Jake's pov
The plan was simple. Go let the family know that I'm in no way intrested in this marriage, not by words though, but by actions. I mean what parent will let a guy who has bad manners and lack of respect marry their daughter. Coupled with the fact that I detest their daughter ... I could already see the plan working as it plays in my head. I know that won't be enough to stop this marriage, but I'm sure I'll figure out something. With this thoughts I relaxed my heavy heart a bit. No way in this world will I betray Emily. My wolf, Zion growled at this. No one could hear him but I could. That's how werewolves are. Our wolves are separate from out human part. They have their own mind, can come out when the want to. But for the most part, our human side has more control over the body we shared.Right now I couldn't bother with Zion and the tantrums he keeps throwing because of the mate bond I rejected. I had other things to worry about, things like the marriage.Ever since the rejection, the old guy has refused to come out but when he heard our parents were forming a marriage alliance he showed up immediately. Stupid wolf, all he wants is his mate he does not care what I want. But what exactly do I want ?Violet's POV"It doesn't matter where you went to what matters is that you were not there when I needed you the most," I say to Kimberly. She has being rambling and trying to pacify me and I'm not angry but for some reason I just want to drag this. She always keep things to her self and I guess I just wanted her to spill. She said something about going to the club and rouges but I wasn't listening."Okay hear me out " Kimberly said, finally ready to give me an explanation I needed." You know the stuffs with my mum So I won't go into details there. Well she's planning on getting married again and..." "What !." I didn't let Kimberly finish before I showed how surprised I was. Kimberly's mom has suffered in the hands of men and here she is giving them a chance again, many would call her stupid but I admire her courage." Let me finish " Kimberly said annoyed that I cut her off. " So after we had an argument I headed straight to a bar, drank, and as I was about to go home I saw rouges ." "Holy Jesus!" I exclaimed as I checked if she was hurt in anywhere. My eyes roamed to her hands that were holding her stomach and I lifted her shirt to see bunch of bandages wrapped around her torso." It would have being worse than this if not... if not... For that dreamy young guy that came to save me " Kimberly said as she looked up at the ceiling. What guy? I asked clearly wondering if she expects me to stare into space dreamily and his face will appear as well." He has the mightiest wolf I've ever seen " Kimberly continued " he single handedly maneuvered the rouges. He was like my prince charming saving me from distress " Kimberly said as she turned to me with her hands placed on her chest then her face turned into a sad one." After he took me to the hospital he vanished without a trace. Not a name or a number or an address...I'm so pained " I couldn't hold the laughter that formed when I saw that cute pout in her face. If only I could pinch those cheeks, but Kimberly hates it so I'm just going to keep my hands to my self." So what is the important thing you said you needed me for " Kimberly asked once we were done with the whole rouge thing."Well... It seems like me and Jake are going to get married."" What! " I had to cover my ears to block off Kimberly's screaming. I knew this would be her reaction.Out of anger for him calling me ugly, I told him I won't meddle with the marriage arrangements and wait for us to get married. As a matter of fact we are meeting with both parents tomorrow evening to finalize the wedding plans." Gosh, why is everything so rushed " Kimberly asked while squeezing her face. " Are you really going to accept this marriage of a thing"."I honestly don't know but if Jake doesn't act fast it seems I'm really going to be Mrs Aloysius", I say while cupping my cheeks. It all feels sureal.Violet's povI'm so nervous right now. We've been waiting for Jake for the past thirty minutes now, you could see the impatient look on everyone's face. The nervousness was making my throat itch so I ordered some water. The only thing you could find on our table were the serviettes that was placed there before we arrived. We wanted the waiter to take our orders at once and Jake is the only one delaying.Forty three minutes into the waiting, Jake arrived." I'm sorry I came late, something came up at work" He said as he hurriedly took a seat.I looked at Jake for the second time since he arrived, and I could say he came here with the intention to give a bad impression. He was all sweaty, his hair all ruffled. The first three buttons were undone, creases could be seen all over his suit. He looked like he just came back from a fight." I thought I told you to clear all your schedules for tonight, and looked at the way you dressed for a formal dinner with you future..." "I'm sure he didn'
Kimberly POVThat really happened, woah, Jake really got some guts, I say to Violet on the phone. She narrated all that happened at the dinner and all I can say was that if this marriage is happening then these two are really fated for each other , cause knowing Violet's mum, her only child can't marry someone with a character like Jake. I feel so guilty but I can't tell Violet that I put her in this predicament. Sure they were still going to marry with or without the mate bond, but me telling their parents they were mates made them more intent on getting them married. If only I kept my mouth shut.I'll call you back I said to Violet after hearing the commotion downstairs." She's mine!, you get that!" I heard Max say to Josh, mum's fiancè. He really got some guts to show his face here after all he had done." Get out of my house max" my mum screamed as she shoved Max but he didn't budge, instead he kept reaching out for Josh.I stood there watching the drama unfold. I wasn't in suppor
"Do you plan on burning down the whole restaurant?" The manager asked as he pointed his finger to the burning dish."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.""I know you didn't, your mind has been all over the place" the manager said as he took over from what I was doing. "You can take a day off if you want, just clear your head before you do something worse."I was grateful for the offer, but I rather work than go back to that tensed filled house."It's alright sir, I'll be more careful next time", I say to the manager who gave me a look before leaving the kitchen for me to handle.I'm working at a famous local shrimp restaurant downtown. I'm trying to learn how to make the jambalaya. I've been eager to learn it after a vacation Kimberly and I took to Louisiana. The stuff got me hooked. As simple as it looks it's quite hard to make a perfect one. I tried learning online recipes but it wasn't giving me the taste I needed, so here I am, stir frying veggies until I'm giving a chance to enter the ma
Author's POV"Master Kendrick" one of the guys said as they turned around to see where the voice came from." Let her go" the cold voice sounded through the quiet alley."But..." The black haired guy proceeded to say."She's not the one we're looking for."" The priestess said she's the one, are you saying she was lying?" The brown haired guy asked suspiciously." She made a mistake." Kendrick said as he walked slowly towards them with his hands behind his back. " Leave her alone and go back before you expose more than you should."" And what makes you think we'll listen to you?" The brown haired guy questioned. He had always hated Kendrick, so if it means killing Violet just so that he won't have to follow Kendrick's orders, then he'll do with it even without Violet being the one they were looking for." Are you challenging me?" Kendrick asked as he tilted his head slightly with a smirk etched on his lips." What if I am?"" Try me. "The black haired guy just stood at the side watch
Violet's POVMy mom is giving me weird looks right now. It's almost as if she's seen a ghost."I should have expected it" I hear my mum say.Expected what? I asked. I'm sure this is related to Kendrick and the witches. My mum looked me up and down as she checked for something on my body."Thank God they didn't hurt you" Now I'm sure this is related to the witches. She sure has a lot of explanations to render to me cause this is all too baffling, and in one night at that.Let's go in and talk mum. By now my mum had regained her normal poise and it seemed like the reaction from her earlier was all fake. But I know it wasn't fake. This is as real as it gets."They've really found me" my mum said as she stared at my body. I followed her line of sight and I saw the black blood that stained my clothes. Who are this "they" mum?"You don't need to know"Mum!I couldn't help the scream that came out when my mum tried to brush this off as nothing.I already know mum,and I suggest you trust m
Violet's POV"I'll tell you what that prophesy is, but before that you have to promise to get married to jake"What kind of request was that?. What does Jake has to do with me knowing my mum's past? Even if I agree, there is no way Jake will agree with this marriage.I looked at my mum and I saw how resolute she was, nothing could change her mind."Mum" I called out, "You know what you're asking for is impossible right? Even if I agree to this marriage, you certainly know that Jake wouldn't, you saw what he did that day, he is hellbent on not marrying me." I tried to make my mum to see reasons why her request was absurd, absolutely absurd."Leave that to me. He'll come to you himself." "But why mum? why Jake?""The weight of what I'm about to tell you is too heavy for your little shoulders to carry. You need someone strong by your side, someone like Jake""But Jake is a mere werewolf mum, there is only so much he can do even if he's the strongest wolf to ever be known"."There is muc
Princess Lucia POV"I can't believe the queen would lock up her own daughter just because she wanted to be the most powerful" I heard one of the guards say."I wonder if things would be different if the priestess hadn't revealed that prophesy" The other one replied.They were different from the former guards who were guarding my cell. They seemed new. It's rare for someone to speak of me with sympathy instead of contempt."Hey" I called out to them."I thought you were sleeping" The first guard said."I just woke up. Could you please let me in on the prophecy?.""We will get killed if anyone knows about it, the queen doesn't even know we are aware of it." The second guard answered, I could see the fear in his eyes."I'm stuck in here remember?, No one will know of it so far I'm in here. I'll die soon if I continue living like this anyway, can't I at least know the reason for all my suffering?" I pleaded with the guards. I could see their eyes wavering a bit, contemplating if telling m
Violet POVWell, guess who is here, it's Jake!!!!!____I looked through the peep hole of the door and I saw Jake standing there, his hands inside his pockets. What the hell is he doing here!!!"What are you doing here?" I said quite saucily as I opened the door."Marry me Violet!"Was that a joke or something?, He just showed up and blatantly asked me to marry him. Is this the Jake I know."You've definitely gone nuts," I said as I turned to shut at the door at his face, but he slipped his hand mid way, stooping me form doing so."I'm serious, marry me!" He said it again. Then something clicked;"My mum came to meet you right?" I asked as I calmed down a little."How did you know?" Jake asked, confusion written all over his face."Come in" I gestured with my hand instead of answering his question."So...what now?" I asked Jake once we've made our selves comfortable on the couch."What do you mean what now, we'll get married as soon as possible" Jake replied curtly. Where was the Jake
