CRYSTAL"Your eyes are all swollen," John says as he cups my face and wipes my tears with his thumb. "Why the tears, hmm?" he sighed heavily. "After I stormed out yesterday, I realised I was such a fool. You've been waiting diligently for me, wanting me all this time and I just walked out. I hope you can forgive me, love." his eyes are sad and he rests his forehead on mine."I was so worried when I got back after a few minutes and you were already fast asleep. I called a doctor but he's human so I-""You called a doctor? Which doctor?" I haven't had another doctor touch me in all my life. If my family gets a hold of that one, I'm doomed. "D-Did he draw my blood? What tests did he do?"John doesn't look half as worried as I do. He's the one who's possibly going to die if word gets out."No. He just checked your pulse, that's all," he pouts as I heave a sigh. "Is something wrong?"I must've acted too worried and scared for him to look at me with such suspicion, "N-Nothing at all," I lean
CRYSTAL"Get out!" I scream with my eyes shut, pushing John off me and pulling my skirt down to hide my ass."What the-- Crystal what the fuck!" John almost yells back in shock but when I open my eyes again, Silver is nowhere to be seen.I can still smell him. No doubt, he didn't go far. John is staring at me like I'm a mad woman while he fixes his already hard dick back into his pants.I hurry to the kitchen and take a quick look around but he's vanished like he wasn't even there. How the fuck did he get in? I wasn't imagining things! I saw him! I heard his voice-- Fuck! I can still smell his pheromones and it's making me pant.I'm no pervert but I'm even more turned on than before. I know it's his scent commanding so much out of me-"Crystal!" John grabs me by the arm and whirls me around to glare in my face. "What the fuck was all that about?"I can't bring myself to focus on him as my thoughts are all over the place. I'm scanning the kitchen again, making sure I didn’t miss a spot-
CRYSTALWhy… Why didn't it work?It's supposed to work. That's how rejection works. I read the books so long ago- history couldn't have changed now, could it?His hand is warm on my cheek and it's heating my body up. When I notice him again, his face is already so close with his eyes on my lips and it's easy to tell what he's thinking."You can't run from me," he leans even further and I slam my hand on his chest, trying to push him off but he's more steel than man as he doesn't budge."Let me go," I whisper and tears roll down my cheek. I'm terrified, creeped out and backed up against a wall here. I want nothing to do with him yet it feels like my strong will is nothing when it's up against fate."I don't want this," I whisper. "Please let me go-"But his response is his scent becoming stronger, making my knees quiver as I drown in the ecstatic feeling that fuels my wolf and plunges me into a sexual feeling that my cries and pleas now turn into something else.I'm no longer begging t
CRYSTALI awake suddenly with a fever and a burning sensation on certain parts of my body like he had been holding me up until he left.The room has never felt so large before and the silence is deafening, echoing back to me. I look around for signs of him but he's long gone-- judging by his scent. It's not as strong but it is there.Quickly, I jump out of bed and my eyes fall on the nightstand. My favourite picture is lying there without the glass- Oh!He cleaned up after leaving… and cleaned me up too, it seems.I'm now in my pyjamas and it's not even sundown.If he changed me then that means… that perverted man took the pleasure in seeing me naked!My cheeks burn at the thought and I force a frown, this is not something to blush over.I start by cleaning the bedroom, washing the floor, changing the sheets then spraying some air freshener into the air to get rid of his scent after inhaling chunks of it.Since my body is still burning, I take my suppressants, praying it'll work to cal
CRYSTALA threat as strong as that didn't leave my head for the whole day but when Simone and Mike called, telling me the good news, I sobered up for a while and put on a smile at their place.It's a full house by the time I get there. I didn’t expect the party to be this big and on such short notice too. I mean they only just found out, how come their In-laws are everywhere."Crystal!" Simone calls and hurries to me, her brown dreadlocks is flowing in the afternoon wind and her white jumpsuit only makes her look very pretty.She pulls me into a hug and I can see her excitement rolling down her back, "I'm so glad you could make it.""Congratulations, Simone. I'm so happy for you!" I hugged her back. The news of her baby is one she's been expecting for quite a long time now."Thank you. You had to see how Mike froze up when the doctor told us," she throws her head back and laughs. "It was iconic! Goddamn! I wish I had that on camera!"I can only imagine. I know they would make good pare
CRYSTAL"I don't know why you keep going back there. Just get a fucking job or something to keep yourself busy. Take a cooking class or start knitting, that's something," John whines later on, mumbling to himself when he clearly knows I can hear him.My listening abilities now feel like a curse.His whines are giving me such a headache that I want to jump down from the car right now, not caring if it's still moving or not.I'll survive the crash and even heal while I'm at it. It'll be like nothing ever happened."What did you go there for this time, huh? After pushing me off like I'm some stranger, you go to a party?" he scoffed, rolling his eyes."She just threw a party to announce her pregnancy," I say."She's having a baby?" he scoffs. "What does she even know about that? Isn't Mike some struggling teenager?"I snap my head to him, "Mike works at a bank and Simone is the head of the marketing team at a big company and he's not some teenager. He's the same age as you.""Wow! Look at
SILVER-We should go back there. Astro says gently and I stare hard at the glass, building up her image in my head.-I don't feel comfortable leaving her there.Of course you don't. I couldn't agree more.-You think he's bad news too, right?Yes, yes.-No one should know how good our mate moans and how sweet she tastes.…I like that we agree on that.I'm picking up my glass of wine with a smile, thinking how my beast and I are one and the same."Penny for your thoughts, dear?" my mother asks, drawing my attention back on the table. "What is it?" her curiosity grows stronger and I know she's not dropping it till she gets an earful."Thinking about the wedding," I shrug."Ouh!" she's smiling and sitting up straight, wiping her mouth with a napkin. "I never thought I'd see the day you'll bring up a wedding first."I turn to her, "Even after you set me up for this?"She rolls her eyes, "Don’t be dramatic, my love. I foresaw your stubbornness and I saved you from ending up alone by thirty
CRYSTAL"Where.. He is right now," I repeat the words with a nervous beat of my heart as I search Silver's face. Why would he ask me that?Did he go to the house first and saw John leave or was he insinuating that John wasn't home right now-"I wonder… if you know," Silver continues with his detective eye putting me on guard. "You know, don't you?"John… not home… I know?Is he… is he referring to that?My eyes are going wide and I stare with every fibre of my being in shock of his words. I suddenly feel like shrinking and disappearing into the ground.His eyes study my face and I try my hardest not to look suspicious when in fact, I want to bury my head somewhere and never show my face ever again."Really? That's surprising, Crystal," he sighs. "You don't look so good playing the fool," he rolls his eyes and a wave of irritation surges through me.He snooped around, didn't he? He followed us and tried to find a weakness in my marriage to use against me -- How shallow of him! If he th
