I instinctively move into him to pat his shoulder. At that moment, I don't know if I should be embarrassed about what everyone just heard or be worried that Rakel is now consumed with jealousy.  Oh, God, what should I do now? Deciding to use the only method I could think of, I began speaking to him in a hushed tone. "Now, now, calm down you big wolfy. Don't you think it's time to feed your... mate?" I asked, cringing mentally at the word. Just like that, the anger vanished, he faced me with a frown "Big what?""You heard me, I'm hungry!" I said, fully knowing he wanted me to repeat the 'wolfy' part. "Haven't you eaten today? I thought you cooked."I shrugged and glanced down at my fingers, "I did, but that's for your guards. Furthermore, I don't like eating so early in the morning, now are you going to feed me or should I go find Mira?" He leans towards me "You know, there's another part of my body that is very, big actually,

He decided to try something else by licking her legs, that did it because she instantly turned and froze. Her jaw hung open in a silent scream, her face paled in terror.Ryder kept changing 'Please don't scream, please don't scream in my head making me roll my eyes, I also held my breath, waiting for what she would do next. Ryder then decided to lie on the ground while staring up at her till she regains her senses, that way, he wouldn't look so intimidating. She finally closed her mouth, took a deep breath, and stared at Ryder curiously and cautiously. “Rakel, is that you?" She shook her head, “no, you're Ryder, hello Ryder.”Ryder got up and began rubbing his body over his, purring at the closeness of his mate. Delaney swallowed, “Umm, I'll take that as your Hi I guess.”She tentatively reaches out to touch him, causing Ryder to purr loudly, she took that as an encouragement to continue, soon I didn't smel

Have you ever been in a situation where you are mad at the whole world? You feel like the whole world is against you, feel so helpless to do anything while someone controls you here and there, you'll only just get to watch and bear the ache? That's exactly what I'm feeling right now. I was hungry, tired, my eyes are swollen from crying, my hands were aching from being bound like a slave, and to top it all, I'm being punished for something I have no control over. Is it my fault for being the way I am? For being an addict? I'm tired of having controlling men in my life, first my stepdad, Knox, and now, Rakel? I've heard enough! I can't let this continue, or I might lose my mind in here. I stayed bounded till it was mid-afternoon while going over many things in my head at the same time. First, I went over what happened between us this morning and last night, how Rakel reacted to everything. I realize all Rakel cares about for me to obey his rules then wait for Knox mark to wear off, so

Delaney's POV“We are leaving,” Knox announced, taking my other hand. The only thing I could think of at that moment was ‘Uh oh I know it wouldn't end well because Rakel has jealousy issues, especially when he is already so worked up. I could tell this from the way his hand tightened around my hand, so tight that I hissed loudly, drawing both their attention to me. When Knox saw the red marks on my hand, ones I got from the handcuffs, he finally lost his usual cool, “What the hell did you do to her?”“I should be asking you that, why did she leave you in the first place? You must be dreaming if you think I'll let her leave with you.” Rakel growled and then they began quarreling. Knox would jerk me towards him, barking words at Rakel while Rakel would jerk me back to him till Knox suddenly shut up. His eye color change to red, his fangs also elongated, he then lean towards the red marks on my hand. My h

Delaney's POV   The ride home was long, I don't know how long Asher drove, we stopped occasionally to rest and also for snacks, at some point, I slept off. I wonder why Asher won't book a flight if the journey will be this far, he immediately declined the topic the moment I brought it up. A tap on my show woke me up, “Hey, we are here.” My eyes fluttered open to see Asher hovering over me, when his words registered in my head, I sat up straight immediately glancing around noting that it's already so late in the evening. Seeing my crappy house, my eyes lit up in excitement, ‘Home! I'm finally home!’ but wait, how did Asher know about it? I never mentioned it to him. “I have my ways' sweetheart.” he answered my unsaid question, “do you want me to come in?” I paused, do I want to let him into my house? Definitely not, he'd see the pitiful kind of life I'm living “No need, I'll be fine.” I answered, getting out of the car. Asher hande
