Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)
“I was just thinking about the pack and my mate.” I said, sighing heavily because I was honestly frustrated.
“What about her?” She asked as she sat up and scooted closer to me on the bed.
She placed her hand on my lap and slowly began to drag it higher up onto my thighs so that the tips of her fingers were slightly grazing my crotch.
“I am just really conflicted with her. I want to have her as my mate, but I do not think I am ready to settle down with just one girl. On one hand she can be a really good asset to the pack, but on the other hand, if I am not faithful to her, she might leave me.” I bowed my head in defeat and rubbed my face in frustration.
“I understand how you feel. When I met my mate, I instantly rejected him because he turned out
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)It has been a week since I moved in with Alessandro. I do not have any complaints as his pack was more than welcoming. I could tell they were not used to being heard and being given the opportunity to share their concerns about their wants and needs because when I showed up and Alessandro began to make adjustments where I was being treated with respect and as if I had a say about what happens in the pack, people started coming forward with what they wanted. At first, I felt as though the members of his pack were only being nice to me because they wanted things that they wanted to be done in the pack that would have been more than rewarding to them, however, there came a moment in time where I had to explain to them, while keeping some form of confidentiality, of course, that they should not get their hopes up because while I may adhere to their concerns and listen, there is not much that I could do because I was not apart of the pack
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)Isla chuckled on the phone, and it went silent on her end for a bit.I took a deep breath and my eye wandered over to Stephanie who was currently sprawled out butt naked on my desk.“Well, I guess I will see you later. Dress pretty.” I joked and chuckled before we both exchanged goodbyes and I ended the call.“Way to go babe. Look at you, being the mate of the year.” Stephanie teased and got off the desk and wrapped her arms around my neck as she pecked me on my lips.“Hardy ha ha, now where should I take her? I want to be romantic, but I do not have one romantic bone in my body. I do not think I have ever taken a girl out on a date.” I scratched my head awkwardly and began picking up my clothes from the floor.Stephanie also began to put her clothes back on.“I mean, if she really loved you, she should not mind where you are taking her but should ra
Stephanie Wilde (P.O.V.)I watched as he walked out of the office, and I could not help but feel a pang of jealousy. My stomach was in knots, and I wanted to lock myself in a dark room and cry my eyes out. How could he not see that I would do anything for him? I was willing to put my feelings aside for him, just so he could have the best of both worlds. Every time we made love, I would enjoy all of him and be grateful for the moment and the time he chose to spend with me, but then when the bliss is over, I think to myself that after all of this, he will be going home to his mate.We have not met yet and honestly; I was anticipating the moment that we do. Ever since that night when she gruesomely murdered my best friend, I promised myself that I would seek vengeance for her. I was not certain if Alessandro remembered anything about that night, but I did not mention to him that she had seen my face. I mean she was pretty out of it after we gave her a sho
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)After the call with Alessandro ended, I pulled a blanket over my body and got comfortable on the couch in content. It was beyond adorable that he asked to take me out. I could no express how excited I felt. From the moment the call ended, I just sat on the couch and pondered on what outfit I could wear. Since I had only recently bought a new closet of clothes, the type of clothes I currently owned was fresh in my mind, so I was able to sit here and conjure an outfit in my head. I had the perfect outfit in mind. I was so excited to wear it.I had a bit of time before Alessandro would come home, so I decided to continue watching movies. When some time had passed, I felt myself slowly falling asleep. Before I could completely subdue to my sleepiness, I checked the time on my phone so I can decipher how much time I got to sleep, and then I set an alarm.When I got done with that, I switched the television off and allowed my
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)“Oops! I am sorry.” She bit her lip again and smiled sheepishly at me. This time I chose to ignore it and look away so that I did not end up doing anything she did not want me to at the moment.“We could leave at seven and see a movie at eight then have dinner after that. Or would you prefer to watch a movie first?” I scratched the back of my head nervously. I really did not know how these things went.“Hmm, well usually all of the good movies show late at night but restaurants do not necessarily stay open for dining so I think a movie first and then we can explore Los Angeles together and hunt for food. That sounds fun.” She exclaimed and I chuckled.“That is a great idea indeed. Well, I will leave you to choose a movie on the website while I relax for a bit.” I said and took a seat next to her.I watched closely as she unlocked her phone and I quickly glan
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)“I wanted to see you before you went off to your big date.” She said smiling brightly.“Well, we are leaving in the next three hours, so you are like really early.”Stephanie smirked and got closer to me before she wrapped her arms around my neck.“What do you say we do something fun to pass the time then?” I immediately pushed her away and looked upstairs again to ensure Isla was still in the shower.“What? No! are you crazy? My mate is right upstairs!”Before she could say more, I opened the front door.“Get out Stephanie,” I demanded.She pouted and did as she was told.I sighed in relief and went upstairs to my room. As I was opening my bedroom door, I could hear the water falling in the shower. I concentrated a little and sniffed the air.Ah, she is washing her hair. Just then an idea popped into my head.
Alveric Valentine (P.O.V.) Ever since I got back to the morgue, I have been working and preparing to perform the ritual on Dimitri so that he would no longer be cursed. I got to see firsthand how much it affected him and I felt pressured to work even faster because the intervals at which it kept occurring were becoming shorter every day. Even on days when he would not mention Adelina or the reincarnated Goddess, I guess his mind still wandered off to places it should not be and so this caused him to trigger the curse and he would be in excruciating pain for hours.At this point, due to the reoccurring incidents, he has become rather suicidal, and I was forced to strap him to one of the metal tables at the morgue. Unfortunately, I “accidentally” put him next to the recovering bodies, so he had no other choice but to think of the foul scents instead of thinking about Adelina and Isla. It was an evil plan but also a genius one.On that
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I got out of the shower after what felt like hours. I walked into my bedroom and pulled out the outfit I had planned in my head. As I laid it out on the bed, I prayed that it would look good on me as it looked in my head. It would be rather disappointing if I end up looking like a potato when I finally dressed myself. After I laid my outfit on the bed, I wrapped my head with a towel to help dry my hair faster, and I put on my underwear. I cannot make this up but I felt bougie being able to match my underwear. Just think about it…I was wearing a black pair of bra and panties. I felt like a responsible adult right now. It is amazing.Anyway, after I finished checking myself out in the mirror, I grabbed my bag of makeup and pulled out my phone to search for some makeup looks on Pinterest. My outfit consisted of a fitted grey long-sleeve turtleneck, and a high-waisted fitted red and black plaid skirt that stopped mid-thigh.
