ShannonThis was my first time riding a helicopter. The noise was going to tear my head open. I couldn't hear anything, even if Domenica and Nora were sitting not far from me, I couldn't talk to them.I kept frowning. Vernon was sitting beside me, he noticed my discomfort, and he said something, but it was too loud for me to hear. He leaned in close to my ear, so close he was practically pressed up against me."Is this the first time you take a ride in a helicopter?"I didn't think he could hear my answer in such a loud environment, nor did I want to lean in close to him, so I nodded and made sure he saw that.Oddly, he smiled and then he held my hand in his, he squeezed my hand slightly which brought me some comfort.'He's so much better than Terry.' Kaela suddenly said to me.It was weird to hear the voice in your head when your surrounding was so loud.'Judging from what? Terry was good to me at first, who knew what he would act like after he meets his fated mate, maybe he would be
Terry"Why did you drive off without her?! She's my Luna for god's sake!" I yelled at Javier, he flinched at my sudden outburst.We reached the outskirt of my pack, I built several safe houses here a few years ago just in case. They were located in a woody area, it was hard to reach, and not a lot of people knew about this place. Didn't think that I need to use this so soon."It was all her fault," Javier pointed at Kaia, "Shannon let her get in the car first, she would have been here if she got in first." He said helplessly as if he did nothing wrong."She has nothing to do with this! Don't drag her into this! And why did you decide to steal the Moonhunter's supplier? You know he was not to be messed with!""I thought he wouldn't notice this...""What do you mean you thought he wouldn't notice this? He is the Moonhunter! And you know he's revengeful, now this is his retaliation."I looked at his face, it was like he was so untainted by any wisdom or knowledge at all, I didn't know ho
ShannonI saw his Beta come in holding two envelopes came in, Vernon let go of me immediately upon hearing Terry's name. He turned to face his Beta, I couldn't see his expression, but I could hear him sneering.When his Beta walked closer, I could see that one of the envelopes had my name on it. But Vernon quickly blocked my line of sight, he turned around to face me again."I'll go handle this. You can stay here or feel free to use any of the rooms I just showed you. If you need anything, just ask the maid. Okay?"I nodded but I kept thinking about the letter. My gaze never left the letter. He took them from his Beta, and he was walking out of the door."Vernon..." I couldn't help but call out to him once I saw he reached the door. I wanted to see the letter."What?"He looked back but didn't turn around, I could see the coldness in his eyes. I suddenly lost the courage to ask him for the letter. So I shook my head."Nothing."He stopped for a minute and left without looking back. I
ShannonDomenica and Nora were at a loss for words, they didn't expect Vernon to ask them for permission. And they didn't know if they should say yes or not. So they turned to look at me instead."It's alright, you go first," I told them. So they nodded and head back inside the Pack House.I wondered what he wanted to do though.He kept his hands on my shoulders, it was awkward like he was pushing me to walk, so I tried to shake him off, he laughed lightly and then moved his hand down to my lower back.He was leading me to the front of the Pack House."I might need to invite your friend for a few questions regarding their Packs."He finally spoke his mind and I knew he meant he needed to interrogate them, but that was the first time I heard someone speak so lightly and politely about an interrogation."Please go easy on them. If you need to know anything you could ask me as well. But I won't betray my pack members." I said as I saw something flick in his eyes."I appreciate your hones
Vernon"Vernon..." This is the first time I heard her call my name, too bad it was in a situation like this. I knew she wanted to ask about the letter, but I couldn't possibly just hand the letter to her like this."What?" I glanced back at her."Nothing."Her tone was almost sad, did his letters have such an effect on her? Anyway, I had to go.I went to my study to read the letters. My fist balled up as I read the letter, he was the leader of the region, he couldn't control his underlings and he wouldn't even take responsibility for his action.When I opened the second letter which was addressed to Shannon, I was even more furious, he called her his most precious possession, like she was an object to him.How did he have the nerve to call her his possession and then beg for her forgiveness and return? Adonis told me briefly about what happened between Shannon and him, but now I wondered what was his deal."Get me someone from the Crescent Manes Pack. I need someone that knew what hap
VernonI broke the kiss when I felt she was getting hard to breathe."Yes, you are not an object, but I really want you to stay.""Do you mean that if I want to leave, I could actually leave?"I didn't answer this question, I was afraid that if I said yes, she would actually leave. I didn't want to show her that I was desperate for her to stay.She smiled when she noticed my silence, I looked down and her to see her eyes sparkle."I won't go, I don't want to be a rogue, and I don't want to go back to him. His letter made me cry, not because I was moved by him, I was mourning our past. I couldn't forgive his betrayal."So that was why she cried, I thought she was still in love with him. She was so clear-headed, confident, and beautiful. I could feel myself like her even more.She leaned in closer, it was like she was about to kiss me. I bent down as well, trying to adjust my height to her level so she could kiss me. I closed my eyes expecting to feel her warmth on my lips again, instea
ShannonI leaned in closer to make it seem like I was about to kiss him, when I saw him close his eyes, I turned my head to his ear."Now if you'd excuse me."I felt his burning gaze on my back as I walked away from him, especially on my ass. I was tempted to look back, but I held myself back.It seemed that he really cared about the fact I cried after reading Terry's letter.Terry said he wanted me back because I was his most precious possession, but Vernon thought that I could make my own decision because I wasn't an object.My husband for five years only wanted me back because I was his trophy wife, a strange Alpha I met not long ago who treated me with the respect I deserved. I couldn't help but think about how ironic this was.And that I should know better. I should have known from his attitude in the past. He hated whenever I wore anything pretty, he didn't want me to become a warrior, not because he cared about me. Because deep down, he viewed me as his possession.Sure, you wo
ShannonI woke up to hear the soft chirping of the birds, I slowly sat up to find myself alone in bed. Vernon wasn't here. I looked out of the window to see the sun had risen up, it must be well past 9 o'clock.Blood was rushed to my head after I remembered what happen last night. I was intimated with another man, although we didn't have sex fully, but still..."Are you getting all shy now" Kaela chimed in."Shut up.""I wasn't wrong, right? You should definitely try more man.""I don't need to, and shut up! I don't need to have this so early in the morning."Sensing my frustration, Kaela shut up. But the image of Terry and Kaia making out came to my mind again, any regret I had instantly disappeared. There was no going back now since Terry chose his fated mate over me.Where was Vernon though?I got freshened up in the bathroom and changed into something a little more formal. He did have great taste in fashion.I walked out of his room to find a maid waiting by the door."Where's you
