"Have we reached?" Dawn asked lazily.
"No darling. I need to reach inside you again, " he hummed and her insides clenched. This man, this werewolf, her Alpha loved her and loved to pleasure her.
Dawn looked at him with sleepy eyes.

Lily Wyatt was rocking in her chair in her room that was dark with all curtains drawn. Everything was shattered around her. The way Daryn Silver had acquired her jewelry store made her a maniac. She had thrown everything on the ground and had screamed cursing Dawn. She wouldn't sleep until she heard that Dawn was killed. There was a picture of her son along with Clare on her dresser. She took the photo out of the frame, took a knife and slashed across the face of her daughter-in-law.
"I had preserved the picture only to remind myself how much I hated you, Clare, but today— today I am going to throw you and your daughter out of my life, " she said as she panted."That bitch along with her husband has acquired thirty percent of our business. I will protect the remaining and, and protect it ferociously, even if that means heads rolling to the ground." She continued to dig the knife in the picture.
Next day at the breakfast table, when she was having orange juice, her Granddaughter Cecilia was reading the newspaper. The front page was covered with only one news - Daryn Silver Marries The Queen of his Heart. She scrunched her face when she noticed her wedding gown. This was the same gown she had disliked so much. Her friendship with Gigi after that episode had finished.
None of them even talked whether to attend her marriage or not. No one wanted to see her face.
"Mother, did you see the news today?" she asked as she stared at the picture of the couple with hatred in the paper.
"No, why?"
"Here take a look, " she handed her over.
"The bitch has married Daryn Silver. She used all her charms to get him. I am sure she practices sorcery, otherwise how can a man so rich and handsome fall for this beggar, who has nothing?" She dug the fork in her kiwi and took a ruthless bite as if trying to kill Dawn with her teeth."And why has the media covered her so much?"
Anne took in a deep breath and said, "You had your chance Cece, so don't complain. Also what do you expect? From now onwards she will be closely monitored and whatever she is going to wear, bare or eat, it will be splashed in every newspaper or magazine of the country." Her eyes drifted to her mother who was looking cold after yesterday's outburst. The loss of the jewelry store was a huge setback. It just came so suddenly and within three weeks it was gone. Everyone in the Wyatt family was not just anxious, they were filled with hate and envy towards Dawn.
Lily Wyatt got up from there and went back to her room. The maids had cleared the broken and shattered pieces that were lying across the floor. She picked her phone and called Helena.
"Yes Lily?" Helena said in her usual busy tone. She didn't know how to deal with the jewelry store's incident. She so wished that Niall hadn't created so much controversy and things would have been better. She pinched the bridge of her nose. She knew what Lily would say.
"If I see Niall even once more in my house or if she has anything to do with Wyatts, I am going to kill her. So make sure that she stays away from Jason or from you or from us!" she spat in the phone."Did you really think that you are a part of my family to allow Niall to buy things from our line of stores? Who are you Helena? You are here because I have allowed you to stay and only because you are close to Anne. But you have been taking undue advantage of that favor?"
"Don't say that to me Lily!" Helena snarled."If I have stayed here, I have proven my worth. It won't be incorrect to say that I have been your right hand henchman. I have erased everything that came your way!"
Lily scoffed."If that was true, then you would have taken care of Dawn five years back when she had run away. You got a great lead as to where she was hidden. I gave you simple orders—to kill Dawn and get Cole. But look what happened? You couldn't do either. Dawn escaped and now she has come back to grab our necks!" She almost shouted."That fool Jason—he couldn't even carry out a simple task like that. What good are you two for me?"
Helena clenched her jaw with anger. She didn't dare to tell him that it was Jason who helped Azura to bring back Dawn, otherwise Lily would immediately throw them out.
"Now listen to me carefully, " said Lily. She passed on her next instructions on what to do.
That night at 9PM, the social media went abuzz with congratulatory messages and how the Wyatts were feeling proud of their child - Dawn Wyatt for marrying Daryn Silver. The message was:
"Lily Wyatt and family would like to congratulate and wish loads of success to her Granddaughter, Dawn Wyatt for marrying Daryn Silver, CEO of the Silver House. At the same time, we are sad that none of the family members were invited to bless the couple. But it doesn't matter, as we will still wish our beloved grandchild to enjoy their married life. I wish my son and daughter were still alive."
Thousands of messages poured in that night and every message more hurtful than the previous one.
"Oh my God! Dawn Wyatt is such a snob!"
"Poor Grandmother. She is so sweet. How could they have a girl like that in family?"
"So the little girl has returned with a bang!"
"Yes. She is congratulating her even though she wasn't invited."
"The girl is already flying high on her success after marrying Daryn Silver."
"What a bitch! I have never seen such an ungrateful granddaughter."
The messages kept pouring in the social media that night and once again the news made the front page - Married Daryn Silver at What Cost?
Lily smiled when she saw the papers next morning. Helena did her job well this time. Anne went to meet Helena and talk about it.
When Cole saw the papers in the morning, he showed them to Gayle. Gayle crushed the paper and threw it on the ground.

When the aircraft reached Athens, Dawn was completely spent. Daryn hadn't let her sleep and she was mumbling in anger. But Daryn looked confident, fresh and still lusty as hell."Louche!" she mumbled.
"Baby, don't say that. I have so many plans for you. Besides I think I am worse than a louche when it comes to you." It was true. He couldn't get enough of his wife.
When the car left the airport, Dawn was resting her head back. Her gaze went outside the window and she saw a flash of a familiar face. She got up with a jolt and stared back at the place where she noticed that man, but he wasn't there.
"What's it baby?" asked Daryn with a frown.
"I think— I think I saw Azura..." she replied as her face paled.
