~Audrina~I was about to walk away when James pulled me backwards. He took my hand into his hands and I saw a soft look flash across his face. I knew this look wasn’t going to last for a long time. James was known for his act of switching up and very soon he was going to switch, yell or just do something that would upset me in general.As James hands traced the lines of my fingers. I felt the feeling I had felt the time I had left the room. It was the sudden burst of excitement rushing through my like a thousand meteoroid.My silly heart was beating in my chest rapidly,and I wanted it to calm down. ‘This was James remember.‘I said to myself. But my words had no impact on my it was like I was trying to use rocks to stop a fire. It was useless.I groaned intensely and my wolf was the only my one who had heard me. I waited for her to speak or finally tell me she knew a way to put me out of my misery. Sadly, James bold voice had cut through my thoughts and I placed my focus on him.W
~Audrina~I scanned the room, looking for who the scent belonged to. It was strong and seemed to be alluring too. Then suddenly, I noticed a figure coming from the window. At first, I was about to panic because I couldn’t make out who it was. It was quite dark, and the only thing I could see was the figure looming closer and closer, coming to the spot where the moonlight was shining the most.I moved backwards, grabbing onto the duvet.“Whoever you're, stay away, or I’m going to alert the guards.” I had said. The person chuckled, and it was through this melodic chuckle that I realized that I knew who it was. It was Ryan, and by the time I realized this, Ryan had stepped into the light.He flashed a smile my way, and I looked at him alertly, shocked to see that he was here. How did he get here in the first place? I wondered as I stared at him. I was finding it difficult to believe that he was actually here, and after several thoughts, I decided to convey how I felt.“How do you get her
~Audrina~With a wave of disgust rushing through me at the very notion of touching him, I backed away from Ryan's caresses. I swung my hand up and gave him a painful smack across the cheek, completely out of control with fury and disdain. "How dare you?" My voice was shaking with anger, and I spat. "Your touch makes me sick!"“Don’t you ever use those filthy hands of yours to touch me! I’m your mate, and I’ll never be.”But Ryan's response was nothing short of chilling, his eyes narrowing with predatory intent as he stepped closer, his demeanor growing more menacing by the second."You belong to me, Audrina," he growled, his voice dripping with possessiveness. "And I will have you, whether you like it or not."“Nobody can save you from me, not even the goddess herself, so blab all you want.”His comments were so daring that they gave me a chill down my spine and a feeling of dread I had never felt before. However, despite my growing terror, I also felt a glimmer of defiance and a reso
~Audrina~As much as Ryan always seemed to have a loud mouth, his might was nothing compared to that of my actual mate, James.If he hadn’t shown up on time, the goddess knows what would have happened to me. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself over the disgust and trauma.If this day passes without me getting hurt, I will give praise to the goddess and pray that she keeps Ryan far away from me.I just couldn’t understand his obsession with me. If only his wife were still alive, she would have saved me from this constant stalking and attempted kidnapping.“No need to fret; James is here now.” My wolf whispered.Yes, the sigh of relief that escaped me when I saw him was something I would never forget.Once, it was a case of the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, but at least the Devil might give me the chance of staying immortal, so I would rather be with James.As a hushed silence fell between us, Ryan’s face was painted with a mixture of rage and shock.“You were supposed to be he
~James~My skull felt like it was being hammered away as a throbbing agony slowly returned and consciousness slowly returned to my mind. I struggled to see my surroundings as I blinked against the faint light that was slowly permeating the space. Beside me, Audrina was staring at my face with concern."James!" I was dragged out of the fog of slumber by her voice, which was a mixture of worry and relief. I had a hard time lifting myself up since my body hurt every time I moved. I sat up against the headboard, and Audrina rushed to my side to lend her support."For how long was I out?" With a scratchy and dry throat, I rasped. Audrina wiped a strand of hair out of her face, her brow furrowed in concern. "Just a few hours," she said, seeming a little relieved. "I was starting to worry."My sweet girl.All those times that I was without her, it felt like my life had no color, and then the realization dawned on me that I was standing between life and death.All I could think of was her. I
~AUDRINA~Despite the fact that I might have a connection to Ryan’s mate, it didn’t give him the right to feel like he owned me. I hated being compelled to do something against my will, I mean, that was how my relationship with James kicked off at first but at least, I was given a choice and the people around were tender unlike some people were super entitled.And to think that he went so extreme by sending Mabel into unconsciousness, that action right there was highly unforgivable and I would make sure that he paid dearly for it.I was supposed to decide whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and I couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t just back down from the chase.Luckily, I was able to revive James if not I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself. So many things had happened in my life but what happened previously felt like my life was equally about to end alongside James.“Ryan is such a jerk.” I cussed, imagining myself ruining the perfect face that he th
~AUDRINA~ As his body prowled against mine in the dark and his minty breath fanned my neck, I moaned softly, anticipating the rest of pleasure ride but we didn’t even get the chance to do that as knock came to the door. We both exchanged glances as if one of us was waiting for the other to grant permission but an awkward silence only fell between us at the end. “Aren’t you going to get that?” I asked him in hushed whispers. His eyes gleamed before looking back as though he was still contemplating on the next action to take. “Whoever is there can wait, you’re more important.” He dismissed. And my face was torn between being painted with a red blush or squeezed into a frown of disapproval. “What if it’s urgent? Alpha duties, remember?” I brought to his notice and he let out a groan of frustration before pulling away from me. “You’re no fun,” he mumbled as he dragged his feet to the door like a toddler whose father had grounded for a week. Although, I desperately wanted to know wh
~AUDRINA~If Ryan wanted me to be his obedient girl, then I would do as he wishes, as long as my mother’s life was spared. I could even go as far as laying down my life for her, because what was the true meaning of the past few years?“I must go and save my mother.” I bolted into the room so I could prepare for my journey.I didn’t even have a minute to spare because, knowing Ryan, who was impatient and easily cunning if he wanted to be, he could easily change the time frame, and I was scared of the uncertainties that encircled my inability to meet up.“What? I’m not going to let you go there all by yourself; it could be a trap.” As expected, James refused, but I hated to be the one to hear the news of my recent stubbornness.“I don’t care if it is a trap; my mom is in a bigger one than we can ever imagine.” I countered him, still selecting the essentials that I needed.“Please, just relax; they are using my mother against you.” He tried to talk some sense into my head, but it was too
