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
For the first few seconds, I was too traumatized to move and stood there still and he sucked the blood on my lips. His teeth dug into another spot on my lower lip as my eyes shut close and I cried out in pain which he swallowed. He was sucking the blood. My eyes flew wide after the shock of the first few seconds dissipated. I started struggling as years poured out of my eyes. What has happened to him? This isn't my Jason. My Jason would never hurt me like this. My heart bleeds in despair. He was too strong. No matter how much I tried I couldn't get out of his hold. His hold on my hair and jaw was so deadly lethal and painful. I felt as if he would rip my hair from my scalp. I couldn't breathe. I tried to pull just enough to breathe but he didn't let me. He let out an animalistic growl before latching on my lower lip again. Now as Jason was being rough with me I couldn't help but feel how cruel and overpowering he could be but my Jason has never touched me so roughly before. My
"You're not safe with me April," He said, trying to leave but I blocked his way. "I'm pretty much safe with my mate," I said calmly and he shook his head looking conflicted. It was obvious he didn't want to leave me alone but at the same time, he couldn't compromise my safety by staying with me. "I can't, April. It kills me to know I'm the one who hurt you," He said, staring at my lips and I leaped forward and hugged him tightly. He froze and didn't attempt to hug me back. His muscles were tense, but I didn't let go. "Please, hug me back," I murmured almost brokenly and his arms instantly wrapped around me as he engulfed me in a tight hug. I was on my toes as he dipped his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent deeply to calm down. We parted and I grabbed his hand as we got on the bed. I was hesitant and lay away from me but I pulled him into my arms and cuddled him, his head resting on my chest. The raw guilt in his eyes was bothering me. I know it wasn't his fault,
His violet eyes had my insides cooling in fear. He abruptly got out of bed and heaved looking wildly at me. My heart was pending in my ears as I pulled to my feet and got out of bed. He sneered lowly and his canines emerged and his claws extended. His head was jerking in a tilt as if he was trying to control the monster inside him. My heart broke into millions of pieces seeing him like this. "Go. April!" He sneered and I flinched at his loud voice. "I... I can't leave you," I whispered, shakily taking a step towards him but he held his head and stepped back. He was blinking rapidly and shaking his head to stay in his senses. I took another step closer as he raised his hand motioning me to stop coming any closer to him. "I said leave!" He growled before prowling towards me as he grabbed my arm and tried to push me out of our room. I could hear footsteps running in our direction so I instantly locked the room and the next thing there was a loud banging on the door. "April! Are
