JAGGED CHAPTER 12
“Thanks to the work force you sent, work has been going smoothly, but someone has been sabotaging the productions” Edward began almost immediately we got into my office.I looked towards the streets and watched as Bob got into his car and drove off “well I guess we know who it is already, I’m so sorry about this, I promise I’ll take care of it” he nodded and was about leaving, “is that all you came to tell me?” I asked, bending my head to the side as I studied him, “it may be my company’s money in this, but it is also the labor of your men” he just said and walked out, his shoulders tight, well that was awkward, he could’ve just told me that over the phone. I sighed and perched on the side of my table, the last few weeks have been undeniably annoying, I don’t even know how to feel about that. But one thing was clear, my mother had two options, its either she works out her twisted marriage to my father or she fixes her taste in men, I think its about time I laid it all out for her.I
JAGGED CHAPTER 13
Arriving at my apartment, I was already exhausted, Tanya had a way of draining me without actually trying.The dress that Sansa had picked out was a quite simple and beautiful, it had a note attached, “this was designed by one of your designers at the fashion house” Bridget MatthewsIt was a lilac dress with spaghetti straps, one that clung to my body except for the thigh high slit running up the left leg, and below the dress……I laughed “what do you know? There’s a cloak in here” fur lined and …….a deep purple. I made a quick work of putting it on, curling my hair, I didn’t bother with make-up. At least I’ll look colorful.Stepping out of the limo, I was nearly blinded by camera flashes, at least they had the sense not to shove a mic in my face, because I may have accepted to come for this opening, but it didn’t mean I knew shit about it. That’s how t
JAGGED CHAPTER 14
I wonder, if Edward is gonna answer me if I ask him what Bob meant, because that statement has been bugging me. I would just write it off as nothing but its just not working that way at all.My phone was ringing again, one day im gonna have to throw that thing in the ocean and live a life away from technology. “oh Devonne, you didn’t forget my birthday was next week now did you?”“no, no no, of course not my beloved Tanya, in fact I just got off the phone with the guy for the fabrics” I said through my teeth, “oh did you now? And beloved?, that’s new” the last thing I heard before she hung up was her laughter, it sounded evil. I shoved more ice cream into my mouth, from my peripheral vision, I could see that Nathan just got out of the bathroom. “was that Tanya on the phone?” he asked and I glared at him “oh you mean your crazy ex girlfriend who’s hell bent on making my life miserable ,then yes, yes that was Tanya” “oh come on, she used to be a sweet thing, we’re still very good frie
JAGGED CHAPTER 15
I woke up, my head feeling a bit clearer than it had in months, with the way I drank last night, I was pretty certain I was gonna have a major hangover, surprisingly I didn’t. Finally opening my eyes, I started, this wasn’t my room. It looked……..bigger and …….older somehow and then it all came rushing back. I was kidnapped. Feeling my throat close up, I ran for the door, jiggling the handle once, it opened, much to my surprise. Kidnappers don’t leave their kidnappees or hostages I guess? Whatever, they don’t leave them in unlocked rooms. Stepping out into the hallway, I shook my head and arrived at what seemed to be a living room. And there I found Edward, sitting and watching TV. “Edward?” I managed to squeak, my voice sounding more than a bit unsure. Honey colored eyes met mine, “oh goodie, you’re awake” then turned back to the television I tried again, “mind telling me why you kidnapped me?” he chuckled “do you feel kidnapped?” “ what I feel is confused” I snapped, clearly beginnin
JAGGED CHAPTER 16
“SO let me get this straight, my father and I are wolves, and my mother is a witch…….who poisons my wolf and…..takes my memories?” I asked Martha, hours later at night, trying to absorb all she had told me and even more confused than I was before I got here. Even the hot chocolate steaming in the mug on the table did nothing to comfort me about being here, I didn’t think anything could, not even the kindness on Martha’s face. “I can give you back your memories and try to force your wolf into waking up if you want, but it will be painful, I know its hard to believe all this……” “you’re damn right it is”. “its obviously been a long day for you, just let me show you your room, I’m sure you can find Arian and beat him up after you’ve showered and slept, since you insisted on not eating anything”, I nodded and stood up with her.“your father might as well start a war over this, I just don’t understand why Arian couldn’t just approach him and ask him for an audience with you like a man” she
JAGGED CHAPTER 17
I was still fuming when Martha came in rolling a box, not just any box I noted. It was mine, my travelling box. Great, now everyone will think I’d just run off like I always do. I’d never regretted being an impulsive traveller as I was at that very moment. “how?......how’d you get a hold of these?” I blurted. She just gave me a kind smile, “Edward just had them brought in”. Edward huh, I thought ruefully, that debt will definitely be paid when I got out of here, if I ever got out of here. “well did he get my phone as well?” I asked sounding hopeful. She was quiet. “Martha?” “Arian instructed that you not be allowed any access to any gadgets until he orders otherwise”. I scowled, half tempted to march into his room and rip him a new one, but the memory of this morning’s incident kept me rooted where I was seated. My door opened again, revealing another female, no younger than 12, her brown hair so dark it could have been black, and she had these really big blue doe eyes. Eyes that we
JAGGED CHAPTER 18
ARIAN’S POVSHE looked like quite the sight though, without the usual privileges she usually has, her usually bone straight hair was like a birds’ nest, with a good look at what she was wearing I could already guess what it was that was upsetting her, but I kept my mouth shut and just stared at her. I liked the thought of her being miserable, I didn’t know why, but it was satisfying.“I should’ve known that he had packed clothes from my office closet, how am I supposed to walk around wearing blazers? Or dinner dresses?” she scowled, “oh but you should be grateful you got any clothes at all” I drawled, making a show of looking her pale blue blazer up and down. “can I at least have my phone? Or any of my credit cards?, I know you have them” she was looking exasperated now, I couldn’t help but laugh, the hoarse sound ripping from my throat, making it quite obvious that I hadn’t done that in a good while. “and risk you contacting your father? Or your pretty eyed boyfriend back home?” I sc
JAGGED CHAPTER 19
I panted as I slipped into an alley, leaning against a building. I dialed a number I knew by heart. Nathan.He answered on first ring. “Nate” “Dev?” My eyes watered at the sound of his voice, I closed them, “Nate, I don’t have much time” I swallowed “can you track this phone?” “Shit, I’m not at home, I don’t have any means to track it” he swore again “Dev, where are you?” “Italy” “shit shit, how? Who? Do you know where exactly you are? I can send a jet…….” he was still talking when the phone was snatched from my hand. Startled, I looked up into very angry Amber eyes. “Devonne” he said, or that’s what I thought he said, it sounded more like a growl. “I can track you anywhere in this world by scent alone, or did you forget that we’re mates?” He cocked his head, seeming to consider something before grabbing my hand and dragging me behind him. He was taking me back, I couldn’t allow it. I struggled with him “let go of me!” But his grip was like a vice and I could do nothing, but I didn’t

JAGGED CHAPTER 54
NATHAN’S POVRocking back and forth in my chair and thinking on how to approach the matter of the Tabloids this morning, I was damn near my breaking point. I groaned inwardly when her scent hit me, it was a scent that had managed to drive me crazy and keep me grounded at the same time over the years. I knew it was her even with my eyes closed. She knows now… I thought, she knows about my feelings. Perhaps I should have just died with that knowledge but… somehow it got out last night. All I’ve ever wanted was for her to be happy, sometimes I wonder if that was a mistake I’d made for myself, but then again, it’s not like I could have forced her. I mean… I could’ve told her but… I just couldn’t bring myself to do it or say those three words that keeps fluttering in my head. “What is it that you want Dev?” I asked, my exhaustion seeping into my voice. “I want to apologize” she was walking towards me now, but I don’t know if I can take that so I stopped her with a harsh “don’t…” she s
JAGGED CHAPTER 53
DEVONNE’S POVWhen I came to again, I saw that I was lying down on a couch in my living room. “You’re awake”. I turned in the direction of the voice, “Arian…” “Devonne I’m sorry” he said, coming to kneel in front of me and looking for the world like he was afraid. “I’ll never want to hurt you, I’ll never want to do anything that would make you sad and I’m so sorry” he ran his hands through his hair “you’ve got me wound up so tight, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore” I sat up, and cupped his face with my hands, “Arian… all those months in Italy, I didn’t know how much they meant to me until I had to leave, I didn’t know how much I was used to bickering with you until I was faced with the quietness of my own company, but sometimes I feel we both find it so difficult to communicate, it’s annoying… but I think it’s something we both ought to work on. I want to try this with you Arian, everyday I spent apart from you these last few weeks have been pure discomfort” having finally le
JAGGED CHAPTER 52
DEVONNE’S POVTanya appeared about half hour later in a flurry of pink and spent a good ten minutes doting on Nathan which made me… honestly… throw up a little in my mouth. “So… we’re going to the spa first” she said excitedly as we got into her car… yes her car. Nathan made sure to hide my keys, the motherfucking bastard. “Yay” I said dully… “I’ve always wanted a girls outing like this!” She said and tore out of my driveway. “You have them all the time Tanya” “oh no, this is different, I pay for everything on those outings with those leeches, I’m not spending anything on this one and I was told to go wild” she said and before I could ask her what she meant, she held up a black card. Nathan’s Card. “Oh” I just said and she huffed out a breath. “You really don’t like me, do you?” She asked and I was surprised. Maybe it was that surprise or the tone with which she asked me but… “no Tanya, no I don’t” “can you at least pretend? For today?” “What do you think I’ve been doing?” I ask s
JAGGED CHAPTER 51
ARIAN’S POV“She’s being annoying Edward, she wouldn’t let herself have anything good” I vented to Edward over the phone. “Glad you see yourself as something good” came the voice over the phone. “This is not the time to be sarcastic”, he sighed, “look Arian… Devonne has been through enough in her life, she obviously isn’t gonna trust you because you took her out on a date twice” “fine” I ground out and hung up. I leaned back on my couch, putting my arm over my eyes, “fucking stubborn mate…” I muttered and damn if the challenge she put out wasn’t turning me on like crazy. “Fu…ck” I groaned, I could jerk off, maybe it would reduce the pressure but… no, I won’t. The next time I was going to cum, I would be buried deep inside of Devonne. The thought of it had my cock straining against my pants but I simply would not acknowledge it. If she wanted to annoy me, then I would annoy her right back. I picked up my phone and dialed a number. After that I hit the gym, working out all the frustr
JAGGED CHAPTER 50
DEVONNE’S POV“Nuh uh, we’re taking my car”. I swear if looks could kill… yeah Arian would be dead, “but I like my car just fine” I protested and made to unlock my car but the keys were snatched from my hands. “Hmm, let’s just say, I’m not really comfortable with you driving any vehicle that I’m gonna be in” he said, holding the keys out of my reach. I eventually gave up and folded my arms. “You act like Ava when she doesn’t get what she wants” he chuckled and went to open the passenger door of his SUV for me. “You know what Arian?” I said as I got in “hmm?” “I refused to be annoyed by you today…” he laughed, shutting the door. “Glad you find me amusing” I muttered under my breath. We arrived at my Mother’s house, and just as we got there, it dawned on me that I never called to tell her that I was coming over. And most certainly not that I was bringing this hulking idiot with me. Oh well… guess we just might get it over with, I thought stepping out of the car. I was almost at the d
JAGGED CHAPTER 49
DEVONNE’S POVI was smiling while making cookies the next morning when Nathan walked into the kitchen, he was practically living in my house now, but thank God he slept out last night, because I don’t think I would be able to explain why I was moaning loudly in the living room, neither would I be able to get over the trauma if he had walked in on me and Arian. Speaking of Arian… I thought about our date last night, I had every reason to be skeptical but for whatever reason it was, I was just going with everything. “Uhm Hello… Earth to Devonne” Nathan was saying, waving his hands in my face. “Well good Morning to you too Nate” I said happily, “someone’s in a good mood” he noted with a smile of his own. “Hot date last night?” He asked, making me turn to stare at him. He had one brow up. “Well…” He just chuckled and scrolled on his phone, bringing up an article and showing his screen to me. It was a picture of Arian helping me out of the car and there was another of us coming out, whe
JAGGED CHAPTER 48
DEVONNE’S POV THE next day I was all dressed up and ready to go to work in green blazers and a tight skirt that came to stop mid thigh. Inappropriate? Well…that’s why I own the place. I pulled on my knee high heeled boots. I straightened my hair and let it down, applying some red gloss and blotting it with a tissue. Then I stepped out putting on a pair of sunglasses on my way to the car. I didn’t bother with jewelry except a wrist watch and a simple gold chain. When I arrived at the office, I received quite the welcome from my secretary, rattling off appointments and stuff that I needed to do. Sometimes I wonder if Sansa was human. But well, there’s only so much I can do about her being so good. Everything was going well, until I stepped into my office to find it filled with flowers. There were flowers everywhere, including on my desk, flowers of every kind and every color. At least a path was created for me to walk to my desk. Which as I finally looked up, was occupied by a certai
JAGGED CHAPTER 47
DEVONNE’S POVI had just come out of the shower, I decided to let my hair dry on it’s own and just sat in front of my mirror. I looked okay I guess, there was more color on my face. A knock on my door had me saying “come in” without considering who it could be. Maybe it was Nathan or one of my parents were back. What I did not expect though, was to see Arian walk into my room. I was instantly on my feet. He was looking exceptionally good in a well pressed lilac shirt and black pants, but I wasn’t about to tell him that. “What are you doing here? How’d you get in?” I demanded. “One, I’m here to see you, two, You left a key under the flowerpot” he drawled and just started approaching me. “Stay there!” I said, not wanting to have him anywhere close to me “Why though?” He asked still walking to me, at this point I had left my vanity and was now backing towards my closet.‘Because I just had a wet dream about you few hours back and I can’t trust my mind and body not to react to you’ I w
JAGGED CHAPTER 46
DEVONNE’S POVMY Dad came by later at night, Nathan in tow, looking very exhausted. I had my Mom move me downstairs again for dinner and so I could watch TV. “Where have you two been?” I asked in an accusatory tone “we had some work to take care of” my Dad replied. “I need to see Bri and Josh tomorrow Dad” I told him and he sighed “can we….. talk about this tomorrow? I’m sorry Dev but I’m beat and I really need to start heading home now”. I frowned at him “aren’t you gonna stay here?” He cleared his throat awkwardly “uhm, no….I ah. I just have to go” “Me too” my Mom blurted from where she was seated and I narrowed my eyes at both of them. “I’ll stay here with you Devonne, I don’t have anything doing at home anyway” Nathan said a bit quietly. I opened my mouth to ask questions but Nathan just cut me off. “They haven’t rested at all Devonne” and I immediately felt guilty. “Okay” I just said and watched them both walk out after each giving me a kiss on the head. And then I was alone
