Jayson P.O.V.Once they were gone, I thought it was nice to see my dad happy, and I hope she is the one for him. But I hope she doesn't break his heart. I don't want to go back there again when my mother destroyed my dad when she left. I shrugged my shoulder, and I walked away from the front door and turned and stopped by the stairs.So, I ran upstairs, jumped in the shower, got out, went to my room, dropped the towel, and got dressed. Then, I walked over to where my phone was plugged in and saw it was fully charged, and it was. So, I grabbed it and walked out my bedroom door and downstairs and out the front door, telling my dad I was going out, and I will be back later, and I love him. I didn't wait for him to reply. I was out the door and ran down the driveway towards my truck, and I opened it, hopped right in, and started it. I pulled out, and I was out driving down the road to Ashely's house.Once I pulled up to Ashely's house, I turned off the engine, and I sat there and watched
Jayson P.O.V.I opened my mouth, and my words left my mouth." Why did you hurt me?" I didn't mean to say it, but it slipped out. I licked my lips, waiting for her to say she was sorry or say it's none of your business like she always tells me. But no. She kept quiet and looked down at her lap, and I heard her sniff like she was trying not to cry. Oh, Great. I guess I am the bad guy again. I am making her feel sad, and she is going to cry. So, in a matter of time or about a couple of seconds.That when her tears will be falling like they always do. When I make her cry.Fuck! I am a stupid fucking dick and asshole.Way to go, Jayson? I heard Jaze say in the back of my mind with a growl.Then a couple of minutes go by..."Look! I shouldn't have asked you, and I just kept that in all their years about that day in the hallway." I told her again, trying to keep our peace since we were back to school.I saw her take her hand and rub her face." I am so sorry," I heard her speak, but I wa
Ashely P.O.VAfter I left out of Jayson's truck, I wanted to kick it, open the door again, and then slam it. I wanted to hurt him just like he just broke me. I can't believe he asked me to meet him and then he was rude to me when he thought I slept with Robert. I know for a fact I have not been around that asshole. I don't understand why he keeps saying about him and me? If he paid attention around him. He would know Robert not here anymore. He was the one who tried to hurt Avery because of Camilia. He was one of her follows/ bodyguards. I started walking up towards my house. I didn't want to look behind me. But, if I did, I don't know what I would do. Maybe flip the finger or pick up something and throw it at his truck or go back to him and drive somewhere we can finish what we did in the school parking lot.But I didn't do any of that. I just kept walking up my yard. Once I got to my front door. I jumped when I heard him gun it out of my driveway. I looked back, and he was dr
Ashely P.O.V." I am Bitch!"I am Lover!"I am Child!"I am Mother!'I am Sinner, and I am Saint"I kept hearing my alarm going off on my phone. Finally, I open my tired eyes. I see I was in my bed. Thank God I thought I was with him. He got pissed off and told me to get out of his truck, what I remembered. Also, I walked inside my house, and I saw my dad drinking some brown liquid.But I knew what it was before seeing it because I could smell it. Brown and whiskey. He mixed it this time. So, yeah.My dad started heavy drinking since we all found out mom had cancer. It's been a scary journey and rough knowing my mom has this awful disease. It's a waiting game if she would do the surgery. We told her for a couple of weeks now to get the surgery done? But every time, she shook her head with a no!So, my dad and I would not give up asking her to do the surgery/operation.So, my dad stopped asking and started drinking. He would spend time with us after work all day and when my mom and I
Jayson P.O.V.I wanted to smack that ass when I saw Ashely on the porch. I almost pulled back my hand and pounded that ass! But instead, I kept quiet and waited for her to turn around and see me. Oh, boy, I can't wait to see her expression on her face when she sees me standing here at her front door. That's what happened. I saw her confused, shocked, and annoyed face when she turned around. I wanted to laugh, but I kept my face neutral when talking to myself. That was when I gave her a smirk and a wink.Hello, Princess," I told her with a smug grin, and I started to move closer towards her. But then, I saw her take a couple of steps back, away from me. But I didn't let her get too far from me. I watched the expression on her pale and nervous face.That's when she opened up her mouth, and she started to speak."What are you doing here?" I heard Ashely say with a confused look on her face. I was standing outside of her house. Hmm, I guess she doesn't remember me coming to her house and
Ashely P.O.V.Hour an ago.I didn't think he would show up. Well, then the jokes on me because he showed up at my house. Now he is picking me up. But I still didn't think he would. But I guess I was wrong.So, after I told my parents goodbye and I love them. I started walking towards my front door, and I opened it. Once I started to open my front door. I walked out. That was when I saw Jayson standing outside my front door; he was waiting for me, and he was going to drive me to school. So, you know what happens. Yes, if you guessed it. He picked me up again and sat me in the passenger side of his truck. I didn't fight him, because what's the use? He overpowers me, and he will just grab me again. So, why even try. I am not going to try to test him.So, running away from him? I won't win. I just do whatever I can do to survive against him.So, I was just sitting in his truck and looking out the passenger side window with my hands folded over my chest. So, I am just enjoying the ride w
Ashely P.O.V.I am sitting here watching that asshole walking out of the cafeteria door. I sighed. Why did he have to say that to me?"I am sorry," he said and kissed my forehead, and he left me with my heart beating fast, and I wanted to grab him and kiss him. But he just let go and walked away.I am confused. Part of me wants to run after him, and the other part of me says good to leave. I am torn about what to do. Why do I have to feel anything but hate for him after all these years? How he would torture me and hurt me. I should just stay far away from him."But you can't!" I heard Envy say inside my mind with a smug voice. She is right. I knew she was right. How could I stay away from my mate? I still can't believe he doesn't know it has been me the whole time. I guess he is slow with things. I do hear he doesn't know until you have to tell him. I guess that night when we made love, and I guess he still doesn't know it was me.How can he not know it! I am so fratusted because it
Jayson P.O.V.After I apologized to Ashely, I needed to leave before I went back and grabbed her and hid her up and deep in the woods, and I won't let her out of my sight. But then I thought about the mystery girl. I have not been thinking clearly when I am around Ashely, the girl I used to love, and now I don't know if I hate her anymore. I promise myself I will not fall for her tricks and beautiful face.Fuck! You know how hard not to fall for her over again. I need to breathe and take a deep, calming breath. But, no, I know what I need, and going to the place will help me with my stress and let out some steam. So, I walked out of the school, started walking towards my truck, and pulled out my phone. I need to see Joe, the old trainer, and my grandpa's best friend. So, I started dialing his number.He answered with one ring.Hey Joe, is the bag open." I asked him. He told me to hold on. He was getting a call. I told him okay. So, a couple of seconds later, he returned on the p
Ashely P.O.V.I had a one-track mind and that was what my mom said. "Get her sweetie," my mom repeated in my mind.I felt pride and proud that my parents were here and my friends were. I felt the love and warmth from them. I am blessed and I love them for being here for me."Ready ladies, this round two, I want a clean fight, no biting, scratching, and kicking in the face." Got it. He says.I nodded my head and I bit down on my mouthpiece that I put back in my mouth after I drank water.So when I heard the bell that when I kept moving my feet because I didn't want her to get a hit on me. So, Buddy told me to keep moving, kid! His words, not mine."Kid keep moving them damn feet!" I heard his voice inside my mind or is he yelling out.I watched her coming after me, but I was waiting for her to get close to me. Because I was going to get one good hit and knock her ass out!Come on, bitch! I am waiting for you, I told her with my eyes.She saw it and I saw her face turn red and that
Ashely P.O.V. What is going on here?" I heard my dad say.That is when I looked behind me. Oh, shit, I am in deep shit."Ashley, what is going on here, and Bud, why are you letting our baby fight!" My dad asked him and me.That is when I opened up my mouth and started talking.Dad, Mom!" how did you know I was here?" I ask them.Don't change the subject. Answer our question why are you doing here underground legal fighting?" My dad asks me.I didn't know what to say, so I told them."Can we finish this later? I got to go back in and kick her ass!" I told them, hitting my gloves.So, I need to get back and fight!" I told them, staring at them. They were inside the ring now with Bud and me.When they remembered why they were there, they started to overlook me. I saw my mom's face frown when she saw her. So, yes, they weren't staring at me. So that meant the look on my mom's face she was staring over at Miss. Waters, I am going to fight. She is not happy staring at a grown-ass woma
Ashely P.O.V.I was so lucky Jayson didn't see me today. But now I am getting ready for the fight tonight. I was getting ready to dress when suddenly I heard someone outside my door. Thank God I have clothes on. I just got to put on my mouthpiece and shoes."Ashely? You are here, and I heard the door open." I saw Avery, Natalie, Emilia, and Maria-Ann, whom Maxime's new girl likes to taunt. I hope she kicks his ass soon. Maybe he could stop this going back and forth like a little boy and tell her he wants her instead of taunting and bullying her.Hey, I am right here, girls," I told them when I bent down, putting on my shoes. I had my mouthpiece beside me. I was about to put them in before I heard my friends show up to support me. I never told them I was fighting, and I didn't want them to know. But I could tell from keeping this from them. I hurt our trust, and I don't think they will ever believe me again. But then they were here smiling and hugging me."What are you girls doing her
Ashely P.O.V.I can't believe him! Why would he say that he knows very well he doesn't have feelings for me! Yeah! We mates don't mean he has any feelings for me except for hate. Lust is not the same as love.After the hurt, Jayson did it to me. I started walking away from him. I thought maybe he would come after me as he did before. But when I didn't hear his footsteps. I should feel happy, but instead, I felt disappointed. I went to the library and got some books. I didn't want to see him. I hate him.I hate him.But you miss him? I heard Envy say.Just maybe you missed understanding him. Did you think about that?" Come on now! You know he's not lying to you about what he told you; he has feelings and loves you." She told me to try to make myself see I have been a baby and to listen to my heart and not my stubborn head.Once I got out of the bookstore and went home. I pulled up, and I saw that Jayson was home.Huh, that's weird; he never homes before me, I thought."Wow, I though
Preview:I needed to stop her, but I didn't. I let her say piece, and then once she was done.And when she calms down, I tell her and kiss her and not let her think this is a joke.Because it's not.I tell her I have feelings for her and that I love her.But that didn't happen.Because I was still inside my thoughts at the time, I wanted to tell her how I felt.I looked, and there she was, nowhere to be seen.Jayson P.O.V.Jayson, why would you do this to me," I heard her say before she started walking away? I know I should stop her. But I could not move. I am just shocked how this event happened when I thought she would jump in my open arms, kiss me, and tell me she had feelings for me.But instead, that's not what happened. She went off on me. Telling me she hates me and how could I have been such a cruel, empty person who loves seeing her in pain, but I don't. I stand there with a shocked look on my face.That is not what I pictured would happen. Instead, in my mind, I saw her smil
Jayson P.O.V.Part Two:After the cafeteria scene I ran out of the room, and I needed to talk to Ashely and tell her how I feel.She didn’t give me a chance to tell her how I feel." I heard her say and ran out the door. I didn't know what to think but I went after her. So, I didn't wait until my friends and others and her friends asked me questions. So, I got up off the bench and ran after my princess.I was out of the lunchroom when I saw her hair bouncing out the side door going towards the woods. Ahh, there you are?" I said out with a grin on my face.I was walking out the school doors. I saw her hair running into the woods. I should have known.“Hey! she was letting Envy out to run?” I heard what Jaze told me excitedly.“ Let me out !” He demanded that I switch with him. I rolled my eyes and I started running in the woods before I lost her.Hour of running in the woods. I stopped and I lifted my head and I breath the air trying to smell her scent. That's when I smelled her. She
Ashely P.O.V.Once class was over. I got up off the seat. I thought Jayson did. I was in my thoughts when I heard my other half. I wanted to roll my eyes at her.Envy!“Seriously, could you not say anything nice to me today." I told her.“Yes, I can."“So, why don't you then?" I asked her.“Like I said I can, but I won't." She said laughing at me.I growl under my breath.I can't believe he took up for me in front of the whole class with the people who could see there was something going on with us.Well, if you have two eyes of course they could see what went down in science class in Mr. Smith classroom! Duh" I heard Envy.Now! could you not do this today. I don't need your lip today." I got too stressed to hear your smart-ass remarks and make fun of me!" I told her with hurt in my voice and pissed off tone.“Hey! Now, you don't have to get pissed off. I mean he just helped you in front of the classroom in front of your classmates." She tells me.She does have a point but you are sti
Ashely P.O.V."All right nice for you to tell us about your old friends!""Okay thank you both, go take your seats" I heard Mr. Smith says.I saw Maria-Ann trying to move but her feet were stuck on the ground. So, I stood up and went up there and helped her."Hey, come sit with us!" I told her with a friendly smile. I didn't want her to think I am one of those mean girls like that movie Regina. I don't remember her last name, but I got her first name right lol."Oh, thank you,'' she said with a sweet smile on her face.Once we started walking away, I didn't see Maxime, but he was staring at her with a predator eye. So, if she walks closer, I am afraid he will grab her and do whatever he can to her.I could feel Maria-Ann shaking when she was walking. I thought she would pass out but then we were walking toward her seat. That's when something happened.I remember hitting the ground. Ouch! I thought. But then I heard growl and I saw Jayson in Maxime's face and he shoved him into the wal
Ashely P.O.V.I was sitting down right beside my friends when suddenly someone knocked on the door. I saw a dark curly hair light-skinned girl walking inside the classroom, and I saw that it was a pretty petite girl with crystal blue eyes and freckles on her face. I noticed she was a tiny fairy to me. I had a feeling she must be half veela and a half-werewolf. "Hello, welcome; I am Mr. Smith!" You must be Maria Ann Stevens," I heard him tell her with a kind smile.She blushed and looked away and spoke under her breath."Hello, yes I am." but I am sorry for being late, Mr. Smith," she told him in a sweet and small voice.She is a small girl, maybe five foot and a hundred pounds maybe less. She is a tiny thing. I know I am, and Emilia is the tallest in our friend group, but wow, she's like a little tinker bell."It's okay, Miss. Stevens before we start. How about coming up in front of the class and telling us who you are and where you're from?" Mr. Smith told her with a smile.She star
