~ ENRIQUE ~ I stir, feeling great… cracking open one eye, I glance towards the window, where the blinds are open, and the sun is shining in. I don’t remember getting into bed last night… Sitting up, I kick off the sheet, remembering what happened hazily. My hand goes to my shoulder as I look myself over. I’m healed. I knew a bit of rest would do it. Exhaling, I drop back on the pillow, staring at the ceiling as last night’s strange events return to me more vividly. I needed more answers, but questioning the Rossi Princesa is not something I’m interested in. Massaging my temples, I get out of bed, adjusting my pants as I stare down at my morning hard-on. I frown, for an odd moment, it almost felt like I had someone besides me. Which doesn’t make sense. I rarely bring women here, unless they’re really worth it. Women are great pleasure, but they’re annoying as hell. It’s strange though… I even imagined having big breasts against me. Fuck. The memory of me falling right on top of
A/N: Ignore the chapter numbers as I've made a mistake, my editor will have to fix this. ~ ENRIQUE ~ By the time the meeting is about to commence, I’m a lot calmer. I found the dagger Jose had taken on the bed and placed it back in my drawer after cleaning it. Idiot, I don’t like people touching what belongs to me. There were dark bloodstains on the bed. Did the bruises caused by those Crawlers actually get worse? And if so… did he ask ‘her’ how to deal with them? I hope not. I had managed to remove all thoughts of a certain naked doll who is far too fucking sexier than should be allowed, but now she’s back on my mind. The men are here already, seated in a row with a low table in front of them. The members of the pack who will be sitting in to hear the case are all here. Sitting in the chairs that had been set up in the pack hall for this meeting. A lot more people than I was expecting are here. Rumours had spread since Francisco’s death, and everyone knew I had a foreigner in
~ KATALEYA ~ He remembers me! I feel elated at the thought, my heart racing a thousand miles per second, and I suddenly feel even happier than I did earlier. Was that even possible? It seems so! Taking a deep breath, I begin from when I left the club feeling dizzy and strange. “I’m going to stop you there. I clearly remember you declining a drink… Did you change your mind after?” My heart skips a beat under his gaze, and I try my best not to blush as I look down. He always sounds so sexy when he speaks. If I accepted that drink, would things be better? Well, it’s too late now to muse over it. At least I got to spend the night with him. Not that anything happened. I mean, I didn’t want it to happen! I just… I shake my head, clearing my thoughts. I was sleeping so peacefully that it had been Jose who had woken me up and told me I had to return; he didn’t look surprised at all that I had escaped, but I had been a little embarrassed that he had caught us sleeping together, and I had
~ ENRIQUE ~ “I don’t like the fact we have a royal in the cells.” Carlos sighs as he sips his mojito. “Neither do I. The United Kingdom might be small, but they’re powerful. I don’t think we want to piss off the Lycan King.” Jose adds quietly, his voice blending with the thudding of the music in the club. We’re down at Jewels because today had just been too fucking much, and I needed a break. But even while I’m here all I can think of is her. Even Jose isn’t having any fun, which is not normal for him, but Carlos doesn’t make fun of either of us either. Seems no one is themselves today. Even my fucking wolf is irritating the fuck out of me with his restlessness. We sit here staring, unseeing, at the distractions down below that seem to be rather dull tonight. “She’s no royal in my eyes,” I reply arrogantly, thinking of the woman who reminds me of a princesa right out of a storybook with that hair and those curves. “Yet you call her Princesa.” Jose mocks. I exhale slowly, “Cabró
~ ENRIQUE ~ It’s complete silence down here… Turning the corner, I head right to the back until she comes into view. Once again, I didn’t pick up her heartbeat. For a second, I stop, freezing as a wave of nostalgia washes over me. The way she’s sitting brings back memories. Her knees are up, her arms wrapped around them and her head resting on her knees. “Get up,” I command, my stomach twisting, but before I let my mind wander, I shut down the thoughts that threaten to creep into my mind. She stands up gracefully, her eyes sparkling, and she smiles at me coyly. Why the fuck does she look like she’s fine? “Can I help you with something, Alpha?” She asks innocently, but fuck, there’s something about it that makes my dick twitch and I frown. “Stop acting like I’m fucking visiting you at your home, although this is your home right now.” I smirk coldly, “But there is actually something you can help me with. But we both know you don’t really care to listen or obey, right?” I cock a b
~ ENRIQUE ~ The phone goes off several times, and soon I’ve lost count of how many times someone’s entered the fridge. It’s actually shocking how many times the pack members eat. Maybe I should up their training, they eat like fucking animals. No wonder money is spent like water, they’re fucking gluttons. I’m drifting off again when my phone chimes. I’m already sick of the damn tune. I sit up, seeing the green glow light up around the edge of the screen. I almost ignore it, feeling far too comfortable in my seat, but glancing at the clock, it is past three in the morning now… It must be the thief. I sit up, unlocking my phone and check the camera. “I got you,” I growl, seeing a hooded figure prowling my shelves. I can tell from that ass it’s a woman and what irks me is she’s picked up another one of my custards. Fuck. I stand up, and quickly and silently exit my office, heading down to the kitchen quietly. My eyes glimmer as the unsuspecting thief continues to eat MY food. I
~ KATALEYA ~ His eyes snap up to mine, and I’m scared he’ll get angry again, so I quickly continue. “I’ve been working on something for some years, and I wanted to give it to you. But things didn’t go as I thought… I knew it was going to be hard, but I never realised how difficult… I came here and things happened. You hate me… hate us…” It pains me to admit those words out loud, but there is nothing I can do but explain this in the best way I possibly can without upsetting him. “And what exactly did you need to give me? Because I can assure you, I don’t want anything from you,” he counters icily. “I know… and that’s why I was hoping to stay here until you were more accepting of me… to give me a chance to prove that we didn’t mean to make things worse for you. We had no choice but to end the Djinn-” “There are always options!” he growls, stepping closer. “No… there wasn’t, because my aunty was going to kill the Djinn and give up her life in the process.” I whisper. “There was no o
~ ENRIQUE ~“Then kill me… If it will ease the pain in your heart, I will die willingly.”My eyes flash as she promises those words so carelessly as if her life is something so small and invaluable that she’s willing to throw it away or speak those words so carelessly when we all fucking know life is precious.That simply angers me more. They act like they’re willing to die for others, but the fucking truth is they haven’t experienced death the way I have.They use it in heroic remarks that carry no fucking weight.Suddenly, an intense ripple of some sort of magnetic shift fills the air, and everything dulls. Before I can even speak, she suddenly tenses up, her head snapping towards the ceiling as she stares unseeingly past me, her brilliant pink eyes full of…Terror.There’s no other way to explain it.What’s happening to her?I’m about to call her when her body gives way, and she’s about to fall to the ground, but instead, I push her backwards, so she lands on the bed behind her.The
