************Jason POV***********
The moment I walked into the dining room, I met Nero sitting at the table, and when his eyes locked with mine, he slightly frowned.
"Morning," Nero abruptly mumbled, taking a sip of his drink.
"How's Blake?" I uttered out loud, forgetting to say it in my head as I planned.
Silence fell between us as his eyes stared back at me cold and unwavering.
Then he suddenly stood from his seat, drank the rest of his drink, and hit the mug on the table.
"What's been going on in your mind lately?" Nero asked as he walked towards me, his eyes cold as steel.
*****************Blake POV************ Swaying my gaze off Nero, I met Luna's eyes and said, "Yeah, Jason takes good care of me, so I don't need to indebt myself at a price that I can't pay." "I'm not asking you to pay me," Loki said, frowning slightly with his eyes on mine. Why he was trying this hard to suddenly be my dad after learning that my wolf had woken up was just suspicious in all the ways, and that made me want to stay far away from him. But then again… mother. "And I'm not asking for your money!" I mumbled. After staring at me for a while, Loki walked away, storming out of the classroom. "See you tonight." Luna's voice dragged my gaze back on Nero and her. With a smile on his lips, he stroked her cheek and said, "Sure." After watching Luna walk away, Nero looked my way, but I cast my gaze on the desk and allowed myself to go numb. After Nero's class was over, Jason and I left the room, and I didn't dare look back at him, knowing that I would only be breaking my hea
****************Luna POV***********The calm music playing, the laughter of the guests, and the small chit-chat, all these sounds pissed me off.Standing in this hall and smiling with people is annoying as fuck. But what annoyed me, even more, is that Nero is late, and he's the reason that I am even here.Dad suddenly caring about Blake is the most frustrating thing that could happen to me right now, and it has been messing up my head like crazy.This party is the biggest insult dad can throw at my face, and if I wasn't still in a submissive position, I would have rained hell tonight.Feeling like I was about to explode from the rage that I have been suppre
****************Blake POV***********This house has been so much hell for me that walking back in it makes the hair on my neck stand and my heart double its beat.When Jason and I arrived inside the ballroom, I felt awkward being here. In the past, I was our family's shame and they weren't proud to show me off, so I didn't get to attend the fancy party.That's why I went crazy using Nero's card to purchase this dress that had a lot of zero on the price tag, and I kind of am hoping that he never asked me about the price or the large sum of money that is missing from the card because I can not pay him back.Tonight, I didn't want to look or be pathetic because my childhood was, my love life is, and that's how I
*****************Jason POV**********After noticing Loki walk into the room without Blake, I felt a rise of fear, and my gaze remained glued to the doorway.Finally, I saw her, walking through the door, and I slowly inhaled, feeling a sense of calmness wash over me.Subconsciously, I felt my lips pulled upward as Blake walked further into the room and approached me."So…" I mumbled, meeting her eyes."We are going to stay a bit longer," Blake said with a shaky smile. "Is that okay with you?""Sure,""Thanks,"&nb
**************Nero Pov************The silence in the hall was loud as Blake glared at Luna and said, "There! Is that enough proof for you!"After her remark, I could feel Luna's eyes on me, but my gaze was on Blake as I tried to make sense of the kiss and get my anger under control.Swaying her focus off Luna, she glared at Noble and said, "I'm fine with the mate that I have, and there is zero attraction between your son and me. But I hope he finds the one for him. However, it's not me!""I, Killain will not take such disrespect from the Hayes family! Do you sis…" Killian shouted, pausing when his father threw him a side-eye.But I wanted to h
*************Blake POV*********The thought of skipping a class wasn't something I thought to be doing. But the less of Nero that I see, the more quickly I could forget about him.Last night was the worst, and this morning was even more terrible. Jason had not spoken a word to me, and I did the same because I felt ashamed that I used him at the party.Also, he and Nero weren't speaking to each other either, and I feel like it has something to do with me. But then again, it could be more than that."Blake!" I heard the instructor call out my name, and I slowly raised my eyelid.Ignoring his call, I kept my head on the desk and shut my eyes, feeling tired to
**********Luna POV*********** Nothing had been the same in this house since Blake went through her so-called transformation. My father and mother had grown a bit distant, and although they hadn't fought, I knew that the words they were holding back could start a war within the pack. "Dad!" I shouted, stopping at the steps when I saw him grab the front door handle. "Luna!" My father mumbled, turning around to face me with a weak smile on his face. With my eyes fixed on his, I walked down the last two steps and hurried over to him. "Where are you going?" I asked, grinning at him. Of cours
************Jason POV**********We haven't spoken to each other, Nero and I. We ignored each other this morning, and I still can not believe a day like this exist.Blake is avoiding him too, and I can't stop wondering what they talked about last night. Did they argue because of the kiss? Is that why Nero wasn't talking to me?I was mad at him for lying to me and keeping things about Blake and him from me for this long and that I had to find out from her. But what was his reason for looking so pissed this morning?Staring down at my boots, I took a deep breath, and then my phone vibrated in my back pocket.After getting it out, I looked at Harley's nam
