Hello. There will be no update tomorrow. Needed to change some outline since the angst was cut super short and the plot has changed. Haaalp! TT I actually fried my brain for this chapter so I needed that brain rest tomorrow too. Sorry it couldn’t be resolved within one chapter but I did try to soften the angst so you guys would at least be at ease.^^ I wouldn’t want to rush it but I won’t prolong it either so please don’t worry.^^ Take care everyone! <333
Sophia’s POV“Jacob said he ignored you for three months, but he’ll only ignore me for three weeks.”Hatchett suddenly popped up in front of me while I was eating with Ricky and Yarrow. What does she want now!?! Can’t I have at least a day off from not seeing her annoying face?! Even at weekends, I could still see her! Since my oh-so-second chance mates wouldn’t let me go home. They’re probably scared about my brothers. Well, as they should.“Good noon to you too, our beloved vice president,” I uttered while my sole attention was still on my food. Ignore everything, but not the food!“Jealous?” She chimed.“Nope. Why would I? As you said, he's ignoring you for three weeks, so I’m actually happy.” I beamed, and that ticked her off. She was about to slap me but Ricky caught her hand. Hatchett scowled at him, but he just said with a haughty voice, “We’re at the university, Hatchett. Mind your conduct. People are watching.” He moved his head sideways to gesture at the students.She gave m
Sophia’s POVWe arrived at the entrance, and Hatchett was there. Brows furrowed, and her face frowned when she saw my arms linking with Jacob’s.“Dear? What is the meaning of this?” She awkwardly chuckled as she glared at me but shot questioning looks at Jacob.“I already said don’t call me that!” He roared, and the students that were just passing by or were only about to enter stopped. They whispered amongst themselves as they once again witnessed their fickle Spade.“You dare go with her!?” She made big strides and was about to slap my mate, but I caught her hand and threw it away. She staggered and almost fell, but her two little backups arrived to catch her before her butt reached the ground.“Aya! Why are you here?”“Didn’t we tell you not to go!?”Both of them were about to come and pull me, but Jacob and Luke lowly growled at them. Releasing hostile pheromones. There was something new about him, but I cannot pinpoint what it is. His pheromones were much more distinct and edgy,
Sophia’s POV“Let’s go.” He whispered the moment the music stopped.“What!? The event just literally started, Jacob!” I laughed at him as we sneakily passed some people we knew. Until one she-wolf yelled, “Hey! Where are you taking her!?”“Nowhere!” Jacob glanced in Sandra’s direction and clicked his tongue. She slowly made her way to us, and Jacob was alarmed. Now, we are power walking through the crowds.“Spade! Seriously!” Sandra complained, and Jacob bargained, “I’ll let you have her at the Spring Festival!”“You sure!? You’re gonna regret that, though!” Sandra shouted, and I could just imagine her grinning from ear to ear.“I know! I’m already regretting it right now!” Jacob held my hand as we ran to the exit. He sometimes turned around to see if I was okay. A moment later, we arrived at the garden. The very garden he made me clean! I had bitter feelings about this.‘I laughed secretly about that, Pia! Jacob sometimes enclosed me in a secret space, and that was a huge help.’ Lia
Sophia’s POV“Funny how we change positions now.” Hatchett scoffed and shook her wrists. By doing so, the cuffs and chains clanked together, creating an annoying noise.“Where are my parents?” I questioned her with a threatening growl. She paid me no heed but blankly stared past me. To my mate. I moved a step sideways to cover the view. Felt Jacob’s glee through the bond by doing so.“Answer me, Hatchett,” I sparingly said. She raised her head and glared at me. “You act like you remember, Addison. But you just got lucky with these!”She shook her limbs and meant the silver cuffs, dipped in iron-melted extract. The demons’ weakness. I sighed and asked the two, who were on her side. Both were cuffed with the same silver-iron-dipped chains as Hatchett.“You guys seemed to be much easier to negotiate with. Where are my parents? Where did you lead them!?” I slightly raised my voice as my emotions escalated. Ricky answered me, “You’re going to regret this, Aya. You’re gonna regret not choos
Sophia’s POVWe heard a knock on the door, and it was Beta Trent. “Luna, please excuse my behavior.”I just stared at myself in the mirror and waited for Aunt Mia to let him in. When there was silence for a few seconds, I turned around and looked at the three of them.“Sophia, you’re the Luna now. Today’s even your official inauguration.” Aunt Mia chuckled as she gently patted my shoulders. “Don’t think that you are being rude to me. Frank and I made this decision long before what happened to you.”I was just about to worry that it would be presumptuous of me to act like the Luna in front of her. She beat me into it. But because she said that, I felt at ease. I nodded at her and softly called through the door, “Please come in, Beta Trent.”He smiled once he saw me and bowed down to the three of us—me, mom, and Aunt Mia. He nodded at my two friends. Then, he faced me and said, “You can just call me Trent, Luna.”It would be awkward for me to do so on a fly, but if I were him and the on
Sophia’s POV(NSFW content)Jacob pressed his lips against mine once again. This time, a gentle gasp came out of my mouth, driven by a yearning that stoked each and every nerve endings in my body. His hands enthusiastically probed every crevice of my physique, giving me thrills down my spine with their enthralling touch. His fingers left an imprint of heat in their wake as he pushed me back into the bed with a delicate but firm pressure.Sinking into the mattress's plushness, my heart raced with expectation. As he drew nearer, his lips never left mine as his strong, steady hands held the sheets by my side, securing me to the bed. As if showing me that I have nowhere else to go but here with him. Every kiss revealed something new and demonstrated the intensity that burned between us. Something only the both of us knew.He pulled away once my head reached the pillows, and he softly adjusted my head there.My mate’s eyes were fueled with primal desire as he stared at me. I sneaked a peek
Jacob’s POV My Luna’s flushed face came into view as I subtly moved my head sideways. Asking for her final permission before I’d really claim her as mine. Could feel her hot breaths fanning when she nodded, and a hint of fear flashed before her face. Luke and I sensed Lia’s anxiousness, and although worried, we were strangely turned on. Dominating any she-wolf is what male wolves have ever wanted. Especially their mates. There is just this dark desire and primal instinct within us that we cannot deny. And.. Sophia is a special one. She never succumbs to someone, so I wonder how tonight will end. I could just tell she'd never back down without a fight. But that.. just adds another thrill to the chase. She’ll never succeed anyway. I won’t let her. Sophia is only mine. I was having a hard time figuring out how to do this without really hurting her, but that would be far from impossible. I’m just scared she’ll run midway because of the pain, and that would be no good. Because once she d
Sophia’s POV My whole fucking body ached as I slowly opened my eyes. All of the exhaustion I felt last night instantly faded away as Jacob's smiling face flashed right in front of me. It seemed he'd been awake for quite awhile. “Morning, beautiful,” he greeted, brushing his thumb on my lower lip. “Morn—” Jacob cut me short with a sweet and long kiss. When our lips were apart, I punched his chest. Was about to reprimand him, but he flinched. My eyes roamed down, and saw the bite and claw marks I inflicted against his chiseled chest. Gasping slightly, I trailed down and looked at them with guilty eyes. Jacob held my hand and kissed it. “Why do you look so sad about it, my Luna?” “It didn’t heal?” I whined, releasing my pheromones, but he stopped me. “No. Not yet,” he pressed. I looked at him with a confused face, and he smirked, “I quite love your work of art, Sophia.” Rolling my eyes at him, I gently pushed him away and got off our bed. The torn pieces of last night’s events were
(NSFW content) Jhoanna’s POV “Jhoanna,” Hans sweetly coaxed as he held my hand and guided me to his room. “I can hear your heart, you know..” I gulped and looked around. “Is it okay for me to be here?” “What are you talking about? You’re Midnight’s future Luna and it’s not like it is your first time here.” He paused and glanced over his shoulder. “Don’t worry, my love. I wouldn’t do anything you wouldn’t want to.” “I know. I’m just.. scared.” He darkly chuckled, and that made me even more concerned, but at the same time, I’m honestly anticipating what he’ll do. Especially when he grinned, “You have all the reason to.” We stopped in front of one door, and he pushed it open. Then, his intoxicating scent greeted us. Greeted me. Didn’t even notice that I grasped his hands too hard until he told me, “Love? Are you okay?” I nodded as he pulled me into his arms. Then he moved backwards until he laid down on the bed, dragging me on top of him. He didn’t say anything but just hugged m
Jhoanna’s POV“Where?” My mate quickly asked as he gave me one peck before looking in my eyes for answers. Held his hand and ran back to where the others were. I had asked mom to teleport us to the demilitarized zone so that I could preserve my powers. She was surprised but didn’t ask further as she chanted and snapped her fingers twice. By the time we opened our eyes, we were at the ancient ruins of the demilitarized zone.Then.. We saw them. The man and grandmama, as she wanted me to call her that. It was quite a groteseque scene, actually.She broke his limbs from all places, full of wrath. Like it was something personal. Then, she must’ve felt some presence as she glared at us in hostility. But softened her gaze once saw it was only me and Hans.“Hi dearest! Didn’t want you to witness your grandmama being this mean. Sorry ‘bout this.” She spoke in such a light and bright tone that if I ever shared this with someone and they saw her in person, they wouldn’t believe that Naia played
Hans’ POV The moment Jhoanna told me about Hannah, I instantly wolfed out mid-game. Rio immediately understood as he took over as vice captain and let someone else sub in my stead. Could go over to the men’s volleyball team since Samuel’s their captain, but I don’t have time right now, so I just mind-linked him while I’m sprinting my way to her. ‘Hannah’s in pain again. I’m gonna go there now.’ ‘I’m coming.’ It was the only word Samuel replied. Tried to contact my mate, but she wasn’t responding until I could feel her slowly slipping away after feeling her agony through the bond. That’s when I truly panic and hasten my pace. The moment I arrived, everyone who knew me was beyond shocked. They know I had an important game, and yet I’m here. Just quickly passed by them, even when some were asking what on earth I was doing here. Didn’t even have the luxury of pleasantries to deal with them as I sprinted towards where Jhoanna is. Where her scent lingers the most. It was in one of t
Jhoanna’s POVOur friends and even my brother let out a loud and overacting gasp when Hans told them I’m his mate. If only we could record their reactions. Samuel was terrified, while Rio was the happiest. The rest only laughed at my brother’s frozen state.Dad reprimanded the life out of me for his car when I returned to Blood Moon during one weekend. Mom just giggled about it. She was quite pleased and, well, ultimately teased me regarding the ‘Hans is my mate’ thing and dad, well, dad is being dad.“How dare he be mates with my daughter!?” He growled. His hands formed into a fist.“My Alpha..” Mom cooed. “Do they have a choice?”“He’s been fighting with Jhoanna ever since!”“We’ve been at that phase too. Besides, even if they’ve been at it for years, your reason is even deeper than their fights. You know that, right? Yet, here we are..”Dad clicked her tongue and turned away. Mom looked at me and winked, like telling me that she had won. Well, she always wins the arguments with dad
Jhoanna’s POV“Bye Mom. Dad.” Samuel and I said as we hugged them both.“Take care and have fun, both of you,” Mom pouted. Still sulking about the fact that it’s unfair for her to have her son spend time at the dormitories for two years. She can really be petty at times.I drove dad’s car. Fast. So fast that even Samuel is now praying to the Moon Goddess.“My goodness, Jhoanna! Could you please slow the fuck down!? We are even a week early!” He groused. I only shrugged and revved the engine two times faster. He cussed and cussed as I laughed. We are now nearing the University’s gate.Until I saw one car driving in the opposite direction. I tried to slow down, and the car did too, but it was too late. We crashed into each other.Oh, no one was hurt, alright.EXCEPT FOR ME WHEN THIS NEWS REACHES DAD.“Dad will literally kill me.” I overdramatically mumbled as I hopped down the car and ran in front to see the damage. My hands automatically went to my mouth as I loudly gasped. Samuel grun
Jhoanna’s POV A peaceful and relaxing afternoon, only to be ruined by one Hans Martin. The man–no, boy, was the correct term as he was two years younger than me, seems to love to annoy the life out of me. As do I to him. Though, my little brother always teased me than he is much more mature than I ever was. Which is, of course, not true! Arching my brow, I asked, “And why pray, tell, are you here?” He groaned the moment our eyes met. “If I knew you were here, would rather come in a little later..” He grumbled to which Dad growled. Hans apologized although he clearly seems to be unapologetic enough. “This is my pack, Hans. Where else would I be?” I shot back. In the corner of my eye, saw Samuel smirking as if he knew we are starting yet another one of our fights. “In your room? Or the training grounds? Practicing so that for once you could beat me?” “ENOUGH!” My father roared. “I’m very much aware of your skirmish with my daughter but I would appreciate it if you won’t do it h
Sophia’s POV“Y-you’re insane,” I mumbled, and he smirked. “Yeah, only for you.”Sucking in a sharp breath, I tried to say something, but this man, this freaking man!PLACED HIS THUMB OVER MY LIP!That very same thumb! Just to stop me from speaking..“Don’t..” he muttered. “Don’t say anything else, Sophia.”As if he read my mind that I’m about to say something along the lines of us being together. I was stunned; even that word itself might be an understatement. Still cannot get over the fact that his thumb is over my lips with his index finger holding my chin to keep me from looking away. “You already did it, and I cannot have you tell me first the second time around, baby..” He slowly leaned in, never breaking any eye contact. “I love you, Sophia Addison.”Then our noses touched. Could feel his lips pressing, but I could not feel it entirely. His thumb was still in between.I saw the corner of his eyes beamed, seeing me so flustered. Thus, he pulled away. And before I could ask or
Sophia’s POV“I will kill him!” I growled and rose from my seat. Made big steps to get to where he was. “Hey stoneface!”He lifted his head from his arms as he was taking a nap. He lazily yawned and looked at me. “Yes, baby?”I snorted and glared at him, “Did you just burn my rejection letter meant for Aunt Ma and Uncle Frank!?”“I’m the one you are rejecting, right? So I have the right to deny your rejection, my baby.”“Stop calling me that! Aside from it’s so fucking cringy, I’m not yours!” I roared and placed both of my hands in his seat.“You’re mine, Sophia. You’re my mate.” He seriously stated as he stared at me with his pitch black eyes. I was speechless and was about to back out. But he pulled my waist with his right hand and threw his table away with his free hand. As if switching places. I ultimately landed on his lap. Tried to get away, but he only tightened his grip on my waist. This fucking bastard!Henry shielded himself because he almost made contact with the table. He
Sophia’s POV“That asshole!” Jhoanna punched the nearest wall the moment she came inside our pack mansion.“Jhoanna!” I slightly raised my voice with a warning tone.She looked at me and gasped. The irritation and fury in her eyes instantly gone, “Sorry, mom. It’s just.. just.. Ugh! That Hans, I swear!”She gave me one quick kiss on the cheek before storming into her room. Samuel, who, a moment later, came after her, greeted me with a warm voice. “Hey, mom.”He gave me a half hug and kissed my cheek. My head moved a little bit sideways, motioning to his sister, “What happened to that one?”He smirked and slightly tilted his head down with a little shake. “The usual Hans and Jhoanna mayhem.”I sighed. Seasons came and went. And just like that, seven years had gone by. There were problems here and there, sure, but we always managed to solve them all. But not Jhoanna and Hans’ unending fights.Fights.A strong word, indeed. Only, that’s literally what's happening. We couldn’t even call i
