Raphael Stars…I tried my best. I know that I have been saying this more often, but I really did try my best.I tried mu best to stay away from her. My little green flower.I tried to stop thinking about her. I tried to burry myself in work, I tried to over workout and when that didn't work, I tried going for a long run.But no matter what I did or what I tried to think about, my mind would constantly return to her.The way she'd looked at me with curiosity, the way she tried to help pop my dislocated shoulder back in its place, the way her fingers brushed through the strands of my hair, the way her cheeks flushed as she looked at my wolf's ears...Each expression that passed across her face and each movement of her body was burned in to my brain, constantly popping up the entire day as I tried to work.What I had actually thought was the entire day turned out to be just a few hours in the morning.But my goal to avoid thinking about her had came crumbling down when my inform
Mina Wolf...I stared at Raphael, my heart thundering in my chest.He looked down at me through the bars, slowly stepping closer to the door.He looked a bit hesitant as he reached for the key he'd tied on a string and wore around his neck.But after he took it off of his neck, he didn't hesitate to push the key in to the key hole and turn the lock before he pushed the door open.The silence was broken by the squeal of the door and his footsteps as he stepped in to my cell.The thought of what he wanted to say or do made my mind run a million miles per hour. I'd spent the day thinking about him and now, here he stood in front of me, not in his half shifted form as he was the previous night, but in his human form, all Six foot something glory and his handsome features magnified under the soft glow of the moon that stretched from the tiny window.No matter how much I tried to predict his move, I did not expect him to step closer to me and lower himself in my bed, sitting with his
I'm back to carrying logs from the woods by the two silver poles to the back of the main pack house.This morning I woke up to find Megan standing in front of my cell.She'd she'd stood outside of my cell, just staring at me for a few seconds in total silence.She had really creeped me out. Once she was done staring in to my sole, she unlocked the door of my cell and stepped in.She threw a black plastic bag on my bed and pressed her back against the closed door to watch me eat.The solence was heavy and uncomfortable as I ate my breakfast. Megan kep staring at me without blinking once.Once I was done with my breakfast, I followed Megan out of the dungeons and we walked in an awkward silence as the people of the pack stared at us, mostly me, like they always do each morning.When we reached the main pack house, Megan led me to the bathroom and left to get me a fresh dress.As I was in the shower, I'd heard her walk in to place the dress on the counter by the sink, but unlike Beatri
Raphael Stars...I was in the warehouse with Silver and Maxwell, interrogating the two drivers we had caught trying to deliver dead animals and shifter to Landor's rouge territory.The drivers, who we found our are named Lin and Mortise from my i formant, didn't want to give us anything at the beginning. But with a little persuasion and a timely torture, they were able to spill everything out.Everything my informant told me was true.Haden and Landor were working with each other to take me down and the only things Landor asked for was food.Without the trucks, Landor and his rouge wolves would starve to the point of extreme exhaustion that will make then ten times more vulnerable.The only reason Landor wanted to work with Haden was because he believed I humiliated him by protecting a woman who took one of his eyes. I hear the ugly bastard is even more terrifying with an eye patch.But I still didn't believe that Landor would risk the safety of his rouge pack by attacking me
I sat in my office, trying to listen to the report Kalven and Maxwell were giving me and the rest of the wolves gathered. But my mind kept taking me back to the dungeons, specifically, to that one cell I couldn't stop thinking about.The image of her covered in her own blood kept popping in to my head, distracting me from the meeting.It has been a full day since the attack. The previous day and the whole of this morning doing damage control.The rouges had tried burning houses and the fields our in pack farmers farm on. We had to dig several graves for the dead and took turns watching the injured in the hospital since someone near us killed Mike. It could happen again and I was trying to stop it from happening.All I wanted to do was go see how my little green flower was doing, if she was holding up fine, if she had finally healed...But I remained string and became the present Alpha that my people need me to be.Because I couldn't be near her at the moment, I had sent Silver to loo
Mina Wolf...Raphael looked down at me from where he stood, keeping his blue eyes on mine.I stayed tense, waiting for him to give me a reply.I honestly don't know how I got the courage to ask him to say. I really didn't want to be alone.While I was sleeping, I had pelt presence around me, like there were multiple people at one time and then one person alone with mw in my cell.The entire day, I kept my eyes closed and tried to sleep the pain away.But when all the presence left and I was the only one left in the cell, chill ran up and down my entire body, forcing me to wake up.The sight of my empty cell bothered me, which was why I had settled for planting my eyes on the small window at the top corner of my cell, trying to imagine myself anywhere but here.I let out a silent sigh and looked down my hands when I realized that he wasn't going to stay.It was stupid of me to ask to begin with. What was I thinking?I was about to lay back down on my unexpectedly larger bed whe
Raphael Stars...I lied.I freaking lied.It was one of the things I was thinking about as I gently moved my lips over Zinnia's.My little green flower was tense, yet I felt her lips move against mine, kissing me back.I couldn't believe what I was doing, kissing the daughter of my enemy, the same daughter I'd swore to torture for the things her father did to me.But even knowing who I was kissing, hate was the last thing on my mind.With each second I spent this close to her, all the pain that was weighing on my shoulder was slowly getting lifted off.I needed more of her. This woman was driving me insane and I knew she was going to be the death of me.Even knowing so, I tried to deepen the kiss, trying to steal her breath.But Zinnia lets out a small gasp and pulled away from me as if I'd burned her.The look on her face was a pure guilt, guilt for kissing me back.I get it. She has a mate out there and no matter how unfaithful he is to her, she would still fill guilt for let
Mina Wolf...I laid in bed, looking up at the ceiling.I couldn't close my eyes and go to sleep without thinking about my captor and how it felt to have his lips pressed against mine.The amount of guilt I felt for letting Raphael kiss me and for kissing him back was unimaginable.For a few seconds, I was overwhelmed by the warmth that spread through my chest. But I was soon reminded of the pain that I felt when Mika was with another woman and he cheated on me.The thought of causing him that pain tore at me. I already know that Mika doesn't deserve anything from me after he degraded our relationship by cheating on me after I was kidnapped for only two days. But I couldn't help it.No matter how much I wanted to enjoy Raphael's sudden attention, I couldn't stop thinking about the pain I was causing my mate. Which was why I forced myself to pull away from Raphael.As I was walking back to the dungeons, I could feel him walking behind me in a safe distance. No matter how much I
