Before I know it, Theo's wolf stands up in a swift movement and takes advantage of my surprise to wrap his hands around my face much more gently than might seem possible and he pulls me to him, stealing a kiss from my lips and making it worth it. He growls from his throat and glues his whole body to mine, sucking on my lips and demanding my tongue forcefully, so much so that I can't do anything but kiss him back, savor the taste of his lips and hating myself for not letting us have this sooner. Sure, I'm super angry and all, but this is just so good. Everything with him feels so damn good. Knowing that I'm kissing my fated mate is the best feeling I've ever had in my entire life, so I put my all into this kiss, but just when I want to make it more intense, Theo pulls back and just looks at me."I'm sorry, I couldn't stop myself. I had to kiss you," he excuses himself and shrugs his shoulders, slowly going back to being just Theo, "It won't happen again unless you give me explicit pe

{ Theodore }I walk to the office with Millie in her baby carrier even though I'm not very happy with her at the moment. Her presence in our bed yesterday ruined my chance at a little relief, but I still owe her the world for making it so I can even be in the same bed as Nukea. "Hey, Holly," I greet her when I see her, poised as always, "Can you get me an espresso?""Uhm, I think you're going to want something stronger," she murmurs and gives me that look she's only given me a few times, when something is wrong, "Liam is waiting for you in your office and he's clearly ready for a fight."I close my eyes and groan with stress. I'm not looking forward to be in close vicinity to him, but of course Liam wouldn't accept being ghosted for too long. I open the door and find him immediately, pacing in front of my desk. He looks like absolute shit. His face looks much thinner and harsher than normal, his eyes have red circles under his eyes and his black suit is completely wrinkled. None of

The comments about me don't stop, the mocking looks don't stop either, but it's easy to ignore them because no one says anything directly to me or Violet.They're all gossiping as we go into the dressing room to take off our clothes and put on bathrobes. "Hey, Nu. I'm sorry," Charlie says when she comes back to us, with a pitiful face, "I didn't think they would be so nasty...""Don't worry, I'm used to dealing with bitches like this," I say, not caring if they can all hear me, "Come on, I'm excited."Charlie nods and tries to carry on like it's nothing even though the whispers continue.An older woman then approaches and begins to tell us the scheduled activities. Massages, facials, scrubs and some other fancy stuff that I don't understand, but is supposedly going to rejuvenate my face. "Hey, that sounds perfect for you," I say to the cunt standing next to me, elbowing her, "You totally need rejuvenating.""Excuse me?" she spits, eyes full of fury. Violet tightens her grip on my ar

We stay in pleasant silence for a couple of minutes as I wash Nukea's body and think about us and our next few steps. The fact that Nu told the truth to those girls doesn't make me angry like she thought it would. Quite the contrary, I'm glad that now we can speed everything up. "So, I'm thinking..." I mumble as I'm washing her long hair carefully, Nukea just nods for me to continue, "Greyhound Holidays start next month. There are a lot of activities planned for the whole pack and I'll have plenty of opportunities to tell them about you. And us, our bond. It would be perfect news for Jubilo Day, actually. December 15. I'm not saying we have to hide until that day, just that it’s the perfect moment to say it openly and formally introduce you.""Okay," she answers quietly after a few seconds, "What about your dad? When are you going to give the good news of his return?""I have no idea. He's been postponing his return. Apparently, he met someone," I laugh and roll my eyes. I really ca

{ Nukea }The days leading up to the big important day, things feel… a little bit weird. Theo is constantly nervous and distant, but in a very weird way. Sometimes when we're together, cuddling or just hanging out, he'll be pensive and quiet for long moments until I remind him of my existence and he comes back to me, acting as if everything is normal. I don't know whether to take that as a bad thing or not, but I can't help but notice it, especially these past couple of days, since we spend most of the day together in the office. I’m having a Luna Speed Course with Theo’s team… and it’s not going amazingly. "Wanna get lunch, baby?" Theo asks, pulling me out of me thoughts as he walks into the boardroom where I've been stuck for three hours now, listening to a bunch of bullshit about how to smile at people, how to be fake, how to always answer gracefully, how to always honor my Alpha, etcétera. Being Luna is fucking exhausting and I haven't even started yet, "Are you guys done here?
