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

    Time flies and the test is due tomorrow. Jason and I were sitting in the lounge with books and notes sprawled all over the table."You'll do good, stop worrying." He said but I shook my head."Ask me a few questions," I insisted and he asked me a few conceptual questions. I was able to answer them all but my nervousness won't fade away.While sitting I was slightly moving back and forth, my lips moving as I continued to recall a few topics, especially the ones I think I'd forgotten. But when I recall them I still remember them but I do feel like I've forgotten everything I've memorized."April," I was so drowned in myself that I didn't hear him."April!" "Huh!" I looked at him with wide eyes."Yes?" I asked."Calm down," He said and I bobbed my head."I'm fine," I blurted out and he sighed.I stiffened when he grabbed my small hand in his large one and gazed into my eyes. "Stop worrying, April. You will do amazing tomorrow," He said, squeezing my hand and I breathed in deeply looking

    It’s almost bedtime and I am still reading when Jason took my book and placed it on the table. “ Relax April. It’s time for bed.” He said strictly and I pouted. I know I couldn't sleep with all the nervousness swarming in my belly.“I can’t sleep. I’m just too nervous.” I mumbled. “Then let's watch a movie,” He suggested. "Do you think it's a good idea?" I asked. Jason went through the movies on Netflix before choosing a romantic movie as he played it on the laptop.I was sitting on the couch with the blanket on my legs as Jason took a seat beside me rather close. He kept the laptop on his thighs as the movie started."What if I forget what I've learned?" I asked him and he chuckled. "The movie will divert your mind. You need to relax, not stress over it." He said and I pouted before focusing on the movie.Slowly I got focused on the movie, it was so interesting. The atmosphere was cozy and I felt relaxed. I barely noticed when Jason shuffled closer to me getting inside the blanket

    I was too stunned to speak about this sudden abruption. Stella was screaming traitors and the rage in her eyes made no sense."What?" I was baffled by the situation."Don't pretend to be so innocent!" Stella screamed at me and my frown deepened."What the hell are you talking about?" My voice came out louder and more harshly than I intended to sound."You're a traitor. You both are f*cking traitors!" She screamed at us as I looked at Jason who had a cold look on his face. His jaw was clenched and he seemed mad.I tried to wrap my mind around what was happening but I don't understand anything."What are you saying? Why are we traitors?" I tried to ask a question but she was hysterical."You are a f*cking traitor. Kill her Sebastian and cut down this curse of her mate bond with Liam forever. If there was no mate bond, he would clear his mind and stop defending this b*tch. She needs to pay for hurting our pack! " Stella was yelling like a maniac and I frowned.Hurt the pack??? What is sh

    "What happened to you guys?" Connor asked, shocked."We were attacked," Jason gritted as he tried to stay stable."What the hell?" Connor grumbled looking around.I tried to stand up but Jason held his arm out stopping me and kept me hidden behind his huge form.Jason seemed wary of Connor as Jason wiped the blood from his mouth and tried his best to hide me behind him."Hospital Jason," I said as I saw more blood on his torso."Let's go," I said and he shook his head. "We must get home," He said and I panicked as Connor approached us."You need to get treatment," Connor said but Jason was being stubborn again which made me all teary."Please, Jason. Stop being stubborn. You need immediate treatment, you are bleeding badly," I said in a shaky voice as big fat tears kissed my cheeks making him pause. His eyes softened and he sighed."Okay," He agreed as Connor came to his side and we helped into the car before we headed to the hospital. I waited at the door of the operating room, my f

    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
