Chapter Twenty OneI couldn't sleep.I tossed and turned on my bed as details of what happened in the garden played through my mind like a movie. Too many emotions were swirling through my head making her heart pound out of rhythm. I was excited, scared and uncertain. Two weeks ago I couldn't even fathom the idea of going through with what Gary had brought me here for, I wasn't some prized mare in the market sold to a billionaire to do with as he wishes and yet here I am lusting after that same billionaire. I'm grateful to Tristan for giving me my life back, for respecting my wishes and giving me the liberty to choose. The moment I set eyes on him in that basement I knew things were never gonna be the same again. I stayed up the whole night pacing my room back and forth weighing my decision. If I'm gonna do this it's going to be out of my free will and because I wanted it.By the time morning came I already made my decision and I was eager to let Tristan know that my answer is stil

Chapter Twenty ThreeI cried a little more the day after and the next. The days blurred together and I had no idea how long I spent in my misery it didn't help that in all those days Tristan was no where to be seen that I began to think he was a mere figment of my imagination. Josh and Cherry kept me company but they still refused to take me to the pond, we went shopping for clothes where they told me to pick whatever I want, how they got the money was beyond me but I had a wild guess it came from Tristan I just didn't dwell on it for too long I eventually got sick of wallowing in self pity and how pathetic it made me look. If he wants to be with Rowena fine I won't force myself on him. I didn't see Tristan for four days and on the fifth he appeared like an apparition seemingly out of nowhere. Out of all days I let myself wander into his office, the heavy scent of his cologne still lingered and I enjoyed it too much that I told myself I'd only stay five minutes so I sat myself down

Chapter Twenty FiveI hate you.Tristan snapped the buttons on his shirt and threw it into the hamper.I hate you.The full moon's starting tonight he should ask Isaac how that's coming along.I hate you.He snapped finally and punched a hole in the wall with his fist. Tristan was trying so hard to distract himself from her hurtful words and his awful behaviour but it just kept coming.It's for the best at least with her new found hatred she won't come close to him anymore. This is what's best for the both of them."Are you ready to finally meet your mate, tonight might be it?""Or you could find yours.""I'm not in a hurry." Isaac said. " You on the other hand…" Tristan's glare made him hold his tongue. The issue about his mate was a very touchy subject, one they rarely broached. What if he actually finds his mate at the moon ball tonight then what? Would his attraction towards Kyra be nothing but a distant memory to eventually fade away? Tristan did not believe in this whole mate

Chapter Twenty Seven I buried my face in his chest as we walked through the throng of werewolves. I didn't strain my ears to hear what they were whispering about me. When we were finally out of ear shot I pulled back and said, "you can put me down now I can walk perfectly fine.""Be quiet."A retort was just at the tip of my tongue but I held back, it was pointless to fight with him anyway and so I gave up. He was warm and comfortable eliciting a sigh of content from me.Tristan put me down on a king sized bed and as I took in the spacious room and dark colours I realised this was his bedroom.Why did Tristan bring me to his bedroom?"Why did you bring me here?" I asked as he took my arm to examine the claw scratches. "It's closer and you were heavy. Now wipe that snort off your face you look ugly."I snatched my arm away glaring at him. "Ha ha very funny."He grabbed my ankle and I winced in pain. "I'm going to kill those bastards." Tristan gritted.That was sweet and all him getti

Chapter Twenty NineEven after extracting the name of the wolf who put them to it Tristan didn't pause on the whip instead it fuelled his anger more. The cracks of the whip and their screams of pain was all that could be heard but Tristan wasn't stopping anytime soon, even their desperate pleadings fell on deaf ears until Isaac interfered."I think they've had enough don't you think?" Isaac said eyeing the almost identical wounds on their backs still fresh and dripping with blood unable to heal, at least it won't for a while because the whip had been laced wolfsbane. It must hurt like a bitch, he thought with a grimace. One of them has already passed out and his body was dangling from the ropes tied all the way to the ceiling.For a fleeting second Tristan looked as if he was going to turn on his Beta who took a step back when he saw those black bottomless eyes, there was no telling what he'd do when he's gripped by Alpha rage but then Tristan shut his eyes and exhaled and his eyes sl
