"April," My voice came out soft. Gently holding her fragile hand I gave feathery kisses on her hand. Her hand was cold as I held it between my hands and tried to warm it up. Touching her cheek I realized she was freezing. I checked her pulse and heart rate. Everything seemed fine. "Baby," I whispered, cupping her cheek, and got no response. The more I called her and each time when she wouldn't respond I felt my heart constricting in pain. "Wake up, April. Please. For me wake up, it's difficult without you. I need you. I know this misunderstanding was too cruel for us but we have to cope with it together. We are the only ones we have. I'm your support system and you're mine. Right now I'm breaking. It's too much," I breathed in deeply, controlling my emotions. "You told me not to hide my emotions from you. I won't. I'll tell you everything. I was worried about the title of the Alpha. It was all too sudden at Logan's party. One thing I was sure of. I'll do anything to protect you a
April’s pov: My body felt light as a feather but my eyelids felt heavy and my head throbbed in pain. I tried to wake up but no matter how I tried, I just couldn't move or open my eyes. I could feel a faint touch on my hand. A whisper across my skin yet I couldn't bring myself to wake up. The touch slowly moved before I felt it on my cheek. Soft and delicate. The person touching me was so cautious as if afraid that I'll break if he touched me a little more. I felt warm. Who was this person? Why can't I move my body? Why am I not waking up? "Angel," I could faintly hear someone saying, Angel. The voice was so deep and gruff. It felt so familiar that something inside me stirred. It forced me to open my eyes. I tried again but failed. It was like I'm drowned in an ocean, deep and dark. No matter how much I tried I couldn't pull myself up. Something was holding me down. I could see a flicker of light as I tried to cling to it but it was so far away. "April, please wake up, baby. I
"Will you marry me, Angel?" He asked and tears of joy gathered in my eyes. It took me a couple of seconds to wrap my mind around what was happening. I stared at Jason, shocked to the core. I wasn't expecting this. My heart melted seeing that his eyes are misty. At that moment we completely forgot that Ethan, Susan, and Connor were standing near the door. I moved towards him and in one swift move, I jumped on him with my arms wide open. He let out a surprised yelp before holding me tightly before I could fall as he took the impact and I was on top of him both of us on the floor. We stared at each other surprised before bursting out laughing. I grabbed his chin kissing him and there was a surprise gasp. My head snapped to Susan whose eyes were covered by Ethan as she was trying to see. I quickly pulled back from Jason feeling my cheeks heating up and the next thing I found myself straddling him. My eyes widened when he groaned lightly and his features hardened. I felt something
"April," Jason called me as I hummed in response. We both were on the bed. I was laying half on top of him, my cheek resting on his chest. We are naked, skin to skin. After doing it in the shower we ended up doing it on the bed again. I was exhausted while Jason could do it a couple more times. We had food together or most of the part he fed me because I was too tired. "What are your thoughts on me becoming an Alpha?" He asked. I traced circles on his chest. "Well, I'll be very happy, to be honest, and you'll look so hot as an Alpha. Not only that I can't imagine someone else as Alpha of your jack because you're the strongest, empathetic, kind to your people. Just know, you possess all the great qualities of an Alpha." I said truthfully. "And you? Are you okay with being the Luna of my pack? Would it be hard for you? I can talk to Connor and we can fasten the process of your graduation. You'll have to take extra classes on the weekend. This way when you'll be Luna you don't have t
April's pov. "Jason, can you please check? I'm busy here," I yelled from the kitchen. "Okay," Jason yelled back as he went to check the door. I could hear chattering from outside. Jeez, I'm late. The guests were already here. Jason and I decided to invite our friends for dinner on the weekend. We could watch a movie and have some fun. When we discussed the plan with Ethan he was all too eager and said he'll take care of inviting everyone. I heard footsteps and seconds later Lily showed up in the kitchen inhaling deeply and then sighing. "It smells delicious," She beamed, stepping further in before giving me a hug. "What can I help you with?" She asked, pulling her sleeves up and washing her hands. "You can cut those veggies," I said pointing at the vegetables and Lily got to work. "Is Oliver with Martin?" I asked. "No, he's with Leon. He's been clinging to him since we got inside." Lily said and I smiled. "Julie is coming, right?" Lily asked. "Yeah, I invited her and Susan se
Leon's POV:I watched as she sat beside Lily making small talk with her. It was Lily who introduced herself and initiated the conversation. I was damn sure that Lily asked April to invite Julie here because of me because no way Jason or April would want to invite her knowing what Julie wanted from them, especially from Jason. I don't know why it pisses me off the more I think about Julie with Jason. I watched as she glanced at me only to look a bit surprised because I was already looking at her. Our eyes were locked for a couple of seconds before she looked away. I wonder what was going on inside her head. The more I look at her the more I think about her. I've come to the sudden realization that both of us haven't rejected each other on a serious note. We are still mates. We did have one night stand but that was it. Nothing more. Nothing less. I closed my eyes recalling that night and my jaw clenched. It was good and I couldn't stop thinking about it no matter how hard I tried.
Jason's POV:All of us were gathered in the garden in front of the small bonfire. Martin was sitting with Lily snuggled to one of his sides and his sleeping toddler on his chest. Ethan was sitting right beside Susan who was glaring daggers at him but he had a smirk plastered on his lips. I could tell looking at my cousin that he was interested in Susan. At first, I felt awkward with Susan around us knowing she was my student at university but eventually, I got comfortable knowing she was April's best friend and she'll be around more often. Leon was sitting quietly a little away from Julie who was silent as night. I opened one of my arms when I saw April approaching me. A smile spread on my lips on its own. She was looking beautiful wearing a sundress that reached her knees. Her hair was in a ponytail and those beautiful eyes of hers smiled at me. She took my hand as I guided her to sit on my lap because there were no more chairs available. She was hesitant at first, her eyes bo
She let out a muffled gasp which I swallowed. April got startled by my sudden attack as her body went rigid but after a few seconds, her body melted into me as she looped her arms around my neck. My free hand grabbed her waist as I snaked my arm around it pulling her soft body flushed to my chest. Her breath hitched as my fingers threaded into her locks, grabbing a fist full of her hair. I tilted her head back and deepened the kiss. Her lips parted as I slid my tongue into her mouth caressing her tongue with mine. I devoured her sweet little mouth as her hold on my neck tightened. I know she needs to breathe but I couldn't bring myself to pull away. I was drowned in the kiss as her seductive scent engulfed me and all I could think about was her lips on mine. She punched on my shoulder and it brought me back to my senses as I pulled back taking a breather for her. April panted heavily. Those beautiful hazy eyes stared at me with love and affection that caused my heart to swell up
