Jovita's POV“Hey Dad, it's been a long time”, I say to my dad. We're standing in his throne room which is weirdly empty except for us.My father is wearing a long, purple robe and his long silver hair is Left to fall across his shoulders. He looks handsome, and there is a soft smile playing on his face, though I notice that the smile does not reach his eyes.“Jovita, my child, I've missed you dearly, how have you been?” My dad asked, covering the distance between us and pulling me into a bear hug. I notice there is a scroll in his hands.“Is something wrong father?” I ask when we pull away.“Everything is fine, but Jayden needs help. I had a vision about him, and it wasn't good”.“I don't understand, he is perfectly fine”, my voice is already getting panicked.“He is fine for now, but he won't be for long”.“What's going on, father?”“I don't have much time to explain. I'm currently in your mind, and you're not yet strong enough to hold out. Plus your mother would know I came, and sh
Jayden’s POVI slow down to a halt, breathing a little. I have been running for an hour now. I'm not sure where I am, but I'm sure it's somewhere on the outskirts of Foxtown. I had been super fast today, covering an impressive distance in just an hour.I'm feeling elated this morning. Jovita has finally agreed to give me a chance and she spent the night in my bed. What else could I ask for?She had barely spoken to me since my return, and I had started getting scared that she would never forgive me. What was that about going on a date with Seth? I definitely won't allow it. Not like I could stop Jovita when her mind was made up, anyway.At least I had a chance back with her, that was all that mattered. I would make her know, that she's only mine!I check my Rolex wristwatch, the time is just 8:00 am. I'm to meet up with the boys soon. We've decided to up our hunt as the killing is getting more frequent, and things are getting out of hand.It's obvious the killings are done by vampir
Jovita's POV“Where in the world have you been?” I ask Jayden, anger surging through me. I was so scared.“Chill out, mate. I only went for a run, and then met up with the brothers afterwards”, Jayden said with a smirk.“Is this funny to you?”“Are you angry, mate?” He asked with a smile on his handsome face. His deep dimples made him more handsome, and I couldn't stop staring.I reminded myself that I had to stay angry.“I have been worried sick about you!” I yell. Or rather, I want to yell, because Jayden has covered the distance between us, and his hands are on my waist, pulling me towards him. “We're you that worried about me mate? A while ago you were ignoring me”. His words made me cringe as his hands were trailing cycles on my bare arms.“I was that worried”.“Then show me”, he whispers in my ear.I'm about to protest, but I stop halfway as Jayden's lips capture mine. His kiss was passionate and hot, and I could feel every resistance I had melting.I'm still in his bedroom, so
Jayden’s POVI opened my eyes to see Jovita raise herself on one elbow and lean over me to kiss the side of my face and trail kisses along my jawline. Then she kissed my mouth. Her free hand pressed against my shoulder until I turned to lie on my back.By fuck, I thought, my interest piqued, she was going to make love to me.By the time we had reached the bed earlier, I had been so bursting with desire for her she for me, I had judged that I had proceeded without delay to the main feast. She, it seemed, was more disciplined.She was also as skilled as any courtesan-though no, perhaps that was not quite so. Maybe it was just that I was very ready to be aroused by her. However it was, she had overcome the modesty that had caused her to hesitate to remove my boxers earlier. Jovita's hands roamed all over me, stroking, caressing, pausing, rubbing, teasing in all the right places, and her mouth and her tongue and her teeth followed suit.I lay still for a while, my hands flat on the mat
Jovita's POV I give my reflection in the mirror one last look.I look lovely if I must say. I'm wearing a floor-length peach ball gown that perfectly complements my skin. My curled hair is packed in a high ponytail, and a few curls are left freely to fall. I applied light makeup and put on matching silver jewellery and heels.In case you're wondering, I'm going to a ball. We rarely get one here in Foxtown, and when the invitation came, I was so excited.One of the elders of the royal families of the Ancient Ones, Maddie's pack, was throwing a ball in honour of his daughter who had found her alpha and was tying the knot soon. According to the rumours, it was Mr Musk's favourite daughter, Becky, who was getting married.“You aren't going with Seth, are you?” Maddie asks, giving me a warning gaze.As you've probably figured out, my grumpy best friends are here with me, and by here, I mean in my small old room. They're scolding me for deciding to go to the ball with Seth. What about Ja
Jovita's POV“Are you guys planning to be a thing or? You've hanging around quite often”, Phil asked, irritation clear in his voice.Maddie shoots him a dark look, but he ignores her. His angry eyes are fixed on Seth.We're currently sitting around a table. Me, my besties, and the white brothers. Jayden is not with us though.“Is someone hungry?” Conan asks, trying to dissolve the tension in the air. He beckons dramatically for a waiter, making everyone on the table laugh out loud. Conan was one hell of a jovial fellow.The waiter came by, took our orders and walked away.“Does bouillabaisse taste nice? I heard it's a special French cuisine. My Mom couldn't stop raving about it when she returned from her trip to France two weeks ago”, Anna said. She had just asked the waiter to bring her a serving of bouillabaisse, though she wasn't even sure what it looked like.“It's delicious and filling. The meal has always been Jayden's favourite”, Eric replied, chuckling.At the mention of Jayde
Jayden’s POVI let out a deep breath, trying to hold my anger. I know I shouldn't be angry, but I can't help it. I told her it was going to be okay, but here am feeling dreadful.I take a sip from my third glass of vodka. I'm starting to feel a bit unsteady, but I don't care. The pain won't go away.I wonder if I should go up to Jovita and snatch her away from Seth, but I don't want to make a scene. I don't mind feeding Seth's handsome face a few punches, but Jovita won't want that, and the last thing I want to do is to make her angry.I start to head for the rooftop on the fifth floor, which is where I currently am. I need some fresh air, or I might as well choke to death. My wolves keep screaming in my head, making it more unbearable.As I edge closer to the rooftop, I start to perceive a familiar strawberry smell, and I hastened my footsteps. Jovita is here.When I reach the rooftop, I perceive another scent, aside from Jovita's, and I start to feel shudders running through my spine
Jayden’s POV“Jayden, can you hear us? Jayden?” I heard a familiar voice ask with a quivering voice that sounded like he was crying. Phil.I felt a strong arm pulling me, and a shock of excruciating pain shot through my entire frame.“What happened?” Eric yells.“Please say something, Seth!” Conan yells.“Jayden please, hang in there, you're going to be okay”, Phil says.“Is the girl okay? The doctor said she's still unconscious”, an unfamiliar, female voice says.Jovita! Is she okay? Is she alive? My eyes flash open, and I try to get on my feet, but fall back immediately as the feeling of intense pain spreads through me. I hear my Lycan whimper in my head. I can't hear my other wolf.“Is Jovita alive?” I ask Phil.He wipes tears off his cheeks. “Please don't try to get up, I think you hurt your legs, and you broke a few bones too”, Phil says, gently pushing me back on the ground.“Is she alive, please just let me know”, I beg Phil.“She's fine, but she's still unconscious from the sh
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
