Lol, is Kaden right or is Sophia overreacting?
"Someone's on a war path. What did you do?" "Is she still angry?" I ask even though I know the answer. Another clanking sound fills the air making me wonder why she's taking her anger out on the pots and pans. She could ask one of the guys to be her punching bag. They'd do it willingly. Leander shakes his head pretending to be concerned but there's amusement shining in his eyes. Does this bastard enjoy seeing other people suffer? Am I suffering? From what? Sophia will get over it or I'll make her. Dammit, we are not the average couple. We don't break up over... We don't break up. Period! "Obviously. I reckon she'll be that way for the rest of the day so you have two options" My ears twitch at that. I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to dating. She's the only person I've ever wanted to be with and when it looked like it might never happen, I had a plan. Sleep with someone once every six months. Fucking someone and being in a relationship are two different things. I jus
Kaden has been acting strange since yesterday. Something happened after he apologized but I don't know what it was. He was somehow talking to someone but I couldn't hear what the other person was saying. It's strange since my hearing is just fine. I'm tempted to guilt trip him into telling me. I mean, how else am I supposed to get him to confide in me? Although it's unlikely that he might need my help but who knows? We could both be surprised. Thing is, I just finished telling him not to use his strength to get what he wants. Isn't manipulating him basically the same thing? Goddess, I didn't know how hard it would be to date him. We've been together for a little over a week and it's already this hard. Outside the bedroom, I don't know how what to do with him. I know he thinks I'm weak, not just me but everyone else. Because he's stronger, he doesn't think we'll be of any help to him and that's where he's wrong. We could help him come up with ideas or something. Unless he talks to us,
Past (Day of attack) "Hey, your brother said I'd find you here. Wanna to take a walk?" I don't even have to pretend to be blind. Whenever someone approaches me, I can feel them, hear their breathing, and somehow, I always know they're coming toward me. I was born this way and it'll take a while before I get used to using my eyes. Which is why I don't even flinch when Maryna speaks. It's strange how my heart doesn't skip a beat at the sound of her voice. Or her scent. She's my mate. I felt the bond snap in place when she arrived yesterday. But why don't I crave her presence the way I crave Sophia's? She consumes me. I spend every waking moment thinking about her and then proceed to dream about her. I want her near me all day. I want to fuck her again and again until she's obsessed with me. I can imagine how shocked she'll be when she finds out I can see. "Kaden, do want to take a walk with me?" Maryna asks again. She wants to get to know each other but I do
Things changed quickly after that. Suddenly, I was the bad guy. No one wanted to listen. They accused me of being a monster and claimed I was the reason everyone had died. It didn't matter that I'd lost my family or that I had no idea what had happened. And because I didn't have any answers for them, they left. No one stopped to think that I was just as surprised as they were. After Dad died, I blacked out. To this day, I don't remember what happened. I'm ashamed and I've been feeling guilty since then. It's not something I want everyone to know much less Sophia. What if she reacts the same way the members did and leaves too? I don't want her to change the way she sees me. I'd rather she thinks I don't trust her than think of me as a monster. A week has gone by since she started giving me the cold shoulder. She's polite and answers when I talk to her but she won't let me touch her. She also moved back to her room. I wish she would trust me and drop it but she's stubborn. I have no id
"Gentlemen, why are you lurking around my territory?" Kaden asks the Alphas. I've counted ten of them and they came in more than twenty cars. Each with at least four enforcers. That is around fifty people who showed up unannounced. They're all outside the entrance because Kaden refused to let them in. But the moment they force their way in, it's war. Is that what they want? To declare war against Kaden? "We're looking to buy some land around here. Rumor has it that most of it is empty" a short man with thick eyebrows and greasy hair says. "All of you?" The man smirks, sticking his hands in his pockets "Why not? We're competitive. I believe more Alphas are on their way" (That is a warning. He's trying to tell me that if they fail, more people will keep coming at me until I'm dead) The words float around in my mind. It takes me a moment to realize that Kaden is communicating with me the same way he does with Leander. But how should I respond? "Let us not w
I have very limited patience, especially towards these children residing in adults' bodies. It's not enough that they interrupted my time with Sophia. Do they think they can do whatever they want in my house? Didn't no one tell them numbers mean nothing? I know they're trying to aggravate me so I can lose my patience and they'll have an excuse to kill me. I admit, I'm close to losing my temper but they will never lay a finger on me. "Do I have your attention? Good. Now listen carefully because I won't say this twice. Whatever you're planning on doing won't happen. Not in this life. I advise you to leave before I'm out of patience" "We are not afraid of you, boy..." "And that is your second mistake. The first was to think you could show up here and intimidate me" I take a step forward, afraid that if I take another, I might strangle them "I've lived here all my life and I would like to continue doing so until I take my last breath. You don't bother me and I will return the courtes
I stare up at the bird that just shit on my shoulder. It doesn't look the least bit sorry "You also think I'm a joke. Don't you?" It flies away and I wish I had wings too so I don't have to face Kaden. Why did I think inviting those assholes inside was a good idea? It only made things worse and gave him more reasons not to trust me. I've never felt so foolish in my entire life. I fell asleep for a few minutes and woke up to find him gone. So I snuck out of the house. I've been walking aimlessly for the last half an hour. I'm not insecure and I've never felt like I wasn't enough for a man. But of late, I keep thinking that maybe I'm not the one for Kaden. It feels like he could find someone so much better but by picking me, he downgraded. When we were young, I could dream about our future and how happy we would be. Right now, I'm living in fear. Waiting for him to decide I'm not enough and go looking for someone who will suit him. Maybe someone like him? When he told me about the othe
"Uh, who are these guys?" We all look at her. "I'm Zeph and this is Reign. Have you already forgotten? We saved you from that alpha hole who was trying to kill you" LC, Sophia's mother walks by saying "She's still hungover. Ignore her" "And whose fault is it that I'm hungover?" She drops on my lap and lays her head on my shoulder "If you're not busy, can you hide all the alcohol? I can't take any more partying" I tuck her hair behind her ear "We can stay at the cabin today if you want" "What cabin?" I examine her. She looks fine and there haven't been any accidents of late or anything that explain her behavior. I've noticed how forgetful she's gotten. Zephyr and Reign have been here for more than a month. No matter how hungover she is, she shouldn't forget them. "Oh you mean the one in the woods? Yes. Let's do that" She lifts her face, her mouth practically chewing on my ear, and whispers "Or you could take LC back. I'm done missing her" I agree with her. It's time he
