JADEN Was I really going to do what she'd asked? She'd sounded so sure that I was going to show up at the dining room and have dinner with her. I wondered what motive she had in mind, especially since she was more complicated than I thought. Or maybe, she wasn't. Maybe, this was her personality. A part of me wanted to know her and the other part of me? Not so much. My stomach grumbled and I let out a sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose. 'Come on, Jaden. It's clear that you're starving. It can't be so bad to hang out with our mate. Mother Selene wouldn't have made a mistake in choosing her as our mate' Tarus stated and I leaned back on my seat, rubbing my jaw. He had a point there. 'You can't be afraid of losing her. You're no longer a weak nineteen year old werewolf. You are a demon wolf and you are more than capable of protecting your mate' Tarus added. He was right. Deep down, I wasn't scared. I'd made myself believe that I was avoiding starting a relationship with Rhea bec

JADEN All eyes were on me as I made my way towards one of the unoccupied chairs in the royal court room. I could feel Zaden's burning gaze at the back of my head, but it didn't bother me. The Alpha King's seat was unoccupied and a few Alphas were yet to arrive, including Matthias.'He's annoying. I want to punch the hell out of him right now' Klaus said to me from his position beside me. 'You're not the only one who wants to do that. But, we can't do that here. You have to pull yourself together, Klaus' I said through the mindlink. Matthias walked in with his Beta, Carl. Then, he approached me and shook hands with me. "Good to see you again, Jaden" he said with a smile. "Good to see you too, Matthias" I responded. He took his seat opposite me. Zaden glared at me, but I remained stoic. After a few more minutes, the chairs were all occupied. All except the Alpha King's Seat. When he finally walked in, we all stood up. The Alpha King of the South had ascended the throne at the

RHEA"And if you're wrong?" He asked, his voice low."I can't be wrong. I mean--"Before I could complete my statement, he had pulled me closer to him, cupped my face, and kissed me. My heart was jack hammering in my chest and there was a wild rushing in my ears when his lips met mine. My eyes slipped close and my fingers sank into his hair.My brain had shut down completely and the world around me had completely muted. I started to kiss him back and my legs became jelly. All I could feel was his soft lips on mine, kissing me senseless.When we pulled away, his eyes had darkened and we were so close, I could see the beautiful mix of brown and green in his eyes. We had both be rendered speechless. My wolf had been stunned too. Neither of us had expected it. But, I wanted more.He rose to his feet and I did the same. When he started to turn away from me, I grabbed his hand to stop him from leaving."Let's just say you only did that to shut me up. I want to know what I mean to you. I wan

RHEA There was silence at first. An eery silence that made shivers run down my spine, goosebumps appearing on my skin. Then, I heard it. The ear piercing cry of the rogue wolf. A howl of pain. I opened my eyes, my gaze resting on Jaden's large wolf which had pinned the other wolf to the ground, effortlessly. What was scary about this, was that the rogue wouldn't stop howling, despite the fact that Jaden wasn't even putting so much pressure on him. I didn't feel sorry for him, you see. He had tried to kill me. 'The only reason why I'm not ripping him apart yet, is because I don't want you to feel bad. But, I'm going to knock him out' Jaden told me. I sighed, turning away from them. 'Sure. What else are you going to do with him? He's a rogue who trespassed into your grounds' I said.'Darryl and Klaus will interrogate him' he said and moved towards me. The rogue wolf was lying on the ground knocked out. He suddenly shifted into human form and on the floor lay a pale teenager wh

RHEA Words couldn't entirely describe what I was feeling. I stared at her and she did the same. She looked just like me. It felt as though I was looking at my own reflection. Her hair had streaks of purple and she definitely had a similar fashion sense. Her lips were coated with bright red lipstick just like mine was, at the moment. She was wearing a skin-tight red dress and she rocked thigh highs as well as I did. Seconds bound by and all we did was stare. Jaden was at a loss for words, his gaze kept fleeting from my look alike to me. And just like that, I went down memory lane, recalling what I'd seen in my second vision. Jaden had been right. There was no other way to explain this.The woman standing in front of me was my twin. I didn't think it was a coincidence. Something was definitely up. Something really unusual. Klaus broke the rigid silence first. "Alpha Jaden, this is Alpha Thalia. Behind her is Corey, her Beta and Alan, her Gamma"Jaden robotically held out a hand to
