Justina's Point of View I listened to Chace's story without interrupting him. I was shocked at what he had told me, especially about his father. I never knew Alpha Mark was so evil. He seemed to care about the Pack and was always nice to me. I never would have guessed he was abusing Chace's mom and him. "Why would Alpha Mark mistreat you and your mom? He was always nice to everyone and took care of the Pack," I asked. "He cared for his Pack, but he hated being mated with my mom," Chace said "But they were Mates," I replied "They were not Fated Mates, Justina. They were chosen mates," Chace replied, shocking me. Then I thought about it. Normally when someone loses their Mate, they are very sad and don't want to be around anyone. The pain they feel from losing their Mate can kill them, or they can become crazy from losing their Mate, but Luna Greta seems fine. In fact, she seems to be happier than when Alpha Max was alive. "That is why she isn't hurting. They aren't fated, Mates,"
Justina's Point of ViewAs I left Chace's office, I couldn't stop thinking about what Chace had told me. The thing that hurt me the most was what he told me about Alpha Mark and my mom. Not only did they date before my mom met my dad, but Alpha Mark was behind my father's death. "Hey, Sweetheart. I was wondering where you went," My mom said as I walked down the hallway. "Hey," I said, not feeling like speaking to her. I was upset at my mom and Justin keeping everything away from me."Are you okay?" My mom asked"Yeah, mom. I am just tired. I am going to go to my room and rest. It's been a long day," I said"Okay, Sweetheart. I will check on you later," My mom said, and I headed to my room. "Justina, wait up," I heard Courtney say, and she walked over to me. "Are you okay? It seems like something is bothering you?" Courtney asked"Justina," Justin said and walked over to me as well. When he noticed my facial expression, she started to frown. "Chace told you, didn't he?" Justin asked
Chace's Point of ViewI watched as Justina left my office. I wanted to stop her, but I decided it would be better to let her have some time to herself. I had told her a lot and knew she needed time to think. I also knew I shouldn't have kissed her without her consent. I knew she was upset with me, and I needed to apologize to her. I decided I would apologize to her in the morning before school. Hopefully, she will let me take her to school tomorrow. I decided to keep myself busy and work on Pack Work. Since Justina had come home, I hadn't been working on it as much as I should have been. I called Alpha Tom, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, because I had canceled my appointment with him a few days before. He wanted to talk to me about a treaty with our Packs. Alpha Tom and my father didn't get along for some reason. I picked up my phone, happy that he was willing to speak to me after I had canceled our meeting. We discussed a treaty, and I agreed to come to the Blood Moon Pack in tw
Justina's Point of View"What are you two doing here?" I asked as I walked over to where Courtney, Justin, and Chace were. "We wanted to check on you and Courtney to make sure you were alright," Chace said. "I am not weak and don't need you checking up on me," I said angrily. Chace was acting like I was too weak to go anywhere without him. I didn't need him acting all protective over me. Not after the way he treated me. "I know you are not weak, and I don't want you to get upset with me. I only want to protect you," Chace said. I hated that a part of me was happy hearing his confession. He had no right to act as if he was looking out for me."I don't need you to protect me. I can protect myself. Stop acting like you care about me, especially after how you treated me because it won't work," I said. There was no way I was going to let him fool me into believing he really cared about me. I knew he didn't want me. He felt I was a burden on him, and that was why he used Danielle to make
Justina's Point of ViewJustin, My mom, and I walked to the Fighting Field for training after eating breakfast. "Hey, Justina," Courtney said as we walked over to her. She was sitting standing next to Luna Greta."Hello, Courtney, Good morning Luna Greta," I said"Oh, Dear. Call me Greta. We both know who the real Luna is now," Luna Greta said, shocking me. Then she looked at my mom. "We still going shopping today?" Luna Greta or Great asked"Of course," My mom said, and they headed to sit in the stands. I was happy they seemed to be becoming good friends. Greta didn't hang out with the Pack Members when Chace's father was alive that much. I thought it was because she would rather spend time with her Mate but after hearing what Chace told me. I was sure it was because Alpha Mark wouldn't let her.My eyes landed on Chace, who was standing in the fighting field. I hated how hot he looked to me in just a pair of blue shorts. He didn't have a shirt on, so I could see his muscular chest. I
Justina's Point of ViewChace walked over to where Justin and I were sitting, and my heart fluttered. He looked better than ever with only a pair of black slacks and a blue button-up shirt that did nothing to hide his muscular chest. His blue eyes were staring into my green ones, and I swear my heart skipped a beat. I didn't understand how he could have such an effect on me even after the way he had treated me."Hey, Justin, Chace said"Hey, Man," Justin replied, and Chace's eyes returned to mine."We need to talk, Love," Chace said "I know," I replied"I need to get to class. I'll see you two later," Justin said "Thanks, Man," Chace said before Justin walked away."Come on," Chace said, holding his hand out for me to take. I shocked him and myself when I took it without hesitation. "Where are we going," I asked as he opened the passenger side door for me."To get something to eat. We both haven't been eating properly for the last few days," Chace said. He shocked me when he leaned
Justina's Point of View It had been three hours since I last saw Chace, and I couldn't stop thinking about him. It was crazy how much I had missed him in such a short period of time. The bond was growing every day, and it scared me. I knew I wouldn't be able to resist him for long. My cell phone beeped, signaling someone was messaging me. I picked up my cell off the nightstand and smiled when I saw it was a message from Chace. "Hello, Love. I am sorry, but something important came up, and I won't be able to watch that movie with you," Chace said, making me frown. I was looking forward to spending time with him again. I knew he was the Alpha and had a lot of responsibilities. "It's fine. I understand you are busy. Maybe some other time," I messaged him back. "So, you are not upset?" Chace asked "No. You are the Alpha, and I know that comes with a lot of work," I replied. "Thanks, Love. Maybe I can take you to school in the morning," Chace said. I thought about if it would be a goo
Justina's Point of View"Thanks for breakfast," I said as Chace pulled up to the school. "Thanks for coming with me," Chace replied. He got out of the car and walked over to open my door. Over to open hand out for me to grab, and I n my door. He"I will come to pick you up after school," Chace said and pulled me into a hug. "Okay," I said, hugging him back. "I will miss you," Chace said and kissed the top of my head. "I will miss you too," I said, and Chace started to smile. I didn't mean to tell him I would miss him, but it came out."It makes me happy knowing you will miss me. Goodbye Love," Chace said"Goodbye," I replied, and he walked back to his car. I watched as he drove away from the school. Once he left, I walked into the school and to my locker. "So, it looks like you and my brother are finally getting along," Courtney said as she walked up to me. I was getting my books at my locker when she approached me."Yeah, we are getting there," I replied"I am happy because he h
