JARED'S POV

I slumped lazily in bed and rolled around.

The bed was softer than I ever could have imagined, highlighting the vast power of money.

I groaned and turned. My body ached.

After staying with Sterly's family for the whole day, my entire body ached from all the excitement, and I felt fatigued.

I yawned and forced myself up.

Removing my clothes, I intended to take a bath before going to bed.

I would have loved to sleep without one, though...

But Sterly wouldn't like that.

I pressed my lips into a tight line and picked up a robe to wrap around my body. Only the low sounds of my foot hitting the black tiles resounded in the room.

Opening the door, I entered and walked toward the mirror. My gaze fell on my reflection, and surprise flashed through my eyes.

The man in the mirror had exceedingly fair skin. The black hair looked softer than ever, and even the eyes seemed bigger and brighter... This wasn't me.

I was never like this!

I used to look manly...

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 8: PAINTER DRAKE

    JARED'S POV I patted my belly with satisfaction written across my face. Mother Juliana had spent a whole hour feeding me, placing different dishes on my plate until I had no means to swallow the food anymore. Father Leo wasn't any different either. He practically gave me all the meat from his plate. His smile grew bigger as I ate everything he gave, and to not disappoint him, I made sure to eat almost everything he sent to my plate. I drew in a deep breath, trying to hide my excitement. Across the table, Sterly's face was all red from Drake's endless pestering. "I want to give Jared that sunset paint. Which do you want?" Drake chirped. Sterly chewed silently, ignoring Drake. But Drake wasn't depressed. He laughed and held Sterly's arm. "My darling little brother, won't you make big brother happy? Just a word. Say anything you want, and I'd paint it for you." He pleaded. I watched with great interest.

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 7: MOTHER'S WARMTH

    JARED'S POV"Don't mind your mother. She just wouldn't stop being wicked.""Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told Mum about your new apartment.""Idiot. Can you ever keep your mouth shut? I'm going to pinch your ear until you bleed!"Their voices trailed behind me as I followed his mother inside. I couldn't turn around to see them as the mother occupied my attention, but their words played in my ears constantly, and my lips couldn't help but twitch.I saw the ear earlier, though red, it had no mark, and it looked like something that would return to normal after a few minutes. Anyone could tell the mother hadn't used any strength, and the redness was seemingly from Sterly's sensitive skin.I could tell___ so surely his family could too.I didn't even know how she got the house key, but she opened the door anyway.She pulled me to the sitting room, and I gasped when I saw the num

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 6: MEETING THE FAMILY

    JARED'S POV I stared at the bright faces before me. The sparkle in their eyes caught me unaware and made me wonder what was going on. We stepped out of the car, hoping to enter the new house Sterly said he bought for our fake marriage, but instead, we met four strangers standing at the entrance with radiant smiles on their faces. An older scentless woman, an older Alpha man, and two younger Alphas... a man and a woman. The middle-aged couple looked really good. The man looked handsome, and so was the woman, but the younger ones weren't left behind either. Especially the female, she looked more like a doll, and if I were still a beta, I would have thought she was a strong omega. I stared dumbfoundedly, waiting for them to say anything. But my eyes lingered on the younger female more because I couldn't stop thinking she looked familiar. I stared more intently, and my eyes slowly widened. I turned around swiftly, my eyes fell on Sterly's exquisitely handsome face, and then I glance

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 5: STERLY

    STERLY'S POVThe ink on the marriage certificate hadn't dried, yet the weight on my chest felt decades old. This had never been my plan. I had always wanted to wait. When my parents discussed my marriage with me, explaining to me how frustrating the marriage alliances they received from various families, intending to match their children with me was, and made me promise them to bring home a partner, I had thought things would go awry. I intensified my search, hoping to find Nate as soon as possible, but things never worked the way I wanted. Even with my power and status, Nate was still nowhere to be found. It had been six years since he left... and he never returned. Nate was a thorn in my heart, pricking and persistent. I could never let go of him. Six years of yearning had turned hope into a ritual until fate played a cruel joke and sent me a man that looked like him... Jared. He had stood by the roadside, eyes fixed on the road, and sweat damped his body in an uncomfortable

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 4: THE PROPOSAL

    JARED'S POVI watched as the door closed behind Stephen, and I sighed deeply. Even though it had been five days since I learned about my new secondary gender, it was still too difficult to accept. Suddenly changing from Beta to omega, it was like the universe was playing a game with me... and sincerely, it was baffling. Just a few days ago, I was still lamenting about how Kane left me for an omega...Funny how things changed so fast. I rubbed my forehead and weakly fell back in bed. The room was filled with my pheromone, which was extremely relaxing even to me. The orchid scent seemed to have the ability to calm the mind... even the doctor said it was extremely rare and was a sensitive pheromone that could easily attract Alphas___, thank goodness Stephen was a beta. The door creaked open, and someone walked in. I lazily opened my eyes, knowing it was the omega doctor coming for his usual check-up. "Good morning." I greeted and turned around to look at him. However, I froze when
