LOGINTony didn't approve of Tatiana's bossy attitude, but she was Kalina's sister, so he didn't want to argue with her.He turned to Talia. "Is Lisa causing problems?"Talia was not an alarmist, but she couldn't dismiss Tatiana's worry either. "We are not sure. Max is in the bar, and we found Lisa chatting with him. It could be a coincidence, but just in case, we would like to warn you and Lina that Lisa is on the beach and that you should be careful. That's all."Tony understood that this was not about him. Why would he be wary of Lisa? "Do you think that Lisa will harm Lina?"Tatiana was irked by his casual tone. Are all Alpha guys ignorant in terms of how women work? "Your ex-girlfriend is having difficulty accepting that you moved on, Tony. What do you think, where will she direct her grievances?"Tony's irritation was bubbling. He didn't want to talk about Lisa, but Tatiana was pushing his buttons. "Even before we started dating, Lisa knew that only my fated mate can be my Luna. From
Outside…"Tanya, wait!", Talia called while catching up to Tatiana and she was relieved to see that Tatiana stopped."Why did you leave?", Talia asked when she reached Tatiana."Should I stay there and watch Max with some other woman?""Are you jealous?"Tatiana rolled her eyes. "What's there to be jealous about?"Talia smiled knowingly. It was normal to be jealous if a mate is close to another woman. Even Talia was jealous at the sight of Cassie clinging onto Drake, and Talia didn't know that Drake was her mate at that time. Talia knew firsthand that the mate bond will work its wonders regardless of whether one is aware of it, and it's impossible to ignore that attraction. Tatiana was irked by Talia's smirk. It was obvious that Talia didn't believe her. "I already knew that Maddox River is a lecherous bastard. The moment he was not with me, he found someone else and that only confirmed my opinion of him." She shook her head. "This won't work. I need to…""Stop!", Talia said sternly.
"Max? Why are you drinking here?"Lisa stiffened at the sound of Drake's voice. It was a good thing that her back was facing the door, and she prayed silently that he doesn't recognize her. Maybe he will say hi and leave.Maddox glanced toward the door to see Drake, Talia, Mindy, and Tatiana standing there.At the sight of Tatiana, Maddox's insides tightened. Right. That's why he was here, drinking.Maddox wanted to embrace Tatiana and drown in her presence, but the thought that she didn't want him was excruciating. He turned his attention back to the glass in front of him. Maybe they will all go away and leave him alone.Tatiana exhaled a sharp breath. She should have known. She didn't want to come here in the first place, but she thought it would be rude to refuse Drake's request. And now she got to see Maddox with another woman."I see that I'm not needed here, so I will head back.", Tatiana turned on her heel and left the bar without giving anyone a chance to stop her.She didn't
Lisa squirmed under Maddox's gaze. No one ever looked at her so intently.With every passing moment, Maddox appeared to be larger, while she shrunk. Was that physically possible or was her imagination playing tricks on her?Beads of sweat dripped down Lisa's forehead, and those were definitely not from the heat. She was nervous to the point of fainting. Why was he not saying anything?Maddox was confused. Why was his wolf growling in his head?Maddox's assessment of Lisa was spot on. He didn't care much about her personality, but he knew that she was coming onto him, which meant she was willing. Definitely not an innocent virgin, which was a bonus. Lisa was not a bombshell, but she was passable. He had worse.So, what was stopping him from taking her in the back? It's not like they needed a bedroom. Maddox did it in the restroom, hallway, a bush, sitting, standing, lying down, and anything in-between, and the level of alcohol in his system never played a role in it because his body wo
Earlier…Maddox was approaching the beach and his steps slowed down.If he showed up there without Tatiana, people will be asking questions he was not willing to answer.Did he have answers to those questions? He was not sure.What will he say? That his mate was not willing to give him a chance? ...to give THEM a chance?Sure, some things can't be fixed. That morning was a stain that won't be removed no matter what he does.Maddox didn't think it was a big deal, but obviously, Tatiana thought otherwise. He wanted to apologize, but he realized that would be insincere. What would he apologize for? It's not like he did it on purpose.Why can't she accept that he made a mistake and it will not happen again?Maddox didn't have a time machine to fix the past. However, there were things they could do in the future. They could create many happy memories that will make that bad one fade into insignificance.Unfortunately, Tatiana was not willing to give them a chance.She wanted him to do so
After Maddox left, Tatiana was sitting on the grass and sipping wine absentmindedly until it turned lukewarm.There was a time when she was young and naïve, and she dreamed about the moment she will meet her mate. In Tatiana's mind, her mate will be handsome and charming, and he would walk through the fire to make her happy.Somehow… Maddox didn't fit into that picture.Maddox is undeniably handsome, and he had moments when he was charming, and he said that he would do anything to make her happy, but still… something was missing.Tatiana wondered if she was too picky. Objectively speaking, Maddox is a very handsome guy. Why can't she focus on his positives?Or did she spend too much time among humans? Did she suppress her wolf side so much that she started acting like a human?Any normal she-wolf would forget herself when she finds her mate; being mated to an Alpha is definitely a big bonus, but Tatiana was different.Yes, his scent of coffee was intoxicating, and his flavor was addi
Marcy's mind was a mess after receiving the news that tomorrow she will meet Drake, the Alpha of the notorious Dark Howlers pack, aka her future husband. She still didn't recuperate from the event of finding (and rejecting) her mate, yet now she needs to think about another man. And this was not j
The next day was a blur for Marcy as she struggled to accept reality while cursing the day of returning home. Luna Layla's tea parties, Nora taking Marcy places and trying to cheer her up while thinking that Marcy has difficulty adjusting to the life in the pack, Marcy coming up with excuses why s
~ The Red Moon pack ~ "Out of the way!", Anna spat angrily while carrying a stack of plates into the kitchen. Talia quickly stepped to the side, not wanting to attract attention. She never understood why Anna or other Omegas are treating her like trash, she is an Omega, just like they are. The o
"Drive safely.", Stephanie said to Caden when he started the car. The trio would save a lot of time if they went with a helicopter or a plane, but werewolves like to feel the ground below them and won't fly unless it's absolutely necessary. "Be back in three days.", Stephanie added meaningfully.
