WINTER POVI stayed in the dark corner for another minute before I decided to go back to the hall.I was glad no one had noticed when Slade dragged me there, and no one noticed we came out together. So I thought."So, you did it?"I flinched and swirled as Linda interrupted my thought."Fúck you, Linds!" I glared at her."That will be hot if it ever happens." Linda grinned. "But it'll be hotter if you do it with Slade. Don't you think so?"Shít!Did she see us?I glanced around frantically to see if anyone was staring at me weirdly, but I realized they were engrossed in what they were doing; dancing and discussing."Relax, Winter." Linda giggled. "To the answer in your head, I saw you. I saw when he pulled you in."I flushed and attempted to move away because I knew what would happen next. Linda would want to know what we did, and she'd prod me until I told her."I see you are flushed. So, I am right that something happened? Maybe not the séx part, but something happened."I glared. "
WINTER POVThe coronation ended with me still confused. Yet, I saw no one to help me with my confounding thought."Luna Winter." Lisa gushed, and I rolled my eyes.I didn't get crowned alongside Slade; my ceremony got moved to the next week due to the seer collapsing.But then, everyone already knew it was possible. I'd be Slade's Queen, and then the mating ceremony comes after it.I flushed, shaking my head at what would happen during the night of the mating ceremony.I knew it was the usual but different at the same time.I tried not to think about my body and Slade's naked and tangled underneath the duvet.I conjured a weird image of me bent awkwardly with my àss in the air while Slade lodged himself behind me... "Please, no," I mumbled, clearing my thoughts again. It would be difficult not to think about such, and Slade made it even worse by kissing me.The silent promises in the kiss made me tingle over, but I knew it was forbidden.He still belonged to another.I gathered the s
SLADE POVI was unnerved by the prophecy of the seer. And now, I met Britney being her bratty self.I heard everything that was said. Others might not have, but my hearings were sharper than most Werewolves because I was partly a lycan and partly a werewolf.I never believed Britney would show her face after telling her not to.I hadn't purposely dismissed her. I, in fact, wanted her to be part of the coronation ceremony, but she had cursed at me and threatened to disrupt everything.She had threatened to lie to everyone in the pack about me.And the lie was I had forced her to do things she didn't want to. She mentioned me promising her father by taking a blood oath to never replace her with another.A blood oath was known to bind almost anything with the help of a seer.I never took a blood oath with her.I wouldn't say I didn't have the strength to tell her off; I hated that she made me seem cruel.She made it look like I punished her whenever I didn't let her have her way.I was g
SLADE POV Ignoring the glare Winter shot my way, I stood to my feet."Where are you going?!" Britney yelled. "Don't you dare leave me in this room with her!"I walked back toward her and gripped her hand, helping her out of bed.Britney breathed out as soon as her legs touched the ground.Still ignoring Winter, ad she kept staring at me, I halted Britney as she was about to move out of the room."I'm sorry, Britney," I mumbled, pulling her into a hug."You've been apologising since. Is there Something I should know? You've never apologized for this long before." Britney hugged me tighter.I felt her tremble.It was as if she knew what would happen, just like how Winter knew.I shook away the thoughts of not going through away from my head.I was having second thoughts again. Just like the first time she had come to me, it was that instant I should have rejected her.I groaned and murmured, "I'm rejecting you.""W-why?" Britney stuttered. She abruptly disengaged from the embrace and s
WINTER POV How long would I blame my mother?I blamed her until I got tired of blaming her. She had messed me up, but she didn't care. She wanted me to do away with Slade like always.No one cared about my feelings. I had even tried to do away with how I felt and put others first, but it had been taken for granted.Slade had rejected Britney not only in front of the unconscious patient in the infirmary and me but also in front of the whole pack.I heard them the minute they stepped into the meeting hall. I wanted to make Slade stop, but it seemed he was in on everything. He had planned to reject her in front of everyone.I thought they'd part ways amicably. I was waiting for that, but I never imagined this would happen.Britney had threatened me. I wonder if I should be afraid or not. I had received a lot of threats from Summer, but this seemed different.I had seen the determined look in Britney's eyes as if she'd go on with it. She had made me look like a mate stealer, which was th
WINTER POV"Did you hear the rumours going around between the Alpha King and Beta's wife?!"I heard someone say as I rounded the corner.I saw a blonde with a red-haired standing by the entrance to the mansion.They broke apart as soon as they saw me and gasped."My lady!" The red-haired whispered. She and the blonde bowed.I nodded my head to acknowledge their greeting before walking in.I knew it would come to this. Since the Alpha fight, the rumours had never died down. And it always revolved around me, Slade, Damien, Daniel, and Britney.Ever since Damien and Daniel disappeared, the rumours about them had died even though there was some silent search for them.I doubted anything had happened to them. I presumed they left the pack, just like Slade had left.Daniel and Damien were automatically a rogue now. It was a rule never to leave a pack without the consent of the ruling Alpha, but they had left.No one knew.They would only escape being rogues when they find a pack to join as
SLADE POVFuck!I should have taken her.Why the fuck did I hesitate?!Perhaps, I wanted her to come to me herself. I saw she wanted the same thing. I saw the desire in her eyes. She might deny it with her mouth, but her eyes were saying something else.Winter desires me.I glanced down at my pant and groaned at the bulge in it.Britney had never made me feel this way. She had never made me go out of my mind just seeing her naked.Goodness!Winter was perfect; her mouthwatering lithe soft curves, her pert breasts, which I believed would fill my hands when I cupped them, shit, her shapely round backside.Her nipples had pointed instantly as soon as my eyes stayed on them. I recalled seeing her legs tremble and how she had desperately tried to cover herself."I need a fucking cold bath." I groaned, stripping down to nothing.It wasn't my first time having such nasty thoughts about her, even when I hadn't seen her body.I guess I know the reason Damien was unwilling to let her go. Perhap
WINTER POVI flushed again as his eyes narrowed on mine. I wouldn't say I liked the way he was staring at me.I thought back at how he had looked at me lustfully, and now he was in nothing but a towel.Why do I keep meeting him in this manner? All that I had rehearsed and wished to say to him had evaporated from my mind. I could only think about his solid naked torso.I swallowed hard and murmured, "Can you put something on?""Does my body bothers you?" He asked, and I nodded.Without any more questions, Slade walked to the wardrobe, flung it open, and snatched a flannel.I was able to breathe again as I saw him put it on. For the first time, I glanced around his room.I hadn't noticed how dark and empty it was because I was hurrying to get what I wanted to say off my chest. I wanted to be fast with it and return to my room.It was my first time being here, and maybe it would be my last time, depending on what his answer to my question would be.I twisted my fingers as he walked towar
