Him:

"I've been looking for her for centuries now, and when I caught her scent at the party, I knew I have to go after her. No way in hell I will miss her. 

When I saw her in her wolf form, it was the most beautiful sight I have ever witnessed in my long life. And once she shifted and looked up at me with her doe eyes, I knew I was done for"

My heart was beating like crazy and my body was humming in pleasure. I dig my snout onto his neck and grace my canines over his fur absently. He growls in response, biting softly on my neck. I could spend hours smelling him and never get tired of it. He just felt so good, the feeling was incredible. I never felt like this before and I didn't want it to end.

He then pulls away to look directly at my eyes and growls just one word:

"Mine"

Her Return: A New Beginning

I promised myself that I'll never hurt her. I knew that if I tell her the truth, it will hurt her and put her in a compromising position, but not telling her also hurt her nevertheless and I'll never forgive myself. 


Riley is disappointed in me now and I hate that feeling. I wish I could go back in time and do things better, to have the guts to look vulnerable in front of her. 


I knew I needed to make things better, but I was giving her time to cool down. To be honest, I am too ashamed to face her right now. 


I get up from the couch and walk toward the bar situated in the corner across from the fireplace and the sitting area. 


I pour scotch into a glass and bring it to my lips but it falls to the floor mid-way, making a mess on my feet. 


I suck a breath and press a hand where I felt the sting in my chest. I knew immediately that something happened to Riley.
