Even if Trisha let Jonathan kiss her, she doesn't lose it to the alpha.Therefore Trisha knows why Jonathan stopped when she didn't.It comes with the realisation that they are no longer each other's lover. Specially, Jonathan is not her lover."Jonathan..." Trisha chokes on her words. "We shouldn't- you... you shouldn't-" she looks away from the alpha. "We are no longer together... Like before, It's been a year and now we can't go back to how-how things were..." She looks at Jonathan then."Aren't we too broken to be together...?""When you throw me out... When we ended things... wasn't it for the both of us...?" Trisha said and Jonathan cups her face. "Wasn't that what we decided on...? That was for the better of us... It was the only way for us to go on with life. We took it for the better, right...? Then how can-""No." Trisha cut him in the middle.There is a fire burning inside Jonathan eyes. His eyes are red and blazin

Author POV:-Jace took one look at his best friend and burst out laughing. "What happened to you?"Jonathan had markers—in a variety of different colors—all over him. His body was colored in and outlined, and it looked as if a blind alcoholic had attempted to create new ones with glittery gel pens.Jonathan glanced down like he had forgotten the marker was there. "Oh. Rain did that. He likes drawing.""Have you ever heard of this thing called paper?"Jonathan punched him in the arm. "I'm encouraging creativity in my son. What are you doing with your son? Oh, that's right, you don't have one. So shut up about my parenting techniques and spar with me."And apparently, he and his family didn't know how to say no to Rain, because a week later he showed up to his meeting with nail polish and something that looked vaguely like flowers painted on his arms. Each nail—and parts of his skin because Rain wasn't too good at staying inside the lines—was a different color. His right thumb was brigh

Author Note:-Having been brought up by the man after her parents threw her like nothing, as a newborn child, Trisha was more than grateful when she was child, he was looking out for her, caring about her life ahead and was going as far as to introduce her to one of his owner son. Even he did all this because of money. She couldn't take more of him, so when Jonathan father had sent the proposal for their marriage, Trisha had to instantly agreed.Years into their marriage, Trisha still felt like a stranger. And now they usually spend their entire day outside, Trisha is working with Allen while Jonathan managed his company, and what little of the day remained passed by eating and sleeping. Trisha particularly didn't like the weekends, having someone home, yet feeling lost and lonely, was one of the worst feelings she had to experience, because Jonathan used to coop himself up in his room, working, walking out only when he needed breaks and speaking very little, more or less, when necess

Author POV:-Time flies in a blur and the mates settle where everyone's gathered around in a circle, with their chairs, for lunch. The kids play among themselves running overjoyed, around their parents, wanting nothing to do with the stories that the elders share and laugh about. Trisha listens in awe to a story about submarines and seas that one of Jonathan far away cousins who works in ships narrates and giggles at a particularly funny part, much the same as everyone."Hm?", Jonathan offers another spoonful of rice to the Omega at which Trisha turns her head enough to take the food in her mouth, her eyes focussed on another person who's now sharing the experience of her solo trip that he had taken in a foreign land.You see, when Jonathan had motioned Trisha to sit and offered to bring her the food, Trisha had not expected that the Alpha would come bearing a single plate for both of them. Turning shy, she didn't call it out. Jonathan had simply started feeding her alternatively whil

Author POV:-Jonathan rushes inside the house, up towards his old room where they had deposited their little bag of necessities that they had brought along.His hands work quickly to unzip the bag, eyes looking for a familiar pink blanket that the Omega had shyly asked him to scent this morning. Of course he had granted his adorable mate what he had wanted, not able to resist her beautiful, innocent eyes."Oh, there it is", he smiles when he manages to find the blanket and starts packing the things he had taken out on the floor.Walking out of the room, Jonathan can sense some discomfort through their bond which he reckons must be Trisha wanting him to be there, close to her soon. He won't lie, he finds it endearing every time his Omega seeks him out, his wolf taking absolute pride in being of any service to Trisha. In very long time, the tiny Trisha had managed to consume every part of his life. His wolf and him, much the same, always remain alert and intune with Trisha emotions, not
