Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. I didn’t know if I was dreaming or saying what I wanted, but I woke up to find myself chanting Richard's name. I found Richard on me, straddling me, his large hands pinning mine down, probably trying to prevent me from doing something regrettable. I began to shake under him, struggling to escape his grasp. In my struggle, my eyes met the mirror on the wall, and I was shocked to see my reflection. I was unrecognizable. My eyes were bloodshot and my canines were all out, sharp, and pointy. I was completely naked under him. Then I remember that today was the second-to-last day of the heat, and that the last days of heat are usually the worst. "Shit! You are burning up." Richard exclaimed as he placed his hands on my head. He stretched out his hand toward the bedside table to retrieve the bowl of water, then started applying it to me with a towel. "We have to mate, Isabel. You are in pain, and I can't stand seeing you like this. Besides, it is boun

We were so lost in our world, focusing on ourselves, that we didn't know that everyone was watching us, some with curiosity and others with confusion. The whole dinner was silent as everyone was watching your interactions with wary eyes, wondering what was happening. I glanced up to face the pack, but one particular set of eyes caught me. It was Harry. Shit! I forgot about him. I was yet to thank him for his help during my heat. I tried to signal him with my eyes that we would talk later, but he was looking at me like someone stole his puppy. Richard stilled when he noticed that everyone was looking at him, waiting for some sort of explanation. He took a sip of the water in front of him, pushed back his chair, and stood up. He extended his hands to me, and I took them, not knowing why he wanted me to take his hands. He pulled me to a standing position and cleared his throat. Now all eyes were on him, waiting for his next move. "I know you're all curious about this beautiful lady sta

The soft rays of the morning sun woke me up; the birds chirped quietly in their trees, ignoring us. The crash of the water on the rocks indicated that we were still at the waterfall. Wait... Did we fall asleep here? My mind was still in jumbles and in a sleep-state, so I couldn't remember what exactly happened. I turned to my side, and there was Richard sleeping without care. My legs were all over Richard. Somehow, we had gotten all tangled up in the night. I tapped Richard on his back, urging him to wake up, but he refused. Instead, he snuggled towards me, his mouth on my neck. I could feel his hot breath on my neck, the site that would bear his mark, and it was making me all bothered. "Richard! Wake up, it is morning and we have a lot to do." I tapped him again, much harder than before. "No..oo." He whined like a little child, "I want to stay with you." He snuggled into me so tight I was pretty sure he was trying to fuse with me. "Nice try, handsome. But that isn't going to

Ava led me to the garage, where a fleet of cars had been packed. She selected a red sports car with an open roof, and we got in. She turned the ignition and zoomed off. Laughter filled the car as we sped along the smooth path. I soon found out that Ava wasn't the best driver, and I was on the edge of my seat, clutching the door handle for support. She must have had a track record, because pack members scampered in a hurry when they noticed it was Ava behind the wheels. I pray to the Goddess to let me survive the ride because, the way it is going, I might die young with my virginity still intact. I looked to my sides and saw Ava giggling; she was the only one having a good time on this crazy ride. "Woo!!! I love this shit!" Ava screamed into the air as we sped down the highway. Other drivers were looking at her in disgust, trying to ignore the crazy lady. She was blasting her favorite band on the radio, and she tried to sing along with them with her horrible voice. She had me laugh

"Rachel, this is Isabella. She is the Alpha's mate." Ava replied, gesturing to me. She came over and gave me a crushing hug, smothering me before she released me from her chokehold. "I have been hearing a lot of rumors about you, but they made a terrible mistake by omitting your beauty." "It is a pleasure to meet you, ma'am." I replied as she showered me with compliments. "Don't be silly, child. Call me Rachel, ma'am makes me feel so old." "Alright ma'am, I mean Rachel." They both laughed at my expense. It would be hard to start calling elderly people by their names, because we don't do that back at home. "You two can have your seats while I prepare something. That little rascal had me so busy that I couldn't cook. Please don't mind the state of the house." "Thank you, but I will have to reject your offer. We already had street food, and if we have anymore, I will puke. Besides, it is already getting late." The sun was going down, and I didn't want Richard to get worried. "
