I couldn't sleep properly last night as a gazillion thoughts raked my mind. I thought about taking off but staying at home would mean more depressing thoughts so I decided to go to the University. Jason was worried about me. He insisted on me staying home but I refused so he made me a coffee. After breakfast, we both went to University and he dropped me a little away after kissing me sweetly which still made my heart stutter.As soon as I stepped inside the campus I was greeted with angry and hating gazes. It made me frown. Why all the girls were looking at me like that was beyond my understanding. Susan came to my side while I was grabbing the books from my locker. We had talked last night after I charged my phone and I informed her that I left for home early."Are you okay?" She asked and I nodded my head."Why is everyone looking at me like that?" I asked and she sighed."Professor Jason is ultra popular among these girls and the charming Ryan was their dream boy and lastly both
Jason’s pov I wanted to attend the welcome dance party just for one purpose. To make sure no one hits on my sweet little mate but Julie's text annoyed me. She wanted to meet me and said that it was something really important which can't be discussed on the phone. I was pissed yet I told her I'll be there and the most frustrating part was.I had to lie to April about not attending the party. She was upset and it only made me edgier. I comforted her and left hoping to get done with whatever Julie had to tell me sooner.At university she walked into my office. "What is it you wanted to talk about?" I asked as soon as she took a seat."My father wants to visit the university," She said."Why out of the blue?" I asked."I think he wants to check our progress." She said,"The only reason we aren't forced into this marriage yet is that I told my father I wanted to gain your heart before marriage, and he seemed to believe me. That was why my father gave me time to be your assistant." Julie s
April's pov.I could scent Julie in the office. Without thinking much I barged inside and froze seeing Julie falling on him with her hands on his thigh as both of them looked at me stunned.I was too shocked to even move. My eyes moved from her hands on his thighs to their proximity. Julie's face flushed red and it was as if someone smacked me right across my face. The door closed behind me on its own as I stood there immobilized.Jason's eyes were wide as soon as he noticed me, his blue irises were swarming with a tinge of panic as he grabbed Julie's arm and moved her away from him before he let her go as soon as she balanced herself.Julie straightened her clothes and tucked a hair strand behind her ear as she breathed in deeply and schooled her expressions."My bad, I got startled by the sudden abruption," she said, looking calm and composed.Jason on the other hand still looked a little panicked as he got up from the seat and straightened up. He opened his mouth to speak but Julie
"Please, have a seat." He said in a tense voice but I didn't move from my place and kept staring at him for an explanation. He couldn't see it on my face but my heart was aching in pain.Oddly enough I felt betrayed. After everything, I went through a lot in life. I should be accustomed to heartbreak and ache but still, it hurts too much. Every time, the people closest to me hurt me the most. I was persistent in keeping the walls around my heart high and unbreakable and yet here I was. I let my guard down. I let Jason in. I let myself feel for him. He won my heart over and over again only to end up hurting me like this. But then again, he was just a human and human tends to make mistakes. But he is my mate. He shouldn't be hiding things from me. From his mate. In fact, he should trust me the most. The ache in my heart intensified as our gaze clashed."Angel, it's not what you're thinking. I never agreed to this marriage in the first place. My father is forcing this on me and I've bee
I left university. I walked down the street aimlessly as millions of thoughts raced through my mind. Jason and Julie being forced to marry each other, just the word marrying referring to both of them had my inside curling up in anxiety.Never in a billion years, I could've thought about such a thing. It was terrifying. I couldn't imagine the thought of losing Jason and here his father was forcing him to marry Julie. I know he would fight for us, but what if he gets married to Julie under pressure? What then? What will I do? Just the thought of it had my stomach knotting up. I know he also feels terrible under pressure, but I want to fight by his side, rather than see him and his "fiancée" help and trust each other, and I'm the third wheel. I've been sore just thinking about it. But he didn't want to worry me.I was frustrated, angry, and scared as my eyes fell on the bar. Without much thought, I went to drink. It was afternoon, so the bar was almost empty with just a few people aro
Disappoint washed over me because I thought it was Jason but to my surprise, the man was none other than Leon.What was he doing here? But does it really matter?I was still thankful that he helped me on time. I straightened up and watched as Leon walked to the groaning Ryan. "What the hell!" Ryan barked as he tried to stand.Leon grabbed his collar, yanked him up, and glared at him. "Who the hell are you?" Ryan grumbled trying to free himself. Leon glared at him coldly. "I could get you arrested for harassing her, you know." He sneered at Ryan who flinched. "She's my friend. Who are you to get involved in our matter? Let me go, I'm just talking to her," Ryan gritted as he tried to free himself but Leon jerked him closer with force."You don't even want to know who I am," Leon sneered and Ryan seemed terrified of Leon because Leon was using his Alpha aura which always instills fear in humans without them knowing what was happening."Leon," I said calmly as I stepped towards him. He
I was shocked and for a second I thought I heard him wrong, but he kept looking at me dead seriously, I gulped uncomfortably. He knows, I have a mate and I love him and he still wants me to join him.I bit the inside of my cheek contemplating how to refuse him politely as I focused my gaze on my food. All of a sudden I was tense and nervous.He chuckled throatily and I glanced at him surprised when our gaze collided. "Relax, I was joking." He said calmly but why did it seem like he wasn't joking at all?His eyes bore a serious expression but his lips said something else. He wasn't joking but I will not pinpoint it because then the atmosphere would get awkward."I was pretty persistent on making you my Luna just a few days ago. Because I know I won't be able to find such an amazing Luna like you. But I've given up on it since you have found your love and mate in the same person." He said and I lowered my gaze breathing in deeply.What did he mean by giving up? Did he really want me to
Jason stared at me for the longest of time and I couldn't bring myself to break the contact. His eyes spoke so many things but his lips refused to move. It seemed like he wanted to talk to me but couldn't find the right words. Ethan's groan of pain brought us out of our stupor. "April, can you get the first aid kit in the guestroom, please," Jason said hurriedly as he helped the limping Ethan inside.I hurried over to them and I quickly closed the door, bolting it before hurrying to get the stuff. Ethan was hurt on the back and it was claw marks. It could be a rogue attack, I hoped the injuries weren't serious as I made my way to the guest room but paused hearing the anger laced in Jason's hushed voice."I told you not to handle this task alone," Jason chided and Ethan grunted in pain as he lay on his front on the bed while Jason was cleaning his wound."It was just pack-related stuff, Jason. How the f*ck would I know I'll be attacked like this?" Ethan grunted in pain."Did you see
