Hi, again. I'm back with more chapters. What do you think of Andrea?
JARED She looked perturbed and could barely look me in the eyes. Despite the fact that she was wearing a mask, she had captivating eyes. They were so many emotions in her eyes. But, the most prominent one was fear. I had my doubts and suspicions about her. Still, she was my mate. I knew I would never be able to reject her. I was merely stalling because I had a feeling that there was so much I didn't know. "What do you want to tell me?" I asked and she blinked. Slowly, she pulled away from me. "I changed my mind. I have nothing to say to you" she said. It was a lie. I didn't need to be a lie detector to know that. "You were in a pretty disoriented state few minutes ago. Why the sudden change of mind?" "The weather is great today, don't you think?" She was smiling now. I stared at her, confused. "Andrea, don't change the topic" "What topic?"She grinned at me and started to walk away and all I could do was stare, flabbergasted. There was no way she was real. If she was real an
ANDREA All eyes fell on me. There were different reactions on their faces. I had the strong urge to disappear into thin air and never return. The visitor had stopped crying and was staring at me with eyes that pinned accusation on me.The tension in the air doubled and I parted my lips to say something, especially when I saw the curiosity in Jared's eyes. The last thing I wanted was for my mate to have more reasons to doubt me. But, before I could speak, someone beat me to it."Hey! Are you talking about that tiny young lady standing there? I think you've got the wrong person. She is Beta Jared's mate. She doesn't seem to be the type that can hurt a fly. Kill another person? I don't think so. You've got the wrong person" the young man who had just spoken was familiar. He was leaning by the gate, arms folded across his chest. He had bright yellow eyes and brown curls with an undercut hair style. I recognized him to be the guy who had first questioned me back in the woods with some sco
JARED "Claim me, Jared" Andrea's pleading gaze tugged at the strings of my heart. I was at a loss of what to do. Claiming her would mean that I would throw all caution to the wind and make her an official pack member without knowing anything about her true intentions. On the other hand, if I kept stalling, it would make her feel as though she was unwanted.She had once told me that she'd left her former pack in hopes of a fresh start. Opal, my wolf was urging me to claim and mark her. But, my instincts as the Beta of the pack was pointing at how suspicious she appeared to be. "You're not going to give me an answer? Why? Do you think you will regret it?" Andrea asked me. I moved closer to her until there was barely any space between us. "Then, look into my eyes and tell me that you're not hiding anything from me. Look into my eyes and tell me that I can trust you" I said and she looked away from me. I grabbed her hand, pulling her flush against me. She let out a gasp, still refusing
ANDREA "He doesn't want to claim me" I sighed, lowering my cutleries onto the table. Rylee reached out for me and gave my hand a little squeeze. "Just give him a little more time." She said, her voice soft. I lowered my head, my shoulders slumped. "For how long do I have to wait? He clearly values his duties as a beta. I don't think he even wants me" I mumbled. "Hey! Don't say that. He's not made of bricks. Besides, the bond pull will only get stronger until he can't resist it anymore" "There's always a way out of that. He can reject me, you know?" I rasped. The rage I had felt earlier was gone and in it's place was the dispiriting feeling that shattered my self esteem and enlarged my doubts. "Is your secret terrible? Is it a game changer? One that can shatter your chances to be with Jared?" Ava questioned, a worried look in her eyes. I closed my eyes. I wanted to dissipate into thin air. I wanted to erase my existence. If my hopes had been dashed, what was left for me? Letting
VINCENT Everyone stared at me with a bewildered expression on their faces. I didn't want to accept the fact that what I had just felt was vile demonic energy, but I couldn't deny it. The moment I had sensed it, my temperature had taken a dive and I'd felt like I had just been sucker punched. It had caught me unawares. "Are you sure you're alright?" Rylee asked, peering at my face. I took her free hand and gave it a squeeze. "I'm alright." I responded.She let out a breathy sigh and rubbed her forehead. "I have a bad feeling about this. This can't be good. What demon would come after us? We got rid of Killian and the demon in him. Why is this happening now? It's been years since anything of this sort happened" she said. "A demon was once after this pack?" Andrea asked, a worried look in her eyes. "Yes. But, it was years ago." Jared stated. "Surely, you guys don't think this demon presence or aura has anything to do with me, right?" She pressed further. Her eyes were glassy and sh
ANDREA My hands were trembling and my heart was racing. I staggered backwards, away from the door. "No, it wasn't me. It can't be me. I smell of roses but it wasn't me. Why would I hurt him?" I mumbled. As soon as I turned away, I heard Alpha Vincent's commanding voice. "Andrea, stop right there."He was an Alpha and there was no way I could defy his command. No matter how much I desired to run, my limbs wouldn't move. At the sound of his approaching footsteps, I squeezed my eyes shut, my heart feeling like it was going to explode."Look at me" he ordered and I opened my eyes. His face held no emotion and his stare was a blank one. In this state, he was more intimidating. His eyes began to glow a fiery red and gold. It was in this moment that I started to tremble with fear. Pissing him off was a very big mistake that I wanted to avoid. "What are you doing here?" He asked, his tone icy. I blinked, realizing that I had no answer to his question. None at all. I stared down at mysel
ANDREA Kathryn stared at me with curious eyes that silently urged me to give her answers. I had a feeling that she wouldn't let me be, if I told her what she wanted to hear. Therefore, I lied. "You have been mixing up my identity. I don't know you, neither am I familiar with you. I didn't grow up here in Belmore Town" I told her. She frowned at me. "Really? I could have sworn that..." I gave her a pointed stare and she looked away. "Fine. What town do you come from?" She asked. I was starting to dislike her curiosity. "It's none of your business, Kathryn. Why don't you run along?" I said and her smile faded. "I am deeply offended, Andrea. I was only trying to be nice" she said. "Nice? I don't think so." She glared at me. "Are you being cocky and arrogant because Jared is your mate? Bitch, you haven't even been claimed yet. He can change his mind, you know?" "My relationship with Jared is none of your business. Stay out of it. You should take good care of yourself and your b
RYLEE It was odd. I was usually not the type to dislike a person merely after our first meeting. But, when it came to Kathryn, the reverse was the case. The moment I set my eyes on her, I disliked her. Her snide attitude wasn't helping either. Watching Kathryn chat with Jared put me on edge. She kept leaning towards him with a seductive smile on her face. I was yet to find out what Kathryn's real intention was. Since she was pregnant, she was supposed to be with her mate. Why was she trying to get Jared's attention despite knowing that he had found his mate?"Do you think Vincent has a grudge against me?" Kathryn suddenly asked Jared. I straightened and leaned closer to the window. I was standing in Vincent's office while he was working. Whereas, Jared and Kathryn stood outside, in front of the office. I knew it wasn't right for me to eavesdrop, but I really wanted to know why she thought so."You should ask him. You know he stopped being friendly towards you, a long time ago" Jared

RYLEE I'd always yearned for a family and a home. Returning to the Crystal River Pack is the choice that changed my life and gifted me with everything I wanted. I decided that it was time for a fresh start. "What the hell, Andy. I thought something terrible had happened to you. They suddenly moved us out of the pack house but they wouldn't give us an explanation. Besides, you stopped visiting us. Each time mum asked to see you, they didn't let her," My baby sister said, pouting at me.Mum chuckled."Don't be so dramatic, Jenny. Your sister must have had her reasons" mum said. I embraced her and closed my eyes. "I missed you so much, mum. You don't have to worry. It's all over" I said to her. She sighed and began to stroke my hair. "I missed you too, baby girl" she whispered. "You still have to tell us everything that happened, do you understand?" She said and I hummed in response, a smile tugging at my lips.After spending time with mum and Jenny, I went in search of Jar
ANDREA "Did you really it's going to be that easy? How ridiculous," the stranger said, taking another step towards us. Alpha Vincent silently moved Rylee behind him, his eyes glowing a bright red and gold. It was at this point that I put two and two together. I realized that the stranger was the demon who had tried to steal Rylee's soul energy. He had acquired a new body, it seemed."Hang in there for me, okay?" Jared whispered to me. I nodded feebly, resting my head against his back. It was taking me a lot of energy to keep myself from crashing to the ground. My head hurt too much and I could barely concentrate. "I'll kill you. This time, you won't be able to return," Vincent snarled, his fiery gaze menacing. The demon cackled and goosebumps appeared on my skin. Shivers ran down my spine and fear doubled my heart rate. "You can try. This time you're trapped. The sisters did quite a good job. They fooled you and trapped you.""What the hell do you want from us?!" Ava cried.
ANDREA None of us moved. I stood by the door, rooted to the spot. Jared had gone so still, he was barely breathing. I waited for him to give me a pathetic excuse. I waited for him to try to convince me that what I was seeing wasn't everything. Anger quickly overshadowed me when I realized that he had no intention of bringing up any excuse. It didn't make any sense. He had told me I was everything to him. Was it all a lie?"You have questions, don't you? Don't just stare at us. Go ahead, ask away" Kathryn said. My gaze met Jared's and I tightened my fists until they were pale knuckled. I could see the regret and remorse in his eyes. "Jared, get up" I said through gritted teeth. He didn't move or say anything. Kathryn let out a breathy chuckle, her fingers lightly grazing my mate's bicep. My stomach tightened as I fought the urge to lash out at her. She was taunting me. "Get your hand off him, Kathryn" I hissed. "What? Are you going to bite me?" She drawled, her eyes lit with excitem
ANDREA Groaning softly, I opened my eyes and blinked to clear the haze in my vision. My gaze met Cara's blue ones. She waved a hand in front of my face and clicked her fingers. "Can you see me?" She asked and I opened my mouth to speak. With my face contorted with pain, I brought a hand to my aching throat. It felt as though I'd swallowed grit."Water" I managed to croak with a wince. Someone else started to help me sit up. So, I looked up and saw Rylee's face. She gave me a small smile and helped me lean against the pillows while Cara poured me a glass of water."Thank you" I whispered, accepting the glass of water from her. I took a sip, swallowing as slowly as I could, wincing every few seconds."How are you feeling? Dizzy? Nauseous?" Cara questioned.I lowered the glass of water and blinked, realizing that I wasn't really feeling as terrible as before."I feel weak, that's all" I whispered.Rylee and Cara exchanged glances. Then, they turned to look at me with brilliant smiles
JARED Back and forth, I kept pacing. Jonathan and Cara were attending to Andrea while I waited restlessly. I couldn't shake off the feeling of foreboding that weighed down on me. My hands trembled as my anxiety swelled. Just before Andrea and I had made it to the infirmary, she'd suffered a seizure. It had scared the living daylights out of me. From the look on Jonathan's face when we'd arrived, I knew that Andrea's condition was worrying. Thoughts swam my mind until I thought I would go crazy. Opal was on edge as well. We couldn't stand the idea of Andrea being used and destroyed by the demon. The fact that I was completely powerless was worsening the situation. A feminine cry pierced the air and I turned towards the entrance of the hallway where a woman was being wheeled in on a stretcher. I recognized her to be Kathryn. "Hurry! She's bleeding out!" One of the women cried as they moved her past me. Kathryn had her eyes squeezed shut. With tears and sweat on her face, she c
ANDREA A smile curved my lips when I awakened to the beautiful sight of my mate's sleeping face. My smile widened at the memory of the previous night. Stifling a yawn, I rested my head on Jared's chest and listened to the steady beat of his heart. He stroked my hair and placed his arm around me. "Morning" I whispered. "Morning. How did you sleep?" Jared asked. "Nicely" I said, my cheeks warming. Jared chuckled and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. "As much as I want to stay in bed with you, all day, we have a meeting to attend" He stated, stroking my hair. I raised a brow."We?""That's right.""With Vincent?""We are meeting with Cara, Jonathan's fiancee. She said she wants to talk to us."We both got out of bed and went through our morning routine. I got dressed in a black hoodie and a pair of light blue jeans trousers. We left the house and started to head towards Jonathan's office. At the entrance of the building stood Jonathan and a blue eyed blonde with a pretty smile
ANDREA "Are they coming here, right now?" Jared asked with a calm expression on his face. "They have stepped into the territory. Some of the scouts must have encountered them by now" I told him. Taking my hand in his, he led me into the pack house and took me to Alpha Vincent's office. He knocked twice and pushed the door open. Alpha Vincent was standing by the window, his hands buried in the pockets of his black slacks. His white long sleeved shirt outlined the fact that he was fit. His hair curled up at his nape and disappeared underneath the collar of his shirt. Jared cleared his throat and walked towards him without letting go of my hand "I heard from the scouts that there have been a breach" Alpha Vincent stated, not looking away from the sky. "The shadow assassins are attacking the pack" I said. Slowly, he turned to look at me. He regarded me warily. Then, he spoke. "You mean, they're coming here to try to do what you couldn't do"....The gates burst open and a cou
ANDREA Pain pulsed within my skull and I held a hand to my temple, for a few seconds. Cracking an eye open, I found myself lying on Rylee. With unsteady hands, I pushed my upper body off her, a gasp escaping my lips when I saw the blood stains covering the left side of her face. "Rylee... your face" I breathed, petrified. She moved me off her and sat up. My eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when I saw the ruined material barely covering her torso and chest. Her forearms were stained with blood as well. Letting out a sigh, she rose to her feet and pulled her hair up into a bun. Then, she folded her arms across her chest. "Are you back to your senses now?" She asked and realization sank into me. Horrified, I stumbled backwards, away from her. "I... I... I did this?" I stammered, my eyes brimming with tears. "Not exactly. The demon was trying to kill me. I jammed my elbow into your face and knocked you out" My gaze drifted and fell on the bloodied knife lying on the ground
