All the tears were dried up on my face and I sniffled, inside the closed doors of my cabin.My phone rang, dragging me away from my thoughts and it was like that I had summoned him from my thoughts.It was Daniel, my father. The man who was supposed to be my backbone but instead he tried to break mine so that I could rely on him.Willingly on unwillingly."h*ll?" I said, my voice trembling with emotion."Gracie," Daniel's voice crackled on the other end of the line. "I need to talk to you. I've made a terrible mistake."Gracie, my heart stopped for a moment and everything came to stand still. I could hear my heartbeat.My mind raced as I tried to process his words. A terrible mistake? This was not the Daniel I knew, the man who had always been so confident in his actions, even when they were questionable. I held my breath, waiting for him to continue."I... I gave Emma your mother’s bracelet," he confessed, his voice filled with remorse. "I shouldn't have done that. It was wrong, and
This sudden intrusion startled me, I looked up at the intruder, only to be shocked again.Xander was standing in the doorway, his presence sent a ripple of surprise through me, for I hadn't expected him to return. He looked baffled and hesitant."Xander," I said, taken aback by his sudden change in demeanor. "What brings you back? Is everything alright?"His hand rubbed the back of his neck, a nervous tic I hadn't seen before. "I... I wanted to talk to you about this morning," he stammered.I gestured towards the empty chair across from my desk. "Please, have a seat. We can talk while sitting, you look tired."Once he was settled, I asked “So what about the morning?”“I shouldn’t have done that.” he said, looking at me with somber eyes.“And what was that, I am not able to recall it, please help me to recall it,” I baited him.Because I was well aware of what he was talking about. He was talking about when he left me like he hadn’t heard me and ignored my suggestion.“Why can't things
My eyes shone with yellow light, reflecting Lana was as agitated as me. After all, we both were the same.This sudden surge of hatred overwhelmed me and my mind raced with dark and unsettling thoughts. The speculation that someone was preying on Daniel triggered a chilling suspicion deep within me, and before I could stop myself, I blurted out, "What if Lizzie had something to do with my mother's death, Xander?"The words hung heavily in the air, the accusation like a poison spreading through my veins. The memory of my childhood, the time when my mother left Daniel to stay in another house, because of some fight, flooded my mind. Daniel's regular visits and the subsequent arrival of Lizzie had always cast a shadow of doubt over that period of my life.Now I know what that fight was about. When Daniel begged my mother to come back. Another thing struck me like lightning. It was only after Lizzie’s arrival my mother lost her life because she became so weak, she couldn’t handle herself.
After what felt like forever, we parted and Xander decided that he would wait for me to finish my work and then we both would go back home together.At first, I rejected his offer but he told me that he knew that I needed him and what kind of a mate he would be if he left his mate all by herself while she was grieving and grappling with the reality of the situation.Even though it was just a small gesture, it meant a lot to me.I agreed to him and then after lunch, I decided I was good to go.We both headed back to our home, hand in hand leaving behind the bitterness of the incident. But it would be a blessing if my day went without any problem because what was waiting for us in the pack house was no less than an ordeal.The elders awaited us in the hallway. Their eyes gleamed silver like the moon itself, held an eerie intensity that could pierce the soul. They wore expressions that ranged from solemn to skeptical, and there was an air of gravity about them that hinted at the gravity
We left the skeptical elders in the pack hall and now I was seeing another version of Xander in our room.Xander paced the room, his brows furrowed in deep contemplation. His wolf remained restless, ruffling mine in return.We had two options: either we tell everyone that we lied about the mating mark or take help from Daisy.“Xander, don’t fret. We will find a way out.” I re*ssured him, but to no avail.“No, I can’t calm down. My pack members doubted me. This can’t happen.” he was furious.“But they are not wrong. We aren’t mated so whatever they said remains valid.” I answered him and stood in front of him.His eyes were filled with emotions, mostly rage but I could feel he was a little scared too.I approached him, placing a hand on his arm to halt his restless pacing. "Xander, we need to think this through carefully. I know you are angry but try to understand.”“What?” he growled.“I know you are a little scared. You care about their perception. You care about what your pack think
The next afternoon, me and Xander were ready to leave the pack grounds and headed to Daisy’s place.The whole ride we both were silent, thinking about what Daisy had in her mind and what her magic would do to us.We were afraid. I was not sure about him but I was.The sun hung low when we reached Daisy’s house. Her house was situated on the outskirts of the town, it was nothing too fancy. A modest white house with a neatly trimmed lawn. It was a quaint, picturesque residence, an oasis of normalcy in a world filled with supernatural secrets.As we approached the front door, I could feel Xander’s uneasiness in his taut shoulders and when his breaths heaved more heavily. I wanted to comfort him, but I was too scared to do that.But Daisy was something else. She must have heard our car as she flung open the door so fast that I was afraid that it would come undone.In the next moment, she was in my arms, climbing up like a monkey and giggling.A low growl left Xander’s mouth but Daisy care
Xander's eyes widened, disbelief etched across his face. The concept of not being able to find his true mate, his destined companion, was a cruel twist of fate. The bond between mates was sacred among our kind, and this curse threatened to sever it.But the knowledge that he won’t be able to scent her gave me relief. I didn’t want to be a selfish person, but I didn’t want to lose him.I couldn’t lose him.This feeling was something different. Something wild that I had never heard before.One day at a time, Lana whispered to calm my mind.And I took a deep breath.The room came back to normalcy, and Daisy came back to her form, her eyes still held the signs of her powers. Her breaths were ragged, and she was still reeling from the effect of her power.“Can it be broken?” I asked in a small voice.“Huh?” Daisy asked absentmindedly.“The curse. Can it be broken?” I asked again, afraid of the words that might leave Daisy’s mouth.“Every curse can be broken, Grace. Some require little to n
We both were n*ked on the bed, he could see my hard n*pples begging for attention, but Xander was busy kissing me.He brushed his fingers over my stomach and then lowered. I moan when his finger touches my pussy lips and he dipped one finger inside it.“I just love how your pussy clenches when I put my finger inside it.” Xander whispers in my ear.I was already soaking wet for him and he didn’t have to do anything to arouse me. His single touch is enough to make my whole body sing.We broke apart and he started sucking my n*pples making me arch my body toward him.“Oh,” I moaned, and I wiggled against his hand, I was loving the friction.“Spread your legs for me, my little mate,” he growled and I parted my legs for him.He put the head of his cock into the opening of my pussy and grabbed my hips roughly, as he thrusted inside me.With one move his cock was inside me, making me moan in pleasure.“Every time my cocks gets inside this pussy, it feels like the first time. You might as wel
