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
The door swung open and revealed a very breathless Mason.His restless eyes moved back and forth between me and Xander and they widened when landed at our mating marks.“Oh, goddess,” he growled, before leaving us startled in our room.We both followed him out, afraid of the new problems that may arise.“I was so worried about both of you.” he groaned and slumped back on the sofa.It was a little surprising for me at first, watching Xander’s beta acting like an old friend. But things in the Silver Moon Pack were different from the Blood Moon Pack. Here packmates were free to choose their identity and were not bound to one.“What were you so worried about?” Xander asked, unaware of my inner prologue.“Dude,” Mason started, but Xander raised a brow at him.“Yeah, yeah. Alpha. I heard what happened between the Elders and you. And also about the ultimatum they issued against you and The Luna. I was trying to reach you but all in vain. I searched for you everywhere. But you were here all a
“h*ll, Alpha. I hope I am not disturbing you.” she said and locked eyes with me. Ignoring Xander’s gaze, it was clear she was up to something.“It depends, what do you want?” Xander asked her, keeping up with his dinner, urging me to do the same, but it was hard when so many eyes were focused on me, waiting for my next move.They all were waiting watching us like hawks.“Nothing, that you can’t agree to. I want to discuss something with Miss. Hawthorne.” she said, still her eyes were fixed on me. “Privately,” she added.I heard a tick in Xander’s Jaw and then his bark, “And what do you want to discuss? And if it is important then I want to know about it too. I want to hear what you want to discuss with my mate.” Xander was furious and if that woman was not air headed she would have noticed the change in Xander’s eyes.For the first time, ever since she walked up to us, she looked at Xander haughtily. She wasn’t afraid, that was evident from her posture and confident demeanor.“Are you
