Jovita's POV I stared around the room filled with young adults, my eyes searching for my best friends. One of the white brothers, Conan was throwing a party at his parent's vacation mansion, a few minutes from Jayden’s house. The party was filled with the most popular werewolves in Torin, and I was pretty surprised when I got an invitation. In the past, I usually just tagged along with Maddie and Anne, as no one ever invited me. “It was probably because of Jayden I got an invitation”, I had told my besties, tossing the card on my old bedside table. They had come over to stay with me for the weekend. We came together for the party, but I had excused myself to use the restroom, and now they were gone. I avoided the crowd of scarcely dressed females and overly dressed males, as I continued my search. I saw many heads turn in my direction. Yeah, I was beautiful, but I had never drawn heads until I started hanging out with Jayden. It was bringing in more attention than I wanted. “Oh sh
Jayden's POV I caught the scent of my mate as I hugged Jade, giving her a peck on her forehead, but when I turned, she was nowhere in sight. Apologizing to Jade, I went in search of her. I followed her scent to the lady's restroom but stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. I saw a group of girls giggling, and staring at me, my presence must have painted a funny picture. “Jovita”, I called but got no reply. I tried again, but still no reply. I decided she wasn't in there and headed out of the house to continue my search, maybe she had gone home. I decided to trace my way to her house to see if I could find her. I had run only a few distance when I picked up her scent again. She was sitting on one of the benches the beach provided, a few meters from my home. I approached her slowly unsure of what to say or do. We hadn't spoken in weeks, and I felt awkward. She turned to stare at me, when I got close enough, but turned back as if she hadn't seen me, I noticed there were tea
Jovita's POV “Oh my gawd, Jayden had just been ravishingly kissing me a few minutes ago”, I felt my cheeks still burning red. I stared down at our hands tightly entwined, and a smile crept to my lips. Suddenly, I noticed his body tense, and I followed his gaze focused on something, his eyes narrowed, and concentrated. “A cold one is here”, I heard in my head. My body stilled. I recognized that voice. It was Jayden's voice, more like Jayden's thoughts. I stared at him to make sure I wasn't imagining things. “Eric, Seth, Phil, Conan, gather around, a cold one is here, and I think he not just any cold one”. I heard it again, I could hear Jayden's thoughts. “Oh my god”, I yelled in my head, excitedly. He turned to look at me, his eyes narrowing, and a slow smile spread on his face. “The bond is getting stronger”, he said, drawing me into his arms, and planting a deep, brief, caring kiss on my lips. “I have to gather the others, stay with the rest of the party guests, be safe mate
Jayden’s POV I groaned in pain as the vampire ran with me, describing his movement as running would be an underestimation, he was flying. I yelped when he stopped suddenly and slammed me into a tree. “Let's see what you've got”, he said, his hands behind him, waiting for me to get up. I rose to my feet, my body in pain. I close my eyes, trying to self-heal. It was excruciating. When I had managed to stop my bleeding, I opened my eyes to stare at my opponent, calculating. He was probably ten times stronger and faster than me, and I had to plan my movement carefully or end up getting killed. “I see you're an instinctive fighter”, he said, giggling. How about we make this fairer?” He made a swirling motion with his hands, and a portal opened. I gasped, I didn't know cold ones could have such powers. Who the hell was this guy? He looked exactly like the guy who had attacked Jovita, but I could tell he wasn't the same guy. He smelt different, moved differently, and acted differently.
Jovita's POV “You should stay back, we will find him”, Eric said to me, blocking the exit. We were still at the party, and I insisted on following them to find Jayden. The rest of the party guests had dispersed, and the room was empty, except for me, my besties, the white brothers, and Betty. I noticed she was still giving me cold stares and she was avoiding Eric. “Please I need to go with you”, I pleaded with teary-eyed. “If you come with us it would pose a problem, we'd be distracted between protecting you and searching for him”, Phil, Maddie's mate, said. I nodded, he was right, it was better I stayed back. I would only be a burden. “If anything happens to you, he'd probably behead us in a breath”, Eric said, and the others burst out in a fit of laughter. I blushed looking down, I hadn't expected that. “Let's be on our way”, Eric said, taking off through the crack Uriel had left, while Phil and Conan followed. I sat down on the chair, taking in a deep, worried breath. Maddie
Jayden's POV It was excruciating, but I pulled my body on top of hers, shielding her against the cold. She was soft and fragile. I felt her body stiffen against mine, and I smiled. She was trying her best not to think so I couldn't tell what was going through her head, I could guess at least, from the feel of her taut nipple against my chest, and her rapid heartbeat. I leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead. “I'm sorry for putting you through this”, I whispered into her ear. Uriel was right, I wasn't the perfect mate for Jovita. I was meant to be her Alpha, her protector, but here I was, endangering her life constantly. “I should be the one apologizing. Uriel is here because of me”. “He's not, you might be part of the reason he's here, but not the only reason”. She was about to say something, but my friends’ giggles and banter cut her short. “We should probably give you guys a room”, Eric said, giggling. I pulled myself from on top of her realizing it was daybreak a
Jovita's POVI mentally face-palmed. Where did those words come from? I had just told Jayden that I wanted him too, fuck it!Those words had stared something deep in him because when he looked into my eyes, his hazel eyes burned with desire. My stomach twitched, and could feel butterflies. Guys, I'm not exaggerating here, the tension was intense!“Umm… umm”, I tried to say but shut my mouth. I was short of words.“What?” He asked, his eyes moving to my lips. I swallowed. What had I done to myself?I stayed mute not knowing what to say. I tried avoiding his eyes, but that was quite impossible because his hands were still around my waist. I was struggling between not sprawling my hands on his chest, and not looking into his eyes but it was quite impossible.“Are you shy, mate?” He asked.I blushed, hating myself. I loved it when he called me mate in his deep husky voice.“Should I call you more often then?” He asked.Shoot! What did I say about thought privacy?We stopped talking, and
Jayden’s POV“It had better be for a good reason that you pulled me out of that”, I said, giving Eric a playful rib jab, but he kept a straight face.“We found a trail”, Eric said, his voice cold and distant.What was wrong? I was starting to get worried, Eric was rarely ever this way.“Where did the trail lead?”“It led to the outskirts of folk towns, but suddenly, it disappeared”.“Disappeared?” I asked, puzzled.Eric and the white brothers were helping me investigate Eric's hideout.“We caught his scent and his footprint, but it stopped at a point and did not lead forward or backward”, Eric elaborated.He must have gone through a portal, like he did earlier. I found that quite strange. I didn't know cold ones had such power or any power at all. I had to do intensive research on these creatures, but first, I needed to confront Eric.“Is something wrong, man?” I asked, eyeing him suspiciously.“Nothing”.“Is it Betty? I noticed you've been quite cold to each other lately”.“I said i
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
