We walked about a hundred meters when he stopped in front of a house similar to Alphas. I ran inside and took a long deep breath."Addy, is that you?" I heard Layla's voice."I can't even taunt you like you used to taunt your mom. I don't have any scent," I said and followed the direction from which her voice came and found myself in the kitchen. Ellon was on the stove and cooking something while Mia was cutting vegetables, and Layla was... well, Layla was sitting and drinking beer."Here bitch, want some beer," she asked me, and I rolled my eyes."Why are you even drinking something when it doesn't affect you?" I said to her and looked at Ellon, who was cooking. "Matt told me that you are making lunch for us," I told her, and she huffed, "and where is dee?""Well, dee played a few games with Ellon, and he found them very interesting, so he is busy in that, and I am not cooking only because of this man, who is, unfortunately, my mate. He is extremely picky about his food. His meat shou
When I finally woke up from the nightmare, I felt like my lungs were burning from lack of oxygen. I threw the blankets from me, ran towards the window, and opened it. I tried to take deep breaths but instead started feeling dizzy. I closed my eyes and put my hand on my chest, which was beating painfully fast. "It's just a nightmare, Aadhya. There was nothing real in it," I whispered and tried to come to proper senses again, but when black dots started dancing in front of my eyes, I opened my eyes and instantly my eyes turned towards Alpha's balcony, which is a very good distance away but thanks to my werewolf senses that I can see him clearly standing there. His eyes are closed, and his hands are stuffed in his pockets. He is wearing a black lower and white tank top. His shoulder-length hair is wet, and tiny water droplets are dripping from them on his broad shoulders. No matter how much his beard or bulky body screams that he is a hard, strong, and rude man but the peaceful expressi
He didn't have to ask me to breathe again as I automatically started breathing hungrily. He took a step backward after a few minutes, but I clutched his shirt, pulled him towards me, and continued smelling him. My bliss ended when suddenly the scent was gone. I opened my eyes and tried to sniff him more but found nothing. "Are you alright, Aadhya?" he asked me. I don't know why but tears welled up in my eyes, and my lower lip trembled. "I am unable to smell that '' I told him like a five-year-old, but I have no shame in accepting that because I wanted to smell that scent. He looked at me with concentration for a few minutes and then slowly removed my hands from his shirt and took a step backward. "Sorry, I should not have asked about something without knowing its effect," he apologized and again went towards the bench, "and sorry for the scent. I did the best I could think at that time," he said, and finally I understood what that scent was... {you should stay far from that scent un
I can feel the volcano of emotions bursting within me - anger, jealousy, possessiveness, irritation, pain, betrayal, and some that I can't even know, but I do know one thing very clearly, and that is... I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING IN THIS CASE... {why don't I have a right? I am his mate. She is the one who doesn't have any right and is clinging on to him} ... I shook my head to remove these thoughts and tightened the hold around Dee's hand. I looked at Alpha, who still had stern expressions, but I could see a little softness in his eyes. "Behave, Lily," he suddenly said sternly, but she didn't even flinch. She started sobbing more loudly and clutched him harder. "I love you, Ryan, don't send me back," she said while sobbing... {Can I go somewhere?} "Don't make me use my authority over you, Lily," he said in a deadly calm voice, making me question his relationship with her. The way she is clutching him or expressing her love clearly shows that she had been in a romantic re
I cursed under my breath, and my eyes landed on the source of that squeaky shriek. A man is standing there with a shocked expression on his face. I stood from the ground and grumpily said sorry to him. I was about to cross him when he came and stood before me. I looked at him and knew he was also a werewolf by his build and smell. I cocked an eyebrow towards him, and an arrogant smirk came on his lips. "If I knew that nowadays beautiful girls have started falling from trees instead of fruits, then I would have built a treehouse on every tree of the crescent moon pack," he said while smirking and checking me out. I looked at him dumbfounded, and he looked at me as if expecting some reply... {Do I need to reply?} ... I asked myself and finally decided to ignore him and walk away. I was about to cross him when he grabbed my wrist, and by instinct, I flipped his hand, took hold of his wrist, and twisted it around his back while I put my left hand on his shoulder and kicked his legs, and h
Ryan's POV - "But..." before she asked me more, I dragged her out of the house and started walking towards the woods. "Have you ridden the wolf earlier?" I asked her, and when she didn't reply, I looked at her and found her nodding her head... "damn woman, use words." {Oh, come on, she is cute, dude} "Yeah," she told me, but suddenly the feeling of jealousy surged in me... {who had she ridden before?} ... I took deep breaths to calm myself, and as soon as we reached the edge of the woods, I turned toward her. "Well, we are in a hurry now, but you are going to tell me in detail which wolf you have ridden earlier," I said to her in a calm yet threatening voice, and she nodded casually... {she seriously needs to get scared of me.... at least a little} ... I transformed into my wolf 'king' and looked at her. "I know you are wealthy and all, but there is no need to tear your expensive clothes like that," she scolded the king, and he rolled his eyes... {she seriously has bad timing} ...
"That's my theory. As far as I know, Amara believes that I died two years ago in the attack that she had planned. So, I don't think she has any reason to target Aadhya," she concluded, and this made me worry more. None of us said anything for a few minutes as all three of us were tangled in our thoughts, but finally, Aadhya broke the silence. "I need to ask you something, gramma" Shira looked at her and nodded "what is my age?" as soon as Aadhya asked this, I saw shock clouding Shira's eyes, but she covered it within a second, "Amara told us that you cured Ryan and me, but how can you treat both of us at the same time, we have a seven-year age difference in us." Shira looked startled for a few minutes, but soon she took a shaky breath and turned her chair completely towards Aadhya. "I am not going to lie this time, Aadhya. You deserve to know the truth" she closed her eyes and continued, "After curing Ryan and spending time with Amara, I felt that something was wrong with her, but I
As soon as we entered the dungeons, the familiar smell of blood, silver, and wolfsbane invaded my nose. I looked at aadhya, who had blank expressions on her face, but the fury in her eyes was hard to ignore. I can't even blame her for getting mad or feeling hatred toward Amara... {If I had been in her place, then I would surely have become insane from anger by now.} "Don't kill her, babe," I tried to ease the tension. "You can't use mate bond to lessen my fury," she said and looked at me. I rubbed the back of my neck in nervousness... {don't act nervous in front of her} ... "Well, dad used to use this technique on mom, and it always worked on her," I explained to her, and she took a deep calming breath. "We don't have the same relationship as theirs," she pointed out, and it actually hurts. "A guy can try," I muttered, but she heard it clearly. "Listen, Ryan; I don't want to act bitchy with you, but..." I put my hand on her mouth before she completed her sentence... {maybe my tou
