JAYDEN“I just came to find a novel,” I lied, not having a better thing to say. There is no way I can tell him that I came in here because I wanted to use his computer. Not only is there one in my room, but my phone is enough for me. The ring in my pocket seemed to burn holes in my flesh. He gave me a strange look, but I made sure to maintain the lies I told him. “A novel? Since when have you been a reader?” He gave me a look that proved he didn't trust my words. “… Well,” I ran my fingers through my hair, “Chrys asked for it. She sent me to get some for her. I will be on my way now,” I strode towards the door.“And what of the novel?” He raised a brow at me. “I didn't see any,” I opened the door and left, banging it shut behind me. ****I had just settled into my room for the evening when an urgent summons echoed through the mansion. The voice was deep and commanding, unmistakably Gordon's. I was shocked since he had never called me in such a manner.As I made my way down the
JAYDENI have this bad feeling that refused to let go. It stuck to me like a leech and no matter how much I tried to put the feeling away, it was just impossible. I feel Gordon never believed the lies which I told him. I had this hunch that he knew I was concealing something that he had been seeking for a very long time, and there was no doubt he couldn't wait to find out what it was.I sat absent-mindedly at dinner, staring into space, oblivious of the things going on around me. The clink of glasses, and the maid walking around, serving. None of that caught my attention, I was instead more focused on the bigger picture. With one last glance in Gordon's way, sighed, aware that I needed to act as naturally as I could. I settled for dinner, my eyes catching the fine plates gleaning under the soft, dim light of the room. Somewhere in my subconscious mind, the thought continued to gnaw at me. Claudia, the new maid, moved around the dining room. I noted how her attention was solely focu
JaydenI slowly turned, surprised to see a man behind me. In annoyance, I continued my pace, refusing to give him any reply. In a fleeting moment, the guard placed his hand on my shoulder in an attempt to stop me. I turned angrily, but before I could react, he dashed a heavy punch to my face. I blacked out for a moment, but I revived quickly. My senses were already on edge, and all I could think of was to make him regret the action which he had just taken. I latched at the man, while he struggled with me. I began to bite, scratch and growl, doing everything possible to kill the man, but he seemed a bit strong. I doubt he was even human, to begin with.He could barely do anything, and we knew what would happen if I didn't kill him. He was really a very stubborn creature.“Hold on!” He yelled, standing from the ground. My mind was still shrouded in a haze from his punch, but I could feel myself coming back slowly. The man didn't seem to feel a thing. With its hands, it grabbed me a
CHRYSI know I've done far more terrible things in my life, but none comes close to sleeping with my stepson. Goddess, I'm such a whore. How the hell will I face Gordon, knowing that I allowed his son to fuck me? And that's not even part of my problem. It's how I ended up liking it. Like damn. How do I redeem myself from this pit which I'm slowly sinking into because of Jayden? He entered into my life and turned my already confusing life upside down, leaving me more troubled than I was before I met him. I know I enjoyed the sex with him, but come on. It wasn't supposed to happen. 'But he's our mate!' Chels tried to argue.Mate or no mate. I'm not supposed to be intimate with him, god-damn it! How the hell will I face Gordon now?'Break off with him. You can't continue in the relationship now because your body will naturally reject him should he try to touch you. Just break it off with him and —'Easier for you to say, Chels. Gordon has helped us. We can't just dump his sorry
“I know you think that I’m a bad father, but that's not true. What I have ever done was in your best interest and what I’m doing now is to set you on the right path because you being alone will put you open to dangers. It’s a deadly place without your pack by your side," he said as he glanced around. “I don’t want to be among a pack that doesn’t have me at heart. All that you say is nothing but lies. I’m the least of your worries, it’s either you let me go for good or forever chase me around like a dog!” He winced at my raised voice but didn't let the expression stay for long. “You are old enough to have a family of your own, Chrysalis. This father of yours is old. He can't continue —"I huffed in anger as I turned once more, and headed over to the river I vowed not to go to. Well, I said I won't return there alone.But having my father with me, I felt like thinking about Jayden was the least of my problems. I just want to get rid of him as fast as I can so that I can return to my
The fight I had with my father left me looking almost like the dead. I'm more than grateful that there was no one around when I stepped into the house, else I would have had a lot of explaining to do. Jayden only knows that I'm not a human; however, he doesn't know why I'm living in the human world. I went to my room to change, waiting for my body to heal before I left. I know Jayden won't come to my room because it's almost time for Gordon to return. None of us will wish to be caught by my husband. I stayed in my room until my bones were righted, making me look as if I didn't just fight with my father. I got dressed in a black gown and went downstairs to prepare dinner, only to see Claudia already preparing one. A smile tugged on the side of my mouth at the sight of the woman in my kitchen. Having a live-in maid is dope, especially when the said live-in maid does things you don't have the strength to do. The moment I stepped into the dining, she turned to face me with a smile on
When I heard Jayden's door open, I thought he was going to come over to my room, but he didn't. He strode past my room, and a few minutes later, I heard the start of a car. Shocked, I rose from the bed and rushed to the window, to look out. Sure as hell, Jayden was leaving the compound. I left the window and raced out of my room, attempting to catch him before he left, but I was late. Before I could make it downstairs, he had already left. I stood at the door, wondering where he was going at this time of the night. It was a bit suspicious that he happened to leave a few minutes after his father did. Could it be that he's following Gordon?But that doesn't make any sense. Why would he wish to trail his father? It's not as if something is going on that I don't know about. “Having a difficult time sleeping?”I was startled by the question, despite knowing who it was. Having someone else in the house is something I need to get used to. “Oh, Claudia,” I turned to face her with a for
Not for the first time, I was tempted to ask why he seemed to hate his father, but I didn't do that. Or, you can say he didn't allow me to speak before he slid a finger into my pussy, which clamped down it, eager for some action down there. 'And she claimed she's not a slut.' Chels scoffed, giving me this urge to either seek her out or knock her on the head — an impossible task. “I love the way you squirm when I do this,” he curled the finger in before he began to slowly slide it out, only to slip it in.“Fucking hell!” I cried out, widening my legs as my chest heaved. Sweat gathered on my forehead as my breathing increased. I was panting like an animal in heat — something that's not far from the truth. He leaned down and ripped my nightgown off my body in one tug, leaving me naked, with my hard nipples pointing straight at him.“Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you look when you are naked?” He inserted another finger, adding to the one he already had.“No,” I breathed out,
