SCOTT POVI couldn't believe my ears. Mate? Did he just call Fiona his mate? My heart skipped a beat, and a surge of protectiveness coursed through me. I stepped forward, positioning myself between Fiona and the stranger, ready to defend her if necessary.I looked around to notice that everyone seemed to be watching the unexpected scene that seemed to be unfolding. The place was so quiet that I could hear the faint sound of my own heartbeat pounding in my chest. Fiona stood behind me, her expression a mix of surprise and confusion. I could tell she was taken aback by the stranger's words as well. But I wasn't going to let anything happen to her.As no one seemed to be uttering anything. Lilly stared in confusion at her brother who had introduced himself as Jason. "Jason," Lilly finally spoke up, breaking the silence. "What do you mean by 'mate'? Can you please explain?"Jason hesitated for a moment, his gaze shifting between Fiona and me. His voice was calm, but there was an intensi
EDEN POVThe conflicting emotions of feeling a bond with Jason while still thinking of Scott weighed heavily on my mind as we made our way back to the pack house. Jason's gaze, intense and probing, seemed to search for answers within me.It has been a whirlwind of events lately. Discovering this newfound connection with Jason had stirred up a mixture of excitement and confusion within me. His presence, his slight touch, had ignited a spark that I hadn't felt in a long time. But my heart couldn't help but linger on Scott, my love interest.I wondered if it was fair to Jason to have these conflicting feelings. I didn't want to lead him on or give false hope if my heart was still tied to Scott. Yet, there was something undeniably special about the bond I shared with Jason. It was a connection that transcended words, something deeper and more profound.As we continued our walk, I stole glances at Jason, trying to interpret the emotions reflected in his eyes. Was he feeling the same way?
EDEN POV"Mon chéri?" The cold voice of Scott seemed to have startled me. I gave a small smile as I stared at Jason, hoping he didn't question why I was called that name. It was already hard for me to be expressing these new feelings with him.As I looked into Jason's eyes, I could feel a mixture of excitement and anxiety coursing through me. The realization that I had developed a deep connection with him, a mate bond, was both exhilarating and terrifying. It was a bond forged on an instinctual level, something beyond my control, yet it felt undeniably rightI wondered if my old self was the one feeling this mate bond or likely Fiona.The previous owner of this body. Fiona, the she-wolf who had inhabited this vessel before me, had formed a bond with Scott. And now, here I was, in the same situation, connected to Jason."Yes!" I responded as my smile grew even wider. Scott's eyes softened, a flicker of relief crossing his face. He reached out and gently took my hand in his, intertwin
THIRD PERSON POVJason and Fiona seemed to have exchanged glances, Jason understood the risk at hand but he felt it was better to prove them wrong if the blood oath was the only way out. "We are aware of the dangers," Jason responded calmly. "We've faced countless dangers on our own, and we've seen the horrors the rogues are capable of. We're prepared to face whatever challenges come our way. We're not looking for an easy life, but rather a purposeful one, where we can make a difference and protect those who can't protect themselves." Scott remained skeptical, his eyes still fixed on Jason. "Joining a pack is a lifelong commitment," he cautioned. "It means putting your life on the line for the pack and abiding by its rules and hierarchy. It's not a decision to be taken lightly."Before Scott or Fiona could say anything more, Jason grabbed the knives from the back of Scott's pocket before slicing his palm open. Fiona gasped at the sight of that, Jason had a smirk on his face before
"I'm a rebirth, Scott!" She opened. Scott's eyes widened in surprise at Fiona's revelation. He leaned back in his chair beside her, taking a moment to process her words. The concept of rebirth was not something he had encountered before, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and concern."What do you mean by a rebirth?" Scott asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity. "Can you explain it to me?" He questioned, His mind raced with questions, but he remained attentive, waiting for her to explain.Fiona took a deep breath, her eyes searching Scott's face for any signs of judgment. "A rebirth is someone who has lived multiple lives, reincarnating into different bodies throughout history," she explained. "In each lifetime, a rebirth retains the memories and experiences of her past lives, but their physical appearance and identity change.""I know it sounds unbelievable," Fiona continued, her voice tinged with vulnerability. "But it's a truth I've carried with me for a lo
"I choose you, Scott, just you," she said before kissing his soft and tender pink lips. Scott felt a rush of warmth and excitement as her words filled the air. The room seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in that precious moment. He could hardly believe what he was hearing, and his heart raced with joy.Their lips met, and the world around them ceased to exist. In that instant, time seemed to stand still as they shared a passionate and tender kiss. Scott's lips were soft and inviting, responding eagerly to her touch. It was a connection that went beyond the physical; it was a declaration of love and a promise.His lips began to trace down Fiona's neck as she let out a whimper.Every hair in her body stood as she felt everywhere on fire. The sensation of Scott's lips against Fiona's collarbone sent shivers down her spine. She arched her back slightly, allowing him better access to her sensitive skin. Each touch, each gentle kiss, sent waves of pleasure coursing through h
Fiona had woken up the next morning with a bright smile, she jolted a little bit because she knew Scott's arms were wrapped around her waist. They both couldn't stay far away from each other as she had ended up sleeping in his room once again. Fiona stretched and yawned, savoring the warmth and comfort of Scott's embrace. She turned her head to see his peaceful sleeping face, and a rush of affection washed over her. Their connection was undeniable, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment being in his arms.She smiled warmly before trying to entangle herself to go freshen up but instead she was pulled into a more closer hug."You can't stare at me while I'm asleep and then leave right after, you know that." Scott said his eyes still closed.Fiona chuckled softly at Scott's playful complaint. She nestled closer to him, enjoying the intimate moment they shared.I'm sorry, Scott," she whispered, brushing her fingers lightly across his cheek. "I couldn't resist admiring you
EDEN POVMy heart pounds as both I and Jason walked out of the pack house to discuss by ourselves. I turned to see if he was fast behind me but Instead, I bumped into him, I stumbled back but he reached out and grabbed me by the arm before I could fall.I could feel the flutter in my heart but adjusted myself quickly trying to withdraw any attraction I was feeling. As Jason's touch sent a jolt through my body, I couldn't deny the rush of emotions that surged within me. It was a dangerous game to let my guard down, I composed myself, pulling away gently from his grasp and maintaining a neutral expression. "Thank you for catching me," I said, my voice steady despite the chaos inside me. "We should find a quiet place to talk."Jason nodded, his stormy gray eyes searching mine for any sign of vulnerability. He knew, just as well as I did, that our proximity was dangerous. But the bond between us seemed to pull us together, like magnets defying the laws of nature.We walked in silence fo
