The collapse of a log was enough to wake me up. I stirred, wincing as my muscles protested against the floor beneath me, a heavy body weighing me down. My fingers gripped the heavy blankets covering me. Confused, at first, I thought I was dreaming. Why would anyone be cuddling me? This couldn't be real; I couldn't be lying in a bra and panties on the floor with Aiden beside me, who was naked under covers. What even happened last night?
To say my whole body was exhausted after suffering through the blizzard didn't even describe what I was truly feeling, not to mention that my throat parched as sandpaper and lips dry. Looking around, I realised that there was a small bottle of water placed by my side.
Without thinking much into it, I desperately reached for it, a sigh escaping my throa
I wanted to thank Aiden for taking care of me, but the Alpha left before I had the chance to corner him. Cooking for him was out of the question after the last time. My cheeks burned as I thought back to his allergic reaction. He was pissed, and rightfully so after all the trouble, he had to endure because of me.A sigh escaped my lips. I spent the rest of the morning completing tasks usually avoid as long as possible, like cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, picking out the clothes strewn across the hallways and airing the upper floors to dry out any dampness that still clung to them from yesterday's blizzard.The cabin was just too big for one person, I thought, exhaling loudly as I made sure all the windows were opened, and there's no water leakin
I dashed straight across the border, trying not to think about the fact that if Fauna was screaming, then she must be attacked by another wolf. The pup was merely seven-year-old and I would be crushed if something happened to her. I was also aware that wolves this close to the border rarely travelled in anything other than a full-sized patrol. What type of Luna thinks about those things and not about protecting a pup?"Help me!" The small voice yelped again as I tore straight through the border and stood on the other side."Fauna!"There were three of them—the regular size for a casual patrol. One among them was a brown wolf, Alpha, and the rest were more minor tawny wolves. Those three stood in a hostile semi-circle around the tiny pup, teeth
I blinked at his words, unaffected and calm, barely letting them sink in. Why would he think that I have a gift? Growing up, my wolf was shamed, bullied and got a verbal lashing from our own Pack Alpha. They called me names. How do I know that he's not saying these things to make me feel better? Then again, Caden had no motive in lying to me or any obligation to make me feel at ease."Oh," I stammered, swiping my tongue across my bottom lip. "I don't know what to say....""You have done this before?""Multiple times. When my injuries healed sooner than others, they called me a freak of nature." My stomach plummeted as I thought back to those names, cringing as their words rang in my ears. Because of that, I didn't do the trick when oth
/Aiden's POV/"Tell us more!"I heard the childish whines of the pups the moment I entered the training ground. My eyes immediately went towards Tobias huddled in the corner, rolled onto his back as the litter piled on top of him, their tails going a hundred miles an hour as they demanded to know more. What were pups doing inside the grounds? I thought to myself, eyes searching for Liam when I remembered he had taken a day off.I found it amusing that when they were pups, all they wanted to do was learn, but by the time they got to the age where they could start training, they'd want to do anything but that. Shaking my head, I walked towards the Alphas sitting on the bench, nodding my head as they greeted me. They followed my line of vision, gazes melting at the sight of pups. I never understood pups; th
The kiss came out of nowhere, knocking the breath from my lungs, my body arching into him. Aiden tasted bitter, like the colour of rage and anger, surging forward, fierce and needy, as if to settle the pesky craving that's been plaguing him. I couldn't help but feel his lips, wet and soft, encasing me whole, as if to possess me with a single kiss.Aiden grabbed me by the waist, gripped tightly and my hands, without permission, come to wrap tightly around his neck. My back was slammed against the nearest wall, my right thigh lifting and locking around his hip, our pelvis rubbing together. The heat of his groin made my abdomen clench, outline of that huge cock making my eyes roll back. His huge hand lingered on my thigh, gripping it, pretty sure leaving marks while his other hand came up to wrap around the hollow of my throat.
Slowly turning my head, I noticed Aiden standing by the door, almost leaning against it as he watched us. Did he hear Fauna's comment about him? I hoped not. Being on the other side and hearing just how much people don't like you is not very encouraging. I have been there several times, and each time, it hurts the same, more if it's a person you like.Fauna straightened, mouth pulled together as she turned her head away and focused on the open window of the room. I tried not to sigh at that behaviour. Pups easily pick up on things which were why she must be annoyed at Aiden. What if he blamed me for that too?Aiden cleared his throat, snapping me out of my thoughts. I tore my gaze from Fauna and met his stare. What did he want now? I thought to myself bitterly. He said enough already. Steeli
My lips parted on instinct, hands grabbing the sides of my dress as I patiently waited for Aiden to answer. Sweat perspired on my top lip, suddenly my body growing hot all over at the thought of the Alpha rejecting her idea. Fauna would be so disappointed, and from what I saw a while ago, they both got on pretty quickly. What was he waiting for?Silence stretched in the room as his eyes flickered between us, and I was already expecting the rejection to arrive, but it never came. Instead, the Alpha cleared his throat, focusing solely on Fauna, to which I was grateful."That can be easily arranged. What movies do you like?"The pup made a sound of excitement, barely managing to get a word out in the mid
Aiden cleared his throat beside me, his hands folded behind his back. I turned around, eyes cast downwards at his shiny black shoes. My breathing was erratic, the sound of blood rushing echoing in my ears, lips parted. Why was I so nervous?"Rose!" He exhaled loudly.At the sound of my name escaping his lips, my toes curled around the carpet, eyes fluttering shut. There was almost a few inches gap between us; I realised as his voice echoed in my ears. What could he possibly want now?"Uhh...I noticed that you don't have a lot of warm clothes. The weather here gets worse in upcoming months, so you need to go shopping."
