“Mate?” I whispered while he still held me closed to him. I wanted to ask what did he mean by mate? I have read a few novels and if they were all true, mate meant soulmates. Was it true? Was he my soulmate? I could still feel the tingles all over my body and the heat that embraced me when he was close. My wide eyes searched his for answers but his eyes only showed rage. I discovered that he didn’t like me being his mate but it was not my fault or was it?
“Talon,” called someone. Our necks snapped to our side where a man stood at the door of the room. I recognized him as one of the men from the dining table. Talon jerked me away from him once he saw the man and beside her stood Aurora who gaped at both of us. I inhaled a few breaths and stepped back from him. My hand went to my chest and I felt my heart bouncing inside. I heard feet shuffles and Aurora was beside me with her hand on my shoulder.
“Are you okay, Rose?” she asked.
It was dark. It was empty. My eyes wandered everywhere only to find darkness and nothing else. I felt goosebumps prickle all around my body. Thud. I jumped as the voice came from my left. With my eyes wide, I stayed rooted to my spot and felt a gust, sending chills to my body but it was not the wind. I noticed the shadow of the figure that ran past me, faster than any human being. Another terrifying sound echoed in my ears and I was about to pee in my short shorts. Growls. I didn’t need to second guess what it was. I gulped and forced my legs to move but they didn’t. My heartbeat accelerated and my knees started trembling beneath me. I tried to move my legs but it was as if they were glued to the ground. I slapped my knees and tucked at them to move but they didn’t budge. I heard the running of footsteps, coming towards me. Approaching me faster than I would’ve liked. I furiously looked around, searching for anything that could help me but the
TALON'S POV She was going to jump. She was going to jump.’ ‘She didn’t. I saved her,’ My wolf was still startled from the little incident. I could still feel the vibration it was sending directly to my brain. ‘What if she had jumped? How could you lead her to do something like that?’ he said and I could sense the fear in his voice. My wolf wasn’t afraid of anything. But the moment I had laid my eyes on Rose, it had been clear that she was my Mate. But how? Didn’t she die that day? Bleeding. Is it another trick of the Moon Goddess to punish me? ‘I didn’t force her. It was for her own good,’ I spoke and felt him shake his head in disapproval. Either way, I had to tell her. So, what was the point in hiding? And I was not going to believe it just yet. It must be a trick. It must be him. That bloody Rico Mooney. ‘It’s him. She ain’t real. That Mooney is trying to fool us again!’ ‘He’s a maniac but he has no power over mates,’ my wolf barked angrily. Fuck. I paced in my room. The image o
TALON'S POV It was stupid of me to stand here. I couldn’t remember for how long I stood outside this door, listening to her breathing. She was asleep. For the first time, I was hesitant to open the door of my own house. Guess there’s always a first for everything. I was drinking earlier and then I was back here again. It was as if my legs were working on their own. I released a frustrated sigh and opened the door. It was dark inside but I could see her still figure on the bed. As I approached her, her scent embraced my nostrils. It was so strong and so tempting. My fingers folded into fists, controlling my urge to hug her. This was how the bond between the mates worked. You would have the continuous urge to be closer to your mate. I wanted nothing but to touch her and kiss her plump lips. I wanted to rip that dress off her and claim her. She looked so beautiful in the dim moonlight. You shouldn’t feel these things. Not towards her. ‘You can’t control it. Just claim her as yours,’ my
ROSE’S POV I stirred from my sleep when I heard knocks on my door. Someone entered my room before I could open my eyes. “GOOD MORNING!” a very bubbly voice cheered which forced me to sit straight on my bed. I rubbed my eyes which ached from crying in the night. A girl paced towards the window and opened the curtains. She stepped closer to my bed and then faced me. A bright smile glued to her face. Her eyes shone in the sunlight from the window. She was my height with curls bouncing on her shoulder. I blinked and she did the same. “Mor..ning...,” I said rather awkwardly, displaying my clenched teeth which made her giggle. “I’m your assigned maiden. And you have only twenty minutes to get ready for breakfast,” she spoke and at the same time my stomach growled. I embarrassingly placed my hands on my tummy which made her glance downwards. I was still dazed from the last night. Why did I dream of that beast again? Those golden eyes, ready to kill me. I shivered. That dream felt all too
His hands caress my body, which erupted goosebumps everywhere he touched me. I was burning hot as his breath fanned over my face. My eyes met those amber orbs, which made me lose my mind all over again. He snaked his hands around my waist, pulling me towards him, even though there was not a single inch of space between us. His lips met mine and my stomach felt as if it had exploded with millions of fireworks. My mind screamed at me to back away from him, but my body did the opposite. My hands went around his hair and grabbed a fist of his brown locks while his tongue played inside my mouth. Devouring me. Tasting me. I kissed him back with the same need that he showed me. He tasted like wine and smelled like alcohol.He pushed me to the wall behind me, and a groan escaped my lips. He didn't let go of me though, as he continued to savor the taste of my lips. I heard a deep moan from him, which seemed more like a growl. Was he getting impatient? I thought. He lifted me from the
Suddenly my heart was pounding loudly inside my chest and the loud music from the club stopped ringing in my ear. I could only hear my heart beating. My hold around the glass tightened and holding my breath, I slowly looked behind to the person who tapped on my shoulder.“Hey!” I released the breath I was holding when the familiar eyes of Emily looked back at me. I felt relieved seeing her here. I didn’t know why I was scared of that man from the dream but there was something weird about him. Emily took a seat beside me and ordered a drink for herself while my eyes involuntarily went to the same place where I looked at those amber eyes. Was I daydreaming? I thought. I decided to completely forget about the stranger and focus on Emily right now. Taking a deep breath, I turned to look at Emily who was looking terribly upset.Her eyes had lost their brightness and they were not shining as they always did. I placed my hand over her and gently squeezed it.
“Who are you?” I had asked him but before I knew what was happening, he came to me and placed something on my mouth, preventing my scream to reach anyone’s ear. I realized that it was a cloth he had placed on my mouth and there must be chloroform on it. I panicked as my mind went blank. I didn’t know what to do. I wiggled in his hold but he only grabbed me from behind and not later than a minute I was losing my consciousness. I fainted in his arm and fell into the darkness that surrounded me afterward.My eyes fluttered open and a groan escaped my mouth when my head ached. With my eyebrows furrowed in confusion, I looked around me. I was in a very unfamiliar room and the walls and the ceiling was covered in white paint. It was empty besides a chair in the very corner of the room while I stood in the middle. I moved my hand and it took me by surprise when I realized that my hands were tied to the pole behind me. I nudged my hands as if I would be able t
The first thought that came into my mind was that he was crazy. Mate? What did he mean by mate.“What?” I breathed out and looked at him with my eyebrows creased. “What are you taking about? Mate?” I said and continued, “look I don’t know what you’re talking but please let me go,” I pleaded while he silently watched me.“I promise I won’t tell anyone about this,” I said as my chest heaved up and down. My hair was glued to my forehead as I was sweaty and scared. All I wanted was to leave this place. I wanted to go home and to take a shower and sleep. I was now regretting ever going to that club. I should’ve called Emily at my home, at least then I would never be here. My eyes leaked with tears. I looked terrible and vulnerable, and I hated myself for being like that. I was never the one to cower down from anyone then why him? What was with him that scared me? Hi
