I know some of you might think the story is taking too long, but the timeline of the story from Jake's birthday to this point is not even a month yet. Jake has issues with a Luna and it's not easy to turn it around in just a flick of the finger. Please trust the story ♡ and THANK YOU for getting this far. P.S: I am slowly editing all the chapters now and I want to thank those who leave comments for corrections. They are appreciated! ♡
CLAIR "I, Absaline..." I saw panic register on his face as his breathing hitched. "Don’t... Clair!" He growled louder. His hands were gripping my arms tightly, but I remained still, not moving an inch and not tearing my wicked eyes off him. My eyes squinted as I continued with my words. "...Clair Montrell... wants to suck you, Alpha Jacob Galhart of the Black Shadow Pack... up to your heart’s content... until you come into my mouth." I finished my sentence and licked my lips, flashing him a naughty smile, before I started giggling at the expression on his face. I knew I was being mean, but it was nothing compared to the pain he was giving me. Jake breathed a sigh of relief. His grip on my arms loosened as he dropped his body onto the mattress, arms spread wide open as he closed his eyes. His chest was still heaving, and he must be doing his best to calm himself and his wolf. I took the opportunity to scramble out of straddling him and drop to my knees in front of him at the foo
CLAIRWe stayed in the same position for what seemed like an eternity, wrapped in each other’s arms, just reveling in the moment we shared together. I wished everything was just as perfect as this — no complications at all. But I knew better.I should still be mad at him, but instead, I just let him take me again. Maybe the problem was me and not him all along. I let him drug me with his warmth, and now I can’t seem to withdraw from it.I wriggled out of his hold, snapping Jake from his own reverie. He immediately let me down on my feet, and I stumbled to fix my dress. Shit! I didn’t have any underwear! Why did he need to tear it off?"Why in a hurry?" He snickered while tucking a strand of loose hair behind my ear and rubbing his thumb over my cheek.I dropped my gaze to the floor. I was afraid to meet his eyes as I straightened my skirt, my cheeks heating up from his touch. Damn sparks."I need to get back there. They might be looking for me." I told him in a calm tone."I don’t th
JAKE After leaving the party in a bad mood, I locked myself inside my office. I had no idea what to do at this point. I grabbed the whisky bottle from the liquor cabinet in the corner and poured it into my glass. The burn in my throat as I drowned in it helped to ease my mind, but only for a split second. Once the burn passed, her face came back into my head again. Goddess, what have I done wrong? I spent the next twenty minutes in complete silence until I couldn't take it anymore. 'Clair...' I sent her a mindlink. 'Jake... Oh, Goddess!' Her voice came out raspy, and fuck, it was so seductive. What the fuck? Was she moaning? A smile crept on my face as I opened my window and jumped out, heading to where my help might be needed. It seemed like it was hard to satisfy this girl. I needed to work double time. In an instant, I found myself flinging my body upwards towards the small roof outside her bedroom window. And just to my luck, her curtains were open, and the dimmed light f
JAKE The sun's gentle ray touched my face, urging me to flip my eyes open. The sun had just started to come up, and the cold breeze of air danced around my skin, together with the familiar warm feeling of sparks. A low, sleepy groan sounded just below me, and it took me some seconds before I was able to see where I was and who was clinging to my arms. Clair. I placed a kiss on her forehead and blew the loose hair strands on her face gently. We were in the middle of the forest, naked, with her sitting in my lap, her head resting on my chest, while I cuddled her like a baby. This was pure bliss. After she had hunted a small rabbit, I let Rain eat the rabbit, but she was nice enough to share it with Echo, refusing to eat it until he ate it with her. And then we ran and played some more, before taking a rest under this tree. Clair then fell asleep in her wolf form, but immediately shifted to her human form once her head lolled into slumber. I shifted after that and took her into my
CLAIR It's been two days since we last saw him— since we went running and hunting in the woods. I heard from the Beta that he had gone out for some investment meetings, taking a few warriors with him. Aside from running the pack, Jake owned, or should I say, the pack owned, multiple businesses that he personally ran, including those in the human territory. And knowing he was out there with humans, a part of me was somehow jealous of the possibility of him getting attracted to some human enough to take her as his Luna. I guessed she'd be less complicated than me. I sighed again, dismayed by my own thoughts. I washed all the dishes in the sink after I had eaten my breakfast and headed off to the living room to pass the time since I had no plans to attend the training today. It had been more than a week since I had been at the training ground. I would probably go tomorrow, or the next day, or whenever. It was just that lately, I'd been losing motivation to train. Dad went to work as
CLAIR "Do you like him?" He asked. His voice came out cold, his face still resting on my neck. His breath ran on my skin, giving me goosebumps. I rolled my eyes at his question because I knew the answer. Instead, I threw back a question at him. "Was the flower for me?" He just nodded and inhaled deeply before I felt his body start to shake. He was trying to control it. I pulled away from his hold, eyes widening. "Jake? What’s going on?" He stood up from his position abruptly, making me stumble and almost drop my ass on the floor. "What the hell?" I shouted at him, throwing him a glare as I gathered myself to stand up. He continued to shake, and sweat started to trickle down from his forehead, his arms, and his torso. "I’m asking you, why can’t you answer?" His voice was raised. "Did you let him fuck you? Is that why you went to the city alone last week, to meet up with him?" he asked accusingly as he stepped forward, creating no space between us. His hands on his sides coiled
JAKE My head dropped to my side, jerking my body awake from sleep. I must have fallen asleep leaning on my office chair again. The clock overhead read 3:05 AM. I’ve been here in my office since yesterday afternoon, rummaging through the journals of the past Alphas and Lunas of my pack. Elder Garret had sent in more than twenty journals, including the ones owned by the previous Betas and Gammas. More things to look at. After what had happened with Clair and what I found out about her and Aeon, I decided to work my ass off to find what I needed instead of drowning myself in alcohol to pacify my frustration and my jealousy. I was already tired from all the journal reading I’d done in the past few days. All of them were useless - they all said the same thing. Whether they were chosen Lunas or fated ones, they only stayed alive or stayed as Lunas for one to two years. There was nothing new. There was nothing that could give me a glimmer of hope. I knew I couldn’t just stop or waste any
CLAIR I didn’t have a scheduled day at the daycare today and just wanted to wind off somewhere away from the territory. So I planned to go to the city. I wanted to shop for new pillowcases, curtains, and other things to brighten up our living room. It had been too long since it looked like some female lived here. After convincing my father that I wasn’t trying to run away, he finally agreed and gave me some cash as well, which I really didn’t need. I still have much left from the allowances he gave me while I was in Atlanta. My uncle and his wife never let me spend anything there except my personal stuff. So everything went to my savings. But before Dad allowed me to go to the city, he asked me to prepare breakfast. He didn’t have work and had invited the Alpha to join us. I was itching to ask why, but I kept my mouth shut. After what had happened yesterday, I really wanted to see him and explain about Aeon — not that I needed to. I didn’t want people to judge me, especially him.
