Jessy’s POV:

My alarm ringing at the other end of the room made me wonder why I still listened to these life coaches I watched on the media.

“Put your alarm across the room when you go to bed, so when it rings in the morning you have no choice but to get up instead of just hitting the snooze button.” One had said last night.

And it had made sense, it had made a lot of sense, but it still wasn’t enough to explain the anger I currently felt at actually trying it. I groaned before moving off my bed to turn the damn thing off. It had been one week of living in this pack and I was happy to say that I was settling in pretty fine. It was less overwhelming and I wasn’t as lonely as I feared I would have been.

While Lila was barely around, she tried as best as she could to keep me company and take me out when she was around, and then Stephan. Goddess, he was wonderful.

I moved towards the bathroom to brush my teeth and splash some water on my face. I had set my alarm to go off earlier tod

  • Alpha Arthur’s Hated Mate   Chapter 21

    ArthurThe vast field stretched before me, a sea of green under the clouding sky. I sighed, frowning lightly as the sound of Stephen’s bike coming to a halt echoed in the distance, interrupting the calmness that I was just starting to enjoy. I turned around, squinting in the direction of the noise, my frown deepening as I spotted him getting off the bike with Jessy by his side. They began walking towards me hand in hand. A trail of jealousy skittered down my spine, causing me to clench my fist involuntarily. She had a wide smile on her face and although they were still pretty far away from me, I could almost hear the giggle that escaped her lips when Stephen leaned in to whisper in her ears. The sight of them together never failed to make my blood boil. I hated it. No matter how much I tried to lie to myself that I didn’t care, it never worked. I hated seeing them together so much.The closer they got, the better I could see their faces and although Jessy still had a smile across h

    Jessy The rays of sunshine filtered into the room, illuminating it. I stirred, wincing slightly as I searched blindly for my phone. It was just a little past 7AM, the park run wasn’t until another two hours and Stephen was coming to pick me up.I stretched lazily as I made my way out of my bed, slipping my feet into a comfortable pair of slippers before heading out of the room, “Lila?” I called, stifling a yawn.My voice echoed throughout the house but no response came. I knocked lightly on her door twice, before pushing it open and I frowned. Her bed was made, she didn't sleep in it.I felt my heart sink into my stomach, an anxious ache budding in my temple as I scurried back to my room in search of my phone.I called Lila immediately I picked up the device, but it went straight to voicemail. Panic set in and I could feel my fingers trembling.‘Call me…please.’ I typed quickly, hitting send and watching the message for a while.I called multiple times, all with the same result.

    JessyThe café was almost empty, save for a few occupied tables. I bent over, humming a familiar tune as I wiped a table. The sound of the bell rang out faintly in my mind, announcing the entrance of someone. I straightened, turning as soon as the customer's chair scraped across the floor, I looked up from where I stood and locked eyes with Stephen.He was sitting, facing me with a wide grin etched on his face. His hair seemed slightly disheveled but for some weird reasons, I found that adorable. Stephen got to his feet, placing a pair of dark shades on the table. “You’re on time.” I greeted, walking into his open arms as I soaked in the warmth of his embrace.He stole a glance at the leather piece strapped to his wrist, “Actually, I’m seven minutes early.” His lips brushed against my hair as he spoke and I smiled. He had texted me earlier in the day to ask if we could hang out at my place right after work hours and I had said yes. Lila wouldn’t be home just yet and I could use a l

    Jessy The night air caressed my skin, sending a light shiver down my spine. The view was very beautiful, coming second only to the view of the sunset from the training ground. I felt Stephen’s hand snake around my waist, tugging me closer and I let myself melt into his embrace, taking a subtle sniff of his cologne. There was an air of calmness around him, one that felt different from anything I had ever experienced and I found it soothing. His entire aura was different; not intimidating or dark, just different. “Thank you.” I said, peeling my eyes off the night view to look at him. His smile was still intact, and his eyes glistened with a boyish charm, “For..?” He arched a brow questioningly as he spoke. I shrugged lightly, “Everything I guess, you’ve been so sweet and… you always show me the best view.” His fingers danced absently on my stomach as I spoke and he chuckled at my words, the vibration causing me to close my eyes briefly, my smile widening as I let myself enjoy this

  • Alpha Arthur’s Hated Mate   17. Savior Eyes

    Jessy’s POV: I flipped my eyes open and the ease I felt was one that I was starting to get used to. Coming here was a good idea and I was starting to feel it. I flipped open my eyes and the darkness in the room greeted me. Although I didn’t have a wolf my senses were still pretty sharp and I easily adjusted to the darkness in the room. I knew that it was still pretty early but I felt rested enough already and so I sat up in bed before reaching to turn on the lamp beside the bed. The dim lights flooded the room and I pulled my phone out of charging before going through my texts. There were a couple from my brothers and my father had also sent me a message, he was doing better than I expected and I was impressed that he was actually letting me be. I scrolled further down and found a text from Stephen. It was a simple message asking how I was doing and it made me smile. I had gone to bed earlier last night and that was why I missed the text in the first place but since I started wor

  • Alpha Arthur’s Hated Mate   16. Footprints

    Arthur A bright light shone in my direction, forcing me to put up my hand to shield my eyes. The loud cheering of the crowd grew even louder as I stepped forward, trying to adjust to the sudden burst of light. “Fight, fight, fight, fight!” Was all they yelled, thrumming in unison, like a heartbeat pulsing through the arena. I staggered, my vision adjusting as the figure of a man came to view. He was two times my size, with a physique sculpted from pure muscle and a hardened expression of rage. His long brown hair poured over his shoulders like a waterfall, its wet strands clinging to his skin. A loose cloth was tied protectively around his waist and as he moved, it danced wildly in sync with his movements. He wiped his feet against the sand, slamming his open palm against his chest intimidatingly, his eyes never leaving mine. The crowd seemed to love it as they cheered, screamed and rattled the very foundation of the cage. A pile of bodies lined the side entrance of the cage, a
