I peeked from behind Jason and a tall man with a good physique stood at some distance. He had brown hair and brown eyes. His facial features resembled that of Jason. Especially their beard. And then it hit me. He had said dearest brother to Jason. Oh, my God. He must be Damon. That is why he resembled Jason a little. "Hey, sister-in-law," Damon mused, waving his hand at me as the finest smirk was plastered on his face. He was surely good-looking but not as handsome as my Jason. "Hi," I said calmly and Jason stepped aside so I was now fully visible to the man in front of me. "Oh, you might not know me and I doubt Jason had the courtesy to tell you anything about my existence, well, I'm Damon. Jason's half-brother," He said walking over to me as he forwarded his hand for me to shake. I stared at his extended hand for a second before I shook it and then pulled back. "I'm April, it's nice to meet you, Damon. And for info, my mate is very courteous, he had told me about you," I said
Once Damon stepped out of the place I glanced at Jason only to find his jaw clenched and his glare fixed on the drink in his hand. The force with which he was holding the beer had his knuckles turned white and I was sure the glass would break any second. I placed my hand on his arm and leaned closed before dropping a kiss on his arm as he turned to glance at me. "It's okay," I whispered softly. I don't know why but at the moment I felt like reassuring him. I didn't like the vibes I got from Damon and his last statement about my eyes and heart must've triggered Jason. I believe Damon did it purposely to rile Jason. "Let's go home," I whispered softly as we got up to leave. Jason placed his hand on the small of my back as he paid and we walked out. His phone buzzed, and he answered the call. I glanced around only for my brows to furrow as I saw Julie getting in her car on the other side of the road. I tugged at Jason's arm and he followed my gaze before frowning. The girl looked li
"Julie?" I said confused as Jason stepped aside to let her in and he closed the door behind her. Julie looked around so out of the place before Jason came to stand beside her and I approached her as well. “I didn’t know you guys would be here, well, I came to meet Ethan,” She said looking at Ethan.“Me?” Ethan asked, a little surprised as the three of us looked at him.“Well, it’s not everyday a pretty girl comes to visit me so don’t my surprise will ya,” He muttered lowly and Julie chuckled as well as I but Jason just stared at his friend with a poker face."Do you know Ethan?" Jason asked, a little surprised by her sudden presence. "Well, I came here to visit him, it was Alpha Logan who told me his address." She informed. I glanced at Jason and we shared a look. It means we did see her at Jason’s pack, what did she want with Ethan? “I’m the great Ethan. Welcome to my house, it’s so nice to meet you.” He said cheekily stepping forward as Julie shook his hand with a smile.“I’ve
We stepped onto the porch and my phone dinged with a message. I checked a notification on the lock screen and it was from Lily. She was asking if I could hang out with her sometime. I decided to answer her later when Julie spoke up. "You both look perfect for each other," Julie said looking at my and Jason's picture on my phone's lock screen. I stared at the picture. Jason took it while kissing me on the cheek. I looked surprised at the captured moment and he was kissing me with his eyes closed. The surreal moment was captured beautifully. "Thank you," I whispered politely before stuffing my phone in my pocket. "April, I want to clear something up," Julie said and I faced her properly to listen to whatever she had to say. I wondered what Julie wanted to clear up. "I didn’t mean to stand between Jason and you. You might not believe me but this is the truth. I'm not one of those who wanted to tear apart two souls. To be honest, I do envy the love you both have and I also wanted my
I was going through my assignment when my phone dinged with a message. It was from an unknown number as I checked the message. 'Hi, Miss fireball. Why don’t you stop messing with my targets,' I read the message and a frown etched on my forehead. Miss fireball? Seriously. Which targets? Who is this person? I was just seconds ago from calling that number but then I decided not to. Ignoring would be the best option. Once I finished my assignment I stepped into our room and Jason was still working on his laptop. As soon as he saw me he closed it and passed me a tender smile before patting his side. Putting my things away I got on the bed into his arms and he kissed my temple as sleep engulfed us. The next morning I was in the library along with Jerry and Susie as we went through the lecture of the last class. After that, the two of them went to submit their assignments and I decided to pay a visit to my mate. I was walking down the corridor when all of a sudden someone grabbed my ar
I was alone in the lab going through the results of the recent medicines that we created using my blood. The batch came out pretty fine. My vision blurred for a second and I grasped the counter to balance myself. I've been feeling weak and it was because of the blood withdrawal. Sighing I blinked rapidly and tried to stay composed. Things have been hectic lately. The virus was spreading fast and the death rate had already increased to twenty-eight people. At first it was just symptoms and the ratio of death was none but with the passage of time it is becoming dangerously fatal which was bad if we didn't come out with a solution soon. I'm afraid it would take the shape of a disaster and huge loss for our kind to such an extent that this virus might wipe out our whole species. It was terrifying. We informed other packs to take necessary precautions and serious SOPs were followed. I heard the door opening in the background. "Connor, did you get the results of the patients?" I asked w
I couldn't sleep the whole night. I was worried sick as I lay there in his arms watching him sleep soundly. I kept on checking his temperature. I wanted to believe that he was alright but that nosebleed was one of the symptoms of the virus. He took it rather lightly and said it might be due to stress, though I wanted to believe him so badly, but at the same time, I was scared. I didn't realize when sleep consumed me and I gave in. Jason was still sleeping when I woke up. Dropping a kiss on his temple I stepped into the restroom and got rid of my clothes as I stood under the shower and let the warm water cascade down my body. It was relaxing. I was too drowned in my thoughts that I didn't realize when the door opened and veiny arms wrapped around my belly and my back was flushed against a hard naked chest. "Can I join?" He murmured in his deep raspy voice and I smiled. "You've already joined," I pointed out and in response, he nibbled on my earlobe. Moving further he suds some s
He calmly talked to Leon on the phone and it seemed like Leon explained almost everything to him whatever we both talked about. Jason has been so cautious for me later. He makes sure I eat plenty of food and stay hydrated. Though I didn't let it show much, he has noticed me getting dizzy a couple of times in the past few days and it made him worry for me. Once he ended the call I was sure I'm gonna get some solid scolding but Jason quietly tossed my phone on the bed and walked past me out of the room and I blinked at his retreating back. Why wasn't he scolding me? I quietly walked behind him as he stepped into the kitchen. "I've set the table," I said in a small voice but he didn't answer me. Instead, he grabbed some bread and threw a piece of cheese in it before taking a chunk of it in his mouth, he swallowed the dry bread before grabbing a water bottle from the fridge and walking out. Suddenly my heart felt heavy and my stomach churned. Why was he ignoring me like this? This wa
