Jovita's POV I stared around the room filled with young adults, my eyes searching for my best friends. One of the white brothers, Conan was throwing a party at his parent's vacation mansion, a few minutes from Jayden’s house. The party was filled with the most popular werewolves in Torin, and I was pretty surprised when I got an invitation. In the past, I usually just tagged along with Maddie and Anne, as no one ever invited me. “It was probably because of Jayden I got an invitation”, I had told my besties, tossing the card on my old bedside table. They had come over to stay with me for the weekend. We came together for the party, but I had excused myself to use the restroom, and now they were gone. I avoided the crowd of scarcely dressed females and overly dressed males, as I continued my search. I saw many heads turn in my direction. Yeah, I was beautiful, but I had never drawn heads until I started hanging out with Jayden. It was bringing in more attention than I wanted. “Oh sh
Jayden's POV I caught the scent of my mate as I hugged Jade, giving her a peck on her forehead, but when I turned, she was nowhere in sight. Apologizing to Jade, I went in search of her. I followed her scent to the lady's restroom but stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. I saw a group of girls giggling, and staring at me, my presence must have painted a funny picture. “Jovita”, I called but got no reply. I tried again, but still no reply. I decided she wasn't in there and headed out of the house to continue my search, maybe she had gone home. I decided to trace my way to her house to see if I could find her. I had run only a few distance when I picked up her scent again. She was sitting on one of the benches the beach provided, a few meters from my home. I approached her slowly unsure of what to say or do. We hadn't spoken in weeks, and I felt awkward. She turned to stare at me, when I got close enough, but turned back as if she hadn't seen me, I noticed there were tea
Jovita's POV “Oh my gawd, Jayden had just been ravishingly kissing me a few minutes ago”, I felt my cheeks still burning red. I stared down at our hands tightly entwined, and a smile crept to my lips. Suddenly, I noticed his body tense, and I followed his gaze focused on something, his eyes narrowed, and concentrated. “A cold one is here”, I heard in my head. My body stilled. I recognized that voice. It was Jayden's voice, more like Jayden's thoughts. I stared at him to make sure I wasn't imagining things. “Eric, Seth, Phil, Conan, gather around, a cold one is here, and I think he not just any cold one”. I heard it again, I could hear Jayden's thoughts. “Oh my god”, I yelled in my head, excitedly. He turned to look at me, his eyes narrowing, and a slow smile spread on his face. “The bond is getting stronger”, he said, drawing me into his arms, and planting a deep, brief, caring kiss on my lips. “I have to gather the others, stay with the rest of the party guests, be safe mate
Jayden’s POV I groaned in pain as the vampire ran with me, describing his movement as running would be an underestimation, he was flying. I yelped when he stopped suddenly and slammed me into a tree. “Let's see what you've got”, he said, his hands behind him, waiting for me to get up. I rose to my feet, my body in pain. I close my eyes, trying to self-heal. It was excruciating. When I had managed to stop my bleeding, I opened my eyes to stare at my opponent, calculating. He was probably ten times stronger and faster than me, and I had to plan my movement carefully or end up getting killed. “I see you're an instinctive fighter”, he said, giggling. How about we make this fairer?” He made a swirling motion with his hands, and a portal opened. I gasped, I didn't know cold ones could have such powers. Who the hell was this guy? He looked exactly like the guy who had attacked Jovita, but I could tell he wasn't the same guy. He smelt different, moved differently, and acted differently.
Jovita's POV “You should stay back, we will find him”, Eric said to me, blocking the exit. We were still at the party, and I insisted on following them to find Jayden. The rest of the party guests had dispersed, and the room was empty, except for me, my besties, the white brothers, and Betty. I noticed she was still giving me cold stares and she was avoiding Eric. “Please I need to go with you”, I pleaded with teary-eyed. “If you come with us it would pose a problem, we'd be distracted between protecting you and searching for him”, Phil, Maddie's mate, said. I nodded, he was right, it was better I stayed back. I would only be a burden. “If anything happens to you, he'd probably behead us in a breath”, Eric said, and the others burst out in a fit of laughter. I blushed looking down, I hadn't expected that. “Let's be on our way”, Eric said, taking off through the crack Uriel had left, while Phil and Conan followed. I sat down on the chair, taking in a deep, worried breath. Maddie
Jayden's POV It was excruciating, but I pulled my body on top of hers, shielding her against the cold. She was soft and fragile. I felt her body stiffen against mine, and I smiled. She was trying her best not to think so I couldn't tell what was going through her head, I could guess at least, from the feel of her taut nipple against my chest, and her rapid heartbeat. I leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead. “I'm sorry for putting you through this”, I whispered into her ear. Uriel was right, I wasn't the perfect mate for Jovita. I was meant to be her Alpha, her protector, but here I was, endangering her life constantly. “I should be the one apologizing. Uriel is here because of me”. “He's not, you might be part of the reason he's here, but not the only reason”. She was about to say something, but my friends’ giggles and banter cut her short. “We should probably give you guys a room”, Eric said, giggling. I pulled myself from on top of her realizing it was daybreak a
Jovita's POVI mentally face-palmed. Where did those words come from? I had just told Jayden that I wanted him too, fuck it!Those words had stared something deep in him because when he looked into my eyes, his hazel eyes burned with desire. My stomach twitched, and could feel butterflies. Guys, I'm not exaggerating here, the tension was intense!“Umm… umm”, I tried to say but shut my mouth. I was short of words.“What?” He asked, his eyes moving to my lips. I swallowed. What had I done to myself?I stayed mute not knowing what to say. I tried avoiding his eyes, but that was quite impossible because his hands were still around my waist. I was struggling between not sprawling my hands on his chest, and not looking into his eyes but it was quite impossible.“Are you shy, mate?” He asked.I blushed, hating myself. I loved it when he called me mate in his deep husky voice.“Should I call you more often then?” He asked.Shoot! What did I say about thought privacy?We stopped talking, and
Jayden’s POV“It had better be for a good reason that you pulled me out of that”, I said, giving Eric a playful rib jab, but he kept a straight face.“We found a trail”, Eric said, his voice cold and distant.What was wrong? I was starting to get worried, Eric was rarely ever this way.“Where did the trail lead?”“It led to the outskirts of folk towns, but suddenly, it disappeared”.“Disappeared?” I asked, puzzled.Eric and the white brothers were helping me investigate Eric's hideout.“We caught his scent and his footprint, but it stopped at a point and did not lead forward or backward”, Eric elaborated.He must have gone through a portal, like he did earlier. I found that quite strange. I didn't know cold ones had such power or any power at all. I had to do intensive research on these creatures, but first, I needed to confront Eric.“Is something wrong, man?” I asked, eyeing him suspiciously.“Nothing”.“Is it Betty? I noticed you've been quite cold to each other lately”.“I said i
