SUNSHINE:Knoxx's expression darkened as the surroundings outside. His mood was more gloomy than the sky. "You will never be my mate," Knoxx declared. Ouch. That hurt even if it came from a bastard like him. Despite ruining my wedding and uncovering my ex-mate's cheating, it still hurts a lot. I wondered if there was someone out there who would accept me for who I was. Was there such a thing as a third chance mate? Because if there was, I would be forever thankful for it. I promised I would love my mate forever and I would give the love he so much deserved. As if I want to be your mate, too," I mumbled under my breath. Lifting my gaze and meeting his eyes, I added, "You think I want to be yours too? Don't forget I have already forgiven what you did at my wedding." "That wedding was bound to halt.""Why? Because you've been telling me you will do everything to stop it?" I answered back. Yes, he did. Knoxx was secretly telling me that the wedding would push through. That he wou
SUNSHINE:Oh, great. Knoxx's pride was higher than the sky. Not even accepting the drinks and foods I offered? Well, it's not my loss but mine. I opened one pack of chocolate and ate it. Tomorrow. Maybe Knoxx would get something out of the forest if there was a forest along the way. He was one of the best hunters in our pack and I just could not help but depend on him.I feel so useless right now. Depending on my stepbrother who never even liked me. And a mate for that matter. I moaned as the delicious chocolate exploded in my mouth. This was better than nothing at all. If I should have known that there was a storm, I should have brought a lot of food. Still eating, I said, "'Don't you get it?""Get what?""We need to work hand in hand. When we reach Rogue Town, we are the only ones who are considered comrades. We cannot trust the rogues, yet. It's only you and I. So if I were you, I would start forgetting temporarily that you hated me."A growl escaped from his lips. "I don't wan
SUNSHINE:Bandits. How lucky could we get? Bandits were the worst group that we had to encounter. Men who were willing to kill and abuse their female captures. All in cold blood. If Knoxx won't help me, I could not just stay put and let them be carried by them. I refused to be a damsel in distress like how I protracted myself. "You won't succeed whatever you are planning," I declared. I won't allow them. Someone pulled me up while securing both of my hands on the back. The man's grip was so tight that squirming wouldn't help at all. And it fucking hurt. A group of four men. All bulky and muscular. All carried a high-powered gun. Maybe they got it from the travelers they had come across. All they did was steal from someone. That was how they lived in this forsaken place. Knoxx could handle the three while I dealt with one. Or maybe we could deal with both. But how? I need the right timing. The right time to pounce. The men's eyes were full of malice and the way they stared a
SUNSHINE: The rest of the ride was harder than before. Every movement. Every bumpy road meant Knoxx was being shoved into me, his chest slamming against my back.I’d been telling him to drive slowly, but he was no longer listening since his goal was to reach the town as fast as we could. I sighed, forcing myself to withstand everythingI had no idea why he suddenly changed our seats, but if he thought I liked the sudden changes, he was really wrong. I did not like it at all.‘I like it. I loved it. He smelt nice,’ Helena muttered inside my head. When it came to her mate, she was always alive and active, but when it came to defending me from the enemies, she was nowhere in sight. That was the problem. Everything that Knoxx did was beautiful in her eyes.‘Don’t forget I haven’t forgiven you for leaving me alone with those men, Helena.’The wolf whimpered. ‘It won’t happen again. I did not do anything because our mate was with us. He will not allow any harm will befall us. He liked
SUNSHINE:"It won't happen again," Knoxx declared in conviction then hopped out of the horse, leaving me alone. ‘Don’t talk anymore, Sunshine.’‘If I don’t? Will you kiss me? Right in front of Dante? You can do it, Brother, so that Dante will know of my role in your life.’‘Your role is nothing but a nuisance. Dante should not know that we are mates.’“If I did tell him? What’s the worst thing that you could do to me, Brother? With Dante here, you cannot threaten me. If you did, I would expose our relationships to the rogues and your people.’His back tensed.‘You won’t do that.’I folded my arms in front of my chest. ‘I can do that.’‘Aren’t you ashamed? They will be disgusted.’‘Is that the reason why you don’t want them to know? You don’t want to be the talk of the town?’He looked away. ‘I don’t want them to hear them saying my mate was once fucking my sworn enemy.’My mouth went wide. ‘Everything was all in the past!’ I screamed in his head. As if sensing my anger, the horse ne
SUNSHINE:I smirked at Knoxx when he still could not answer his warrior’s question. I could sense that he would rather die than tell everyone the truth that we were mates in this forsaken place. “Alpha Knoxx?” Dante asked. "Did you find your mate? I'm only asking since it's been a long time since I returned to the pack."I waved my hands in front of my face. "You don't have any idea," I replied, smirking. The atmosphere became thick with tension. 'Whatever you're planning, you have to stop it,' Knoxx said in my head. 'I'm not planning anything. You're always thinking negative things about me, my dear brother,' I uttered, chuckling. 'Why don't you tell him the truth? Your pack needed to know the truth. They will celebrate you for finding your mate,' I urged. 'I would rather die than they would know.'Glancing over his shoulder, Knoxx answered, “No. I haven’t found my mate. If I did, I wouldn’t be here without her. I will always bring her wherever I go. I will protect her and cher
20. DroolSUNSHINE:"Will you use your brain for a moment?" Knoxx asked in exasperation. I stared at him in disbelief. "Well, I am sorry that I am not that intelligent like you, okay? What's the harm in asking? At least I am not portraying that I know it all."Dante looked at me with an apologetic smile. "It's not that they want to become a beta. Any position is enough, Miss Sunshine as long as they hold something in the pack. A position. That is. They wanted it for a long time."A position in the pack? For me, that was not hard at all. As long as this battle between the rogues and the pack will stop. The images of the children's curious eyes flashed in my mind. Their life would become better if they were brought to the pack. Unfortunately, the leader did not think about what might be good for them. His focus was on the war against the alpha and he tended to forget that there were still innocents in this place. "Why don't you give it to them?" I asked Knoxx. "What's the harm in gi
21. SUNSHINE:A drool? I did not have a drool, did I? Still, out of impulse, I wiped the drool in the corner of my mouth only to find that there was none.Glaring at Knoxx, I muttered, ‘You liar. I should have known that nothing good would come out of your mouth!’ I hissed through our mind link. ‘It shows in your face. How dare you drool at your enemy. You're an embarrassment. You fantasized about men even if they are the enemy,’ he growled. ‘They are not my enemy. They are yours, Knoxx. My task is to help you reach an agreement with them. But it never talked about anything like not fantasizing about them.’The place was oozing with testosterone. ‘Does men only matter to you? Does seeing naked men interest you?’A knowing smile was pasted on my face. 'Why? Do you want to watch you, instead?' I shrugged my shoulders. ‘Can you blame me? Back at our pack, nothing interests me. It's only Jericho. I was able to stay there for a few years because of him.’Because of Knoxx and his other
