" River." Estelle called the moment she entered Lair's suite and her eyes caught that gorgeous face she hadn't seen in a while. He was talking intently to the Beta but immediately raised his head towards her when he heard her voice." Hey doll," he called too with a smile as he watched her run towards him like a baby whose father had just returned from work. Estelle giggled when he lifted her in his arms like she weighed nothing." I missed you." She smiled and his eyes which seemed dull lightened up almost immediately and she smiled wider, hugging his wide chest with a sigh of relief." Gosh, she had missed this scent so much." She thought as she sniffed his nape and giggled again when he kissed her neck as he seemed to have grown some stubbles and they tickled her.Surprisingly, she pulled away from the hug and stared at his face. He had really grown some stubbles and his face had gone a little lean, giving him a slightly different look." You became lean." His eyes darkened as
Since Jesse was a doctor, she thought he had to have a library of knowledgeable books about different kinds of ailments and probably, their cures.His wife saw her when she entered their house again even after just leaving with the Alpha." Luna," the woman called, quite surprised." Hello. Hm, you wouldn't mind if I check on Jesse for a while, would you? I really didn't get much time to earlier ago as the Alpha was quite in a rush but I suppose he's also quite busy now." Estelle said, gesturing at River through the window. He was just a few strides away." Of course, Luna. That'd be my pleasure." The woman bowed." Please, feel free. I'll leave immediately I'm done." Estelle said before hurriedly getting into the adjoining room as River looked quite hurried when she just saw him. She had to find something important or rather, an important clue before they'd leave as she wasn't so sure if she'd find any opportunity to step out of the palace's gates again and neither did she think
" Where's Neil? I've been looking for him." Kaileyn asked with a frown on her face while Elliot bowed before nudging towards the dungeon. Her frown deepened instead." What is he doing there?" She asked again." The Beta's busy." Was what Elliot only replied and Kaileyn hissed when she noticed the guard's body signs that obviously said he wasn't ready to say much.Kaileyn went to the dungeon, her eyes searching around for Neil but he wasn't he sight. Her ears straightened up when she heard muffled sound of groans from the other side of the dungeon and she rushed there but her eyes immediately widened when she heard a familiar voice. " Yes, Beta. I swear, please forgive me." She heard and at the perfect recognition of the voice, her features expressions changed. Her eyes now laced with a tinge of fear. She made to go forward, to stop Neil but it seemed like her legs had been fixated to the floor from fear.That voice....the owner of that voice was undeniably her personal guard. T
Estelle ran back to the palace and straight up to the bedroom where she hid herself under the quilt, her breath sounding heavy that she had to palm her nose and mouth as people hundred meters away could definitely hear how loudly she was breathing but then, when she started to feel suffocated, she removed her palm from her face, now digging her face into the pillow.She pulled the quilt off her body again, sitting up in the bed and chewing her fingernails, fear and nervousness crawling all around her skin and giving her goosebumps.Lair jumped up from the bed; That certainly means her blood really had an effect on him but she just didn't have an idea if it was a good effect or a bad one, she didn't know and it was giving her a mad scare. Nothing must happen to Lair because of her carelessness of else she wasn't going to forgive herself.Still very restless and unable to act normal, she jumped up from the bed and left for the living room where she plonked on the couch, her breat
In a flash, a few days had gone by, five days actually.Estelle sighed when she saw her husband's suspicious gaze on her again." Just tell me exactly what it is." He said softly but she only flashed an innocent smile at him as she blinked sweetly but the man just shook his head with a short heave.Estelle sighed. She had really been behaving suspiciously these past days. Why won't she? Lair was as fine as ever now and she had found out her blood seemed to be one special substance. Lair actually fell into a deep unconscious state after that night and had just regained consciousness earlier in the morning but she still hadn't gone to see him.Hell, she was so scared. What if he actually wasn't sleeping and had saw her that night? What would happen when people find out about such absurd thing? And R...river? She thought with a sigh as she stole a short glance at the silver haired man who was actually staring at her but she immediately looked away and she heard him chortle in that
There wasn't a tear nor a smile on her face as she dragged her bags out with a very firm and unchanged look in her eyes this time. The maid who had been following her around had widened her eyes in confusion when she at first saw the fury Naina used to return to her room but seeing her now with bags and luggages....got her confused.This....was the middle of the night. Where was she going? " Miss, please, what are you doing? I can't allow you to go anywhere like this. Please let's go back." The maid pleaded from behind as she tried to catch up with Naina's hurried movement. She was quite surprised and impressed at he human's quick strides too but there wasn't the time to think about that now." You wouldn't be able to make it through anywhere when it gets darker because of the heavy climate change so why don't you just wait till the day gets bright again before deciding on what to do, Miss? Please," the maid was still calling after Naina.Surely, the guards at the gates weren't
" R...iver? What's wrong, are you okay?" She asked immediately but he only hummed with his warm, thin lips now on her nape. She felt his teeth drag around that area and she shook at the shock that it caused on her body. As she bit her lips to conceal the moan that she was about to release, she looked into the glass again.He didn't look good and she wondered what happened. He wasn't staring up this time but she could feel something wasn't wrong with him." Where have you been? I've been waiting for you, you know." She asked him but with knotted brows when she noticed that for some strange reasons, he was trying to make sure she didn't peer into his eyes and it was working as his long, dark lashes prevented her from seeing his eyes." Do not wait for me another time." He whispered into her ears as he drew her into his chest but he pulled away almost immediately and dug his face back in her nape and Estelle could only hold his head as she caressed his soft, silky mass.He suddenl
Yelina stared up at the figure before her with an uncomfortable frown on her face." What is she doing here?" She thought and at the same time, taking extra caution to secure her thoughts." This is a very odd time, My lady. Are you–" she was saying but as she expected, she was being interrupted." Are you saying that I can only come here in whichever time you want? Yelina." " No, never, My lady. Please forgive my rudeness." Yelina could only say as she bowed and her long hair that fell on her face hindered the beautiful woman before her from seeing the angry look on her face." I can smell your reluctance but it's none of my business, amore Jesse." The lady laughed. " Well, I think I have a very important news to tell you. Surely, one you'd very like to hear but in return, you'll now have to do as I say. Remember, I told you just sometime ago that we'd both need each other's help someday and it is now that I'll tell you what you need to do." " My–"" I also told you about getti
