Thalia walked out of her bathroom after letting the hot shower clean away the blood on her body. She didn't know why but the smell of blood made her nauseated. It felt like she was missing something, an essential piece of the puzzle to her life, but every time she tried to catch a hold of that piece, it vanished into thin air. It was annoying and downright frustrating that she couldn't even remember that forgotten part of her life. How weird it was to live a life when half of your memories of the past are gone. She didn't remember her parents, the house where she grew up, and any childhood friends and family vacations. The only thing she could remember now was her past traumas. All the happy memories were gone.Dressed in grey sweatpants and a long hoodie, she stepped out only to see Carter still standing in her room. She wanted to tell him to leave, but then her gaze fell on his dark brown eyes. Those eyes of his seemed to have been chilled t

It was infuriatingly annoying that Thalia was so unruffled by the sexual tension that zapped between them. Carter was like a moment away from being suffocated. Both he and his wolf felt frustrated by the sexual energy in the air. His wolf was totally on edge, clawing at his gut with a ferocious intensity, upset at Carter for not taking what belonged to them. It was a simple matter to his beast - he liked, he fucked, he owned. End of the story.As for any strings attached to it, he would leave them to his human counterpart to clear them up. Selfish bastard.Though the two had different opinions for Thalia, Carter and his beast were on the same wavelength. Utterly pissed at her calm as a cucumber expression like she couldn't wait to kick him out, he knew he affected her, but unlike him, she reined in her desires better.Not much of a surprise there."You are not used to me being around you?" Carter asked, wanting to test her mettle one last

Thalia felt her face burn in embarrassment. She would be very grateful if the ground could open up and swallow her whole. She tried to look away, but Carter's hold on her chin was too strong. She couldn't even tilt her head, much less move it. Carter saw her flustered expression and grinned, rubbing her swollen lips with his thumb. Knowing that the reason her lips were swollen was from his kiss gave him a truly gratified feeling. "You can pretend all you want, sugar. Act like you don't want to give in to me. Resist what your instincts are telling you is the right course of action. But you will give in to me, and it will happen eventually. It might frighten you, this feeling you get when I'm around you. There will come a time when these feelings captivate you, leaving you drunk from the rush of giving in to your desires, supple and wanting. You will learn to embrace it soon. Thalia, you just need to stop fighting it. You are not a coward, so stop acting like one

Renard shrugged, causing the many golden chains around his neck and wrist to jingle as he cracked his neck. "Who told me? Is that something you even need to ask?" He took out his cellphone and tapped it a few times before turning it around and showing a video loaded on a site called shifter tube. "That pretty little wolf's glorious act of sacrifice to save another is all over social media, Atherton. It's not that I'm trying to be nosy, but you can't ignore what is right in front of you. I want you to know I am trying to be kind here. At least I went through all the bells and whistles to put my suggestion forward. I went through the trouble of arranging this meeting with your beta when I could have enjoyed a good sauna and bath with a new little toy instead. If I were you, I would agree with my suggestion to give me your cute little she-wolf that will cause numerous problems. With me around, no one would dare to touch that little girl of yours. I don't like damaging my fine assets. I

Ordinarily, Thalia wouldn't have reacted to anyone as she did with Dominic. But Dominic was a really gorgeous-looking guy. His attitude was good, and his dominant vibes weren't bad either. With sandy blond hair and green eyes, he was just like a prince out of a movie, a bit like her dream prince charming. With Dominic around, her body's response was always 'oh yes, he is the one,' but her wolf was a different story. Though she didn't stop Thalia from getting closer to Dominic, she didn't hide her disdain for him either. Even now, Thalia could feel her wolf's languid 'meh' as if showing her contempt for Thalia's mediocre taste. Thalia's heart, well, it was all sorts of confused, like what she was doing was wrong. That this was entirely wrong. Both her wolf and her heart only wanted one guy. 'Shut up,' cursed Thalia inwardly. She knew that no matter how much she wanted Carter, he was bad news. So it was better for her to s
