Descendant of the moon goddess. My Luna...
Jovita's POVI sat at the edge of the dresser still trying to catch my breath. What had just happened? I wondered.I could feel my heart palpitating wildly, and I slowly traced my fingers to my lips. It was swollen and sore.I had never seen Jayden that way. He looked like he had been about to devour me, his hazel eyes turning a shade close to fiery gold. And suddenly he stilled and walked away.Did he lose his appetite? Didn't he find me appealing enough? I pondered, a little heartbroken. I have heard stories of mates who didn't want their mates.I dressed hastily, wincing a little bit when I felt a slight pain around my neck region.I pulled my hair into a rough bun and carefully examined the region. I could see it was a bit red. And what was that I noticed? Were does… oh my gosh, are those teeth marks?Well, you might be wondering, what's there to be so happy about a simple hickey? Well, this isn't just one simple hickey, Jayden just marked me.Marking one's mate, especially by the
Descendant of the moon goddess. The leader of their kind...
Jayden’s POV“Good day, Mr Gibson”, I said to the ancient storekeeper.“Jayden, you return”, he said with a smile, showing a rotten set of incomplete teeth. “An…d with one of our… own”, he stammered, staring at Jovita with widened eyes.What did he mean by that statement? Jovita was a werewolf, and Mr Gibson was surely not, though I couldn't place what he was yet.“She has our mark, though she seems to be a half-breed, and from what I see, she bears a very special and powerful mark”, Mr Gibson said in awe.Jovita looked startled and perplexed.“What's he saying?” She mumbled.“I know my kind when I see them”, Mr Gibson insisted, edging towards Jovita.She cringed, and I quickly placed myself between them.“I would not hurt my kind”, Mr Gibson said. But he turned and went back to his stand. “What brings you here today?” He asked, business-like again.“We're looking for books on cold ones with powers”, I said.“That way”, Mr Gibson said, pointing to a hallway lined with dangerous-lookin
Descendant of the moon goddess. Who exactly was I?
Jovita's POVI woke to see myself in a bright room that looked more like an ancient, gorgeous castle. I was standing in front of a strange-looking group of people sitting in a circle. I was in the middle of the circle.The castle was made of pure gold that glimmered in the morning sun, that bathed the room.The floor was made of something I suspected to be diamonds, from the way it sparkled.The castle walls were adorned with beautiful paintings and gorgeous-looking floor-to-ceiling windows. I let out a gasp, taking in the beauty of the entire room.The people in the room were dressed in different shades of black. Some wore modern outfits, but it was all black. They all looked youthful and beautiful.I noticed a particularly stunning woman sitting beside an equally handsome young man. They looked a little over thirty, but I was certain they were far older than that.They were sitting on a golden throne each, and their clothes spoke of royalty and power.“Where am I?” I asked in a tre
Descendant of the moon goddess. I always get what I want...
Jayden's POVI sat at the top of the tree, waiting for the rest of the pack. I had summoned them to a meeting. I needed to tell them about what I had just discovered.My mind flashed to Jovita, and each time, I tried to shake the thoughts of her off my mind, it returned.I heard a shuffling of leaves, and in a moment Phil was beside me on the branch of the tree.He was dressed in a casual dark-yellow linen shirt, white shorts, and white Nike Air Force. He looked boyishly handsome with his brown, long hair packed in a bun.“How did you get up here so fast?” I asked.“I'm an animal guy”, he said with a wink.“Where are the others?”“They're on their way, I caught sight of Conan on my way here, though we followed different paths”.“Okay”, I replied nonchalantly.Eric and I had not spoken since the conversation about Luna. He left the house and has not returned ever since. I guessed that he was staying with one of the brothers.It hurt a lot to think about it. Eric had been my best friend
Descendant of the moon goddess. An Alpha's Mark...
Jovita's POVI sat on the empty bench in the cafeteria. I was waiting for Maddie and Anne.Maddie was in the History department, Anne was in the fashion department, and I was in the Medical department, but we always had lunch together.We usually waited until each of us was done with class before we ate, and today, I was the first. Nine out of ten times, I was usually the last.“Hey pretty”, Anne said, giving me a peck on the cheek as she joined me at our table. Her cheeks looked flushed, and I was certain she had been with her mate, Conan.Conan was one of the Ancient Alphas, probably one of the most powerful, but he always stuck with Jayden’s crew, the white brothers or the sexy five as girls in school called them. The much more powerful company, and from the look of things, his pack didn't mind. Not that they would dare protest anyway.“Why are your cheeks so red?” I asked, rolling my eyes. Conan was too much of an experienced guy for my shy, naive friend.“They aren't”, she lied o
Descendant of the moon goddess. Meant to be mine...
Jovita's POV Maddie placed herself in front of Anne and me, as Betty reached our table.Betty was wearing a short, flay, white skirt that showed off her hot model legs, a lemon green sweater, and lovely lemon green heels. Her blonde hair was styled nicely, and held in place with expensive-looking pins, and her hands, neck, and feet, wore expensive-looking golden ornaments.She looked gorgeous.The girl beside her, the one hugging Jayden at the party, was dressed equally beautifully and expensive-looking. She had the face and body of a model, just like Betty.“What are you, Maddie? The shield of the crew?” Betty asked. Sarcasm filled her authoritative, sing-song-like voice.“What do you want?” Maddie asked in an equally authoritative voice.The two cousins never got along. It was a wonder how they would both lead their pack together when they assumed their birth roles.“I came to speak to Jovita”, she said, throwing me an icy stare.“About what?” Maddie asked.“Maddie dearest sis, rel
Descendant of the moon goddess. What was Jovita doing to me?
Jayden’s POVI stared at Jovita, waiting for her response. I was very nervous right now.I couldn't believe Jovita would think I could leave her for Betty, I'd be a fool. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and coupled with that fact, she drew me in a way no one had ever done.With her, I felt alive and active. I felt happy, safe, and confident. I wouldn't trade this things for anything in the world.If I was going to admit it to myself, I was already in love with Jovita.“Will you?” I asked, waiting with bathed breathe for her reply. What if she said no? I felt my stomach churn at the thought of her refusal.“Yes”, she said, her heart-shaped face looking even more beautiful.“What time would be okay for you?”“Six would do”.“Then six it is”.We stood awkwardly for a moment, not saying anything. A part of me wished and hoped Jovita shared my feelings even in the slightest bit.I wasn't used to this thing called love, and I had actually never loved anyone except my pa
Descendant of the moon goddess. I don't want you to...
Jovita's POVI watched Jayden’s retreating figure not knowing what to say. I could feel tears burning my eyelids.I had been looking for my besties earlier before I saw Seth, but now I wasn't in the mood to continue my search, so I decided to go home first. I would apologize to them later.When I reached home, I met my Mom at the door. It looked like she was going somewhere, seeing she was all dressed up.“Hey”, I said, giving her a brief hug, but she held me tight, pulling me into a deeper embrace. She could sense my hurt, but she didn't ask, and I was grateful.My Mom and I were very close, and most times, I appreciated the fact that she never tried to intrude on my life. She always waited until I came out clean on my own.“You're going somewhere?” I asked, trying to steady my trembling voice, when we pulled out from the embrace.“Yes, your Dad is taking in a date”, she said, smiling.My Dad was a little over forty and my Mom was in her late thirties, but they both looked like they

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.

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
Descendant of the moon goddess. Is it over?
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
Descendant of the moon goddess. Hope?
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
Descendant of the moon goddess. Anticipation
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
Descendant of the moon goddess. I killed her
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
