Jake~

The moon is very bright tonight, don’t you think?

I stood by the window, watching as the moon shone brightly on the rest of us. A sigh escaped my lips when I didn’t get a reply from my wolf.

By this time tomorrow, the pack Alpha would have been declared and finally we would get to know who survived and who didn’t. Surprisingly I was supposed to feel fearful at least. I was going against the most powerful man in the pack. I was going against my father but no. Instead I felt peace. Maybe because I know I would finally be able to get revenge for my mothers death. In any case, I am ready for whatever the next day has to offer.

The door creaked slightly, alerting me of the presence of another in the room. Heavy footsteps marched towards me, the scent of Lemon and wet wood filled my nostrils.

“Tomorrow’s the big day.” He says quietly as I stepped aside, allowing him space.

“I know.”

I felt his gaze heavy on me but he didn’t speak. “How do you feel?” He asked after some few minutes.

  • My stepmom is my Mate?    Chapter 8

    Elena~Eyes shot open. Air filling my lungs immediately and I gasped out. My body ached from all angle, my skin felt sticky with sweat or maybe something else. I felt hot yet cold at the same time. My head felt ten times fuller. Something wasn’t right with me but I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong. I groaned, trying to sit up only to fall back on the bed. “Maybe you should lay down for some few minutes before trying again, your body has been through major changes.” Someone said. “Thank you.” I whispered to no one, taking the person’s advice and laid down. Only after some few seconds did I realize no one was in the room with me. I was alone.Okay, what the fuck?I jolted up, snapping my head towards the door and window. Maybe there was someone speaking from there.“Easy there, tiger. You might as well unscrew your neck. I’m in your head or is it heart? Maybe mind..” I scrambled up from the bed, falling with a thud to the floor. “W-what’s going on?” I say out loud, looking ar

  • My stepmom is my Mate?    Chapter 9

    Elena~“William’s is dead”I stood there, gaping openly as I assimilated the words that just left his lips. Williams is dead. The tyrant that believes he’s on top of the world is dead. He is now six feet under and hopefully rotting away like the piece of garbage that he is.A chuckle escaped my lips. Jake cocked an eyebrow, lips palmed into a thin line.“I’m sorry, it’s just..it’s funny.” I say but he didn’t look impressed. I groaned internally, rolling my eyes.“So William’s is dead now?” I asked again and he nodded, taking a sit on the chair.“Why did you think I’ll know about that? I’ve been in that room struggling for my life.” I snapped. I probably shouldn’t but I suddenly felt pissed.He leaned against the chair, eyes raking my build. “Stop.” I voiced out. His eyes widened slightly. “What?”"Stop looking at me like that. I don’t like it.” I stated flatly. He paused again, looking at me intently and rolled his eyes.“So are we going to address this?” I asked when he wouldn’t tal

    Elena~“What?” I didn’t know what to say, I sat there listening to everything his uncle was saying but I couldn’t get the 3 months out of my head. I have to be here for three whole months? Jake kept trying to get other alternatives but his uncle explained that was the only solution except he wants me to die? “Why do I have to be the one to die when he imprinted?” I voiced out after some few minutes.“So you’re saying I should be the one to die?” Jake asked, voice rough with brewing anger. He’s doesn’t have the right to be angry if he did this. I rolled my eyes, wrapping my hands over my chest “Well, I’m not the one who imprinted, am I?” I shot back in annoyance. I should be reasonable, I know that but I can’t. The thought of not going back to my pack and finding out everything I need is biting me harsh.Jake huffed out, pinching the bridge of his nose “You’re so damn annoying. You think I wanted to imprint? Maybe if you hadn’t fallen into my arms then I wouldn’t have, besides it’s

    Elena~She’s here..I’ve avoided stepping out the room and just staying indoors just because I wouldn’t want to be a part of whether they had going on. No one had come up to call me and I was grateful for it. It wasn’t like I was needed out there anyways but still. 'Are you happy?’ I sat up almost immediately I heard her voice, I haven’t heard from Amber since the day before and I didn’t need a physic to tell me exactly why. “I’m sorry.”“I asked if you’re happy with this. This barrier that you’ve kept between you and our mate. I’ve tried to understand you doing what you did and I haven’t been able to. It seems like you’re just selfish and I don’t want to think like that.” I could hear the hurt in her voice as she spoke, it felt a a punch to my gut.Where exactly should I start? There was just a lot of issues that wouldn’t make me want to be his mate. There were too many issues that I can’t look past.“I’m sorry, I know how much this must have hurt you and I promise it isn’t my inte

    Elena~I sighed internally, wrapping my arms around his shoulder, pulling him much closer to me. His lips, warm and soft, slotted against mine. I opened my mouth, allowing him access into my mouth, his grip tightened around my waist as he sucked on my lower lip. A moan involuntarily escaped my lips. The kiss was everything and more. “Jake?” Someone voiced out, immediately pulling back from the Alpha. His gaze was upon me, lips red and swollen from kissing.“Jake?” The person called out again, footsteps walking towards our direction. I shifted back a bit, why? I had no idea. It was obvious he wanted this as much as I do. I looked behind him to see Lola walking toward us, rubbing her eyes sleepily. I fought the urge to roll my eyes.“You? What are you doing here?” She asked, catching up to us, her eyes going back and forth between Jake and I. Anyone with a working brain would sense the weird tension between Jake and I.“Why are you here?” She asked again and I rolled my eyes.“Why are

    Elena~Being able to change into my wolf has to be the most exhilarating thing ever. I could feel blood rushing through my veins, turning to see Dario saying at me. He titled his head sideways, letting me know we should get along. He gave me the starting lead and I ran, enjoying feeling the freedom and air grazing through my fur. It felt fulfilling, I turned to see Dario running after me and I fastened my pace, soon arriving at the lake he told me. He caught up to me in no time, kicking me over and sending me down, tumbling through the grass.~~~~~~I changed back into my human self just as he did, allowing myself a moment to breathe because everything still felt strange but in a good way."How do you feel?” He asked, staring at the sky. I let out a sigh, a smile tugging on my lips.“Really good. I feel too good.” I replied, even I could feel the smile on my voice, the Excitement and happiness buried in my voice.He turned to look at me, looking eyes with mine. I opened my mouth to t

    ElenaI stood there, frozen as I watched him smile, laughing and shaking hands with Jake. I felt a knot rise up in my throat on seeing how familiar he seemed with Jake and the pack?It took a minute to snap out of the haze I was in, I had to understand what the hell was going on. Alpha Jason has a lot to account for. A lot to explain to me because it’s his fault I’m here in the first place.I stood at the corner, watching him being all smiles with the beta and gamma. He looked just as righteous as I’ve always thought he was. How wrong! I might not have heard the full explanation but standing right in front of my eyes, he stood there and not once has he looked around, searching for the girl that was basically kidnapped to the pack here. Instead he stood there in his full pack regalia, smile widely on display, speaking to the beta.I felt bitterness crawl up my throat as I stared at him. How fucking naive of me to have even thought this man had good intentions for the pack.I attempted t

  • My stepmom is my Mate?    Chapter 15

    Elena~I watched from the side as Jake and the beta conversed. I sighed deeply, averting my gaze from him. It’s been about a month and a week that I was forced here, it’s been about two and a half weeks since Jake and I sat here and decided he would reject me. It’s been about that same time since our bond has been formed. Yes, we haven’t mated but the imprint. The imprint is only growing stronger by the minute. I could feel any heavy emotion Jake goes through and I just realized that now.Sitting down here, watching him pace around as he spoke to the beta about something I don’t know but could tell had already made him feel so unsettled, I felt a light rush of despair rush through the bond and just then did I realize the gravity of this. Just then did I realize how true it is that we are mates and the moon goddess really did put us together. If I was feeling the despair this light then for him, it had to be really bad.I couldn’t help but wonder what exactly the beta was telling him.

  • My stepmom is my Mate?    Epilogue

    Epilogue ~One year after.The sun seemed exceptionally bright today. I shifted uncomfortably, sweat beads formed on my forehead, I lifted my arm, wiping my forehead rather awkwardly. A groan escaped me and I stopped, allowing the damaged weed fall from my hand. I straightened my back, wincing slowly on hearing the cracks. “Come inside now, your skin looks too red already.” A familiar voice says behind me. I palmed my lips into a thin line, groaning slightly as I stood up, my knees cracked painfully hard. Okay, maybe I’ve been kneeling down here, uprooting these damn weeds for way too long.“You know, we have a gardener that can do this. It’s literally his job description.” Vanessa says, eyeing my body, her nose scrunched slightly in annoyance. “You know, gardening is good to let out all these stress you’re carrying. Maybe you should join me tomorrow. I still have to clear that part.” I gestured at the other part of the garden that’s still undone. I glanced at Vanessa who was gazi

    Elena~Here I was standing in what I would call Jason’s secret. Thousand of boxes were piled against each other. Mitchell had told me about this early this morning , she said her father would always go behind the pack house and I connected it with what I read in the book. I was able to tell Jake about the book Mitchell gave me but he didn’t seem that bothered about it but did tell me to keep the book and that everything would be sorted today. I decided to trail down this path when Jason and Jake got busy but not before telling Jake where I was going to. I still had no idea what Jake was planning but with how confident he seemed. I knew everything would be sorted soon. I heaved deeply, looking at the thousands of boxes stacked inside the boy’s quarters. There were thousand and this is where Jason was keeping it. Keeping them. This is it. What was written in the book is here. I rushed to the boxes piled against each other, immediately carrying one of it down, it was exceptionally heav

    Elena~Here I was, sat between Mitchell and Jake. Alpha Jason and the Luna were also sitting, watching the maid dish the food.“How long do you plan on staying?” The Luna asked, gesturing at the maid to stop dishing her food. I furrowed my eyebrows at her question, remembering Mitchell’s had said to not stay long.“A couple of days at most and we’ll be out of your hair.” Jake says, chuckling slightly “You’re welcome to stay as long as you want, Jake. After all your father, the late Alpha Williams was a close friend of mine. Isn’t that right, darling?” Jason said, eyes stuck on his mate, emphasizing on the words a little too intently.I didn’t miss how she flinched even though she tried hard not too. A smile quickly masking her face “Of course, they’re welcome to stay as long as they want.” She replied, voice curt and sharp.“Haha…Thank you for your hospitality but we won’t be able to take much of your time as I also have a pack to run.” Jake says and Jason laughed.“Of course, I und

    Elena ~“Welcome back, Elena.” Alpha Jason, Luna and their daughter stood right outside the pack house to welcome us. The alpha had the biggest smile on his face. He had a full regalia on while his wife was dressed in the traditional Luna outfit, they both seemed very different from how they were. His gaze fell on me, taking every inch of my appearance. “Thank you , Alpha Jason for welcoming us into your humble abode so nicely.” Jake says, interrupting the weird look Jason was giving me. Well, it wasn’t that weird but having him smile like he didn’t just trade my life made me squirm uncomfortably. Watching him and his mate look at me like I wasn’t traded cheaply only stirred up something bitter in me.“Please come in, I’m sure you’re both tired and need to rest.” The Luna says, hand grazing my arm lightly as we walked into the pack house, like I said, things have become very different here.The pack house for one was looking more nicer? It wasn’t like this months back but now, it l

    Elena~“Are you ready?” Jake asked. I finished zipping my bag, standing up properly. “Yeah, I am.” I replied, watching as his eyes darted around.“You still haven’t told me what your plan is. I don’t think showing up in the Crystal pack without a plan is actually smart.” I say and he nodded, walking towards me with a smile on his face.“You trust me, right?” He asked like I wouldn’t bare my neck to him and let him do as he please without second guessing it.“Of course.” He palmed his lips into a thin line, bringing his hand up to caress my cheek “just trust me, we have to finish up what this is with Jason and the only way we can get into his territory right now is pretend like we are still friends with him. For that, I’ll need you by my side.” He says. That’s the only thing I’ve been able to understand in this whole thing. He hasn’t slipped out about the plan. All I know is that he’s been pretty secretive about it. Of. Course, I know it isn’t about him not trusting me but perhaps it’

    Elena~Three months after…“Elena! Elena!” Someone called out my name. I placed the watering can on the floor, removing the hat on my head as I turned to see who was calling out my name. A smile graced my lips as soon as I got a whiff of the tiny footsteps rushing my way.“Careful, you might fall.” I say just as the child reached me, hugging my legs tightly. I giggled, kneeling to hug her.“What’s wrong bey? Shouldn’t you be with Lily?” I asked the child, placing my fingers under her chin, tilting her head upwards slightly to meet my eyes.“She’s being rude and won’t share her plushie with me.” She pouted and I smiled. “Now, why won’t she share her plushie with you? What did you do wrong?“ I asked, the sharp glint in her eyes telling me she had done something.“Beatrice!” Someone yelled agitatedly. I pursed my lips into a thin line on perceiving the scent of an anxious person.“Oh, thank the goddess.” The woman who had been calling out to the child said, slapping her forehead slightl

    Elena~Tired.That’s exactly how I felt, waking up in the morning, I felt tired to my bones. The effect of the past two days was telling on my body. I haven’t had a moment to take a break and just rest. “Hey.” Jake whispered next to me. I turned to see him already staring at me, a soft smile made it’s way to his lips. “Hey” I whispered back, locking eyes with him. Our moment was broken when someone knocked on the door.I watched Jake stand up, draping a robe around his body and walked to the door, I couldn’t hear what he was saying nor could I see who interrupted us but it seemed like they came to tell him something.I sat up when he shut the door behind him “What’s wrong?” I asked and he shook his head.“Vanessa asked to see Matthew and Raquel, everyone is downstairs now and waiting for us.” He tells me. I hurried out of bed, rushing to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Vanessa seeing Matthew is definitely not going to be good, especially if Raquel is there. I still remember the cr

    Elena~(This chapter is just between Vanessa and Elena.)A loud shriek had me running from where I stood and to Vanessa’s room. I pushed the door open to see Vanessa sobbing loudly, thrashing around even as Darla tried to hold her down.I looked at Darla who was also crying, trying to hold Vanessa down as she thrashed around.“Vanessa.” I whispered, making my way to her. I climbed the bed, pulling her tightly to me.“My baby, not my baby. Not my baby.” She cried out, eyes red and leaking tears, nose snotty. She gripped my sleeve tightly, looking me deeply in the eyes.“E-Elena.” She croaked out sobbing loudly. My heart broke into a thousand pieces watching her cry her heart out. I swallowed the lump in my throat and hugged her. She held unto my shoulder tightly, crying so hard.“My baby. I want my baby. I- I want my baby.” She choked out, crying the more. My throat tighten as I glanced at Darla who was also crying.She hasn’t even heard of what Mathew and Raquel did. “You need to cal

    Elena~I pushed the door open, stepping into the room. Jake stood by the window, gazing outside. I stood there for some minutes, watching him sigh.“Hey.” I whispered, walking closer to him. He turned to look at me, a sad small smile making its way to his lips. “Hey.” He replied, stretching his arms apart.“How are you?” I asked. He went quiet, gazing back outside. I didn’t think he was going to reply me anymore. I sighed, wrapping my arms around his waist.“To be honest, I don’t know how I feel. I’m conflicted.” He says honestly and I hummed, waiting for him to speak the more.“There is Vanessa whose life has suddenly changed from having a mate to not having one. I’ve not been close to Vanessa, I mean, I wasn’t that close to Matthew either but she’s always been there, smiling happily, giggling. She has this aura of comfort that radiates through her, making me feel comforted whenever I’m around her. She’s good like that. I’ve not had the opportunity to really get to know her but from
