Jaselyn's POV “I was in the middle of a very important meeting which I had to dismiss suddenly after being informed that my attention was needed for something very urgent. So Isla, do tell me what was so important that it couldn't wait.” Zane demanded, the strain in his voice indicating that he was far from pleased.This was the first time I had seen Zane even remotely displeased with his precious wife, and I was truly surprised by it. I thought she could never do anything wrong in his eyes.I guess that it goes to show that you can never ever trust him to always be on your side. Zane was the kind of man who would treat you however he liked, whenever it suited him. Just like how he dumped me right after taking my virginity.Isla immediately rushed over to his side with a feigned look of innocence on her face as she clung to his arm.“Darling, I didn't mean to trouble you so. You know I wouldn't intrude in your work hours if it wasn't urgent but this is a matter that has cut too deepl
Jaselyn's POV Ocha's eyes were bulging down at the diamond necklace that had just fallen out of her pocket to our feet. For the first time ever, I saw her shiver as she darted backwards in horror.“How….I didn't— I…..It's not—When—” She stuttered out nonsensically.“Ocha? But how is that possible?” Isla muttered in disbelief. It sounded like she couldn't believe that Ocha had betrayed her in such a manner, but in reality, only the three of us knew that she was in shock at how her plan could have possibly backfired so badly.Ocha looked up at the Alpha and the Luna with stunned eyes and quivering lips.“Alpha— I—This isn't— I didn't do this, I swear. I don't know how—” It seemed like she couldn't stop stammering, so I just shook my head at her with a disappointed look on my face.“There's no use lying to us now, Ocha. You've been caught red-handed. Just admit to your crime and take your punishment with dignity,” I advised with as much sympathy in my voice as possible.Ocha's gaze snap
Jaselyn's POV True to his words, Zane ensured that Ocha was viciously whipped with 30 lashes in view of the whole pack. I watched as people sneered, spat and gossiped about her. I shivered to think that it would have been me in that same position if I hadn’t been quick enough to outsmart Ocha and her evil twisted psychopath of a mistress. Speaking of psychopathic mistresses, I hadn’t seen Isla since her chilling threat. It made me feel a little nervous to wonder what she must be up to at the moment.Nila snickered at that. “She’s probably somewhere in her evil lair, silently plotting how to make our life a living hell.” Nila predicted and I felt a shiver run down my spine when I realized that my wolf was most probably right.But I had no idea how right she was until I arrived back at the palace from watching Ocha’s punishment when I suddenly saw Isla walking up to me with a sadistic smile on her face.She looked too happy to be normal. She looked more happy than any woman should be
Jaselyn's POV “What’s going on here?” Zane gritted out through clenched teeth, like he was barely able to control himself from lashing out.I felt a strong surge of frustration bubbling up inside me. Why was he suddenly tainting our fun with his dark menacing presence? Couldn’t he take his darkness somewhere else?Rion on the other hand, was smiling at the Alpha like he’d seen a long lost friend and was about to invite him over.“Hey Zane, when did you arrive? I was just showing Jas here how to hold the vacuum cleaner right,” I noticed Zane’s eyes narrow when Rion called me Jas but Rion just continued.“She’s been dragging it around for a while and not holding it right, I was afraid she would end up with a sore wrist or she might sprain it in the worst case scenario.” Rion added in such a cheerful tone that I wondered if I was the only one seeing the Alpha’s murderous expression. Zane’s eyes briefly flickered to my wrists and I was tempted to hide it away, just to spite him.But the
Jaselyn's POV"Your mate?" I asked, trying my best to keep the sadness from seeping into my voice.Rion nodded, his eyes softening as he spoke. "Yes, she's an incredible cook. I told her about you, and she decided to make them specially for you."I couldn't help but feel a bite of envy at the thought of Rion casually talking to his mate while she cooked in the kitchen. What's even worse is the fact that she sounds like a wonderful person, so I couldn’t even hope to hate her."She sounds amazing," I admitted quietly.Rion nodded with a fond look in his eyes. "Yeah.. She absolutely is.”"Rion— Why have you been so nice to me?" I suddenly blurt out, unable to keep the question from slipping out.Rion hesitated for a moment before answering. "You remind me a lot of my sister," he admitted, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness and nostalgia. “She passed away a few years ago. You look like her quite a lot, you'd both be the same age if she was still alive.” He revealed and my heart stil
Jaselyn's POV “How dare you touch me, you filthy thing? Have you gone mad? Just wait and see what Zane does to you for your insolence.” She hollered like a mad dog.“Go ahead and tell him, I dare you. You and I know that you've got no power over me so go ahead and run with your two little feet over to your husband. Tell him all the lies you want but at the end, he'll come to my bed at night.” I snickered.“Don’t you fucking underestimate me, you bitch. You're nothing but scum, you're not even worth the dirt under my shoes. If I wanted to kill you Jaselyn, trust me, you would know, but you wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing to stop me.” she spat, her voice dripping with venom. "Do you think you're important just because Zane comes to you at night? No, you need to stop deluding yourself. Zane was a playboy before he met and married me. He fucked all manner of women and was just looking for the next hole to get his dick wet but eventually abandoned all of them and came to me.The same
Jaselyn's POV“Fuck off! I’m not yours and I will never be yours. You can take my body, but I’ll never want you!” I sneered with blazing eyes.Zane’s gaze held mine hotly for a moment before a smug smile appeared on his face. “Are you absolutely sure about that, pet?”I didn’t get a chance to reply as he swiftly lifted me across the room and dumped me unceremoniously on the bed.I tried to get up but he shoved me back on the bed and began to furiously rip off my dress. I was helpless to fight him as he yanked my hips against his, roughly pressing his bulge against me.I put my hands on his shoulders to slow him down, but he slapped my hands away before latching onto my right shoulder and sucking vigorously, biting so hard that he drew blood but he didn't stop. He kept biting and biting the same spot until the pain became too acute to endure.“Owww, just stop it already. Why do you always have to be so damn rough?!” I snapped.Zane shot me that annoyingly smug smile of his. “I deem it
Zane's POV “Don't try to hide from me, Jaselyn. You're beautiful, let me worship your body.” I utter before I can stop myself. Her cheeks flush and her hands slowly retract but the look of suspicion doesn't disappear from her eyes.I lean down, desiring to taste the sweetness of her lips but her hand covers my mouth, stopping me.“Don't. Don't ever kiss me. You can have access to every other part of my body but my lips are off limits. I don't want your taste on my tongue, it turns bitter and disgusting when you leave.” She says plainly and I bite down a whimper. Any type of rejection from her hurts no matter how subtle, I want to attribute it to the lingering effects of our broken bond but I know deep down that it's not just that.I begin a path, kissing down her neck and peppering her chest with hot kisses, leaving my mark on every inch of skin I can reach. She clamps her hand around her mouth, muffling her sounds and I don't like it.I swipe her hand away with a serious look on my
