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
"Good riddance. I'm gonna sleep the whole week," Susan grinned and April smiled at her. They just stepped out of the exam Hall after their last exam. "Same. I couldn't even sleep a blink. I even pulled night shifts for good grades," April said. "As if Jason would let you sleep," Susan mused, wiggling her brows, earning a shocked gasp from April as she slapped her arm playfully. "What? I could bet you deprived him of all the love in the past week. He would jump you as soon as you get home-" April clamped her mouth shut while glaring at her. "Stop," She grumbled and Susan raised her hands in surrender as April let her go. "Enough of me. Tell me about yourself. How are you doing? I know you must have a lot on your mind. If you want to share, I'm always here," April said gently as Susan sighed, rubbing a hand down her face. All the problems came back to her with full force and the basic core of her problem was Ethan. "He showed up at my house two weeks back. He told my mom he's my m
Ethan had done a background check on Susan. He knew it was wrong but he just wanted to know why she loathed men so much and what he found out was unexpected. Her father had left her mother when she got pregnant with their first child. He fell in love with another woman and for that woman, he left his mate who was Susan's mom. When Susan grew up a little she used to ask about her father because all of her friends had a father except for her. At first, her mother used to tell her that her father had been working abroad and would come back one day but years passed and he never returned. She was in high school when she dug up her father on her own and found out what happened. She then confronted her mom who told her the truth and ever since then, she hated men to the core. If Susan found out that Ethan got such sensitive information about her life she would kill him for sure so it was better for him not to let her find out that he knows all of that. Now he knows how he had to deal wi
