Malia
After the kiss, Jaden seemed to be fighting his wolf not to devour me at the minute that we were in the same place."This is your room," He opens a door, giving me entry. "This is where you will sleep. Luna's room is next to mine.""This is Luna's room?" I ask, amazed."Yes, that's what you will be." Jaden murmurs with a huge smile."Jaden, I don't..." I turn to face him, but I lose my words.I can't accept this. I can't simply take a place like that. I never imagined it would be mine. He is King Alpha, not by right, but by honor. What did I do to help conquer his empire? What did the moon goddess see in me to hand me over to an Alpha King?"I don't understand," He says, holding my elbow. "Why don't you want Luna's room?""I'm not Luna, Jaden. You're not even sure if I'm your mate, so how can you give me such an honor? I don't know if I deserve this!""And why wouldn't you be?" He asks, with confusion in his eyes."I don't know. I'm divorced!" I stare at my fingers. "I was rejected and didn't have a she-wolf until a few hours ago. I'm confused about the things that are happening."Jaden holds my fingers, forcing me to look at him. His eyes seem to be searching for something on my face, too attentive."Forget everything I said, okay?" His eyes are piercing against mine. Jaden seems to be fighting something within himself. "Rest."And he left, leaving me alone in the room.I stare at the door for a few seconds before. I start to explore the whole place, curious.The room had no decoration. The walls were white, and a vanity stretched on the left wall, with a large mirror that took up a good part of the wall. A king-size bed and two bedside tables with lamps. A little table on the balcony with two chairs."He is so beautiful." The voice in me catches my attention, making me jump in place."W-who are you?" I ask, sitting on the comfortable bed."I am Fawn, your she-wolf." She says, excited. "I've been hiding for so long," I close my eyes, and she's there, stretching her legs. "It's so good to be able to walk.""Why have you been gone for so long?" I ask, letting the bitterness show in my voice."I needed to, Malia. Or they would have used you," she murmurs."Why would they use me? What do I have so special besides being a woman without a she-wolf?" I ask, curling up in the bed."Malia, if I had shown up before... it would have hurt a lot when your mate betrayed you. It would have hurt even more when your link with him has broken. You could never have been happy in that place..." She explains."You knew everything? Did you know everything that would happen to me?" I question, shocked. I never heard about wolves being able to predict the future."Of course, dear." She sighs, trying to appear calmer. "I feel so sorry that you had to go through so much. Those people were cruel to you, but it won't go unpunished. They will regret all of this. Now, you are with your true mate.""And Joshua wasn't my true mate?" I say, furrowing my brow."Yes, but it's difficult to explain now. There are things I can't tell you so as not to interfere with your destiny, Malia. I'm no ordinary wolf here, so you'll have to make up your own decisions when that day comes. But initially, you can enjoy it with your mate...""I don't know if he wants me," I say, throwing myself back."Of course he does. He's a possessive wolf, haven't you seen? He's very handsome," She gives a sly smile. "Enjoy with him while you still don't have headaches.""If only he wanted me..." I pout."Stop with this nonsense. It has a bad past. Lilith will reassure him about you." She says confidently."And when can we transform?" I ask, excited."Very soon." She says, excited. "I can't wait to meet my mate. Joshua was boring," she rolls her eyes, and I chuckle. "Jaden seems more wild. And now, we will have the bond."I run my hand over my neck and sigh, excited. Everyone I know carries the mark of their mate, except for me. Being a wolfless has its downsides.Two knocks on the door startle me, and I sit up in bed, shouting. "Come in.""Hello, you must be Malia!" The blonde girl enters the room, and I shrink."Yes, and you?" I ask."Catherine. I'm Jaden's cousin." She smiles, excited. Her hand was towards me.I shake it, still awkward."I can't believe Jaden found his predestined mate. He searched for so long." She holds my face between her fingers. "And you're still beautiful. Where are you from?""Red Stone Pack," I murmur, and she widens her eyes, staring at me."What are you doing so far from home?" She asks, furrowing her brow. "Don't tell me...""Don't disturb her so much," Jaden says, entering through the door. "Catherine, I told you she needed to rest.""I'm not taking your mate to a party. I'm trying to make her feel at home." She smiles at me, showing the dimple on her cheeks. "How are you?""Fine," Jaden lightly hugs her. Fawn growls inside me. "Your mate is looking for you.""He can't live without me." She says, displaying a proud smile. "See you later, Malia?""Uh, sure!" I smile, still not knowing how to act around her.When she leaves, I take my eyes to Jaden."What happened?" I ask."I came to call you for dinner," he murmurs. "But the view from your room is very nice. We can stay here if you want.""Are you sure?" I wink at him."Catherine will have the company of her mate, while Lilith likes to be alone. She'll thank you for not having to socialize. And besides, you're sick," Jaden smiles. "I won't force you to strain yourself now, future Luna."His smile widens. He seems much less confused than hours, his eyes now have a sparkle, and even with a grain of doubt, I feel happy to be with him and finally to be able to feel all the emotions that the bond brings at once.Jaden I paced back and forth in my office. Lilith was sitting on the floor, legs folded in a butterfly position, hands resting on her knees, posture upright, eyes closed, and the natural crease in her forehead, which always appeared when she was very focused. "If you keep walking like that, you're going to open a hole in the floor." She says, floating on the floor. A circle was drawn with salt around her and some candles were carefully lit outside. "Am I bothering you?" I ask, stopping to stare at her. "Yes!" It's the only thing she responds before seeming even more immersed. I sit in the armchair and run my hands over my face one or two times, rubbing my fingers together. I was too anxious to stay still. Seconds later, Lilith sits on the floor and opens her eyes. She stares at me with narrowed eyes and stands up, dusting off her long dress, moistening her lips, and walking towards me. "I could hardly see anything, all because of your impatience." She huffs, sitting in front of
Malia When Jaden opens the door, I finally take everything in, stunned, too shocked to believe. The room is huge with several shelves that go from floor to ceiling. "Is all of this... yours?" I ask, and I'm sure my eyes are sparkling. I have always been passionate about books and the world of books. Hiding in a life that wasn't mine seemed much more comfortable than having to deal with my harsh, unhappy, and humiliating reality. I also wasn't allowed to touch the library in my house. I had to clean and help the maids, who were the only nice people to me in that house. My parents didn't have a rank in the pack, but they were rich, and for them, it was disrespectful that I was so weak and incapable. I was hidden from society for several years, studied at a public school of the pack, and couldn't say that I was from the family. I suffered bullying at home and school, being rejected by my family to the point of living like a poor omega. They were never ashamed to show everyone that I
A little clumsily, I stood up and took quick steps towards Jaden, finding Catherine standing in the doorway. "Oh, dear," she puts her hand to her lips. "I got in the way of something." "No," "Yes," we say at the same time and face each other seconds later. "Of course, she got in our way," he rolls his eyes. "What does Liam want?" "No, but he's downstairs, waiting in the Hall!" She sighs heavily. Jaden keeps a scowl on his face and waves to her as he leaves the room. He doesn't face me and I realize that he must not be someone my mate likes to receive. "He also brought an entourage with him," Catherine mutters, walking a little behind me. I face her, frowning. She gives me a meaningful look and I just nod, trying to keep my tongue inside my mouth. I don't feel comfortable giving my opinion and I've never had that space with Joshua and his family. At times, I believed that I was a piece of work that they kept with them. We wolves believe in the power of the bond. When the
Jaden "I stretch in the middle of training. Lilith wiggles her legs in amusement as she stares at my shirtless companions doing the same warm-up as me. I watch her as she sticks a licorice in her mouth and takes a bite. "Take your eyes off her," my coach says, raising my face to him. "Sorry," I whisper. "You'll be Alpha, Jaden! You have to keep your head on straight and set an example," he mutters. "Don't let me down." "Got it!" I whisper. He takes a few steps back, moving out of my way and leaving me face-to-face with Liam. My cousin. The biggest son of a bitch in the world. I fucking hated him. He could be a fucking pain in the ass, even if we only saw each other a few times a year. He'd come here for the vacations and my uncle demanded that he train to keep fit, even though I didn't think it was necessary. "You really like the witch," he says, giving me a teasing look. "I could never see anything in her before," her eyes meet mine as a challenge, "but now you seem to
'Wake up, you idiot!' I hear a grunt inside my head and shift in bed. 'Liam is already in the dining room and chatting away, I'm not putting up with this alone,' Catherine says, angrily. I open my eyes, still trying to orient myself. By this time, the TV screen has already been turned off and the room is dark. I slept better than I had in months. I feel stupidly light. The smell of Malia invades my nose and I groan, feeling hard. Almost at the same time, she stirs and I close my fingers against her blouse. "What time is it?" She asks, her voice hoarse and sleepy. "Dinner time," I murmur. "Oh, heavens!" She sits up quickly. "We need to get ready." "The idea of declining dinner with that idiot and spending the night in bed with you sounds so good to me," I whisper as I sit next to her. I hide my face in her neck and nibble, as I hear her moan softly. Her hairs stand on end and she closes her legs. The smell of her excitement fills the room and she moistens her own lips. "Jaden,"
“Go to your room, don’t wander around, Malia, Liam isn’t a trustworthy type.” Lilith scores for me.She presses the elevator button and we wait for it to arrive. Going down those stairs is much easier, but when I ventured up, I had to stop more times than necessary.I agree with her silently and enter the elevator. the doors take a while to close and we stare at each other. I exhale as soon as I feel it starts to rise.This place is so beautiful, it's a shame that I can't enjoy it as I would like because of an unwanted visitor. I enter my huge room and close the door, throwing myself onto my very comfortable bed.The feeling of peace hits me almost instantly and I smile broadly.‘He’s a huge idiot,’ Fawn complains in my head.I close my eyes to see her and smile at her broadly.‘Fawn, it’s good to see you!’‘I know, you need to get used to my presence, darling,’ she rolls her eyes. ‘I hate that we can’t talk anymore.’‘Sorry, I’ve been really busy,’ I say guiltily.‘Our mate is so cut
Jaden I opened my eyes and an almost automatic smile flashed across my face. I turned around only to find my mate wrapped up in the comforter, naked, her scent wafting around me. She snores and I kiss her forehead, sitting down on the bed and looking outside, where the shutters were open. 'Are you going to leave her alone in this huge bed?' Mark growls in my head. 'We have a life to look after, Mark,' I roll my eyes. 'The idea of lying on her and making her mine is very tempting, but we need to look after our people, our pack!' 'I want to keep my mate, Boy!' he grunts. 'Are you really not satisfied with her by now?' I point, laughing. 'We've had sex so many times this morning, I thought you'd be tired. 'We're only thirty-one, Jaden,' I see him roll his eyes and stretch out his paw. 'If you're out of shape, that's your bad luck!' He gives me a lopsided grin. 'I'm too fit to fill my mate up with my puppies. 'Have you asked her if she wants to carry your puppies, plural?' I ask
I gave in to her, I gave in to those round almond eyes that stared at me and reminded me of all the madness of last night. I gave in because I simply couldn't deny anything she asked of me. As soon as we arrived at the gym, Malia looked very calm, staring at all the almost two-meter-tall louts warming up. "Good morning, sir," the coach said, bowing to us. Followed by a chorus from the members of my army. "Good morning," I wave to everyone. "Today we have a new... member?" I stare at her, a crease forming in the middle of my forehead. "Participant, I don't know... Anyway," I let the air out of my lungs. "That's my mate, Malia, I hope you'll take her in and treat her well, please. She's going to train with us today!" I was hoping she would turn and run in fear, but she smiled openly and waved excitedly. The trainer approached in strides, his eyes wide and frightened like two huge balls. "Luna," he curtsied. "My king, don't you think it's imprudent that..." "He does," Malia int
