JAELASquinting at the light peeking through the curtain. Rubbing my eyes to clear the sleep from them. Slowly my gaze hovered over the man laying next to me, his arms wrapped loosely around my naked body.Who would have thought this would be my reality again. I’d be lying if I said I expected to be back in his arms again. Though we promised ourselves to move on, this feeling feels right. Aiyana purred in agreement.This is what we needed all along, to forget about our duties, our packs. All I need is him, still the unknown scares the daylight out of me. Will he change his mind? Will he leave me like the last time? Would I survive if he does?I wouldn’t survive it, a fact I’d bank on. After opening my heart to him again, chances are I’d be lost. The Moon Goddess wouldn’t have given him to me for us not to work. I have to believe that there’s more to us than letting each other go. I’m willing to take the leap into the unknown, hopefully it's worth it. Tristen’s murmuring halted the t
JAELA Tristen held me around my waist, his face buried in my neck as we emerged from my room. My childish giggles giving me a stitch in my side. “Well, someone definitely had fun” Skylar said from where he was sitting, he winked his eyes at us. “Yeah, the first, second, and 5th time since last night” Mia said in irritation. Skylar pulled her to sit across his lap, laying a soft kiss behind her ear. “What is your problem this morning Mia, didn’t get any?” Maya snorted. Ignoring her completely, she snapped back at us. “Let’s be clear you little whore! these suites are soundproof, not so much the rooms inside them! Keep that in mind tonight” Mia sneered. “Good Goddess you are such a grouch this morning.” I said pointing an accusing finger at her. Mia shrugged her shoulders still scowling at me. Just then someone knocked on the suite’s door. Mya, Mia and I both jumped to our feet, throwing curious looks at each other. The boys stayed seated without worry. I really don’t want a figh
TRISTEN Leave and dont come back Ever! You hear me? Dont ever come back here again Tristen! 5 YEARS LATER... Those were the last words she said to me before our lives went adrift. The hurt was written all over her face. She was broken. I broke her, if i'm being honest both of us will be broken forever. We will feel it until the day we die. Breaking a mate bond, It shouldnt never happen to anyone. The pain in that moment shook me to my core, still lingers under my skin. A void in my soul that cant be replaced or filled. I feel it everyday and it doesnt get easier. When I close my eyes, I can still see her eyes full of tears and disappointment. I've resigned myself to the fact, this is how it will be. Me hating myself for what I've dont to her, What I have done to us. I'm expected to accept a bond with a chosen mate, one of which I have no inclination to deal with. I cannot look at the woman without feeling excruiciating pain in my chest of the one I really want. My proposed int
TRISTEN "Still thinking about the one that got away huh?" Bree asked, she sauntered into the kitchen. The door swinging closed behind her. "Huh" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. Only people that knew of my mate was Skylar, my father and the elders. Not that it was a secret, but it damn sure wasn't any of her business. She won, she's going to be the new Luna of this pack and she should be grateful. "Dont deny it Tristen, I've known about her for a while. Did you forget my father is one of your dad's oldest friends? For the last two years I've watched you pine for her, want her in ways I want you to want me" Her expression dulled, crinkling in saddness. I looked away from her, Not willing to watch her pine for me. It wasnt anything against her personally, any woman that I'd choose would'nt be enough for me. Out the corner of my eye, I could see her look of disgust, covering the longing to have me to her self and the jealousy coursing in her. Bree is a beautiful woman, there's
JAELA ‘What were you thinking? Why did you let this happen? We fought so hard to be normal after he rejected us why did you give in’? I asked my wolf. ‘Don’t blame me, you were the one kissing him. Besides, It's my nature to want my mate, you think It's easy to just push them away’ Aiyana replied sadly. Ugh I hate when she’s right, I can’t place all the blame on her. Part of me gave into the feral need to have him. My body went into overdrive just smelling his scent, I thought I’d never have the oppurtunity to experience that cedar-wood and lemongrass scent again. Surely, it’s the reason I lost my mind and went horny she wolf on him, right? Who am I kidding, missing him has been a part of me for so long, giving into him felt like a piece of us came back to me. Feeling his heart hammer in his chest for me sparked a bit of hope inside the hole in my heart, but when he said he didn’t come to my territory of his own free will my hope shattered. Aiyana whimpered in my head that it wasn
TRISTEN It’s been four days since I shared a moment in the woods with Jaela. I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t consumed my dreams since that night. It’s impossible to escape her even if I tried and Skylar doesn’t make it any easier. Every time I see him, he smiles at me or gives subtle hints with his eyes reminding me that he knows what happened between us. I’m honestly considering banning him from this floor. I don’t care that’s his chambers is on the same level. Anyway, I have no time to keep thinking about either of them, the alpha meeting is tomorrow and I’m not looking forward to it. Honestly, I hate every second of those meetings, all the alphas in the northwest and western states have to attend them every six months to discuss rogue attacks, pack event calendars and any other concerns we may have. This will be my fifth meeting since taking over the pack and it hasn’t been easy seeing Alpha Terrance from Mystic Moon. Even before Jaela and I found out we were mates he’s been a l
TRISTEN The room is bustling with omegas cooking and preparing dinner for the night, leaving them to their duties. I made my way through the dining hall only to run into Bree. “Tristen” she says ignoring what I told her the last time about how to address me. realizing her mistake, her eyes widened. “I mean. Alpha Tristen” “What do you want Bree?” I asked, annoyed. “I was wondering if we could have a private dinner tonight, just you and me?” she says batting her eyelashes at me. I had no plans on spending any quality time with the girl, but I can’t keep being an ass to her either. “Fine” not really committed to my answer, but to her apparently was the best thing ever. “Yes! um how about around seven... I will have one of the omegas deliver food to your chambers” she says happily her smile reaching her eyes. “No” I yelled a bit harshly, watching her smile fade into a frown. “I’m not saying no to dinner with you Bree, just not in my chambers. Get the Omegas to set up a tabl
TRISTEN Skylar hasn’t said a word to me since we left the pack grounds. The silence is killing me and its only been an hour since we left. when we loaded the cars this morning, he brushed past me headed to the second vehicle to ride with Delta’s. That wouldn’t do, it was only right that the Alpha and beta rode together, there couldn’t be any dissension shown to other packs no matter how pissed he may be with me. So long story short I made him ride with me, but that just pissed him off more apparently. Sneaking a glance his way he focused all his attention out the window. The radio and road was the only sounds being heard inside the car as we drove. “So, you going to sulk all day” I asked breaking the silence. forcing his eyes to the scenery outside, he said nothing. Light poles and guard rails more interesting to him at this point. With a loud sigh I gripped the steering wheel, the leather straining under my fingertips. “Come on sky say something, it’s going to be a long ride.” I p
