I walked up to Jason and greeted him. He looked upset as he replied calmly.

He put in the key as the door unlocked and we stepped inside silently.

"Lily liked the cookies. I played with Oliver, her baby boy. He's so cute and the dinner was delicious." I said, trying to cheer up the mood a little.

"Great," He said plainly as he removed his coat and placed it on the sofa.

"How did your dinner go with your mentor? Did you have a good time?" I asked and he just shrugged his massive shoulders while removing his wristwatch.

"It was okay," He replied as I fumbled with the hem of my shirt awkwardly.

Why wasn't he talking to me normally? He wasn't even looking at me while replying. Maybe he thought that was boring?

"You know what, Leon gave me a weird suggestion at dinner, he said I could take Luna's position as a job. How could he think of Luna as a job?" I said, pondering Leon's words.

Jason didn’t even reply to me this time, he was just staring at the floor with his hands in his pants pock

    Jason's pov I noticed that April hesitated to walk into the kitchen after noticing me sitting in the lounge. We didn't come across each other after she gave me soup and retired to her room. I couldn't help but continue to think about how she treated my wounds. She was so close to me that I could feel her warmth. Her scent and the heat of her body were doing things to me making my beast go crazy but I controlled the urge. It took a lot of my restraint not to kiss her then and there when her soft lips caressed my chest accidentally when she was wrapping the bandage around my abdomen.The sexual tension between us was thick and I knew she could feel it too. I thought the things between us would get awkward and I still wasn't sure.I was reading my book and she seemed to be contemplating whether to greet me or not. I think she didn’t know that I’m aware of her presence. She cleared her throat and greeted me as I gave her a warm smile. She was awkward and hesitant, fidgeting with her fi

    April's povThe next morning I woke up early. After having a quick shower I changed into a new set of clothes and made my way into the kitchen.I searched for the ingredients and started making breakfast for myself and Jason. The kitchen is always fully stocked. Every day he would ask me if I needed anything and I'll thank him, saying there was nothing I needed because he has already provided me with everything.I set the table when he descended down the stairs wearing his casual clothing. He was wearing a loose shirt with sweats. His hair was ruffled and wet. 'He looked kinda cute,' Frea mused in my head and I scolded her in my head."Breakfast is ready," I passed him a smile as he took a seat opposite mine and served himself. We started eating our breakfast as I pondered my thoughts. I've been thinking about it lately but I haven't voiced it out yet."Jason," I called him, garnering his attention."I thought I would live here only for a few days, but now it seems it will be long,"

    I got ready. I wore a beautiful peach dress. It reached above my knees and was flowy, shoulderless. Lily gifted this to me a year back and it's beautiful. I did light makeup, some mascara, and gloss. I let my hair loose as it cascaded down my back in waves.I stepped out of the room and found Jason in the lounge. He was wearing a crisp white button-down shirt with black slacks. His hair was gelled back and he looked nice.'Handsome Hunk,' Frea hooted in my head and my eyes widened in embarrassment. Thank God wolves couldn't talk out loud cause Frea would've surely embarrassed me in a lot of places."You look beautiful," He complimented as his eyes sneaked a glance at me from head to toe."Thank you," I whispered with my heart beating faster.He escorted me out of the house and helped me into his car. Taking the driver seat he put the car to drive.Within a few minutes, we reached the restaurant as it was close by. Jason passed the keys to the valet and opened the door for me. The ma

    My eyes shot open wide as I abruptly sat up on the bed and gasped. Sweat trickled down my temple as I checked my arms and looked at them wide eyes to find any blood all over but there was nothing. My chest was heaving up and down with fast breaths as my eyes scanned my room.I couldn't tell if it was reality or a nightmare. I squinted my eyes to find the lurking shadows in the darkness of my room. I was afraid that at any moment Liam would come out of the shadows and hurt me.A shrill scream escaped my lips as my heart came to my mouth when my door was knocked. "April?" I heard the deep panicked stricken voice of Jason as I cupped my mouth shut trying to breathe."It's okay, April. You're safe. I'm here for you," His voice was gentle but held worry for me."It was just a nightmare. I heard your muffled cries. You're safe, April." He said as I touched my cheeks to find them wet. I was crying.His words were comforting. "Can I come in?" He asked as I immediately wiped my tears."Y..yes

    Jason parked the car as we got out and headed into my high school. We went straight into the administration department where I submitted my old high school card and requested them for my transcript.They asked us to wait for a while, we waited for approx ten minutes in the waiting area before I was called and they handed me a file to which my transcripts were attached.I thanked them as we headed out of the administration department."Jason? Do you have some time? I'd like to show you something," I said."Yes, I'm free for today. And we still have two hours as per your study planner," He said looking at me."Then follow me," I mused and he smiled cluelessly. "Where?" He asked, slipping his hands into his jeans pockets."It's a surprise," I turned around to walk as he followed right behind me.As I passed through the corridors, I couldn't help myself as the bitter old memories flashed in front of my eyes. There wasn't a place where Stella didn't bully or humiliate me. Though she was y

    He noticed me looking at him."Everything okay?" I asked, seeing the serious expression on his face."It's Ethan, he got injured." He said and my brows furrowed."Is he okay?" I asked."I will go to him after dropping you," He said."I will go too," I said as he shook his head."I'll take you to him later," He said as he came to my side and opened the door for me as I got into the car.He took the driver's seat and roared the engine to life. Reversing out of the parking lot he put the car into drive.I wanted to go with him and visit Ethan, but if he says he would take me later then it's fine. I hope Ethan is fine."Jason, you could drop me near the bus stop. I'll take the bus, you should go to Ethan." "No, first I'll drop you home safely." He said. I noticed as he gripped the steering wheel with such force that his knuckles turned white.I realized that there was something he was hiding from me.All of sudden it occurred to me that when Jason came to Liam's pack for the first time,

    Jason’s pov Ethan mind-linked me, he told me that he was asked to participate in an attack on a pack and he got injured, he needed my help. I was muddled. He didn't sound too bad, so I decided to drive April home first, I didn't want to see another Alpha Leon driving my mate home. That time it was frustrating enough. Once I made sure that April locked the door and was safely home. I put the car into drive. On the way I was thinking, why did it happen? The Blue Moon pack hasn't launched an attack in years. Alpha Logan was trying to build a good image to help him run for Alpha King's title. And why was Ethan asked to participate in it? Although he’s a warrior, he didn’t like killing, so he paid an annual fee for the pack to avoid pack work, that’s why he ran his own business of a restaurant, and Alpha Logan agreed to it. It didn't make sense. There was something fishy and if my father was behind all this then definitely something isn't right. When I got to Ethan’s place, he was slig

    April's pov I felt a warm touch on my lips which stirred me out of my sleep. When I opened my eyes, I saw Jason crouching on the floor very close to my face. With one arm propped up on the back of the couch and the other next to me, I was enveloped in his shadow as he looked down on me from above. He was hovering over me. His bluish hues peered down at me as we looked at each other and the time seemed to stand still. His hair was down covering his forehead. His thick brows were together as if he was restraining himself from something. My eyes glided to his pink full lips, his light stubble gave him a rugged look and his eyes. Those ocean pools looked at me as if he could see right through my soul into the deepest darkest parts of my soul. There was this immense pull that I couldn't describe. My body yearned to disappear in his warmth and drown in his soul. I just wanted to pull him closer. To feel the warmth of his skin. My thoughts rattled my heart making no inhale sharply which w

    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.

    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
