#Chapter16JASON__"Where the fuck did you find this?" I snapped."It was in the woods next to a dead wolf." Brent brought to my attention. "On my patrol, I picked up the scent of a vampire, so I followed it. I found a dead pack member with this note right next to her."I looked down at the letter again. I took a few deep breaths, struggling to contain my rage."Who was it?" I questioned. "The pack member.""Her name was Jocelyn."The name rung like bells in my head repeatedly until it hit me. The bartender from the club.What the fuck is going on? I snatched up the letter and ran out the back door and into the woods. I refused to shift because I knew my wolf would take control and get the best of me…ANIYAH__"Dad, let's go, we are going to be late." I stepped into my mother and father's walk-in closet.I watched him adjust his tie and add his cufflinks. With his eyes focused on me in the mirror, I watched a smile grow. He turned around with a soft g
#Chapter17Waking up, I found myself scorching. The blankets felt so heavy on my body, like they were weighing me down. I attempted to toss the blanket off of me, but something was restricting it. I groaned out in agitation. Reaching down to move whatever it was weighing me down; I felt an arm."What the hell?" My eyes shot open. Blinking to adjust my eyes to the beaming light, I looked down to see an arm wrapped around my hip.Hell no. I tried to lift the arm off me, but it would not budge. What? Is his arm made of steel? Or am I that weak? I shimmied down the bed, sliding out of his heavy grasp. I slid down to the bottom of the bed and landed with an oomph on to the floor.I stood up to see Jason sound asleep. I smiled a little at how comfortable he looked sleeping. Realizing I should not be here, I turned around and tip-toed out of his bedroom.I closed Jason's door behind me and turned to head toward my room. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Aaron walki
#Chapter18Jealousy getting the best of me, I finished my plate and walked out the kitchen and in to the entertainment room. The guys were sitting around watching the sports channel, as usual."Hey, where's Keira?' I interrupted."Patrolling." Brent's eyes were glued to the television.A.J nudged him."Patrolling? Patrolling what?" What the hell is that? Work?It became a silent stare down between everyone in the room. Am I missing something? Something didn't seem right, and I didn't like it."Um it's hard to explain." Brent stated. "It's like work, for our businesses.""Okay." I did not want to push any further because I felt like something wasn't right. They were hiding something and lying. I walked out the entertainment room and headed toward my room, well that's what I wanted them to think. I walked toward the steps and stood on the side of the staircase."You're going to get us in trouble if you don't watch what you say." AJ mumbled over the televisi
#Chapter19ANIYAH POV"I Aniyah Ross reject"I looked into his eyes. I watched as his glowing smile turned in to a frown, as his eyes were now glassy from near tears. I felt how he squeezed my thighs in nervousness. He closed his eyes and took a step back, still holding me, waiting.I took a deep breath and tried again."I Aniyah Ross reject-" A huge lump formed in my throat, stopping me from saying anymore. I had no idea why. Saying those words meant a lot to him, and for some reason, my heart began to hurt seeing him look so pained. "No." I sighed. “This is stupid.”He looked up at me, eyes filled with joy and contentment. He grabbed the back of neck, pulling me in to his lips again. He slid his lips down my jaw line to my neck."Princess, I want you so bad right now." He whispered into my ear. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. I felt my body giving in to him. I was so wet for him. I wrapped my legs around him and began tugging his shirt in attempt to
#Chapter20JASON POV..I opened the door. Brent was standing there. He looked disturbed and worried."What is it?""It's Keira." He blurted out.What happened?"I got a message that she was in trouble.”I followed him out of the house and deep into the dense trees. The smell of blood hit my nose. My anger quickly heightened.We ran further. Kiera was lying in the grass. Her body was bare from her shifting and covered in blood with a pack member knelling beside her."What the hell happened?" I demanded an answer. "I don't know." Someone mumbled. No one knew a thing. After requesting the proper covering, I knelled down in front of her and brushed her hair out her face. She jumped up and grabbed my hand in shock."It's okay, it’s just me." I assured her.Her eyes were wide alert, shifting between the many faces before her. I examined her and found a few bloody scars on her, but nothing that would not heal within a few days.Aaron ran up. He dr
#Chapter21ANIYAH__I felt tangled up in a web of blankets. It felt like something trapped me in and I wanted out. With my eyes still closed, I began tossing and turning, kicking off the blankets but they would not budge.I tried again, kicking, and pushing the thick blankets away from me harder, hoping to kick them away."I really wish you would stop!" A deep voice frightened me before I shot up."What are you doing?" I scurried away from him.“I was asleep until you started attacking me." He closed his eyes as if he was ready to fall asleep again.I don’t think so."No what are you doing in here?"Why was he here? When did he even get in here? Why didn't I notice? Question after question flooded my mind before I realized.... I’m barely dressed. No bra. No shorts. No underwear. Just a thin-T shirt. I tightened my grip on the comforter."Don't worry, I didn't look. But I will if you want me too." He smirked as he turned to face me.Where is his sh
#Chapter22So you wanna play with magicBoy, you should know what you're falling forBaby do you dare to do this?Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horseAre you ready for, ready forA perfect storm, perfect stormCause once you'r mine, once you're mine"I was singing a song I constantly heard on my Pandora app, 'Dark horse' by Katy Perry, and I had to admit, I have grown to like it. I was going through the closet and my bags for something to wear tonight for my outing with Carl.Can I say it was not a date?Keisha and Kiera walked in. They flopped down on the edge of my bed."What are you doing?" Keisha watched me pick through the many pieces of clothing."Well, I'm trying to find something to wear for tonight for my outing. Is this cute?" I asked, holding up a cute blouse with a knee length pencil skirt."Aniyah, I still think you shouldn't be going on this date." Kiera stated."Date?" Keisha seemed lost."Look ladies, it’s not a date. It’s just t
#Chapter23JASON__I was feeling the pressure. It felt as though everything was crashing down on me at once. My un-marked mate. Vampires. My home. I was carrying a weight on my shoulder I know would break me eventually.I walked out of my office and headed back over to Aniyah's room to find her. She was not there but the smell of her scent still lingered in her room. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen to see Keira and Keisha sitting at the table."Keira, where's Aniyah?" I opened the refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of water."Um she had to go to her house to get more clothing." She did not sound to truthful. Their racing hurts confirmed it. "Where is she Keira?" I asked again. I knew she could not keep anything a secret for long. Especially from me."I just told you, she went to her house.""If she did, whose escorting her? I told you she’s not allowed out without someone." I began getting angry, not just because they were lying, but because my mate
