Jovita's POV “Are you okay?” Jayden asks, placing a kiss on my forehead. “Did it hurt? Are you okay?”“I'm fine”, I assure him truthfully. It had been painful at first, but now I feel fine.“You know I love you right?”“I do”.He kisses me again, then lies on his back. A worried expression spreads on his face.“Is something wrong?” I ask, worried.Was I that bad? Did he not enjoy our lovemaking? I'm nervous right now.He probs himself on one of his arms. “Don't say that my love, it was good. It was better than great, it was the best”, he answers my thoughts.I roll my eyes. He's only saying this thing because it's me. I'm sure he has been with more experienced girls that know what to do, and when to do.He turns and takes my hands in his. “Look at me”, he says. I obey.“Those other girls were good, true, but I never loved them. I love you, and that's all that matters”.“You sure?”“I'm fucken sure”. He places a kiss on my forehead.“Why do you have a worried expression on, then?”
Jovita's POV“She's my younger sister, and she will be staying with us for a while”, my mom says, with a nervous smile. I can see her hands are twisted behind her. She only does that when she's anxious.“Mom?” I call, eyeing her suspiciously. She was hiding something from me, I could tell. My mom is a terrible liar.“I'll start dinner. Can you help me with the flour?” She headed for the kitchen cupboard, not waiting for my reply. Okay, now it's getting self-evident she's hiding something.“Mom I…”“Go help your mother, child”, my Mimoh's voice snapped.I turn to stare at her, and she returns the gesture with a death glare. I'm forced to look away immediately. Mimoh can be a bit intimidating. More than a bit.We finished cooking and sat down for dinner. After dinner, I walked to my room and immediately checked my phone to see if Jayden had texted me, but he hadn't.I start pacing around my room worriedly. I hope he's fine. He was acting weird earlier.I fall asleep, waiting for Jayden’
“Pass the plate of beef please”, Phil says to Conan.“Have mercy on the beef, Phil”, Eric says, erupting laughter from the others.Phil shoots him a death stare, adjusting his dark brown, long hair.We're having dinner at Conan's mansion to celebrate Eric and I’s departure. We leave tomorrow.“Eat up, Jayden”, Phil whispered. He is sitting on my right, while Eric is on my left. Conan is beside Phil, and Seth is beside Eric. We're seated around a small table filled with different varieties of dishes.“Thanks, Phil”, I reply. I can barely digest food right now. My heart was breaking, and the image of Jovita's unconscious body in the woods burned my memory. She had fainted after reading my message. What if I hadn't been following her? She would have been there all by herself. What if something bad had happened to her? I would never have been able to forgive myself. I only told her about my departure. I didn't even tell her about killing her ex-best friend. She'd be furious when she find
Jovita's POV “Are you going to meet Jayden wearing that?” Maddie asks, her voice filled with disapproval. “What?” I ask, rolling my eyes. “My outfit is okay. Is not like I'm trying to impress him”. I'm still wearing the clothes I wore to Maddie's house this morning. I see nothing wrong with them, though. “It's a full moon, Jovita. A time when couples share intimacy and wolf out together. It's a time to build bonds. Yes, I know you're very angry at Jayden right now, and you have every reason to be, but I won't let you leave this house like this. You have to impress him, whether you like it or not”, Maddie says authoritatively”. “No”. I stubbornly cross my arms over my chest. There's nothing she's going to do that would change my mind, or so I thought. Lol. Minutes later, I'm dressed in a green, long-sleeved, collar blouse, neatly tucked into a white, short, flay skirt with colourful flowers imprinted on it. Maddie curled my hair and put a silver necklace on my neck and wrist. On m
Jovita's POV Jayden stops in front of a breathtaking penthouse. It's painted a lovely shade of cream and deep chocolate brown. The interior is covered with the same colour, from the curtains to the furniture, and windows. The surrounding of the house is filled with well-mowed grasses and lush trees. The whole place looks magical.Jayden leads me inside and sits on the modern cream three-sitter couch with brown pillows arranged on it.He taps on the space beside him, but I ignore him, and sit at the end of the couch.He looks uncertain, and I can see his hands twisting nervously.“Okay, where do I start? I'm sorry for not telling you about my departure until it became this close. I couldn't bring myself to tell you because I was too scared to hurt you. Now I realise that I only hurt you more by keeping it a secret until now”, Jayden says looking down. Seeing him so vulnerable, I feel my heart melt, but I ignore it. He killed my best friend and hid it from me. Screw love right now, Ja
Jovita's POV“Stay away from me”, the three voices warn again.I'm super scared right now, but I'm certainly not leaving Jayden. If he's speaking in three voices that means he has two wolves. Is that even possible? I take another step closer. I'd be lying if I say am not scared, but running away is not an option for me.“I won't, I can't stay away, Jayden”, I reply, advancing until I'm only a few feet from him.The aura around him is too powerful and I hear my wolf growl painfully in my head. Even if I have not wolfed out yet, the aura is too strong for me. A person who has gotten their wolf would probably be lying unconscious on the floor right now.“I can't control myself anymore, Jovita. You don't want to see me this way”, he said between clenched teeth. I notice his body is shaking violently and his hands are clasped firmly together. His eyes are shining as bright as gold bars placed under the sun.“You won't hurt me and I know that”. I know that whatever happens, Jayden will nev
Jovita's POV I wake up to the sun's blinding rays streaming from the window. I blink a little, trying to remember where I am. The event of last night flows back to me, and I feel my cheeks go red. I lie down for a bit admiring the the beauty of the room. Whoever designed this house must have been extra skilled.I stand up and stretch, my eyes scanning the room for Jayden, but he's nowhere in sight.I hurriedly get dressed and proceed to search the house. After five minutes, I'm back in the room with a painful feeling in my chest. Jayden is gone!I turn to see a note lying on the bedside table. I pick it up and start to read as tears flow down my eyes. The note is short and simple.“Knowing you has been my greatest pleasure. It griefs me to leave your side, and I know everything would remind me of you. But I'm lucky though, because grief is an expression of love. And those who grieve are those who are lucky to have loved”.I had been so caught up in my anger about Uriel's death to gra
Jovita's POV JuneJulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecemberJanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMaySilenceIt's been almost a year since Jayden left. We haven't spoken since then. I blocked him out in every way possible, trying my best to forget him but it hasn't been very feasible.My friends keep telling me to stop being hard on myself and snap out of my mopping. “Who knows, you can find someone else”, they say, but it doesn't make anything better. Honestly, finding someone is currently the last thing on my list.I feel like my heart has been wrenched out, and in its place is a hole that eats deeper into my chest every day. I can't breathe. I suddenly get lost, and I rarely talk. Everyone is worried about me, especially my Mimoh. PS: Jayden is currently on her wanted list. She's ready to snap off his neck if she ever sees him again.“It's been a year”, Anna had shrieked earlier when I had refused to eat lunch because the waiter served something that reminded me of Jayden. I don
