JAGGED CHAPTER 30
DEVONNE’S POV“Did I just hear you talking to yourself?” Arian asked me. Oh, guess she was right about me being the only one who could communicate with her, it must have been a lonely few years. “It’s none of your business Arian” I huffed and fell back on the bed, throwing the covers over myself. “Come on you have to tell me, I need to know if my fated mate is a mad person” he said again, his voice sounding closer, I looked at him with narrowed eyes and found him looking amused. “I need to go to bed now mate” he smirked grabbing the covers with a large hand and throwing them open. I just turned the other way and slid closer to the edge of the bed. He chuckled, I heard the bed dip and then dip again closer to where I was, my eyes widened as I felt his arm around my waist, I screeched and scrambled away from the bed glaring daggers at him. He just laughed harder, “you … you should’ve seen your face!” “Glad to know my misery makes you happy” I deadpanned “Oh come on, you looked hilar

DEVONNE'S POV“what the fuck was that?” Arian asked frantically, running his hands all over my face, I had gotten myself back after several minutes and gulping a glass of really cold water that he had handed me. I ignored his question and asked instead “how did you know what to do?” “I didn’t, I just acted I guess, you were like lava, and ah… cold is like the opposite of heat” he said, rubbing the back of his head, pretty sure he just realized he was stuttering “I just screamed because I felt so much heat, guess I have to master these witch powers as soon as possible huh” I said letting out a nervous laugh. I wasn’t about to tell Arian that I had seen a weird blue haired lady in the mirror, followed by his dead, ‘not dead’ twin sister.“if Margot were here, she probably would’ve been able to help you” I just looked at him and was quiet, long enough that he felt he needed to clarify “Margot is…” “your twin sister, Edward’s mate and Ava’s mother, yeah, I know” I cut him off. “oh, I’ll

DEVONNE’S POV“Are you kidding me? This place is amazing!” I exclaimed, because it really was, it was just empty. I have a lot of businesses but I don’t quite know how to run a restaurant. Maybe I should partner with one when I’m back in LA so I can learn some new stuff. I made a mental note to check in with Sansa when I got back. “Ahem, earth to Devonne” I snapped out of my little daze to see an amused expression on Arian’s face “what?” “Well, if my guess is right, you were just imagining yourself as the owner of a restaurant weren’t you?” “Oh come on, I’m not that predictable” I scoffed, “oh yes you are” he countered “you’re one of the most successful business owners in all of California, not just LA, you’ve got to have the mind of a machine to achieve all that you have” I just looked at my lap, and this time when my stomach growled, I was thankful for it, because it meant I got to eat and choose not to divulge anything about my life. So we ordered and ate in silence, it wasn’

DEVONNE’S POV I paced my room anxiously the next morning. What just happened?! How am I going to face him now? He literally just said “mine” before zooming out the door, shifting before he crossed the threshold and bounding out the front door. “Shit, shit, shit” we didn’t even have sex yet and I had to get to my room on shaky legs. That orgasm was mind blowing, I’ll give him that, but…… I scrubbed at my face before heading to the bathroom. That Orgasm was mind blowing and I wanted another one. I went behind the shower curtain and started taking a shower, letting the warm spray wash away the feeling of last night, only….it didn’t. I had vivid images of his silver hair between my legs as he worked me with his tongue. I could almost still feel his tight grip on my hip. Remembering it alone was making me so dizzy, I placed my hand in the wall, panting. And a single word crossed my mind. Fuck. “Breakfast is ready” I heard in my head while drying off, did Arian just speak in my mind? “Y

DEVONNE’S POV“I will not talk to you about that over the phone” my father growled, “it’s either you get back to LA Or you get no answers at all, you have some questions to answer too” “Oh please, that’s just ridiculous, I have the right to know!” “And I am not denying you that right, you on the other hand are denying me the right to see you” I sucked in a breath and pinched the bridge of my nose. “ I can’t come back to LA right now” I said as calmly as I could manage, “why not?” “I have …. things to do here so….” I don’t think I stayed in my rooms for up to half an hour before Arian came knocking “Devonne? Is everything okay?” “I’m fine Arian” I shouted back. “If I should believe that, you have to open the door” “Ugh!” I exclaimed, but I stood up to go open the door anyway, “hey” he said, he was holding a plate that had burgers and fries in it and a plastic bag that probably contained soda. “Arian? I just ate” I said, looking from him to the bag and then back to him again. He s

DEVONNE’S POV “No way! You’re only saying that because you’re a werewolf, She’s much better with Edward” I argued around a mouthful of popcorn. Arian does know his way around the kitchen, we were watching twilight and had gotten into a little argument about who was best for the female lead. Personally I had a fettish for vampires, if they were secretly existing, I’d have been out the door. Seriously. “You’re only saying that cos you had a thing for Edward when you first met!” He said and I gasped in mock horror, “that is such a low blow Arian!” “Well then, You’re only saying what you’re saying because you’re being a typical girl” he scoffed and I laughed at his poor argument. I was about to point something else out when I heard a crash downstairs. With the way Arian tensed, I was sure he heard it loud and clear too. He was out the door In a heartbeat with a quick “stay here, I’ll go check it out” I waited all of 30 seconds before slipping out after him. “You’re not supposed to be h

DEVONNE’S POVTWO days later, the pack house was bustling with activity again, I watched as Martha wheeled in Ava’s box, with Ava beside her smiling ear to ear. “If I’m to judge by that smile, daddy did give you a good time” I teased, wiggling my brows at her. She giggled, covering her mouth with her hands. “Hello Martha” I kissed her two cheeks, even she was surprised at the contact “hope you had a good time off” “I did, thank you very much Devonne, do you mind keeping Ava company? I have to go drop these upstairs” “Of course, I don’t mind at all” I said quickly and watched as she went up the stairs. “So Ava, there’s a lot you and I have to talk about, can you keep a secret?” From the grin she was giving me, I could tell she enjoyed being naughty. “Come on” I beckoned and she put her hand in mine. “I missed you Devonne” I blinked, “did you now?” “Uh huh” “well that’s not surprising at all” I muttered. I took her to the lake, “I want to show you something” I whispered dramatic

DEVONNE’S POV I picked out a peach colored dress, because it was Ava’s favorite color. Somehow it was just there in my closet, I didn’t question it, I just put it on. My only accessory was a sapphire necklace that my dad had gifted me when he heard of my wedding but couldn’t attend because of his injuries. It really was just a silver chain with a small, oval shaped sapphire pendant, it had cost a fortune. Outside, Arian put his hand out for me and I took it, offering him a soft smile. He offered me a nervous one in return, why does he look nervous though. Just before we were about to get into his newly acquired SUV, my phone rang and I dislodged my hand from his, “I really have to take this” I said as the only explanation before heading a little distance away. “Donna” came the silky voice from the other end. I laughed. “I told you to stop calling me that” “why Aunty? You never stopped the others” “Don’t be silly Leo, I’ll send you my location when I’m ready, otherwise, it’ll have

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

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
