ZADEN She was paler than usual. No, scratch that, she looked like death. Her breathing was laboured and her injury wouldn't stop bleeding. We hadn't bonded as mates, but I could feel her pain. She was dying, I could feel it. For the past one hour, she had been silent. I pressed my shirt to her wound, clenching my jaw when she let out a small whimper. At this point, she looked small... broken. I had never seen her in such a state. Maybe that's why it hit me hard."Rhea did this to you, didn't she?" I said and she exhaled shakily. "I let her catch me off guard" she croaked, opening her eyes."Why would you do that? You know she's dangerous" I said and Thalia rolled her eyes, even in such a pitiful state."It's a mistake I regret. I can't wait to get my claws on her" she wheezed. "You're not healing, Thalia" I pointed out and she scowled at me. "Don't you think I know that?" She said. "You don't look so good" I told her and she chuckled painfully. "Aww, look at you... concerne
JADEN When her knees gave out, I rushed to her side and broke her fall. I held her in my arms as she buried her face against my chest. Her tears dampened my shirt as she clutched my shirt tightly. Through the mind link, I called for the pack doctor, Haru and Dana. "Please, Jaden. Save our children. Please. Please. Please" my Luna kept begging me with tears still running down her cheeks. "Come in!" I yelled at the sound of the knock on the door. Haru, Dana and Kim, the pack doctor walked in.Kim rushed to my side and knelt down beside Rhea. She communicated with Haru and Dana through eye contacts. Haru and Dana moved closer to Rhea to comfort her. "It's okay, Jaden. You can leave her to us" Kim said to me as she slipped on her gloves. Rhea let out a small whimper that made my heart squeeze. She tightened her grip on my shirt and shook her head slowly. "Don't go" she whispered and I pursed my lips, my gaze meeting Kim's brown eyed gaze. "She wants me to stay" I said and she no
RHEA "So, what are you going to do? Kill our first son once he's born?" He asked and my breath caught in my throat. He stared at me, his gaze Intense. I didn't know what he wanted me to say. In fact, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't bring myself to think about murdering my child. I wasn't a monster. How could he ask me such a thing? "Rhea" Jaden sighed as I sat up. "I don't expect you to do something like that. You're not a monster" he said and I lowered my gaze, my hand resting on my baby bump. I pursed my lips at the thought of our son becoming a monster, just like the prophecy had foretold. "We have to do something about this, Jaden. I feel like there's something we don't know" I said and he nodded. "I know. We're going to figure it out, I promise" he said and I let out a sigh. I rose to my feet and wrapped my hair up in a bun. I shed my clothes and started to head towards the bathroom. I paused by the door, my fingers lingering around the door knob. "Aren't you comi
RHEA Jaden's brows were furrowed into a frown. I tugged at his arm, wanting to leave the premises as quickly as possible. "I'm talking to you," the vampire hissed and I clenched my fist. "You must be mistaken. I do not know you," I said. The vampire's confusion was mirrored on his facial features. I took Jaden's hand and pushed past the bedazzled vampire. Once we were out of the hall, a man in a black suit approached us. Jacobi, the clan leader of the dragon shape shifters who had made a pact with our pack."Mr. Blackwood," he said and exchanged handshakes with Jaden. "Can we talk privately? It's important," he said and Jaden turned to look at me. I forced out a smile. "It's okay. I'll be fine on my own. I'll just wait in the car," I told him. "Rhea..you can just..."I took his hand in mine and gazed into his eyes. "I can take care of myself. I'm a big girl. Now, go" I said and he nodded. I watched him walk away with Jacobi. Then, I let out a long sigh and pulled my shawl
RHEA "You two know each other?" Jaden and Daniel echoed, a frown on their faces. I stared at Stefan and he did the same. Neither of us was willing to speak first. "Are you just going to stare all day? Say something, Rhea" Jaden said and I let out an exasperated sigh, tucking a lock of hair behind my left ear. "Once upon a time...we dated" I said and Jaden's eyes went wide."What? But... you said...""We went out on a date once and I agreed to be his girlfriend, but he never saw me again...until today" "That's right, you ditched me" Stefan said and I sighed."Well, at the time I just... I didn't want you to feel bad even though I wasn't particularly interested in being your girlfriend""So, you felt sorry for me? That was it?"Stefan looked hurt. I let out a sigh. "Look, it happened in the past. An apology isn't going to make it better, but I'm really sorry" I said. His gaze drifted and rested on Jaden. Then, it fell back on me."So, you're with him now?" he questioned.Jaden
RHEA Bewildered, I watched my mate as he rushed into the bathroom to puke. Daniel winced. "Whatever he saw can't be good" he said and that dampened my mood even more. Jaden stepped out, his movements slow and unsteady. There were droplets of water on his pale face and his hands were balled into tight fists. He sat down beside me and buried his face in his hands. Without a word, I rubbed his back to comfort him. He remained like that for a while. Stefan wouldn't sat anything either. He sat on the couch and stared at the ceiling with a grave expression on his face. I had so many questions, but I knew I had to hold back. Nearly an hour later, Jaden sat up. He looked exhausted. "You don't have to say anything. We can just go home and figure it out together" I said, still rubbing his back. He heaved a sigh and shut his eyes briefly. "It's okay" he said and I continued to watch him with concern. "It's a curse" he added and my eyes widened."It is? Who is responsible for it?" I aske
RHEA "There's a chance that we can fix things. There's a chance that we can break the curse, Jaden. We should be optimistic about that" I said to Jaden who kept pacing back and forth. He was restless and so was his wolf. I knew this because I could feel it. "Talk to me, what's wrong?" I asked and he shook his head. "I don't know"My frown deepened as his feet came to a halt. He turned to look at me, a worried look in his eyes. "I feel like something bad is going to happen" "What?" He raked his fingers through his hair which had become shoulder length. "I felt like this the day before Zaden set fire to the pack house. I can't shake off this feeling" he said and I walked up to his side."I know I sound like I'm insane. But, I'm not. Something feels wrong" I entwined my fingers with his and gazed into his eyes. I pressed a kiss to the corner of his lips and ran my fingers through his silky hair using my free hand."I believe you" I whispered. "Whatever it is that's coming,
JADENThey blinked at me, staring at me like I'd gone insane. Still, everything felt like a dream. It all sounded far fetched. I believed that if I wanted to figure it out, I had to meet Rhea in person. I needed to know what was really happening. "So, you're saying that you want to see Rhea" Darryl said, not taking his eyes off me, a frown on his face. "That's what I said"They both exchanged glances, a concerned look on their faces. "She's going to kill you. Do you not understand how dangerous this situation is? Look at yourself, Jaden. You have barely recovered from everything you went through. You were unconscious for two weeks. We only just got you back. Now, you're saying you want to go to her" He said, his right eye twitching. He was upset. His left eye would twitch each time he was upset. But, if his right eye was twitching...Klaus snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Snap out of it, Jay. Are you even listening?" He asked, his brows furrowed. "What?" I said, confuse
Hey, guys. This book was originally planned to be book one and two combined. However, due to personal reasons, I'm presently unable to write book two. It might take a while before I can upload more chapters. This means that book two will be uploaded next year. Consider the released chapters as sneak peeks. Thanks for your understanding. I apologize to those who have been kept on suspense and have been looking forward to the rest of the chapters. Please, note that this is not the end. Hopefully, I'll be able to complete the book by next year. Have a great day!
JAZMINE It was him, Oliver's twin. He stared at me like he'd just been told that the world was about to end. I wondered why."Hey, what's up? I believe we've met before" I said, holding out a hand for a handshake. He blinked at me, still looking dazed. "Hello?" I said, waving my hand in front of his face. "Right. Nice to see you again... Jazmine" he said, finally accepting my handshake. He had a smile on his face. But, it didn't reach his eyes. I was more curious at this point. "You never said anything about having a twin brother, Oliver. Where have you been hiding him all this time?" I asked."We got separated at some point" Oliver replied, giving me a nervous smile. "You two look so alike. It's almost impossible to differentiate you two" "Almost impossible? You can differentiate us, can't you?" I leaned closer to the twins, squinting my eyes to get a clearer look at them. I gasped at the sight of Xavier's eyes. His eyes were changing every few seconds. They were alternating
XAVIER No matter the angle I tried to look at it, I still couldn't understand why my mate had rejected me. Nothing seemed to be adding up. I was completely clueless. I wasn't unattractive, I knew that. Unless she had something against attractive people, it didn't make sense that she would reject me just like that. Come to think of it, she had asked for my name too. Was she harbouring a vendetta towards people bearing 'Xavier'? Or, was it my last name instead? "I wonder what's going on in your head, you look like you're suffering from a heartbreak" My sister's voice snapped me out of my train of thoughts. She placed a plate of cookies in front of me and sat down on a chair opposite me. I watched her as she picked a cookie and took a bite out of it. "Wow, you really look like you've just been rejected" she stated, looking amused. When I still didn't say anything, her smile faded. "No way. Did a girl reject you?" She breathed, her eyes wide. "For real?!" Oliver exclaimed as he w
JAZMINE 'Who the hell does the bastard think he is?' I thought. This wasn't the first time I was having an encounter with a pervert. I had heard his thoughts as clear as day. It was an ability of mine. The annoying part was that he had claimed to be my mate and when I'd touched him to confirm it, I didn't feel a thing! His scent was weird too. Was it blocked? I couldn't tell. I hoped that we would never cross paths again, because if we did, I would make sure to embarrass him. During lunch break, my best friend and I, stood by our lockers, returning our books to their positions. "You look upset. Did you encounter another pervert?" Sage, my best friend said as she slammed her locker shut. "As a matter of fact, I did." She wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Let me guess, he kept staring at you and tried to touch you?" "Not like that. He was staring at me and then, he claimed that I was his mate.""What? The nerve of him!""He didn't say it out loud though" I said and she sighed. "
XAVIER "Will I be okay, here?" my voice cracked at the end of my statement, a lump lodging itself in my throat. "Look at me, Xavi" mum said, taking my hands in hers. Blinking back the moisture in my eyes, I turned to look at my mum, my brows creased. I was feeling emotional. This was happening a lot, lately. My emotions seemed to be heightened and so did my mood swings. "Just breathe and try to hope for the best. You'll do just fine. I believe in you. Your siblings will be here with you this time. It's going to be easier for you, I promise" mum said to me with hopeful eyes. "I love you, mum. I'll see you later" I smiled, leaning over to give her a kiss on the cheek. "Please, be alright" I heard mum say as she watched me get out of the car. I knew she was always worried about me. So, I decided that I was going to try not to get expelled again.I walked down the hallway, my nostrils already identifying the different scents of the students. The school was for all supernaturals.
XAVIER Pain shot through my whole body when I tried to move. I could feel myself bleeding from all the open wounds on my body. "Fuck" I muttered, as I uncoiled my body and pushed up against the wall of the alley where I'd just been nearly stoned to death. My schoolmates had just tried to kill me because I'd gotten into a fight with the school's beloved, several hours ago. It really wasn't my fault. Jonathon had pushed me to the wall. He had made Zeres upset, what was I supposed to do? I admit that I'd beaten him up, badly. But, I'd apologized, gone through detention and was expelled. I knew they hated me because they were afraid of me. But, it didn't justify the fact that they had attacked me so viciously. I could have fought back. But, there had been so many of them. I had feared that I would commit mass murder if I'd decided to fight back and defend myself. Besides, the red and black pearl bracelet sitting around my right wrist was keeping a leash on my wolf and my will to fig

RHEAI watched the sun sink below the horizon, a smile playing on my lips. I felt fulfilled as a mother and a wife. When our kids turned six months, Jaden and I got married on the beach during sunset. Thirteen years had passed since we got married. Jaden was still as loving as always. Our boys were a carbon copy of their father. They were also very identical. They were different in subtle ways though. Xavier had been growing up to be a well mannered, goodlooking boy. Oliver, our second son, was a little less well mannered. He was a troublemaker, most of the time. Jaden and I hoped that Xavier would continue to remain as charming as he was. We hoped that he would hold on long enough for his mate to finally locate him. In five years, he would be eighteen. He would find his mate and things would be much better and easier for him. "Mum?" I turned to look at Xavier who was standing behind me, holding two glasses of lemonade. He handed me one of them and moved to stand beside me. "Thank
KLAUSFourteen long days had passed since Jaden and Rhea went under. Rhea's fever spiked up once, while Jaden's fever remained unstable. The pack members knew about the complicated situation. They were all worried. There was so much tension in the air. It was noon and I was walking into Jaden's quarters to check on him and Rhea. Kim, the pack doctor was sitting by their bedside looking worried. "Any signs of improvement?" I asked and she shook her head. "Jaden isn't doing so well. He had a nose bleed thirty minutes ago. His fever is rising as well""I want to believe that they will make it out of the mental prison. But, things doesn't look so good for them. I'm worried that..."I cut her off."Let's not think negatively. We just have to hope for a miracle" I said and she lowered her gaze. My phone rang and I picked the call, bringing my phone to my ear. "We found her" Daniel said and I frowned, confused."Who?""The woman whose memory Jaden saw. She can help with the curse of twos"
