"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
I pushed that man away and out of nowhere Liam came back running to save screaming Stella and my eyes locked with Dash who was running back over to me. 'I'm fine, go after Sofia,' I mind-linked him. 'Are you sure, you're okay?' He asked. 'I'm fine, Liam could handle this guy here,' I assured Jason who turned to go after Sofia but she disappeared. I couldn't see her as Jason looked for her but she was gone. Liam growled at the man who was now holding Stella hostage with his knife on her throat. "Don't you dare come closer or I'll slit your throat," The man barked at Liam as I cautiously helped Henry to the side and made him sit against the pole. He was barely conscious and bleeding badly. We need to take him to the hospital or we'll lose him. Jason came running over to us and that man pointed the knife at Jason. "Don't come closer or I'll kill her," He grounded. The man held Stella hostage and confronted Liam. Liam shifted and looked at Jason with a panicked look before he
"F*ck!" Jason hissed as he slammed his fist on the wall and glared at the floor. I walked over to him. And gently placed my palm on his back as his shoulders tensed before they relaxed. I rubbed his back soothingly. I know he was anxious. "It's okay, not every time things go as planned," I said gently as he pinched the bridge of his nose with his eyes shut. "I had given my word to Liam that I won't let anything happen to Stella and I couldn't keep my word," Jason said frustrated as he started pacing the room while rubbing his hands down his face. "Stella is alive. She'll be fine. Damon won't kill her without Alpha Logan's orders so we could still save her," I tried to reassure him but he shook his head. "I shouldn't have said such big words if I couldn't keep them," He grumbled as I stood in front of him and stopped him from pacing back and forth. I held his hands, gently rubbing his knuckles. "It's not your fault Jason. You just wanted to catch the real culprit. Don't bla
Pin-drop silence echoed around as I watched him stunned. I felt Julie stiffening beside me and when I looked at her. She had that same shocked expression marring her face. For a second I felt her eyes light up as they took in Leon and there was a slight quirk at the corner of her lips in the manner of a faint smile but it was gone as soon as it came. Leon marched inside looking at her with wide eyes. "Mate," It was Julie who said this again and confirmed for us that they are mates. Leon inhaled sharply and his eyes closed for a brief second, a sigh escaping past his lips. They both couldn't take their eyes off each other and I could tell it was the natural reaction under the mate bond.Ethan clapped his hands breaking the trance as he got to his feet and walked over to Leon and congratulated him. He then faced Julie. "Congratulations," He mused. Jason was smiling as well whereas I was so confused and worried. Why did he call Sarah at this moment? It seemed like I’m the only one w
