Jarek
A deep tired sigh passes through my lips when I stare at the ceiling after my alarm goes off. Silencing the alarm, I rack my fingers through my hair, then, settling my arm behind my head, I enjoy a few peaceful moments before I have to head into the chaos of the world.
Back in the days, our kind lived in huge packs away from the human population, but now things have changed. Now we live among humans, and most of them are aware of our true nature. We are feared and respected, but some consider us an abomination and want to eliminate our kind.
Even though now packs no longer exist, our wolves still need that connection with other wolves, so we live in small groups. My grandfather started this club after our pack was invaded by hunters, which forced everyone to leave their homes. To keep everyone safe, he decided it was safe to mingle among humans and learn to live among them.
Since the pack system is strong among wolves, it was not difficult to establish a club that loosely follows the same hierarchy as packs. Werewolves from other packs and some rogues also began to join our club, and soon even humans became a part of our world. Now our club not only has werewolves, but even humans are also our brothers.
When my father started recruiting humans in our club, some werewolves objected to his decision because some of the arrogant bastards thought humans were lesser than us. But Dad always instilled in our mind, loyalty and bravery have nothing to do with kind or nature. And his decision was proved right when numerous times our human brothers risked their lives for us.
So now here we are running a club, which has gained the position of one of the most feared and respected clubs in our town. People of the town fear us; at the same time, they look up to us to help them and protect them.
Getting up, I make my way towards the bathroom as I stretch my arms above my head. Setting the water on warm, I let the warm water soothe my aching muscles as I stand under the running water.
After my dad's death, being his only son, I got the position of Alpha at the age of eighteen. It was not easy to exercise my control over a dozen hotheaded werewolves and humans. Still, soon I showed everyone that I would not be disrespected, and neither should they mistake my age for challenging me for my position. I have earned the respect of the club, and with the help of some of the most loyal members, I have been successfully running this club for twelve years now.
Even though I love my brothers and this club, there is still a sense of loneliness and longing inside me. My life is anything but mundane, but sometimes my wolf and I do long for stability in my life.
Changing into black jeans and a white shirt, I slip my leather jacket on and walk outside my room. The voice of brothers who have returned from the night shift echoes through the kitchen along with the others who have just woken up, making me lightly chuckle as they are fighting over the breakfast.
"Morning, wolves." I sit at the breakfast bar and nod my head towards my brothers.
"Morning, Alpha." I hear a few greeting me back while others bow their heads.
A breakfast plate is placed in front of me, consisting of scrambled eggs and toast.
My grandfather named our club Wolf Blood, and since then, each member of our club, whether human or werewolf, has been called a wolf.
What I love about my club is that everyone is treated here with complete respect, and we all know our brothers have our back no matter what their kind is. We all are ready to give our lives for our brothers and this club. No kind, blood, or status divides us. We all are one.
"Alpha, we have spotted scorpions around our territory." Daniel, my beta, takes a seat beside me and digs into his breakfast. "We need to increase our patrolling and inform the town members to alert us if they find anything suspicious."
Scorpions are our enemies, and several times we have gone to war against them. They are criminals and are involved in all sorts of illegal businesses. While our hands are not clean, but still, the club owns many legal businesses, which helps the club's finances run smoothly.
"Call every wolve back to the club, and inform everyone to avoid going anywhere alone." Sipping my coffee, I clench my jaws in anger, "If these motherfuckers are planning anything against us, this time we will fucking wipe their existence."
"Don't worry, Alpha, I have already called everyone and informed them about the scorpions. Everyone is waiting for them to make any mistake, so we can satisfy our thirst by shedding these bastards' blood." He smirks while his hand turns into a claw.
Grunting in approval, I check my phone to see Eric's message informing me that he has passed the territory and now he is heading towards the club.
Eric was dad's friend and is a human, but he is scary as hell and can make any werewolves shit in their pants. After dad's death, he helped me with the club and eliminated every head raised against me. He is like a father to the club and one of the most loyal wolves.
Eric has told me that he is going away for a while to resolve some personal issue. Even though we all are family, we still respect each other privacy, so I haven't questioned him. But last night, he informed me that he is bringing someone with him and he will tell me everything once he comes back.
Lifting my head, I look towards the entrance when the door of the clubhouse opens. Eric nods his head in my direction while his eyes hold a shine that we have witnessed on rare occasions when he is happy.
Some of the wolves whistle in appreciation when another pair of footsteps reaches my ear. Shifting on my seat, I turn my full attention towards this new girl who is looking around the club with disinterest.
She looks at the wolves like they are gum beneath her boot, and then slightly raising her chin, she turns her face away from them. Her eyes connect with mine, and a wave of calmness wash over me while I feel myself drowning in her big brown eyes.
She presses her lips together, drawing my attention to her bow-shaped lips. Lifting her hand, she tucks a few strands of loose hair behind her ear while I follow her hand with my eyes. There is something captivating about this girl that makes it difficult for me to look away from her.
"Alpha." Eric stands in front of me, forcing me to turn my attention to him. I can sense everyone is curious about this newcomer, which for some reason, is irritating my wolf and me. "She is my daughter." He motions her to come forward while there is an unmistakable hint of pride in his voice as he introduces her.
Her eyes line with tears as she looks at him, but blinking away, she dries her eyes, locking her every emotion.
"Gianna, he is our Alpha Jarek." He places his arm around her shoulders while smiling at me.
"Hi, Jarek."Her soft voice causes my heart to skip a beat. Surprisingly, her not addressing me with my title doesn't annoy me; if anything, I like the sound of my name coming our her lips.
"Gianna." I nod my head while my wolf purs in delight when a light dusting of blush graces her cheeks while a hint of a small smile appears on her face.
GiannaSitting in front of this stranger who is my father, I feel anything but calm. Entire life, my mother hasn't told me about my father, but just a few days before her death, she told me about my father.Toying with my bracelet, I dare to look at him to find him already looking at me with nothing but affection. There is no doubt that he isn't my father. We share a lot of similarities. However, the thing which is almost an instant giveaway is our eyes. Looking into his eyes, I almost feel like I am staring into my eyes through the mirror.All my life, I thought my father abandoned me, but the truth is that he never left me. In fact, he lived just two towns away from me. Mom told me that they had to take this difficult decision to protect me. Mom and dad loved each other, but for the sake of my safety, they decided to part ways.Eric, or should I say, my father, is a part of a club which means he has more enemies than friends. When I was
Jarek We all are sitting around the large table in the meeting room, waiting for Eric to come and explain what is going on. Nobody knew Eric had a family, so everyone was surprised. I knew he has a family, but other than that, he never discussed anything with me, so even I am somewhat surprised to find out that he has a grown-up daughter. "Listen, you, fuckers." Eric enters the room, and one of the prospects closes the door behind him, "I have seen you eyeing my daughter, so this is the only warning which I am giving you all. If I find any one of you looking at my daughter in the wrong way, I will pull your eyeballs out of your sockets and shove them up in your ass. Understand?" He slams his fist on the wooden table, causing it to rattle under the force. Damn, this man can be scary as hell when he wants to be. "As if his warning will stop these bastards from going after that gorgeous girl," Daniel smirks. A hot rage runs
Gianna Honestly, when Eric told me about his club, and werewolves I was anything but scared because he talked about his club with so much reverence that it is impossible to create a negative judgment about them. Moreover, I believe we should give everyone a chance, and if then they let you down, then you should distance yourself from them. From the moment I have entered the club, the first thing which I realized was that a club is a close-knit family. Even though some of them are lewd, still, you can notice the sense of bond between them. However, for some unknown reason, my mind keeps on drifting to a certain male. Jarek. Everything about him screams danger. Still, I find myself being drawn to him. The moment I saw him, there was an instant connection between us which suddenly made that stranger into an acquaintance. I don't know what should I call this connection, but whatever it is, it is strong. Somew
Jarek The sound of commotion coming from outside makes me rush out, half-expecting to see wolves fighting with each other. My eyebrows shoot up at the sight which welcomes me. A miniature version of a cheetah is standing on the top of Gianna's car while hissing at the prospects who are trying to approach it. "Holy fuck!" Daniel's voice is full of disbelief, "Now this is something which I don't ever want to deal with." He whistles through his teeth when the cat swipes a claw in the prospect's direction, making him scream like a little girl. "Charlie!" Gianna places her hands on her hip while narrowing her eyes at the hissing cat, "This is not the way to treat our hosts." Suddenly, the ferocious cat, which looked ready to tear anyone who dared to come near her, leaps in Gianna's arms, nearly making her lose her footing. "There is my sweet, little Charlie." She presses a kiss on the cat's head while th
GiannaEven though earlier, I had decided that I would stay away from him, but one look at him and all my resolve dissolved into nothingness.So instantly, I decided not to think much about all these things and just enjoy the attention which I was receiving. But then, just like someone has thrown cold water on my face, a realization draws on me that it is not like he is actually interested in knowing me; he is interested in this new girl he has just met.And these two things are different.This also made me realize that deep down, I was hoping that he would genuinely like me, which is stupid. Because why would he be interested in me when he can have anyone he wants?I am not blind not to notice how every girl in the party was eyeing him. He is not like manwhore like most of the other club members from what I have heard, but still, he has been with quite a few females. And it was not like somebody told me about him or anything, but
JarekThis is the most difficult promise I have ever made to anyone. Because my wolf is driving me crazy, demanding to me to claim her and make her mine.But I know I made the right decision. She is giving me a chance, and I have to prove myself worthy of her. I need to make her believe that it is not just a physical attraction but something more profound and real.I don't just want her. I want to win her trust and her heart.I still haven't found whether she is my mate or not because this mate bond doesn't work the way it is depicted in fiction. There aren't any sparks or tingles or any shit like that.It is just a strong pull, like the other half of you is calling you.I do feel the pull between us, but it can be just a natural attraction between two people, which my wolf is mistaking for mate bond. The only way to find out whether the connection which I am feeling is a mate bond or not is to let my wolf meet h
Gianna When I saw that woman touching him, I just saw red. I was not blind to see that they had some history. Otherwise, how can she behave so boldly around him, she even addressed him by his name or not by his title. I felt like beheading her for even standing close to him. It tore my heart to even think about him with someone else. And then another emotion twisted my heart painfully; I felt disappointed. I almost felt like a fool for trusting him. I felt he had let me down by allowing something like this to happen. I was so angry at Jarek, but even more than him, I was mad at myself for behaving like that. None of us are committed to each other. We have just decided to explore our feelings. So why did I feel so hurt? However, when Jarek held me, the chaos which was inside me settled down while a sense of comfort washed over me. All my anger, sadness, pain just disappeared in the embrace of his warmth. The k
JarekI don't know what happened, but suddenly, my wolf took control. The animal side of me is demanding to claim Gianna, but I know this is not right. The emotions which are ruling my mind are purely animalistic.Pushing Gianna away from me, I move back, creating a distance between us before I could accidentally hurt her.Her chest rises and falls as she takes deep breaths while her bewildered expression pierces my heart. My entire frame shakes violently as I try to fight for control.I had hoped that she wouldn't resist the attraction which is brewing between us, and I am glad that she didn't. If anything, she is allowing those feelings to bloom; she doesn't hesitate in showing her feelings to me. But I didn't realize how my wolf would be affected by this. Because now, when we could feel even Gianna has feelings for us, he wants her.Gianna takes a step towards me, but I stop her from coming any further by raising my hand.&
