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
The next day, Jason was still asleep when I called Leon. He answered on the second call and I asked him about Fredrick. He told me he was fine and doing okay after I gave him treatment. I further asked him if the virus had spread further in his pack and he gave me an affirmative answer. I ended the call after that. It confirmed our suspicions – the stronger the wolf is, the worse he would be affected by the virus. So Jason relapsed more frequently than Fredrick did. Later at the lab, I kept Jason under supervision. Judging from Jason’s activities, we guessed that the spell was working on the wolves while the virus was working on the body. Then it can be concluded that the witch/wizard must know medicine, or how could she combine them? I couldn't help but think there was no doubt that it was Stella who inspired her/him whoever that person is, but there was still a question, how did she/he bring the virus into the pack? "I don't think Stella did it, it was impossible for her to ge
"Hey," He said in a gentle tone as I looked at him with a stern face. I don't understand why he would show up after everything that has happened. I didn't answer him. I least expected him to show up like this so I didn't know how to talk to him. I thought I might never see him again and it was for good but here he was staring at me and all I could remember were those horrible memories that I just wanted to forget. I tried to walk past him but he blocked my way. "At least listen to me, April. It's not what you're thinking." He said as I stepped back and glared at him. "I just want to thank you for your help after the attack, at that time I was not in the right state of mind and I'm sorry but I've let go of our previous feud. I wanted to apologize," He said and I didn't say anything and let him continue just so he could leave. "You were the most amazing Luna. After you left I didn't know how to handle my pack but I tried and now I've become a responsible Alpha," He said though I did
"You'll tell me everything, now go to my office," Liam gritted as Stella wiped her tears and disappeared into the building. Liam rubbed a hand down his face as he looked at her. "I think you guys could get to know more, come on in," Liam said as he turned to walk into the building. "You don't have to go in April. If you want you could wait for me in the car," Jason said rubbing my arms and I passed him a soft reassuring smile. We stepped into Liam's office and Stella was sitting on the chair, she didn't glance at us once, it was obvious she was crying. Liam motioned us to sit as we took the couch. "Stella, tell me why did you do all this?" Liam asked her softly as she looked up at him with teary eyes. "I... I.." She swallowed thickly and he motioned her to speak up. "I wanted to curse April, I wanted to destroy her, she had ruined our lives. How dare she live so happily after taking everything away from us. I can’t see her happy when we are suffering. I wanted to hurt her in any
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
