Jake didn’t say anything of course, he had been bluffing and I had forgotten that John wasn’t around. We had spent the last few days training intensely, for some reason Jake had been so focused on training that it had me wondering.

No snide remarks or cocky talks, just fixed and hell bent on making me improve.

He didn’t say anything funny or rude, just professional and while I was practicing it had me wondering if I had done anything wrong or he was regretting something.

Jake was a reserved person, that I knew but over the last few days he had been quite free with me. It wasn’t that he was avoiding me but being unusually calm with me even when I was making mistakes was—new.

“Everything alright?” I asked when he decided I could take a break. Jake turned to me, his eyes bore into my face.

“Problem?” He asked, not dismissively but as if he wanted to know something.

“No, it’s just that you are unusual…….”

“Aloof?” He finished for me and I sighed again pushing away my hair from my

    When I wake Jake is asleep on the couch, or so I thought because as I try to see how he looks when sleeping, he growls and opens his eyes.“What are you looking at?” He asked with a scowl and I grinned at him.“You look like a little baby when you are asleep” I said and he shrugged and stretched before standing up and walking to the window, something I now noticed was his habit.“That’s not true” he said finally and I flashed a smile that said I wasn’t convinced. I slung my legs and got into a sitting position, my head pounded and I remembered how he had made me do laps that were meant to kill.I tried to find anything to say or joke about just to keep the vibe. One thing I learnt about Jake was he kept quiet easily and wouldn’t talk much except spoken to.“Jake” I finally called and he tensed. He didn’t turn to face me.“Thank you for watching over me,” I added. He turned at that. His green eyes bore into face as if trying to decipher what was going through my head. He turned away ag

  • In Love With The Alpha Brothers    I didn't recall giving you permission

    I suddenly realised that I was naked and that Jake was just watching me in wolf form. It was weird that a huge black werewolf was staring at me wearing nothing.Then he had the nerve to peel back his lips and let out a feral grin revealing his huge canine.“Small boobs” he said in my head and I covered my breats blushing.“Stop looking” i chided and he trotted up to me and sniffed. I was about to open my mouth to retort when a maid came running in. Her eyes darted to a nude me then to wolf form Jake them back to me. She swallowed.“Alpha John, your brother had been kidnapped” she said panicking and Jake growled. The sound echoed, giving me chills.As I blinked, he was back in human form, naked. I could see the maid trying so hard not to look.“Kidnapped? Who would dare?” He said quietly and the maid shrugged.“We don’t know. We only got a note this morning” she said and Jake closed his eyes.“Lemme see tha note” he said and the maid passes him the note. There was no emotion on his fac

According to the maids, the same rogues who were after me where the same who took John.For the first time in two days Jake looked genuinely pissed, like he wasn’t happy with the fact that his brother was taken to a jungle and held hostage.For some reason I suddenly wanted to follow Jake, I felt that it was two dangerous. I was no help, but at least another living breathing werewolf could do so much more so I marched over to his study again and knocked.“I can smell you Reyna” he growled, sounding annoyed from the other side and I sighed. I pushed open the door without waiting for his invite and walked in. There was a cigar in his mouth and he took a long drag.“I heard” I started and Jake scowled at me.“Heard what” he retorted and I rolled my eyes. I folded my arms watching as he drummed his fingers on table“Heard where John was taken to. S

  • In Love With The Alpha Brothers    being Wrong

    Reyna's POVThe hustle and bustle of different people at the airport, alongside Jake's demeanor were two things I hadn't accounted for when I wanted to follow him. But my heart still ached with the thought of John and those....rogue wolves, that whatever hesitation I had vanished into thin air.We had gotten our tickets and were headed towards the boarding area, when I accidentally slipped backwards on my slippers, almost landing on my butt. A small yelp left my lips as I slid against the tiles. I shut my eyes tightly, yelping and bracing for impact. But impact didn't happen. Instead, I was suspended mid air, by surprisingly strong arms. The faint scent of pine and cinnamon permeated my senses, and I opened my eyes.Jake's green orbs were staring back at me, and I realized he stopped me from falling. There was a small flicker of concern in those steeled eyes, but it disappeared as soon as it showed up. "Try being more careful on your feet. I won't save your ass again." He growled, le

  • In Love With The Alpha Brothers    Mine

    Jake's POVI had never been the good son. It was either I did something stupid, out of anger, or I was called a coward for not going for it. And out of the three, I preferred being angry to ease the pain that ate away at my insides. But this woman. This...wolf had a way of upsetting the perfect life I crafted for myself.I shouldn't have saved her that day at that bar. But I couldn't help myself either. I killed for fun, killed for the thrill. I could snap her in half with a flick of my fingers. She was so fragile, so innocent. But she was mine from the second I laid my eyes on her. From the moment that I realized that she was going to be a problem to my sanity. If those rogues wanted to kill her, then she was also mine to kill. And I hated it as much I loved it. I hated that I wanted to be calmer around her.I hated that I liked myself a bit more when she was around.I hated that her smile made me

  • In Love With The Alpha Brothers    Journeying Into the Unknown

    Reyna's POVI bit my lower lip, trying to restrain myself. Jake’s grip tightened on my chin, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. His voice, sharp and commanding, cut through the tension.“Princess, what did I say about interrupting me?”“You...you said not to do it again,” I muttered breathily. My voice wavered despite my efforts to sound defiant. Damn him and his unnerving dominance. He had this way of making me feel small, not in a bad way, but in a way that made my wolf whimper in submission.A slow smirk spread across his lips, and my chest tightened. The sheer confidence he exuded sent a rush of heat to my face.Before I could protest or think of a witty comeback, he leaned forward. His hand slid from my chin to the small of my back. My breath hitched, and the next thing I knew, I was in his arms.“What the—? Jake!” I yelped, instinctively wrapping my arms around his neck for balance. My heart pounded as his scent hit me, earthy and raw, like pine trees after a rainstorm. My wol

  • In Love With The Alpha Brothers    Nervous

    Reyna's POV The car rolled to a stop, and I leaned forward, peering out the windshield. My jaw dropped.The house—or rather, the mansion—was something straight out of a movie. It stood tall and elegant, nestled in the middle of lush greenery. Ivory walls gleamed in the sunlight, and wide glass windows reflected the golden rays. A sprawling balcony wrapped around the second floor, dotted with potted plants and sleek outdoor furniture. The driveway was lined with perfectly trimmed hedges, and a fountain sat at the center, water cascading in delicate arcs.“Holy… this is where we’re staying?” I breathed, my gaze sweeping over the manicured gardens and stone pathway leading to the grand entrance.Jake smirked from the driver’s seat. “Surprised, Princess? Thought I’d throw you in a shack?”“Honestly, yeah,” I said, still staring. The house practically oozed luxury, and I half-expected someone to walk out and ask if we

    Reyna's POV His lips brushed against mine, soft at first, testing, as if he wasn’t sure I’d let him. But when I didn’t pull away, more like when I couldn’t pull away, his initial hesitation vanished. And God was I grateful for it. The kiss deepened, stealing the breath from my lungs and replacing it with the fire that radiated off him.I gripped the edge of the desk behind me, as my legs trembled, threatening to give out. Jake’s hand slid from my cheek to the back of my neck. He pulled me closer, his other hand pressing on the desk beside me. The warmth of his touch, the way his lips moved against mine, was overwhelming and intoxicating, like I was diving headfirst into something I’d never recover from. A low man escaped my throat at the same time I heard a groan rising from within his chest.I should have stopped him. The rational part of me screamed that this was a mistake, that Jake was dangerous in more ways than one. We were true mates, yes, but I was still with John, and I d

    Reyna's POV I found John in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with his arms crossed. The sharp clink of a glass being set down broke the silence as I stepped in.“You have something to say?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.He didn’t look at me, his gaze fixed on the floor. “Do you?”I folded my arms, leaning against the doorway. “If you’re upset about something, just say it.”John finally looked up, his eyes piercing. “You think I didn’t see you out there with him?”I froze, my stomach twisting. “It wasn’t what it looked like.”He let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “You’re really going with that?”“It wasn’t!” My voice rose, frustration bubbling to the surface. “We were just talking.”“Talking,” he repeated, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Sure. Because standing that close, with him looking at you like that, is just friendly conversation.”I took a step closer, anger flaring. “You don’t get to make assumptions, John. You don’t know what’s going on.”“Then tell

    Jake's POVI leaned against the doorframe, watching Reyna shuffle past me. Her shoulders were tense, and she moved like she was trying to outrun the weight on her shoulders. I didn’t stop her. Instead, I trailed behind, keeping my steps light.Dinner was the last thing on her mind—hell, it was the last thing on mine—but if sitting across the table gave me even a sliver of a chance to break through that wall she was building, I’d take it.She was so damn stubborn.By the time we reached the kitchen, the smell of roasted chicken and herbs filled the air, but I barely noticed. Reyna slipped into her seat, avoiding my eyes, while John was already there, staring daggers in my direction.“Late, as usual,” John muttered, his fork clinking against his plate.“Miss me that much?” I shot back, dropping into a chair opposite him.Reyna flinched, her hand tightening around her glass of water. She hated this—hated being in the middle of whatever grudge John and I were nursing—but she wasn’t saying

My chest tightened, suffocating under the weight of his words.John’s fingers slid up my sides, tracing the curve of my ribs.

    Reyna's POV . . Jake didn’t let it finish. In one swift motion, he reached into his bag and pulled out the remaining pouch of wolfsbane. He hurled it to the ground, and the powder exploded into a thick, choking cloud. The rogues coughed and staggered, their movements sluggish as the potent toxin took effect. I stepped forward, coughing as the acrid smell stung my nose. “Jake! That’s not what we planned!” Finally, he turned to me. His icy blue eyes pierced through the haze, filled with a rage I’d never seen before. “Stay back, Reina.” Even his voice sounded different. His tone left no room for argument. I clamped my mouth shut, my protests dying on my lips. Jake moved toward the rogues with a deadly precision. One of them tried to snarl, but it was too weak to fight back. Jake’s claws gleamed in the dim light as he slashed its throat in one brutal motion. I flinched, my stomach twisting, but I couldn’t look away. Another rogue, still struggling to stand, barely had

    Reyna's POV I shot him a glare, but he just grinned wider. “Fine,” I said through gritted teeth. “Let’s focus on trapping them. What do we have to work with?”Jake reached into his bag and pulled out a bundle of wire and a small pouch of what looked like powder. “Trip wires and wolfsbane dust. Enough to slow them down, maybe even knock out a few if we’re lucky.”“Wolfsbane?” I frowned. “Isn’t that a bit... excessive?”“Not if it keeps us alive.” He tilted his head, studying me. “You’re not backing out, are you?”“Of course not,” I snapped. “I just don’t want this to turn into a bloodbath.”Jake shrugged again, his easy confidence infuriating. “Fine. No bloodbath. But if things go south...” He let the sentence hang, his meaning clear.I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Alright. Let’s get to work.”We spent the next hour setting up the traps. Jake moved with a practiced efficiency, his hands steady as he tied wires and scattered wolfsbane dust in strategic spots.
