d bring complications, but I could not run either. As much as I wanted to escape this cruel reality, somewhere deep down I knew I had to face it. If not now, then in future. But there was no escape. Xerxes had installed so much fear in me. He had me enthralled with his outer beauty that I couldn’t see the beast behind his beautiful eyes. I still regretted the moment I met him, only if I hadn’t–don’t go there. Avi was constantly breathing down my neck the moment he find my unconscious body under the tree.
“The wolves are ready, Alpha,”“Good. We’ll attack at dawn,”*****My back collided against the wall of his bedroom as his lips hungrily pressed against mine. When his erection pressed against my heated core, I let out a lewd moan. His tongue fumbled across my mouth and found mine, greedily sucking each other off, his hands sliding under my dress as he bunched it up on my waist. “Augustus, please,” I threw my head back in enormous pleasure as his lips trailed down to my chin and he left tingling pecks as his experienced tongue brushed across my neck. Moving his hands under my dress, I jumped at the contact of his cold hands against my warm skin. Electrifying jolts erupted at the point of contact. I was not thinking rationally anymore, I wanted him as much as he wanted me. Though whatever we were doing was a sin. But this sin felt so good and so forbidden. As Avi suggested, I talked to Augustus patiently. And he respe
“Happy birthday, Kate,” I smiled at his words before turning around and giving him the biggest hug. “Lucien!” He chuckled in my arms and spun us around as I giggled. “How have you been?” his voice still as fresh as breeze and soft talking to me. I could not believe he was finally here. Two months, he had been gone for two months now. I was anxious if he was going to show up on my birthday today or not. “Finally,” I breathed in placing my hands over my hips and I playfully glared at him. “Now you’re showing me your ridiculous face after two months? Where have you been, Lucien? I missed you, you dimwit,” I said, glancing at his direction. “You’re aware of the reason, Katarina.” He replied, the amusement leaving his tone replaced with stiff words. “How was your trip? Did you find something?” I asked, looking at his face. Two months and he had lost so much weight. Dark circles under his eyes, unshaved chin and messy hairs. Lucien always take
Darkness. It’s always believed to be a place of fire and brimstones, loneliness and gloom. A place made for me since I was a child, but for me? That’s my home, my solace. ‘Help me, Xerxes!’ The same words rang in my ears as my demons threatened to choke me but I closed my eyes and shook my head. I had something more important to give attention to.Darkness was the place I was thrown into while growing up. The day I lost my parents, I lost the ability to feel. And that was also when I went from an orphaned, broken kid to a delinquent everyone was afraid of. With my pack, I was stronger. And alone? I became an unstoppable force that no one messed with. The throne of Alpha of Alpha’s that my father left for me became my power, my domain. I became a pariah, cross me and you were liable to end up in the shallow grave. My claws moved faster than words. “Let me go!” The man screamed as I watched my beta cut through his skin. “Please, I didn’t do anyth
The warm rays of the sun hit my face as I tried to open my heavy lids. A warm body snuggled to my back radiating heat and a loving feeling I felt after too long. It was as though time had finally stopped piercing through all the tensed memories that once enveloped me in a cloud of anticipation, and now had finally blessed me with the love and care I desperately seek. A soft yet small smile managed to creep over the curve of my lips as I breathed in his minty sandalwood scent that brought nirvana.“I wish my every morning is as blissful as this one.”I chuckled as he muzzled his stubble over the soft skin of my shoulder blade. The realisation that my body was naked in his arms brought a blush over my cheeks. His thick morning wood nestled between my ass cheeks. My breath hitched.“I think it’s too early for this.” Augustus’s deep laugh reverberated through his chest and vibrated over my back. Raw and deep. Sun rays made his blue eyes shine with love. People
“Rasmus!” We both yelled at the same time as panic overtook my senses. The juice Mikaela poured into the glass spilt over the counter. Despite the fatigue, I ran to his room. “Rasmus!” I screamed as I almost toppled over the carpet before Mikaela caught me. Our horrified eyes looked around with worry but it was soon narrowed into confusion. “Rasmus?” This time my voice came out confused and startled. Rasmus was not injured or hurt, but he was standing over the bed with a scared expression as he looked at the ground, his fingers pointing to something behind the table. “There’s a lizard there.” I pinched the bridge of my nose. Seriously. “And you screamed?” Mikaela complained walking to him and I narrowed my eyes at his timid fear of lizards. I thought something bad happened. “I-it was jumping!” He fired back as Mikaela helped him down the bed. His eyes were under the table, cautious as he ran to me and behind my back. “Let’s go down,” she suggested and we followed behind her. Ras
