“Ready?”
I nodded.
“Good, let's go.” Asher opened the passenger door for me and I got in. You'd think werewolves don't use cars, but I was surprised to see one this morning. When I asked Asher about it, he laughed “Of, course we do drive cars, it's just uncomfortable being stuck in a rounded iron for hours. It's much better when we shift and travel in our wolf form than cars,” was his reply.
This morning felt so weird, I haven't seen Knox or Rakel, I wonder if they're mad at me for wanting to leave them. I wouldn't let that change my decision even if they are, though, I will go home and pretend none of this ever happened. Like I never met them, I will pretend it's all part of a dream. It's better than choosing between the two of them.
Asher was about to shut the door after me when we sensed it. A movement whoosh by quickly startling both Asher and me, the next instant, we saw Knox standing before me. My heart flut
Delaney's POV The ride home was long, I don't know how long Asher drove, we stopped occasionally to rest and also for snacks, at some point, I slept off. I wonder why Asher won't book a flight if the journey will be this far, he immediately declined the topic the moment I brought it up. A tap on my show woke me up, “Hey, we are here.” My eyes fluttered open to see Asher hovering over me, when his words registered in my head, I sat up straight immediately glancing around noting that it's already so late in the evening. Seeing my crappy house, my eyes lit up in excitement, ‘Home! I'm finally home!’ but wait, how did Asher know about it? I never mentioned it to him. “I have my ways' sweetheart.” he answered my unsaid question, “do you want me to come in?” I paused, do I want to let him into my house? Definitely not, he'd see the pitiful kind of life I'm living “No need, I'll be fine.” I answered, getting out of the car. Asher hande
Instead of mulling over what the so-called 'Queen’ is all about or who sent the rose to me, I decided to go on with my usual daily activities by checking out my part-time jobs, I only hope my bosses haven't fired me yet. Cassie left earlier saying something about visiting her parents, I still feel bad for breaking her heart, I know she's trying to pretend to be strong, but I know her, she was still hurt when I said I didn't feel the same way about her. Before leaving for work, I poured milk into Mr. Tom's bowl, he stretches his big fat body and came out to feed. After feeding, he went back to sleep as usual. I rolled my eyes at him, it's no wonder he's so fat, the only thing he does is to eat, sleep and eat more. At this rate, I wonder if he's the one eating most of the food in my house.Twenty minutes later, I headed to a restaurant downtown where I work part-time as a waitress, thankfully, my boss didn't fire me, he was glad to see me actually and was sorry about what
Rakel scrutinized my face with a narrowed gaze, waiting for a reply. Again, I opened my mouth to reply when he suddenly picked me up, put me aside before barging into my house. I facepalmed, ‘Gosh, what should I do with his jealousy issues? Initially, I thought he came here to prove me wrong for not choosing between him and Knox, I should have known him coming here wouldn't end up well.’ I thought, going after him. Although, I don't have much in my house, the thought of him searching my things got me fuming in anger.Mr. Toms meowed looking for a place to hide, I'm sure it's his instinct telling him to hide from Rakel, he must have sensed the danger of having him around. I scooped him from the floor while patting his fur, “It's okay Toms, he won't hurt you.”I let Rakel finish his search for the"Mr. Tom” once he's done, he ambled out with a confused look on his face, “I can't smell any male in here.”Mr. Toms let out a s
Meanwhile, at this time in a dark room, five people were in a heated discussion. A red-haired guy stood at the side with his fist clenched in anger. He doesn't agree with them in any way, he's brainstorming to find a way to make them see things from his perspective.“We can't expose ourselves even if our Queen is out there, we have to wait for the right time!” Avaitia, a beautiful lady who looks like she's in her early twenties, spoke.“You are wrong. Our kind has been in hiding for centuries! No one knows about our kind because we've been waiting for our Queen. Now that she's here, we can't stay hidden anymore. The world must know of our kind!” Celine argued.Stephan, a white-haired guy who has also been quiet, snorted, “Oh? So if the world knows about our kind, you think they won't find a way to wipe us out from the surface of the earth? They did that centuries ago, who knows if they won't repeat history.”“They
Delaney's POVRyder raced with me on his back for hours, I didn't want it to stop, sadly, I became sleepy that my eyelids were closing on their own. Strangely, feeling the air through my hair made me yearn for something. I don't know what I'm longing for, but I feel like it's there, barely out of reach, I just need to grab onto it. Furthermore, I'm beginning to love our runs with Ryder, something about it seems thrilling. It made me feel like I'm home like I'm whole.I'm guessing I fell asleep at some point, I felt Rakel carry me home, he took off my clothes, draped the covers over me before joining me in my small bed.*The next day, we were awoken by a scream. Rakel and I jerk awake from the bed, blinking at the source of the voice.I saw Cassie gazing at me then back at Rakel in surprise. She had many questions in her eyes, hurt and understanding. That was when I realized Rakel slept in my bed… I glanced down at my bod
At six, a black SUV pulled up outside the house. Cassie brought me in front of the mirror to see her work, “What do you think?”I rolled my eyes at her giddiness before turning to look at myself in the mirror. “Oh…my… God!” I gasp.“You like?” Cassie asked with a satisfied smirk.“No, I love it!”The red dress is something I've never worn before, something I never thought I would wear. The dress hugged my slim and tall frame and it also has a deep V at the front, covering almost nothing but my breast. It was a tube gown that seemed to have small diamonds all over the dress, making it sparkle under the lights. Cassie styled my dark hair in an elegant French twist showing my slender neck. I'm sure that Knox will specifically like my exposed neck tonight. Speaking of Knox, why would he choose such revealing clothes?“You look gorgeous, Laney,” Cassie whis
The kiss was entirely different from the ones I had with Rakel. While Rakel would dominate my lips, Knox let me explore his lips. And honestly speaking, I'm enjoying being in control for the first time, but the control only lasted for a short while before he took over. Knox's lips parted as my tongue shyly seek entrance into his mouth, stars burst behind my eyelid as our tongues met. I felt like I'm on cloud nine, not only that, but I wanted more.He moved his mouth over mine, like a dance. While my tongue seeks him, he'd try to avoid mine while teasing me at the same time. He's a good kisser, I never thought one will enjoy kissing this much. I felt his hand slid down my exposed back. His other hand found my breast. Squeezing it lightly, Knox explored my curves as lips trail towards my neck. My hands went into his white soft hair as my nipples harden against my dress.He continued playing with my breast, squeezing and tugging at my nipple, the sensation mad
I've been scrambling backward on my hands and ass, my movement uncontrolled as fear gripped me. My heart left my body when my hand met nothing but air. That's right, I'm already at the edge of the rooftop and I could feel myself falling, but I couldn't bring myself to scream. It's like my voice got stuck in my throat, I was still in an appalled state. The only thing in my mind then is… this is it Laney, the day I will die.I shut my eyes tightly, waiting for the impact when my body will hit the ground. However, just at the last minute, I felt hands wrapping around my waist, the next moment, I felt air whipping around me then everything became silent.“Look at me, Laney.” I shook my head.“Delaney… please…” I heard him sigh, “I scared you. No, you fear me.” he mumbled.I wanted to deny this but couldn't, if I'm not mistaken, he could hear my pounding heart, he could smell the fear oozing
