April's pov. "Jason!" I yelled for him from our room while trying to do the strings of my dress at the back. Jason gifted me this dress a few days back. We went shopping and he liked it. It was golden with beautiful work on it. Backless, tight till my waist, and then naturally flowy from below. I donned beautiful black heels with the dress. I tied my hair up in a bun. I learned this hair tutorial through an online video. Practiced it thrice and now I was able to pull it off beautifully. Warm hands on my back startled me followed by Jason's sweet scent. "Can you help, baby?" I asked. "Of course," He rasped. I showed him the picture as to how it was done and he got to work, after a couple of minutes I couldn't feel his hand on my back anymore so I turned to look in the mirror only to gasp. He did it wrong. "This was supposed to go from the third hook, Jason." I corrected him as he undid it again. It took us some time to get it done. "All set," He said after tying the knot a
"Calm down, Susan. It's not even that scary. Most people wish to meet their mates on their birthday when they turn 18 but your case is different. If you know that the possibility of meeting your mate is so low then what's there to worry about? Just relax," I tried to comfort her. "It's not just that April. My mother has invited many bachelors to the party with the intent that I might get along with one of them. I don't understand, April. Is it really necessary for me to have a guy beside me to be noticed in this world when I can be independent and strong on my own," She said. "I told you about my father, didn't I? He was mated to my mother yet he left her after impregnating her. She raised me as a single mother. I just don't trust mate bonds or men. I know you would give me an example of Jason. He's a good man and I'm happy for you but this doesn't mean all men are good or the mate bond is good. I just hate the idea of the mate bond." She breathed. I surely know she hated Matebond
Ethan's pov. Everyone gave her gifts and I stepped forward to do the same but she cast me a cold glare causing me to stay rooted to my spot. She could be really cold sometimes. But I couldn't help but recall how she was smiling while talking to April when I first saw her in my restaurant. To be honest I wasn't into tomboy sort of girls who love to stay in their comfy clothes and won't do girly stuff like makeup, dressing up, pampering themselves and all. Susan wasn't like that but still, I'm intrigued by her. I could only come up with a simple answer which was a low blow to my ego. She doesn't like me. I'm Ethan Jones. All the girls whom I ever met and hit on were smitten by my charms. A little flirting from my side was all it needed for them to fall for me and yet Susan ignored my existence like a plague. As if I'm a cactus and if she gets closer she'll get hurt. The more she runs away from me. The more she ignores me the more I want to conquer her and now it was a challenge fo
April's pov. "Susan seemed tense last night," I said to Jason who was driving the car as we headed to the university. "Hmmm.""I saw her going out but when she came back she had this wild look on her face as if she had seen a ghost. I tried to talk to her but she told her mom she was leaving and then she was gone abruptly," I said worried. "Shall I ask Ethan about it?" Jason asked. "What? Why would you ask Ethan about it?""Well, he had the same expression on his face last night when he left abruptly as well," Jason responded and my brows furrowed. They surely had something going on between them but it wasn't our place to meddle with their business. "No, let's not ask them anything. They are our friends. If they feel like sharing they would share it," I said though I was worried sick for Susan. She didn't even answer my call last night. Jason dropped me down the street as I walked to the university. Getting inside my department I headed to the lockers to get my books when I fou
"Drinks! Drinks! Drinks!" Jerry and Susan sang beside me as I sighed. Today was our last exam and we are done with it. We've been planning to give ourselves a treat after taking such stressful exams. "Alright let's go," I said as the three of us headed to the nearby place to have drinks. I texted Jason letting him know where I was going so if the three of us got wasted, he'd come to our aid. We had our drinks while cheering up and half an hour later both of them were fully drunk. Jerry was passed out after two bottles of beer while Susan got drunk after four bottles. I was surprised that she was able to drink that much. The girl was blabbering about how she'll murder Ethan. I called Jason and he came to pick us up. The four of us got in his car. First, we dropped Jerry and then Susan who was about to vomit but didn't thankfully. Jason and I got back home and I dropped on the couch face-first. A warm hand on my back felt so soothing as he massaged my back. Jason slowly sat beh
"I heard a rumor about your blood and came looking for you here," She said, looking around afraid. My broad furrowed. Was she running away from someone? I noticed a small duffle bag on her shoulder and the condition of her clothes. She didn't look so good. "Where do you live?" I asked and she seemed scared by my question. Something sank inside me as I gently held her arm and pulled her shirt up. She has the same scars as mine. My heart stumbled into the deepest tunnel as I continued to stare at the scars. "Who?" I whispered. She was still looking around scared so I quickly let her in. I took her inside, closing the door. I made her sit in the lounge as I brought water for her. She thanked me quickly, chugging down the water. "Drink slowly, it's not going anywhere," I assured her and poured some more for her when she finished it. She thanked me after drinking. I sat beside her, still trying to wrap my head around reality. I remember that my father told me about my pack. He said w
April's pov. Jason had informed Connor not to let this information out as we have to keep Jenna safe. Jason and I had looked for an apartment for her. We rented it out for her. It's very close to our house. She didn't want us to pay the deposit so I assured her not to worry about it. She could return the favor by keeping herself safe and happy. Jenna was happy and looked so relieved. Seeing her like this made me happy as well. I bought some furniture for her and filled her kitchen. She was so thankful. On the other hand, Jason had called Ethan and they've been looking into this black market and the rogues that were running this business. I bought a few clothes for Jenna and she requested me to look for a job for her. I told her to rest for a couple of days but she persisted in working sooner so both of us looked for a job for her together. She told me she never got to continue her study after her mother died and her father lost all his money in debt. I asked her if she wants to
My brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" I asked worriedly. "Three of our pack members were found dead near the territory. The pack doctor said that the reason for their death is magic. The rumor that witches are attacking werewolves is spreading like wildfire," Lily said and my heart stuttered in an unknown fear. "But the last of their kind is dead. How is it possible that they are still alive?" I asked. "I don't know if it's true or not but these rumors are spreading like wildfire. I'm afraid things would take an ugly turn if we didn't take action against it soon," She said. She seemed genuinely worried. "Don't worry Lily, everything will get better. Jason had told me that Alpha King Logan had been looking into this matter, and a week back a dead body was found in Julie's pack as well," I informed her. "I'm just scared. I'm not even taking out Oliver in the park because of the fear of these witches," She said. We talked a bit more and I assured her not to worry too much.
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
