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
"Here, happy birthday," Ethan rasped forwarding the box which had a bracelet in it. "Why?" She asked dubiously as he rolled his eyes. "Because it's your birthday," He said in a duh tone. She grabbed the box and their fingers touched. Zap of current ran down his spine at the touch and the most alluring scent filled his senses. His murky green eyes widened and pupils dilated as his wolf surged forward. "Mate!"Ethan and Susan said at the same time. She abruptly jerked her hand back causing the box to fall on the grass as they couldn't break eye contact. It was as if breath got stuck in her throat and her tongue felt heavy. She couldn't form a single word. There was a severe shortcircuit in her head as she gaped at him. Out of billions of people, her mate was Ethan. The one who gets on her nerves all the time and leaves no stone unturned to annoy her. The biggest playboy aka an excellent flirt was her mate. Ethan was the best example of men she hates. As the reality dawned on her
Susan breathed in deeply as she repeated the words in her head again and again. She was going to face Ethan today. She had thought hard about it for the past two days. She couldn't accept him as her mate, Susan never wanted a mate in the first place and Ethan was the type of guy she hates the most. A complete flirt and a playboy. It would be better for both of them if they reject each other. Susan could let things be just as it is. But she had issues. She couldn't perform simple daily life tasks properly when something was eating her brain. And currently, Ethan was on her mind 24/7. She couldn't even concentrate on her studies while her exams were right around the corner. Susan parked her car outside his restaurant. She just hoped he would be there or else she had to drop by another day just to meet him. Susan made her way into the restaurant as the manager greeted her. He recognized her as one of Ethan's close friends as she had come here with April and Jason. "Ma'am please this
Susan reached home and stomped into her room. Her mother was at work. She was a nurse so she often has shifts at different times and whenever she leaves, she'll make sure to leave a sticky note on the fridge informing her about her schedule. Susan trudged into her room and slammed the door shut with force. She clenched her fists and tried not to scream in rage. The nerve of him to corner her like that. She wants to slap him to death. That Moron. Jerk. Bastard. She plopped on the bed face first and punched the pillow multiple times thinking that it was Ethan's face she was hitting. Something moved on her arm as she glanced to find the bracelet that he had put on her. Sitting up straight she took it off and threw it at the wall in anger as it fell on the floor with a light clink. Her phone dinged and she checked it was the reminder about her online article which she had to submit before twelve. She grumpily got up and got to work. Her mother wanted to handle all the expenses of her
"Susan, bring Ethan here, I've set the table," He was taken off guard by Blair's sudden voice. Taking advantage of that Susan pushed off him as she stumbled to her feet and quickly moved away from him while glaring daggers in his way. "You better follow me," She gritted before stomping into the kitchen which was big enough to have a small four-seater dining table on the side. Susan grumpily took her seat and started eating her cold food while her mother served warm pancakes to the jerk sitting to her right. Blair sat opposite Susan as she initiated the conversation with Ethan. "So when did you guys find out you are mates? On her birthday or some other day?" Blair asked. "On her birthday. While I was handing her her birthday present under the moonlight. It was a beautiful sight," He said with twinkling eyes and Blair beamed at him but then she gave a side eye to Susan. Which meant she needed an explanation after Ethan would leave. "That's beautiful," Blair commented as they quietl
