Sorry to keep you all hanging for a few hours. I accidentally hit publish when I wasn´t done editing the next two chapters. But here´s the second one, and one more coming :) Enjoy!
JANNA "Is this just a game to you?" Aaron´s eyes were blazing with fire. He was attempting to keep his wolf under control. I should've been terrified, but I wasn't. "You tell me..." I smacked my lips together, pretending his anger didn't bother me at all. "You're confusing me." A growl revibrated from his chest, as his hands coiled into fists. He was ready to walk away when I held my palm against his chest. His eyes delved deep into mine and I could see his desire growing. "You can have any female you want, and yet here you are, chasing after me when you know exactly that I don't like you." My finger trailed down from his nose to his mouth, brushing his soft lips gently. "Am I a challenge you´re trying to win? Because you know I am someone you can't have? Off-limits? Your Alpha´s sister?" I could feel his body reacting to my touch, and it was all I ever wanted. I wanted him to fall hard for me. In the same way that I was falling fo
JANNA Jacob mind-linked Aaron, looking for me. Aaron told him that we were by the border, managing the queue of cars leaving the territory. My brother requested to have me back at the packhouse immediately, and Aaron was coaxing me to get on my feet so we could get back to the little cabin by the border to clean up before we drove back. But I wasn´t ready to go yet. "Janna! What are you doing? We need to go." He was tugging at my hand, but I kept tugging him back. "Wait! We can´t go yet!" I snapped at him. "I need to find it. We can´t just leave it here!" "Goddess, Janna! We need to go! What are you looking for anyway? " "My fucking underwear that you ripped off!" He snickered, and I just glared at him before turning around to look again. "I´ll come back to look for it tomorrow." He said it in a very calm manner. "No way! I'm not leaving it here for some wolves to come across and sniff! Can you help me i
AARON After the Alpha calmed down, I left the packhouse and headed back to the border. I knew where the Alpha was coming from, especially after what happened with Clair. I was just too fucking excited to have some alone time with Janna that I forgot about her safety and the people who were looking after her. Jake was just being a brother to Janna. Like I was to Clair. And this was getting messier. I was fucking disappointed with Janna's telling me that it was just the heat of the moment. Was she fucking real? She´s been running on my mind for a lot longer than what I wanted to admit, and it was just the heat of the moment? Then I´ve been having too much heat of the moment when it comes to her. But what she explained made sense. I just ended things with Jenny and jumped right through her, but then I don´t do relationships. So I have no fucking idea if there were rules that I needed to understand. I guessed I needed to take t
JANNA I woke up alone in Aaron´s room, and to say that I was disappointed was an understatement. Aside from the fact that I was hoping to wake up in his arms, I was hoping at least that he would wake me up before he left. But why should I expect too much when I was the one who forced my way into his room last night? Well, I got what I wanted and spent the night with him. I shouldn´t be complaining. I shoved the blanket off and started fixing his bed, and when I was satisfied with it, I glanced at the wall clock near his bathroom. It was twenty minutes before eight in the morning. I missed my training with Aaron and it was almost time for breakfast. I needed to hurry up before I bumped into someone in the hallway. After making sure that the corridor was clear, I walked carefully towards the stairs and went up to my floor. The area was clear as well, but just as I was about to open my door, the Beta´s room door opened and my eyes locked wi
AARON I just spent the whole day clearing out the room I picked out on the second floor. It wasn´t as big as my old room, but it had a view of the front of the packhouse, and to be honest, it didn't matter what it looked like to me. I just wanted Janna to be comfortable. And just to get it straight, I didn´t do this because I just wanted to fuck her. Fine! Of course, I do. But I also wanted to have a clean start with her. I had no idea about Janna´s sexual experience, and honestly, I don't care if there were others before me. But since she was fully aware of mine, I wanted to show her they were all in the past now. And as much as I wanted her in my room tonight, I could wait a day or two more. Besides, I wasn´t done with transferring my personal stuff from the other room yet. A smile tugged on my mouth at the memory of her sitting on the patio with her book covering half of her face. She was trying to discreetly listen to my conversation
JANNAI woke up before six in the morning but decided to force myself back to sleep. But I couldn´t. In the end, I just let myself get lost in my book. I had no plan to attend my training with Aaron. It's not that I wanted to avoid him, it´s not my style.I wanted Aaron, and I wasn´t ready to give up on him.I just wanted him to realize that I was worth his attention, that I was more than just a plaything. But for him to realize that, he needed to miss my presence.When it was time for breakfast, I went out of my bedroom wearing a short spaghetti strap dress that ended up to my midthigh and pulled my black hair into a high ponytail. My simple makeup did well to cover the bags under my eyes, and I thought I looked good enough to catch his attention.Everyone was already seated at the dining table when I arrived."Good morning!" I greeted the group as I made my way to the table, my eyes avoiding his, but I saw him turn his he
AARONI knocked at my sister´s office and she let me in right away. She must have noticed the grim expression on my face because she stood up from her seat and was about to approach me, but I stopped her with my hand."What´s wrong? Are you okay?" Clair stood a few feet away from me, her brows furrowing.I shook my head. "Did you talk to Janna? Did you tell her to stay away from me?"Clair´s eyes widened as she shook her head, "No! I would never do that!""Don´t fucking lie to me!" I snapped at her and she took a step back."I didn't! I swear! I would never do that! You know me, Aaron! I always tell you to leave those girls, but I will never approach them or say anything against you!"I brushed my hands over my face before I slumped on the single couch just beside me."Then what the fuck is happening?""What´s going on?""Janna is avoiding me! She didn't attend our training, dec
AARON I could sense Janna´s anxiety all throughout, and as much as I wanted to console her, I was doing my best to stay away. The last thing I wanted was for her to reject me when I had plans I wanted to put into place tonight. I knew Clair would take care of her, so I tried to ignore her. But when she finally dropped into her knees at the first sign of pain, it took all of my willpower to stop myself from rushing to her side. She was putting on a brave front while taking off her shorts, and I was putting on a fucking poker face watching her do it as if I wasn´t affected. I only let out the breath I was holding when she didn´t take off her shirt and told Clair that she didn't want to be fully naked. It was the fucking reason why I brought two mated warriors with me tonight instead of the regular ones, which were unmated to help the pups with their shifting. Wolves might not be bothered with nakedness, but I still don´t want any m
LUNA CLAIR. “Hi, Mommy!” I spoke with a broken voice as I fought my tears from falling, but they fell anyway. “I made cupcakes for you. They were not as good as yours, but I made them with all the love and longing I have for you.” Jake’s arms wrapped around me as he held me tightly while my fingers brushed on the flat headstone with Mom's name on it. “I miss you so much, but I know you are happy, right? Because Aaron and I found our mates, and they’re lovely. And they're siblings! So we don’t need to be separated from each other. We can stay together until we’re old and gray, like what Aaron would always say.” I tried to talk clearly, but my sobs were getting in the way. “Mommy, I got mated to Jake. Remember, you kept telling me to convince Jake that being a fated mate was not a bad thing? I did my best. He was so hardheaded, but I finally made him realize there was no better option than his fated mate.” My hands flew to my face as my cries got louder. “I wish you were here, Mommy
Hello, lovelies!These are the additional chapters/content that were added to the paperback version and can be bought on A M A Z O N. But I'm also loading it here for you to enjoy 💛CHAPTER 55.5 - CONTINUATION FROM CHAPTER 55JANNA.I was already by the stairs when I heard footsteps following me, and I knew it was Aaron.I was about to continue to the third floor when he grabbed my waist, yanked me up onto his shoulder, and made a detour toward his room on the second floor."Aaaah! Let me go!" I wriggled my body to get away from him, but I knew it would be futile, as always."What the fuck was that? Can we discuss it first before you say it's non-negotiable?" His voice was showing displeasure, and I just closed my eyes and shut my mouth, waiting until we reached his room.Aaron dropped my body on the mattress before he placed his hands on his hips as he stood at the foot of the bed. A scowl formed on his face before he spoke. "We can't make decisions without consulting each other. W
IN THE ARMS OF MY ALPHA A growl revibrated from his chest as my dress fell down and pooled on my feet. I was completely naked and I could see my Alpha's eyes shifting into full obsidian black. He wanted me. And that was all that mattered tonight. I let a seductive smile curve on my lips, hiding the nervousness I felt inside. It was now or never. "I'm all yours, Alpha..." "Get dressed! And get out!" His breathing became hitched as his gaze swept all over my naked form. I walked towards him, biting my lower lip as I slowly unbuttoned his shirt, ignoring his anger. He would have pushed me away if h
THE LAST NIGHT - ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA of the BLACK SHADOW PACK Jake - 44 years old Aaron and Gavin - 42 years old GAMMA AARON. I stood in the middle of the quadrangle. The warriors would soon finish their training for the day. I let my eyes wander over the training grounds that have been under my command for the last twenty-four years since I took over the Gamma position at the age of eighteen. It has been quite a journey. Tomorrow night, Jace would step up as the new Alpha of the Black Shadow Pack, and together with him, Tyler and Austin would take the positions as his Beta and Gamma. My heart was overflowing with satisfaction for everything this pack has gone through over the years. We were attacked and ridiculed, but we managed to rise above it. We have a strong Alpha, and he has a strong team behind him — a strong Beta and Gamma. I'm not ashamed to put myself on a pedestal because I knew
13 YEARS AFTER JANNA. My whole family was on our way to visit Mom and Dad in the big city. It's been a while since I was here, and the new buildings and structures were fascinating to see. A lot has improved. Aaron made a turn and was now passing through the area that once served as my second home. It was near my high school, and though I missed the place, I knew I would rather be in the territory than here. "Stop!" My hand flew to Aaron's chest as he hit the brake hard. Our bodies jolted forward, but we were held back by our seatbelts. My head snapped back to my back and I checked the kids on the passenger seats. Both were grimacing, but they looked fine. I felt the car move as Aaron maneuvered us into the parking space beside the sidewalk. "Janna! Don't do that again!" Aaron snapped at me, and I just bit my lower lip as I looked back at him, guilty for what I did. His eyes softened before a smile tugged at his lips. "What's going on?" My eyes widened when I remembered why I t
JANNA. I couldn't tell the exact moment I fell for Aaron. One day I just woke up and knew I was hurting every time I see him with Jenny. And then I just fell hard, even before the mate bond snapped into place. I wasn't even eighteen then. I was scared it was just infatuation and, sooner or later, it would run out. That was why I insisted on finishing high school away from him. I wanted to be sure that this was the life I wanted. That I wasn't just pushed by circumstances to end up being his mate. But then I got pregnant. And everything made sense. I wanted him. I wanted the baby. I wanted us and the life we would make out of it. Two years ago, I came to my brother's territory to take my rightful claim as the Alpha's sister, but never did I imagine that that event would turn my whole life around. Now, I couldn't imagine my life away from here, away from my mate. Aaron is my home. This is exactly where I wan
AARON. The day was almost over and my body was spent from all the sessions I had today with my Elites. I just wanted to come home and have my mate in my arms. Janna would be giving birth soon, and I knew my priority would be on her and our pup. So I was trying to do all I could to prepare the team when my full attention wouldn't be on them once my pup came out. The warrior I was sparring with bowed his head in submission as we ended our session. I went to the bench nearby and picked up my water bottle, quenching my thirst before I dried up my sweat with a towel and pulled a shirt over my body. I received a mindlink thirty minutes ago that Jenny and Beta Dominic had entered the territory. They would be here soon. Or they were here already. Jenny's mate was sent on training, and since she had some free time on her hands, she requested to be allowed entrance to the territory to visit her mother. And the Beta, I assumed, took that opportunity to come with her either to visit Janna o
SEVEN MONTHS AFTER (Janna's accident) JANNA. My eyes fluttered open as a soft gasp escaped my lips. Sparks were coursing from my belly to every part of my body. Delicious tingles spread on my thighs as Aaron's hard, calloused palm caressed my skin softly. I tilted my head lower and saw my mate giving me pepper kisses on my swollen belly while his hand was busy trailing my leg until it found and cupped my sex. "Good morning, baby wolf..." Aaron's deep baritone voice softened as he murmured against my stomach. "I can't wait for you to come out. Daddy's going to take you into the forest, and you can ride Ark's back. Just you and me..." I smiled as I brushed my fingers against his hair, loving the way he always talked with our pup before he started his day. He glanced up at me, his eyes twinkling and full of mischievousness as he cupped my pussy tighter, before brushing a finger into my already wet folds. "Hmmm..." I moaned softly as I closed my eyes, my fingers coiling on his hair,
AARON. The transfusion lasted for hours before she was transferred back to the recovery room. Jake and Jason were also transferred to a different room, so they could rest for a while. Although I could see that there was no need for it, but as Lea advised, they needed to sit still for a while just for the sake of it. We were all gathered in the room where the Alpha and his father were when the doctor came in and explained that Janna was responding nicely to the transfusion and her vitals were steadily improving. She would need a few more hours to rest, but they were not sedating her anymore. She also mentioned that they didn't see any complications with our baby, only that its heartbeat was still relatively slow and they were monitoring it. My heart clenched at the many possibilities running through my mind, but I tried to block it off. The doctor left, but Lea stayed behind, a wide smile curved on her lips. She watched as the doo
