Julian’s POVI got a call from Karyna’s friend, and I was able to learn that she was conscious now. Despite how I felt on the inside, after knowing that she was engaged to another man, I was glad that she was alive and safe.I wanted to go to her immediately, but Sophia refused, saying that the situation was not nice to show up. My mind flashed back to her parents, and how cold and hostile they were. But I didn't care about all that. I didn't later leave for her father’s house to confront her because I was in bad shape myself. Drunk, angry, and heartbroken. No matter how desperate I was, I couldn't go see her like this. I didn't want her to see me in this state. To know that she was the cause.That she has held me so tight on the heartstrings, tugging and pulling through like a loyal puppy.So I stayed in the club where we first met, nursing my…seventh…tenth glass? I wasn’t sure. I had lost count already. Even the bartender was looking at me funny, but I ignored him.The music blaste
Henri’s POVWhen Julian returned home, I was already getting ready for work the next day. I adjusted my tie, casting a cautious glance as my brother stumbled into the room, appearing worse for wear.The strong odor of alcohol emanating from his body made me grimace. I had the urge to walk over and assist him, but I knew he wouldn't appreciate my help. So, I stood firm, rooted to the spot, silently observing his every move.“Where do you think you’re going?” He asked, and I could see that he was gradually regaining his senses, thanks to our werewolf genes purifying his system from the alcohol. But I was rather confused by his question.“Work?” I replied with a raised brow, my response coming out as a question.“No, you’re not. I’m going out, so give me your keys,” he frowned sternly.I sighed, frustrated with his detached demeanor. “Come on, Julian. I have to go to campus. I have a lot to catch up on, and there is no way I can stay a moment longer,” I insisted, trying to reason with hi
Karyna’s POVI was still asleep when a heavy knock echoed against my door, jolting me awake. I sat up with a groan, rubbing at my eyes and my aching head.My father's voice, cold and commanding, rang in my ears, and with a brief sweep of my surroundings, I was sourly reminded that I was back in his house, much to my displeasure.That alone made me want to bury myself back under the covers and go back to sleep. At least in my dreams, I wouldn't have to deal with all of this bullshit.“Are you fucking your professor?” He asked the moment he barged into my room, the veins on his face becoming more prominent by the minute, I thought he might explode.“So what?” I returned angrily, rolling my eyes in annoyance. I didn’t bother trying to be polite anymore. From the moment he threw me out, he ceased to be my father. I was hellbent on frustrating him until he sent me out of his house again. The expression on my face must have told him my intention because he threw my phone at me, causing me
Julian’s POV“You’ve got fifteen minutes before my mom walks in,” Karyna whispered when we pulled away from the intense kiss. I shook my head, unable to believe she wanted me here, right now. I wanted her too. Badly. Regardless of whatever happened in the last 24 hours. “Fourteen, Jules.” She purred, looking at me like she needed me inside her immediately. Her eyes were so full of lust and arousal, mirroring mine, and I wanted to take her right here, right now, in the roughest possible way. But I couldn’t. I glanced at her bandaged arm, cursing Leah and anyone else I suspected of harming her before I lowered my pants. She grinned with delight at the sight of my bulge, her hand caressing the erection beneath my briefs.“Your cock also wants me. Look, it's so erect,” she moaned, rubbing my cock.I groaned inwardly. “Don't make a sound. I don't want your dad putting a bullet in my head,” I whispered to her, glancing cautiously at the door.“Don’t worry. I will be as silent as I can be.
Karyna's POV“I'm claiming you,” I breathed into the phone. “You can't ever cum inside any other girl,” The intensity of my voice matched the fire that burned within me, a primal need to make him mine completely. “I have never cum in any girl except you, baby,” he replied, and I smiled, staring at the picture I sent him. It was the hottest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. And I could tell that it was the same for him.The way he lost control, growling and fucking me deep, was something he had never done before. I almost thought he imprinted the shape of his cock inside of me.I felt a surge of happiness as our relationship seemed to fall back into place. In that moment, it felt like nothing could stand in the way of us getting closer to each other.But then reality crashed in, a heavy weight settling in the pit of my stomach. I was abruptly reminded of the looming obstacle that threatened to tear us apart. My father, with his unwavering determination to marry me off to a man I
Julian’s POVI held Karyna tightly, enjoying the warmth emanating from her skin. I wish I could stay like this forever, but I knew that it wasn’t possible. So, I could only engrave this moment into every fiber of my being. I knew she felt the same way as well. But she might never reveal that to me. And that truly washed away any arousal I got from our intense kiss. Why do I have to keep our relationship a secret? Why do I have to follow the wishes of her father? He was a mere human. I was far stronger, richer, and more powerful than he could ever be. But, I couldn't go against him. Because of those fucking anonymous rogues. They made it hard for me to protect her in the way I wanted, that was the only reason why I felt hesitant about getting her out of here.Yet, I couldn’t let all this unfold right under my nose. I couldn’t even let another man stare at Karyna except Henri.“Karyna,” I began after a long pause, and she looked up at me, those blue orbs of hers, shining like sapphir
Henri’s POVI sighed, leaning against the sink and looking up at my reflection through the mirror. I looked like a mess. I looked tired. No, I felt tired. Water droplets cascaded from my face, splashing against the sink as I leaned heavily against it. My reflection stared back at me from the foggy mirror, a tired and worn-out version of myself. With a heavy heart, I realized how much I had trailed off the path of decency. The person staring back at me was a shadow of who I used to be. Overall, for the first time in 14 years, I was depressed again.I’ve been thinking about Karyna a lot. I grew depressed with every passing second that she was not here with me. It was hard not to, especially being in an empty, large house that we were once the only ones residing in.It was tough, but I preferred the solitude. I mean, it was way better than having Julian back here, glaring at me with disappointment in his eyes.I cleaned my face with a towel and stepped out of the bathroom, still feeli
Karyna’s POVIn this blissful moment, I couldn’t help but let my mind wander back into reality. I remembered that I still had to get a degree, and also the unfortunate news that Sophia had told me.I felt my mood grow sour. My mind subconsciously avoided thinking about it, but the fact that I would have to meet Finn— and even talk to him because of a stupid group project angered me to death.“So what if he is the Group project manager?” I heard Julian ask, and my body loosened up quite a bit.I explained the situation to him, sharing my annoyance. “I know he’s going to spite me by putting me in his group or a group that I might have lots of trouble adjusting to, and that will drive me crazy,” I groaned. “This stupid injury isn’t making things faster to go to school,”“Don’t worry, Karyna.” Julian asserted, placing a hand on my shoulder reassuringly. “You’ll heal soon,”I raised a brow at that. Was he not listening to me? It wasn't a fucking bruise! I scoffed in disbelief. “I got my
