JAGGED CHAPTER 28
DEVONNE’S POV“Really helpful” I grumbled as I headed back to the house, “how am I supposed to find a book with no title?!” I got into my bedroom and heard the shower running, I shrugged, Arian was probably taking a shower, I hadn’t seen any of his little mistresses around lately, so it had to be him. But My Wolf perked up “go in” she said and I simply shook my head “why? You don’t want a man to have privacy because you just happen to be his mate?” I teased back in my head. But she didn’t seem to be in a joking mood and her restlessness was seeping into me, I still didn’t know how to completely block out her emotions yet. “What’s wrong Mela?” “I don’t know” with that I just barged into the bathroom, I found Arian in the tub, actually I found him submerged in the tub filled with water. He wasn’t moving. I instantly went into panick mode and rushed to get him out, “Arian? Arian!” I yelled. He wasn’t responding. “Help!” I shouted, but it seemed like the whole pack house was empty. I
JAGGED CHAPTER 29
ARIAN’S POVWhen the pack doctor came in, he told me everything that I already knew. I wasn’t sleeping enough. He had asked me why, but I just told him to mind his business, even though I knew very well that he knew I had a mate I didn’t want to claim but I also was finding it difficult to reject. “Look, it’s either you accept her or reject her, there’s no in between” he said “Mind your own fucking business” I threw back. The pack house was empty save for me and Devonne, I didn’t even want to consider what could have happened if she weren’t there…. Now I owe her a debt, not just any, but a life debt. I went back to my room after the doctor left to find her still sleeping, I’d been avoiding her all week and she seemed to be spending a lot of time in the library. It’s something, for someone as rich and money minded as she was, she sure did like to read a lot of novels. I chuckled, my Luna is a novel lover. My Luna…. I started at the direction of my thoughts. Just then she stirred
JAGGED CHAPTER 30
DEVONNE’S POV“Did I just hear you talking to yourself?” Arian asked me. Oh, guess she was right about me being the only one who could communicate with her, it must have been a lonely few years. “It’s none of your business Arian” I huffed and fell back on the bed, throwing the covers over myself. “Come on you have to tell me, I need to know if my fated mate is a mad person” he said again, his voice sounding closer, I looked at him with narrowed eyes and found him looking amused. “I need to go to bed now mate” he smirked grabbing the covers with a large hand and throwing them open. I just turned the other way and slid closer to the edge of the bed. He chuckled, I heard the bed dip and then dip again closer to where I was, my eyes widened as I felt his arm around my waist, I screeched and scrambled away from the bed glaring daggers at him. He just laughed harder, “you … you should’ve seen your face!” “Glad to know my misery makes you happy” I deadpanned “Oh come on, you looked hilar
JAGGED CHAPTER 31
DEVONNE'S POV“what the fuck was that?” Arian asked frantically, running his hands all over my face, I had gotten myself back after several minutes and gulping a glass of really cold water that he had handed me. I ignored his question and asked instead “how did you know what to do?” “I didn’t, I just acted I guess, you were like lava, and ah… cold is like the opposite of heat” he said, rubbing the back of his head, pretty sure he just realized he was stuttering “I just screamed because I felt so much heat, guess I have to master these witch powers as soon as possible huh” I said letting out a nervous laugh. I wasn’t about to tell Arian that I had seen a weird blue haired lady in the mirror, followed by his dead, ‘not dead’ twin sister.“if Margot were here, she probably would’ve been able to help you” I just looked at him and was quiet, long enough that he felt he needed to clarify “Margot is…” “your twin sister, Edward’s mate and Ava’s mother, yeah, I know” I cut him off. “oh, I’ll
JAGGED CHAPTER 32
DEVONNE’S POV“Are you kidding me? This place is amazing!” I exclaimed, because it really was, it was just empty. I have a lot of businesses but I don’t quite know how to run a restaurant. Maybe I should partner with one when I’m back in LA so I can learn some new stuff. I made a mental note to check in with Sansa when I got back. “Ahem, earth to Devonne” I snapped out of my little daze to see an amused expression on Arian’s face “what?” “Well, if my guess is right, you were just imagining yourself as the owner of a restaurant weren’t you?” “Oh come on, I’m not that predictable” I scoffed, “oh yes you are” he countered “you’re one of the most successful business owners in all of California, not just LA, you’ve got to have the mind of a machine to achieve all that you have” I just looked at my lap, and this time when my stomach growled, I was thankful for it, because it meant I got to eat and choose not to divulge anything about my life. So we ordered and ate in silence, it wasn’
JAGGED CHAPTER 33
DEVONNE’S POV I paced my room anxiously the next morning. What just happened?! How am I going to face him now? He literally just said “mine” before zooming out the door, shifting before he crossed the threshold and bounding out the front door. “Shit, shit, shit” we didn’t even have sex yet and I had to get to my room on shaky legs. That orgasm was mind blowing, I’ll give him that, but…… I scrubbed at my face before heading to the bathroom. That Orgasm was mind blowing and I wanted another one. I went behind the shower curtain and started taking a shower, letting the warm spray wash away the feeling of last night, only….it didn’t. I had vivid images of his silver hair between my legs as he worked me with his tongue. I could almost still feel his tight grip on my hip. Remembering it alone was making me so dizzy, I placed my hand in the wall, panting. And a single word crossed my mind. Fuck. “Breakfast is ready” I heard in my head while drying off, did Arian just speak in my mind? “Y
JAGGED CHAPTER 34
DEVONNE’S POV“I will not talk to you about that over the phone” my father growled, “it’s either you get back to LA Or you get no answers at all, you have some questions to answer too” “Oh please, that’s just ridiculous, I have the right to know!” “And I am not denying you that right, you on the other hand are denying me the right to see you” I sucked in a breath and pinched the bridge of my nose. “ I can’t come back to LA right now” I said as calmly as I could manage, “why not?” “I have …. things to do here so….” I don’t think I stayed in my rooms for up to half an hour before Arian came knocking “Devonne? Is everything okay?” “I’m fine Arian” I shouted back. “If I should believe that, you have to open the door” “Ugh!” I exclaimed, but I stood up to go open the door anyway, “hey” he said, he was holding a plate that had burgers and fries in it and a plastic bag that probably contained soda. “Arian? I just ate” I said, looking from him to the bag and then back to him again. He s
JAGGED CHAPTER 35
DEVONNE’S POV “No way! You’re only saying that because you’re a werewolf, She’s much better with Edward” I argued around a mouthful of popcorn. Arian does know his way around the kitchen, we were watching twilight and had gotten into a little argument about who was best for the female lead. Personally I had a fettish for vampires, if they were secretly existing, I’d have been out the door. Seriously. “You’re only saying that cos you had a thing for Edward when you first met!” He said and I gasped in mock horror, “that is such a low blow Arian!” “Well then, You’re only saying what you’re saying because you’re being a typical girl” he scoffed and I laughed at his poor argument. I was about to point something else out when I heard a crash downstairs. With the way Arian tensed, I was sure he heard it loud and clear too. He was out the door In a heartbeat with a quick “stay here, I’ll go check it out” I waited all of 30 seconds before slipping out after him. “You’re not supposed to be h
