Austin's POVThe way she puts the question to me, I search for a chink in her armor. Anything that might give her away that this is just another one of her pranks.Only what I see is genuine. She's actually crying and it confuses me for a moment. The last time I have seen her tears was when we had a fight in her room, and that had been in a far different scenario from this very one."Ellie? Why would you even want to ask that?""I have a right to, don't I?"I spread my hands. "I think... you do, Ellie. But this is...""Unexpected?""Yeah," I say, stretching the pronunciation of the word to make it sound like three syllables.She nods, like she really understands the situation she has put herself in is one that's even strange to her but what the hell does she care?She bites on her lower lip like she's trying to stop herself from crying out loud and I'm glad that she does that. "I saw something on the internet about you this morning while I was in school.""Oh, yeah? Is that why you ar
Third POV They both sit there till Ellie stops crying, and that’s when the school officially closes all lectures for the day.Anna consults the watch on her left wrist when she hears the noises upstairs and the shuffling of feet coming down the stairs.“About time,” she says to herself, then looks at Ellie, whose head rests sideways in the crook of one arm. Her eyes are open but they look as dead as sandy soil. “School’s over, Ellie. You might want to shake some breath of life into yours.”Ellie makes a sound like she’s trying to mumble rap. She raises her head and looks straight at the opposite wall, where the door is.“Ellie, I know we haven’t been on talking terms of late, but the one thing I don’t know is why the hell you would come in here crying your eyes out like you’ve lost your womb.”Ellie gives her a look but Anna waves it away. “Don’t give me that look now. You’re lucky that wall is not a mirror, Ellie. You would have been scared to even see how you look.”“I don’t care,”
Ellie's POV"Why?" Jaden demands. "No. I love romantic stories. Let her talk.""I need her to stop talking because she's going to the restroom with me, okay? Have fun, Jay."Anna holds my hand and we walk towards the restroom.Anna splashes water onto my face and then she slaps me on both sides of my cheeks, and she sounds urgent."I'm gonna need you to stop yourself from saying anything in front of Jay, okay? I have a feeling that he doesn't like the guy you've fallen in love with."My head's spinning. Not like the effect of an orgasm, but vertigo spinning. I almost cannot stand up on my feet and I have to hold the sink for support so I don't fall on the slimy floor.I find my voice hidden somewhere under my throat. "What are you talking about, Anna? What's not to say to him?""I understand that you're drunk Ellie and I have the vaguest idea whom you're talking about but I'm not gonna take advantage of your vulnerable state and extract information from you.""Are you implying that's
Austin's POVI awake and it feels like my whole body is on fire. Not the scorching heat kind of fire, but the sensation that rides and collides inside of me is enough to fry the hairs on my hands. And it isn't even a bonfire night.There is movement around me and I realize that this is the reason for the sensation building up inside of me like a fucking geyser spray.I see that Ellie is beside me on the bed, and her hands are all over my body like God moulding man on the fifth day; or was it the sixth rather?Her hands touch almost every part of me that is accessible to her. They make contact with my face and I marvel at how smallish they seem. Then those fingers play with my lips for a moment before sliding down to my chest. My shirt is still on but she finds a way to unhook the buttons and massage my pectorals.When I look carefully at her face, I see that Ellie is unconscious, probably having a wet dream with whoever her fuzzy mind brings up. God is really a wonderful piece of ima
Ellie's POVI wake up and it feels like I am breaking the surface of water for oxygen.My heart still beats from the last part of my dream and my eyes are heavy, feeling like snowflakes fell on my eyelids.I am alone in the room and when I pay more attention to my surroundings, I find out that I am back in my own room.It takes me a moment to recollect that I had been in Austin's room, and the last I actually remember is me kissing him on the lips and then falling asleep beside the Alpha King.How much I wanted him. But he did not want to compromise. Never knew there still existed males who think with the upper part of their bodies and not the lower part.Finally, I have lived up to his accusations of me being a seductive piece of feminine creation. And this brings a smile to my face. I caress my neck with one palm and stretch until I hear some joints shift in protest.I pull the covers off me and it doesn't surprise me any longer that my clothes are still intact and I don't feel like
Ellie's POV"Are you fucking kidding me?""Say what?" a little childish voice asks. I look down to see a boy not more than five, staring at me with a curious and confused expression.I open my hands and shrug at him. Then I dance around the boy, trying to make him get into the fun act. When it works, I herd him back to the team of furry suits and he forgets about Barney for a while and giggles at Mickey Mouse.I keep my gaze on Austin as he walks over to bloated Robin Hood and they shake hands like longtime friends. Suddenly, the manager seems to have developed a loud voice and I almost hear all the stuff he tells Austin, amidst the gleeful chatter from the kids around me.It turns out that bloated Robin Hood, whom I initially thought was the manager, is actually the owner of this amusement park. He must be rolling in money, and maybe that's why he is so fat. He is also a long-time friend of Austin.How they met, I have no idea, but I guess that it must be the money connection. Spoile
Ellie's POVWhen it is midnight, I hear it. The ripples come in form of sounds like someone is struggling to breathe. It spreads, like an endemic. And I almost feel it across my body like goosebumps.I begin to have a feeling that the medicine has begun to exert its effect on Austin's body system. And I am too nervous that I pause the movie, rise from my chair and open my door.The hallway is empty. There is a light seeping out from the space under Austin's door. I step into the hallway and tiptoe to his door. I need to know what is going on.I place my left ear to his door, ignoring the obsidian lion snarling at me. My body moves before me and I catch myself even before I fall inside. The door is ajar.Touche.I find Austin lying on the bed, his face to the ceiling. I move closer and his face is flushed, like a man about to give his last thrust before he releases all the seed in him. He looks even sexier in this state. I kneel beside the bed and put a palm on his neck.It's as hot as
Ellie's POVAustin doesn't ask me anything about that night again, and I relieve me to the bone. I cannot even believe that Dr. Nathan Edge's medicine was fake and had no positive effect on Austin. I was hoping that would mark the end of his wolfsbane, but life can sometimes be a playful bitch, and you just have to play along.We don't talk much in the days that pass, Austin and I, but anytime he looks at me, I can feel the electricity of desire crackling in the air between us.I try to make up another plan on how to get Austin to eat or drink whatever I bring him. And I need to do this regularly so he doesn't have to find out that I have been mixing my blood in his food or champagne, and serving it to him with a pleasing smile on my face.I use the internet on my laptop to do this. Discover a lot of ways to do what I have in mind, and choose one of them.It's on a Saturday morning when I corner Uncle Chris for a discussion in the lobby. He is dressed like a corporate waiter at the At
