JASONThere is a constant pressure in the back of my head. I feel like I’m being hit in the head many times with a jackhammer. The loud ringing never stops too.Moving my body is a chore in and on its own. But I didn’t give up. My back feels so cramped and I needed to move. I searched for my wolf in my head, wondering why I even felt so weak in the first place. I couldn’t remember the last thing that happened, I just knew that Amaya was here.What the hell happened after that? Where is Jenna? I hope she is not with that damn fake man.The thought of him, whatever the fuck his name is, has me sitting up with a force that shakes my core. I forget about the pain I’m in. Or the fatigue that is making me feel like I can’t even lift a finger.Eyes wide and wild. I looked around the room and was glad when I found Jenna lying in a position that couldn’t be comfortable. I couldn’t explain what I felt when I saw her there.Maybe I was lying to myself but I know she was there for me. She could h
JENNAIt has been proven multiple times that I couldn’t stay mad at Jason for long. I didn’t have the ability.Since childhood. We could fight and I’ll swear to never talk to him again. But you’ll find me looking for him five minutes later.It is no different now. Which makes me think, maybe we didn’t change as much as I thought we did. There were still parts of us that were how it used to be seven years ago.Because tell me why the hell I agreed to come out with him. After the fight we had, I thought this would be the last time and the only thing between us would be the kids. Yes, I was worried about him. But any decent human being would be.You still love him.I shut that thought before it went anywhere. Thankfully, we’ve already gotten to the beachside then. So I forgot about the unwanted thoughts and focused on the present. And the beauty before me.Everything looked regal. Like a dream.I have seen this with Reed, but it was in the night. And though the little candles they lit up
JASONThat guy is a fucking snake. I don’t know how. But I know I’m right.He walks towards Jenna and I, strolling at a leisurely pace like he has all the time in the world. I glared at him approaching form, not that he seemed to mind. Or even notice. Because my eyes were on my Jenna.MINE.She tried to move back but being irrational as I am, I refused to let her go.“Jason,” she spoke softly and made me finally release her. Though it also only makes me hate the fucker more.He stops about fifty meters away from us. But that was still of fucking close for my liking.Jenna has freed herself from my hold. I gave up and let her go, even if it felt like I was being stabbed over and over by a silver dagger.“Hey,” the annoying man greets her, smiling like he was seeing something funny.What annoyed me more was the fact that Jenna returned his smile. I couldn’t believe her. How is she not seeing through his bullshit act? He wasn’t even that good looking and he had the personality of a tissu
JENNAReed was telling me about the last time he went to the beach. How it ended with him getting seasick and having to be admitted to the hospital for a week. Jason was still on his call which I didn’t want to interrupt. Knowing he was probably catching up with Zeke. Sometimes they acted like teenage girls and I’m not even kidding.“It was the worst week of my life,” Reed throws his head back and groans.I reached out and patted his arm with a small smile. “Happens to the best of us,”He glares at me, playfully shoving my hands off him because of my patronizing tone. He mentioned how much he hated how people liked to kiss his ass. Just to annoy him, I’ve been doing a lot of that.We have grown more comfortable if that is even possible. Though I don’t have any qualms in my mind now. I’m not attracted to him in the way I thought I was before. He just felt homey and safe and that made me feel welcome in his presence.There was certainly no fire like I felt with Jason. It should have bee
JASON“I can’t believe this,” Jenna whispers in a broken voice.I feel my heart shatter at the sound of her voice. The broken pitch, the look in her eyes that I couldn’t explain. Her eyes that usually rivaled the sky when it was the brightest are now dark. Preparing for an angry storm that makes the ocean waves move around violently.And I’m being pulled under that wave. Sinking lower into the dark pools of the water. And I have no anchor. I can’t get up and I have no idea how to pull her out.“I’m sorry, Jen. I know you—““I cannot believe you.” She shakes her head and I notice her eyes glistening.Panicked, I step towards her, attempting to pull her to me but she shoves me so hard that I almost trip and fall. I’m able to stand on my feet since I have a better stance.My forehead creases in confusion, my eyes straining as I try to read the expression on her face. Everything looked so fucking bleak and confusing right now.And where the hell did the sun go?“What are you talking about
JENNAI couldn’t believe Jason actually left me standing there with an unconscious bloody man next to me. Whatever bullshit story he conjured because he didn’t want me to be hanging out with Reed, pissed me off. The more I think about it the angrier I get.I didn’t think he would suddenly start liking the guy. I didn’t even expect him to be civil with him. But the last thing I thought he would do was fabricate a lie to get me away from him.That was just going too far.Not to mention how badly he hit him. I wasn’t sure I would talk Reed out of pressing charges if he wanted to.I was stuck between going to get help and leaving him there alone. He definitely didn’t look like he was alright. I was confused and lost and alone. I’ve never felt this alone in my entire life, not even when my babies were kidnapped.I had Lisa and Nana there for me. Maybe when I left the pack heartbroken.Jason is still the reason I’m feeling like this again.God, when will I stop giving him the free chance to
JASONI don’t recognise the person I’ve become. This impulsive violence is nothing like me.No matter how much someone pisses me off or how upset I get, I never raise a hand on people first. I wait for them to take the first hit, then I defend myself. And whatever happens from there is of their own doing.This is the second time I’m acting out and hitting a defenseless man. Defenseless, as in, he wasn’t expecting it and I didn’t have the right to do that.Maybe the first time I didn’t. Wait, I didn’t the second time too, but at least the reason is valid. And I would definitely do it again and again if we were out in that situation.I was upset, simmering with rage, the more I thought of Jenna not only defending the bastard, but calling me a liar. She didn’t outright say it but she could have. It was all the same.The fact that she could think I would do something like that makes my chest burn and my wolf more violent. I wish there was a place I could safely go for a run.If I didn’t f
JENNAI didn’t realize how stressed I was feeling until I went into our tent/room and saw Zeke sitting there. I’d gone in with the plan of telling Jason what a piece of shit u thought he was. I completely forgot about that at the sight of the one person that could make me feel better right now.I didn’t know when I threw myself at him. Thankfully, he had good reflexes and he caught me before I sent both of us flying down the chairs. His arms came up around me and he hugged me tightly.“What’s wrong, Jen? Are you okay?” He asks, stroking my hair gently.I shook my head and held him even tighter when he made a move to get up, he chuckled.“I’m not trying to move. You’re suffocating me.”“Sorry.” I murmured against his chest.I moved back and released his neck. He mutters a thank you at that. But then his arm went to my waist and he held me on his lap.I could feel the burning gaze of Jason on us but I refused to look at him. Zeke stroked my back slowly until I felt myself calming down.
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
