Descendant of the moon goddess. You mean nothing...
Jayden’s POV I stared at Jovita's opened eyes, gratitude filling my heart, I wasn't sure I had ever been this happy. She looked at me with a perplexed expression on her face, and then her expression turned to one of concern. I regarded her keenly, wondering why she was looking at me with those large, lovely, worry-laced eyes, I was the one meant to be worried about her, she had almost died. It almost would be an understatement, as I had thought I already lost her. She was as cold as an ice block just a few minutes ago. Her pulse had seized, and I could no longer hear a heartbeat. I had tried all I could to heal her, including calling the most powerful healer of my clan. The ancient one had done his job, and left saying she was communing with her ancestor, and would return soon. I had found that confusing wondering what he meant, and at that moment, I started to feel her heartbeat slip away until it finally stopped. For a moment my world seized too as a choking pain clutched my
Descendant of the moon goddess. Live life...
Jovita's POV I stared at Maddie as she carefully folded her favourite, grey sweatpants. I was spending the weekend at her family's mansion in Green Valley, the loveliest part of Forktown. It was decorated with lush grasses, trees, shrubs, and majestic mansions similar to Maddie's. I had just filled Maddie in on what happened yesterday and was waiting for her reply. Maddie was a counsellor among our circle of friends, she had a strange, mature wisdom-filled mind that I believed had probably come from the many books she was always engrossed in. “So what are you going to do?” She asked. I shrugged, sitting on the white, soft armchair beside her king-size bed. “Nothing just live life I guess”. “Jovita you can't live without your mate, you have to be in unison with him”. “I was living very well without him from what I recall, besides I only got to know he was my mate yesterday”. “You should at least ask him what he meant, since you didn't understand the accusations, clearly there's
Descendant of the moon goddess. It was what Jovita did to me...
Jayden’s POV “What the heck do you think you're doing Jayden?” My inner voice questioned, as I ran through the forest with Jovita. I couldn't give myself a reasonable explanation for what I had just done. How do I explain the impromptu appearance? I had been thinking about Jovita all day, and suddenly I was in her friend’s room whisking her out without a second thought. I was still wondering how she managed to find her way out of my house earlier today. And for a strange reason I couldn't fathom, I craved her presence. “You missed her,” my inner voice teased. I shook my head. I didn't miss her. Why would I miss her? She was my mate, yes. I found her attractive, but I had no feelings for her, not yet, not one that I was ready to admit. The cold wind blew past us as I ran, I had reduced my pace to prevent her from catching a cold, but I could still feel her body shivering against my arm. She looked pale and innocent, with a confused look on her beautiful, heart-shaped face. I felt
Descendant of the moon goddess. It was either one or the other…
Jovita’s POV Jayden looked up, spinning around, and using his well-built body to shield my small frame. I stood frozen. I was still trying to understand what was going on. Just a moment ago Jayden had been about to kiss me. I could say we kissed, though brushing of lips barely counted as a kiss, according to my and my besties’ rule. I could feel my cheeks still burning red. Was I just about to have my first kiss? My mind flashed to the present. We had an unwanted company. The guest had called my name, and for some reason, his voice sounded familiar. Was it Uriel? I wondered, my pulse quickening. “Show yourself” Jayden said in his deep, resonant voice. Slowly, Seth stepped out from behind the tree. I heard a low growl erupt from Jayden, and I flinched. He must already be aware of my relationship with Seth. I noticed he shifted his weight to shield me more. “Seth? I didn't know you were coming around today”, Jayden said, dryly. I knew he was pissed about Seth's interruption. I c
Descendant of the moon goddess. Notice my absence...
Jayden's POV I charged at Seth, my only thoughts were to protect my mate. I knew Seth had no plans of hurting any of us, but when a werewolf was angry, he was unpredictable. Right now, he could kill me if he had a chance. I knew because I could hear his every thought. “Calm down Jayden, please don't do something you'd regret”, Eric said in my head. He was communicating to me through his thoughts. He must know Eric and I were about to fight. I had no intention of hurting Seth, but I had no intention of doing nothing either, if he attacked then I would have to defend. “Seth is brother Jayden, please”, Eric begged desperately. I could hear his heart beating wildly, he was probably running to where we were. He had gone out with Betty, his mate, and I felt a little bit bad for cutting short time together time. Seth took a step forward, his lips curving back to show his long, razor-sharp canines, he was planning his attack carefully since he knew I was much faster and stronger than he w
Descendant of the moon goddess. Was I jealous?
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
Descendant of the moon goddess. Stay away from me...
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
Descendant of the moon goddess. Delicious isn't it?
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

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
