LYRA’S POVThe smile on my face widened as I watched Jayven and Tia fight, gesticulating wildly at each other. My heart filled every time Jayven’s face turned a bright red and Tia said something that enraged him more.My dream come true was coming to life before my very eyes, all because of a bouquet of flowers I ordered. If I knew this was all it took for shit to hit the fan, I would have ordered two.Their voices grew quiet and I strained my ears to pick up on their words, but I was too far away to hear anything. If I left my hiding place, there was a high risk of any one of them noticing, and it would be very obvious that I was eavesdropping on them.Jayven walked away from Tia and I frowned, was it over already? What did I miss? I wanted to know what she said to him that made him run into the forest, so I could exploit it for the next phase of my plan.Tia looked like she wanted to run after him, but she turned and walked back into the pack house looking hurt and pained.I wanted
Tia/Zanna's povWe were both seated at the study, and he didn't seem to be paying attention to what I was working on. However, Vyn sat opposite me. He had a look of severity on his face, and he seemed to be observing my facial expression. "You know you shouldn't have approached him that way, right? He meant no harm, and you know it. You overreacted," I spoke, breaking the silence. He raised his brows, and a confused look furrowed his forehead. "Overreacted?" He questioned, and when I raised my eyes and gave him a glance, he sighed."You're right, but you should understand that I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing this for us. I don't want to lose you," he expressed his heart."Well, I understand your concerns, but it's just a harmless gift, Vyn." "Harmless? You call that harmless. Are you kidding me?" He stood up and paced around, running his hands through his hair. I had a feeling he was unstable, but I decided to watch him."You're calling a romantic gesture harmless, Tia?
Zanna/Tia's PoVJayven and I had been invited to the Black Moon pack’s annual grand ball. It felt weird to say ‘ball’ as if we were in the eighteenth century, but the Luna of the Black Moon pack was an eccentric young lady who liked hosting things like this.It was usually a five hour journey if we drove and about two if we travelled in our wolf skin. No one wanted to arrive at a party sweaty and smelly, so we sat through the longer drive.I stared out of the window, painfully aware of the man taking up space beside me. Jayven was as quiet as I was, focused on whatever he was doing on his phone.We hadn’t spoken properly after I told him I didn’t want to get married, and Tia hadn’t shut up about it in my head.“Now you’re giving me attention? How unbecoming of the little omega” She wailed dramatically, raising her head from her paws. “If I didn’t know any better, I would have said you weren’t ignoring me”“I was.” I admitted. “You weren’t ready to give me a listening ear, and I didn’t
TIA’S POVTia laughed like a hyena in my head, wheezing like a broken engine. “Are you kneeling in front of our mate?! Oh my goddess, look at his face.”Jayven’s face and neck were red, and I noticed the people staring our way. “Shut up Tia! I’m mortified as it is, what was I thinking? I don’t even have a ring.”“You don’t have a ring?! That’s the biggest problem here?” Tia rolled on her back, filling my head with her mocking laughter. “You’re proposing to our mate in front of a hundred guests and a non-existent ring is your problem?”“I hate you.” I blocked her taunting voice, and focused on our mate who hadn’t said a word.“Jayven, if you’re going to reject me, I would like to be told early because this position isn’t easy to maintain and everyone is looking at us.”As if snapped out of his thoughts, Jayven jerked, lifting me up by my arm. “I should be the one proposing to you, not the other way round.”“I didn’t know you were a sexist.” I wrinkled my nose, keeping my eyes on the st
Zanna/Tia’s PoVFor someone who refused to get married, I was everywhere at once trying to spearhead the preparations for our big day. Jayven didn’t mind leaving this part to me, but I suspected he didn’t want me dragging him around town to taste cake and wine.Lyra was my companion for the day, and she followed me quietly, nodding at the things I said I liked without giving her input. Her attitude was strange, and Tia growled in my head several times when I caught her watching me. Weird“I don’t like her” Tia growled, stomping the floors of my mind. “She makes my hair stand on edge.”“She hasn’t done anything to warrant my suspicion.” I said calmly. “She has been watching me since we left the pack, like she’s expecting something to happen.”“The old Tia, which is yours, truly would never spare her a second glance, and there was no way in hell I would have allowed her to replace Dina.”I hummed. “Alphas are very particular about who they allow in their space and who they keep in their
JAYVEN’S POVMy legs bounced around, and I gripped my thighs to calm my nerves. Slade and I were in the meeting room, going over our rotation plan. We made the decision to enhance the security after the incident with the humans building on our land. The rotation was a new plan so we revised on it every month, going over what we could do better and the areas where we were doing well. Our guard set up seemed to be working fine aside a few.“What’s the issue with Gomez and Shaw?” I asked Slade, frowning at the notes he had made. “I thought they had gotten over whatever was wrong. Is there a problem I am not aware of?”Slade sighed, “They say they have gotten over what they refuse to talk about, but I don’t think they’re a great fit. We’re rotating so there’s no problem if we pair them with other people.”“You think Gomez fits right with Sarah?” I raised my brow. “Gomez is a six-foot beta with a huge stick up his ass and Sarah is one of our few Omegas who has shown great strength in our
Jayven’s PoV“What the fuck are you doing here?” I snarled. “Don’t you have better things to do than stalk me all day?”Lyra bit back a smile. “I know you would love to hear me say I am stalking you, but this time I am not. I want to go pick up my grandmother from the border.”I cursed, pinching the bridge of my nose. I knew I was missing something in the meeting, now I was stuck with Lyra. Slade would have gladly offered to take my place if he was here, but he was busy and I didn’t want to bother him with my problems.“I had no idea your grandmother was coming. There are other pack members who will be going to the border, if you wait-”“I’m sorry but you’re not getting out of this so easy.” Lyra smiled. “The Beta is supposed to escort us to the border, if he’s not available, another higher ranked wolf is supposed to protect us.”“There is no threat that you need protecting from.” I grinded my teeth together, desperately trying to find the best way to get out of this situation, “I can
Jayven's povMy eyes widened, confusion spreading across my face. What the hell was going on, and what did the woman mean by our baby?Was my hearing bad, or did I hear what the old lady said correctly? This was something I didn't quite understand.My heart drummed, but I could only turn to Lyra. She was the only one that could have said some to make the woman think that way.Without thinking twice, I grabbed her arm, and pulled her away to where no one would be able to hear us even if it wasn't so far away. She was going to explain to me why her grandmother thought I was the father of her baby. Was she even pregnant? "What did she mean by our child? What the hell is going on, what did you--"She rested her hands on my shoulder, eyes staring into mine with a playful smile on her lips. "Relax..." She sighed. Her smile didn't fade but I was waiting for an explanation. "Relax. I'm not pregnant... Yet. But I will be soon enough," She explained."Shut the fuck up! No one is getting to ha
Jayven's pov.I walked into the room and noticed Tia on the bed. She was looking ravishing in her sexy red lingerie, but she seemed to be in thoughts because her eyes were up towards the ceiling.I furrowed my brows, walking slowly towards where she was, and she still seemed to be quiet. She was deep in thoughts, but her left leg was raised, revealing her thighs which made me feel extra needy."Tia?" I called, and she immediately turned her face towards where I stood. I furrowed my brows, but as soon as she set her eyes on me, she immediately sat up, wearing a smile to cover her thought filled expression I noticed earlier."Vyn, your back!" She exclaimed, and I nodded, but then she bit her lower lip, pressing her lip afterwards."Um, I'm so sorry. I didn't notice when you came in. I was..." "In thought?" I asked, and she nodded gently. "Well, what are you thinking about?" I tried to inquire, but stopped when she came out of the end and walked towards where I was.However, I lifted
Tia's pov.I was in high spirit. The sun slowly started to come down, and I found myself smiling over everything. Well, why wouldn't I? I was waiting for Vyn to return so I could show him the little surprised I had planned for him.I bit my lips just thinking about it. Well, I was actually preparing for a lot of things. I knew there was a need for things to fall back in place. Well, for a while, I was still thinking about what to do before I stood up.I knew he was shaken to return home, and that was why I stated to get ready. I got into the shower and made sure to take a clean bath using scented soups because I wanted him to understand that I wasn't here to play. I wanted him tonight.Once out of the bath, I moved towards my closet and pulled out the lingerie I had bought specially. I wanted him to see me on me, and wow. I wanted to see his eyes pop out of his socket."I'm sure he'll go crazy. Trust me, I know that," i explained and smiled. I didn't even know what to say about it. I
Jayven's povI looked around, my heart drumming. Something seemed off, there was definitely another presence here, and something told me it was not my kind. I felt strange, and the scent was different.My eyes studied the path the shadow followed, and I found myself already going in that path. My heart raced as I ran, sweat forming on my forehead. Whatever it was wasn't a werewolf.It was some kind of were-animal, but it was running so fast that I couldn't notice it."Are you sure you don't know what that is?" My wolf asked as we ran. However, I was more focused on catching it first.I wanted to know what it was doing at the border,and I needed to find a way to get some truth out of whoever it was.Its structure seemed like a werewolf but it was not. However, I didn't give you hope. I was going to run as fast as I could and make sure I caught up to him. The race was becoming harder with him going in-between trees to block my path. Yet I wasn't bothered.Suddenly, I found a way to int
