Jayden's POV I open my eyes as a bucket of ice-cold water splashes on my upper body. My body is very weak, from my flesh being torn open, and being healed numerous times. I’m in a large, dark, cold room, bonded to an iron chair.I can’t comprehend what’s happening. The last thing I remember is chasing a vampire and getting knocked out, now I’m here, bonded with chains. Silver chains. Silver is a fatal weapon against werewolves. Silver’s effectiveness is that its silver nitrate is highly soluble and can dissolve into a werewolf's bloodstream, carrying the silver throughout its body and killing it.Whoever bonded me in these chains was certainly not a werewolf, since we can’t touch silver. It must have been someone who knew what silver could do to us.I look around trying to decipher where I am. The movement itself sends sparks of pain through my body. It feels like my whole body is on fire.I hear footsteps approaching, and I look up to see the cold one I had been chasing earlier. He
Jovita’s POVI follow the vampire behind as he leads us to where Jayden is being held captive.The place is filled with many vampires that are all staring at us, but not making any move to attack us. They all look afraid of Tara. Who exactly is she? From the look of things, the vampires seem to know her.The place the vampire is leading us to looks strange. It’s a hill-like area covered by many scattered caves. The atmosphere here is eerie and cold. From the look of things, it’s inhabited by vampires, most of them looking only a few years older than me, while others looked my age. They were numerous.The vampire stops in front of a large cave, quite larger than the others.“This is the place”, he says, pointing at the cave. I turn to stare at Tara, and she nods. “You would go in there and try your best to save him, while I’ll go, and alert the others. It looks like a war might break out soon, and Jayden can’t handle it. He is already too weak”, Tara says.“Okay”, I say though I’m ver
Jovita’s POVA vampire attacks us, and Jayden flings him away, still holding me on his bark. I hear him wince in pain. I know he's still very weak, and I can't imagine the pain he's feeling now. Silver is known for its terrifying effect on werewolves.The other two vampires run towards us, and I'm certain Jayden would not be able to resist them. They're just an inch close to us when a white wolf with a dark brown stripe on his back intercepts them, standing in front of Jayden and me.Jayden heaves a sigh of relief. “Just right on time, Phil, thanks”.Phil? I've never seen Phil's wolf before. He's almost as large as Jayden, and he's a great white too, though the dark brown stripe on his back shows that he's lower than the greatest white, who is sometimes called the grand master.Seth and the other brothers quickly join Phil, forming a shield for Jayden and I. Jayden lowers me to the ground.“You have to run now, they're distracted and they want just me so they won't notice your absenc
Jovita's POV“I can't believe you can't take care of yourself”, a familiar voice said, before the owner of the voice turned to face me. Betty.“You should learn to protect yourself, mate”, Betty says with a bright smile on her face. Her voice is still girly and lovely as I remember.I haven’t Betty in almost a year. Rumours have it that her family left Foxtown, and she relocated with them after rejecting Eric as her mate for reasons I still don’t know about. What was she doing here?She looked different. Taller, more mature, and very much more stunning than I remember. “Thanks. What are you doing here, Betty?”She gave me a lovely smile. “I’m not meant to be in Foxtown anymore? I guess you didn’t miss at all”.“No, I mean we haven’t seen you in a while”.“Yeah. I had a lot to take care of, but I’m back now, for a while. I heard about what’s going on here so my family and I came back to help. A woman named Tara is leading the group of warriors to the battlefield, and my parents joined
Jayden’s POVI turn to see everyone staring at me, including the white brothers and Eric. I had just single-handedly killed more than a hundred vampires, despite the deep wounds I had suffered from the silver chain and all the beating. I'm not sure where all those strengths came from. My body is very light, I'm moving as fast as the wind, and I feel great power surging through me.“Jayden, how did you?” Phil whispered, looking stunned.“Oh man, I'm proud as fuck!” Eric exclaims laughing.“Are you the wolf king or something? You move as fast as three wolves combined”, Conan says.“I will explain when the time is right”, I tell them and walk away. I need to find Uriel. Killing him once and for all would end all this.“Jayden”, an ice-cold, deep voice says, and I know who it is even without turning. Uriel is standing as still and statue-like as ever, not looking like someone who is on a battlefield.“Let's end this”, I say to him, furrowing my brows.“Be nice not to make it uninterestin
Jayden's POVMy eyes flicker open, and I feel a gush of power explode out of me. I phase into my wolf and the force pushes Uriel into one of the sharp rocks. I hear a loud sound like that of the breaking of a bone, followed by a loud groan. I let out a loud growl, and I could feel everywhere around me trembling. I charge at Uriel, aiming for his neck. Breaking the neck of a cold one is the fastest way to eliminate them since they can't be killed by any weapon.I'm just an inch from Uriel when he vanishes into thin air. I'm furious, but I decide to let off Uriel for now and get to Jovita.It's time for her to finally phase, and according to the vision I had, she needs my energy. If she phases on her own, she might die or she might fail which would lead to her remaining a mere human forever. I couldn't risk any of it, so I had to get to her.I turn, and head for the woods. I'm running faster than I ever have, and I can feel the wind and trees rushing past me. My heart is aching and I c
Jayden’s POV I'm angry and surprised to see Jovita is a white wolf, to be honest, I'm more surprised. I've never seen it heard of a female white wolf.She must have known she was a white wolf when she wolfed out in the meadow, and yet she kept it away from me.I stare down at her weak frame and decide to take her to my house first. We would talk about her wolf later, for now, she was weak since it was her second time phasing, and her body was not yet used to it, plus, from the look of things, she was a very powerful wolf.Many thoughts run through my head as I run through the forest with Jovita on my head. It all seems like a movie. Phil is dead. He died trying to save me. He died in my place, and the man who killed him is still out there living freely, I'm still alive, but Phil is dead. How am I going to tell Maddie?My heart is breaking into a million pieces, and seeing Jovita is a white wolf just makes everything complicated. I mind linking Eric, and telling him we need to meet
Jayden's POVI stand in the kitchen for a while thinking about what has just happened. I had challenged my pack to a fight. The rule was simple. When you're an alpha in a royal position, you either pick a Luna befitting enough for the pack or you give up your chance to rule. If you didn't want either, then you had to fight the pack, which was a death wish.Most people picked the option of going for another mate, I'm probably the first who has chosen to fight my pack. My pack was one of the most powerful werewolf kind, and even if the whole Foxtown werewolves were to fight with me, beating my pack was beyond impossible. Yes, I'm screwed up right now. I may be screwed up, but I won't give up on my mate and my throne. I'd fight for them or die trying.It was time to gather my warriors. I must avenge Phil's death, and I must protect my mate.I phase into my wolf and start to run towards the woods, to the place where the brothers and I held our important meetings.The others have phased
Jovita's POVI sigh as I take in the sweet scent of a lovely summer evening. I'm standing by my bedroom balcony watching the flowers widen their pretty faces under the warm glow of the sun. Everything is perfect but not perfect.It's been three months since Jayden and Is coronation.Jayden is out training with Eric and the boys. Conan and Anne are married. Seth finally gave his mate, Crystal a chance and they're married.Eric and Betty's wedding is in a week. Maddie is still single. She vowed to be with no one but Phil.Jayden and Uriel’s fight is in three months. And finally, I'm still pregnant with my son. He has been in my womb for a year and a few months now. My mom comes around often, though I haven't forgiven her. My Dad visits too along with my cousin, Versant.Betty and my mom tell me my child is a special one, so I don't have to be worried about his delayed arrival.“I love this book”, Maddie says to Betty. She's reading a copy of “After”. She and Betty are seated on my bed, w
A year laterJovita's POV“With the power bestowed upon me by our ancestors, I crown Jayden, son of Edward as the ruler of the Golden pack, and as the grand master of the werewolf kind”, Marcus says, placing the crown on Jayden's head amidst cheers.As you might have guessed, we're done with the fighting, and Jayden is being crowned. We're now all sitting in the throne room.We buried Jayden’s father a week ago, and though there's still tension in the air, the fighting has stopped, and the pack is finally willing to accept Jayden as their leader, with me by his side.Marcus turns to me with another crown in his hands, and a murmur starts to go among the crowd.“I still don't understand why we have to accept her as our Luna”, one of the elders in the crowd says.“We won, you're hardly in a position to make suggestions”, Eric says. He is sitting beside Jayden.“You betrayed the pack, Jayden, look at all the havoc you caused”, Kreed says.“I gave my life to the pack, and they took it gle
Jovita's POV“What do you think you're doing?” Maddie asks me as I'm dressing up.We're in the tent that was made for me and my besties, Betty, and I. I'm dressing up to go and join Jayden and the others on the battlefield. Things are getting tougher for them.This whole fight, as much as I hate to admit it, it's all because of me. If Jayden hadn't chosen to be with me, then all this won't be happening. I can't let anyone die because of me. Not anymore.“I'm going to join the others”, I say to Maddie, packing my hair in a high bun.“You’re not going anywhere”, Maddie replies, planting herself in front of me. Betty and Anne went along with the boys to fight, while Maddie stayed behind to protect me.It was agreed I wouldn't fight because of my supposed pregnancy and the fact that I was the major reason the fight was happening in the first place. Killing me would be the best way to win.“I have to help, they're all out there risking their life because of me”, I say to Maddie.“They're n
Jayden’s POV“Are you ready?” Draco asks me.We're standing head-to-head with our opponents. It's time to fight.We're all in our wolf form, waiting for the battle line to be drawn.My uncle is visibly the largest wolf among us, though I'm slightly close to his size since I have two wolves. My Dad who insisted on fighting with us is standing a few feet from us. He is a warrior white wolf so he is almost up to my size. My pack’s council starts to walk towards us. They stop just a stone's throw from us. They're three extremely old great whites that have lived for probably a hundred years. They're revered and feared by all.“I see you went to join your son, Edward”, Castiel, one of the trio says. He is a handsome, well-built man, looking very much like he just reached his fifties. He is the leader of the trio.“He is my blood, and I believe he has a right to choose his love”, my father replies.“The pack comes before love”, Marcus says. He looks a bit older than Castiel.“I've always th
Jayden’s POVI follow my uncle wondering why he wants to see me. He asked me to leave, so why is he asking for me now?My uncle walks outside his castle to a black Phantom parked in front of the building.“Get in”, he orders, taking the wheel.“Where are we going?” I ask.“To see your mother”, he replies.By going to see my mom, my uncle meant going to see my mother's grave. He took her body that day, seven years ago, and he never let us see her again.“Why are you suddenly letting me visit her?” I ask, trying to control the emotions raging inside me.“Because she has been asking of you. She won't let me rest if I don't help you, so I don't have a choice.My uncle runs his hands through his black long hair as he starts the car.“Does she speak to you?” I ask after a while.“Yes. I'm sorry Jayden, for how I treated you all these years. It wasn't your fault, and I should have blamed you, but I was too angry”.I stare at my uncle in disbelief. Was he apologizing?The rest of the drive wa
Jovita's POVI lay down on Jayden's wet shirt anticipating what was to come.Jayden joins me on the shirt and leans himself up on his elbow to hold his weight so that he is lying on his side facing me as I lie on my back. I suddenly feel shy as his eyes wash over me, and I move my hands to cover my body.Jayden sits up and grabs my wrist, planting them on either of my sides. “Don't you ever try to cover your body, not from me”, he says with seriousness in his voice.“I’m just a little bit shy”, I say with a nervous chuckle.“You don't have to be. There are many things I want to do to you, Jovita”, he whispers in my ears, climbing on top of me, his weight supported by his hands. He is in a push-up position. His wet hair drips on my face, and I squirm, laughing.He places a soft kiss on my face before his hands start to explore my body. He starts from my neck, down the valley of my breasts, down to my stomach until he reaches my panties. He pauses for a while, watching me.His hands re
Jovita's POVI wrap my arms around Jayden and rest his head on my shoulder.“It's alright. It's fine”, I whisper, patting his back.“I'm sorry I kept it all away from you. I couldn't bring myself to relieve the pain”, Jayden says between sobs.My heart breaks as I hear him crying, and I forget that I'm angry at him. We haven't been this close since forever, and it feels good to hold him again.“It's fine, Jayden. You have to stop blaming yourself for your mother's death. You aren't the creator, and it was all bound to happen”, I whisper.“If only I had stopped her, things would have been so different”, Jayden replies.“It's the past now, and she would want you to let go of the guilt. She would want you to be happy”.“I don't deserve to be happy, Jovita”.“Of course you do”.“Everything I touch burns. Everyone around me gets heartbroken”.“You know that's not true”.“It's true, Jovita. I'm surprised you still hold on to me. I haven't been the best mate, and I've hurt you badly. You des
Jovita's POVI take off my clothes and head outside to meet Jayden. Thankfully I wore my favorite black undies. I reach the door and then turn back. I'm too shy to go out there to meet him in only a bra and panties. So I wear Jayden's shirt. I can't help but admire how his shirt smells like the rich cologne and the lovely smell I can only describe as Jayden.When I reach the pool, Jayden is already in the water. I can see water falling from his black hair. He smiles and pushes his hair back with one hand, his eyes twinkling with surprise.“Are you going to swim in that?” He asks, his eyes darkening as they take in my body. Impulsively, I tug at the bottom of his black T-shirt, trying to push it as far as it would go.“Yes”, I reply to his question feeling stupid. What was I so shy about? We've slept together about five times now.“Come on, are you shy, mate?” Jayden says, laughing.“I don't know”. I feel helpless right now.Jayden takes his bottom lips between his teeth, and I can s
Jayden's POV“There's no way in hell I'm letting you fight just for me”, Jovita says, pacing back and forth. We are alone in the hallway. The others are still in the room.“I'm fighting for my Luna and my throne”, I correct her.“Does that even make sense to you?” You could always find a new mate and rule”.“Don't you dare say that?”She runs her hands through her hair and bites on her pink bottom lips. “People are going to die, and why, just because of me? I can't bear that”.“It's you I'm choosing no matter what”, I say to Jovita, taking her hands.“Jayden?” Jovita whispers, her eyes glossy from the tears that are building up.“Please don't refuse me, Jovita. Tell me you want me too, tell me you want us”. I'm desperately waiting for an answer now.“I want you too, I want us, but I don't want anybody getting hurt because of me. You should do what your park wants. It's much better since your uncle refuses to help”.“I'm going to do what I want”.“Then let's not fight. I don't care abo
