All Chapters of Destined Mates: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I walked up to Jason and greeted him. He looked upset as he replied calmly.He put in the key as the door unlocked and we stepped inside silently."Lily liked the cookies. I played with Oliver, her baby boy. He's so cute and the dinner was delicious." I said, trying to cheer up the mood a little."Great," He said plainly as he removed his coat and placed it on the sofa."How did your dinner go with your mentor? Did you have a good time?" I asked and he just shrugged his massive shoulders while removing his wristwatch."It was okay," He replied as I fumbled with the hem of my shirt awkwardly.Why wasn't he talking to me normally? He wasn't even looking at me while replying. Maybe he thought that was boring?"You know what, Leon gave me a weird suggestion at dinner, he said I could take Luna's position as a job. How could he think of Luna as a job?" I said, pondering Leon's words.Jason didn’t even reply to me this time, he was just staring at the floor with his hands in his pants pock

April's povThe next morning I woke up early. After having a quick shower I changed into a new set of clothes and made my way into the kitchen.I searched for the ingredients and started making breakfast for myself and Jason. The kitchen is always fully stocked. Every day he would ask me if I needed anything and I'll thank him, saying there was nothing I needed because he has already provided me with everything.I set the table when he descended down the stairs wearing his casual clothing. He was wearing a loose shirt with sweats. His hair was ruffled and wet. 'He looked kinda cute,' Frea mused in my head and I scolded her in my head."Breakfast is ready," I passed him a smile as he took a seat opposite mine and served himself. We started eating our breakfast as I pondered my thoughts. I've been thinking about it lately but I haven't voiced it out yet."Jason," I called him, garnering his attention."I thought I would live here only for a few days, but now it seems it will be long,"

My eyes shot open wide as I abruptly sat up on the bed and gasped. Sweat trickled down my temple as I checked my arms and looked at them wide eyes to find any blood all over but there was nothing. My chest was heaving up and down with fast breaths as my eyes scanned my room.I couldn't tell if it was reality or a nightmare. I squinted my eyes to find the lurking shadows in the darkness of my room. I was afraid that at any moment Liam would come out of the shadows and hurt me.A shrill scream escaped my lips as my heart came to my mouth when my door was knocked. "April?" I heard the deep panicked stricken voice of Jason as I cupped my mouth shut trying to breathe."It's okay, April. You're safe. I'm here for you," His voice was gentle but held worry for me."It was just a nightmare. I heard your muffled cries. You're safe, April." He said as I touched my cheeks to find them wet. I was crying.His words were comforting. "Can I come in?" He asked as I immediately wiped my tears."Y..yes

He noticed me looking at him."Everything okay?" I asked, seeing the serious expression on his face."It's Ethan, he got injured." He said and my brows furrowed."Is he okay?" I asked."I will go to him after dropping you," He said."I will go too," I said as he shook his head."I'll take you to him later," He said as he came to my side and opened the door for me as I got into the car.He took the driver's seat and roared the engine to life. Reversing out of the parking lot he put the car into drive.I wanted to go with him and visit Ethan, but if he says he would take me later then it's fine. I hope Ethan is fine."Jason, you could drop me near the bus stop. I'll take the bus, you should go to Ethan." "No, first I'll drop you home safely." He said. I noticed as he gripped the steering wheel with such force that his knuckles turned white.I realized that there was something he was hiding from me.All of sudden it occurred to me that when Jason came to Liam's pack for the first time,

April's pov I felt a warm touch on my lips which stirred me out of my sleep. When I opened my eyes, I saw Jason crouching on the floor very close to my face. With one arm propped up on the back of the couch and the other next to me, I was enveloped in his shadow as he looked down on me from above. He was hovering over me. His bluish hues peered down at me as we looked at each other and the time seemed to stand still. His hair was down covering his forehead. His thick brows were together as if he was restraining himself from something. My eyes glided to his pink full lips, his light stubble gave him a rugged look and his eyes. Those ocean pools looked at me as if he could see right through my soul into the deepest darkest parts of my soul. There was this immense pull that I couldn't describe. My body yearned to disappear in his warmth and drown in his soul. I just wanted to pull him closer. To feel the warmth of his skin. My thoughts rattled my heart making no inhale sharply which w
