JAELAAwoken by Mia’s loud cackling, I rose from the comfortable bed with a loud yawn. My sweet dreams wanted me to stay and reminisce on the intimate time Tristan and I had. It felt so good being with him last night, but my mind knows it cannot be wrapped up in the wrong thoughts of it. I’d love to make it work with us; however, we know that would never happen. Ayana purrs thinking about our mate, or ex mate. She longs for him in the best and worse ways. “Maya is being a prude right now; she won’t give X any” Mia yells through the door. “Shut up Mia, everyone isn’t a slut like you” Maya retorted.Teenagers, they are such teenagers, I said to myself. Opening my room door, swinging it open frowning at my sisters. “What the hell are you two arguing about, honestly I’m just trying to sleep” I yelled at them both.“Girl please we know what you were in there doing. Thinking about Tristan punk ass” Mia said as Xavier growled lowly at her. Her eyes snapped in his direction “What? Did I say s
JAELAI forced myself away from Tristen. Dressing quickly, I sat on the stairs putting my head in my hands. ‘What have you done Aiyana. Do you have any idea what you just did’ I asked her ‘It’s what needed to happen, and I will not apologize for it’?An Abundance of emotion rushed through me, Happiness, desire, anger, love, disbelief flooded me. They weren’t my feelings but Tristen’s, ashamed I looked in his direction. He stood against the wall a few feet away from me deep in thought. His emotions are playing a reel on his handsome face.I didn’t know what to say, let alone how to face him.“I’m sorry Tristen, I didn’t know she would do that” tears fell from my eyes. He didn’t say anything for a few moments, still processing what happened. He touched the tender spot between his neck and shoulder, it was already beginning to heal. I could see the intricate design of the mark forming on him.He sighed before sitting next to me on the staircase. Silence engulfed us, our thoughts running
JAELA I stood abruptly, putting distance between us startling him at my sudden movement. Pacing back in forth in front of him like a madwoman. Mumbling to myself. I didn’t know how close he was until his hands landed on my shoulders. shrugging off his touch, taking a step back. Rejection surged in my chest; his once happy face marred with hurt. “Jaela, I’m the one who received a mark here, why are you acting as if the shoe was on the other foot.” I stopped in my tracks and glared at him. “So much for it not being my fault right, clearly you do blame me” I spat at him. “Omg Jae, nobody is blaming you, but you’re treating me like I’m the one who marked you. I don’t care that it happened, it was always going to be you anyway Jaela. Now stop it and come here” he beckoned me, opening his arms. His tone leaves no room for argument. Like a child I wrapped my arms around myself tightly. Being scolded by Tristen was not on my list of things to do today. Am I overreacting though? we both kn
TRISTEN Honestly it took everything in me to pull myself away from her. If Bree hadn’t shown her face here, I would have stayed even longer with her in my arms. What the hell is she thinking anyway. We had this discussion before I left for the ball, she was to stay in the pack lands. Sometimes I wish she would pack her things and move on but let her tell it she loves me too much. What a load of crap, I’ve been trying to be sympathetic to her feelings but now they are just rubbing me the wrong way. I glanced at my watch to check the time. Each pack is supposed to meet at the Portland Hotel Field by eight am, from the looks of it I have about forty-five minutes until I’m due to be there. “Are you guys there yet?” I mind linked Skylar. His angry voice pierced through my mind like an angry bear. “NO! I am not, she won’t leave your suite, saying if you want her there you need to escort her yourself. I swear Tristen if you don’t get here, I will throw her through a window” he shouted. Tu
TRISTENThe wind picked up, blowing around us. Sky lifted his nose inhaling the air around us. His eyes closed. his features serene. Skylar opened his eyes and regarded Mia with affection. “Mate” he proclaimed softly; his eyes lost their light at the realization.I clapped him on the back reassuringly. ‘We will figure it out Sky. “What is the odds of you and Xavier both mating with Jaela’s sisters’ I said through our link, I laughed out loud. Surely it isn’t funny but the irony in it all.‘You think she figured it out yet?’ he asked.‘The way she’s eye raping you, I’d say yes. Congrats brother! If they were allowed to leave mystic moon more often you could have been together way before now’Terrance is a real prick! I’ve seen over the years how he treated the twins, as if they never mattered to him. Jaela has always been his little project, while he left the twins basically fatherless. I could never treat any of my children that way, whether they were mothered by an omega or not.Stat
TRISTEN ‘Sky, look into asshole Marcus’, I told him through our link. ‘Who?’ he asked. ‘That Marcus guy, Jaela’s chosen mate’, rolling my eyes. He was the one who he was from the start, now he’s eating crayons. ‘Why you wanna know about that guy?’ ‘Can you for once just do as I ask without the inquisition’ I need a new beta, maybe making my best friend my beta was a bad idea. smh, he’s going to drive me into a looney bin. I cut the link with Skylar, turning my attention back to Jae. I watched her walk towards the woods behind the bathrooms. Checking my surroundings, making sure nobody was watching me, I followed the direction she went. I stepped into the tree line looking around for her. the further I walked she was still nowhere to be found. What the hell! Where did she go? In the distance there was a small glint of light that formed. From the light, out stepped a stunningly beautiful woman. She was dressed in a simple off the shoulder white dress, a black belt around her wais
TRISTENPondering over the melody in my head, wanting some sort of recollection of where? When? I’d heard it. My mind drew blanks each time. I’d been in thought for so long, I didn’t notice that they both were looking to me with concern.“What was that you hummed” I asked Tayen, I needed to know.“It was a melody my mother used to sing to me and my brothers. When Jaela was first born, I used to sing it to her to quiet her crying. Worked every-time” she beamed at Jaela. A corner of Jaela’s mouth turned up into a slight smile.“What’s wrong babe?” Jaela rubbed my arm soothinglyI beamed at her. “Babe huh?”She punched my arm “shut up” she giggled “Seriously what’s on your mind” she asked, threading her fingers through mine.“That melody, I’ve heard it before. For the life of me I cannot remember where I heard it. Was there words to the tune?” I directed the question to her mother.They both looked at me funny “babe you were singing it.”“What?” I whispered.“You were singing it; I was s
SKYLARShadow Moon, Shadow moon. Our pack chanted after we took first place in the rally run and the fighting tournament. I had no doubt that we would win both without issue. Shadow moon has some of the best fighters in all the packs, this is why most fear us, but they respect us more. Alpha Levi made sure of it. We don’t throw power around like most back do.We respect our members and treat them like family. Our bonds are strong because of the leaders before us.There are two more events left before the final showdown. The council know how to throw events, this has been one of the best as of yet, I must say that I am really enjoying myself. Also, I have yet to have a quiet moment with Jae’s sister. I’ve been sneaking glances at her all day and haven’t missed her stolen glances as well.She is curious and I like it.“Sky, where the hell is Tristen” Bree asked, I turned away from her. She really grates my nerves, on top of that Tristen has me babysitting her like she is a child, and he
