Chapter 54Rhys pov“ Where is she?” I repeated my question, they all stared at me dumbfoundedly and didn't respond.“ You can continue,” I don't want to add pressure to the atmosphere so l left them to look for Mara. Since she isn't In the training ground, she should be in her room.I strolled casually to her room,it seemed strange but I found myself wanting to see her.“ Alpha,” a coy voice rang behind me, making me freeze immediately. I gritted my teeth together angrily because I could feel a headache coming, judging from the owner of the voice.“ Good morning, Are you here to see me?” I replied politely.‘ You don't have to fake it, I also dislike her,’ black teased, interrupting my thoughts.‘ Do you know that it's not so Polite to interrupt people,’ I barked at him and shut him off from my thoughts.“ Did you hear what I just said? Seemed like you zoned off,” Yara said, jotting me from my thoughts.“ Pardon? Can you repeat what you said? I was bothered by something.” She tugged
Chapter 55Mara's povI grasped as my heart beat faster. Pregnancy! How did it happen? How could it be positive? “ I asked myself. Tears circulated my eyes, I squat gently on the floor.I felt my pulse and gasped, “ I am pregnant,”Confusion clouded my face as nothing specific came to my head. “ How… How did it happen?” My lip shook and quivered.I checked my pulse again to confirm my doubt but it was still the same thing. I was feeling two pulses.Tears gathered in my eye, making me squat gently on the floor, “ why is today such a bad day for me?” I lamented, tears rolling uncontrollably down my cheek.Footsteps started drawing near me and approached me, I stood up in a jiffy and dusted my body. I wiped my nose and cleaned my eyes to prevent the person from suspecting that something was wrong with me. At least that was the last thing I wanted to happen.I touched my lip to see that some remains of my vomits still hung on the side. With a look of repulse and disgust, I rinsed it of
CHAPTER 1MARA’S POVAs I breathed in the scent of the morning dew, I was filled with pure joy: finally, the chance to let Gretel run wild freely. Stripping down, I changed into my wolf form, Gretel and I surrendered to the thrill of racing through the trees. I glimpsed the reflection of my wolf as I dashed by a stream, a sense of freedom enveloped me, even as Gretel howled out her excitement at our run. I felt guilty at keeping her caged most of the time.I wanted to bring her out but I barely even had time to sleep as I was always rushing to one part time job or the other.As if on cue, my phone began to ring."Not again?! You promised to let me run today" Gretel whined"I'm really sorry Gretel" I said, "but we are broke right now and we need a LOT of money" Gretel groaned in frustration," fine" she said before turning to sprint back in the direction we came from. I had changed back to my human form and dressed up as fast as I could before carrying my bag and rushing off to work.
Chapter two Mara POVMy mind wandered back to the amount of money I had saved. I wasn't sure if I saved here and there on my paychecks, I would meet up and I had another issue to worry about , which is mom's approval.Thankfully the alarm I had set to signal the end of my shift went off, it made me rush to change at the break room before dashing out of the store, ignoring the angry voice of my boss.So now ,how do I get home after today's After today's mess? Usual subway ? But I really want to take a break from everything ,so maybe taxi this time ? I asked myself while checking my purse , I froze then . I guess I couldn't even take the break I wanted. I resigned to my fate and took the subway . By now I was used to the cluster of people in the train , as I gripped the hand rail tighter to hold myself steady , I felt a hand on my butt. What the hell is this guy doing?I used my second hand to push the straying hand's away but the hand came back and I could feel a hot foul breath o
Chapter 3"Gretel, that man smells so nice."Oh yes he smells so heavenly. I wouldn't mind spreading my legs for him right here" Gretel responded, her voice quivering with excitement.Sighing, I calmed myself down and then stalked towards, lithely avoiding the bodies in the already overcrowded bar. I could feel his eyes following me throughout and it made me quicken my pace.Soon I was standing before the man. His eyes roamed my body in a slow and deliberate manner that clearly expressed that he liked what he saw. His lips curved into a smirk."Hi there." I said while panting. I wasn't sure if it was from being tired or having such a handsome man devour me with his eyes."Hi." His voice was a deep baritone that instantly made me wet between my legs. I clamped them close and slid into the seat beside him.He sniffed at the air before licking his lips and I know my attempt at covering my arousal had failed badly. He leaned forward till his mouth was beside my ear and I immediately tense
CHAPTER 4MARA’S POV“What did you just say?” I inquired, totally confused and dumbstruck.“You heard me right, Mara. Stop acting like you didn’t. This your reaction here is why I don’t like dealing with you. You always try to play down the situation till it suits your liking. I said you are getting married to our new sponsor. There! I said it again. Hope you heard this time around?” Her snide remarks or the fact that she said she doesn’t like dealing with me didn’t even get to me this time as I was too busy processing thewords I just heard.I was getting married? And that to with a total stranger who decided to wake up one day and sponsor the orphanage?“No!” I replied immediately.I didn’t even turn to gauge her expression as I turned and tried to leave. I would have been successful in my attempt if I didn’t realize that she had locked the door. She seemed to have anticipated my move so she locked it on her way back in.“Open the door!” I demanded as I turned back to face her. I wa
Chapter 5Mara povShe continued. “This is the least you could do for how I saved you back when you had nowhere to go. Plus, you know what would happen should the sponsor come tomorrow and be dissatisfied. I heard he has enough power to shut us down. Think of all the young ones who will be tossed out on the street.”“But..”“No buts! Just think it through. The future of the orphanage now depends on you and your decision. Also, should you agree, you are not to ever tell the sponsor that Talia is dead. We don’t want him to start digging only to find out about our involvement. Do I make myself clear?”I wanted to refute but I couldn’t. I clenched my fists till I was sure they had bled before I replied.” Crystal.”With that, I stormed out of the office and went straight to my room.I paced around agitatedly as both I and my wolf grew restless. In my chaotic state, I accidentally slipped on the rug causing me to stumble and fall headfirst into the carton box I had laid by my bed.The conte
CHAPTER 6RHYS’S POV“Have we met before?” I inquired as uncertainty filled me when I saw her eager expression. She didn’t feel familiar to me at all.Was this some sort of tactic to make me like her or was this some sort of outdated pick up line?I wanted her face to fall when I uttered those words and for a moment, a very brief and almost unnoticeable one, I had the thought to lift her spirit. I immediately shook such thoughts to the back of my mind.“I... we... The” I raised a brow as I watched her stumble upon her words as her cheeks colored a bit. I didn’t know why but I found this sight oddly cute. Her face and clumsy expression was weirdly pleasing to my eye.I chased those thoughts out of my head. No matter how nice she looked, I still preferred Talia’s beautiful and serene face to hers. She was what I longed for in a woman. A hardworking educated woman who sparked a man’s desire to protect her. Talia was all that and more.“My name is Rhys Ingrid.” I announced that the woman
