"Why are you sneaking into your room at this hour of the day?" Jake whispered, trying not to disturb his son, who was currently sleeping on his chest. Micah had been crying in the night and disturbing his mother, so Jake decided to take care of him and bring him out, hoping that would put him to sleep.And it worked, so he wasn't willing to lose all that hard work."Uhmm.." I stuttered, looking for a suitable word to say. I didn't do anything bad or whatever; I was already an adult, so I was free. But why does it feel like my parents caught me red-handed?"Where are you coming from?" He asked, and I tried to avoid his eyes. The air carried my scent to his nose, and he sniffed his air. His demeanour changed almost immediately, and he moved back, his nose flaring rapidly as he tried to get rid of the scent. "Ohh..""Yea." I answered awkwardly, and that alone answered all the questions."I see. But this is not a scent I want to be smelling on you." Frown lines narrated his handsome face,
Weekends came, and I found myself driving over to his place. This time, I informed Jake so he could cover my ass. I wasn't ready to risk anything, especially now that I knew it would be a regular occurrence.I met the guards that were there before, and this time they didn't ask questions; they only threw the gates wide open and let me in. And this time I needed no direction from his pack, and I went through the paved road, enjoying the ride. The journey took longer than intended because I took a little while to observe the place, and again, I was left in awe at the work Lucas had accomplished.I got to his house, packed my car, and trekked the rest of the way to his door. I knocked on the door, and this time Lucas was ready. He threw the door open and welcomed me with a sweet kiss before he proceeded to smother me in a hug, crushing me with his huge body. I was taken aback by the gesture, but I leaned into the hug, relishing it."For my love," he said as he gave me the flowers, and I
We were currently lying down on the bed, cuddling together; his arms were on my body, holding me close to him. Our chests were moving in sync as we tried to catch our breath after the intense workout. We had just finished another round of slow, sweet love making, and it was mind blowing.Steamy hot sex was nice and all that, but having your significant other slowly fuck you while looking at you dead in the eyes and whispering his love to you would always top the chart.It was so good that a tear ran down my face from getting all my nerves stimulated, and once again, I fell deeper in love with him. If we keep going at this rate, then there will be no need for me to stress myself over mundane things like trying to work out because Lucas's cock is already enough exercise for me.I sighed dreamily as I moved closer to him, making sure there wasn't any space between us. I dug my nose into his shoulders, throwing my legs over his body, and inhaled. The nostrils were overflowing with that h
On the other side of the world, Jason had been trying to get closer with his mate. It hadn't been easy because she was always busy, and she had made it her life goal to try and fight the bond. She had still refused to tell him why she had an aversion for the werewolf community, but he was determined to learn about it, no matter how long it took. The only obstacle standing in his way would be her head bodyguard. He was so protective of her and would rarely let anyone come close to her. Suzy had told him that he had always been there for her, and he knew why she had an aversion to werewolves, so that was why he was pretty protective. It didn't help that their first meeting was chaotic, so that should explain the hatred. Jason had taken up residence in her house because he figured it was the best thing to do. She had refuted it at first, stating that she needed her privacy and all that. But Jason knew that it was a necessary evil. His plan was to suffocate her with his love until she f
And he did change his strategy.Jason decided to give Suzy the space she had been clamouring for. He didn't want her to feel pressured into accepting him. Although she hadn't told him what went wrong or why she detested the werewolf community, he suspected the story wouldn't be a sweet one.So he was going to give her a chance. He had already informed his family that he had found his mate, but he didn't give any extra details. He had already informed his family that he had found his mate, but he didn't give any extra details.But he had confided in his sister about everything that was going on, and she had advised him to give it time. In the meantime, he was still staying with Liam, but he had been indoors all the while.He didn't have classes to attend like Liam or was busy like Suzy, so he was all alone whenever Liam went to work. And he had been using that opportunity to get in shape and keep fit.He had registered at a nearby gym and soon became a regular there as a means of tryin
Jason went on his way, happy that he had been able to make a friend, especially one that could come through for him. Then he facepalmed; he had forgotten to ask for his name, and now he will be stuck referring to him as a stranger.Well, that isn't a problem; he could always find out at any time.He trekked back home with a lighter mind, happy that he had had that conversation with the beta of the local pack. At least now he knew that his mate didn't hate him. She probably just hated the fact that he was a werewolf.And he would try his best to remedy that. He was just going to let her be. But he had to go back home next week; he had to think about his next line of action. From the looks of things, he may decide to base himself in the United States because of his mate, as he knew that there was no way he could persuade her to come with him.He took a shower to wash off the sweat and grime from his body before he went back to his bed, planning his next line of action. But before that,
Isabella's POVFor the first time in my life, I finally began to feel that things were finally looking up for me. Lucas and I had come to what I would like to call a consensus, and it had been walking for us.It had gradually become a regular thing now; I would try to make time to visit Lucas. Every now and then, I would smack my head, because why didn't I think of this a long time ago? The first week I started frequenting his place, I was hiding from his pack, but now there was no need for that.No matter how busy I may be, I always make sure to go over for the weekend. It was the only way I could stay sane after the stressful week, and every day I would always look forward to the weekend. And that was because Lucas managed to make sure that every week there was something waiting for her at the door.It was either a box of flowers, chocolate, a piece of jewellery of any sort, a poem, or other times I was greeted by the naked view of my mate, and we ended up having amazing sex. I quic
I woke up smiling as the morning sun pierced through the window blind into the room, almost blinding me. What could a girl wish for more than waking up to blinding light?I stretched my body as a loud, unladylike yawn came out of me. Yesterday was truly amazing. Lucas and I engaged in what was called "phone sex." It was the first for me, and at first it was a bit embarrassing because I was a grown lady and it felt like I was a prepubescent girl on a secret call with her boyfriend.But Lucas had eased my mind into it, and soon I began to find it enjoyable. It was weirdly erotic, making me feel young again, and it was like a taboo. And today even more so; I hadn't been that excited in a long while, and it was because my brother was finally coming back home.Granted, the reason for his coming back wasn't a pleasant one, but I was still happy that he was coming back. I didn't think I would miss him that much, but unfortunately, I did.I had already ordered someone to clean up his room an
Lucas was able to get me to see reasons why we should merge the pack, and I agree. I had already relayed the information to the pack. At first, they were sceptical about it, not knowing how to behave towards these new intruders. But as words passed around and the date kept drawing near, the excitement began to increase. Everyone had an individual reason for being happy. The nurses and warriors who had been previously sent to the other pack during the exchange were very excited about the news. They could finally see their families without having to get permission to go across the border. While the pack was excited about the possibilities and exposure I would bring. Imagine two powerful packs merging to become one; we would easily become the most powerful and unstoppable pack on the continent, rivaling even the best pack on the continent. I was happy for all those things, but nothing could be compared to the fact that I would get to spend every waking moment with my mate. I was ove
I blinked my eyes, trying to get used to the bright light that was streaming from the window blind. I successfully opened my eyes after several tries and was greeted by the dull painting of my room.I groaned on the bed, feeling my head alight with pain. Something was different, but I couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. But everything was just different.Maybe it was the way Lucas' scent was saturated in the room; it literally filled everywhere, like he had been staying here all day.I rolled across the bed till I got to the edge, and I placed my legs gingerly on the floor. I tested their strength to see if they could support me, and they could.I stood up slowly and made my way to the bathroom to relieve myself. I washed my hands after I had done my business. From there, I proceeded to wash my face, and I padded out of the room after I was through, back to my room.Someone, whom I assumed was Lucas, had changed me into shorts and a shirt. Just then, my stomach rumbled, and I looke
I didn't know where the man had come from, but he had run up to me and collided with me. The impact was forceful enough to make me stumble all across the floor, and I was lucky I did.Because, just then, the man exploded into bits and pieces beside me, spraying us with his innards.Then everything was pure chaos.Someone screamed behind me, and I suspected it was one of the warriors. I could hear someone running beside me. There was a high-pitched noise ringing in my ears, and it continued, the bell refusing to stop.I could feel my body leaving me, and it was like I was floating in midair from all the chaos. The ringing began to gradually subside, and in that state, I realised that there was a girl who was also at risk of exploding."She can't be away from him; she would blow up. She can't be away from him; she would blow up." I kept murmuring the phrase like a broken toy. It was a way to keep me in touch with reality."Alpha, are you okay?" A cute face peered down at me, worry lines
Under the guidance of Lucas, we were able to safely scale the landmine. And it wasn't until everyone had a good metre passed it and were safe that my breathing finally went back to normal.The fact that someone close to me also had a near-death experience was enough to sober anyone, and we all moved quietly as we walked deeper into the forest.The air was getting stale as we ventured in, and at a point, the hair on my body stood stiff, as if it could tell the danger lurking behind.The sunlight filtered through the towering trees, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor. Everyone was quietly walking forward, and it added to the eerie feeling.I tightened the grip on the hilt of my dagger and took a deep breath, summoning courage. While praying for the goddess to help me.The air grew colder as we ventured further into the heart of the forest, and the sound of nature was slowly fading away, replaced by an unnerving silence.I winced as my shoe got caught on a metal piece, and Lucas t
We have been running for so long that I have lost count of the hours. The adrenaline that had been fueling me was gradually depleting, and I was already getting tired.But I still continued urging on; it also helped that Lucas was beside me, motivating me in his own way. He was running behind me, and anytime my speed was declining, I would feel his cold nose on my rump pushing me forward.That really helped because we were able to cross the border of a pack, and we were currently in another one. I had already gotten permission from the alphas of the pack we would be passing through; it was considered folly not to do so. I also beseeched them for their help, and they were happy to lend their support in their own way.I looked ahead of me and saw that the sun was glistening on a surface, which was no doubt a body of water. I gathered momentum, my legs suddenly becoming alive and kicking forward as I saw the lake.The sun had been scorching down on us in all its ferocity, barely sparing
I could see the silhouette of a man fast approaching where we were standing, and I was instantly on high alert. My hands reached back automatically to the back of my jeans, and I removed an object, craftily hiding it behind me. I had hidden weapons all over my body, and I was currently holding a steel blade that had been so well sharpened that it could cut through anything.I had very good throwing skills, coupled with good hand-eye coordination, so should the person pose a threat to me, I would have the blade firmly lodged in his neck before he could move further, so perfectly that he would be unable to breathe freely.The silhoutte was getting closer, and with it was the scent. That sweet, enticing scent that could only belong to one person wafted to where I was, and I was sniffing it like a dog, wanting more from where it came.The man behind the alluring scent came out of the shadow, his sharp features clearly visible in the dark, and I was holding my breath.Just his presence alo
Maya was urging me to ask my mom about the voice recording because she felt she would have opinions about it. According to her, Kiayra told her that she would know about it. Kiayra was my mother's wolf and had been with her since she shifted.So if there was anyone who would know these things, it was definitely Kiayra. So I listened to her, and I was sending my mother the voice recording. The parents were currently out of town because they went to pay a visit to my aunt.And yeah, my dad is aware of everything that has been going on; he only called to ask me if I was okay and if I ever needed help from him. My dad is a firm believer in letting people do what they want, as long as they are not doing the wrong thing.He said I was the alpha now, and the pack was mine. It was my decision to run it however I wanted to run it, as long as I didn't ruin it. Many people may not agree with that sort of reasoning, but it has helped me grow into a strong, independent woman.But I do believe I am
I groaned as the loud ringing disrupted my sleep. Will there ever be a day where I get 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep? In another world, it may have been possible, but in this present world, I very much doubt that.I took a deep breath to calm myself before I lost it. "Patience, Jasmine, patience. It may just be important." Maya prodded me on, and I sighed as I picked up the device."Hello." I spoke into the receiver. Beside me, Lucas stirred as he heard my voice, and his eyelashes fluttered as he tried to open them, making me swoon because Lucas was always handsome on a regular day, but he was breathtaking when he was sleepy and a little cute."Alpha, help us." A voice whispered panic on the phone, and immediately I was up, every atom of sleep gone from my eyes. Lucas also stirred beside me and sat upright.I heard that voice; it was the woman's bratty daughter that was missing. "Suzy? Is that you?" Lucas' ears perked up as he heard the name. I had informed him of the missing person,
The day was still young, and although the sun was still shining its bright light on us, I was drained and stressed out. I have been wrung out to the point that the only thing that could remedy it was quality rest. And that was what I was going to get now.I looked down at our jointed hands as we walked down the path to the pack house. I could feel curious eyes on us, but I could care less. I was happy that we didn't have to keep hiding the fact that we were mates.We had gotten up to the huge double mahogany door that stood tall and unyielding, and I was going to take another step forward when a thought flashed through my mind and I remembered that he wasn't living in this pack and may likely have somewhere to be. "Don't you have somewhere to be?" I asked, gently stroking the hairs at the back of his palm."Uh?" He raised his eyebrows, looking at me all confused."Your pack." I provided. "You can't leave the pack just like that. I am fine now, so you are free to go." It took great pai
