The loud yelling and screaming from outside had me sitting upright rather abruptly. I hurried to the window in my sleepy state to see the commotion only for my eyes to widen in surprise when I found a crowd of people charging forward on our street. "April!" The door burst open as Jason hurried inside. "Are you alright?" He grabbed my arms pulling me to his chest making sure I was alright. "I'm fine. What's all this commotion outside?" I asked. "Dozens of our people were found dead at the back of the alley," Jason said and my heart dropped. "What?" I whispered shakily. "They all are killed in the same way as the other dead bodies earlier. At first, we were sure it was done by a serial killer but this time there was a note with the dead bodies. It was confirmed that witches are behind these murders," Jason explained. I felt like my head was spinning. Just when everything is getting better, evil has to come back into our lives. "Where... Where are these people going?" I asked. "
April's pov. "This zone is dangerous. All the medics and backups would not cross this line," King Logan said while pointing at the redline on the map. The war has already started. There was a humongous amount of pressure and tension on every single person. This war was a matter of life and death and their whole species was on the line. "What happened to the troops we sent out last night?" Leon asked, pointing to a spot on the map where they had sent the troops. "They were killed!" Alpha Antonio spat. "What?" Jason snarled. "Our plan was perfect and how is it possible that not even one of our troop members survived?" Ethan asked. "Mole!" Jason gritted. "This explains why we are being defeated on every step, they already know what we are about to do, it's like we are sending our men to get slaughtered," Leon spat. "The plan we discussed right now. If this got out. We would know that the mole is from one of us," Ethan said. "And I'll make sure to kill that bastard," Jason grate
"Shhh baby," He whispered, caressing my back as I sniffed trying to control my sobs. I was all strong and composed but hearing Jason talking to Connor about my safety if anything happened to him just constricted my heart in pain. This made me realize how dangerous the situation was and how it could badly harm us. I couldn't even think about losing Jason. The thought of it had my body shivering in fright. God forbid if anything happened to him I might not be able to survive the heartache. I didn't want to go down those lanes of thought. "April," Jason cupped my cheek as he pulled me back to look at my face. I lowered my head, the quivering of my chin wasn't in my control as more tears brimmed my eyes blurring my vision. He tucked my hair behind my ear, raising my face but I kept my eyes closed. I didn't want Jason to see me like this, all broken and scared because it might affect his mindset for the battle tomorrow but my emotions weren't in my control and Jason was all I had with w
The next morning I woke up alone in the bed at the alarm I'd set. The sheets beside me were cold. Jason has left. I faintly remembered him kissing my lips as he whispered I love you. I thought it was a dream but it was real. Jason has left. I got out of bed noticing a small sticky note on the side table. 'Angel, I'm leaving. Don't worry about me. Do your job well and save as many lives as you could but don't overdo yourself. I'm proud of you. Love you the most. Forever yours,Jason.'My lower lip puckered out and I felt like crying. Controlling my emotions I got to my feet. I had to do my part. Once this was over, Jason and I would start a new life. I quickly showered and wore the uniform that I prepared for myself and my team as I left home. I met Jenna and my team outside the pack house. Grabbing the weapons for our safety we took our bags and headed to our destination. As soon as we got there we found out that the battle was almost to its end and many of the warriors were com
I don't know for how long I stayed in the hospital helping the survivors. I was so tired. My eyes kept glancing outside hoping that Jason would show up somehow but no matter how much time passed he didn't show up. Ethan was badly injured as Susan and I were treating him. We bandaged him up and he also started to heal because I fed him some of my blood secretly when he was unconscious rather than the capsule for quick healing. Ethan was awake now. "April," He whispered as I glanced at him. "Before the battle, Jason gave me this. He wanted me to give it to you when the battle ends," He said slowly because of pain, handing me a crumpled piece of paper that I took from him. Despair shadowed his features. I took the paper from him with shaky hands. "April you should go home and rest," Susan said, rubbing my arm as I gave her a faint nod. I hobbled out of the hospital. My team members greeted me but I quietly walked past them. I took a cab home. Throughout the way, I kept staring
I couldn't sleep the whole night as tears keep streaming down my temples as I wet the pillowI was hugging Jason's pillow to my chest inhaling his scent. Frea was as silent as the night. I tried to ask her so many times if she could feel Dash but she didn't respond. She was in agony just like me. I kept reading his letter again and again until I knew it by heart. The more I think about Jason the more my heart aches. I just know Jason couldn't leave me like this. He can't die on me but then why couldn't I feel the connection anymore? I've tried to mind-link him a thousand times but failed each time. The more time passed the more I felt my heart splitting open. Jason was a strong Alpha. How could he die like that? I don't believe this but the loss of connection with his wolf was only indicating one thing that he was no more. But I've heard that if someone's mate dies they feel brutal pain in their body and I didn't feel it but then again, many cases have come out in the past years
My head throbbed with pain as I tried to open my eyes but it felt like tons of weight was placed on my eyelids. I tried to move my body but I couldn't even raise my hand. Fleeting seconds passed by in a blur and I realized that my hands were restrained. I forced myself to wake up and with a gasp, my eyes shot open wide as I blinked several times to adjust to the darkness of the room. It took me a second to recall what had happened before I lost consciousness. Jenna called me to some place and then someone attacked me from behind. My eyes adjusted to the darkness. I found myself on the bed. I quickly got out of bed on my wobbly legs. As soon as I got to my feet I felt dizzy and fell back on the bed. I struggled against the binds on my wrists behind my back to no avail. I couldn't break them. The more I struggled the more it tightened, almost digging in my flesh. They appeared mystical. The thought that witches might've abducted me sent chills down my spine but why would Jenn
I felt light-headed. I don't know for long I was locked in this room. When I was sleeping someone came into the room and removed the binds. When I woke up there was no one in the room but my binds were gone. I could faintly notice Liam's scent in the air. He might've come into the room when I was sleeping. I searched the whole room for anything which I could use as a weapon but there was nothing and the door was locked. I tried to shift but I couldn't. Whatever they used to knock me out had some medicine in it which was refraining my wolf to take over. I was glad I could still feel Frea but I'm not sure when I'll be able to shift or use my strength to get out of this place. I still couldn't mind-link anyone. For the past few hours I've been banging on the door to let me out but no one answered. I wonder if someone has realized that I'm missing by now. I hope they can get me out of here soon. The door opened and Damon stepped in. He was holding a tray of food in his hand while a
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
