J A D EIt was finally the day of the ball and I had concluded that I wasn’t going. No dress, the bruise on my face and the anger I was feeling deep in my chest was enough reason for me to sit my butt in the house.I didn’t want to see anyone, so I locked my bedroom door and threw the key somewhere in the closet. I would have a hard time looking for it, but for now I didn’t care one bit. I couldn’t sleep all through the night and finally decided to get up from bed at 6am after hours of staring at the ceiling blankly. I finally decided to wash my body, the events from last night still replaying in my head. I couldn’t believe the man I had trusted with everything in me could do such a monstrous thing to me. What did I do to deserve such treatment? Was his good guy appearance all a facade to fool me into falling in love with him? To fall in love with a side of him that doesn’t and never existed?I had trusted Markov and that had been my biggest mistake. He was my mate. He was supposed
J A D EHe walked closer and sat beside me on the bed, staring into my eyes. I looked away, refusing to meet his gaze."You're falling in love with me."I snapped. "I said, was! Not anymore, Markov. Never. Ever. Again. Please, leave. Just please, leave me alone. Let me heal. Please."He stood to his feet, sighing and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him. As soon as he was gone, the dam of tears suddenly broke and I was bawling my eyes out.I curled myself on the bed, hugging my knees tightly. I wanted to be away from here. I wanted to forget about everything. I just wanted to forget.I cried and cried, not stopping for a second. My heart was aching and my soul was torn.I had never felt such pain in my entire life.I had never felt this hurt.Not even from the maltreatment I had received from Mason and his father. The last time I had cried like this was the time I found out about my parents' death.I heard a single knock on my door and immediately looked up, thinking he
J A D EMy eyes were glued to the woman staring back at me from the mirror. Her eyes were hollow and dull with their light all lost. Her makeup failed horribly at hiding how heartbroken and pathetic she felt.A sigh escaped both our lips as we fought back the tears in our eyes. My eyes fell to her neck to gaze upon the necklace hanging around her pale neck.My fingers found their way to it. Clutching and tugging but not daring to pjull, even though I desperately wanted to do so. It would only amount to more suffering and Mason’s wrath. He was a psychopath and I feared a slap against my cheek would be the least he’d do, once he found out that his bride-to-be, rejected his gift. “You look beautiful.” One of the maids said as she glanced at me with a genuine smile on her lips. They looked like they were mocking me and not sincere. “Mason is lucky to have you.” I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. They were having fun with my misery. “Thank you.” I couldn’t help but voice out in a rasp
J A D EThere’s always a point in time when one can only endure so much before you lose it and crack. The cold air brushed my fur as I ran past the pack houses. I had ripped my wedding gown before shifting into my wolf form and diving down the window. The sun was setting and my white fur was being stained by dust.(Stop!) I heard suddenly through the pack’s mindlink. My heart flew to my throat as I turned back to see the wolves fast on my heels. All of them at the beta ranks as they chased after me. Their sizes were enormous with their golden-colored eyes staring right back at me. I ignored the warning from the mind link, as I headed for the forest up ahead. My heart pounding as they gained at me, inching closer with every pacing minute.(Please, don’t chase me. I can’t marry him. He will kill me!) I pleaded through the mind link but they didn’t seem to care. They chased after me regardless of my pleas, determined to catch me at any cost and take me back to him.(Stop right now, Ja
J A D EMy eyes fluttered open at the sound of the chirping birds. I could feel a migraine coming and I sat up. The events of the previous night, flooding in at once. I let my eyes adjust to the brightness, taking in the details of the room. It was quite large, with the walls painted in white. A chandelier hanging from the ceiling, its bulbs glowing.The bed was king sized and soft. The white duvet draped over me to keep warm, was a bit cold at touch. There was a dressing mirror, a wardrobe and a parted white curtain. An emerald green rug on the floor and the scent of fragrance hit my nostrils.The room not only looked fancy but also smelt like one. It was nothing like back at the pack and I’m glad it wasn’t. Back there, I was made to share a room with six maids and every night, we’d fight for the best spot to sleep on the floor.I peeled the duvet off me as i wondered where I was. Most importantly, I wondered who changed my dress!“How did I get here?” I asked myself as I stared dow
M A R K O V“I killed her parents.” I gritted in anger, grabbing an antique on the table and hauling it at the wall. I watched as it collided with the wall and broke.My beta, stood across the table, a slight frown on his face, as he listened. He tried to calm me down severally but he knew it wasn’t yielding any efforts and was tired.“How can…how can…” I said, frustration coursing through my veins as I stared at my hands, my claws extracted. “I’m a fucking monster!” I swiped at the table, cutting it into a clean half and watching each part of it, colliding to the floor. I felt a palm on my shoulder and I stared at my beta, with my eyes turning into a crimson red.“Enough Markov.” He said, with his eyes golden in color as a deep frown settled on his face. I could feel him applying pressure to his hand.If it were another beta, his head would have been sliced clean from the rest of his body. However, he was no ordinary beta. He was my howling brother and his family were friends to min
J A D EAs soon as Markov left, the maid announced I needed to take my bath while she handed me fresh towels.She proceeded to follow me into the bathroom to my greatest surprise. I stared at her through the mirror and she stared right back, still standing.“Uhm…” I started, clearing my throat. “Are you going to stay here while I bathe or something because that is not happening and I doubt your Alpha will want his guest bathed by a stranger while he is not around, let alone, a female stranger.”She let out a chuckle and shook her head, a smile gracing her beautiful features. She was truly beautiful, in every sense of the word.Her hair was blonde and wavy, stopping at the middle of her back. She had a pale complexion, with her lips plump and pink. Her eyes were a blue ocean with her cheekbones high. She had a perfect body that could match her face and she was tall.I could only imagine her to be in her late thirties or early forties.She laughed and it was like music to my ears. It was
J A D EWe arrived at the dining room and she stopped. She told me to enter and she would wait outside for me.I was nervous, but I needed to push it down. I inhaled and exhaled, calming myself and composing myself.I didn’t need him to sense how scared and worried I was. I needed to be calm and collected.I turned the knob and walked in.The dining room was big. The walls were white and had two paintings hung on either side of the wall.At the far end of the room, was a long wooden table.He sat at the end of the table, a glass in his hand. He had his sleeves rolled up and his shirt was unbuttoned a little, revealing the tattoo on his chest and arm. He didn't look like he was in a good mood, by the looks on his face.I cleared my throat and he raised his gaze. A smile replaced his frown as he saw me. He stood up, his eyes roaming over my body, taking in the sight of me.He was speechless, and it made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.I smiled, walking closer and he
