If my mom is alive and well, will she ask me to buy her favorite apple crumble pie and eat it with her? This is the case for me; I have so many what-ifs, so many wishes left unanswered because my mother isn't here with me anymore. Looking at Amanda makes ne furious more than pleased; I'm not given a chance to fight with her that night, and until now, whoever that evil pack who murdered mine perished without getting punished. I'm savoring the burden in my hands like the blood of my collection is on me. "That's my favorite too among others in the world; I'll try to drop by--, I mean, get you some when I get home." Amanda welcomes me in her arms, hugging me gently, "Thank you, you're so sweet like sugar, and I'm happy after so long I found a daughter in you." I don't know how to hug people back; it isn't my nature. I'm not the affectionate girl in the room. I don't belong to anyone or anything all my life, but why do I feel somehow I do now? "I have to go now." I walk, aiming for th
AxelI am wearing my best suit today. I'm officially the President, CEO, and owner of Crawford Group Of Companies Incorporate.James is driving me to the office tower. I'm glad that he's a punctual man and I shouldn't worry about him being late. My late grandfather once said, "Time is money, Axel. You better manage your time wisely." I have followed that mantra ever since, and not ever once have I regretted my decision. My grandfather is a wise and kind man.You can call me an ingrate child or son if you must, but I admit I hated my father; who wouldn't? I saw changed women like a leopard change its spots; I witnessed how my mother cried every night, fighting for their marriage until Aunt Leila came and my father had a daughter with her in secret. I remember vividly how my mother's world crumbled into debris when that happened. In the end, my father chose his beloved mistress over my mom, over his family, and me.Heaven might hear my mother cry for so many sleepless nights that one da
"It's going great, mom. We have it on the weekend. You can come if you want. I'll send you the invite and include you on the guest list.His mother giggles, "No way, Leila will be furious, and I don't want her causing a commotion at your welcome party as the new President and CEO; that will be such a disaster to watch, right, Robin?""I guess so." I sound unsure."Will you be there with Axel, Roe?"Axel throws a look, demanding to give him some excuse, yet I refuse."I'm afraid not; I'll be at the animal clinic during weekends; we have tons of patients on those days."His mother scans me and gives me a glance after, "That's nonsense; you two should go to the welcome party as a couple. Roe, cancel your work for the weekend; your husband needs you by his side; a great man always has a great woman behind him, and I'm not taking no for an answer."Axel nods with no choice, "Mom, you don't have to force Roe to come with me; she has a life outside this marriage.""Whatever you say, but a da
I'm turned on, goosebumps all over my body. I feel so alive when he holds me like this in his arms. Axel's blue eyes are full of desire as he dips his head and claims my lips, and I'm not ready for the pleasure his kiss gives me. He nips and licks my lips. A tingling sensation rushes through my bloodstream, and I feel the urge to kiss him back.He pulls away, leaving me wanting more. "Oh baby, you taste so good, Roe." He utters, the desire not leaving his eyes.He is slightly panting. "Let's go to our room?" He brushes his lips to mine. "Right now?" He added.I know better; I should say no in my judgment, but my desire to touch him is greater. I find myself nodding. Is this because of the alcohol? I don't care anymore. I need this to feel like a woman.And yes, I want him, my body wants Axel, even for tonight, I will allow my body to take over and have its way, even when it means entering a dangerous human desire.We made our way to the elevator to reach our hotel room. My heart is be
AxelRoe is sleeping under the soft, warm bed where we had the most exciting sex ever. I've seen everything about her under that blanket. I smile at the memories of what we shared last night.I can say that it's more the sex. Robin and I genuinely have a connection. A particular bond that I can't label for now. Her warm brown brunette hair is like a bird's nest on the pillow. Roe ivory skin type still shines despite the sun rays trying to creep into our hotel's room through the window. She's like a goddess who has succumbed in her slumber, and for a little while, I want to keep this precious moment all to myself.To be or not to be completely honest with me is my only dilemma. Every passing day I care for this incredible, unpredictable woman, and she's like a raging mad sea who will eat me alive and be in her deepest grips.Robin Harris is just that stranger woman I tend to use, but why does that fact seem to change? Little by little.Is she changing me? Or changing my goals?Roe move
AxelI'm not trying to be a hero but watching the hostage crying for help on the monitor's screen. Mark and his task force FBI group set up another camera to freely monitor what was happening inside the hostage area.I'm now wearing a bulletproof vest. My executive assistant Landon sits next to me."Officer, have you set the phone over?"Mark is talking to his subordinates through his walking Radiophone. He seems flustered, yet he had his way to hide it. Being a task force leader makes him hide the worry a little more acceptable than the rest of his teammates."Yes, captain, now the waiting game is on."True enough, since we can't force the criminals to give us a ring, this negotiation will happen according to their book. Their rules, we follow."Copy, if anything happens, radio me."Mark glances at me after putting his radio hanging on his dirty cargo pants."For sure, they'll ask for tons of money."Landon opens up with fear.Mark throws him an acknowledging face, "Sure, but some cr
The young girl's face dims, and she's ready to release a cry, "Mommy, I thought Jupiter will be alright, then why does my cat need to stay here?"Her mother glides her hand to her small back to comfort her kid, "That's why Jupiter is here so that the doctor can monitor. Don't worry; I'm sure Doctor Harris is good; she can help us.""Please, please, Doctor, heal my Jupiter, please."I grab Juliet's tiny hand and squeeze it gently, "Jupiter will be okay; I'll do my best, I promise." I reassure the young girl.Yes, Ria, everything will be alright; I want to hear those words as well.I prepare the IV for Jupiter, the cat. She's a female feline with gray fur and golden eyes. Persian cats are medium size cats."Is it going to hurt mommy? Is he going to be alright?"The young girl showcases actual care and love for their animal pets. I wonder if our werewolf kind can live like pet dogs or cats. Suppose a human can take care of us too, in the dream world, the possibility is a hundred percent.
Mark answers his radio; our ears are parking up, ready to hear every instruction from the dangerous hostage-takers. Landon will faint any moment from now. His face is full of mixed emotions; his eyes are open."You okay?""This is scary. Are you sure, Sir? This is part of my job?"I almost burst out a fatty laugh; my executive assistant and lawyer is a pussy scared man. He should be afraid; this is a threatening life situation after all."Relax, Landon; I think the FBI got this over their control.""I hope so, Sir; I still want to date my girlfriend.""You will, after this." Landon wipes the grains of sweat on his forehead. Oh, poor man."You will release three hostages in exchange for a private jet plane and two twenty million dollars?" Mark his lips pressing together, and his other hand forms a fist."In less than two hours? Are you out of your mind?" He adds it seems that the criminals are cornering the FBI captain and team leader."Do I sound like a joke to you, Captain?" One of t
