Realization dawned on his face. He stared at her with his mouth agape before irritation swept through his features."Stop being jealous of Alyssia. It doesn't suit you," his eyes narrowed in disapproval as he admonished her. His comment caused her temper to flare up. Her face hardened. "And it suits you? You can beat Dustin out of jealousy but I can't even raise a question? Some double standards you have. For your information, I wasn't jealous. I just raised a valid question. If you don't have an answer to it that's fine. I don't need an answer anyway. I already know," she stammered with rage. Ridges of his neck became dangerously pronounced as he stepped forward, looming in on her. "No," his voice had deepened with anger. She felt a stab of fear. His face had darkened with fury and his two eyes were flaming. "I did not tell her this. I did not because I don't care about her. She is not my mate nor do I care who she sleeps with," saying that, he gripped her jaw in a tight hold, f

She collected her gown and got down from the car. Her eyes lit up with admiration when she turned her face to the garden. The venue resembled a piece of heaven on earth. The exquisitely put fairy lights had chased off the darkness and brightened the night. But the man-made light didn't match with the glow of the moon shining above. The sky was illuminated with its soft glow. Love was in the air. It sailed through the wind and rained down the sky. How could anyone not fall in love today? "Whoa.. I had not expected for it to look this good," Dustin spoke from beside her, silently wishing she was here. "Let's get in," he added. Sienna looked over at him and gave a nod. They walked into the garden which was already full of mates. Everyone had dressed in their best. Wolves from all over the world had arrived to officiate their mate bond. She recognized some alphas who had engaged with the alpha King in the past. Her gaze swept through the crowd in search of that one person who'd been occ

"We will discuss more of it tomorrow," Martin glanced at his watch before sweeping his gaze through the crowd of students. He offered everyone an easy smile, causing girls to swoon over. "Now we will take questions" he encouraged the students. A girl rose her hand. Martin motioned for her to ask the question. The girl stood up. "Do you have a mate, Mr. Denver?" the girl leaned over her desk and asked while batting her lashes at him. " I can't see how it is pertinent to the lesson but to answer your question, no. I don't have a mate," he answered in an even tone. A slow smile played on the girl's lips as she sat back in her chair. Martin zoomed out on all the students and told them to leave as the class had ended. Everyone picked up their book and filed out the class one by one. The girls didn't forget to fling a smile at him before marching out the door. Sienna also collected her stuff and was about to leave when Denver stopped her. "Miss. Harrison, I would like to have a word with

Sienna frowned when she saw his message. "Not him again," she sighed out while dropping her shoulders.Azriel was behaving like a bipolar. She was tired of this constant pull and push. This stupid bond was not helping either. Why does she have to turn in a putty every time he touches her? Damn this bond.But was it really the bond? The time they had spent in the forest had changed her opinion of him. She had witnessed his softer side during the journey. His caring attitude and charming smile had caused a major shift in her heart even before he marked her.She was bearing the mark of her bully.She traded her shorts for a pair of jeans and headed out to meet him. The weather was chillier than usual. She dipped her hands in her jeans pocket and made her way toward the pond. She didn't want to meet him. She knew why he had asked her to. He was going to tell her off for talking back to Louis. It was because of her he had to fight him. The first ever rift in The Imperials. She was positi

"What?" that's all her lips could manage to form. He had caught her by surprise with his unexpected confession. Instead of replying in words, he reached up and gripped her hands. She watched him in a daze as he brought her hands to his lips and placed a deep kiss on the back of her hands, looking intensely into her eyes. Her fragile heart fluttered crazily. "Fight me but never walk away from me,' his voice heavy with emotions. If she was tongue-tied before, now she was completely stunned. There was a vulnerability in his eyes. She had never seen a flicker of pain in those steely orbs before but today they were flooded with it. She pulled her hands from his hold and cupped his face. Her heart was aching with sympathy for this bully of hers."What's wrong?" she urged softly. Seeing him sad was making her sad too. "I feel lonely," he told her truthfully. Her heart broke into million pieces. He was surrounded by people all the time but he still felt lonely. He was lonely since his
