“You’re okay?” John asked. I nodded and sipped the hot tea nearly sighing as it warmed my body, John sat at a respectful distance beside me and I noticed him watching me keenly at a far corner. Jake stared at a fire sipping from a glass of liquor looking lost in his own world.
“What happened” John asked and I sighed, his dark eyes roamed my face and I noticed how handsome he was.
“My father, chased me away” I said and his eye darkened even further, he looked annoyed.
“That’s wickedness” he said and I nodded, the tears I have been holding and promising myself not to shed started pooling in the corner of her eyes.
“I am so sorry” John said and I nodded. The tears dropped and he tentatively wiped them away and I stared at him in surprise.
“Thank you” I said and he smiled. Jake stood and dropped the book he was holding
“I am outta here before you two kiss and talk in love” he said and I reddened, John looked embarrassed and he shot his brother a glare but Jake flipped him off and grabbed his car keys and walked away.
“Is he always like this?” I asked and John shook his head.
“No, his moods changes quickly but he is very loyal” John said and I nodded and sipped the last of my tea that was getting cold. John stood and helped me up, they walked to a room and John dropped her backpack on a mahogany desk.
“Thank you John” I said and kissed his cheek, he smiled at me and walked off. I plopped on the bed and smiled, this was definitely a welcome start of my life’s journey. I closed my eyes and drifted up to sleep. When I opened my eyes Jake was sitting on a chair and was staring at the window I jumped to my feet and grabbed something as a weapon which was a spoon, he chuckled without turning.
“You want to use a spoon to fight me, hope you know how futile it is” Jake said and I shook my head.
“What do you want” I snapped, tired of his attitude. He turned and his eyes darkened. He crossed his legs and glared at me.
“The fact that I saved your ass, doesn’t mean I trust you one bit” he said and I scowled and glared at him.
“If there is anyone not to trust, it’s you. You are evil and brutal and you don’t think twice before you do something rash” I said and he smiled coldly, he stood and grabbed one bottle of wine from a cabinet and poured it into a glass, he titled the glass to his mouth and drank.
“You are right” he said and turned to stare at the landscape from the window. “I am a cold selfish bastard and be warned am not gonna pet you like John.”
“So what do you want?” I snapped again and he scowled.
“What do I want? Nothing. You are fool to think I want anything. I am just following the alpha orders to protect and train you” I noticed he said the word alpha with resentment and contempt something was definitely going on
“I don’t want you in my room, you can guard it from outside” I said and his eyes darkened and I knew I had made an enemy, he nodded and pivoted on heels and was gone.
*******
I grunted as I lifted the weight bar and I dropped it back almost immediately, ever since I had told John the reason why I was sent off my pack, we had been working to increase my strength, he had tried everything to no avail to bring out my wolf. Jake sauntered in his eyes roamed around until they sought me and John and he headed over, he grabbed my bottle of water and drank from it.
“Jake” John greeted but Jake ignored him and turned to me.
“Trying to bring out your wolf huh?” He asked and John nodded.
“I have tried everything in book to kick start wolf abilities but to no avail” John chipped in and Jake shrugged, he pushed past me and grabbed the heavy weight bar and lifted it with ease, he shook his head and added four more weight bars and lifted it, still with ease. He dropped it and stared at us.
“Another way, is joining her with her soulmate, that will four hundred percent bring out her wolf” he said and smiled, he turned and started to walk away.
“Jake” John called and the older brother stopped, “Thank you” he said, Jake turned his head and for a moment I could have said his stone cold eyes softened but he turned away and waved as he disappeared into the forest.
“What he is gonna do in the forest” she said and John grimaced.
“He is going to hunt” he said and John frowned, “And the way he hunts is very monstrous, without mercy and sometimes for the fun of it” he said and I shook my head, it was best I stayed away from Jake, he was dangerous, unpredictable and arrogant.
“Can’t you stop him” I said and John shook his head.
“I can’t. I am not as strong as Jake, he is too strong. “ he said and I sighed.
“Why is he this evil” I asked and Johna shook his head.
“He has been through a lot, plus he hates me.” John explained he stared at me then at my lips.
“You are so beautiful” he said and I smiled, he leaned forward and kissed me on the lips, he pulled away just as quickly and chuckled nervously.
“I am so sorry” he said, but I threw caution to the winds and pulled him in for another kiss. We pulled away when we were out of breath
“Wow” he said and he pulled me into his arms, “Reyna you are one of a kind” he said and I smiled, my father chasing me off was starting to look like a blessing in disguise.
Then Jake walked in an scowled, his eyes look wide.
“Kissing already” he mocked and walked off, I noticed his hands looked bloody and he didn’t even bother hiding it.
Monster.
“Where is Jake?” I asked and John shook his head,“He doesn’t like parties,” he said loudly over the loud music, around us werewolves danced to loud hip-hop music, John twirled me around and I danced coming close enough to stare into his eyes and kissed him, ever since the day we kissed, we had become more exclusive and I learned werewolves males were very jealous with their woman and John certainly was, his hand held my waist possessively as if afraid I would wander off. “I won’t wander off,” I said and John grinned and kissed my cheek. “Never trust when a lady says that,” he said and I gasped playfully. “John! Ouch! So you don’t trust me” I said and he grinned. “One bit,” he said and I punched him playfully in the shoulder. “Kidding,” he said and we walked to a bar and he poured wine for me. “Cheers,” I said and he smiled at me. “To what?” He asked and I shrugged. I flunked my glass with him and we drank while staring at each other. He finished his quickly and grinned.
“Come on you dumb ass shit” Jake yelled, “One more,” he said and with every one of my strength, I pushed myself up and then collapsed onto the grass.Jake made no move to help me up, instead he circled me and scowled.“You are fucking weak,” he said and I scowled at him, he grabbed my arms and roughly force me to sit. I smacked away his hand and he growled angrily. “Don’t ever touch me” I snapped and he nodded. “Good, I want you to be angry.Now channel that rage at me, think of everything you hate about me.Our power is mostly at its peak when we are in a rage now punch me” he said and I hesitated, even though I probably detested him, for some reason I didn’t want to punch him. “Come on, don’t be such a wimp you idiot,” he said and I scowled and charged for him.I punched him right in the face, and he stood there and took it without blinking, bleeding from the mouth. He threw back his head and laughed then he grinned at me. “That isn’t
I opened my eyes slowly and sat up, I suddenly remembered yesterday peeled back my shirt, and stared at my shoulder. It was perfectly fine and with no trace that I had been stabbed there. “You are good as new” came Jake’s voice and I turned to see him in the doorway, looking handsome, his long dark hair fell to his forehead enhancing those roguish good looks of his. I scowled at him and he smiled.“You stabbed me,” I said and he grinned as if he enjoyed the moment. “You asked dear,” he said with mock sweetness and I rolled my eyes. “And you still stabbed me,” I said and he grinned and grabbed my hairbrush and swung it like a sword. “I couldn’t miss that opportunity,” he said and plopped on the bed beside me.“You’re a beast,” I said and he smiled. He extended a claw and grabbed my teddy and stabbed it in the heart. “Hey” I complained and he grinned and tossed me the teddy. I hid the teddy behind the bed and he chuckled. “What happened yesterday,” I asked and he stood and star
“What do we do?” I asked and Jake eyes darkened like he didn’t like the situation he was in, I didn’t either. He shook his head like he couldn’t believe I was asking that question. “What do you want us to do? have sex?” He asked and my cheeks reddened and I glared at him. “Do you have to say that?” I asked and he shrugged and grabbed a bottle of tequila and drank I watched as his throat bobbed as the drink went down his throat. “Yes” he said. He regarded me and smiled like he had an evil plan. “We should tell John” he said and my eyes widened. I still liked John and didn’t want to hurt his feelings. “What? No” I don’t exclaimed and he grinned like that was the reaction he was waiting for. He offered me a glass and I shook my head he frowned. “Take the damned drink from me or I’ll tell dear brother that you are my one true soulmate the one I get to bang” he said with a mock smile and I scowled. “I a
I reached the stairs just as Jake was calling out to John. My heart raced with fear, wondering what Jake would say to him. I didn't want John to know about the kisses, not yet. I wasn't ready to deal with the consequences.I slowed down my pace, trying not to draw attention to myself. Jake was already at the bottom of the stairs, a smug smile on his face. John was standing in the living room, a look of confusion on his face."What's up, Jake?" John asked, and Jake's smile grew wider."Oh, just having a chat with our lovely guest," Jake said, his eyes glinting with mischief.John's eyes narrowed, and he looked up at me. "Everything okay?" he asked, and I nodded, trying to play it cool."Yeah, everything's fine," I said, trying to sound nonchalant.Jake chuckled, and John's eyes snapped back to him. "What's going on, Jake?" John asked, his voice firm.Jake shrugged, his smile never wavering. "Just having a little fun, brother. Don't worry about it."John's eyes narrowed, and I could tel
I trudged along the hills, my every breath getting labored after the next.I pulled out my cell phone and tried powering it on but the screen stayed blank, I sighed.No battery life left, my backpack felt heavy on my back, and for a moment I considered dropping it but I breathed in deep and tried gathering strength. ‘Come on Reyna, you can do this ‘ I said to myself and took a step forward and grinned when I saw civilization.I put more spring to my steps and hurried down the hills shouldering my backpack carefully not to let it slip off my tired shoulder.The sky rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky. ‘Please don’t rain’ I begged the universe, but it seemed the universe was in no mood for prayers because as soon as I said that in my head, the rain poured heavily without warning, and in seconds I was as drenched as a sewage pipe rat.I managed to reach the restaurant and I rushed in soaking wet, the restaurant was devoid of customers and I thanked the universe again.A w
