*BRIANNE’S POV*I felt my cheeks flush, my pulse racing with excitement. I couldn’t help but be drawn to him, my body swaying towards his as if magnetized.Just then, in a moment that felt like eternity, Jordyn’s lips brushed against mine. Soft, gentle, and yet, electrifying. I felt a jolt of pleasure run through me, my heart soaring as our lips moved in perfect sync.The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the magic of our kiss. I felt like I was floating on air, my senses heightened as I savored the taste of his lips.Jordyn’s arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer as our kiss deepened. I felt his heart beating against mine, our feelings pulsing through every fiber of our being. But our intimate moment was suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside.“Alpha,” somebody called out, their tone urgent.We broke our kiss, startled, and Jordyn’s eyes furrowed. “Yes?” He answered, his deep voice firm but polite.“The ceremony is about to start. You need to
*JORDYN’S POV*I managed to escape from the clutches of my mother and some unwanted guests, seeking refuge in the hallway asI was desperate for a drink.As I walked, I heard my mother’s voice behind me, dripping with false sweetness.“Jordyn,” she called out, her voice echoing in the empty hallway.I stopped dead in my tracks, a sigh of frustration escaping my lips as a familiar feeling of annoyance seeped through my veins. I knew exactly where this was going.“Mother,” I answered, my voice firm and detached.She smiled, her entire set of teeth gleaming in the dim light of the hallway. “What do you think about the minister’s daughter?” She asked, her eyes sparkling with a knowing glint.The question sounded awkward, but I already knew where she was getting at. My mother had been trying to set me up with the minister’s daughter for months, and I had made it clear that I wasn’t interested.“Mother, stop this act of madness!” I warned, my voice stern and absolute. “I have told you befor
*BRIANNE’S POV*I stood frozen in shock. What had Jordyn just done? Why did he announce that publicly? I was dumbfounded, my thoughts raced with questions.“Oh my God,” I heard Janette’s low exclamation beside me, her voice was filled with surprise.We decided to take things slow, to get to know each other better before making any big decisions. So why did he come up here to announce that he’s found his mate? I felt like I had been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me.My eyes drifted to the girl who had been chatting with him, and she looked just as surprised as I was. Her eyes were wide with shock and her mouth hung open in disbelief.I was relieved that Jordyn hadn’t said who his mate was, I wasn’t ready for any form of attention.“I can’t believe he just did that!” Janette exclaimed. “My brother is something else.”We watched him walk off the stage like a rockstar, a confident swagger in his step. He was clearly proud of what he had just done, and I couldn’t help but f
*BRIANNE’S POV*I sat on my bed, staring at the piles of clothes and wondering how the hell I was going to sort through them all. Just as I was about to start, I heard a knock on my door.“Come in,” I answered, expecting it to be my mom with another load of laundry. The door knob pushed slowly and my mom peeled through the tiny space.“You want to talk?” She asked lowly.I was not ready for another sermon on how to go about my own life.“You can come in,” I said, my voice void of any emotion.My mom walked slowly to my bed and sat right next to me. “So…” she started.“I heard the Alpha announced that he now has a mate at the full moon ceremony yesterday,” she said.I nodded, trying to act unconcerned.“Was he talking about you?” She suddenly askedI looked at her. I was going to deny it point blank because I was not in for any form of negative energy advice. But the soft look in her eyes made me stop for a second. She looked genuinely curious and concerned that I didn’t know when I n
*BRIANNE’S POV*“Nice fight, Brianne.” The instructor’s voice sounded in the arena.I grinned from ear to ear feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment as I walked away from my defeated opponent.I had been training hard, and it was paying off. My skills were improving with each passing day, and I could feel the difference in my movements, my reflexes, and my overall confidence.I took a seat and reached for my water bottle, taking a long gulp to quench my parched throat. The cool liquid soothed my dry mouth and throat, and I closed my eyes, savoring the moment.But as I opened my eyes and stared at my phone, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment. There were no texts, no missed calls. Nothing. I had been waiting for Jordyn to say something after the full moon ceremony, but he had been awfully quiet. Too quiet.A knot formed in my stomach as I felt a wave of worry. Why hadn’t he texted or called? Was everything okay?I tried to push the thoughts aside, focusing on my trainin
*JORDYN’S POV*“Mother! What is the meaning of this nonsense?” I thundered, my voice echoing vehemently.My mother turned to face me, her eyes burning with a spiteful intensity that made my blood boil.“She’s not fit to be the Luna of this pack, Jordyn,” she spat. “Why can’t you see that?”My face twisted in anger, my heart almost ripping in rage. “Is that why you met with her to threaten her?” I demanded, my voice low and menacing.My mother moved a step closer. “And I’ll do it again if I have to.” She sneered. “You have to wake up, Jordyn. Being the Luna of this pack is not child’s play, and it can’t simply be bestowed on someone like her.” She said.I was running out of patience, her words were a slap in the face, and I felt my anger surge out of control. “How dare you?” I growled, my voice tight with rage. “You have no right to interfere in my relationship or question Bri’s worthiness as my Luna.”My mother’s expression turned cold and calculating. “I have every right,” she said.
*BRIANNE’S POV*“I already knew the battle I signed up for the day I decided to become your girlfriend,” I said, my voice steady and resolute. “I’ll try hard and prove to everyone that I am not just a wolfless omega,” My determination was evident and I could see the tension in Jordyn’s body begin to ease.He took a deep breath, his shoulders relaxing as he gazed at me. “I knew you’d understand,” He said, his voice full and throaty.I smiled. I had been skeptical and unable to decide after his mother’s warning. But hearing from him just made me even more determined. I’m going to join him in the fight, and we will fight for what we share.I suddenly remembered something— Something I’d wanted to ask him for the past few days.“So, are you going to talk about what you did at the full moon ceremony?” I asked, my eyebrows raised playfully. “The public announcement. Really?”Jordyn chuckled softly, his eyes crinkling at the corner. “ I was wondering when you’d bring that up,” He said, his v
*BRIANNE’S POV*I sat in my room, silently brushing my hair, lost in thought.It’s funny how I used to love staying in the pack house, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of pack life. But now, I find myself skedaddling my way home with any break I get. Staying away from the pack house as much as possible is probably for the best.As I brushed my hair, my mind wandered off to how much my life had changed since I met Jordyn. I used to be so carefree, but now, it felt like I was constantly on edge.My phone suddenly vibrated to life, the screen illuminating with a text from Jordyn.I excitedly picked it up and swiped the screen to see what he had sent.“Will pick you up later. Dress up, we’re going on a date.” The text read.I grimaced at the text. He always seemed like a different person over text. His messages were always so dry, lacking the warmth and affection that he showed in person. It was as if he was a completely different person when he’s typing away on his phone.Well, I was
