JENNAI thought Kristina would leave me hanging the moment she got rid of Elizabeth. Cause there is no way she was actually being nice to me because she was nice.Yes, it has been seven years. But she bullied me for more than ten years. Forgive me if I don’t easily believe she has had a change of heart.She took me to her room. We didn’t really have a conversation. But she told me about all the good things the old luna used to say about me before she died.That even the morning of the accident. She’d assured them that I would be back, and they should always remember her words when I do.Weirdly, I didn’t feel anything when I felt the emotions take over me. I let the grief take hold and I cried. We cried together and it was the most we’ve ever bonded.My suitcases were already in the room when we went there. She’d jokingly asked if I could still remember the way.How could I forget? I had the best memories there.And it was opposite Jason’s bedroom. I know he is in the alpha’s room now
JENNA“What is the meaning of this, Jenna?”My mouth dries up. All the things I practiced telling him flew out the window and it felt like my brain had deserted me.“Jenna.” He repeats, his voice trembling slightly.I blinked, shaking myself out of the haze I entered.When I finally moved, I snatched the phone out of his hand and locked it. Then I hid it behind my back like that was going to make any difference.It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. It was their sixth birthday, he could see the six clearly written there. And they were pretty much exact replicas of him.“This is the last time I’m going to ask you this. What is that?” He points to the phone, his voice wavering slightly as he stutters.I breathed in and pout. Then I told myself this just made telling him easier. I’d been worried and thinking of how to start the conversation. He saved me the trouble by snooping around and finding it out.“You were pregnant? Why didn’t you tell me?” He asks.The look in his
JASONI stayed with Jenna until she fell asleep.I wish I could say it was because she seemed broken, and needed the support. But I just wanted to be with her.I’d forgotten what it was like to have her around. To have her in my arms.And God, I’m a father.An actual father with real kids.I didn’t know how to feel about that. To be honest, I don’t think it has already sunk in yet.I’ll need a drink, or five to fully understand that news.Not only do I have a kid—kids, three of them—they were kidnapped. We have no clue who they might be or what they want exactly.Jenna explained everything to me. They hadn’t called, which led them to believe it wasn't money they wanted.I wanted to ask how she was. What she has been doing. But things were already complicated between us. We had too much to talk about and not nearly enough time.Looking down at her sleeping form, I’m taken back to seven years ago, before she left.I knew she was my mate the moment I turned eighteen. My wolf had recognis
JENNAWaking up in my old bedroom made me feel like the past five years were just a crazy dream.I almost thought I was going to wake up to Jason shouting and telling me we’re going to be late for school. Mum will yell that we must eat breakfast first. Dad will grumble about being late to a meeting and she’ll force him to sit and eat.Jason and I will bicker from our rooms right down to the breakfast table, and it won't end there.We get a free pass for being late as the alpha’s kids.At least Jason gets a free pass. I don’t get detention, but I certainly get dirty looks from pupils and teachers alike.Life was much easier then. Simpler. I had my unhealthy crush on him. Only Zeke knew about that, because he’d made me confess. He saw my diary and saw how many hearts I’d doodled with mine and Jason’s name in the middle.He never told him, because I made him promise. And it was our little secret for the longest time.He is the only person that knows what happened between us that drunken
JASON“Holy fucking shit!” Zeke curses, his eyes widening. “The one day I go to bed early. I wake up and you’re a father?”I shot my oldest friend a dirty look, but he only laughed at my expense.“This is fucking golden man.” He throws his head back, laughing.“I’m glad you find it fucking hilarious.”“Erm, it is fucking hilarious.” He laughs some more. “What did you think would happen after fucking without a condom man? At least Jen’s cute.”He rolls his eyes when I give him a look. “What? She is safe. You know I’m taken.”He waves to his mark, which he has been showing off to anyone who cared to listen.Zeke is a fucking idiot.We grew up together. It was always Jason, Jenna and Zeke. And after she left, it was just the two of us.When he’d heard she was back, he wanted to head up to her room so he would give her shit for leaving. I forced him to stay back. I knew she was still sleeping and after the day she had yesterday, she needed all the rest she could get.“I really can’t belie
JENNAI was thinking of what to do with myself, and how to face Jason this morning when I heard a knock on my door. At first, I strayed frozen in place before I got off the bed and went to open the door.After what happened last night with Jason. I’ve learnt to not just let anyone walk in without asking who it is, or getting the door myself.I first opened the door, barely enough to peep outside.“Will you open the door or do I have to climb up the window?”The familiar voice makes me pull the door open with so much force, it is a surprise I didn’t smack myself in the face.Zeke stood in the hall, his hands folded behind him.I run to hug him but he steps aside.“Hey, what’s wrong? Didn’t you miss me?” I asked in a teasing tone.He stares me down, before huffing dramatically and walking into the room.“Okay….”I drawl, following him inside.He is upset and I understand.Jason, him and I, were the unbreakable trio. We were always together. He is the one person I could trust with anythin
JENNAZeke stayed with me for most of the day. Really, we only left the room to get food and then we went back to talking about everything and nothing.I showed him every picture and video I had of my babies. And he was excited.I didn’t cry, which was a plus. When I told him, he laughed and made a joke about how I never used to cry.I shrugged. “Life changes us in the most surprising way.”“I know.” He said, smiling down at a video of Ryan and Nina. He was handing her his game controller after she broke hers.She doesn’t even know how to play the game.“They remind me of us.” He comments and I laugh.“It is a circus watching them, because they are just a replica of us. Some things they do give some whiplash because there is no way that is possible.”“Well, we are seeing that it is.” I nodded and smiled.I was tired of lying down so I stood up and started walking around the room.Zeke kept the tab and started watching me.“What?” I asked, tucking a stand of my dyed hair behind my ear.
JASONThis was the man that found the drunk driver that hit my parents car that night. If he’d stopped and called the ambulance, they would be here with us. But he fled the scene, not even having the decency to call 911 after he got away.It took him all of two days to get everything I needed.An alpha, from a neighboring pack suggested him. He’d worked with him for years and he says he is good.I admit, when I first saw him, I didn’t expect anything to come out of it but he did his job.“You believe there is no reason why someone would want to harm you?”I turned to Jenna and she nodded without hesitation.I don’t doubt her. She is outgoing and a little reckless, but she is a good and kind hearted person.She wouldn’t have survived this pack if she wasn’t that way.No matter how bad they treated her, she would still help them if they needed it.“Your restaurant,” he starts.That made me sit up. The space between my eyebrows creases.I had no idea what he was talking about. Jenna and
