"Are you sure that nothing is going on between you and Keera? Because she seems to never go away. It's like we are competing over you or as if she thinks you would leave me for her. I mean-''
"Keera and I have a history, that is in the past now. She has been more and more obsessed with me lately but I assure you, nothing is going on between us.'' Christian cut Jessie off.
"Why doesn't she get it? Why does she always come around and try to make this hard for me? From the first day I saw her until now, she has done nothing but growl at me, pass little nasty remakers and-''
"Has she said anything to you?''
''She called me a chav, said she would love to chew on my bones and wondered why you rejected her for someone like me.''
Christian leant his forehead on Jessie's, ''listen, I'll deal with her, just don't let her get into your head. She is only bitter because I had to do the right thing and marry you, my true mate. And honestly, I'm glad that it
While Christian engaged in a conversation with the group, Jessie couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, not from being excluded from the light chatter, but because for one she knew nothing about what they spoke about and because of the man who said his name was Jared. There was just something about him that made her felt bothered. Maybe it's because she felt drawn to him somehow. But there was just something that she couldn't explain. Everything about him was affecting her, his voice, his laugh, his very presence. Jessie zoned out for a minute, just thinking about Jared, forgetting that she was married to Christian, who was clearly a better-looking man, and a better soul, but her mind still went there. Almost fantasising about Jared and her, about the two of them in bed, or even on a table then and there. "So, I must ask. How is the Luna adjusting to this new life? Certainly it is far different from being a vampire or even a human.'' Jared turned to Jessie, pu
After telling Christian that he should mingle and not worry about her, Jessie soon grew bored with being around everyone. Jessie excused herself to the bathroom to clear her head and be as far away from Christian as possible with her thoughts.. After that experience with Jared, Jessie didn't know what to think anymore. 'Are my feelings for Jared real?' 'Are my feelings towards Christian real?' Jessie ran cold water over her sticky hands, watching as it flowed, getting lost in thought. Thoughts about her and Christian, with Jared playing in the back of her mind. Not knowing if she loved Christian because she was married to him or maybe if it's just that he was nice, but on the other hand, she felt compelled to be loyal to him. 'What if I don't love him as I thought I did?' 'But what of Jared? I hardly even know a thing about that man. When I can give every single detail about Christian, I can't do the same with Jared. All I know
Jessie leant on the sink to calm herself down, but her heart was still racing and her head still pounded from overthinking about Jared and this entire situation. All on her mind was, what if Jared really is her mate? And what does that mean for her and Christian? 'Is that even possible to have two mates?' 'Was this all a sick game?' Jessie didn't notice Keera entering the bathroom until she said, ''hey there, I forgot your name." "Of course you did.'' Jessie replied. "Sorry, you're just that insignificant.'' The female behind her laughed, giving Jessie a once over. While Danielle seemed as if she didn't want to be there. "Insignificant? Well, at least I wasn't the one rejected by Christian. I mean, just look at this chav, living the life that you wish you had. Too bad flea bag.'' Danielle laughed at that, receiving a nasty look from Keera, who turned to leave. "Don't let the door h
Christian watched Jessie closely. He could tell that something was bothering her, but she just won't say, and her not being a part of his pack made it hard for him to search into her already distant mind. She provided no answer to him, leaving him to wonder if anyone had said something to her, because at the beginning she was all smiles. Now that Jessie was in the washroom, Christian again tried to see if he could read her mind, but again, it was as if there was a thin blanket over her mind that wouldn't allow him to penetrate. "Alpha, looking sharp as ever.'' Richard, a long-time friend of Christian, came up behind him with a smile. ''I might say so myself.'' "So where is the Luna? I hope she isn't off to bed as yet. I tried my best to make it on time. Even if even it is to get just a glimpse of her, rumour as it, she is a sight to behold.'' "Well, the rumours are right.'' "Even prettier than you know?''
Jessie watched in horror as Christian had Keera up against a wall by her neck. He drew back his lips from his teeth, which dripped with venom. Ready to sink them into her flesh and take her life as she begged and plead for mercy. Keera tried to push off the wall, only for Christian to slam her back against it with such force. The wall cracked. "Are you trying to defy me? I am Alpha! And what I say or do goes." He sneered in her face. "You see that woman over there? She is my mate and this will be the last time you f**k with her." Christian growled. "Stop.'' Jessie sounded out weakly. Never did she think she would beg for the life of her enemy, but after seeing what was happening before her. She knew she had to step in. "Christian, please stop.'' Jessie said, walking closer to him. But in all of his anger, he didn't hear her. "Christian.'' Jessie placed a hand on his arm, ''please don't hurt her.'' Christian looked at hi
The next morning, Jessie finally called her sister, knowing that she must be dieing to hear her voice, just as how she was feeling the same. On the second ring, a voice answered. "Can I speak with Kimberly, please?'' "It is me, you dumb arse." Jessie rolled her eyes, ''and here I thought that you would have missed me.'' "I do miss you, sissy. What took you so long? I was starting to think that the wolves had turned you into stew.'' "Nothing like that.'' Kimmy bombarded Jessie with questions. "This is not twenty-one questions, Kimmy, but yes, I am doing just fine. Christian is such a gentleman and treats me so well.'' ''So you are happy then?'' "Happier than I have ever been.'' Jessie paused, wishing that Kimmy could be here, experiencing all this with her. ''Kimmy, I wish you were here. I don't feel comfortable knowing that I'm here and you're with that man.'' "I'm doing just fine. I move
"There you are." Christian pulled Jessie into a kiss. MacKenzie made a gagging sound, "I'm going to my room, see you aunty, uncle." "Well, you two have become quite good friends." "If only I could win your mother and sisters over." "Don't be so hard on yourself, for now. Why don't you get dressed in something comfortable?" "What's on the agenda?" "You'll see." Jessie gave Christian a pointed look, then race upstairs to get dressed in a red and black sweat suit and matching trainers. "Ready," she announced. Christian looked her up and down, and she could see him hiding a smile as he admired her body. "See something you like?" "Yes, my mate. Are you ready?" "As I'll ever be." "Put this on." Christian produced a silky red blindfold. Jessie gave him a questioning look, but did as he said. She didn't know where Christian was taking her, but all she knew was that h
After a round of playful banters with Christian and with her belly full, Jessie called it a night and left him in the kitchen, with him promising to be with her soon. She took a quick shower. After that, she got dressed in something sexy, thinking she could impress or even seduce Christian. But I didn't last long. Jessie fell asleep maybe ten minutes after her head hit the pillow, where she instantly started dreaming. Jessie's dream took her into an unfamiliar house, leaving her to wonder how she was able to dream and feel so awake at the same time. "I see that you have finally answered to my calling." She turned in the direction of Jared's voice. "Where am I?" "In my space, it will be hard to explain, but the long and short of it is. I can create a space of my own, and invite who I want." "Why me?" "You are my mate, and the sooner you see the truth, the sooner you will see Christian for who he really is, you will
