[Rosalie’s POV]“Uh… Chanel.”I look up at the woman who holds me against her body as she sits on a fluffy white couch with her legs crossed. In the beginning, I realized the difference in our sizes, but with her holding me like this, I truly felt like a child.“Could you maybe...”“No,” she snaps, tightening her hold. “I’ve already said this, but forget that big broody asshole and become mine.”“But…” I begin, trying not to remember the few times I walked in on them being intimate.Honestly, the way she was acting right now still didn’t make sense to me, but I guess you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.“Aren’t you and Diego... You know...”“What?” Chanel asks, giving me a curious look. “Aren’t we what?”“A couple.”As the words leave my lips, a bark of laughter escapes Chanel, causing me to jump.“A couple.” She repeats between puffs. “Me and that unpleasant fella?”“Then what…” I begin flushing. “You seem to be the only woman he actually treats nicely.”“That’s because we are ch
[Diego’s POV]I stare into Rosalie’s eyes while she processes what it is that I have just told her. I have to admit, her bewildered expression is adorable, and I can’t help but want to see even more expressions from the tiny creature in front of me.As I continue to stare, I can feel my lycan beginning to stir, and that unexplainable draw that I’ve begun to feel starts to bubble up.“If you don’t say something, I’m going to kiss you.” I warn her, leaning in so close that her breath tickles my skin.Eyes widening, she brings her hands to her lips, and I let out a laugh before straightening out.“You didn’t have to reject me so openly.” I sigh, looking towards the door. “I’ll leave you alone to process for a bit. I’ve got something to do.”Nodding, Rosalie doesn’t speak as I give her one last look of longing before beginning to move.Once I’m outside, I let out a breath while wondering what in the hell I’ve gotten myself into. However, I didn’t have time to dwell on this, not when there
[Diego’s POV]The next morning, I make my way toward Kate’s hut, and with satisfaction, I take in how empty it is. Good. She took me seriously, and now I just had to wait to see if she actually blabbed to our fathers about my intentions with Rosalie.Turning, I slam the door shut and make my way onto the street, where the villagers are going about their day. Their eyes follow me as I pass, but I don’t stop. Instead, I head straight for the hut that Chanel is occupying and bang on the door.“What is it?” She growls, appearing with a severe case of bedhead and in nothing but a t-shirt. “What the hell do you want so early in the morning?”“It isn’t morning anymore.” I point out, eyeing her curiously. “Why are you wasting time sleeping in so late?”“Why?” She repeats, looking at me as if I’m stupid. “You know damn well what will happen tonight. I was getting my beauty sleep since I won’t be getting any sleep tonight.”“And who are you planning on visiting to help you with that?” I counter
[Diego’s POV]I only give a smile at Chanel’s words. There was no telling how things would go when I returned home. I was sure that my father would be against my choice to dissolve the engagement between Kate and me, but even then, I wouldn’t go along with it. Once that issue was solved, I would slowly win over Rosalie’s affection.“You’re already whipped.” Chanel giggles. “Look at you trying to be good and not give into the heat that is coming all for one woman.”“Shut up.” I snap, taking my position against the trunk of the tree I chose to use. “Just go ahead and do what I brought you here to do. Once you’re finished, you should get back and prepare yourself as well, unless..."“Not gonna happen.” Chanel sighs, catching on to exactly what I meant. “He doesn’t see me as anything more than a past student.”Nodding, I feel a bit of sympathy for her. Since we were training under Anthrose, I knew that Chanel had a thing for him, but due to their age difference and his sense of duty, he w
[Rosalie’s POV]I scoot a little closer to Diego as he lets a growl rip from his chest, but despite his protests about me being near, he doesn’t move to hurt me.“See,” I murmur, reaching out and touching his cheek while a groan escapes his lips and his eyes roll into the back of his head. “You aren’t going to hurt me.”Moving ever closer, I wrap my arms around him. Holding him against me while he fights whatever it is that wants him to attack me.I knew that during the blood moon his pack lost their minds and became almost feral, but even despite that, and despite being a lycan, one of the creatures that feels much more and whose instincts are much sharper, he continues to not do anything to hurt me.Pulling back, I stare into Diego’s red eyes while he watches me with an unreadable expression. Instantly, I remember him attempting to touch me intimately and my reaction, but now that I was thinking rationally, I couldn’t quite understand why I would feel a bit of fear when it came to t
[Diego’s POV]Warm sunlight presses against my skin, rousing me from a dreamless sleep. Groaning, I attempt to move but stop as chains bite into my skin.“What?” I hiss, snapping my eyes open so I can begin to take in the area around me. “What the fuck is happening?”As I speak, I look down at the silver chains that are tied tightly around my body. Immediately, memories of the day before and my request come back to me.“Right.” I huff, beginning to relax but stopping as I feel something soft and warm on my lap. “What?”Frowning, I look further down, and my eyes widen as I take in Rosalie’s sleeping form. If it wasn’t shocking enough that she was with me, the memories that start to flood into me leave me unable to quite believe what happened during the evening while the heat was consuming me.“Rosalie,” I breathe, wanting to reach out and touch her cheek. “Why did you...”“Mmmm.”I stop speaking as Rosalie begins to stir, and when she lifts her sleepy gaze to mine, a slow smile spreads
[Rosalie’s POV]My body is hot, and it isn’t just from the steaming water that surrounds me. When Diego said that he was taking me back so that I could get clean, I didn’t know this was what he meant.Trying to keep my heart from hammering out of my chest, I take in either of Diego’s large legs, which sit on either side of my body. Although I have seen the man in action with multiple women, and I even did… that… for him the previous night, to be sitting here so intimately with him was a whole new experience.“You don’t have to be so tense.” Diego murmurs, causing my cheeks to flush red. “I’m not going to do anything. At least, nothing that you don’t want me to do.”Eyes widening, I whirl around to take in his expression, which is filled with amusement. It is so different from his usual mask of indifference that, for a moment, I’m unable to say anything.“I swore to you that I wouldn’t do anything unless you asked me.” He continues. “And if I am anything, it is a man of my word.”Nothi
[Rosalie’s POV]My eyes grow wide as shock rolls through me over what Diego has just told me. He only fucked a woman’s pussy when he intended to let them carry his baby. Did that mean that he thought I was the one who would do that for him?“What?” He asks, his eyes flashing with amusement. “Why do you look so surprised?”“I’m just…” How could I possibly explain what I was feeling? “I’m not worthy.”“Only I get to determine who is worthy.” He growls, pressing his lips against mine. “Do you understand?”Nodding, I don’t say anything more as he finishes washing my body and then helps me out of the tub so he can dry me and dress me.Once I’m presentable, he leads me out of our hut to find that there is a car waiting. When I look inside, I see that Chanel and Anthrose are already inside.“You go ahead first.” Diego announces, helping me in so that Chanel can cuddle me. “I’ve got a few more things to take care of here.”“What?” I squeak, fear rushing through me. “But…”“You’ll be fine.” Di
