Jia's PovI was feeling restless from the morning. It had been 4 days, since I left Southern Moon pack, away from my only friends, away from Kevin, and away from my so-called mate. Though I was happy to be away from him, I missed Kevin too. His innocent face brought happiness to me, and made me forget my emptiness.Vik can't you come back, please come and take me in your arms once, just once...I will be strong after that... please..."Oh goddess Jia, what happened?" Mom came and switched off the stove.I was so lost in my thoughts that the whole chicken had burned into a black mass right in front of my eyes giving out the strong burnt tar smell and black smoke."I..I am so sorry...mom...I...""It's OK Jia, no problem, I....I will clean this up. Umm....." She stopped what was she saying and looked at me with concern. She masked her emotions and forced a smile on her lips. "Sweetie, why don't you go in the open air and water the plants in the garden? I will cook something for us." She s
Samantha Kent's pov (Viktor's mom)I kept knocking on the door, but this girl was not ready to open up. Goddess is that Alpha telling the truth? We need to confirm with Jia first, but this girl...."Jia open the door child, I am here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone," Mark told her knocking at the door.She opened the door and stood there, her whole body trembling, her beautiful face worn out with tears and her brown eyes, red and swollen. I can't see her like this. She was not able to stand on her own. Oh! Moon goddess, why you are making her suffer so much?"There is this Alpha outside who claims to be your mate. Is he telling the truth?" Mark asked her calmly. Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks, but she nodded positively."Has he hurt you or abused you in any way?" He asked in a firm voice. She shook her head negatively.I sighed in relief. Thank you goddess for giving my child hope to live, but she should acknowledge it...or else... No. I won't let her ruin her life by livi
I could not believe what I was hearing, I just could not believe what Mrs Kent was telling Jia. She had pushed her towards me, making her stumble. I took hold of her in my arms, supporting her weak body. I had not imagined to face this when I started from home to come here. I had thought they would fight with me or deny me taking my mate with me.. but...the whole situation had left me in shock."Alpha, take your mate from here." Mrs Kent said looking at me. I was confused, a bit angry at the way Mrs. Kent was treating her, and ya...a bit disheartened. She was crying.. I was holding her in my arms, her whole weight was on me..not that I minded..but she was vibrating with each hiccup..."Let's go Luna" I wanted to take her away."I need to...take my stuff.." she whispered between her sobs."You are not taking anything from here." Mrs Kent said turning her face from us. What the hell! Well, I can buy her world. Thank you very much we don't need anything from here. I took her towards our
When I opened my eyes and saw him sitting on the chair beside my bed, sleeping with his head dangling. I was in my room, the whole place was engulfed in darkness. It must be late in the evening or maybe at night. I didn't even have my mobile to check the time. It was at Mom an....it was at Mr Kent's place.I sighed looking at him. He was taking the role of my brother way too seriously. Thank you, Viktor for sending me someone, whom I can always rely on. I remembered how he had kneeled beside me, how he had supported me. I can never be thankful enough to both of them, he and Brit"Jake" I tried to wake him up. He got up with a jerk after I had called out his name twice again."What....what happened?" He looked here and there taking in the surroundings and his eyes fell on me. "Jia...are you all right? Do you need anything?""I am fine Jake" I said sitting up on my bed"I am ok now. You should go and sleep. Brit must be waiting for you."He nodded, "let me know if you need anything" he
Vincent's POV"The most eligible Bachelor and cargo King, Richard Stanford can't keep his hands off his lady love Kelly Brooke at a Charity event." She read the headlines loud, trying her best to sound unaffected, and handed me my iPad.But she was affected hah! Yes, she was jealous, I could see it in her eyes. Mate bond was definitely working between these two and that's what I wanted to confirm. I had purposely shown her that particular article, There was nothing between Kelly and Bro, but should I tell her that? Huh! I will have to I guess or else bro will kill me.I cleared my throat. "There is nothing between them, it's just you know how paparazzi works.""Yes, of course, I know." She started fiddling with some of her clothes in the closet, trying her best to arrange them but they collapsed down just like her defense, her pretense to show me she was not bothered. She closed the closet door with a thud, leaving things as they were."Can I have that for some time?" she asked pointi
Jia's Pov"Do you, Jia Davis take Alpha Richard Stanford as your mate and as your Alpha.""Y..yes""Do you accept your role and responsibilities as Luna of Southern Moon pack and stand strong beside your mate and Alpha.""Yes""Do you promise to be loyal and faithful to your mate and will always put the well-being and benefits of your pack members above your own self.""Yes.""Southern moon pack members, I present you your Alpha and Luna." There was a huge uproar amongst the crowd.I was standing in front of three elders, wearing the most amazing white gown that was picked up by Luna Joyce, in fact Luna and Jess had done all the preparations and had made an ugly duckling of me into a beautiful swan. Elders, were doing our rituals, Richard had already taken his blood oath for his title as Alpha. Alpha Norman had handed him his position.It was my turn then, one of the Elder had made a small cut on my hand and placed it on Richard's hand, which was cut the same as mine, as our hands and
Jia's Pov"You need to go deeper Luna", He said as I was not able to mark him deep. I was trembling, shaking due to anxiety, I felt as if not an iota of energy was there in my body. I tried again, extended my fangs, and sunk them deep into his flesh, rupturing a few veins, giving me a taste of his blood.The emotions that were flowing between us were dense, raw, and palliative. Our eyes were locked again, brown against green, there were some new emotions in those dilating green, but soon they were captured by.... sadness..was he sad that I had marked him? He just went away leaving me alone on the stage, alone in front of the whole pack, alone to answer all the questioning eyes... Viktor....help me'I want mate' Ara whimpered 'Ya ya, princess, your prince just left you alone' I said with a roll of my eyes_____________Richard POVI was in LOVE with her... someone Help ME...As soon I was hit by the awareness of my feelings, I was realizing that they were one-sided, they won't be reci
I looked at Brit and Jake and huffed. I don't know what more I need to face. How am I supposed to stay with him? In. A. Same. Room. I will go mad one day.'I don't mind' Ara squealed with excitement. I acted as if I didn't hear that"Ummm, I will drop you at his room" Jake said and we went outside.I and Brit followed him I didn't know where his room was so I followed Jake to the top floor, he stood in front of a black double door and we all looked at each other.Someone cleared his throat behind us and we turned to look behind.Richard stood there just in his shorts, they were back from the midnight run. His muscles bulging, still covered in a bit of fur. He looked deadly, savage. His eyes...they were... BLUE...just like.....but just then they turned into green, forest green.He looked at us with confusion, so I asked him."You asked, to move my stuff in your room?""WHAT?? NO...I mean no...no I didn't ask anyone to move your stuff in ...in my...room"I was even more confused, if h
