The silence in the car was so thick that when he stepped down, he inhaled deep fresh air and could immediately tell the difference. He knew at once that he didn't imagine it. His relationship with his mate was deteriorating fast. Her silence was too loud for him. These days, all she ever cared about was the baby.It was pissing him off.It was hard enough for them to get to the point where she welcomed his touch then a baby just had to come in out of nowhere. Wasn't this enough sign of an ill-fate?He didn't know what else to think but he knew one thing he wouldn't do; give up. He couldn't do that. He had come too far with her. He would die first before she could get far from him. She was too dear and too precious.He walked to the store and he turned his head when he felt the stare of a few people. There were three young men sitting on the truck of their dusty old pick-up truck. They each had a cigar in their hand as they watched him leave. One of them had eyes on his car and Leroy t

Anna placed her hand on his chest and pushed away from him. She staggered back as she stared at him with shock written on her face. She had no words to say as she examined his body.The bandage over his upper body and his head was the only thing stopping her from believing she was dead. She slowly stretched her fingers to his chest. She flinched when she touched his skin, her jaw hanging loose. She felt the dam of her tears cracking and about to break, she couldn't control it."T-Thank goodness," she sighed, clenching hard on her teeth as she sniffed, breathing in short breaths till her chest was swollen with unreleased breaths."Thank goodness!" her legs gave out but he was quick to catch her. He pulled her into his body with his strong arms and Anna had her hands over her mouth as she cried. She couldn't stop touching him, feeling the warmth of his blood rushing through his veins and the sound of his beating heart, an indication that he was still alive.He patted her head in a lovin

Leroy awoke with a pounding headache. He couldn't even remember when he slept off. He was buried balls deep in his mate, fighting Leikan's attitude and that was the last thing he could remember. The windows were shut and the room carried Anna's scent in the air.He was deeply sated. He never knew she had such stamina-- oh wait, did he pass out first? Oh, that wasn't good! She would never let him hear the last of it.Anna would tease him till his ears bled. He smiled and turned to the other side of the bed.It was empty.Now that he saw that, he realised her scent wasn't as strong as she had been a while ago. Where did she go? He wasn't fond of her leaving the house but he didn't want to make her feel caged in.No one could touch her anyways. He moved the sheets away and sat up. His visions dragged as he held his head suddenly. He felt dizzy and it ate down to his bones too. He was even too weak to stand.It was a distant and familiar feeling but he couldn't place his finger on it. Was

“I don't remember much of what happened that day,” Nathan continued his storytelling. Anna didn't mind it though, they had a lot of time to wait… for Leroy to show up.Why did it feel as though she was leading him to his doom?“He left me with nothing. Grandfather was the only one I had. My father died when I was very young and my mother, well she died at childbirth,” the nonchalance dripped from his voice as he mentioned them.He was pouring himself a drink again. That was the fourth glass now.Maybe his Werewolf genes went to his alcohol intake? Well what do you know?“My Grandfather had another boy whom he looked after. We weren't related. He was dark skinned, had this… long dreads for hair, very brilliant kid- what's his name again,” he drummed his fingers on his chin where he was seated on his desk.Jamal?“Jamal, I think,” he confirmed her thoughts. “I wonder if he's dead now.”She glanced at him before she threw her face away. It wasn't her place to tell him anything. But… “Wer

She squeezed her eyes shut waiting for her body to slam against the hard floor but she fell into something warm and furry that held her tight instead.Her heart was beating too fast and loud. She could hear the pumping of his own blood. The heavy and fast thud of it made her heart race. She knew what had caught her but Anna refused to look at it.She was terrified.If it wanted to kill her, it could as well do it now.'Who was that boy, mate?' Leikan glared but her eyes were closed. When he growled deep in his throat, he saw her tremble. She was a trembling mess. She had her hands pressed against her chest like he was fire to the touch.'You smell of a very familiar scent,' he thought to himself. He knew she could hear him but it didn't hurt to try.He noticed how small she was compared to his larger frame.'Release your beast,' he pushed his head closer to her. Her short gasp of fear made his face wrinkle in disgust. He was smitten by her human form but he was more interested in her
