Jessy’s POV: I flipped my eyes open and the ease I felt was one that I was starting to get used to. Coming here was a good idea and I was starting to feel it. I flipped open my eyes and the darkness in the room greeted me. Although I didn’t have a wolf my senses were still pretty sharp and I easily adjusted to the darkness in the room. I knew that it was still pretty early but I felt rested enough already and so I sat up in bed before reaching to turn on the lamp beside the bed. The dim lights flooded the room and I pulled my phone out of charging before going through my texts. There were a couple from my brothers and my father had also sent me a message, he was doing better than I expected and I was impressed that he was actually letting me be. I scrolled further down and found a text from Stephen. It was a simple message asking how I was doing and it made me smile. I had gone to bed earlier last night and that was why I missed the text in the first place but since I started wor
Jessy The night air caressed my skin, sending a light shiver down my spine. The view was very beautiful, coming second only to the view of the sunset from the training ground. I felt Stephen’s hand snake around my waist, tugging me closer and I let myself melt into his embrace, taking a subtle sniff of his cologne. There was an air of calmness around him, one that felt different from anything I had ever experienced and I found it soothing. His entire aura was different; not intimidating or dark, just different. “Thank you.” I said, peeling my eyes off the night view to look at him. His smile was still intact, and his eyes glistened with a boyish charm, “For..?” He arched a brow questioningly as he spoke. I shrugged lightly, “Everything I guess, you’ve been so sweet and… you always show me the best view.” His fingers danced absently on my stomach as I spoke and he chuckled at my words, the vibration causing me to close my eyes briefly, my smile widening as I let myself enjoy this
JessyThe café was almost empty, save for a few occupied tables. I bent over, humming a familiar tune as I wiped a table. The sound of the bell rang out faintly in my mind, announcing the entrance of someone. I straightened, turning as soon as the customer's chair scraped across the floor, I looked up from where I stood and locked eyes with Stephen.He was sitting, facing me with a wide grin etched on his face. His hair seemed slightly disheveled but for some weird reasons, I found that adorable. Stephen got to his feet, placing a pair of dark shades on the table. “You’re on time.” I greeted, walking into his open arms as I soaked in the warmth of his embrace.He stole a glance at the leather piece strapped to his wrist, “Actually, I’m seven minutes early.” His lips brushed against my hair as he spoke and I smiled. He had texted me earlier in the day to ask if we could hang out at my place right after work hours and I had said yes. Lila wouldn’t be home just yet and I could use a l
Jessy The rays of sunshine filtered into the room, illuminating it. I stirred, wincing slightly as I searched blindly for my phone. It was just a little past 7AM, the park run wasn’t until another two hours and Stephen was coming to pick me up.I stretched lazily as I made my way out of my bed, slipping my feet into a comfortable pair of slippers before heading out of the room, “Lila?” I called, stifling a yawn.My voice echoed throughout the house but no response came. I knocked lightly on her door twice, before pushing it open and I frowned. Her bed was made, she didn't sleep in it.I felt my heart sink into my stomach, an anxious ache budding in my temple as I scurried back to my room in search of my phone.I called Lila immediately I picked up the device, but it went straight to voicemail. Panic set in and I could feel my fingers trembling.‘Call me…please.’ I typed quickly, hitting send and watching the message for a while.I called multiple times, all with the same result.
Jessy’s POV:“She still doesn’t have her wolf?”“How sad is that?”“I wonder how she can walk with her head held high when she clearly doesn’t belong here.” The whispers around me were enough to drive me crazy and I blinked quickly to stop the tears that were threatening to fall, while increasing my pace towards the field where the rest of my family was gathered.This has been happening for years, since the night of my eighteenth birthday where I was supposed to unite with my wolf but that had not happened. It had driven the entire pack crazy and the rumors and conspiracy theories had began circulating and never stopped till this day.I was after all the golden girl, the daughter of the mighty Alpha Greyson and Luna Freya. Two of the most powerful people in the world, it was a wonder to everyone, how I had Alpha blood and instead of a strong powerful wolf I was left with nothing and every day since that night, living in this pack had been hell. No one touched me, they wouldn’t, not
Jessy’s POV: “Hi uncle Smith!” I called out when I found the man sat on the table already piling his plate high with food. “There’s my favorite niece.” He called, standing up from the table to pull me into a hug. “I’m the only niece you have Uncle Smith.” I reminded him, accepting the hug that he offered and he let out a loud laughter. “That’s why you’re my favorite I’ve missed you so much, do you know how difficult it’s been this last week with no one to gossip with? Hi Lila, it’s good to see you again.” Uncle Smith said and I giggled, taking my seat at the table. It was amazing the kind of energy the man possessed sometimes, he could hold a conversation with everyone at the table and be able to keep up with every single one. How he did it? I could never know, but I loved having him around, he was a burst of fresh air always and I genuinely enjoyed his company. “How did the rest of your day go baby girl?” My father asked and I nodded my head making sure to swallow before I resp
Five Years Earlier: “Smile!” My mother said excitedly and I offered a small smile, one that grew wider when Simon draped his hands over my shoulder and gave the biggest smile. My mother clicked the camera to take the picture and I turned towards her completely horrified. “Mom! I wasn’t ready, I was still watching Simon smile his weird smile.” I said rushing after the woman that was already scrolling through the pictures with a wide smile on her face. “Oh, it doesn’t matter honey. These are so cute, you both have to come in soon so you can cut your cake, okay? I’m going to show these to your father.” She said and before I could respond she was already heading back into the house. “Happy birthday once again Jess. Sorry I got here late, Emilia spent hours trying to pick out the perfect fit.” Simon apologized and I shook my head, chuckling a little bit. “It’s okay, I’m really glad you made it in time. I barely get to see you these days and it’s really sad.” I said, smiling when Simo
Jessy’s POV:It really was him, he looked like a completely different person. He was all man now, gone was the lanky boy with a weird smile that was in my sixteenth birthday picture. He no longer looked like the nerdy teenager that knew something about everything and screamed nerd from his appearance alone. His body was all filled out now, he was taller with broad shoulders and strong looking arms, he had changed so much but not just in his appearance, it was also in the way he carried himself, it felt so different being around him.“Nice to meet you Jessy. It’s good to have you here.” Simon said, offering his hand for a shake with a smile on his face. I frowned, was he really going to pretend like he didn’t know me? I thought, but I didn’t say anything, accepting the hand that he stretched towards me. The moment our fingers touched, I snatched mine away quickly, it felt as if I had been burned and not in a good way at all but when I looked at the man before me and he didn’t look af
