Each passing second was going by slowly as I waited for dawn to break but it still had time. My mind was racing with millions of thoughts at a time. I couldn't help but ponder what if Damon killed all of my friends even after I marry him then what? I'm not certain about the future but marrying him would be stupid of me. I was drowned in my thoughts when the door unlocked causing me to jump in fright but the least expected person showed up.Stella stepped inside as she closed the door behind her and locked it. She took steps inside before coming to a halt in front of me. I couldn't help but glare at her. Because of her Liam forced his pack to be the mole and betray King Logan and Jason. "What do you want?" I asked her curtly. I didn't want to talk to her after what she did all this time. "I want you to escape," She said and my brows shot up. I couldn't help but notice she looked so weak and pale up close. Huge dark circles cocooned her eyes, she looked like a corpse of skin and bo
Third person's POV. April groaned. A severe pain shot through her head slowly taking down her body. The back of her eyes throbbed in sheer pain as she tried to open them. She shifted her weight a little and could feel silk under her touch. With much difficulty, she slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she noticed after clearing her blurry vision was the unfamiliar ceiling. April blinked twice and then her eyes widened when a strong scent wafted through her nose. Her head snapped to her right where a man lay beside her. He was laying on his front so his back was to her with his face facing the other side. The shock was too much as she jerked away only to fall off the bed wincing in pain. April breathed in deeply as her fear-filled eyes fell on the man again. It was the familiar scent in the air which made her realize the guy was none other than Liam. She vaguely recalled someone knocked her out. She doubted it was Stella's plan all along but looking at the unconscious Liam
None said a word as deadly silence surrounded them. Everyone watched the bride with bated breath. Jason was expecting April to jump on him. Hug the life out of him as soon as she saw him but nothing of that sort happened. She stood there rooted to her spot not moving and not saying a word. Damon let go of her cold hands as he faced Jason. "She agreed to marry me," Damon tried to argue. "She's my f*cking mate!" Jason snarled coldly. His voice roared through the crowd, almost causing goosebumps to lace their body. He expectantly looked at the bride but April was silent as the night. His heart stuttered. Leon and Martin rushed out of the crowd and they hurried over to Jason. Jason hasn't come alone. Dave had come along with him while Nick was still looking after King Logan who had got his consciousness back and was still on bed rest. Jason appeared tough and fine but he was still recovering. "April?" Damon called but the bride didn't move an inch. All of a sudden April's scent was
April's pov. I was sniffing as Jason wrapped his arms around my frame. He buried his face in the crook of my neck as I let my tears fall silently. I hugged him tightly with my eyes closed inhaling his scent deeply. I felt at peace. My heart thumped in my ears as I tried to calm my erratically beating heart down. A sob of happiness tore through my lips as Jason rubbed my back. His fingers threaded into my locks as he massaged my scalp. None of us was able to form a word, we were too overwhelmed with all the emotions enveloping us.More tears followed. Fisting his shirt I hid my face in his shoulder and let the sobs flow through. I fell to my knees with him still holding me. I was full-blown crying. We were in the mini waiting room at the venue. I don't know how I ended up here. I just know Jason was holding me. He was alive. My mate was alive. "Shhh baby, it's okay," Jason whispered, kissing my ear as I tried to calm down. I don't know for how long I kept on crying there in his ar
April's pov. I faintly noticed that Jason unlocked the door and we stumbled inside our house. He kicked the door close, not breaking the kiss as he locked it. I was on my toes with my lips pressed to his as we kissed passionately. None of us wanted to break the kiss. I gasped when he scooped me up in his arms. I wrapped my legs around his torso and grabbed the nape of his neck. Kissing him searingly. Jason grunted as he carried me up the stairs. All of a sudden I recalled what Dave had told me. Jason's wound on the back still hasn't healed. It was too deep. I break the kiss breathing heavily. "Jason put me down," I said in a raspy voice as a frown caressed his beautiful thick brows. "I don't want to," He husked as I gripped his shoulders tightly, wiggling my legs to get down. "Your wound, it's not healed. Put me down," I said but he scoffed. "I'm fine and you're light as a feather," To emphasize he tossed me up in the air a tiny bit before catching me only to wince causing me
Jason caressed my hair as I lay half-cuddled on top of him. His arm wrapped securely around my waist. Our naked bodies entangled together. The soft beating of his heart was like a lullaby to me. I don't know what time it was; probably morning. I don't know how long we made love to each other and then we both slept. And now I woke up with Jason gently caressing my hair. I don't know how long he was up. Soothing silence engulfed us as we found peace in each other's presence. "I'll end the war," He rasped. His deep morning voice caressed my ears. I knew he would end the war. I trust him with all my heart. "I know," I whispered. My cheek squished on his sturdy chest. Jason exerted his body a lot last night and ended up wincing in pain in the end. His wound on his back got stretched, which was his cue to finally stop. Otherwise, I don't know if he would've stopped if not for the wound. "Jason," I whispered his name almost like a prayer. My heart was thumping in my ears. "I want to t
Third person's pov. Jason stepped into the warehouse that stank like rotten bodies, piss, and blood. The guards parted ways to let him in as he prowled to the room with a powerful gait. The door was opened for him as he stepped inside. All the men stepped aside when Jason stalked into the room. A thick aura of vicious revenge oozed out of him in waves. The guys held their breaths as they gulped seeing that lethal look on Jason's face. They had always seen the man smiling and helping everyone. He had shown up his mad side but this avatar of his was chilling them to their bones. He looked vicious. Brutally cruel. Jason halted right in front of Damon who was tied to a chair with silver chains. "Untie him," Jason said in a calm voice. But the underlying menace in his deep voice had the temperature of the room dropping. Derick who was also tied to another chair a bit too far watched the scene unfold with fearful eyes. He knew what they had made April go through and now Jason was h
Third person's pov April walked down the street after having coffee at the nearest coffee shop. She was headed to the university to meet Jason when all of a sudden a huge figure blocked her way. She paused. Her eyes narrowed when she recognized those brown orbs. It was Liam. April hasn't seen Liam since she woke up beside him when Stella helped her to run. Liam never contacted her either. "April," He breathed her name in a painful whisper. "What do you want Liam?" She asked calmly. Protectively placing her hand on her seven months pregnant belly. "I want to apologize," He said, causing her to look away. What was there left for him to apologize? "I know I've only ever hurt you and I'm sorry, I wanted to save you from Damon but my hands were tied-" "Enough Liam. I don't want to hear about the past," She said curtly. "I need one last favor from you," He said almost brokenly. Liam pulled out a gun and forwarded it to her. "Kill me, please. Stella is gone. You're happy in yo
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
