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

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

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

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

DEVONNE’S POVI don’t know how long I knelt there, I had the vague sense of something filling my head, my consciousness. It was all so crazy, I don’t think I’ve ever felt this much pain in my life before. There was a rushing sound filling my ears, Then all of a sudden, they were there….. all the blank spots in my memory, I was wrong, I didn’t have those blank spots because I drank too much wine. I remembered, the woman who injected me eight before I lost contact with Mela. My wolf’s name is Mela. I stood up and looked up with eyes that were not mine, a growl rippled from my throat. I was filled with anger that wasn’t entirely mine, that is until Arian stepped into my line of vision and I felt it like a blow to my stomach, A bond, confirmed by Mela’s own growl of “mate” in my head, even as his scent of Almonds assaulted my nostrils. With that Mela recoiled back and I could look out through my own eyes again, but the clearing was brighter, the air fresher, I could almost taste it. I l

ARIAN’S POVMY wolf won’t let me be, I mean, he always bugs me, but since Devonne’s wolf woke up, he’s been reeking claws down the walls of my mind. Literally. I groaned again for the fourth time that hour. Three days, for fucks sake, I’ve been trying to drown him out for Three days, he’s managed to keep me from bedding anyone. Hurting anyone whom I take to my bed, he wouldn’t let me sleep. ‘You’re being a child, you don’t even want to get to know her’ he said “you’re being annoying” I growled back, sweating from resisting the urge to go to her. An hour later, I gave up and just went to her rooms, she seemed docile enough these days that I was sure she wasn’t going to try escaping again. I’m still not sure how she managed to evade the guard I’d sent with them to the mall the last time. When I opened the door to her chambers, I noticed the scent….. or lack of it. I swore. I forgot to lock the bathroom. Wherever she was, I’m pretty sure she hadn’t left the building. So I followed h

DEVONNE’S POV And that was how I was stuck in this clearing after my cycle ended, not the one from earlier, a different one, bigger, standing in a defensive position. I hated this, it was like training with Lucas, only this time I wasn’t in love with Arian, I loathed him. I was only here because I needed answers. When I get the answers I need. I’m out. Mate or no. Ignoring the growl that Mela let loose in my head because of t he direction of my thoughts, I focused on my breathing just as Arian had instructed. I’m not entirely sure why he didn’t just send someone else to do this. “If you’re just gonna teach me to fight, I already know how” I said for probably the fifth time that hour “yeah I heard you the hundred times” he said, while I was in this painful squatting position, he was just sitting on a rock munching on a sandwich. I gritted my teeth….. answers, I was doing this for answers, but what were the questions? I asked myself and I blinked, because I couldn’t actually think o

DEVONNE’S POVMy face was swollen for days, Two weeks later the bruises on my face had mostly faded. Apparently I couldn’t heal as fast as a normal wolf. Which sucked, but I’m over it. I didn’t spend two weeks idle, what happened in the training grounds was enough proof that I had become rusty. I wonder if I could even fire a gun with that razor sharp focus I used to have. I spent my mornings going through my own routines, spent the afternoons and evenings with Arian, either doing his weird breathing exercises or sparring. If anyone was wondering, No….he wasn’t head over heels for me yet and I still despised him. Sometimes I do wonder if we were really mates, maybe some twisted hand of fate had decided to play with us. I didn’t believe in fate though. If anything, I took my own fate into my hands the day my husband died. Oh Lucas. Anyways two weeks later I was brought into the training grounds again, with the same bait of being able to send a single email to whom ever I wanted. I

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
