Logan's POV.I looked around and couldn't see Tonia anywhere. Where had she gone? I saw her running out earlier? Had she gone home? I hope she wasn't with King Jayden anymore. Why did he even gain such sudden interest in her and go as far as touching her that way?He should count himself lucky that he was a powerful King, if not, I would have taught him a lesson he would never forget.I wondered how he had lasted so long in that position with such an insulting attitude. I would not be the only one to ruin him once he falls."Tonia is more despicable than I thought!" Lisa suddenly spat.She had pure hate in her voice and I didn't blame her. She was my mate and deserved to be treated well, but the circumstances surrounding us weren't good at all."Lisa, you shouldn't get agitated, especially because of the baby," I whispered and held her hand.She yanked her hand away from mine and snapped, "I shouldn't be sitting here among these people. I should be with other reputable Lunas, but ins
Tonia's POV I hoped he couldn't hear how loud my heart was beating right now. Sitting so close to Jayden wasn't easy, and Olivia made matters worse by not even accompanying us. She was a darling for helping me pack my things from that cheater's house but I wished she had come along with us. "Do you always behave this way when you're nervous?" His majectic voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I glanced at him, and he had this amused expression. I shook my head. "What? I don't understand." "You keep playing with your fingers and biting your lip sometimes," He noticed. I immediately released my bottom lip and separated my hands."I'm sorry," I quickly apologized. "You do not have to be sorry for being nervous, you should just know that I do not entertain bullying in my kingdom or around me.""I'm not going to let anyone harm you or speak badly to you." He spoke with such authority, I almost believed him. "You might be the king but you can't control everyone's actions," I blurte
Tonia's POV.Logan wouldn't come for me. He was obviously carried away by Lisa, why would he want me back? But the maid just mentioned that the Alpha wanted something that Jayden took for him. "I took what belonged to him?" Jayden asked with a confused look on his face. "Yes, he kept repeating that and keeps calling what you took his love or wife..." My heart started beating faster as my fear seemed to be confirmed. It was Logan. Logan was here for me, but I was certain that Jayden wouldn't let him take me. This could get bloody. "Jayden," I breathed heavily. He didn't respond but held my waist firmly and effortlessly lifted me onto the piano. The instrument made off-tune melodies as my body pressed against the cold keys. "Stay here, okay?" He held up my chin and instructed. Then he turned to the maid and said, "Let him in." My heart almost stopped at his instruction. Why would he let Logan in? "Jayden, no—" "Stay here," He repeated and walked away before I could stop him
Tonia's POV."What!" I exclaimed in shock. I clenched the sheets beneath me as beads of sweat formed on my skin. This was worse than I thought. "What will I do now?" I asked, my voice trembling. "Luna, please don't mind what she's saying," The second maid chimed in. "What?" I became confused. "King Jayden is not wicked person and you don't have to run away from him. She's just trying to scare you because she can't accept that he has you now," The maid explained. I was still confused. "Tina had a crush on his majesty and she is not happy that you are here. She has been convinced for a long time that the king would never find a mate since he had nearly passed his mating stage," She explained further, shocking me.I glanced at Tina, and she lowered her gaze. "She's just trying to scare you. I know the king might seem harsh at times but he always has a good reason and he's also nice to us all. He doesn't harass us like other Pack leaders do, he's very respectful and fair," The se
Tonia's POV."Jayden," I called with a concerned tone. "Jayden," I repeated and shifted a bit. He stopped kissing my neck and our eyes locked. "Yes, my Queen?" I didn't know what happened at that moment but whatever I wanted to say vanished and I quickly looked away. The way in which he called me his queen sounded so wonderful, but I knew I shouldn't be enjoying it. I turned my gaze to the spot where I saw Alpha Keith, but he was gone. What? Was I imagining things? "Antonia, is there a problem?" He asked softly. I lied, "No, there isn't." I wasn't sure if he was there from the beginning, so there was no need to worry Jayden. "Are you sure?" Jayden whispered. I could feel his warm breath closely. "Yes, I am," I replied nervously. "Okay. I guess that we should start heading to the stables," He said. "Hold on tight, we're going to go faster than before. "What?" I gasped. "Just trust me," He beamed before urging the horse forward at full speed. "Woah!" I screamed when the
Tonia's POV. What was Alpha Keith talking about? Was he out of his mind? "Luna, please don't step out of the car no matter what," One of the guards instructed. My heart pounded even more violently at his words. How could he expect me to stay here? "Where are both of you going?" I panicked. "We have to get rid of them. His Majesty gave us a duty to take care of you, and you must not get hurt, even if it costs our lives," The guard driving, said and unbuckled his seatbelt. "No, you can't do that. Can't we try to drive backward—" "There's another car behind us," He cut me off. I took a good look around and realized that we were really surrounded. How were they going to fight so many werewolves? They were outnumbered. I shook, "I want to help you.""You can help us by staying in the car and coming out under no circumstances." They both immediately exited the car before I could even argue. What did I even want to argue about? I had no fighting skills and could hardly defend m
Jayden's POV. A floral scent suddenly filled the room and I almost forgot how to breathe properly. The intoxicating floral scent belonged to my mate. It was the most beautiful scent that I had ever perceived. It was always warm and sweet. I turned my gaze to the door and found Antonia standing there as expected. I smiled at first, but then I noticed the hurt look on her face. Oh no! She had misunderstood things. "Antonia," I called and pushed Leah gently away from me. "I'm sorry for interrupting. I'll come back...you can continue," She stuttered and ran out. "Antonia, wait!" I yelled and ran after her. I got out of the room and caught up with her. I tried holding her arm, but she jerked my hand away aggressively. "Don't touch me!" She snapped and stepped away from me. I was surprised and hurt by her outburst."Antonia, it's not what you think —"I tried to explain, but she cut me off. "Why do you all say that?" She cried out with pain in her voice. "Antonia, please let me
Jayden's POV.I had been unable to sleep since my conversation with Antonia, and Draven was making things worse by scolding...no, roasting me alive."You told her she was jealous. What's wrong with you?" "I didn't say anything wrong, it was obvious that she was jealous. I just wanted her to see that she had feelings for me, even if she kept denying it!" I snapped, tired of his rebuke."Oh come off it! No male in his right senses tells a woman that. You really have no good experience with women at all..." He growled in frustration."Can you stop acting like you've been doing anything to help?" I frowned. "You didn't stop me when I wanted to mention jealousy, did you?""You never listen to me. I'm sure that if I didn't push you to sleep with her that night, you wouldn't have done it!" He argued."You just keep messing things up. We had time earlier to spend with her, but you had to come solve some 'pack affairs' as if the pack would come to an end if you did nothing!" Draven snarled."
Jayden's POV.I had gotten myself into trouble. I should have thought twice before suggesting this.I looked back at Antonia, and she had not even noticed anything."I wonder if the water will be warm or cold," She said, walking slowly into the water.I watched the water envelope her entire legs, leaving the rest of her glorious body visible."The water is warm," She giggled, flapping her hands in it. "I can't believe that it's glittering in my hands.""Jayden, come here and see this," She invited and looked at me.My face paled and I quickly turned my back on her. I couldn't let her see that I had a full blown erection right now.It wasn't just embarrassing but insulting. I just wished that I could control it more like I controlled my wolf."Fuck!" I cursed."Jayden, are you okay?" She asked, and I sensed when she moved deeper into the water.Oh no! did she suspect something?"Yes, I'm fine. I just have a little cramp in my leg," I lied."It must be so painful," She mouthed with a wo
Jayden's POV.I heard her yelp from outside the training place, and I rushed inside like a mad man. When I entered, I was surprised to see Ryker holding her so closely. I didn't expect them to get so close. I interrupted whatever was going on, and Antonia looked at me in shock. "Jayden." I shouldn't feel any jealousy right now because I knew they were training, but my wolf wasn't helping my emotions. Draven had always been possessive, and right now, he wanted to take Antonia out of Ryker's grasp and slam his face against a wall. But I was glad that I could put him in control. "Jayden!" Antonia screamed this time and ran over to me. My heart pounded as she approached me. I missed her so much. I thought of her every moment that I was stuck in that place. "Antonia," I grinned and widened my arms. She fell into my arms and wrapped her hands tightly around me. "Jayden, you are back," She laughed. "Yes Antonia, I am back," I laughed as well. I wrapped my arms around her and in
Tonia's POV. I couldn't focus on my breakfast, or rather my brunch after learning that I would be training with that unbearable Lycan for the next few days. I had been so sad and upset about this sudden change. I was also worried about Jayden. Jayden had always tried to spend time with me, so I was very surprised to hear that he wouldn't be returning. Something bad must have happened for him to take such a drastic decision. I also doubted that he would willingly leave me alone with that nasty piece of work. "I just hope that he's fine," I bit my lip anxiously. "He didn't sound good earlier," I said worriedly."What if something bad is happening?" I shivered. "I think I should call him, hearing his voice would give me some reassurance." I dropped my fork and grabbed my phone from the table. I called his number, but it was unavailable. "Unavailable?" I panicked. I called him again, but it said the same thing. I dialed his number up to ten times, but it was always the same 'un
Tonia's POV. "I am not training with you until I talk to Jayden!" I didn't wait for him to reply, I just ran to my room. I took my phone and called Jayden. He answered after a few dials. "Jayden, how are you? How is your brother?" I questioned in a worried tone. It must have been very serious for him to leave at midnight. I just wished that he came to wake me up before leaving the mansion. "We are fine," He sighed. I didn't believe his words at all. He sounded tired, and there was some noise in the background. I just hoped there wasn't a war over there. That would be so horrible. "Are you sure that you're fine? You don't sound good," I quizzed. "I'm just tired," He responded briskly. "Antonia, I have to go. Please take care of yourself and do whatever Ryker asks you...""I am sorry for disappointing you today." "I don't mind—" The call disconnected before I could complete my sentence. "What just happened? Is he fine?" I asked, feeling very concerned. The door suddenly
Tonia's POV."Excuse you?!" Ryker glared at Jayden. "There's no way that I'm teaching this rude, silly—" "You're the rude one here!" I snapped. "Everything about you screams rudeness...you're very unpleasant!" I had never been so angry since Logan made fool of me. And I had never felt so nauseated like I was right now. He was rude, mannerless, and he didn't even see a need to hide his disgusting attitude. I heard everything he said about me last night, and I had never felt angrier. I wondered why he became friends with someone as wonderful as Jayden. I overheard how he defended me yesterday, and it made me trust him more. "You're the only unpleasant one here! You are an abomination to every one of our species!" Ryker insulted. "Ryker, that's enough!" Jayden shunned. "No, it's not. I want him to continue ranting like an idiot. I enjoy watching you make a fool out of yourself! Disgusting twat!" I affronted without restraint. "Stupid piercings!" I added. His expression turned d
Jayden's POV. It was wrong to think of my mate that way, but I couldn't stop myself. It seemed like reality was more concerning than I thought. My enemies had always tried finding a weakness in me, and Antonia would certainly be their target.In times of war, she would be helpless,and I would have to think of ways of keep her safe."What am I going to do about this?" I asked, running my hands through my hair."How would the people, and others react when they find out she doesn't have a wolf? My family don't know that detail, and Leah couldn't suspect that because she doesn't have a wolf yet," I thought restlessly."She doesn't just lack a wolf, but doesn't seem to have basic survival instincts. She hardly notices me around her until I speak. This is bad," I mumbled, feeling more agitated than ever."But I can't give up on her. She's my mate, and I have to help her," I asserted, and stood to my feet."I had promised to help in reviving her wolf, but how do I do that? I couldn't even
Jayden's POV. "Ryker!" I grabbed his shoulder and made him face me. "What was that about?!" I snapped, glaring at him. I didn't expect him to behave so rudely towards Tonia. "You promised to behave yourself when you meet her. Why are you acting this way?" I rebuked. "Jayden, can you hear yourself?" Ryker shot back. "You said that she was a werewolf." "You never said that she was an omega!" "I didnt think that such an information was important," I raised my voice. I was so angry at him right now. "Are you for real? How can you even say that such information isn't important?" He thundered and bit the piercing on his lip. "She's an omega, what's wrong with that?" I demanded. "She's my mate and that's all that matters to me." "To you? What about the pack? How can the lowest rank in all of Lycanthrope rule over us?!" He argued. "Antonia is an intelligent woman, and I'm sure that she'll do her best for this pack," I defended my mate. "No one cares for her intelligence. We are i
Tonia's POV. Did I hear him right? "What did you just say?" I gasped. "Antonia, I want you to be by side at all times." He replied. I didn't want that. It would be harder to resist him. "Jayden, I will be fine and you do not have to be with me twenty-four-seven. I have the guards and they will protect me." He didn't still look convinced. "Jayden, please don't worry about me." I quickly added. "I don't want to act controlling, so I'll trust you," He caressed my cheeks. "But I still want you to stay with me tonight." Sweat formed on my skin,and I felt the air become more thick.How was I going to survive spending a night with him? Sharing the same bed? I was already tempted by his handsome face, and having a hard time resisting all his charm. How would he even control himself? I knew very little about Lycan sexuality, but I knew he was having a hard time controlling himself. What was the guarantee that something wouldn't happen tonight? "I promise not to touch you," His vo
Tonia's POV.It had been an hour since I returned home with Leah, and still, no one had called to tell us anything about the person that took my picture. Back at the shopping mall, It seemed like I wasn't the only one who saw him because the second he ran out of the shopping mall, Timothy chased after him. Timothy didn't come back as fast as we expected, so Nath decided to bring us home. But since I returned, I had been so restless. I wondered who the person was and what he wanted to do with pictures.I hoped this wasn't another Alpha that didn't like Jayden. I was starting to feel unsafe with dangerous enemies lurking around. I knew Jayden was a king, and he had a lot of enemies, but it had not even been up to two weeks since Alpha Keith's attack. Why were they also targeting me? Was it because I was Jayden's mate and an easy target? "Tonia," I heard Leah's voice and lifted my gaze. "You should stop thinking about what happened. I'm sure that Jayden and the guards will take ca
