Jovita's POV I wake up to the sun's blinding rays streaming from the window. I blink a little, trying to remember where I am. The event of last night flows back to me, and I feel my cheeks go red. I lie down for a bit admiring the the beauty of the room. Whoever designed this house must have been extra skilled.I stand up and stretch, my eyes scanning the room for Jayden, but he's nowhere in sight.I hurriedly get dressed and proceed to search the house. After five minutes, I'm back in the room with a painful feeling in my chest. Jayden is gone!I turn to see a note lying on the bedside table. I pick it up and start to read as tears flow down my eyes. The note is short and simple.“Knowing you has been my greatest pleasure. It griefs me to leave your side, and I know everything would remind me of you. But I'm lucky though, because grief is an expression of love. And those who grieve are those who are lucky to have loved”.I had been so caught up in my anger about Uriel's death to gra
Jovita's POV JuneJulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecemberJanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMaySilenceIt's been almost a year since Jayden left. We haven't spoken since then. I blocked him out in every way possible, trying my best to forget him but it hasn't been very feasible.My friends keep telling me to stop being hard on myself and snap out of my mopping. “Who knows, you can find someone else”, they say, but it doesn't make anything better. Honestly, finding someone is currently the last thing on my list.I feel like my heart has been wrenched out, and in its place is a hole that eats deeper into my chest every day. I can't breathe. I suddenly get lost, and I rarely talk. Everyone is worried about me, especially my Mimoh. PS: Jayden is currently on her wanted list. She's ready to snap off his neck if she ever sees him again.“It's been a year”, Anna had shrieked earlier when I had refused to eat lunch because the waiter served something that reminded me of Jayden. I don
Jayden’s POV“I'm going back to Foxtown”, I tell my father.It's the first time we're meeting in months since I returned home.We are in the throne room, and my father has his back to me. He was telling me about my coronation which is around the corner.My father turns slowly to stare at me, his face livid with anger.“Have you taken leave of your senses?” He barks.“Barely”, I reply drily. I'm in no mood to argue with him right now. My mind is already made up, and there is little he can do to stop me.Foxtown is in disarray, and there's no way I will fold my arms and do nothing when they show me nothing but kindness throughout my stay there."You know she's the main reason you want to go", my inner voice whispered. The voice was not far from the truth. Jovita is my first reason for wanting to return to Foxtown. I fear for her safety, but mostly, I miss her.Life without her in the past months has been hell, days dutifully lived just because it's meant to be lived. I have become an em
Jayden's POVMy father stared at me like he was staring at a ghost that had suddenly made an announced appearance.“What did you just say?” My dad thunder.He turns to stare at me, and I can see his hazel eyes have taken a brighter shade. “You once fought for Mom’s love, she told me”. My voice is a bit hesitant. My father and I haven't talked about my mom in years. It was a raw subject for both of us.“She did?” He asked in a low, broken voice."Yes", I reply.Eighteen years ago “Mom, can you please tell me a story?” Jayden’s seven-year-old version asked his Mom”.She smiled brightly, her beautiful heart-shaped face lighting up. “What do you want to hear, my child?”“A story about royals. About a princess and a prince”.They were sitting around a small tea table, on the rooftop of their huge mansion. His mother was dressed in a flowing green gown and endowed with matching shoes, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. As a child, he had thought that she was the most beautiful woman he
Jayden’s POV“What happened Mom?” Little Jayden prompted.His mother smiled, running her hands through his long, black hair.Rufus was furious and so was her father. “I would marry her in two days”, Rufus had said, openly ogling her body. His huge, fat frame towered over her father as he spoke. Rumours had it that the many scars on his face, his missing right arm, and his crooked nose were a result of the great battles he had fought and won. He, however, looked like a man who was once every woman's dream.The wedding was moved to the next two days, and Kara was forbidden from leaving the house until the day she would journey to her husband's castle.Kara was devastated. She wept, cried, and protested, but all her efforts proved futile. The night before her wedding, she went to her father to cry. She and her twin brother, Castiel had always been his favorite of all his twelve children, and he adored her.“Why would you do this to me, father?” She asked in tears.“I'm sorry my child.
Jovita's POV"He's here!" Maddie screamed in a shrill voice.My head snapped in the direction of the entrance door along with many others.There had been a rumour earlier this week that there was a new Alpha on Foxtown town. He had relocated from Alaska due to a clash with the cold ones; he had killed one of their royals and had been suspended from his pack for two moons to maintain peace.According to the rumour, he was going to be attending Torin High School, which was my school."God, he is so hot!" Anna screamed."Cut it out!" Betty snapped at me and my two best friends, Maddie and Anna.Betty was Maddie’s distant cousin, and the Luna of the most powerful werewolf pack in Foxtown; her family was what you call royalty in the human world.Rumour had it that Betty had shifted during the spring break, and this had Alphas lining up and waiting, hoping the moon goddess would favour them with such a powerful Luna.I drew my besties backwards as Betty walked forward to meet the new Alpha;
Jayden’s POVI looked around at the strange faces as I drove into Foxtown. I was meant to come a day earlier with my cousin and best friend Eric, but I had a few issues to sort out, so I asked him to go before me.Instead of going home from the airport, I decided to drive straight to Torin High School to meet him.On getting there, I was told the students were having lunch already and directed to the cafeteria.When I walked in, the whole room turned to stare at me, but I continued my search for Eric unbothered; I was used to people throwing admiring stares.Just as my eyes fell on Eric, I cut the scent of something familiar other than Eric’s scent, and I felt my body react with excitement. _She’s here,_ the voice in my head whispered."Hey man," Eric said, coming to hug me; he must have perceived my scent."My flight was delayed, otherwise I’d have arrived earlier". "How is your first day at school going?""Not bad. I’m popular with the boys already, I got the girls drooling, and thi
Jovita's POV"Hi, Mimoh,” I said to my grandma as I entered our family's pottery store.“Jovie,” she said with a bright smile, hugging me.My Mimoh was my best friend after Anna and Maddie. She knew all of my secrets.When she was younger, she ruled the Grey pack and fought many battles for our clan. It's said that she was fearless as a lion and sly as a wolf.Staring at her little form right now made me laugh, from a wolf to a puppy, I thought with a chuckle.Thump!!!“Mimoh!” I screamed as a firm, old hand hit my back.“Oh, so you're making fun of me in your head, forgetting that I can hear your thoughts. I'm going to break that tiny back of yours, turnover.”I twisted out of her arm and fled the store; the old woman could be a lion again when she was offended.“I'd go see if Mrs. Brittany is done with the jar; I'd be back soon,” I screamed.“You better not return today.”“I will, ma. Bye, Mimoh.”I started down the road that led to Mrs. Brittany's store, then changed my mind and he
