JAGGEDย ย ย CHAPTER 16
โSO let me get this straight, my father and I are wolves, and my mother is a witchโฆโฆ.who poisons my wolf andโฆ..takes my memories?โ 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 didnโt think anything could, not even the kindness on Marthaโs face. โI 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 thisโฆโฆโ โyouโre damn right it isโ. โits obviously been a long day for you, just let me show you your room, Iโm sure you can find Arian and beat him up after youโve showered and slept, since you insisted on not eating anythingโ, I nodded and stood up with her.โyour father might as well start a war over this, I just donโt understand why Arian couldnโt just approach him and ask him for an audience with you like a manโ 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 Iโd just run off like I always do. Iโd never regretted being an impulsive traveller as I was at that very moment. โhow?......howโd you get a hold of these?โ I blurted. She just gave me a kind smile, โEdward just had them brought inโ. Edward huh, I thought ruefully, that debt will definitely be paid when I got out of here, if I ever got out of here. โwell did he get my phone as well?โ I asked sounding hopeful. She was quiet. โMartha?โ โArian instructed that you not be allowed any access to any gadgets until he orders otherwiseโ. I scowled, half tempted to march into his room and rip him a new one, but the memory of this morningโs 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

ARIANโS POVSHE looked like quite the sight though, without the usual privileges she usually has, her usually bone straight hair was like a birdsโ 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 didnโt know why, but it was satisfying.โI shouldโve known that he had packed clothes from my office closet, how am I supposed to walk around wearing blazers? Or dinner dresses?โ she scowled, โoh but you should be grateful you got any clothes at allโ I drawled, making a show of looking her pale blue blazer up and down. โcan I at least have my phone? Or any of my credit cards?, I know you have themโ she was looking exasperated now, I couldnโt help but laugh, the hoarse sound ripping from my throat, making it quite obvious that I hadnโt done that in a good while. โand risk you contacting your father? Or your pretty eyed boyfriend back home?โ 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. โNateโ โDev?โ My eyes watered at the sound of his voice, I closed them, โNate, I donโt have much timeโ I swallowed โcan you track this phone?โ โShit, Iโm not at home, I donโt have any means to track itโ he swore again โDev, where are you?โ โItalyโ โshit shit, how? Who? Do you know where exactly you are? I can send a jetโฆโฆ.โ he was still talking when the phone was snatched from my hand. Startled, I looked up into very angry Amber eyes. โDevonneโ he said, or thatโs what I thought he said, it sounded more like a growl. โI can track you anywhere in this world by scent alone, or did you forget that weโre mates?โ He cocked his head, seeming to consider something before grabbing my hand and dragging me behind him. He was taking me back, I couldnโt allow it. I struggled with him โlet go of me!โ But his grip was like a vice and I could do nothing, but I didnโt

DEVONNEโS POVI donโt know how long I knelt there, I had the vague sense of something filling my head, my consciousness. It was all so crazy, I donโt think Iโve ever felt this much pain in my life before. There was a rushing sound filling my ears, Then all of a sudden, they were thereโฆ.. all the blank spots in my memory, I was wrong, I didnโt 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 wolfโs 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 wasnโt 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 Melaโs own growl of โmateโ 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

ARIANโS POVMY wolf wonโt let me be, I mean, he always bugs me, but since Devonneโs wolf woke up, heโs been reeking claws down the walls of my mind. Literally. I groaned again for the fourth time that hour. Three days, for fucks sake, Iโve been trying to drown him out for Three days, heโs managed to keep me from bedding anyone. Hurting anyone whom I take to my bed, he wouldnโt let me sleep. โYouโre being a child, you donโt even want to get to know herโ he said โyouโre being annoyingโ 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 wasnโt going to try escaping again. Iโm still not sure how she managed to evade the guard Iโd sent with them to the mall the last time. When I opened the door to her chambers, I noticed the scentโฆ.. or lack of it. I swore. I forgot to lock the bathroom. Wherever she was, Iโm pretty sure she hadnโt left the building. So I followed h

DEVONNEโS 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 wasnโt in love with Arian, I loathed him. I was only here because I needed answers. When I get the answers I need. Iโm 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. Iโm not entirely sure why he didnโt just send someone else to do this. โIf youโre just gonna teach me to fight, I already know howโ I said for probably the fifth time that hour โyeah I heard you the hundred timesโ he said, while I was in this painful squatting position, he was just sitting on a rock munching on a sandwich. I gritted my teethโฆ.. answers, I was doing this for answers, but what were the questions? I asked myself and I blinked, because I couldnโt actually think o

DEVONNEโS POVMy face was swollen for days, Two weeks later the bruises on my face had mostly faded. Apparently I couldnโt heal as fast as a normal wolf. Which sucked, but Iโm over it. I didnโt 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, Noโฆ.he wasnโt 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 didnโt 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

NATHANโS 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 nowโฆ I thought, she knows about my feelings. Perhaps I should have just died with that knowledge butโฆ somehow it got out last night. All Iโve ever wanted was for her to be happy, sometimes I wonder if that was a mistake Iโd made for myself, but then again, itโs not like I could have forced her. I meanโฆ I couldโve told her butโฆ I just couldnโt bring myself to do it or say those three words that keeps fluttering in my head. โWhat is it that you want Dev?โ I asked, my exhaustion seeping into my voice. โI want to apologizeโ she was walking towards me now, but I donโt know if I can take that so I stopped her with a harsh โdonโtโฆโ she s

DEVONNEโS POVWhen I came to again, I saw that I was lying down on a couch in my living room. โYouโre awakeโ. I turned in the direction of the voice, โArianโฆโ โDevonne Iโm sorryโ he said, coming to kneel in front of me and looking for the world like he was afraid. โIโll never want to hurt you, Iโll never want to do anything that would make you sad and Iโm so sorryโ he ran his hands through his hair โyouโve got me wound up so tight, I donโt even know what Iโm doing anymoreโ I sat up, and cupped his face with my hands, โArianโฆ all those months in Italy, I didnโt know how much they meant to me until I had to leave, I didnโt 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, itโs annoyingโฆ but I think itโs 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 discomfortโ having finally le

DEVONNEโS POVTanya appeared about half hour later in a flurry of pink and spent a good ten minutes doting on Nathan which made meโฆ honestlyโฆ throw up a little in my mouth. โSoโฆ weโre going to the spa firstโ she said excitedly as we got into her carโฆ yes her car. Nathan made sure to hide my keys, the motherfucking bastard. โYayโ I said dullyโฆ โIโve always wanted a girls outing like this!โ She said and tore out of my driveway. โYou have them all the time Tanyaโ โoh no, this is different, I pay for everything on those outings with those leeches, Iโm not spending anything on this one and I was told to go wildโ she said and before I could ask her what she meant, she held up a black card. Nathanโs Card. โOhโ I just said and she huffed out a breath. โYou really donโt like me, do you?โ She asked and I was surprised. Maybe it was that surprise or the tone with which she asked me butโฆ โno Tanya, no I donโtโ โcan you at least pretend? For today?โ โWhat do you think Iโve been doing?โ I ask s
JAGGEDย ย ย CHAPTER 51
ARIANโS POVโSheโs being annoying Edward, she wouldnโt let herself have anything goodโ I vented to Edward over the phone. โGlad you see yourself as something goodโ came the voice over the phone. โThis is not the time to be sarcasticโ, he sighed, โlook Arianโฆ Devonne has been through enough in her life, she obviously isnโt gonna trust you because you took her out on a date twiceโ โfineโ I ground out and hung up. I leaned back on my couch, putting my arm over my eyes, โfucking stubborn mateโฆโ I muttered and damn if the challenge she put out wasnโt turning me on like crazy. โFuโฆckโ I groaned, I could jerk off, maybe it would reduce the pressure butโฆ no, I wonโt. 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

DEVONNEโS POVโNuh uh, weโre taking my carโ. I swear if looks could killโฆ yeah Arian would be dead, โbut I like my car just fineโ I protested and made to unlock my car but the keys were snatched from my hands. โHmm, letโs just say, Iโm not really comfortable with you driving any vehicle that Iโm gonna be inโ he said, holding the keys out of my reach. I eventually gave up and folded my arms. โYou act like Ava when she doesnโt get what she wantsโ he chuckled and went to open the passenger door of his SUV for me. โYou know what Arian?โ I said as I got in โhmm?โ โI refused to be annoyed by you todayโฆโ he laughed, shutting the door. โGlad you find me amusingโ I muttered under my breath. We arrived at my Motherโs 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 wellโฆ guess we just might get it over with, I thought stepping out of the car. I was almost at the d

DEVONNEโS 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 donโt 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 Arianโฆ 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. โUhm Helloโฆ Earth to Devonneโ Nathan was saying, waving his hands in my face. โWell good Morning to you too Nateโ I said happily, โsomeoneโs in a good moodโ he noted with a smile of his own. โHot date last night?โ He asked, making me turn to stare at him. He had one brow up. โWellโฆโ 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

DEVONNEโS 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? Wellโฆthatโs 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 didnโt 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, thereโs 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

DEVONNEโS POVI had just come out of the shower, I decided to let my hair dry on itโs 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 โcome inโ 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 wasnโt about to tell him that. โWhat are you doing here? Howโd you get in?โ I demanded. โOne, Iโm here to see you, two, You left a key under the flowerpotโ he drawled and just started approaching me. โStay there!โ I said, not wanting to have him anywhere close to me โWhy though?โ He asked still walking to me, at this point I had left my vanity and was now backing towards my closet.โBecause I just had a wet dream about you few hours back and I canโt trust my mind and body not to react to youโ I w

DEVONNEโS 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. โWhere have you two been?โ I asked in an accusatory tone โwe had some work to take care ofโ my Dad replied. โI need to see Bri and Josh tomorrow Dadโ I told him and he sighed โcan weโฆ.. talk about this tomorrow? Iโm sorry Dev but Iโm beat and I really need to start heading home nowโ. I frowned at him โarenโt you gonna stay here?โ He cleared his throat awkwardly โuhm, noโฆ.I ah. I just have to goโ โMe tooโ my Mom blurted from where she was seated and I narrowed my eyes at both of them. โIโll stay here with you Devonne, I donโt have anything doing at home anywayโ Nathan said a bit quietly. I opened my mouth to ask questions but Nathan just cut me off. โThey havenโt rested at all Devonneโ and I immediately felt guilty. โOkayโ I just said and watched them both walk out after each giving me a kiss on the head. And then I was alone
