Claimed by the Arrogant Alpha .Chapter 11: mixed signals maybe? .“Jessica,” Tasha started but a pleading look from Kai and she stopped. Jessica gave Tasha a tight smile, I can handle it. This wasn’t Tasha’s problem, it was Jessica’s, and she had to fix it herself. “Fine. Fine!” the Beta snapped to herself more than anyone else. She gave Jessica’s shoulder a quick squeeze, making sure she really was okay, before spinning back to Kai, eyes grave. “But, I swear, if she comes back upset again I will –”“Alright, that’s enough you two,” Amir interrupted, taking Tasha’s hand as he tried to put into words the torture she had in store for Kai. “I think he got the message. Yes, I know, he’s a brat. Let’s go, Jessica will be fine.” Amir glanced over his shoulder at Kai and maybe it was because he was older, or his piercing stare, or something else entirely that Jessica couldn’t quite pinpoint, but she swore everything became tenser than before. The air seemed to get colder, too. Kai m

Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha .Chapter 13: newly mated wolves .Oh. He does want to mate with me. Jessica felt indescribably, unbelievably, immeasurably happy. Tears started to form in her eyes and her mind was unable to grasp anything except that he wants to mate with me. Her wolf was deep in thought, contemplating Kai’s words, but secretly pleased. Jessica bit her lip. “N-Now?”Kai’s eyes crinkled at the corners as he laughed. So beautiful. “That depends on you.” He brushed back a stray tear, fingers gentle against her cheek. “If you want to be my mate, that is. If you know you won’t regret it in a few days. If you’re sure you’re doing this for the right reasons.” Jessica heard the trace of worry Kai tried to disguise.Right reasons?Jessica dropped her gaze to Kai’s collarbones, unable to handle the Alpha looking so vulnerable. Without his good looks, without his status, Kai would still make Jessica’s heart race. He was understanding, and patient, and respectful. He was t

I feel like a proud grandmother.”Jessica looked up at her best friend, suddenly feeling very shy (and a little creeped - why 'grandmother?'). Not because of Natasha’s dramatic reaction, but because Amir was beside her. Jessica thought back to the horrible impression she must have given Amir days ago– all drunk and clingy and whiny. She and her wolf cringed. They’d definitely have to apologize and thank him for dealing with that later. Saint had reacted like Jessica’s mother, squealing and fussing over her, whilst Saint’s father, the mayor talked quietly with Kai. His father wasn’t a scary or terribly strict person, but she was sure he would say something about treating Jessica well. Yves and Amir had acted as if they’d already suspected as such.“All

Saint didn’t notice the exchange between the brothers as he stared out the window in awe at the moving buildings.“I called Chanel after landing.” Yves said after the short silence. “Is she home?.” “No she’s not, still at work but she called me after,” Valentino laughed, “yelled at me the whole time to drive faster. Which I was doing, I'll have you know. The paparazzi are a little too pesky to get rid of. Last thing we want is an ugly scandal on your first day back home with your mate.” Yves chuckled at that, hiding behind the smile, his paralyzing fear, that of some unfortunate rumor, some vile scandal involving him and Saint to be thrust into the media by the press. “Don’t worry, pup. I’ve already talked to all my teams, nothing will

Chapter 19: family benefits, I guess? .“You know I feel so sad that we left Tasha and Amir behind.. .” Jessica said as they came out of the chartered taxi which stopped them in front of the airport. “I came together with Yves and Amir doesn’t mean we should all go back home together too. Besides Amir and Natasha need all the privacy they can get to mate each other because they are definitely not touching each other like that at our family house.” Kai responded as he shuddered at the thought of walking in on the two having sex. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. “Sex isn’t allowed in your family house?.” “I feel like I should warn you and not sugarcoat the whole thing,” Kai started talking as they grabbed their bags out of the trunk of the taxi. “About what?” Jessica asked, taking her bag. “I’ve actually taken an airplane before, I know how shitty long flights can be, but I have my switch and I’m definitely going to fall asleep on your sh
