>>Egon“What is it?” Ulric tugged my shoulder while we sat in the lounge of his penthouse, “Hello?” He waved his hand in front of my face since I was spacing out, “Egon?”“No,” I shook my head as I snapped back to reality, “I-” I shrugged it off, “It’s nothing,”“Are you sure?” He asked with a frown and I knew he was suspicious.“Uh,” I paused, “I think,” I scratched the back of my neck, “I’m just getting a bad feeling.”“About what?”“Portia,” I looked out of the window at the night view. It’s a common thing between mates, being able to tell something is wrong.“How bad?” Ulrich stood, “Should we go to her?”He immediately stood up and was ready to leave when I grabbed his hand, “No,” And sat him back down on the couch, “I already risked it enough by meeting her alone and acting on my impulses.” That was very dangerous and stupid of me.Far more than one can think but it was also inevitable. I mean, how could I stop myself when I saw her like that?Pole dancing!?! Where’s her pride a
>>Parisa (Portia)It was my first time drinking and I had no idea what to expect. I’ve seen many wolves drink in the pack and they all seemed fine so I have no idea why my head suddenly started getting a little dizzy.“It’s getting to your head.” Derek snickered and drank some fancy drink from his fancy glass while we both sat in his office on the two-seater couch. It was 3 am on a weekday so the club was now closed and almost everyone had gone home.“Why?” I looked at him and frowned.“Probably because it’s your first time drinking.” He finished the neon blue drink and placed it on the table and picked another glass with a pink drink from it.Another bartender was asked to make our drinks and Nial was given a short leave to recover. Derek asked me again if I had seen that man who attacked me anywhere before but I denied it because I truly hadn’t. I still have no clue why it all happened and I couldn’t really think about it either because my mind wasn’t working properly for some reaso
>>Portia (Parisa)The feeling was somehow very familiar. And the moment I saw and recognized Derek’s wife I knew I was going to go through hell again. Just seeing her made me feel bad, and so, what followed was obviously going to be worse.“Wait-” Derek raised his hands up in the air and glanced at me, “She-” He wasn’t sure what to say to her, “It’s not,” He kept stuttering, “It’s not what it looks like.” He looked at her and said firmly breaking my heart.I know full well, why he said those words, but it still hurt me.“Then what was that?” His wife stomped toward him with an angry disappointed look, “What was that!?” She slapped his chest in disgust, “I’m not blind!” She yelled, “I saw you kiss her!!”“That was a mistake-” He blurted it out immediately then paused at his own words yet he couldn’t bring himself to look at me. He stood there with his eyes wide and a troubled expression with his hands still in the air next to his chest while I stared at him in horror and agony.My hear
>>PortiaI wonder if there’s anyone as miserable as I am.To be rejected by two people who were meant to be mine, would anyone be able to handle that? Because I seem to be breaking with every step I take.The night was silent and lifeless.I brought my fingers to my lips and the kiss we shared came back to my mind. It was such a tender and warm feeling. Such an amazing and cozy sensation that I didn’t think about the consequences at all.I looked up at the sky. It was a full moon tonight and I stopped and stared at it with a broken heart.“Why?” I asked the moon goddess, “Why do you hate me?” I whispered the words while tears welled up in my eyes. I continued to stare at the brightly shining circle in the dark sky, “I didn’t do anything wrong…” I sniffled and the tears started streaming down my cheeks, “Why curse me?” I sniffled once again which was followed by endless silence, “In your eyes, am I a mistake too?”…Right.I scoffed at myself.She wouldn’t answer me.I looked down in d
>>Portia I stood there dumbfounded.I had no idea what answer to give him.Should I even be getting money from someone who tried to kill me because I smelled like Egon? It clearly means he’s after Egon and wanted to kill me because he thought I meant something to him. Right? Because I don’t see another possible explanation.“Nothing,” I shook my head at him, “I don’t want your money.”“Are you sure?” He smirked, looking at me in amusement.I frowned.Am I sure? He made me rethink.I scratched my head as I thought about it.If he’s Egon’s enemy should I be worried? Egon already abandoned me, so even if I take his money it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s not like he’ll find out what Egon is to me and to be fair, Egon isn’t anything to me and he won’t be anything to me in the future either. He left me and I don’t see him coming back.“Um,” I shook my head, “No,”“So?” He folded his arms, “How much do you want?”HmmmI knitted my eyebrows together.“How much is a lot?” I asked a pretty inno
>>PortiaI didn’t come out of my room the whole day and Jena didn’t come for me. She left for work on her own and I mostly slept to drown my sorrow. After midnight when she came back home somewhere around three in the morning, I was up.I couldn’t sleep anymore since that’s all I did the whole day but I didn’t go out to greet her and I wasn’t expecting her to come to me either. Deep down I was mortified that if I met her she might ask me to leave.So, when there was one on the bedroom door, it scared the living shit out of me.“Parisa,” She called my name, “Come out.” She demanded as if she knew I was up. I didn’t respond at first but then she knocked again, “Come out, I know you’re up.” I heard her step back, “I’m waiting in the kitchen.” And then I heard her walk away.…I sat up on the bed and ran my fingers through my hair to tone them down. Then I took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out the door. I went to the kitchen where I saw Jena sitting on the chair. I walked to the t
>>PortiaHarou and Derek had one big difference between them that wasn’t actually literally big, it was tiny, very very tiny but anyone could tell them apart because of that.Harou had a beauty spot on the outer side of his face, under his left eye that just added to his charm more.He extended his hand toward me, “Nice to meet you Parisa,” The first thing I looked at was his fingers. I was searching for a ring but I didn’t find it and weirdly enough it made me relax a little, then gave me anxiety.Is he not married? But his twin brother is…But he might have a lover or maybe even a fiance… I pursed my lips and shyly extended my hand toward his, “Nice to meet you too,” I said softly and we shook hands.Why is this happening?I softly retreated my hand and he smiled at me making my heart hurt.Why is the moon goddess being so mean to me? Were two rejections not enough? Do I have to go through with a third? Because I don’t see this going anywhere good. Harou is a human too, there’s no
>>PortiaMy heart pounded at his words.No!!I shook my head and screamed at myself mentally!Absolutely not! I rejected the feeling. We’re not going there…My wolf whined at me.No…I gulped.We can’t…She whined again and this time it was different from all the other times. I wasn’t the only one who had been hurt by the previous two, she had been too, so she didn’t pressure me with anything yet the feeling of loneliness and longing was still shared by
