Chapter 36Mara’s PovI woke up sweating and panting, it was the first sign of dawn and my senses were already active and driving.It was difficult to find sleep after my realistic dream that night and now my body had finally given out. I was immensely tired.‘Don’t fret or fear, just breathe Mara,’ Gretel said helpfully to me. I subconsciously inhaled and exhaled multiple times, allowing fresh breath of air into my lungs.‘What was that about?’ I asked her, confused by their repeated talks about my wolf being special. ‘Even the moon goddess had appeared to me to tell me that!’ I said.‘You just have to obey her command and hide it well, no matter how tempted you are in a food court, to beat up annoying people.’ She teased and I groaned in remembrance of my terrible evening yesterday.‘Why do I have to hide it though? I didn’t ask for it,” I said weakly and my wolf was quiet.‘I had something similar to what you had. She took me to a place that’s unfit for human eyes. I met with wolv
Chapter 37Rhys’s PovI got to the training ground early, I could see Mara from where I stood and I smiled at her consistent and resilient spirit.‘Order all of the warriors and Miss Jonas to attend today's training’ I mind linked Duncan as I stepped inside the training hall.I walked over to Mara who was engrossed in killing the sandbag, as I got closer and she sensed me quickly, because she turned around just as I neared her.“Hi,” I said shortly to her and she quickly looked away before returning her gaze to me.“Alpha," she nodded and punched the sandbag once more.“How are you doing? You seem better than you were yesterday.” I commented and her face remained dour and expressionless. Was she mad at me?“Yeah. I can’t wallow in my sorrows and have you look after me all the time.” She responded without looking at me and I knew she was mad, but why? “Ermmm…” I mumbled, completely speechless.“Come over here and train with me.” She asked and I went over to her. I helped straighten h
Chapter 38Mara’s POVThe heat was frightening and I was scared at how raging it was. We ran downstairs and I picked up a fire extinguisher from the wall in the gym room. It was the only one there, Rhys had the other one.“Try to avoid the smoke, it’s not good for you” Rhys shouted out to me. I was not thinking of myself, I was thinking of the books we had wanted to pick up and the chances of it being untouched. They were the only books that could tell us about my werewolf heritage. It needed to be saved by all means.“This cannot put off the fire! We need backup equipment!” Rhys yelled, jolting me out of my thoughts. “Where can we get that?” I asked him, as the contents of the extinguisher finished.He sighed and pulled me out of the smoky haven. Other pack members were throwing buckets and buckets of water in there, it was an unfruitful but desperate attempt.“It’s in the warehouse just beside the garage.” He said and pulled me out of there.“But that’s really far away” I commente
Chapter 39Rhys’s PovHer face was lit up and the wolves cheered on as I smiled softly at her.“Thank you. For that,” she said as the wolves went to pack up the remains of the burnt library.“I should be thanking you, we all should be.” I responded. “Wait here, let me get things done upstairs. Azura would accompany you back to your room, rest please, I’ll see you later.” “Okay,” she agreed too easily and I caught the weariness and tiredness in her expression. She was too tired to argue. I hurried upstairs and back into the smoky expanse of the library, it was totally finished and there was nothing left of it. I was at least relieved nobody had died but I was irritated that we couldn’t get a hold of the book.I went over to the section it had been and I bent to pick up the ashes. It was really gone.“I’m sorry about the mess Alpha,” someone said as he passed and I nodded. Their loyalty kept me going most times.“Alpha!” A maid called from behind me and I turned to see Azura’s assist
Chapter 40Mara’s Pov “You are perfect” he said into my ear as he fondled me, I was crushed between him and the big white oak tree. I sighed and grabbed his hair, drawing him deeper into the kiss.“Touch me, touch me everywhere Rhys,”I say and he does, he touches me everywhere and I melt under his hands. His hands stray to the wet part between my legs and I arch in pleasure.“Do you like that?” He asked and suddenly we were at the gym, he was crushing me on the wall and his hands were exploring my insides. I moaned in pleasure and his mouth followed the trails his hands made all over my body. I readied myself for his lips In my wet bridge.“I want you now” I whispered against his hair and he stopped in his tracks, his eyes met mine.“Not yet? Just a little more.” He choked out and I nodded. Not like I had any say in the matter. I was completely under his spell and I loved it.“I want you now!” I cried when I knew I was about to give in, I was at the peak of my pleasure and I wanted
Chapter 41Rhys POVI couldn't help the grin on my face as I sat on my desk,I think trying to focus on the files but uncontrollably thinking about mara .Damn. Her luscious orbs kept distracting me from my work, The way her breast pushed against the thin fabric of mara singlet, nipples hard and begging for attention , was driving me wild ,I couldn't stop imagining how they would feel in my hands ,how her skin would taste and how her body would respond to my touch .I didn't know how long I sat there daydreaming about… her.A soft knock on the door pulled me back to reality, I sat up straight knowing it was Mara.“Come in,” I called out. She didn't open the door immediately; she waited a little before stepping in with a sly smile.I could tell she was nervous because of what happened earlier this morning. She had changed from her pjs to a simple gown, and I wondered how a poor, orphan girl could be so effortlessly elegant.With nicer dresses, her beauty could surpass all she-wolves in
Chapter 42Mara's POVI didn't know what came over me, maybe it was his touch, his intoxicating scent or the fact I had been dreaming of him that gave me the confidence to kiss him.He quickly kissed me back, parting my lips and his tongue fought mine for dominance. I felt a strange surge of pleasure run up my back at the feel of his lips against mine. It felt like heaven. My own personal Heaven.The kiss seemed to ignite a special kind of fire in my body. I closed my eyes fearing it was one of the dreams and that I would soon wake up from it. But I was soon snapped back to reality when I felt myself being lowered down.It’s real! It’s fucking real!I felt his hands tug at my soaking panties from under my dress but my thoughts were too fuzzy to think about caring. My eyes tore open in shock when I noticed his large hand wrap around my neck."Mara..." He growled, pulling away his breathing ragged."I'll fuck you over the desk till you lose your ability to walk if you don't leave now."
Chapter 43 Rhys POV She ran out of my office and I sighed as I settled back on my chair. When did she start to take control over my body and brain? ‘It has been going on for a while. You have just turned an intentional blind eye to it.’ Black said and I rolled my eyes in response. ‘Can’t you respect a man’s thoughts?’ I questioned and he chuckled before replying. ‘I am your thoughts.’ I scoffed and ran my hands through my hair, my shirt clung tightly to my body as I tried to stabilize my breath. My cock was hard and painful, so I went to my office toilet to relieve myself. I unbuttoned my pants and got down to business, “ shit!,” I bit my lips tightly as the pleasure hit my senses. The thought of her wavy long hair coupled with her alluring charm clouded my mind, making me hit the peak faster. “Finally,” I breathed in relief, taking a few rolls of tissue to clean myself up. Beads of sweat gathered on my forehead making me look freaking hot and sexy. I ran my tongue over my
