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
Jia's PovI was laying on the soft mattress of the bed scrolling through the photographs, me and Vinci took when we went to the mall. I was enjoying my stay at this luxurious adobe as the owner had disowned it. His loss. I saw his and Viktor's photograph. I found myself staring at Richard's face instead of Viktor's, wondering why he stopped coming to his room all of a sudden.He at least used to come and sleep in here but that stopped a week before. He stays in his office now, that’s what I had heard. I explored the whole room last week out of boredom and majorly due to curiosity, going through each drawer and cabinet. I first felt as if I was intruding on his privacy, but then he is not coming back soon and he won't know what I had been doing, isn't it...?I came across quite a few things that amazed me and helped me to know him better. He had a huge collection of books and movies. I had never imagined him to be a reader but as they say, we can’t judge a book by its cover. He definit
COMING AROUND When my eyes flicked open, the brightness around me made me shut them again. Slowly opening a single eye, I looked around. Thank goddess, I was in my room. Yesterday was horrible, I should never drink. But why was my whole body burning, as if it was set ablaze. Was it he who came to help? No... can't be, why will he be there? Then who brought me here?...must be Jake...ya...I was worried.... Something moved behind me making me go stiff and a hand came on my waist, spreading electrifying tickles all over my skin...it can't be...no...no.. please...but I knew who it was. He was there, he brought me here and I looked at my clothes..this is not my T-shirt, he changed my clothes???? I got up from bed at full speed and that made him wake up.. "Wh.. what happened? You are awake? Are you alright?" He asked me with concern, his voice full of sleep My back was facing him. I didn't look behind at him. "Did you change my clothes?" I asked "Huh? Yaaa....I...." "You don't remem
Richard POVFCUK, what the hell just happened? I held my palms in front of my eyes that were still experiencing tickles and were trembling. I had held her face and caressed her cheeks, she had allowed me to do so. Yesterday I had held her in my arms. I hugged myself. I was so happy. Exuberant to be precise. Where I got the courage to do so I don't know...may be I just can't see her in tears.AND. she said we could be friends and she...she does not detest me...she should after all, I had been jerk in front of her but she was not.... isn't she the sweetest? How can she be so amazing...to me...my mate...my Luna... I want to make you happy...just give me one chance, love. I will do anything for you, take all your sorrows.."Someone is whipped" Derek interjected"What?" I asked irritated."Look at you lover boy" he was mocking me"Is it Derek? and who was going berserk last night. If I had not controlled you...""Ya...that..its...not my fault. Heat affects us the most you know." He tried t
