I was excited to see him as well. He seemed more muscular and handsome than the last time I saw him. He has grown well. ‘`Thanks for coming to pick me up at the airport even though you said you were tired and jetlagged.’ He appreciated me as he tapped my shoulder. “I just felt like walking around California since I just came back from the cold winter in England, my furs it’s been screaming for some warmth,” I confessed. Yeah, that’s right. So cold. My wolf agreed with me. “Yeah, wouldn’t you warm your bed with a woman if you felt so cold?’ He teased me. “Carmine.’ I cautioned. I felt embarrassed. He was so loud. He laughed. “You changed while you were in England. I see it in you.” “Yeah, I just shifted into my wolf's form alone and it was amazing doing it. I missed the pack though and the full moon there. I could howl as much as I wanted,” I admitted. “Yeah, me too, we can’t do that in abroad, that’s why we have a fucking pack here to do whatever we want.” He agreed. “Have y

“You’ve begun smoking, haven’t you? I thought you’d stopped because Oceana hates it.” He smelled cigarettes on me. Damn, his nose is as sharp as always. When I was back at the clan years ago, Oceana had once caught me smoking heavily at the backyard of the mansion, complaining that she dislikes seeing me smoke and she would like me to stop. She was quite cute back then. Her expression softened my heart, so I quit doing it. However, recently I picked up the habit again. I tried to stop smoking, but I still can’t get rid of it. “Carmine,” I spoke. “Just stop. Can you just pretend that you know nothing? Leave me alone,” I warned. I don’t want to think of Oceana right now. “Are you scared of the truth?" “Carmine,” I shouted. The people at the restaurant all started in our direction. “You’ve always been scared. Till now you haven’t called for the past eight fucking years. I know you fucking miss her so much you wanna scream. Cut me the bullshit, man.” “How am I like now?’ He shrugg

This is madness and I think it’s a bad idea to go to the clan. No, I should stay here and not go anymore. I grabbed my phone and called Carmine, who opened the door behind me as soon as I started calling him. “You are not ready yet?!’ He closed the door and walked closer to me. “I don’t want to go anymore.’ “Why? Did something happen?’ “I don’t think I should see Oceana. We are fated mates. It would be a bad idea to come across each other again. How am I going to react once I set my eyes on her?!’ I sighed and sat down on the large white furry couch beside the bed as I folded my legs on the other. “You are nervous.” He uttered and sat down on the bed. “What happened to Emily?!’ “She is angry with me. She hates the fact I don’t care about her, which is not true.” “Is that why she walked out of the hotel like a raging animal?!” “Hey, stop that, Carmine.’ “Listen, we have to go home. You can’t avoid it this time.’ “I can.’ I cut in. “Just tell our father something came up and

His sweet and smooth voice touched my soul. "I love you too, Gerard.' "Oceana." "Then, why didn't you say anything to me, love.' His eyes shot up because I called him "Love" I don't care. He is like love to me. "All this time I have been searching for my mate, going from one ceremony to another, I once began to have these certain thoughts that maybe I am woofless." I softly asked with concern. "You were just a child, it was hard keeping it away from you, yet I tried and I'm sorry for taking this long to say it." He took his hand away from me, the instant he touched me. "What do you want me to do now? You've made me suffer so much.' I said through tears, my voice choked at my words. "I'm sorry about what you went through, let's do the needful since I'm here now.' "And what is that?" I asked with curiosity. "Reject me." His words took me by surprise, several minutes to get a sense of what he just said. "Let's cut it off, the bond.' "What? I should reject you?" I asked in disbe

"He's a good Alpha, from a good family. His reputation, and his image both with his family are clean, pure blood from the Mackenzie Clan. They are the fastest wolf alive in history and hardly any wolf outran them. Can't you see we want the best for you." "Mom, you are not giving me the best. I don't care where he comes from. How good his reputation is. You don't even know what he likes, what he dislikes, if he has anger issues, difficulties in understanding someone, you don't know that and you are gifting him to me." "Your father and I can never give you what will harm you. Listen, young lady, I know what is best for you." "Mom, you are giving me to someone that will harm me, that's what you are doing and it's not fair. I don't like him. This is not the best thing for me, this is a disaster." "Stop acting so childish, do you know how many women want to be his wife and his Luna? Do you also know how important he is in his clan? To this clan. We take the best and everyone wants him.
