Jax’s POV:The look I give Tonya and Ben is enough for them to get out of my way as fast as they possibly can. I’m not done with them, but right now, my attention is way more focused on Amelia, who’s currently squealing from me, putting her over my shoulder.The moment I heard she had disappeared out of her room, I nearly went in insane, imagining all kinds of scenarios that could have happened to her. Did anyone break through our defence without us realising? Was she abducted in her sleep? How was it possible Ben and Tonya didn’t catch on to anything? They both belong to my best trained warriors, that's why I set them up to watch over Amelia. How on earth could they not hear or notice anything?It wasn’t until Amelia didn’t open up her door for breakfast that they even realised she was gone. Something about the entire situation was off. It wasn’t until Amelia shut me out that I realised she hadn’t been abducted, but something was definitely wrong. Something she's keeping secret from m
I feel Jax tense up. His grip on me tightens as soon as the words have left my mouth. How much can I tell him without giving Emily away? But knowing the worry he was in, it wouldn’t be fair to keep him totally in the dark. Or do this another time to him. Because going to that other pack would mean sneaking out and worrying him again.Still feeling breathless from the amazing sex we had and not wanting to ruin the moment totally, I snuggle further into him first, touch his face softly, caress his cheek and I feel him relax a little under my touch while pressing his face further into my palm.The way he reacted about me sneaking out is far from what I had expected. If this is his reaction to me going against his rules, I should definitely go against his rules way more often. Instead of the huge argument I was expecting, I got overwhelmed by his pure animalistic passion and need for me. Never could I have imagined him getting turned on by me standing up to him. Every inch of my body got
Stepping closer, Jax growls loudly at Tonya and Ben for letting me anywhere near this place. “What the hell are you doing here? Get away from here.” He growls angrily at me through the mind link. It’s not just a normal growl, but his full Alpha power swinging with it. No mate empathy with it, but pure rage. I should probably flinch at it, but I don’t. This is him as an Alpha right now, not as my mate.Instead of obeying his orders, I step further ahead and take the hood down, which was covering my hair. Giving my full appearance away to anyone around us. Giving away my identity to those who hadn’t fully recognised me yet.“Amelia, love. Come here,” Drake orders, oblivious to me being here on my own free will.“Amelia, stay the fuck away,” Jax orders sternly the total opposite, while now fixating his eyes on his enemy. Waiting to see when realisation will strike him. In this moment, I feel like I'm nothing else but a pawn in a war game, between two enemies.All wolves around us have fa
“Worthless mutt,” Alana curses at me while taking her final jump to attack me.Clothes tare and get scattered all around me. A loud, terrified, and pain filled howl fills the air as my fangs hold on to the torn off front leg from Alana. My shift happened so fast. She didn’t even see it coming. Within split seconds after shifting, I had torn her leg off before she was even able to land on top of me despite being able to comprehend it.Disgusted, I spit the leg out to the filthy ground where it belongs. Blood is staining my white fur and is still dripping from my descended fangs as I turn to her. “Fuck you, bitch. Let’s see how worthless you’ll become now, as a warrior with only three legs. You better get out of my way, before you have even less legs left,” I firmly spit at her, feeling some sort of satisfaction for the deep betrayal I still feel. With pure terror in her eyes she whimpers and cries, starts curling around upon the ground. Her body automatically shifts back to her human
“This is far from done,” Drake’s words echo in my head, and I know I just opened the box of Pandora. This is far from good. Maybe if I had stayed away, things would have calmed down, but now I just gave him every reason to come for us. Added fuel to house that was already on fire.Yet I feel triumphant in this very moment. For a short moment, I was able to defeat him, and I’m not done with this yet. He still seems to think I’m the naïve girl hanging on to the words leaving his mouth, believing in everything he tells me. Underestimating me, my knowledge, and the power I’m just about to learn about.To say he was shocked to see me shift would be an understatement. Each and every one of them, including myself, never thought I would be able to shift. Perhaps Emily was right. That spell on me kept my abilities down. I definitely want to learn more about them, discover them and myself in a totally new way. The thought of having abilities gives me some sort of reassurance I’ve never felt bef
Actually, seeing the blood pooling from me now seems to have an exhausting effect on my body. It’s as if it’s just realising I was actually injured, too. Until that point, I only felt a slight sting and thought the blood on my fur solely came from others. Suddenly feeling all drained, as if all power has left my body, my knees feel weak and give in, causing me to nearly crash to the ground. Jax’s strong arms prevent it just on time and scoop me up into his arms.“Amelia, stay with me,” he whispers worriedly as I start feeling slightly dizzy.“I just feel a little exhausted. I’m ok,” I tell him, holding my hand up to his face to calm him while leaning my head against his warm, strong, and comforting chest, which is energizing to me. Breathing in deeply, I enjoy his very own strong masculine scent. I have no idea how feeling his skin against mine and the mere scent of him can turn me on in this situation, but the fact is, it does. No matter how weak I felt only moments ago, this blows it
Rounding the corner, I gasp at the sight in front of us. Jax pushes me immediately protective behind him.“Keep her safe,” he orders towards the others, and lets go of me.Holding on to his arm, trying to keep him here, I speak up. “No, don’t go, Jax. Stay here,” I plead with him, while my eyes dart back and forth between him and the building where my apartment is in.“I need to find out what’s going on. Please, just for once, listen to me,” he cups my face, making me look up at him. Gulping hard, I simply nod. “Tonya, Ben, bring her to my place and keep her safe. Jenny and Freddie, could you guide them too? I need as much safety as possible for her, and I want her away from here as fast as possible. But I need some people here too.”“Of course," Jenny and Freddie reply in unison. Everyone is on edge again. I watch Jax take off towards the building, together with Alex and the two guards. All the windows have been thrown in. It seems like my entire belongings have been tossed out of th
The tugging at the door gets stronger, and loud banging echoes through the entire apartment. “For fucks sake, someone open the door,” Jax calls out loudly from behind it causing me to nearly jump.Tonya jumps to her feet and rushes to the door opening it for Jax. Next to punching in the security system, Tonya had secured the door with two massive deadbolts across the door, which is now preventing Jax from being able to enter.“Why the heck, did you do that?” Jax questions angrily as soon as she has let him in. “I thought you wanted her in total safety,” she throws back at him, with her arms crossed over her chest. “I made sure absolutely no one could come in after checking the apartment.” She’s glaring at him now, her voice emphasising on "no one."Running his hands across his face, looking totally drained, he simply replies, "fine. Well done.”Entering the living room area fully, he comes in fast strides up to me, sits down onto the couch, grabbing me by the waist, he lifts me onto h
Hi everyone, I haven't forgotten this book.Covid just has been a real b*tch. While I thought I was getting better finally after 2 weeks of Covid, it suddenly spiralled down a lot again. Seems like my other ilnesses have made me very vulnerable. Even if this is my 4th time with Covid, it hit me nearly as bad as the 1st time.Currently, the high dose of cortisone and some oxygen are starting to help. The fever also has come down again. So I will try updating very soon.We're so close to the end of this story, and I feel really bad about not being able to update for so long decently. I hope you understand. Lots of love Jackie♡♡♡♡
My eyes still linger on Jax’s distraught face. Fear of what might have happened to Sybil and Emily or any of the others is nagging at me. But with the knock interrupting us, I know I’m not getting my answer from him right now. I huff slightly in annoyance.“Come in,” Jax calls out. I’m surprised that whoever is there even waited to be called in. Usually there’s only a short knock, and the people enter.Balloons, a huge amount of floating balloons attached to a string, get pushed through the opening door, covering everything behind it. I move left and right, trying to get a glimps of who this might be before the balloons finally move aside and give the view free to my best friends entering the room. Upfront is Ben with the balloons, then comes Tonya with a huge bunch of flowers, followed by Jenny with a tray of cupcakes, and Freddie holds a small teddy bear with "get well" on it. The last one to enter is Alex, holding a huge box of fancy looking chocolates in his hand, giving me the bri
Amelia’s POV:I wake up in an unfamiliar, dark room, but the smell of wounds and disinfectant biting within my nose tells me exactly where I am. I’m obviously at a hospital. Memories come flashing in on me. “Jax!” I sit up abruptly, with my heart thudding violently in my chest. I start throwing the blanket from my body. Panicked, I try to get out of bed until a voice and a hand pressed against my shoulder stop me, and the hand presses me right back into place.“I’m here. I'm here, my love,” I hear his sleepy, deep, and husky voice. “You need to stay in bed.”Without saying another word, I throw my arms around his neck and sob hard against his chest. “I thought……. I thought….I lost you. I thought you were dying,” I cry in relief and pain at the same time. The mere thought of losing him has me totally shook up and causes a pain in my chest, literally taking my breath away. My fingers dig stronger into his back, and I pull him harder into me, making sure he’s really here and not just an
Jax’s POVI feel warmth and power flooding my aching body, relieving the pain and soothing all my senses. Taking deep breaths, my lungs finally expand and fill with air again decently. I was sure I was suffocating only moments ago, I was sure this was it, that I was dying. But then I could feel her, I could feel her love, her power, her body pressed to mine, pulling me out of the dark place I was captivated in. She’s the sole reason the pain is gone, and I’m able to breathe again.Amelia! Without having opened my eyes, I can feel something is terribly wrong. I stir and try my hardest to pry my eyes open. “Amelia!” I choke out and shake her limp body, which is still wrapped around me. “Amelia, wake up!” Nothing happens. It’s then that I notice all the others around us, at least a part of us.Memories of what happened crash in on me, and I remember being buried alive and a sheer amount of bricks coming down after an explosion. By the distraught look on the other faces, I know the situati
“Jax! Jax! Jax!” I call out repeatedly, verbally but also through our mind link, feeling like I'm going out of my mind.No reaction. I can’t even feel him trying to connect with me in return. All I can feel is pain and cold. With Ben and Alex hot on my tracks, I pace through the chaotic state within the arena as fast as possible. I don’t even take much notice of what Emily and Sybil are doing right now.“Amelia!” I feel a little relief seeing Tristan limping towards me. But my heart drops the moment I realise there’s no Jax at his side. They were together. Jax should be with Tristan.“Where is he? Where is Jax?” I question panicked as soon as I reach Tristan.“He…… I…….. He saved my life,” Tristan chokes out, but his words just make me even more nervous. “Then, where is he?” Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely relieved that Tristan is alive and Jax saved him. But my guts twist into knots, seeing that Jax isn’t here next to him.“He…. He pushed me aside just on time before the bricks c
“The Gold moon Alpha is gone,” one of the warriors calls out, realising the same as I did moments ago.Jax pushes me further behind him. His eyes are scanning the entire place. The longer he’s scanning it, the more I feel him tense. We all know it’s a very bad sign. Drake steps towards Alana and shakes her, seemingly trying to get her back to normal, but I doubt he’s able to shake the possession out of her. Watching him act with her, I wonder if he loves her. If he ever truly loved her? There definitely has been more between them, but it doesn’t look like he cares in the same way for her as she did for him. I can see that now. They were both hungry for power and traded their mate bond for it. From what I know now, Tiffany did the exact same thing. She rejected her weak mate because he wasn’t good enough for her. Instead, she wanted the powerful Alpha with his pack. Drake and Alana both wanted my power. They somehow knew about it.My grip tightens on Jax. For nothing in the world woul
I’m startled by the loud roaring voice echoing through the arena. Jax, next to me, still seems to be searching for the source of the voice, while I am staring at the man causing it. He may be in his early fifties. I know I’ve seen that face from far off on some of Drake’s events. Even if I wouldn’t know him, the facial features are a dead giveaway of who he is.“This gathering is against any agreement we made,” he bellows across the arena angrily at Jax. “You declared an open war to me by dropping my daughter. This is your last chance to rectify the situation. Send that worthless mutt away. Banish her from all pack grounds, make her the rogue she truly is, and I will reconsider a war with you,” the Alpha of the Gold moon pack demands.The crowd, that had been cheering moments ago, now turns silent, looking back and forth between Jax and the Gold moon Alpha, waiting for what is to come next. Jax’s grip tightens on me.“I am sorry if I hurt your and your daughters pride. It was never my
Hi everyone, I had intended on finishing this story this year. Unfortunately, a lot has happened the last couple of weeks.My health has been quite bad. The surgery on my dog has taken a toll and a lot of time, as we've been spending every second at the vet for 3,5 weeks now. Last week, her stitches burst open again. Which needed further treatment. And when things go wrong, they totally go wrong. My electrical wheelchair device totally broke down, too. All of it is taking a toll on my health and is taking a lot of time. My head hasn't really been in the right place to write.As Christmas is also coming, I ofc also have those preparations, which are even more difficult with my broke down wheelchair. So I hope you'll understand that I need to take a little time off. The next update will come on January 1st. To those of you who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a happy and healthy Christmas time.But ofc to all of you others too, have an amazing time. Thanks for your patience. And if y
Jax’s POVI called in an urgent gathering. Most of my people have already met Amelia. The most important ones were at the safe house. But the situation has changed since. At that time, things were still a mess, but now we’re engaged, and she’s officially the future Luna to this pack.Amelia walks up and down the hall nervously, tugging at her clothes. She’s wearing a dark blue pencil dress, Tonya has picked for her. Making her look like a businesswoman. “Do you think they will hate me? I mean, they all knew about Tiffany. I don’t have all that money she can provide or the power of the pack……” she trails off while fidgeting with her fingers.A soft chuckle escapes my lips. “Are you serious right now?”She looks surprised up at my tiny outburst, unable to understand why I think this is funny. I take her hands in mine and gently caress the ring she just had been fidgeting around on. “Amelia, you have more power than any of us. You are the true werewolf queen, the true Luna to all of us.
