Kayleigh
“Malyshka… Hey, come here.” Andrei opens the door to the car almost as soon as he stops the car right in front of me. He called this morning and wanted to pick me up but I insisted on finishing the summit activity for the day before we could meet. Unlike him, this is my first year attending the summit. It’s his third, so I guess he can take liberties and take off for family or personal emergencies whenever he needs to.Cillian is still either in a meeting with his dad or already at the border for patrolling. Either way, there was no way of letting him know that I was meeting Andrei today. He’s been busy since yesterday, sorting things out in regards with the red wolves. I didn’t wanna add up to his list of worries.
To say that Andrei is good looking is an understatement. He is incredibly gorgeous. His arms are wide open, inviting me for an embrace. Inviting me for a sin.
<Kayleigh “Andrei, this is the hardest thing I’d ever have to do. But I don’t want to keep stringing you. I’m so sorry. Yes, I’m with someone else." “Why? How?” Pain mars his handsome face. It’s taking every bit of myself not to coil my arms around him. “I don’t know. It sort of just happened. You’re not asking who? That means you know who it is.” I’m relieved that I don’t have to mention Cillian’s name knowing that it would hurt more that I’ve chosen his childhood nemesis over him. “It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who took you from me.” Rubbing his jaw, he doesn’t take his eyes off me. “I’m sorry, Andrei.” “I was gone for a little over two weeks. We’ve been apart longer in the past --- months, even. But you’ve never looked at other men. Cillian must be really special.” “I don’t know what to say or how to respond with that.” “I feel betrayed, malyshka. By the person I care the most a
KayleighI had an eventful afternoon with Andrei. Full of crying and heartaches, of promises and forgiveness, of reminiscing memories and talks of what-could-have-beens. Andrei drove me back to the manor with a heavy heart. Truth be told, my heart wasn’t feeling all that blissful either. It felt like we broke up even though we weren’t really even dating. The last thing he said bewilders me. He said he isn’t letting me go. I didn’t respond because I didn’t know what to say. Or maybe, I didn’t know how to say I want that but I know I shouldn’t. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t. I shouldn’t even be thinking about the things he said anymore. I should’ve just rejected him. Straight up. Point blank. But I didn’t. I’m going to hell for sure. Cillian disrupts my self-castigating and tangles his fingers in my hair while lip-locking
Andrei I pull over the Blue Blood manor’s parking lot and make my way to the back. It’s the last thing I want to do. It’s the last place I want to be at. Kayleigh gutted me today. I know I told her I’m not letting her go and I’ll be around but I didn’t mean right now. I’d prefer drowning myself in alcohol, wallowing the fact that Kayleigh is with Cillian, and blaming myself for waiting this long to make my move with Kayleigh. “Fuck. You said only a few people will be here? Sounds like there’s a circus back there.” Even though I don’t see who all are at the fire pit, I can hear and smell that there’s more than what was told to me earlier. “I didn’t know. Reagan said she’d bring some friends. Not sure how many she brought. I’m sorry for dragging you here. I appreciate your help, though.” I glance at the woman walking right next to me. Kinsley. I never thought I’d see the day when the high and mighty Kinsley would come to me to ask for a favor. Given the recent red wolves
Andrei Kayleigh is jealous. Kayleigh still cares… I'd like to believe she even loves me, still. My head is floating and my heart is about to burst with the new discovery. But I don’t have enough time to bask in the little spark of hope that Kayleigh just lit. Because the bane of my existence is standing in front of me, holding the only woman I’d want to claim as mine. “Kinsley and Reagan filled me up. As long as you stop chasing Kayleigh and promise not to come between my girl and me, I’m all about working together against the red wolves.” I almost lost my cool and smack him in the face. How dare he tells me not to come between him and Kayleigh? My Kayleigh. “I’m not promising shit.” I tilt my chin and cross my arms in front of my chest. “Then we’re not doing this.” He trades a glance with Kayleigh before responding with derision. “Not my problem
CillianEveryone is gone. Only Kayleigh and I are left by the bonfire. She’s straddling my lap as I sit comfortably on an outdoor wooden chair. I take control of our kiss, angling my head so I can ravish her mouth with haste and urgency. She groans when I slip my tongue pass her lips the same time I pull her center on my growing erection. I cup her butt cheeks and pull her tightly against my body.Kayleigh must think I was oblivious on her display of jealousy when Reagan was clinging herself on Andrei.It’s not even our bond as mates that exposed her jealousy. It was just that fucking obvious in plain sight. Everyone around us could see how uncomfortable she was when Reagan was plastering herself all over Andrei.It fucking hurts like hell to see the love of your life display any kind of affection to someone else other than you. It’s eating me from the insi
Cillian “Yo. Cillian. Wake up. Shit. I think we trashed the place last night. I don’t think your uncle James will be happy about this mess. Damn, is that smell coming from you? You reek of moonshine, bro.” Gunner’s voice tremble inside my ear drums and it’s giving me a massive headache. I’m slumped on the couch. I open on eye to peek and look around where I’m at. The cottage. Thanks, goddess. Not at some brothel or pub where I’d regret doing stuff that I didn’t think through. “What the fuck, man. Dial your voice down, will ya? That’s the both of us reeking like moonshine. You drank more than I did last night. Seems like I’m not the only one seething with a broken heart.” After last night’s little love quarrel with Kayleigh, I mind-linked Gunner and pulled him wherever hell hole he was so he can join me at the cottage. To keep me company while I stew in my heartache on Kayleigh’s jealousy
Cillian “Rogues!” As soon as the word leaves Gunner’s mouth, a burly man pushes him on the floor while two of them jump on me. “Fucking shitheads!” I raise my fists up to cover my face but a strong kick in my gut cuts my breathing. I duck down but not fast enough to avoid the heavy punch directed to my face. Shit. That’s going to bruise. Blood drips from my nose and mouth. The taste of bood makes my blood boil. Gunner and I were caught off guard and find ourselves at the end of fists and steel-toe boots. When I finally get my bearings together, I manage to catch one foot that’s about to land on my chest and break the guy’s ankle. Two men flock on me while the other two are still stomping on Gunner. The moonshine really did a number on us. Gunner and I are skilled fighters but I’m finding it hard to throw steady punches. I use my pent-up frustration from not being able to punch Andrei in the face freely and hit the rogue closest to me on the face. I give him a warnin
Cillian “I’m sorry, baby. I’m so sorry.” Kayleigh gives me a calculating glare but does not move away when I coil my arms around her and drop a kiss on her forehead. After a chaotic afternoon of cleaning-up the mess in the cottage, reporting to my dad, and briefing the pack, I finally get Kayleigh alone to myself. I take her to the only safe place I know that will allow us peace and quiet while knowing we have security around us --- around her. Back in the manor. In my bedroom. “What are you exactly sorry about?” She steps back, glares at me before rolling her blue pools. She pretends to look away from me while she sweeps my bedroom with her eyes. Quietly observing. I’m not stupid. I know she’s looking for any trace of other girls, or of Kinsley, left in here. She’ll find none. “For everything.” My head rummage for a better response but fail. “That’s so vague, Cillian.” She lifts her chin and glances at me. Fuck. She’s so beautiful. Walking out on her last night
