JANNA Aaron didn't join us for dinner. He ate dinner together with his warriors and I was okay with that. I didn't like the idea of seating beside him and pretending that there was nothing going on between us especially with Andrea around. I haven't gone on the full Aaron-Andrea thing yet with Aaron, and I was planning to do it later. I just wanted it off my chest because, as much as I trusted Aaron, his past and what I went through with Michael were enough reasons for me to doubt if someone would ever take me seriously. Or if I would be good enough to be someone's priority. And Andrea was just too perfect. I co
AARON By this time, I was already exhausted from all the paperwork I had to complete for the elite group, and by the time I was done for the day, I immediately rushed out of the training building and went directly to the packhouse. I wanted to see Janna and I was hoping everyone had retired to bed already, so no one would see me if I went directly to her room. The packhouse was already quiet when I came in, but then Ark started to feel agitated that my first thought was Janna. With hurried steps, I went for the stairs and found Janna holding onto the wall. She was crying, and my heart clenched at the sight of her tear-stricken face. "Janna?" I called for her and rushed to her side, pulling her into my arms. She wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her face in my chest. "I'm sorry, Aaron. I'm sorry!" She mumbled these words again and again, and I was scared that she had done something that she was now regretting. "
AARON Janna's hand was tightly clasped against mine while it rested on her thigh as we drove out of the territory towards the city. Beta Dominic was in a car behind us. And, as much as the Beta insisted on riding in the same car as me and Janna, the Alpha put his foot down and told the Beta that if he didn't follow his rules, he could forget having lunch with Janna. Well, Alpha Jake just slipped back onto my list of good people. I met the Alpha early this morning, demanding an explanation for allowing Janna to have lunch with Dominic, and I got more answers than I was asking for. I knew Alpha Caspian was here in the territory and he was probably the one Janna saw last night, but it didn't sit well with me that they were mixing Janna into this mess. But at the end of the day, I trust my Alpha. And now, it is my fucking job to make sure that my girl doesn't fall for the Beta's charm. I was holding my breath while waiting for Janna to come down f
AARON It was already hard enough watching Janna eat lunch with Beta Dominic, and it was even more irritating having to stay nice with the waitress, who was obviously flirting with me. It didn't slip my eyes the times that Janna's gaze was throwing daggers not just at the waitress but at me as well. And I couldn't do anything, so I tried my best to ignore the server because, as much as I was hundred percent sure I wasn't interested, I knew my little wolf. She could be nasty when she got jealous, and the last thing I wanted was for her to blow our relationship out in front of the Beta. After what felt like an eternity, they finally decided to end their lunch.
JANNA I sat in front of Aaron just to make sure he kept his hands off me while we were in public. The last thing I wanted was for us to draw attention, even though I badly wanted to hug him already. I was scanning the menu when a female approached us, ready to take our orders. "Hi!" She said this in a very friendly voice. "What are we having today?" "Hi!" I replied without taking my eyes off the menu and started reading my order. "I'll have a grilled burger with barbecue sauce and fries. And then strawberry milkshake." Once I was done, I lifted my head to look at her and found a tall, blond female smiling seductively at Aaron. My eyes squinted before I slowly looked at Aaron in front of me. He was staring at the menu, but I could feel that he was anxious. His ears were starting to turn red. "Did you hear what I said?" I asked the female in a sarcastic tone. She tilted her head towards me before giving me a fake smile, "Yes pup, a grilled burger with barbecue sauce, fries, and
GAVIN I was in the office with the Alpha when the patroller sent a mindlink that Beta Dominic was already back and on his way to the packhouse. I and the Alpha spring into action. We weren't expecting them back at this point, and Alpha Caspian and Andrea were still in the middle of the forest doing what they were working on. Alpha Jacob rushed to where they were while I waited by the parking lot so I could take the Beta away from here. "Hey! You're back early." I closed the hood of my car and brushed my hands agains
JANNA "I really like you, Janna, and I was hoping I would get to know you more in the coming days." Beta Dominic was sitting in front of me on the patio beside the packhouse. They were about to leave, and since he was still waiting for Andreawho was with Alia and Beta Gavin, he requested to have a moment with me after breakfast. I smiled at him and nodded my head, keeping my hands clasped together and resting them on my knee with my legs crossed. "I'm sure we will have more time to get to know each other, Beta Dominic. I am not really in a rush to be mated with anyone. I still want to do so many things." "We can also do things together. Just let me know." He smiled coyly. "I'll keep that in mind." "Can I ask you something?" "Sure..." I raised my hand and checked my nails, this was slowly turning into boredom already. I wondered if I should just tell him point-blank that although he was good-looking and had nice abs, he wa
JANNA 'Oh my Goddess, you're impossible! Go away from here and let me live!' I hissed at Aaron through our mindlink. I was just talking and listening to some of his warriors who were sharing with me and Pearl, my trainer, some of the hilarious stories they had during some of their encounters with the rouges, and Aaron just came hurling words at me like a hurricane. 'I'm fucking counting! Go now! One! Two!' Aaron answered, and my eyes went up to look at him again. His hands were tightly gripping the balcony railings on the second floor, and if I was right, he was preparing to jump. Bloody hell! I abruptly turned my body around, which caused everyone to stop talking as I stomped out of the training quadrangle towards the packhouse. "Janna!" Pearl called after me before I heard running steps approaching. "Hey! We're not done for today. Are you okay?" She asked as she walked beside me. I nodded and tilted my head to look at her, sm
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
