"Please, have a seat." He said in a tense voice but I didn't move from my place and kept staring at him for an explanation. He couldn't see it on my face but my heart was aching in pain.Oddly enough I felt betrayed. After everything, I went through a lot in life. I should be accustomed to heartbreak and ache but still, it hurts too much. Every time, the people closest to me hurt me the most. I was persistent in keeping the walls around my heart high and unbreakable and yet here I was. I let my guard down. I let Jason in. I let myself feel for him. He won my heart over and over again only to end up hurting me like this. But then again, he was just a human and human tends to make mistakes. But he is my mate. He shouldn't be hiding things from me. From his mate. In fact, he should trust me the most. The ache in my heart intensified as our gaze clashed."Angel, it's not what you're thinking. I never agreed to this marriage in the first place. My father is forcing this on me and I've bee
I left university. I walked down the street aimlessly as millions of thoughts raced through my mind. Jason and Julie being forced to marry each other, just the word marrying referring to both of them had my inside curling up in anxiety.Never in a billion years, I could've thought about such a thing. It was terrifying. I couldn't imagine the thought of losing Jason and here his father was forcing him to marry Julie. I know he would fight for us, but what if he gets married to Julie under pressure? What then? What will I do? Just the thought of it had my stomach knotting up. I know he also feels terrible under pressure, but I want to fight by his side, rather than see him and his "fiancée" help and trust each other, and I'm the third wheel. I've been sore just thinking about it. But he didn't want to worry me.I was frustrated, angry, and scared as my eyes fell on the bar. Without much thought, I went to drink. It was afternoon, so the bar was almost empty with just a few people aro
Disappoint washed over me because I thought it was Jason but to my surprise, the man was none other than Leon.What was he doing here? But does it really matter?I was still thankful that he helped me on time. I straightened up and watched as Leon walked to the groaning Ryan. "What the hell!" Ryan barked as he tried to stand.Leon grabbed his collar, yanked him up, and glared at him. "Who the hell are you?" Ryan grumbled trying to free himself. Leon glared at him coldly. "I could get you arrested for harassing her, you know." He sneered at Ryan who flinched. "She's my friend. Who are you to get involved in our matter? Let me go, I'm just talking to her," Ryan gritted as he tried to free himself but Leon jerked him closer with force."You don't even want to know who I am," Leon sneered and Ryan seemed terrified of Leon because Leon was using his Alpha aura which always instills fear in humans without them knowing what was happening."Leon," I said calmly as I stepped towards him. He
I was shocked and for a second I thought I heard him wrong, but he kept looking at me dead seriously, I gulped uncomfortably. He knows, I have a mate and I love him and he still wants me to join him.I bit the inside of my cheek contemplating how to refuse him politely as I focused my gaze on my food. All of a sudden I was tense and nervous.He chuckled throatily and I glanced at him surprised when our gaze collided. "Relax, I was joking." He said calmly but why did it seem like he wasn't joking at all?His eyes bore a serious expression but his lips said something else. He wasn't joking but I will not pinpoint it because then the atmosphere would get awkward."I was pretty persistent on making you my Luna just a few days ago. Because I know I won't be able to find such an amazing Luna like you. But I've given up on it since you have found your love and mate in the same person." He said and I lowered my gaze breathing in deeply.What did he mean by giving up? Did he really want me to
Jason stared at me for the longest of time and I couldn't bring myself to break the contact. His eyes spoke so many things but his lips refused to move. It seemed like he wanted to talk to me but couldn't find the right words. Ethan's groan of pain brought us out of our stupor. "April, can you get the first aid kit in the guestroom, please," Jason said hurriedly as he helped the limping Ethan inside.I hurried over to them and I quickly closed the door, bolting it before hurrying to get the stuff. Ethan was hurt on the back and it was claw marks. It could be a rogue attack, I hoped the injuries weren't serious as I made my way to the guest room but paused hearing the anger laced in Jason's hushed voice."I told you not to handle this task alone," Jason chided and Ethan grunted in pain as he lay on his front on the bed while Jason was cleaning his wound."It was just pack-related stuff, Jason. How the f*ck would I know I'll be attacked like this?" Ethan grunted in pain."Did you see
I stayed some time in the library with Jerry because he always comes early. He even helped explain the topic from yesterday's last class. We both get to our class together. The first class was Jason’s, he walked inside as everyone quieted down. He was holding a coffee. At the beginning of the lesson, Jason asked some questions. A couple of students raised their hands but ended up giving the wrong answers, though they were right about a point or two, he didn’t get the proper answer until I raised my hand and our eyes met. He jutted his chin out, permitting me to answer as I stood up. I answered his questions accurately, and he gave me the coffee as a reward. I noticed how a few of the girls glared at me. I took the coffee from his hand without looking him in the eyes because I didn't know how I'll be able to control my expression in front of the whole class, out of which at least a quarter of the girls was drilling holes in my head with their piercing gazes. My brows furrowed whe
Jason's loud growl had me stiffening up as I flinched. Leon's hold on me tightened for a fraction of a second maybe because he was startled too.I grabbed his shoulder and slowly turned around to face him.Jason stood a few feet away from us with an angry scowl sitting on his glabella. His sharp blue eyes were swarming with rage. His sharp jaw was clenched and his fingers were curled into fists. He seemed furious.My eyes bounced around and to my relief, there was no one there."Jason," I whispered in a small voice. It wasn't like I was doing anything wrong then why was my voice coming out small and scared?The air around us was crackling with thick tension. "This is not what you're thinking," Leon said in a serious tone as I let go of his shoulder and he stepped ahead of me facing Jason who was glaring at him."Enlighten me on what I'm thinking?" Jason gritted and I frowned. Why was he being so angry? Leon just saved me from a fall but then again, he might've seen it from a different
"Open the door for me, April," Jason whispered as I shuffled for the key in his back pocket.We were standing outside the door. He was carrying me in his arms while I tried to grab the key. Once I got a hold of it I pulled it out. He leaned closer to the door and I smoothly unlocked it."You can put me down," I whispered but he shook his head adamantly while stepping inside as he kicked the door close."Oh, you guys are back," I stiffened hearing Ethan's voice and red tinted my cheeks in embarrassment as my arms around Jason's neck tightened. It completely slipped my mind that Ethan was at our place."What happened to her?" Ethan asked concerned while staring at my patched feet. "I…uh… slipped and got my ankle sprained," I mumbled."Why the hell are you out of bed idiot!" Jason grumbled as he walked inside and gently put me down on the sofa and turned to glare at Ethan who was chilling on the couch."I was bored," He said casually and I frowned at him. He was seriously injured and it
