The dimly lit room was filled with an air of despair as Steven carefully tended to the wounds that marred Faith's delicate skin. They were in a room beside Faith's room on Faith's request. The crimson stains on the bandages bore witness to the violence she had endured. Each gentle touch of the sterile gauze was a reminder of the pain she had suffered, and Steven didn't like it at all. Faith tried to hold in her cries as much as possible.As Steven gingerly wrapped the bandage around her battered arm, his hands trembled with a mixture of sadness and frustration. The sight of Faith's injuries, inflicted by those with ill intentions, unleashed a torrent of emotions within him. His hatred for Selena increased some more. The weight of guilt settled heavily upon his shoulders, for he had been unable to shield her from the clutches of Selena. He was going to deal with her later. "I'm so sorry, Faith," Steven whispered, his voice quivering with remorse. "I should have protected you like I p
Steven's world had been completely upended by the revelation of Faith's secret daughter. The news hit him like a devastating tidal wave, shattering the walls of routine and predictability that had surrounded him. The mere idea that Faith, someone he thought he knew so well, had a child was beyond his wildest imagination, and the realization struck him with the force of a lightning bolt. It sent a surge of emotions coursing through his veins, a tumultuous mixture of disbelief, astonishment, and a profound sense of betrayal. A sudden realization washed over Steven, and he couldn't help but wonder if this revelation explained his brother's peculiar behavior towards Faith. Could it be that his brother's distant attitude stemmed from the fact that the little girl wasn't his daughter after all?The comprehension of this possibility brought forth a mix of emotions within Steven. On one hand, there was a sense of understanding, as the puzzle pieces seemed to fall into place. It provided a po
Kendrick sat alone in his office room, the evening shadows casting a somber hue over the space. The walls were adorned with faded family photographs, capturing moments of joy and togetherness that now felt distant. Dust particles floated in the air, catching the faint light that seeped through the half-closed curtains.He went to a neighboring pack for a meeting. He had returned earlier than intended. He was feeling uncomfortable and restless so he wrapped up the meeting soon.His heart felt heavy, burdened by a pain he couldn't quite explain. It was as if invisible tendrils of anguish wrapped around his chest, constricting and squeezing with an intensity that left him breathless. The weight of the world seemed to rest on his shoulders, a culmination of his own struggles. "What's happening?" He asked himself, almost breathless. "Our mate…" His Lycan howled in his mind as well, making him frown. "What happened to her..?" He asked his Lycan while groaning in the unbearable pain which
Kendrick's heart pounded in his chest, a symphony of emotions surging through his veins as he sprinted down the dimly lit hallway. Worry for Faith's safety clenched at his core, threatening to suffocate him. Anger burned within him like a raging inferno, fueled by the images of Faith's delicate face contorted in pain, haunting his every thought. Just because he doesn't show now, doesn't mean his love for her faded away. It's just the betrayal is stronger than that love he has at that moment. Each step he took, his blood boiled some more. His nannah told him through a mind link about what happened today in the living room. About how Selena set Faith up and abused her. He can't believe Selena pushed Faith on a pile of broken glasses. He was angry would be an understatement. He has started regretting his decision of calling Selena here. He should have thought properly before taking this decision instead of deciding in anger. He was badly regretting it. She was seriously becoming a hea
"Kendrick." Faith breathed, her voice a fragile melody. "Please, help me…I can't take this pain." She almost begged as uncontrollable tears rolled down her eyes which she closed again. Kendrick understood that either she was under medication or she was in a daze because of high fever or pain. Because she was losing consciousness and regaining it. Tears welled up in Kendrick's eyes without his control or permission, his heart breaking anew at the sight of the woman he still held dear, battered and broken. He approached her with aching tenderness, his hand reaching out to gently clasp hers. In that touch, he offered solace, a silent promise to be her unwavering support."I'm here, Faith," Kendrick murmured softly, his voice brimming with care and sadness. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what." And in that moment, he resolved to protect her. They both knew they would be out of this beautiful dream soon but till that time comes, they both want to hold onto this moment. The momen
(Mature content ahead) Kendrick brought her to his personal mansion which is close to the palace. His closeness was messing with her mate's bond and she was getting needy of his touch as she clung to him. He couldn't hold himself anymore as well. They both blocked all the thought of consequences at that moment. They blocked all the thought of what's going to happen next and let themselves go in the flame of mate bond and their own desire. He brought her to the bedroom and dropped her on her feet. She looked at him with drunk eyes. The tough palm of Kendrick wrapped around Faith's arm harshly, pulling her back against his hard chest as he possessively secured her in his arms when she tried to move away in sudden shyness."Ke…Kendrick.." She whispered, struggling against his hard torso, guilty pleasure consuming her. His simple touches were enough to make her weak on her knees. "Wh…what's happening to me…?" She questioned, unable to handle the raising desire anymore."Your body is cr
Kendrick slowly freed her from the shirt which was hanging lazily in her arms. The shirt fell lazily around her waist as she was sitting on the bed. Her breath hitched as she sat there with her bare front right in front of him, just with a bra.Placing his face just above her shoulder, his lips touching her ear, making her lean back at him. He held her hand and brought it up. He locked her fingers with each other at the back of his head, as a result, her bust pushed up into the air. Her head was on his shoulder."Keep them there." He ordered taking his hands back from her, freezing her movements with his cold stares. "Relax and take a deep breath." He ordered once again and she obeyed him once again. He had again overpowered her mind and now it was working according to his will. She didn't have any control over it. Just like she didn't have years ago about which she doesn't remember.She took a deep breath and her chest heaved up which made him curse under his breath. His lips were ve
"You have no idea what I have planned for you." He said while pulling out her lip and slamming his lips over her.His lips moved demandingly slow against her frozen and immobile one. He licked her lower lip twice to get any response and groaned when she didn't join him."Kiss me back with all the passion you have, love." He commanded her before placing his lips back on her.He waited a long time for this day and now he's not going to stop until he ravishes her completely.Her heart skips a beat whenever he calls her that. Her lips started moving against his, on their own.His chest reverberated with a moan as her lips moved in sync with his. He tugged on her lower lip, and she gave his tongue a way to slip into her mouth. Plunging in, his tongue swirled and pulsated in her mouth, overpowering her senses and making her eyes shut on their own to feel the touch of his warm tongue against her.She was kissing him back the way she knew and every stroke of his tongue and movement of his lip
