~Jayden's POV~ Evelyn hasn't felt good since Ashton left. We both tried to cheer her up, but it was of no use... She wants both of us to be with her, and I won't blame her... Even I can't part ways with her right after mating and marking her. But Ashton... I am truly amazed at how good he is at balancing and controlling his emotions. It's not easy for an alpha to leave his mate right after such intense intimacy, but he does it very nicely and smoothly. He has way too much patience for an alpha... "I agree... Not only him but Blaze as well," Dominic said. I guess this is the result of living as a human or between humans for years. Because as an alpha, we always know what we want or how things will be. No matter if we have our wolf or not, alphas always want things to happen their way. But since Ashton spent his eighteen years of life like a human, he has way too much control over his wolf and thoughts. My eyes fell on my mate who just come out of the kitchen with Mom and a s
~Jayden's POV~ I like the confidence that my mate is wearing right now but still deep inside my heart I feel she has made the wrong decision. I don't know what the heck she was thinking when she agreed to fight with her. It was evident that Audrey wanted to irk her so she could embarrass her in front of the whole pack. Still, she agreed. Why? Along with me, Mom also tried to change her mind but it was of no use, she didn't listen to any of us and agreed to this shit. I don't mind her kicking Audrey's ass but she should be trained for that first. It's not that she got the wolf so she also learned to fight on her own. It's never going to happen unless she takes proper fighting lessons. "Babe, think about it," I mind-linked her while walking beside her in the gym. "I have already made up my mind, Jay. Do you want our pack members to feel I am not capable of being their Luna? You know I can't step back, and neither do I want to," She replied while hand-combing her hair. I sighe
~Evelyn's POV~ I have been waiting for this moment for so long... I admit that I was the one who denied marriage for a very long time but that was necessary for my career. Career... Shoot... In this whole Marcus thing and mate bond issue, I have neglected so much work. How the fuck I am gonna catch up with all my work that has been ignored till now? Mom and Dad have a lot of expectations from me and I always made sure to make them proud but lately, I have not been doing even a percent of what I was supposed to do. I have to talk to Dad and Mom... It's been days since I last talked to both of them. Whenever they called, I just texted them that I'd catch up with them soon but didn't do it even once. God... When I become a horrible daughter? I was never like this... "Luna, your dress is here," Jessica said as she knocked on the door. I opened the door, let her inside, and asked if she could wait for me a bit. I have to talk to my parents now. I can't ignore them like t
~Evelyn's POV~ "I don't get why she wants to talk to you..." Jay sighed. "Neither do I," I said. When I told Sasha I'd be there with Jay, she immediately told me that Ruby wanted to see me alone. She doesn't want to face his wrath. I rolled my eyes as if Jay had done anything to her. Except for growling and one or two threats, he hadn't done anything yet. "The only option to find out is to go there only. I will update you on everything," I said. "Don't step inside her cell... I don't trust her," He said. I nodded my head and started to move ahead while he stood by the steel door of the dungeon, telling me he would be waiting for me outside. Sasha guided me to her cell and as I kept walking further and further, my nose scrunched and I felt like throwing out. This place stinks! How the heck do people survive here? This place is impossible! "This place is horrible..." I said while covering my nose. "That's why it's called a dungeon, Luna," Sasha smiled. A dungeon... No.
~Jayden's POV~ I could feel so many emotions of my mate ever since she stepped into the dungeon. Irritation, amusement, and confusion were fine but fear? What did Ruby tell her that this emotion crossed through her heart and mind? I was confused when Sasha told me that Evelyn asked her to leave, what the heck it was that Sasha couldn't know? She is the head female warrior of the clan and she should know what the fuck is happening in the pack and most importantly, she should always stay by her Luna's side. "Babe?" I mind-linked her. "Coming..." She said. Her voice was faint and confused at the same time which didn't sit well with me at all. I don't know what the heck Ruby told her but whatever it was, it was making me hell anxious right now because my energetic and enthusiastic mate was not being herself at the moment. I hate when she sounds like this and feel this way. Our bond started to strengthen and with each second passing, I knew the door was about to open any time
~Ashton's POV~ I placed my hand on Mom's hand which was still shivering and hugged her from the side. She had seen me shifting into my wolf a lot of times before but this was the first time she saw me fighting, that too with six rogues at once. My shifts had never been aggressive while shifting in front of my family but this was so loud and threatening that even after an hour of dealing with it and getting myself checked by a werewolf doctor, Mom couldn't sit still. "I don't want this life for you... Anything could have happened to you today!" She exclaimed. She looked me straight in the eye and placed her hand on my face, "I know you will think that I am asking for too much or maybe being irrelevant but Ash... I don't want this life for you. I have noticed that ever since you met your birth family, you have been troubled by some or other things. Tell me, something very big is going on, right? This is the reason why Evelyn is not here, am I right?" I don't think I can hide the
~Jayden's POV~ "Even after putting a lot of pressure on my mind, I can't think of even one person who can betray us," Mom sighed while massaging her temples. "Are you sure she is not trying to mess with us just to get security? Because I can't think of any name who would do that to us," Dad said. I shook my head, Ashton and I talked about this, and whatever he told me about the attack stated that Ruby wasn't lying. There is someone who is keeping an eye on us. How? We still need to figure it out. "We would think more about this because this person is not your enemy, but ours..." Dad said and nodded to Mom. Mom, Dad, and Dylan's parents all walked out of my office to recall all the people from their past, and I sighed. While they did their tasks, I should do mine. My mate is still hell angry with me and not willing to talk at all. "I think you should take classes from Ashton. He was right," Dominic said. "Whatever," I rolled my eyes. "Did you make the arrangements?" I ask
~Evelyn's POV~ He made sure not to break the eye contact all the way he walked to his room with me in his arms. I was so into looking into his beautiful brown eyes that I didn't care about stumbling into someone or somewhere. I knew I was in his arms... I was safe from anyone and everything coming my way. And if anything happens, he would be there to look after me... So it ain't an issue for me at all. He took me to the room safely and the moment he shut the door hard and loudly with his leg, was the moment I realized we were alone in our room. He guided me to the bed with love in his eyes but with a smirk on his lips which made me bite my lower lip, I could feel his lust mixed with love getting stronger and stronger with each second passing but the expressions on his face made me wonder what he was thinking with his alpha's mind. I wish I could find out that too. He gently made me lay down on the bed and kissed my head. His hand went behind my back and the zipper of my dres
~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, "
