Javier's POVI wake up with a start. The loud howl of the trumpet blew hotly into my ear.Hissing, I slide down the bed, throw on a thick jacket and make my way out of the room."He's been found!" Jake falls in step with me. He throws his jacket on and tries to let his hair lies flat on his head.I guess we all have been woken up by the loud howl.I sigh. This is another day to witness another death.No! To kill another, yet one of us."Don't you think it's unfair?" Jake suddenly ask, earning himself a curious look from me."What's unfair?" I narrow my gaze."That we kill those who's been mated to a human. Don't you think it's unfair? "I crease my brow, pressing my fingers on my temples.Oh yeah! Right! It's unfair... Especially to me who's mated to a human and cannot even reject her.What a life filled with injustice that I live."Maybe," I scoff. "It might be unfair for some.""For some?" He scoffs. "Do you think they wanted to be mated to a human?"Oh! I'd think like that if only
Isobel POVI wake up to a light tap on my arm, and I flutter my eyes open.Groaning, I find my hand around the table next to the bed, taking my glasses and putting them on.The room comes into view, and the little ray of light in the lightbulb glows directly into my eyes."You're awake," says Aunt, her hand swiping my hair off my face. "How was your night?"Not good. My night hasn't been good ever since the day I encountered Javier.He always tried to kill me in my dreams."Good," I mutter. "And yours?"I slide down the bed, twisting my neck to ease through the numbness in it.I did not go home yesterday... Well, my new home. My Aunt wants me to stay with her in the hospital till the next morning, and well, I'd done it."I'll use the bathroom now. I have to prepare for school."Nodding, I make my way into the one small bathroom in her ward to have my bath.I wonder, with a heavy heart, how they're going to react to my absence yesterday... I never inform anyone about me coming here or
Javier's POVThat I should not reject her, or I'll be cursed.That I should accept her despite her being a human and also with the curse stuff going around the pack.I scoff. I don't know what the moon goddess is scheming, but whatever it does not sit well with me.I'm the future Alpha, even if my mate is not gonna be pure blood, then it should never be some human I so much detest.Leaning back, my gaze found Isobel's who was shivering intensely; courtesy of the lake down below the building.Who cares if she dies? As long as I didn't happen to kill her.Why have I never thought of this plan? To strip and die of coldness.I won't be blamed for her death, would I?A smirk grazes my lips, folding my arms around my midriff.I'd rather get mated to someone, not my mate than let the whole pack knows who my real mate is."This is wickedness," Zeke mumbles weakly. "We indeed hate our mate, but...""You're not feeling sorry for her, are you?""Well, I don't know," says Zeke.I can fe
Javier's POV Throwing him against the large tree, I throw him a hard pinch across the face, earning a loud moan of pain from Jake.How dare he? I thought he said he was just helping a human in need, but I saw him... I fucking saw him trying to kiss my mate.The thought of him kissing my mate makes my body shakes in furry. Anger such as I've never felt before courses through me.The fact that I did not accept my mate doesn't mean she can fuck around with everybody.She belongs to me as long as the mate bond is still there.Grabbing Jake's head, not caring about the blood dripping from his broken nose, I shove him against another tree and throw another punch to his face.I'm so mad now I don't care if he dies! He fucking messed around with my mate.Running a frustrated hand through my hair, my other fist shakes beside me."How dare you?"I want to kill him; I don't care if he's my friend or one important werewolf in the Pack."How dare you mess around with her?"Jake c
Javier's POV My fist clenches beside me, teeth grit together as I watch my mate sleeping peacefully on the bed.Though my eyes were fixed on her, there was this disturbing truth that was going on at the back of my mind.Jake... Jake finally knows what I'm hiding, and he can decide to end this by telling Alpha what's going on.What is he going to do? Kill me if I refuse to reject her? Or let me be cursed by the moon goddess.I palm my face, inhaling sharply. I've never been frustrated and confused like this ever in my life."Let's shut him up," Zeke chirps in.I chuckle. Shut him up? How?"She's fine,"Lifting my gaze away from Isobel, I settle it on the Pack's doctor beside her."It's just a shock," she continues. "Though it might be important to keep her away from anything that can shock her, it's lethal to her health."I nod absentmindedly, waving an impatient hand to usher the doctor out."But..." Hesitantly, her eyes last for a fraction of a second on Isobel befo
Javier's POVAfter putting on my school uniform, stowing my bag behind me, I saunter out of my room down to the dinning room."Do you know what happens last night?""I heard it too."Damn! Those stupid maid and their stupid chatters. Can't they do without gossiping early in the morning?I was about to walk up to them and give them a early morning scolding when I heard it."I heard it's the new maid," I stop on my track, my ears strain to catch whatever it's they are saying."She tried to escape early this morning, now she's been caught by the Luna. Stupid her"What? The new maid? It's not who I'm thinking, is it?"Probably," Zeke says with a panic. "If the Luna has our mate, then it's not looking good"No! It's not looking good exactly.Maybe I know why she's trying to run away, but if she tells Luna, her life is gone.I run a frustrated hand through my hair, breathing through my nose as I climb the steps two at a time.Damn! I'm so gonna kill Isobel if she say anything.I don't even
Javier POVMy hands fold on my laps, lips perm together as I look anywhere but not at the six curious eyes on me.Ah! I bite my lower lip, resisting the urge to just walk out of here.Hey! I mean, it's not like I want him to go in my stead, but what can I do when all he does is threaten me?It's still better to lose the title for just a day than to lose it forever or to just be killed."Scary cat Alpha." Zeke mocks."Shut up!""So..."Alpha Caine begins, his voice so low and innocent you'd thought he was not mad, but no, I'd learned to fear his humid low voice than his high-pitched one.I look up and my gaze met with his. Hey! If a look could kill a person, then I'd be 10ft under the ground now.I run my tongue over my lips, using the table to conceal my shaky fingers.Well yes, I'm still scared of the Alpha. He reminds me of my horrendous childhood."I know that he's your friend...""I'll never let a friend have my title."The word slip out of my mouth before I could control it.Oh, J
Isobel's POVJavier pushes me in, so hard that I almost land on my butt."Go in," he says in his low but authoritative voice.My shaky hands hold on tight to my skirt, and my lips perm together to swallow my cry.I'd have wanted nothing less than to stay away from this school, but here I am, with Javier behind me, sending me a cold glare that could take my life away anytime soon."To your seat!" He pushes me again, my legs trudging forward and I let out a soft squeak.In all sincerity, I'd wanted to live my life as if I do not exist, then where has it all gone wrong?I feel my eyes itch and tears well up in them.With my hasty decision to live with my... Cru... Jake, I'd get my aunt into trouble."Oh you're here, Javier"I gasp upon hearing a familiar voice behind me. A familiar scent wafts through my nose, but instead of comforting me, it makes my heart for haywire.I step back, my tears falling freely down my face.No! He's here. He's close to me. He's going to kill me.He doesn't l
