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
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. The sensations that
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
