#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
#Chapter62ANIYAH POVHave you ever been so fucking pissed off at some information that you've just received that you wasn't sure who to punch in the face first? The person who did it or the knowing messenger?"He wants to reject her?" I asked through greeted teeth.I didn't want to yell and catch the attention of any wandering ears."Yes.""Why?" I questioned."I- Im not sure.""When did he realize this?""I dont know. He said he picked up her scent and when he saw her, he knew it was her. He knew he couldn't be with her.""Okay.""Okay?""Yeah. Im going to kill him." I turned to storm out of the office but was tugged back."You can not make a scene Niyah. This is HIS choice." He demanded."Fine." I groaned. "But I want to speak to him. Privately. And I promise, I will not kill him.""Aniyah?""Okay okay. I wont nag it.""Good." He smiled.**********1 day.2 days.3 days.4 days.5 days.6 days.Oh Brent is ge
#Chapter63JESS POVI sat in the back seat, staring up at the ceiling of the car.I needed this.A girls night out where there was no more worry nor thought. A night where I can forget all of the pain. A night where reality of my suck ass life would disappear or be erased as if it doesn't exist. Only for a moment though."Where are we going?" I questioned Keira."A small lounge called Spirits.""Sounds...interesting." Aniyah said."Sounds creepy." I murmured, sparking a flood of chuckles."But its fun, and chill." Keira reassured."Cool." Within a few minutes, we reached the lounge. It seemed small on the outside but that all changed once we've reached the inside.A large area. A dance floor in the middle, and long bar occupying the left wall and red leather-covered booths and chairs positioned on the right side."A booth?" Keira pointed to a empty spot.We walked through the small crowd and took a seat at a vacant booth."What can I get
#Chapter64JESS POVA cool breeze blew into my window. Good thing too because I felt sweaty as hell.Wait.Who opened the window?I shook off the thought and focused on other things. Like my need for the bathroom. I jumped up and walked across the tan carpet and over the bedroom door.All of that liquor from last night was coming back to bite me in the ass.I peeked out the door and tip toed down the hall.Where the hell is the bathroom again?So many damn doors. Boy, I wish they get a sign or something.It was still early so I knew everyone was still asleep so I didn't want to wake anyone. But I didn't want to piss on myself neither.Time to make a random guess here.I gripped the door knob to a random door and held my breath slightly. I exhaled, wishing myself luck as I pushed it open, only to come in contact with what seems like a closet.I walked further down the hall and decided to make another educated guess. I turned the gold door knob an
#Chapter65JASON POVThe world around me seemed grey when I wasn't around my mate. She was the only one that brought light to my day, changing my mode from my gloomy feeling to a world of color.I walked through the house, passing the various members of the pack who looked alert of me, with a hint fear.I guess I gave them that reason to look at me this way.I opened the basement door and walked in, slamming the door closed behind me. The sound of my boots against the wooden steps was uncanny. Again. Again. And again, my footsteps echoed through my ears as I walked down the steps.I walked across the empty basement floor and over to the wall that was covered in old boxes and equipment. The shelves were growing weak from the amount of things we put on it, covered in dust due to the lack of use. I reached behind one of the shelves and gripped the handle to pull the wall.It creaked open far enough, allowing me the opportunity to slip right in to the secret passage wa
#Chapter66(Plz note that his wolf is still in control)I would give him back the control. I will let him step forward but first, I had something I needed to do.Not for me.For her.Unlike him, I will honor my mates wishes and needs. Even if it meant going behind his command and doing so.I walked into my room and slammed the door closed and locked it.I walked deeper into my room, inhaling the smell of here body wash as it danced around the room. I followed the scent to the bathroom door.I couldnt help but smirk from the trail of clothing she left from the bed to the bathroom. She always had a way of doing that.I twisted the cool gold knob of the bathroom door and slowly opened it. Instantly, the warm steam wiped across my face, carrying the exhilarating smell of her.I gently closed the door behind me and took in this moment of her. She couldn't hear my entrance, on the account that she was too busy humming a melody to a song she knew.I stood th
#Chapter67JASON POVHe came close. So fucking close.He could have done it.It was like staring into a one way window. I was unable to stop it. I was only able to watch it all.Watching her lay there, oblivious to his true intentions. Her body accepting it, unaware of the pain that she would be put through.He could have changed her right then and there.He would have bitten her, sending in the venom to attack her, changing her body completely. Once its in her, there would be no turning back.I need better control of this. I have allowed him too much freedom in this."COME IN!" I yelled to whomever was standing on the other side of my office door.The door opened and Kiera and Aaron walked in."Are you okay dude?" Aaron looked at me worriedly."Im fine." I tried to assure him.He just stared at me, clearly not believing my response. I knew him for years so if anyone could read me like a open book, it was him. I just hope he didn't continue aski
