Anila POV I have never before seen someone’s face change so red as they do in the cartoons, but that’s exactly what Sarah’s face did. And with the round shape of her head, she looked painfully like a tomato. She opened her mouth, readying an argument before Xaden held up his hand, cutting her off. “What are you going to say? That it isn’t true?” He shook his head, the calm features I was so used to seeing were nowhere in sight. “You approached so many men. Jaxon, Heath, Paul. Even Harley, and Myself.” My eyebrows raised at the list. “Wow, impressive,” I commented, but it only made Sarah start to tremble. “We are just classmates… friends. Nothing more!” She barked, but Xaden gave a boisterous laugh. “Only after you got rejected and turned down by every single one of us. ‘Just friends,’ she says. You know what is the most ridiculous? That you have this poor man believing the bullshit spewing out of your mouth.” Xaden’s tone turned angry as he gestured to Damien, who remaine
Anila POV The shopkeeper shook his head with a mirthless laugh. “I can’t believe it actually chose someone,” He said more to himself than to us. He slammed his hand on the table, causing me to jump. “What does that mean?” I found myself asking. “It means it’s all yours, young lady.” He begrudgingly hands the necklace over, and I am slow to grab it. No way something so exquisite was free. But from the deep frown on the old shopkeeper's face, I could tell he wasn’t very happy about it. “Thank you,” My voice was kind as I held the necklace. Its weight was surprising, considering how much metal is a part of it. It weighed almost nothing. Xaden looked at the necklace for a long moment, thoughts upon thoughts flashing behind his eyes before he gave a warm smile. “Congratulations, Anila. Let’s get back, so you can rest before tomorrow. You have orientation at 11 and then you’ll get your schedule. We can find time to meet tomorrow and begin your training.” I looked at t
Anila POVI lay on my new bed, feeling a bit overwhelmed over the day. It was hard to believe that I’d been away from home for a little over 24 hours. In a matter of hours, I found out that I was more special than I ever thought I could be.It was strange going to bed when the sun was rising. The sun was desperately trying to shine through my closed shades, and I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to sleep. I hadn’t slept since the plane though and my body was tired despite the time of day.Penny told me that I’d get use
Anila POVXaden walked with Penny and me to the dining hall. Penny was quiet since the elevator and I knew she probably had a ton of questions for me, but she wasn’t going to ask with Xaden present. He kept his hands entwined with mine and honestly, I was okay with that. I wanted him close; something inside of me needed to feel his presence.After that awkward elevator ride, I didn’t want him anywhere else. When Zach left the elevator, he went the opposite way and there was a part of me that wondered where he was going. Just before he disappeared, he paused, his eyes found mine. He held my eyes for only a second before
Anila POV“I can’t wait to start classes tomorrow,” Sally cooed. “These look so exciting.”I hadn’t even had a chance to look at my schedule. We made ourselves comfortable on a couple of benches near the campus water fountain as we went over our schedules.I took a deep breath and glanced at the paper.9 pm – 9:45 pm: History of Shifters
Anila POVI was startled, my legs turned to jelly as I stumbled backward.I have never had a chance to see his wolf so closely. It was the size of a horse, with long thick fur, and curious yellow eyes that watched me fumble to the ground.He drew closer, his paws massive as they stepped silently over the grass—growing ever closer. I swallowed a tight knot that had locked up my throat. The last time I saw his wolf form was when he nearly got into a fight with Zach and Harley in that open room yesterday. He was so angry, and everything happened
Anila POVXaden burst out laughing; like a full-body laugh and I couldn’t even look at him.He was completely naked like the day he was born, and he was standing only inches from me. My cheeks were on fire, and I averted my eyes to the water in front of me. My heart was pounding as Xaden sat before me, placing his hands over his manhood to cover himself. I knew he was only doing that for my benefit, and I appreciated it.“I wasn’t so sure about shifting back like this. But you were so persistent on talking,” he chuckled. &ldq
Anila POVI raised myself to his lips, kissing him gently as my arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him down to the bed with me. Our kiss started passionate, but turned hungry and filled with a desire that we have both been keeping locked away since our first encounter.His lips were so soft and fit perfectly against mine. I parted my lips for him to deepen the kissing, wanting and needing so much more of him. His hands moved down my sides as his tongue explored my mouth, and his hips settled between my legs. He pressed into me, his hard shaft pressing between my flaps, and exploring the entrance to my dripping core.
