Jayden’s POVI picked up the book on her reading desk “Passions of Emma”, as I waited for her to change. I smiled. I didn't know she was the book type. Jovita and I were more alike than I thought.When she finally stepped out, my eyes scanned her body, while she blushed. Fuck, I could never get enough of her.“Let's go”, she said, leading the way.I laughed, grabbing her slim waist and pulling her to me. I scooped her into my arms, surprising both her and myself. I could barely think straight when it came to her. I couldn't remember ever loving anyone this way.She kept protesting, but I ignored her, and only put her down when we reached the kitchen.“So what are you making?” I asked, already missing the feel of her soft body on my arms.“Patience Jayden, you can have her all night”, I chastised myself.“Chicken stir fry and meatloaf. It's quite late so I'm not making much”, she replied, taking out a pan. I still couldn't believe she could cook and I was kinda looking forward to tast
Jovita's POVHis kiss is slow, passionate, and teasing, sending me shivers.His mouth feels soft and warm just as always. His warm tongue runs over my lower lips before he sucks on it. I let out a moan involuntarily. My body is already ignited, and I feel that hunger in my lower belly. I've never felt this way before. This way I feel with Jayden.He cups my flushed cheeks, staring deeply into my eyes. His hazel eyes have taken a darker shade.His hands move to my hips, tugging at my shorts. His eyes flashed with amusement as he read the shyness on my face.“I could stop if you want me to”, he mumbles.I shake my head.“Say it”.“I don't want…nt you… to stop”.“You don't want me to stop what?”Gosh, he's driving me crazy. I don't know why I was I'm shy. We've been this intimate like twice now, yet I'm still so nervous.“I don't want you to stop what you're doing”.He chuckles, then pulls back a little to kiss my lips softly. “Jovie”, he breathes, and brings his lips back to mine, his t
Jovita's POV“Those yoga pants look a little bit too sexy”, Jayden said when I came out.His eyes were shameless raking my body, and there was a soft grin on his face, showing off his deep dimples.“It's quite okay”, I protested, walking towards the door. There was nothing wrong with my pants.“We're going to meet up with the boys at the end. I don't want them staring at what's mine”. I felt my cheeks heat up at his last words, “What's mine”.“Why would they stare?”He looked at me like I had gone crazy.“The real question is; why won't they stare?”“I see nothing wrong with my pants, ladies jog and run in stuff like this. I'm not changing it”.“Fine, but if I see any of the guys’ eyes on you, I'm allowed to smash his face right?”I cringed, rolling my eyes. “Whatever. Your jealousy is unhealthy”, I said, running out the door before he could catch up with me.He was beside me in a second, his arms around my waist.“I'll take that as a compliment”, he mumbled. “Can you run?”I rolled
Jayden’s POVI angrily push away the grasses in my path, as I search the forest for Jovita.When I finished my conversation with Jade and returned to the group, I was informed that she had left, and Seth had followed her. How sweet.My hands are balled to a fist, and I'm ready to smash his face on the nearest tree if I see him lay even his fingertips on her.Jade had just informed me that my father and the counsel wanted me back home with Eric. It was their second order, and I knew in a short while, the third would come. I couldn't defy the third. I couldn't defy the Alpha's order.Eric and I had finally told the white brothers about our departure. They were saddened but agreed to let us go only after we promised to return.Eric and Betty were back together. She probably came back to her senses, and after a great deal of pleading, Eric decided to give her a chance, and now they would have to part soon. She didn't take the news happily, but she promised to keep in touch.On the other h
Jovita's POVI'm fucken pissed off with this whole lying thing. Each time I try to understand him, he seems to push me out. How the fuck do I know him when all he does is keep secrets. Plus I'm super pissed about how Jade was him, and the fact that he didn't see anything wrong with it.“The problem is that you only see your pain. It's not always about you!” I'm yelling right now. I have to keep it down before my nosy neighbours come over.“Just cut to the fucken chase, babe, what exactly are you angry about?” His voice is low, and his eyes hold a glint of impatience like he's tired of our conversation even before it had begun.“I'm angry that you left with Jade, I'm angry that you don't see it fit to share things with me. I'm always lost when it comes to you. It's like each time I come close, you find me a way to push me away”.“I left with Jade because she had an important message from the pack, nothing that serious”. I could see he was purposely ignoring the conversation and shuttin
Jovita's POV I check my leather wristwatch for the third time. My besties are almost thirty minutes late, and I'm getting irritated. Maddie had asked us to meet at our favourite restaurant, the Queens, for a nice lunch, and to catch up on the latest happenings. I wasn't really in the mood to leave my house, but Maddie would not hear of it. I kinda woke up in a very bad mood.Jayden woke up and apologized for yesterday's argument, and for returning so late, but he won't still talk. What's wrong with him? Why does he have nightmares?I want answers to these questions, but I can't get them. He won't talk and I won't ask, because I'm ignored each time I ask.I'm getting quite frustrated with this whole thing. I'm not sure how long I can keep up with this.Jayden and I have not yet mated, so we don't share the mate bond which means I could still reject him as my Alpha, and he could reject me too. I hoped it would never come to that, but at this rate, I might just quit.I'm still brooding
Jovita's POVBetty rolled her eyes, and adjusted her hair, though it didn't need the adjustment.“It's simple, make him want you”, she said.I look at her like she has gone crazy. If she was talking about sex, then my answer is a total no. I don't want to have sex yet.I know I'm nineteen, quite old enough, and most of my age mates, including my besties, were not in the virginity club, but I wanted to keep myself until I was sure. I kind of believe that it is a gift I would give to my mate when the time is right, or rather when we are ready to bond forever. “I'm not asking you to sleep with him, I'm just asking you to make him want you”, Betty intercepted, like she had read my mind.“How do you know what I was thinking?”“I'm a mind-reader”.“Seriously?”“No. I just guessed it's quite obvious from your facials.“Okay. So how do I make him want me?”“It's simple, play the game. Besides, you should know sleeping with him is the easiest solution”.“How?”“The mate bond. Once you guys bo
Jayden’s POV When I open the door, I notice the room is dimly lit. Jovita is surely prepared to play with my senses tonight. I look around the room and find her sitting in front of her dressing mirror, brushing her long black. I'm still trying to compose myself, when she stands up, places her leg on the chair, and starts applying ointment on her skin. “He…y”, I stutter, unsure of myself. “Hey”, she replies throwing me a charming, dimpled smile, and focusing her attention on what she's doing. I take a step closer, then stop, thinking about my next move. I know this is a trap, but hell, this is one alluring trap. “I'm sorry for how I acted yesterday”. “How did you act yesterday?” She gives me a quizzical look, coming to sit on the bed. Damn, I knew this was going to be hard. “I mean, I shouldn't have reacted that way when I saw you with Seth because I left you in the first place, and staying away all day was not good either”. “Oh, that. Why're you apologizing now though?” Her
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
