Julie’s povFlashbackYesterdayWhen I first found out Leon was my mate. I couldn't decipher the feelings at first. It was a mixture of happiness and anxiousness but when I realized I'm his second chance mate who looks exactly like his first mate, the one he loved so much. I felt bitter deep in my heart. Not knowing how to face him I just walked out of there because I didn't want anyone to see me cry. I went to the nearby cafe and barged into the restroom. Getting inside the stall I let the tears fall freely. I was balling silently in there. I didn't know for how long I sat there crying. It wasn't like I was looking for my mate or anything but why does it hurt so much knowing he loves his first mate who looks like me? He even thought I was her. All I ever wanted was not to be the second choice of anyone. I'm not my father's first choice for the Alpha position. I'm not Jason's first choice whom my father wants me to marry. And even my mate, I'm not his first choice either. Why does i
April’s povMy head was pounding in pain. It was as if someone was hammering my head violently as it continued to throb. My eyelids felt extremely heavy as if tons of weight were placed on them. No matter how much I tried I couldn't open my eyes. My body felt so light as a feather. I couldn't feel it. Amidst all the chaos within my head. I could feel a soft caress on my head. The mattress under me was soft and it was dipped from my side as if someone was there. The touch was soft, warm, and tender. It strode down from my hair to my cheek before gently stroking my closed eyelids. 'Frea?' I called for her only to hear her muffled hum. She was tired and drained just like me. I could hear faintly, someone calling my name. The voice was deep and full of emotions falling very close to my ear. The desperation in the voice forced me to fight harder against the darkness that consumed me. "Wake up, Angel." That all too familiar voice had my eyes shot opening wide as I wheezed badly as if I
Jason cut the call and was deep in thought. "You okay?" I asked softly as he nodded his head. Jason placed his hand on my forehead checking my temperature. He seemed worried and deep in thought. I realized what he was thinking about. I held his hand in mine and made him look at me. "I had recovered and I could go now, please don't be worried about me," I said, and looked at me surprised because I read his mind. He sighed before pulling my hand to his lips and dropping a kiss at the back of it. "You're still recovering, April. You need rest," he said. His blue eyes were full of concern as I shook my head and scooted closer to him. "I'm fine. It's not like we are going to war or for a fight. It's just we had to talk to Sofia, also I want to know about my ancestors and my bloodline. I want to know where I belong," I insisted. He sighed. "I knew you would make me agree somehow that's why I told Leon we'll be there but you've to promise me you won't work yourself," He said and bobbed
"You think I'm a fool. It doesn't matter if I tell you or not, you'll just end up killing me so what's the use of it?" She said coldly glaring daggers at me. I recalled how she screamed at that wizard that their mission was to kill me. I don't understand her enmity with me. The first time I met her was at the hospital while on rounds to check on the patients. "It's never too late to change, Sofia. We've already lost so many lives. You can atone for your sins by telling us the truth-" I was cut off by her laughter. She was laughing, throwing her head back as if I told her a joke or something. "Sweet of you to think you can coax me but damn, I want to tell you." She mused as her eyes glossed up with all the laughing. The four of us just stared at her. She looked like a maniac with that glint in her eyes. Leon walked over to the corner before he walked over to Julie. "Here, sit down. Don't put your weight on your foot for long," Leon said as Jason and I glanced at them only to find
Her words caused us all to stand there dead silent. My heart pounded in my ears as I pondered her words. She stared at all of us before bursting out a laugh like a maniac, she looked crazy while we heard Beta Fredrick hissing out in pain.I stepped closer to her. "Sofia, you know my ancestors paid a heavy price for what they did," I said hoping to get through to her. "Werewolves nowadays are innocent. They are not the ones who should pay for all that. And you know that you're taking revenge on the innocent who has done nothing wrong to you," I said trying to make her understand but she just rolled her eyes. "F*ck you and these f*cking innocent werewolves. For me, you are all the same. I hate every single one of you and when all the werewolves are wiped from this earth, I'll be content after ages." She said, "You're wrong Sofia. Even if you take your revenge you won't be at peace knowing you killed innocents," I gritted. I was losing my calm with her. "Leon, do you have those thor
Though Sofia took her life I didn't feel any good about it. Instead, I felt sad. The ache in my heart just intensified because to some extent I could understand where she was coming from. It wasn't her fault. She just wanted revenge. In this world, there are three types of people. The ones who can't forget but still forgives, the second, those who just let karma take charge, and the third one is the type who wants revenge. Sofia became what she went through. She wanted justice for her clan. For her parents. But she should've known nothing comes from revenge. In order to destroy someone else, you end up destroying yourself as well. The more I think about it the more my heart aches. If only she could've forgiven then things would've been different. Henry loved her so much, even though she loves him a lot. They could've had a happy life, marriage, kids, and family. She could've had it all but she chose the path of destruction. I don't know if I'd ever be able to forget the love that
"Father," Jason grounded. His voice was thick and laced with restrained anger. "You want to know my wish right? My wish is for you to stop fantasizing about forcing me and Julie to be together." He gritted and Alpha Logan's jaw clenched. He seemed pissed by Jason's words. "What is wrong with that? She was there with you throughout all of this. She helped you capture that witch. She knows the responsibility of the true Luna and she's the daughter of an Alpha," Logan threw the facts at Jason's face. It takes a lot of patience to keep your mouth shut especially when you want to scream a reality check at someone but I couldn't. I don't want to create a scene here and also I know Jason would never leave me and will always stand for me no matter what. "My mate was there when I was under the rubble. She saved me. She was there in all the hard times. I'm not saying Julie didn't help. Julie helped us too. She's amazing but you can't force me, father. I love my mate," Jason grounded glaring
"Are you okay? What was he doing?" Jason asked, a bit concerned glaring at where Damon disappeared to. "Yeah, I'm fine. He was just making stupid jokes. I couldn't even laugh at it," I said seriously. "Always stay close to me when we're in my pack," He said. I bobbed my head obediently before giving him one of the cans. He took it before thanking me as we headed to our car. I asked him what the call was about and he informed me that four of the patients had recovered and it was good news. I was happy that the spell was lifted. Now we just need to deal with the virus. We went to the hospital to check on the patients and the situation was pretty much under control. Many patients were even showing signs of recovery which were good. Jason drove us back home. We stepped into the house and he closed the door locking it. Toeing out of my shoes I plopped on the sofa face first making him chuckle. "You must be tired," He said. "Very much," I mumbled. "Let's bathe then," He said before
Five years later! "Mwommy, can I go play outside?" Little Ava asked while tugging at April's dress and looking up at her mother with those big blue eyes. "Alright, honey but promise me you won't get your clothes dirty. Uncle Leon and Ethan are about to be here any time," April said while adding chicken gravy to the pan. "Okay mwommy," Ava beamed excitedly before dashing out of there. Jason had installed a number of playful things in the backyard of their house for the kids. They love to play there all the time. Two minutes later a little munchkin Jonathan hobbled over to his mommy. He grabbed her dress tugging at it lightly. "Mowmmy, Jon wants to plway too," The three-year-old Jonathan pleaded with those big blue eyes. April smiled at her baby as she picked him up in her arms. "Sweety, you'll get your clothes dirty. Uncle Ethan is coming with Evan. He's bringing sweets for you," April said while motioning for the maid to take over. "Bwut mowmmy, Ava is plwaying outside," The li
Leon walked into the house with squared shoulders. His chest puffed out as if he owned the place. Antonio was sitting on the sofa as he stood up to meet him. Leon shook his hand before he took the seat opposite him. "Let's not waste time. I've heard from my daughter that you both want to be together," Antonio said. "Yes, you heard right. She's my mate and I want to make her my Luna." Leon said confidently. "Are you forgetting she's my daughter first? She's allowed to do what I order her to do." Antonio gritted angrily but Leon remained calm. He hated how her father talked about her. "She's not only your daughter. She's Julie Antonio who has alpha blood in her veins and is very capable of taking her title as the alpha of this pack. She's my mate no matter what. I won't allow you to wed her off to someone else." Leon said calmly as he inhaled her scent. His eyes snapped to the door and he found her standing behind the wall trying to stay hidden but he knew she was there listeni
Leon inhaled deeply resting his forehead on the steering wheel as he waited patiently. She was taking too long to walk out of the university. It was already past her clock out. His head snapped up when he inhaled her scent. His eyes fell on her beautiful frame as she walked out of the front gate in all her elegance. It was too risky of him to be there knowing that Jason could see him and Ethan has also frequently picked up his mate from the university. He waited for her to get closer and before she could hail a cab. He pulled over and her eyes fell on him. "Come I'll drop you," Leon said but Julie lightly shook her head. "That's not needed." She declined politely and he frowned. She has been ignoring him a lot recently while he wanted things to work between them. "Julie-""It's okay, I'll take the cab. Thank you," She said not looking at him and his jaw ticked. "Get in the car, Julie unless you want me to haul you up on my shoulder and toss you in the back seat. Now don't eve
"Susan," Jason started but she was solely staring at Ethan in disbelief. Susan couldn't believe her ears. So this was Ethan's plan all along. She stomped inside as he called after her but she didn't stop. Susan hurried into her room walking past Blair and April as she got inside her room and locked herself in. Susan stepped into the restroom. Grabbing the basin she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Bitter tears gathered in her eyes. There was a loud knock on the door followed by Ethan's voice. "Susan, let me in." Susan blinked as a tear slid down her cheek. So it was his plan all along to woo her She knew about it from the start. She knew he was trying to woo her because he wanted to sleep with her. But then the moon goddess made them mates. Susan breathed in deeply. She heard their conversation. She heard what Jason said and she also heard what Ethan answered him later. It was obvious Jason knew Ethan couldn't woo her that was why he even offered him that f*cking hea
Susan was beaming to herself when someone came beside her startling the life out of her as she jumped in her place. "Did I scare you?" April asked sheepishly, earning a scowl from Susan. "You sure did. What if I had a cardiac arrest huh-" Susan just started arguing when April let out a loud gasp, jumping on her. "No way," She exaggerated, making Susan frown. "What?" She asked confused as April gaped at her. "You guys marked each other," April exclaimed in wonderment and Susan's cheeks flushed. She quickly pulled the collar up. She had properly hid the mark but April surely had keen eyes. She noticed so quickly. "Did you complete your pharmaceutical assignment?" Susan asked casually. April raised a perfect brow at her. "You can't change the subject, honey. Now are you spilling the beans or do you want me to extract it out of you or Ethan?" April asked seriously, causing Susan's eyes to widen as she grasped April's hand. She closed her locker and dragged April out of there because
Ethan was wide awake as he lay there with her in his arms. Last night was the best night of his life and there was no doubt about that. He never thought that a mate bond could feel so beautiful. That a mate could change his life, his way of thinking.Her words kept raking his head again and again. She had confessed that she loved him but did he deserve her love? He didn't know. She was a precious little woman which made him want to protect her from the whole damn world.Susan stirred in her sleep as she rubbed her cheek on his chest to get comfortable but whined when she couldn't get comfy.Her hand unconsciously raked over his chest before she placed it under her cheek but that wasn't cozy enough for her cause she moved away from him giving her back to him as she cuddled in herself.Ethan frowned before he snaked his arm under her and pulled her back on his chest as he caged her in his steel-like arms. She whined in her sleep and tried to get free but it was impossible.Her eyes slow
He stilled inside her. He could burst right then and there but he controlled the urge, the veins in his neck were popping out at the intense control. "Susan," He rasped gently as her body slowly fell back on the bed and a sob tore through her lips. "It hurts," she whimpered as her nails dug into the flesh of his shoulder. Of course, it was hurting her. She was so tiny and he was well... Susan only ever heard how amazing it felt. Though she was grossed out by such info at that time, now she wanted but nothing prepared her for this pain. Ughhh! "I'm sorry, it was the less painful way," He rasped as he kissed her forehead and then both of her eyes one by one. He kissed her cheeks before his lips caressed hers and he kissed her gently. She was tense as a board. "Relax, Susan." He whispered while giving feathery kisses all over her neck. His gums tingled as canines extended out. His eyes darkened even more as his wolf peeked out. He tried to control this insane urge to mark her and
Her bosoms were right at his face as he inched closer. He licked his lips as his eyes were solely fixed on hers. Susan gulped as he pecked the swell of her right bosom.His tongue darted out as he licked around her nipple in a circle making hot sensations engulf her.His hands were settled on her bottom as he squeezed her rear causing her chest to rub against his lips. His hot breath fanned the valley of her breasts.The way he licked his lips as if he was going to devour a meal, made her heart stutter in her chest.His tongue licked her bud and played with it as she watched him, her breathing sparse.She breathed heavily when his mouth opened wide and his lips wrapped around her bosom. His tongue fondled her bud as he sucked hard causing her back to arch.She tried to free her hands so she could grab his hair but her arms were restrained and she was at his mercy as he devoured her bosoms."Ethan," She gasped when he slightly bit her nipple and then suckled on it. The sensations that
Susan stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was donning a beautiful black dress that clung to her body like a second skin. Her hair was in loose waves as she gazed at herself. She was looking gorgeous. This was the first time she had dressed up sexy. Her lips were painted a seductive shade of red. And the thick coat of mascara looked beautiful in her eyes. A loud honk from outside had her eyes snapping at the clock and it was exactly 8. Susan quickly grabbed her purse and coat, she hurried out locking the door. Ethan's jaw slacked at her perfect ass and when she turned around he was gobsmacked by her beauty. She looked drop-dead stunning. Susan hurried over to him as she took the passenger seat and he was so engrossed in checking her out, he completely forgot that he was supposed to open the door for her. "Close your mouth," She said with a light smirk and he closed his mouth, clearing his throat. "You look stunning. I need a breather please excuse me," With that sa
