J's POVI sat there in the bed staring at the rest of them in the room. While some were whispering amongst themselves, Anna was staring at me with a wide smile on her face, her chin rested on both her palms, “What?” I asked her, a bit pissed. Why was she staring at me like I was once dead and now back to life? “Nothing, I'm just happy you are awake, Lance would be so happy about it” “And where the fuck is Lance?” I directed my question to the men who kept murmuring as they spoke. For a few minutes there, I saw how they suddenly looked at me with fear. “He… he is on his way. I have called him and told him you are awake. Like we said earlier, he went for some business”“That's like three hours ago. Can he come here already?” The minute those words left my lips, Lance stepped into the room. Everyone rushed to meet him including Anna who hugged him.Even though he hugged Anna and the men were speaking to him, his gaze and attention were on me. I tried to keep my gaze at him as well bu
J's POVI gulped down nothing in particular, my eyes twitched watching Lance staring at me not taking his gaze away. What do I tell him to make him leave me alone? He wasn't going to let it slide, he must be upset that he couldn't take care of me like he promised to. “Lance…” My hand moved to his jaw and I caressed his well-shaved jaw. I noticed how the frown on his face slowly disappeared.“I'm sorry I made you worried. I didn't mean to… how have you been? Hope you've slept since then?” Moving my face towards him, I gave him a peck on the cheek before adding,“I promise it won't happen again” “It won't, J” he replied, “It won't now tell me where you had gone so early that morning,” I bit my tongue, and my plan didn't work like I expected. Rolling my eyes I went to sit on the bed, folding my arms under my breast,“If you don't tell me where you go, I'll kill him” his words caused me to turn my head from before me to look at him.I raised a brow at him,“Who's that?” I asked in fea
Lance's POVIn the car, I kept staring at J from time to time through the rearview mirror. She thinks I'm mad at her but I wasn't. In fact, I was happy she told me. Jonathan might not be dead now, but I had killed him completely in my head. That bastard wants to blow my cover before I do. Finally, she was discharged and was allowed to go home after Dr Jude ran some tests and confirmed that she was good to go. As for me, I was more relieved that she could walk again with her legs. I knew only Dr Jude could help us with that. For the umpteenth time today, I caught her staring at me again but she threw her gaze away immediately as if caught. I acted like I saw nothing. All these while, Anna was staring at her, she also noticed how her sister was stealing glances. The car was quiet, I refused to play any music or raise a conversation. I wanted guilt to eat her all up so she wouldn't do what she did ever again.For a moment there I began to regret why the moon goddess would give me a hu
J's POVI sat there like an obedient child as Dr. Jude checked up on me for the upteeth time today. Lance stood beside him with a serious expression on his face. His eyes fixed on what Dr. Jude was doing,“She's completely well, Alpha” the doctor said and I looked behind Lance to see if there was someone named Alpha around. Lance nodded before helping me sit up,“Although she still needs to monitor how she moves, she is not expected to walk too much. Her legs still need to rest. It's amazing how only one bone was able to revive the rest of the bones,” Dr Jude said with a smile that got me thinking. My eyes moved from Lance who was helping me up to Dr. Jude who was smiling wide, “What happened to my legs?” I asked and I literally saw the man gulp. I turned my head to the side to see Lance quickly moved his gaze to me, he offered me a smile but I knew better. His gaze must have scared the poor doctor. I turned back to the doctor to get my answer only to meet an empty spot. The man
“I thought I had made it clear to you before, baby?” He stroked my blonde, making me tilt my head to rest on his hand. “How's that possible when mafia don't have hearts?” I asked in a whispered back and he said to me,“You shouldn't trust everything you see on TV, some of us have a heart,” he whispered. My eyes continued to stare at his curiosity burning in my heart. His scent intensified and I gulped. We were both staring at each other until his lips hovered in front of mine. My lips unintentionally pried out of my mouth and wet my lips, my toes curled, eyes closed then I heard him say,“I'm going to kiss you, J.” His hot breath fanned my face causing my fingers to clenched around his body, holding onto his shirt tightly.“Are you seeking permission?” I opened my eyes to ask because that didn’t sound like a question but it was supposed to be. “No, it's for you to be prepared for me,” he whispered against my lips and a smile appeared on my lips. “I was ready a few minutes ago, I
Lance's POV“I didn't know you had started bringing your flings to the pack house” Elder Julius mentioned when he noticed that J was out of sight. “There are a lot of things you don't know that I do,” I replied. Somewhere in the back of my head, I was pissed at him for coming to distract us from our moment. None of the guards even came to inform me of his coming. And calling J a fling was a great No. I wouldn't talk about it now because I am more than eager to get him out of my sight. “This is something that concerns us as pack members. If you have seen a Luna, we deserve to know,” I didn't bother looking at his face because I knew better. Elder Julius is one of the old folks that I would have deleted from the pack if I had the chance.“I thought you just referred to her as a fling. Why would I gather my great pack elders only to tell them that I have a fling?” I asked him with a concerned look. He cleared his throat before nodding, “That's alright. I thought she was more than t
J's POVI sat on the bed, strolled around the room, and picked up some of the things around the room to glance at them. Everything was beautiful but one thing I hated was sitting idle. I began searching for what to do here. Maybe I should find a clubStaring at the window, my eyes caught Lance and the old man. The man was giving me the vibes that made me sure that he hated it. I'm still going to ask Lance who he is. A girl wearing a blue gown ran to them, she hugged the old man first before hugging Lance. Who was she? I watched how they discussed, I couldn't hear what they were saying, neither could I read their lips. I watched till I saw Lance turn to look at the window, I docked. Did he know that I have been watching?Lance finally left the meeting and walked away. My heart began to beat faster than usual. I made my way to the bed and sat in it. In less than three minutes, the door opened, “Hello, ma'am,” “Hi” I smiled at the lady who had stepped into the room“Dinner is ready,”
J’s POVTwo weeks in the Dark Red pack according to Anna, I still haven't understood anything that's going on here. I knew I was in New Jersey but Dark Red pack… was it like some cult? Along with the Beckers, I realized that there were so many people who weren't Beckers, they were soldiers guarding the place. I remember waking up one morning to explore the building only to find a place on the second floor. When I got there at first, I was dumbfounded at how long the passage was, in it were so many soldiers guiding the place. Sometimes, I am with Lance and they refer to him as Alpha. This has happened time and time again in my presence. People come around to seek his help and as he had said when I first met him, he is a busy man. How was he able to always be with me back in Pennsylvania? Anna and Daphne have resumed school so many times, I'm home alone thinking of what to do and what not. These past few days, I only see Lance during dinner which I am not so pleased with. Is he avoidi
