Delaney's POV
Ryder 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
Surprise chapter, slight R18 ^_^ ................ “Have you decided?” I scoffed, “Are you drunk? Or you're on drugs. Which is it?” “What?” “I think it's the latter, now tell me how you want to die, should I beat you up or chop off your hands, so you'll never touch any girl you don't know.” The psycho grinned, “I prefer dying with you on top of me.” Okay, that's it, I used my knee to kick his crotch, causing him to stumble. He glances at me in surprise, “You…” “That's what you get for kissing me, psycho!” I scoffed and walked away. I came here to get over my anger, but that weirdo seems to have worsened my mood. Ahh, that pretty blonde is no longer there. “We shall meet again, wildcat!” I heard him say and shook my head. I guess it's better I go home, I need to be there when Delaney comes home… that is, if she comes home tonight. ~ Delaney's POV ~ Adams led me to an e
“Delaney, look at me.” I shook my head. He chuckled. “Tell me something, do you regret what happened last night?” I shook my head. “Let me guess, you're embarrassed because I cleaned you up?” My eyes shut involuntarily, I'm sure my whole body is flushed red from embarrassment. He wrapped his hands around me, pulling me tight against him, “I never realize my mate could be this cute. But don't you think it's normal for a couple to take care of each other? If you don't want me to do that next time, then I won't. I feel it would be better not to make you uncomfortable around me.” “Knox?” “Yeah?” “Where's the food?" He smiled at my excuse to change the topic. Similarly, he didn't bring it up again, he only led me into the room and served my breakfast. The whole day passed quickly with us lying lazily around the house. Knox told me a little about himself, but he didn't mention
Sorry for the late update guys, I was hospitalized, but I feel better now..........~ Delaney's POV ~“What are your plans for today? Left for me, I'll sleep all through and wake up at night.” Cassie sighed, bouncing back on the bed.I shrugged. “Don't know, I think I'll check out my work today. I'm tired of staying at home.” It's Friday already — a day after spending time with Knox, and I miss him. I haven't seen Rakel since that day, I'm beginning to worry. What is he up to now? Does my presence affect him to a point where he can't come see me? I'm running out of time, I know this. They don't have to tell me… I can see it in their eyes, they want me to choose, but who?Who will I go for? Who would have thought that choosing a boyfriend will be this hard? Just the thought of leaving one after choosing the other made my heart ache. How will they feel? According to Mira, rejecting a mate can drive the reject
~ Rakel's POV ~“Where are we going?” she asked for the unkempt time that evening.‘You'll see.’ I replied curtly.“Rakel, are you mad at me?”“No.” I'm furious that my mate lived a harsh life. We continued walking in silence, which made her puff her cheeks with annoyance.“Then, will you tell me why you're quiet?”Again, I ignored her by walking forward. I took a part into the woods, heading to the mountains, making sure to help her along the way. She's running out of breath, I can tell, but she's too stubborn and wouldn't let me carry her, nor get on Ryder. “It would be a long hike.” I had told her. Her reply was… “Even better.” what the hell did she mean by that?“Rakel, did I do something wrong? Tell me what happened.” She demanded.I realize I haven't considered my mate's feelings, Delaney. That is what
~ Delaney's POV ~One minute, I was enjoying the evening with Rakel, spilling words I never thought I'd say to a guy, the next moment I was running for my life. I hated it, I hated being weak. At that moment, something in me wanted to be let out, I could feel it crawling at my inside for release. I don't know if it's my imagination, as I ran, I felt as if I were one with the wind. My footsteps were lighter, my speed, faster. The more I concentrated on it, I felt I could do a lot more. I felt stronger.However, my concentration broke when I bumped into someone. My heart skipped seeing the huge muscled with a thick cold face. He jerked me to him before I could run, then pressed a sharp blade to my side. “If you dare scream, you'll die, whore!”I clammed my mouth shut, It's not like I was planning on screaming, that would only distract Rakel. Recalling his panic gaze when he asked me to run made me bite my inner cheeks, he wasn't scared for himself but
