~Evelyn's POV~ Did I hear it right? Did Jayden Conner just accept me as his mate in front of his whole family? "Am I hallucinating?" I asked. I scoffed, of course I am. He would have accepted me if he wanted to. Everyone's head moved towards me but my eyes were focused on only one person... The person who just broke my heart. "Evelyn, we need to talk. It's not what it looks like. I never told her or anyone that I want her as my mate," He said. I could feel that he wasn't lying with the way his eyes were trying to sync with his voice but I couldn't trust him. He made me believe that he loves me and wants to stay with me with those same eyes... The same eyes who betrayed me today. I am not going to fall for his charming trap again. Trap... Ash was right... He had a trap for me and I fell for it way too easily. How did I think that someone could love me the same way as Ash? No one... No one can ever match the amount of love he showers at me. Not even his brother... Eve
~Evelyn's POV~ While Jayden and his father followed Emma's footsteps, Ash forwarded his hand to me but for some reason, I found his small action hesitant. The way he was trying to avoid my gaze told me that something was going on in his head. But what? He took me somewhere along with Jayden and his parents and I sighed, of course, important things will be discussed in Jayden's office. "So are you all planning to tell everything on your own or do you want me to ask one by one," Emma asked. "I have no role in this... I just came here to see... To see Jayden and talk to him about us. Even after knowing we were mates, he didn't try to reach out to me even once. I was curious... But just like you, I experienced the same thing," I truthfully said. She took her gaze to Jayden who sighed, "You know what I wanted myself for my whole life. What kind of mate I wanted..." He glanced at me which made me glare at him, I was fucking wrong in thinking he wants me. He wants me because of h
~Jayden's POV~ I have never been this mad before. Not only mad, she sent me on the verge of putting my claws to her neck multiple times. I fucking want to rip Audrey's head off and feed it to wild animals in the forest. What the fuck she was thinking that she made such a huge mess for no fucking reason? Everything was going fine... Evelyn and I were doing pretty well and getting a lot way better than I thought but that bitch has to ruin everything. My plan was to win my mate's heart and Ashton's trust together but because of this mess, I lost her in the worst way. Though my brother stood by my side all the while still my mate... She left. She fucking left! Ashton and I tried our best to stop her from leaving but she was so mad at both of us that she didn't acknowledge our voice and left without sparing a glance at us. What the fuck am I supposed to do now!"Go and kill that bitch who is the reason for all this shit!" Dominic growled in my head. I was already on the
~Evelyn's POV~ "I told you not right now! Give me the space and peace I deserve. You both already ruined it in the best possible way. Now fucking leave me alone!" I yelled at Jayden and disconnected the call for the fifth time in 3 days. It's been 3 days... Fucking 3 days since I am telling them to leave me alone but they are not letting me breathe peacefully. Something or the other way, they are trying to find their ways to contact me not understanding that I need some space from them. I don't want to snap at anyone who does not have any part in this. My family, employees and other people whom I come in contact with... They shouldn't become a victim of my anger. I am trying my best to maintain my sanity around them but these two... They are constantly trying to get on my nerves. And I fucking hate this. They played with me when they shouldn't... They broke my heart when they were supposed to keep it safe and protected... And now they want me to forgive without even letting
~Ashton's POV~ “Don't get too excited, I only asked you to meet me because I have a lot of questions. No one apart from both of you can answer them,” Bambi said as she took her seat in front of Jayden and me. “Why do I have a feeling that this is going to end in an ugly way?” Jayden asked in our mind link. I glanced at him and narrowed my eyes at him, our last conversation wasn't enough that he had to think of this one ending like that as well. We already ended up our last conversation in the ugliest way. I don't want him or even I to mess up this time. “Bambi, I-“ “Don't. I don't want any explanations from you. You should have explained things earlier, not now,” she said while I sighed. I thought she would be in a calm state of mind after four days but it seems like it will take her longer than expected to come back to her usual self. “Just imagine if she was doing the same as you, putting you through the same situation and pain. Taking decisions on your behalf and plann
~Jayden's POV~ My dearest mate tried her best to suppress her emotions throughout the drive to my penthouse but her rising heartbeat and sweaty palms easily told how nervous she was. She was sitting across from Ashton and me in the car dressed in a blue denim skirt that reached to her upper thighs and in a white one-shoulder top which showed her perfectly aligned collarbone well. It was fucking hard for me to avert my gaze from her milky smooth long leg. Her legs were looking so sexy that I wanted to place her leg on my lap and give her soft strokes until she was dripping from her sweet spot. I quickly averted my gaze from her as her head turned towards me and suppressed myself from groaning, this was way fucking difficult for me than I thought. How would I control myself when no one would be around us? Ashton's chocolate scent reached my nostrils and I massaged my temples, I had to think of more ways to get her alone with me. Though he is accepting us as 'we' now, still I k
~Jayden's POV~ She rapidly blinked her eyes not believing what she just heard. She took her attention to Ashton to confirm whatever she heard was true and when he nodded his head, she slumped back on the couch with her hand on her forehead. Ashton and I gazed at each other, what the heck is she thinking? I thought she would be mad at Ashton and me for doing this to her and hiding all of this for this long but minutes passed and she didn't say a word, she just kept sitting in the same position. "Evelyn?" I called her. She looked at me as the train of her thoughts broke and yelled, "I have werewolf blood running through my veins... You fucking gave me your blood and didn't bother to tell me! Does that mean I am not a human anymore? That I am like both of you? Tell me! And how is that even possible?" "I am an alpha..." I said. "So...?" She asked. "Alpha's blood is the most powerful blood, Bambi," Ashton said. "That means I am not a human anymore?" she asked as her voice d
~Ashton's POV~ I was sitting in the car staring at the road in front of me... I don't know where should I go and what should I do. I never felt like this before... I have never been so depressed in my life before... Not even when I got to know I was adopted. This hurts bad... So bad that I don't think I would ever be able to take this feeling out of my heart. Blaze told me how it feels when our mate cheats on us. The pain doesn't feel any less than thousands of ice picks inserted into your heart and acid running down through your veins. It is so painful that it kills you from the inside. Though I didn't feel even a bit of what he told me, still I felt hurt seeing my only woman in someone else's arms in front of me. Never in my worst nightmare, I thought of this happening. She was always mine... Made for me, born for me but now... I had no other option but to see her losing herself in the warmth of someone else. Her body used to loosen up after my touch... The stiffness in he
~Third Person's POV~ Emma woke up with mixed feelings in her heart. Even though the pain was still there, Evelyn was able to replace it with happiness. She was over the moon after knowing she would be welcoming a new life in her family after so many years. A shiver ran down her spine as the memory of her twin newborns flashed in front of her eyes and she shook her head, "I won't let anything happen to my grandchildren." She remembered what Evelyn asked for and mind-linked Jayden, asking him about his whereabouts."In my office as my mate doesn't want me to enter our room..." Jayden huffed in the mind link. "How long has it been?" Emma asked. "The whole night, Mom... Ashton will be back anytime soon and then I will talk to her," He sighed."Where's Dad?" Jayden asked. "In the shower..." She replied. "I'm coming to see you," Jayden said and walked out of his office. Emma was waiting for Jayden to arrive but instead of only Jayden, Ashton and he both reached her which brought
~Evelyn's POV~ It's been only a few hours since I found out about my baby and I am already feeling as if my body is changing inside out. I know it's my brain constantly reminding me of the life growing inside me but the constant feeling of something moving in my stomach is making me feel ticklish and making me feel more protective towards myself. Even in the massage parlour, I didn't let the masseuse put pressure on my back or stomach. Everything was going fine until she asked me if I was pregnant. How the heck did she know about this? As far as I remember, the OB told me that my pregnancy would be different than werewolves then how she was able to point it out?"Our scent changes when we get pregnant. Maybe she caught two scents in you," Estelle said. "That means Jayden will be able to identify it as well?" I asked. "Yes..." I sighed, that means I have to tell him before Ash. I can't hide this from him for a long time. But I wanted to tell both of them together about our
*** Trigger warning- Please skip the dungeon part if you find it triggering.***~Jayden's POV~ It was not a shocker for me or Ashton to find out about Vincent as he is also a blood-sucking leech but I was indeed amazed by the acting that he did all these years. Looking back on the conversation that I had with the vampire council earlier, I wouldn't have ever doubted that it was Vincent, the oldest vampire in the council, was killing people behind everyone's back. The way he was taking the lead and acting so calm... That was a thing to praise. He did a great job of concealing his identity for so many years... He not only killed so many innocents one after another but also tortured so many women by making them his pet. I'm glad Ashton was always with Evelyn... At least he wasn't able to catch her... I checked my phone one more time to see if Evelyn texted me back or not and sighed. I thought I would talk to her about this and tell her that Ashton was on his way home but this girl
~Third Person's POV~ Ashton's heart was filled with peace and excitement with the thought that everything would go back to its place in just a few hours. Sarah and Emmett called all the council members from the werewolf, vampire, and dragon communities for an urgent meeting to reveal the person behind all these attacks in the human world and punish the person right there. Where every single person in the council was puzzled by the sudden meeting, dragons were enjoying it. Their playful and deadly nature was making the fact more exciting that they would be the ones killing the vampire and his whole army in just a snap. Ashton stepped inside the conference room with Sarah and Emmett and instantly he caught the eyes of every single person sitting there. The werewolf council knew it was Ashton Conner but for dragons and vampires, he seemed Jayden Conner. But unlike Jayden whose aura is powerful and deadly, his aura is calm and mysterious which excites the dragons and confuses the
~Ashton's POV~ Even though I was by my wife's side all night, I still didn't sleep and kept twisting and turning the whole night. It was torture for me to leave her side right the next day after our wedding, but I had to do this. Her smooth leg was tangled between my legs with my hand resting on her left breast and chin touched with her head but still, I couldn't sleep with the thought that I had to leave her side to meet the councils in the morning and that too without telling her. I am sure she must be giving a hard time to Jayden after knowing that I left, but I hope she will understand this. I know I have to hear a lot from her on this, but as long as I succeed in what I am about to do, I am happy to hear anything that she wants to say. I just want to see her safe... And the only option to make sure she stays safe is to go and implement the plan that I forged with Emmett and Sarah. I took a sigh of relief as the plane landed, and I quickly checked my phone. A groan left m
~Jayden's POV~ I don't get what's wrong with her. I understand she is mad because Ashton or I didn't tell her he would be leaving, but her reaction... Why doesn't she understand that she can't talk to me like that? I do not want to dominate her or behave like those dominating alphas, but she also needs to understand that she can't use that tone on me. I don't act like an alpha around her because that is my comfort home space where I don't want to boss at all but whenever she uses that voice on me, I don't want anything but to growl and tell her I won't take that attitude from her. But... I am glad I didn't do what I had long to do then. It would have worsened the situation more. I will talk to her when she wants to. I don't want to approach her right now... We ran back to the packhouse so I could finally go to the dungeon to get some answers from my so-called aunt, but suddenly I felt that some footsteps accompanying me left my side. I gazed at my left and saw Jake wasn'
~Evelyn's POV~ Jay slammed the door after him and went out of the room which enraged me more... I asked him to leave me alone for some time not to slam the door on my face. "He didn't slam the door on your face... You are standing far away from the door," Estelle said. "I was looking at the door so it means the same thing!" I growled and sat on the couch. "Evelyn, you-" Estelle tried to say something but once again I started to get the same weird feeling in my stomach that I got a few moments ago and I ran to the bathroom. Again I threw the little amount of water out of my stomach and sighed, what the heck is wrong with me? First Ash left without telling me anything, then Jay behaved as if it was me who was at the fault, and now this... What the heck is wrong with us? "I think I know..." Estelle whispered in my head. "What? What's wrong with me?" She is my wolf... She resides in me... For sure she must know what's wrong with me. "What is it, Estelle?" I asked while was
~Jayden's POV~ The rose scent of my mate entered my nostrils and I pulled her back to me. Her soft naked skin brushed against my naked body, giving me the best feeling in the morning and I kissed her shoulder, making her move closer to me. I love how we feel in each other's arms... These tingles and the spark flowing between us intensify ten times more in the morning just like the feeling of getting inside my mate in the morning. "Jay..." She mumbled in sleep. Her sleepy voice hit me hard and my length instantly hardened which hit her butt. A soft sound came out of her mouth which made it more difficult for me to keep my dick to myself and I gave her a soft and slow thrust. "Baby..." She whispered in the most cute voice. "Hmm..." I kissed her shoulder while caressing one of her breasts with my one hand and rubbed my fingers on the bean sitting at the top of her flower. She turned around to kiss me but I went on top of her and parted her legs at both of my sides. I swiftl
~Jayden's POV~"She won't be liking it..." "I know she won't but I have to. I don't think we have any other option if we want to end this stuff right now only," Ashton sighed. "It might take you days and you just got married," I said while running my fingers through my hair. Whatever he was saying or suggesting was right but I couldn't let go of him like this. He just got married... How can I let him go and tell his newly wedded wife that he is not here to be with her? That he might not be with her maybe for a couple of days or more? I can't do this... It will be very wrong to Evelyn. "She will understand. I know," He said. "I know she would but it would upset her a lot. Her wedding had already been ruined and now this..." I sighed, I don't know what should I do. I want to put an end to our current situation but at the same time, I don't want to hurt Evelyn as well. "Tell her after I leave... Not before that," Ashton said. He gazed at my disagreeing face and sighed, "
