Cold. I felt so cold and scared when my eyes met with Liam's brown pools. With a shaky hand, I pushed his hand away and tried to sit up properly but pain shot through my body making me hiss. My arms were still hurting and I was taking a lot more time in healing because the damage he caused me was severe. Liam pulled the lever as he set my bed in a sitting position. I noticed the soft expression on his face as he came to sit beside me on the stool. My eyes bounced around the room and then at the door. I wonder where Jason was and how Liam got inside. I recalled he was there when I fell asleep. "A...April, I'm sorry," Liam said in a gentle voice and I refused to look at him or give him any response. "Please, forgive me. Last chance. Give me one more chance, baby. I love you, please," He pleaded, trying to hold my hand but I jerked it away. "I...I was drunk that night, April. Believe me, please. I saw you in Stella. I didn't know how that happened but it was a drunk mistake, please
Jason’s pov: I came back to the hospital after flogging Liam. I didn't feel bad about it. I know that f*cker deserved it. He inflicted emotional and physical abuse on my April. This mere flogging was nothing compared to what he made April go through. I hated it when I had to treat his wounds afterward because I'm a doctor so I simply asked the nurse to tend to his wounds. If it was up to me I would've flogged him to death. I found Beta Sebastian and other pack members in the ward talking to her. April's brows were furrowed as she listened to them attentively. I requested them to leave so April could rest. I made sure that she had her lunch before I left to check on my other patients and later I brought dinner for her. She still looked pale and weak as I fed her the soup. I smile every time her nose scrunches up with each spoon of bland soup. She didn't like it but it was healthy for her. She looks adorable when she makes that cute face. After some time she falls asleep. When
A week has passed slowly and I've gotten much better in these past few days. My arms are almost eighty percent healed, I can do my work on my own. The stitches were removed. I started eating on my own as well. But still, the ache in my heart from losing my baby is like a fresh wound and no matter how much time passes, it seems this pain would never go away. Liam hasn't accepted my rejection yet. I had expected him to accept it sooner but he hasn't done that yet. And I haven't seen him in the hospital since that night. Jason never left the hospital after that night's incident when Liam had shown up. Jason has even instructed the whole staff of the hospital to let him know if they see Liam in the hospital. I can see he was being extra cautious, all for me. He checks on me twice every four hours. Even though I assured him that I'll be fine. He still checks on me from time to time. Making sure that I was okay and taken care of. He takes care of all my meals making sure that my food is
"I don't know Beta, all of this is unfair to Luna." I heard Thomas say, making my heart ache at his words. "Stop calling her Luna, she has rejected our Alpha! I don't understand why she has to do that. Alpha Liam is in this condition only because of her. She should be more considerate. Liam was her mate. How could she reject him just like that." Sebastian said. "But, Alpha didn't do good to Lu… to her," Thomas tried to defend me. "No, I think she's just being ungrateful for leaving the pack like this." Sebastian gritted out. "I think Stella would be the only one who could convince Liam to accept this rejection. That's why I'll release her from jail," Sebastian said. "Yes, Stella could make Alpha agree," Thomas said as my stomach twisted up in knots. "After Alpha accepts this rejection then April will not work as a Luna of the pack anymore so it doesn't matter what she thinks or whatever she does," Sebastian said as Thomas agreed with that. My body was frozen on the bench as I g
Jason was grinning ear to ear. This was the first time I saw him beaming like this and I noticed his grin was wolfish. It was so alluring and gave him such a charming look. I looked away abruptly when I realized I'd been staring at him for too long. His smile affected me in ways it shouldn't have as my cheeks heated up. But his offer to come along with him had given me expectations of a new life. A life where I'd be free and happy. A place that I could create only by letting genuine people into my circle. I could surround myself with positivity. It would be like a fresh breath of air without toxicity. "I...I... never told this to anyone but Capital university was my dream which got buried due to the pack's responsibility," I mumbled softly, fidgeting with my food and biting my lower lip. I looked up feeling his gaze on me. Jason was peering at me with a smile that held sadness as if he could feel my pain in his soul. His ocean eyes held so much warmth that they engulfed me. "I know
I stumbled a step back but then I stopped. I don't need to be scared of him. He can't hurt me in front of all these people. Liam prowled toward me but I didn't step back this time. He stood in front of me gazing down at me as I held my breath. His eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked deranged. "Have you had enough? I know you are just having a tantrum and you still love me. It's time to come home with me." He said grabbing my hand, my brows furrowed as I snatched my hand out of his hold. It was ridiculous. Where did he get this confidence? I lost my baby because of him. I had to bear so much pain because of him. And he's saying I'm having a tantrum. "It's enough, Liam. Stop bothering me. I don't love you anymore. Don't you get it?" I said angrily and he shook his head adamantly. "I don't believe it. It's not possible." He said stepping closer into my personal space but I didn't back off because I'm not scared of him. "You love me, April. You
I was squeezed by two strands of aura and felt weak in the legs. Jason noticed this first, as he put away his aura and took my shoulders in a protective position.Liam froze upon seeing that, and also withdrew his aura. But he still had a reluctant look on his face. He ordered Sebastian to attack Jason in a hoarse voice, and I saw Sebastian hesitate and not move. Frea sneered in my head, ‘Does Liam think Sebastian is a fool? Everyone can see how powerful Jason is, and if he dares to attack Jason, then he is looking for death.’"Move!" Liam growled at Sebastian.Sebastian took a deep breath and then targeted me, "Are you happy with the situation? Why did you do that?" He asked coldly, staring straight at me.I shrugged my shoulders and said, “as you said behind my back. I’m an ungrateful person who rejected your Alpha, I don't even deserve to be called Luna and you don’t need to consider me since I won’t work for you anymore, then why are you asking me why since you already concluded."
After Liam and Sebastian left, I faced the staff who hurried over to us looking concerned. "Help him, please." I requested the hospital staff who helped him into one of the empty wards and passed him a shirt that he wore and left the buttons open. Sweats were passed to him as I turned around and he removed the cloth wrapped around his torso and wore the sweats. They helped him sit on the bed."I'm fine," He said to the staff as I turned around and stared at his injury, one of the staff members said that it was not serious. "Is it hurting?" I asked in a small voice knowing very well that he must be hurting and it must be painful for him. I avoided looking at his chest where the wounds were."I'm fine," He said with a small smile. With that smile on his face, no one could say he was hurt."Please, treat his wounds," I said looking at the nurse who nodded at me."No, it's not needed," Jason said and I turned to look at him muddled."You're hurt. You need treatment," I said with wide eye
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
