Chapter 395
ZADE.
She walks off, her hips swaying slightly, her ass catching my attention, and the primal instinct to claim her in every fucking way is roaring through me. I want her, to claim her, fuck her, own her and….
Ruin her.
She doesn’t realise how hard she is making it for me to control myself right now…
“She’s gone, stop staring,” Atticus growls. m
I smirk humourlessly, leaning back in my seat. She’s already left me with a semi- hard–on and a hunger that only her sweet tight pussy can satiate.
“I’ll do what I want. I’ll let you know now that I don’t like being told what to do, and I’m tolerating your bullshit because of her. But that’s as far as it goes, simply because we have someone we care about in common. So just remember, don’t fucking push me, I’m no longer your fucking prisoner.”
My eyes lock with his, my eye shimmering blue, his aura swirls around us as we stare one another down before I scoff and look away. All the fucking alpha pride radiating off him is making me sick.
I stand up; I think I’ll leave the siblings to talk. Spending this much time in the presence of an egotistical asshole pisses me off.
Walking through the large arch that leads to the kitchen, I walk up behind where she’s busy making coffee.
‘I’m stepping out for a bit, enjoy a bit of time with your brother,‘ I say to her, wrapping my arm around her from behind and placing my hand on her stomach as I tug her flush against me and kiss her neck.
Her breath hitches, a shuddering whimper leaving her.
Oh, she needs me as much as I fucking need her.
“You won’t be too long, right?” she asks, looking up at me.
“I won’t,” I reply, kissing her pouty lips.
She nods, a glimmer of concern in her eyes as she lets go of the mug that she is holding and turns to face me. “You’re not going to do anything dangerous, are you?” She searches my eyes for an answer.

“I won’t,” I say, it’s strange having someone care for you… I wrap my arms around her and rest my chin on top of her head for a moment.
‘Promise?‘ she asks through the mind–link.
‘I promise.‘ I lean back and look down at her, studying her, but she simply smiles, leaning up and kissing my lips softly.
I release her before turning and leaving. I don’t plan to go far, anyway. I just need away from Payne. I climb up the side of the house until I reach the roof, walking over it until I get to the ridge and choose a good spot to sit with a clear view of the moon above me.
The sound of the trees rustling in the wind, the animals scurrying around in the woodlands, and the soft breeze calms me. I stare at the moon, wondering if the Goddess is even up there. Does she really reside on the moon?
As a child, I spoke to her every night…hoping and praying for something more… that something I sought seems to be close.
Happiness.
Somewhere I belong.
Someone to come home to…
But the fear that I might lose her is always there. I am used to having nothing, used to having everything taken from me, and that’s what gets to me the most.
Sighing, I lie back on the ridge of the roof and stare up at the sky. I did get the prettiest little mate, though. The corner of my lips tugs up in the tiniest smirk and I close my eyes, feeling far more at peace than I did when I was inside with. the assface.
I can still sense her, feel her presence in the house below…
Home.
Wherever she is… 2
My eyes snap open, my heart racing.
I heard something.
I sit
up,
glancing around. It’s quieter… did I fall asleep? How long for?
A glance at the moon tells me it’s been a few hours. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Fuck, I told her I won’t be long. I run my fingers through my hair.
Another little gasp and something thudding makes me stand up and go to the side of the roof, only to see Valerie trying to climb up the side of the house.
“Fuck, what are you doing? You’ll fall.” I growl, crouching and leaning down to grab her by the elbows and pull her up.
She’s relieved for the help and I lift her up onto the roof, looking her over just to make sure she’s not hurt.
“You could have gotten hurt.”
She gives me a sheepish smile. “Sorry, I sensed you were up here… and I was wondering if you were ok since it’s been a while.”
I look down at her. She’s already changed into some loungewear consisting of soft pink leggings and a matching cropped top. She’s got a rucksack on her back and her face is make–up–free.
She’s gorgeous.
Frowning slightly, I keep hold of her until I have helped her to the ridge of the roof and help her sit down before I drop down beside her. “How long was I up here?”
