#Chapter54I sat at the dining room table, finishing up my last project for school. I had to do a end of the year project that was worth half my final grade so I needed peace and quiet. No place better for that then home."Prom is this weekend, aren't you excited?" My mom cheered. She seemed to be a little more excited then me."I'am." I half smiled.Between finding the perfect dress, the perfect shoes, the right hairstyle, and the makeup option, I was more overwhelmed then excited.I finished up my work right before my mother returned with a plate of dinner. Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, gravy and crescent rolls. My stomach was growling harshly but for some reason, I couldn't eat.I was so focused in thought that I didnt notice my mother was watching me play with my food."Are you okay?" My mom asked."Huh? Oh yea, Im great."I lied. I wasn't great. I was really worried about what was going on in the pack house. What was going on with Jason. Lately, he's
#Chapter55"Hell yeah, prom time baby." Keira yelled as her and Keisha barged into my room.Keira decided that she wanted to get dressed in my room while the guys got dressed in Aaron's room.Even though I have been waiting all school year to enter the ball room wearing my sexy yet elegant prom dress, accompanied by the the most handsome man of all time, things will be going a little differently tonight.I sat at the vanity mirror, admiring how graceful Maya tended to my hair. The vanity dresser was a complete cluttered, covered in hair clips, pins, flat iron, curling wond, flexi rods, and hair sprays."Finished." Maya smiled.I looked closely, admiring the soft bouncy curls that framed my face. She even did an exceptional job on my makeup, giving my eyes a smokey look. My skin looked perfectly flawless with a smooth cover of foundation. My lips were covered in a clean cover of red lipstick. I looked amazing thanks to Maya's artistic hands."Thank you soooo much."
#Chapter56I sat at the end of my bed, staring at the dress that hung on the back of the door. So much for an amazing, fun prom."Honey?" My mother walked into my room."Are you okay? How was prom?""Its was awesome." I put on one of my best fake smiles."Great.""Mom, Im tired though. I really need some sleep. All that is partying tired me out.""It is late. Goodnight sweetie and I will talk to you in the morning." She pulled me into a hug and placed a light kiss on my forehead."Goodnight." She walked out.I picked up my towel and walked into the bathroom. The shower was a tension reliever. Each spray of water massaged my tightening muscles. Once I was done, I brushed my teeth and walked out.I came to a halt when I noticed a figure standing by my window, his back facing me. This familiar figure was motionless, almost like he was concentrating.I walked slowly across the room and took a seat at the edge of the bed. The awkward silence scared me. His
#Chapter57ANIYAH POVI hate being turned down, especially by my mate so pay back is definitely in order.It was getting late so I knew Jason would be home soon. Good. I wanted him to see what he walked away from. Yeah, it sounded childish but I wanted to show him what he shouldn't have rejected.I slipped on a black matching bra and panties set. I slipped on my knee high black fish net stockings that clipped on to my panties. I let my hair down, allowing it to frame my face and rest past my shoulders.I turned on the television and laid down across the bed. Right on cue, the door opened and in walked Jason. His eyes darkened once he saw me.A smirk crossed my face once I noticed the way he was staring at me. His animalistic eyes examined every part of my body, inspecting every detail of me."Damn." He whispered.He walked across the room toward the bed and attempted to grab me. Immediately I rolled over and stood to my feet."Hi Jason?" I walked passed him
#Chapter58JASON POVI couldn't help but stand by and watch her. Watch how her hair rested wildly around her face and head. Watch how her chest rose and fell every time she inhaled and exhaled.It was morning now and soon she would be up and probably in discomfort. Pain. I looked at her dainty hands that laid lifelessly above her head. The visibly red dashes on her hands caught my eyes and it pissed me off. I shouldn't have even given him the control.I didn't hurt her. My wolf cut in.Then what the fuck do you call the cuts all over her?Loving-making pain?YOU HURT HER. I snapped.I didn't hurt her. I would never hurt her. He growled.Oh please.All I did was make love to our mate. I did something she asked.Can you imagine what she is going to feel when she gets up?The silence that was left was enough for me to realize he was thinking about it.Stop thinking we are hurting her. Just make love to our mate. Good love. Rough love. He finally resp
#Chapter59ANIYAH POV"Whats wrong?" Jason asked once we finally made it back to the pack home.After speaking with Jess on the phone, I couldn't stop thinking about her and what she must be going through.I tried to keep a straight face around Jason but it was almost impossible. He could always find a way to read me."Um nothing." I tried to put on a reassuring smile."Dont lie to me." He looked me dead in my eyes."Its just..my friend. Her mother passed away and I know how she must feel. My mother and I are flying to Philadelphia to go to the funeral the day after tomorrow.""Oh. Im sorry to hear that.""Yeah. Its just a difficult time I would say.""Yeah. So when are we booking the flights?""We?" I questioned."Do you think Im going to let my mate go somewhere unattended?" He took a seat at the kitchen counter and pulled me onto his lap."Im not shocked." I pretended to be astonished. "So who will come with you?""Hm? Maybe Maya?""Nop
#Chapter60ANIYAH POVWe sat in Jason's rented car, watching the city's buildings fly past our window.However, even though I've missed the city life, it will never replace or compare to my home with the pack and Jason.The sky was dark, rain threatened to fall on this gloomy day that fits all of our moods this morning.Zeiden and Jason remand silent out of respect for my mother and I's sadness.Finally, we arrived. Pulling up, the small brick building was surrounding by other guests, wardrobed in black attire to pay their respects.Jason parked the car and we all exited and joined the other guests swarm into the funeral parlor in a slow fashion."Jess!" I ran past the slow people and slammed into Jess with a thump."Niyah!" She wrapped her arms around me as I embraced her with a hug. "Thank you so much for coming.""I have to be here with you." I smiled.She struggled to return the smile but the sadness and hurt lingered behind it. I could tell she was
#Chapter61"I cant wait until you meet the pack.""The pack?" She questioned my choice of wording."Um yeah. Out here, pack means...friends or group.""What are you? Part of a gang?" She toyed."Shut up.""Dinner's ready." My mom smiled.She placed our hot meals on the table and we immediately dug in without any hesitation."Tomorrow we can hit up the mall and then head over to Jason's house.""Sounds like a plan." She smiled.***************A mall run with two of my good friends was all I needed. Shopping for clothes and reminiscing about all the things we used to enjoy in philly was great."I will never, I mean NEVER, get waxed again." Keira complained."Yeah.. I know."We all decided it will be fun to get a bikini wax. Bad idea. It hurt like hell.We pulled up to the pack house and I noticed that Jess looked completely amused by the large establishment."Are you guys rich?" She whispered."Not really." Keira smirked.Keira parke
