All the way home, Edith was silent with a gloomy face. It crossed her mind that she could have killed and become a monster for taking a human life. Thinking about it made her frantic; this was the first time she felt such great fury inside her that she wanted to hurt others.
Edith felt the warmth in her hand when Seth took it in one hand. The man seemed to be taking this incident in stride. Neither shocked nor angry, but more understanding of how Edith was feeling right now.
“Should I call Ashley?”
“No need, Seth. I don’t want to trouble anyone else.”
After that, Edith just listened silently to Seth, who tried to comfort her. Arriving at the pack house, they immediately entered the living room. Seth sat Edith on the sofa and embraced her.
He told her about his situation when he did his first shift. At that time, Seth only felt anger that peaked just because of a small problem. He just wanted to vent his anger at the people around him.
“Is it true like that?”
“Yes, it is. We had to adapt after our first shift. It’s very painful; your bones are broken, your anger is completely uncontrollable, and at that time I once attacked one of the students at school. Maybe you remember little Asher, who had a small body and wore glasses?”
“Yeah, I remember him. I also remember that you were very angry that time, and you ran away after you snarled.”
“What I’m trying to tell you is that we are beings with supernatural powers that can hurt humans, but we can control them over time because we still have humanity inside. What you must remember is that I will always be by your side. Remember the promise of our unification, in good times and bad. I will always be by your side, even in the worst of times.”
Seth also told how he once almost killed someone. His father’s presence was a saviour for the person he attacked. Seth had to feel his collarbone and several left ribs broken because of his father’s resistance.
Edith felt calmer after hearing Seth’s story. It was not only her who experienced the throes of anger, but other creatures like her must have also experienced it. One thing she was sure of was that Edith had to learn to control her emotions.
Suddenly Edith remembered that her grandmother could change her form into a golden wolf. In her mind, some Veela might be able to do it. Unfortunately, she could not get more information about her own kind.
“Do you know something? My grandmother was the golden wolf of legend. How did she do it? I didn’t think to ask her that when we met.
“Maybe with more practice, you’ll be able to do it.”
“I’ll try; I want to know how it feels to mind-link with you and the rest of the pack.”
“I see your mood has already been boosted.”
“Thanks to you, you can always break the ice.”
“Are you teasing me?”
“No. Why?”
Edith spoke words that were at odds with her feelings. She turned her gaze in another direction so that Seth would not notice her flushed face. The truth was that she was lying so as not to appear to be mesmerised by Seth.
“Why be embarrassed?”
“I’m not embarrassed,” Edith denied.
“You’re not being honest, Julian told me. Seth grinned as he glanced at Julian.
Edith looked at Julian, who was smiling at her. Edith rolled her eyes and looked upset. Her own son betrayed her.
“I told you, Julian will only obey my orders.”
Edith widened her eyes and cursed Seth’s behaviour as they left the living room for their room. She was not annoyed but embarrassed at being caught in the mood. Edith felt more and more tempted by the Alpha every day.
Since claiming Seth as her immortal mate and activating her powers, Edith has felt a drastic alteration in her body. She became more emotional, like a woman who was having her period. Especially when Edith felt Seth’s presence beside her, she became even more possessive of the man.
‘Am I losing my mind?’ Edith muttered to herself.
“No supernatural being is completely sane. I’ve been crazy about you ever since you claimed me as your immortal mate. I smell the scent of chocolate with a sprinkle of almonds from your body; even though your pheromone used to only smell normal, I like it. Every inch of your body makes me want to make love to you all the time. Wait, I noticed you didn’t have your period.”
“Just one day. It’s always been like that; maybe because I’m a Veela, I don’t know.”
Edith shook her head. Her head movement stopped as Edith felt her lips being greedily touched by Seth. Seth’s hands deftly stripped Edith naked. He backed his face and pushed Edith up against the wall.
“Turn around, baby.”
Edith didn’t understand, so she just obeyed Seth’s words. She turned to face the wall, and Edith felt her upper body being pushed down by Seth.
“What are you going to do?”
“Just follow my lead; you’ll be hooked for the next time.”
Seth held Edith’s waist and inserted himself into Edith. He pumped at a fast tempo because his desire had peaked earlier and he didn’t want to waste any time.
Edith sighed and swore. Sweat was already pouring all over her body; she had never felt such intense desire like this. Edith enjoyed it so much; she just kept sighing until she felt Seth stop her movements.
“You like it, baby?”
“Yes.”
Seth lifted Edith’s body up onto the bed. He widened Edith’s thighs and entered her again. Seth pumped so hard that Edith sighed for the umpteenth time.
“This is so good, Seth,” Edith sighed.
Seth pumped faster and faster. He felt Edith’s body trembling under him. Seth kissed Edith’s lips and managed to reach his climax. He pulled his body from Edith and chuckled as he looked at the sweaty Edith.
“What do you feel?”
“Like burning.”
Seth chuckled again. He wiped away every ounce of sweat running down his wife’s temples. He laid himself down next to Edith and played with Edith’s blonde hair, which was slightly wet from their play earlier.
“You’re so beautiful, even when you’re exhausted like this.”
“Thank you, but I’m really tired, Seth. My energy has been drained because of the incident at the library.
“Go to sleep; I’m going to rub your back.”
“I’d love to.”
Edith turned her back to Seth and felt Seth’s warm hand on her back. Sleepiness began to take hold of her until Edith couldn’t resist anymore and ended up closing her eyes.
