JASONAlpha Zade’s pack was about half an hour and Jenna was still sleeping.I knew he would want to get down to business the moment we arrived, which would mean waking her up. And that was the last thing I wanted. So, when we reached the next town. I found a parking lot of a business that hadn't opened for the day as it was still quite early, and I parked there.I actually adjusted her seat so she would be more comfortable. I also noticed that she had her arms wrapped around herself like she was cold.Werewolves could stand very intense temperatures. Though I heard that could be affected after she-wolves give birth. Some said it was just a myth and others said it was true. I didn’t know which to believe. I read her body language and used her wrapped arms around herself as my guide.She was also just wearing a flimsy camisole and my shirt. I should have told her to change before we left. But I didn’t even know about the trip until I went upstairs. And from there, as I always get when
JENNAMy heart hasn’t calmed down since Jason’s comment.He had started the car and drove out of the parking lot without so much as blinking. On the other hand, I couldn’t get my mind or brain to cooperate. Even my heart. They all kept repeating his words, until I felt like I was going to lose my mind.It didn’t help that he’d placed his hand on my thigh and left it there. He had put it there for a reason. I couldn’t remember the reason. Nor could I bring myself to move it, or tell him to move it.The presence there was making me feel like I couldn’t breathe well. I couldn’t clench my thighs also, since he would very well know what I’m doing and why I’m doing it.My brain kept telling me how good it was going to feel. I was seconds away from shaking because of the pulsing between my thighs. Just when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore. The car came to a sudden halt.I jerked forward and almost hit the dashboard, if it wasn’t for Jason’s hand that pushed me backward. His reflexes wer
JASONAlpha Zade has one of the largest packs in America.It was public knowledge.I guess, I never really anticipated what that must be like. Our pack was moderately large. But it seemed like it was three times bigger than ours. And just the amount of security he had was something to be looked at.I heard he turned thirty this year, or maybe a year ago, I wasn’t sure. But he and his mate have been married for a few years. And they are known as the IT power couple. With her being a beta before they met.There was a whole story about how they met. That wasn’t public knowledge. But seeing how they were sickly in love and attuned to each other, I couldn’t help but want the same thing for myself. And knowing I’m never going to have that with Liz assures me that what I’m thinking of doing is the right thing.Alpha Zade’s wife, Feyre, took Jenna’s hand just as we arrived. Mentioning something about showing her around while we got rid of the gritty details. they’ll be back when we get to the
JENNAI felt like I’d known Feyre for years when we started talking. She had taken me to the kitchen where she excitedly baked me cookies. She said she just learnt how to make them and was very happy to do it for anyone.Her sisters’ in law, Ayda and Delilah said she has been crazy since she figured out how to not burn the cookies. It made me laugh. Watching them talk and just be a family was beautiful.I wanted to have a family of my own.After she had baked them, which I had to admit, they were awesome. She said Zade and Jason were done and we could join them for the fun part. I didn’t know what that was but she seemed excited about it.My heart grew ten times bigger when I walked into the office and saw a little cocoon in alpha Zade’s arms. She was sleeping, with her little face relaxed like she was in her happiest place.The first image I had in my head was of Jason and Nina. I had a feeling she was going to be all up in his business. She seemed like a daddy’s girl through and thr
JASON My heart almost burst when I saw how Jenna was looking at Raya. The absolute pure joy in her eyes. I was worried at first, not knowing how it would affect her. But then she smiled, her eyes glistening and it was the most beautiful thing in the world. After they left, the office was quiet for about two minutes before Alpha Zade spoke. Surprisingly. Because even though I didn’t know the man that well, it was obvious he wasn’t the type to talk. “Usually, I wouldn’t ask this but do you have kids?” I laughed when I saw the dreadful look on his face. Like he really didn’t want to ask. More like he was forced to ask. And he probably was, by his wife. “Yes. Three.” My voice sounded choked up so I cleared it. His eyes only widened for a split second before they returned to normal and he cleared his throat. Something flashes in his eyes, like respect or awe. I wasn’t sure which of the two. I didn’t know how to tell him I haven’t seen them yet. He seemed satisfied with the response.
JASONSeeing the man in person, it was clear he had no similarities with Zeke facial wise. Just their build but that's where it ends.He was tied to a chair and his head was lowered. Like he was sleeping or maybe knocked out. One of the two buff men standing by the door comes forward. He slaps the guys awake before going back to his post.The man wakes up startled. He looks up when he sees us and in those few minutes that he was disoriented, I wanted to see the truth.He blinked and tried to move back when he caught sight of Alpha Zade. Looking to the other side. He noticed me and I waited for realization, or a flicker or recognition to pass through his eyes. All I saw was fear. The same fear he had when he’d looked at Alpha Zade.He doesn’t know me. Which doesn’t make sense. How could he have no idea how I was if he was trying to impersonate my beta?Is it that the people that sent him were stupid? Or do they have a different game plan? Or maybe they just didn’t care that what they d
JENNA“They seem to be having too much fun with this.” Feyre commented, seeing how Alpha Zade and Jason were playing the man like a fiddle.I don’t think he even understands they are playing good cop, bad cop. At first I thought he was just acting. Now, I just believe he is slow.Jason has gotten him to tell them he didn’t know any alpha. He wasn’t a full wolf, since his mother was human. Though, we had to hear the full story of how she met his dad, who left her after he found his mate.And then Zade got the full story of why he accepted the job to pretend to be Zeke.“I don’t know them man,” he cried. “They just gave me a bunch of cash. And promised me the car after I’m done.” Tears and snot was running down his face.I pushed the rest of the cookies and my milk after he started crying and peed his pants. Feyre looked like she couldn’t be bothered. Like this was the norm for her.I was impressed. I couldn’t hide it even if I wanted. She was the definition of a badass luna. Everyone w
JASONThere was something extremely good about seeing a woman jealous over you. Especially when that woman is Jenna.I had to hold back the very pleased laugh that was about to escape when I walked out of the dining room. Jenna looked like she was about to stab the girl in the eye with a fork. And I’m a terrible person for wanting to see it happen.She must have held onto her self control, as we weren’t called back after.We’d just reached Alpha Zade’s office when my phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was an unsaved contact. Assuming it was Nana, who had called earlier. I thought maybe she forgot to tell Jenna something, so I picked up the call.I didn’t hear anything on the other end for more than a minute. I was taken aback so I pulled the phone away from my ear to check if the call got disconnected. It didn’t.The hairs on the back of my neck stood immediately. A warning bell rang in my head, telling me this was important.Still, I stayed quiet.Alpha Zade, not hearing me behind
JENNA If someone told me I would be marrying Jason, before I ever told him I loved him. I would have laughed in their face. But I did. I walked down the aisle. In the dress of my dreams if I ever had one and my babies were there. They were the best thing to ever happen to me in the world. They were already warming up to their father. Especially Nina. There was no surprise there as we all knew she would be a daddy’s girl. She has refused to leave her dad’s side. Ryan has stuck to mine. And Kai being the most carefree was already running around. Getting everyone in the pack to fall in love with him. Liz was taken away, along with her father. They were locked in the dungeon until their trial with the werewolf council. They were facing charges of attempted murder and kidnapping. And many other things Jason assured will be found. Alpha Zade mentioned how the council had been trying to get some dirt on Liz’s father. He was manipulative and a terrible person. But he also knew how to ti
JASONI underestimated Liz’s level of craziness. When my phone rang and I saw it was an unknown number, I knew instantly it was her. So I picked.The last thing I expected her to ask for was for me to marry her in exchange for Jenna and my kids’ freedom.Oh, and she isn’t stupid so I’ll have to sign an agreement to waive my rights as their father. She was also adding a no divorce clause.I was eerily calm for some reason.Maybe it was stemming from the fact that I knew I had multiple teams waiting outside of that warehouse. Ready to put her down. I assume she was there with the kids and Jenna too. Just to be safe. Alpha Zade said to hold out till we were sure they were inside.We’ll get them to safety first so there are no mishaps.Aiden was with me. Throughout. With Zeke unreachable as of now.I pretended I was giving into her demands. She had to be here for us to be wed. She wanted the mating ceremony to happen right now too. Because according to her, she wasn’t going to take chance
JENNAI’ll never forget this year in my life.I woke up in the trunk of a car. My hands were bound and tied to my legs and there was a tape over my mouth. Let me not mention the banging in my head.It was like my skull was being hit with a sledgehammer over and over again.A moan rips from my chest but it came out muffled thanks to the tape. I tried moving my legs and hitting the back of the car to gain the attention of whoever was driving.I couldn’t tell if they didn’t hear me or they just chose to ignore me. Seeing the state I was in, I would go with the latter.The drive goes on for a long time. I felt like I was going to die because of how tightly closed this place was and the position I was in was horrible. I would have been fine if they just tied me but kept me in the seat with them.When the car stopped, my heart raced. Both with anticipation of the air I would breathe and worry. Because I have seen just how crazy Liz is. Lord knows how crazier she can get. And we’re probably
JASONAiden bursting into my office saved Liz’s father from my wrath. If it wasn’t for him, I definitely wouldn’t have hesitated to choke the man to death.“Alpha,” he was breathing heavily, looking like he ran a marathon.“What?!” I growled the question out. Pissed off at everyone and everything.And the damned old man has still refused to speak. He was clearly protecting someone. I just didn’t know if it was Liz. But she was his only daughter. So it had to be her.She had never given the indication that she knew about Jenna and the kids. I only recently found out myself and seeing as it was after they were kidnapped. I’d say they found out before me.But how?Jenna was rarely mentioned around the pack. Most of the pope that knew her have left the pack. Now in neighboring packs with their mates. And the younger pack members didn’t know her. Maybe just from stories or here and there.Then their parents. They were the ones that were always with mum when she spoke about Jenna. And after
JENNAI’m woken by the sound of something hitting the wall. A thudding I couldn’t exactly explain.When my eyes first opened, I blinked multiple times and tried to remember where I was and my name. Because the first thing that came to my head was Nana knocking on the door.It didn’t make any sense, seeing as my house had a doorbell. And I had a live-in maid because of the kids. So she would have gotten the door.I was in Jason’s bedroom. And that was all I needed for my memories to come back.Not that it explained the sound I was hearing. I stretched on the bed, raising my hands high above my head.“Sleeping in his clothes, on his bed. The bed he never let me sleep on!” I turned sharply to the direction I heard the voice.Like a psychopath, or some other kind of crazy person. Liz sat at the dresser, her eyes locked on me and her hands pounding on the vanity table.That was the source of the sound I kept hearing. Well, I guess that mystery is solved.“What are you doing here?” I asked,
JASONJenna ended up falling asleep after our conversation. She was tired from the day’s activities.Even though I had Zeke’s new weird behavior. In my mind, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t more focused on what we spoke about.I was about to confess my love to her. To directly tell her that I loved her and I wanted to spend all of eternity with her. Or as long as we had to leave. Though I was disappointed she didn’t let me say it. I later realized it was better that way.I wouldn’t have the engagement hanging over my head when I thought of being with her. I’m going to officially call it off in a few minutes.Now, when I finally tell her, there isn't going to be anything on my conscience. It’ll just be me, her and the kids.Kristina met up with me when I was going down the stairs. It just reminded me of the note I made to myself about talking to her.You could clearly see the effect the whole mate thing with Zeke had on her. And I didn’t for one second believe that it was all norma
JENNASeeing Amaya had to be the most shocking thing. Out of all the things going on. That was not in my game card. I didn’t even know what to think.All of this didn’t make any sense. And the look in Zeke’s eyes. You could very easily tell something was wrong. Majorly wrong.But since we’re not going to show her we’re on to her. I buried the surprise deep down in my heart and offered her a kind smile. Or what I hoped looked like one.“Hey, what a pleasant surprise?” I moved and pulled her into a hug.There was no reason to be mean to her outright. She had been nice to us while we stayed at that resort. The best thing to do is carry on with the way we left off.I felt her visibly relaxed against me. I could almost feel Kristina’s pain radiating off of her in waves. And I mentally apologized to her for doing this. But it is for the greater good.I make sure to mention how great Amaya was to us and how we couldn’t repay her for being kind.“There's so much we have to talk about,” I told
JASONJenna’s words pierced a part of my heart. I know the situation was horrible but I couldn’t help the joy I felt at that.She loved me.That was all I heard in her words. But to be fair, she never said she stopped or she no longer did. She always spoke about how she couldn’t. Not she wouldn’t.And if my engagement is the only thing standing in the way of us being together? Then I’ll get rid of it and remove that obstacle.I’m not going to stand back and watch myself losing her when there is a simple way for us to get what we want. For us to get her!Rex was on board with that. And the excitement of getting her back made me feel much stronger. He was ready to rain hell on whoever was there.We’re getting our kids back, and I’m not waiting another second for it.Watching Jenna’s tear filled eyes, I didn’t know when I pulled her face close to mine and joined our lips.I waited for her to push me away but instead, she kissed me back with equal frenzy.The rest of the world disappeared
JENNAAlpha Zade offered to give us his helicopter to cut our trip short. Jason still wasn’t able to reach anyone in the pack and you could tell how we panicked more.With no idea who it could be that was at the house, and what they knew. It felt like the worst thing ever.The scariest part had been knowing someone that was very close to us was involved in this.“We’ll keep in touch, and if there’s anything you need, please do not hesitate to call.” Alpha Zade had assured us before we left.Jason only made one request.“Can you keep track of the phone and update us?”The man who had brought the news, I’m guessing he is their tech genius, nodded.“Sure alpha,” he said. “I’ll update you about the current location every hour.”That was good enough for us.I was silent throughout. From the drive to the flight to the drive again.My mind was completely blank. I was shaking with fear but I seemed fine outwards. I thought I was going crazy, so much that I was staring at my hands to see if th
