Jade knows what it feels like to have no one in her corner; she experienced it firsthand when her aunt sweet-talked her parents and took her to the Philippines' when she was eight. After years of abuse and being used, the only thing Jade wished for was an escape to finally go home and be with her family. All Jade wished for was to experience what it feels like to be loved once again and she got that when she finally escaped from her aunt and made her way back home to her pack and family in Detroit. Finding out that the Alpha Heir Hunter was her mate was the best thing to ever happen to Jade, and Hunter gave Jade a home, love, and became the safety and comfort Jade had always wished for. Two years of blissful union came to an abrupt end when Jade woke up in bed with her sister's boyfriend after a party. Her life goes from sweet to bitter in a matter of days as everyone Jade once loved turned their backs on her, refusing to believe them when she said she didn't cheat on her mate. How could she? Hunter was the love of her life. Jade goes from preparing to becoming the Luna of the Blackwood Pack, to being treated no less than a traitor. Hunter doesn't wait another heartbeat before rejecting her, and Jade is soon branded as a defective mate, banished to the woods as a rogue. How will Jade survive life as a pregnant rogue? The cursed brand on her neck makes it impossible for any pack to take her in. Will her mate come after her? Or will Jade find her strength somewhere else and come back to enact her revenge on the people who hurt her?
Lihat lebih banyak~REIGN~Father eyed me up and down, a mockery in his eyes as he spoke. “What makes you think you’ll survive out here without the protection of my name?” He growled. “I am the reason you are still alive, boy; without me, you are nothing; without the protection my name provides you, without this pack, you are nothing. You’ll only ever be known as the Alpha with tainted blood.”I cocked my head to the side at his words, my left brow slanted and my lip curled. “You really believe that?” I asked, feeling the need to humor him. To see if he believes the nonsense that’s coming out of his mouth. I might be the Alpha whose blood is tainted but we both know I am not nothing.He glared at me, refusing to answer. I turn fully to face him now. Now I need to remind him of the truth he seemed to have forgotten because I’ve been pliant and quiet for too long. I did his bidding, bowing my head in submission, making him feel like he really had any right to my respect. “Who do you really think all these
~REIGN~I awoke to a loud pounding on the door that had me jostling worriedly for a second before opening my eyes to my dimly lit bedroom.I took a moment to blink the fog out of my brain as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I made to push up on the bed when I became aware of the body plastered against mine, and my brain replayed the incident from before and how I ended up in bed with my mate.She had wanted me to stay, to hold her as she slept, and I had held her like the most precious gem, content with watching her sleep and then I had fallen asleep.Wait . . .When did I fall asleep?Hold on a minute—my mind became alert as I looked down at the sleeping beauty in my arms. Did I sleep?My eyes traveled to the clock on the wall with a puzzled gaze. I fell asleep.Holy shit!I slept for nine fucking hours. No nightmares? No breaking out in cold sweat or waking up in terror without the slightest possible idea why? No shadows were trying to creep into my head and keep me awake while I st
~REIGN~I had taken off my shirt and managed to cover her up while she sobbed against my chest. The torn cloth on her was barely covering her chest and I needed to cover her up.Emerald’s silent sobs didn’t stop even as I picked her up and cradled her against my chest as I stood up. Caleb’s painful cries reached my ears as I straightened up and prepared to exit the room. As much as I’d love to finish what I started and just kill him, my mate was my priority and I knew I had to get her out of here.With one final glance at Caleb, a promise in my gaze to him that I wasn’t yet done with him, I turned and made my way out of the room, only to stop as I came face to face with Father in the doorway.“What the fuck did you do to your brother?” He asked with a snarl on his lips as he blocked the way.I looked him up and down, cradling Emerald closer to my chest. My gaze flickered to the few pack members who must’ve heard Caleb’s screams and gathered in the hallway. My attention returned to Fat
~JADE~Fear doused my entire body when he tore through the shirt I wore and I froze. I didn’t know what was happening to me or what was wrong with my brain. I tried to wiggle out of his strong grip but my body wouldn’t budge. I tried to scream my mouth open but no sound came out of me.It felt like I had stopped breathing and every nerve in my body refused to cooperate with me. I felt his hands on me and his breath on my skin but I couldn’t do anything to stop him. I couldn’t voice my thoughts or my anger; I couldn’t tell him that I wanted him off me. I couldn’t scream for help the way I wanted to.It felt like I was locked out of my body, trapped somewhere in the depths of my mind, while my skin crawled with disgust. I heard him growl in my ear. The sound sent a shock wave through my body that suddenly transported me back to that morning when my life went downhill.Suddenly I was back there in that room with Hunter, trapped underneath him. My body refused to move as he commanded me i
~REIGN~ I contemplated going to my father to tell him I had just killed his pet project because that is what the Omega was to him. She was a project for my big ritual, given that there was no guarantee whatsoever that the ritual would work. Father’s fixation with the ritual is exhausting. I am not sure what is so awful about what was warded off inside me that he needs to get rid of it. Alright, perhaps I do understand the need for the ritual, and whatever was warded off inside me isn’t exactly something good. A few times I’ve felt the oddity of it stirring inside me. Something I don’t understand and despite being warded away, still has a handle on my anger. Whatever it is is the reason I am not a purebred werewolf, and I have an idea that Father’s a lot more than he is letting on about it. I would be a fool to believe his only reason for being set on performing the ritual is because he really wants me to be his rightful heir. He fears what is inside me; he fears what I’d become if t
~JADE~I stared at the bank card on the nightstand the same way I’ve been staring at it since that female beta brought it. Lev and I agreed to the ritual and both decided that leaving wasn’t an option we wanted.Although I still have my reservations about what I overheard regarding my son, Lev believes and trusts our mate, and I have to push back my issues if I want there to be any progress between us and our mate. I was caught up in my emotions and the sadness gnawing at my heart when I decided to leave.Everything that has happened leading up to that very day has been nothing if not painful. I still do not know if I like the idea of having another mate and trusting another man after everything that transpired between me and Hunter. But Lev thinks we shouldn’t just throw out the idea. She sees good in Reign; she thinks he is right for us and he wants us to be happy.I don’t know what I see, because, to be honest, it is difficult to see anything beyond the pain in my heart. Lev said t
~REIGN~What does it say of my character as an Alpha if I am too chicken-shit to face my mate?I am not proud of myself. It’s been four days since the linking rite and I have not stepped foot in my suite. And I am not ashamed to say that I am scared to face my mate and I had every right to be scared of confronting her.If anyone else had seen the look in her eyes that evening, they would understand why I was actively trying to avoid her. I should’ve known better than to think my father wouldn’t pull some shady business. I knew not to completely trust him, which was why I was present for the ritual, even though I had been to avoid my mate from the days leading up to the ritual. I didn’t want to face her after the encounter in my apartment-suite but I wanted to make sure my father wouldn’t try any funny business.My presence didn’t stop him from being a sneaky bastard, but I guess it could’ve been a lot worse than him asking me to complete the ritual. Which was unnecessary and I knew wh
~LEVANA~Surprisingly, Jade didn’t raise the topic of talking with Reign after our conversation in the bathroom. Although I had expected her to push to the surface and take over, she didn’t do that either, so I carried on with the rest of my day in silence, refusing to talk to her.I had refused breakfast when the beta brought it and told her Reign could come nag me himself if he wasn’t pleased with my decision not to eat. I know he wouldn’t, since he already has someone else keeping him busy. So, what did it matter to anyone if I ate or not?I spent the rest of the day staring at the clock; for some reason, my mind was blank on any thought. What was there to think about when everything was already set in stone? We were leaving as soon as the ritual ended, and Reign would carry on his life with his omega. I didn’t want to think about what would happen out there. It was better to just pretend that this was all a nightmare, that we didn’t lose our pup, and that something exciting was wa
~LEVANA~‘What do you mean I won? You took over so we could stay, didn’t you, and it’s not like I’m fighting you on that anymore.’‘Like I said, it doesn’t matter. Reign is letting us go.’‘What? Why?’ Jade asked with a surprise gasp.I frowned. ‘I’m surprised that you are shocked by the information; isn’t that what you wanted? You didn’t want to stay and he granted your wish.’‘But you took over to stop us from leaving, and I just told you, I’ve thought things through. How did Reign know anyway?'‘He noticed I wasn’t you and suspected something was wrong. He asked and I told him the truth. At first, he was angry, but in the end, he said we were better off leaving.’‘Why would he say that? You wanted to stay; you should’ve told him that.’‘And what makes you think I didn’t?’‘Then why is he letting us go?’ She almost barked.‘Because you didn’t want to stay, and he knew I was only able to stop you because I blocked you out. He knew how much energy I was exerting to keep you away and t
