My brows furrowed from Jace's facial reaction. He messed up his hair, washed his face with his hands and walked near my direction. I cross my arms as I look at him.“Jace, is everything alright?”“Uhm, yes, of course. I just go out for a moment to check the surroundings.” I nodded my head from what Jace had told me. Although I wasn't convinced by his alibis for some reasons, I realized that I shouldn't think that way. Jace was telling the truth and I shouldn't have doubted him.“It was still the middle of the night, Jace, and let's get back from sleeping.” I said and he just looked at me. Jace nodded his head, so I turned my head back to the bed when Jace immediately grabbed my hand. I turned my gaze back to him with my curious reaction.“I have something to show to you, baby,”I furrowed my brows while staring at his face. My heart started pounding so fast as I felt something from him.“W-What is that?” I asked, but Jace just smirked. He starts pulling my hand and I have left no oth
My sight had started to darken. The pain was unbearable, however, Jace never let me lose my sanity. He stopped biting my neck before my body gave in. I breathed so deep and Jace held my shoulders to look at me.“Are you alright?”I could sense the worries from his voice, so I nodded my head in response to tell him that I was fine.“I-I am fine, Jace.” I said, but Jace wasn't convinced with my answers. He wrapped his hands around my waist and looked at me deeply into my eyes.“I know you're not alright, baby, and I am sorry for the pain that I have caused. Tell me what I should do to ease the pain you felt.”A smile formed my lips as Jace had said. I do appreciate it and the pain that I have felt from my neck has started to decrease. So, I caressed the bite from his teeth and there's a bolt of electricity flowing from the wound and to my hand as I touch it.I have never expected this day to come, that I was finally marked by the Alpha I love. The happiness that I felt right now was une
After the marking ceremony earlier, everyone went back to their respective houses as well as my parents. Jace and I went back to his cabin to rest. I couldn't express in words how happy I was now. Jace marks from my neck brought something within me that I haven't felt before. It seems like I felt whole after he marked me.“Let's go to sleep, Margaux.”Those words were whispered by Jace in my ear that made the strand of my hair stand on both ends. The way his hot breath crawls to my skin, I felt my whole body tense by that.“I know it, Margaux.” My wolf had responded from what I was thinking and I couldn't help rolling my eyes in irritation. Jace noticed that and he laughed which made me flush. I wasn't expecting to learn that my mate was observing me.“What makes my girl roll her eyes?” Jace asked and I bit my bottom lips to stop the blushing of my face.“It's my wolf, Jace. She's teasing me, you know.” I said and Jace just laughed.“Nah, don't mind her, baby. What's important now is
The Alpha's letter bothers me so much. I can't wait here knowing that Jace leaves without my permission. Wherever he is now, I have to follow him.“We have to respect the Alpha's order, Margaux!”Just because of what Luna said, I was stopped by what I was about to do. I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes to calm my shaking nerves.“You don't understand, Luna. I didn't want something bad to happen to Jace and I couldn't sit here knowing that he's not beside me!” I responded.“Come on, Margaux. You don't have to protect our mate because he can do it himself. He's an Alpha King and from what you want to do, it seems like you're telling him that he's useless and weak!”I was caught off guard by what my wolf had said. Her words were like a slap to my face and I hated to admit it, but she's right. I don't have to protect Jace because he's an Alpha king and I have almost forgotten that. However, that's not my point. I have this feeling that someone planned to do something against him when I
The rapid beats of my heart didn't want to stop as I was walking down the hallway of this pack. I have noticed all the werewolves doing their own responsibilities today. They are all busy and as I looked at them, I could feel nothing but fear. I wasn't sure where those fears came from. Whatever I feel right now is unexplainable.However, I keep pushing myself that everything is alright. Whatever I felt right now means nothing and I shouldn't worry about it. I just continued walking to the house of my parents until someone called my attention.“Miss Margaux!”I stopped my feet to look for him. Sean, the Alpha's trusted werewolf, runs through my direction with a different expression on his face that I couldn't tell what. My heart started pounding again as I saw that reaction from him.“Is everything alright?” I asked and tried to make my voice energetic.“You have to know about what happened to Alpha Jace.”My fists clenched, my heart pounding so fast and my tears streamed down my face
My brother Luke and some of the werewolf fighters had started their search and operation mission. They started looking for Jace while I was here in my parents' house walking around the living room while they were sitting on the couch.“Dear Margaux, you can rest for a while.” Mom had finally spoken up, so I turned my head in her direction. I let out a deep breath and sat next to her.“I couldn't wait to sit here, mom. I have to do something to help find Jace.”Mom held my two hands and started pressing it while she's trying to look at me deeply into my eyes.“Do you want to see Jace, right? Then you have to wait here because if you leave, there's a possibility that the two of you won't meet and it will only worsen the situation. Jace would probably be the one to look for you if you aren't here when he returns.” I was a bit shocked by what my mother had told me. It took me about a minute before I could reply to her.“You are right, mom. I shouldn't leave the pack because Jace would pr
A deep breath escaped from my throat as I forced myself to forget about what I had felt. Whatever I have felt right now would only bring me into destruction. I continued walking until I reached Jace's cabin. But what shocked me when I arrived was Jace.He's standing at the living room area while roaming his eyes around the area like he's trying to memorize every corner of it.“Jace?”I called his name to get his attention and then he turned his head. The way he looked at me, I couldn't feel the spark in his eyes anymore. There is something different from how he looked at me and it seems like Jace doesn't love me.“I couldn't believe that I would step on this land again,” he said, which made me clench my fists in nervousness.“W-What do you mean, Jace?” I asked but he just smirked.“I thought I wouldn't be back because of what happened. I have encountered so many enemies in my way, Margaux, and I thought it would be the end of my life. However, I am grateful that I was still alive.”I
His laugh almost echoed in the whole forest. The way he laughed, it's as if he's mocking my capabilities. I am grateful because I have learned so early that this man is not the real Jace. But instead, he's Jace's twin brother.“Where the hell is my mate, asshole?” I growled to stop him from laughing.“I told you already that I keep my brother away from you, away from this pack. You can't see him anymore.”His response makes me grit my teeth in anger. I want to kill him now but I worry that Jace might get mad with me. This is still his twin brother but if he messes around, I don't know if I could still control myself. He already killed some of the pack members and I wouldn't allow him to kill more of them.“Tell me where Jace is. I am begging you to stop all of this. Jace was your twin brother and you must not hurt him.” I was doing my best to convince to stop everything that he was doing right now. However, he doesn't seem to care about my words because of how he smirked at me.This m
