Blake POV
"I'm calling Jason to pick you up." I read Nero's text, feeling numb and aggravated.
At this point, I am just going to accept that I am never going to understand him and leave it at that because it's less hurtful.
"Is that Jason?" Loki's voice echoed into my ear, and I raised my gaze off my phone screen, looking at his annoying face.
"What is it that you want to talk to me about?" I mumbled, putting my phone away in my jeans pocket.
"Your mother…"
"What about her?"
Even though I wanted to feel mutual about his words, I hel
*******Jason Pov*******For a long while, I felt speechless, staring at Blake, wondering if I should take those words seriously or chuckle at them.Drawing away from her lips, I met her eyes and mumbled, "Please tell me that you are kidding."Her gaze deepened into a look of sadness as she lowered her stare and whispered, "I'm not, Jason.""Nah, hell no!" I mumbled, striving not to take her words seriously because it was messing with my head.The thought of Killain and her together set me off more than I expected and I had to stare away from her, to calm myself."Can you not get mad or lash up and
********Nero POV*******The sound of the front door opening echoed in my ear, and I raised my head, staring at the dining room entrance.It took a couple of seconds before my gaze rested on Blake, walking by, and I asked, "Where are you going?""Can we not talk about it!" Blake mumbled, her back turned to me.Then she walked away, and I left my seat following her upstairs, still feeling indecisive about what to do.When I got to her room door, I knocked since she locked it, and I called out, "Blake, open the door.""Please, Nero, can you not do this, not now!" Blake shouted, and I could hear
******Blake POV******Feeling his hand resting against my bare skin, I tried not to move or make a sound even though I have been awake for a couple of minutes now and judging by the brightness in the room, it was late in the morning.Nero had finally let me rest, and he was sound asleep which was not fair because I was drained and restless.What the heck am I doing? Everyone knows Nero to be Luna's mate, and yet, I have pressured him into claiming me.Although I hate Luna, she still thinks of him as her mate. What if we both were mated to the same alpha, and I just stole him from her.Sure, Nero doesn't know who his mate is because of a curse. But Lun
*******Nero POV******* Not a single word Blake said to me as she sat at the counter, staring intensely at me with an absent look in her eyes. The toaster went off with a little click, and I tried to get the two slices of bread out of it when I felt hands hug onto my waist. "What're you making?" Blake whispered, her head resting on my back. "Toast with cheese," I mumbled, laying the bread on the plate. Her grip on me got tighter, and I knew something was off about the way she was acting this morning, but she refused to open up about it. Yet, I gave my curiosity a little pus
*******Blake POV****** Sitting in my last class felt like torture because I knew my time was up to make a decision. Although I have already made up my mind, the thought of giving Nero up for good was messing with my head. How do you walk away from someone that has your heart? It was the most painful shit I have ever experienced because the wound was internal, and not even my healing power could fix it. "Class dismiss!" Mrs. Xana said, closing her book, and I rested my head on the desk. If only I could make this moment freeze, so I wouldn't have to do this. "Blake," I suddenly heard a deep voice call out my name, and my body stiffened as I shut my
*******Nero POV****** The audacity of Blake is getting on my nerve. If I didn't have people in the Hayes' mansion, I would still be in the dark about the death of Loki's driver, her going back home with bloody jeans, and getting slapped by Loretta. "Are you okay?" Luna's voice forced me to stare away from my screen and focused on her, intensely staring at me. "Huh?" I mumbled, still disturbed that Blake had not replied to my text yet. "You haven't touched your food since your phone buzzed a while back, and that's all you have been paying attention to, even though I am sitting right in front of you." "You know what… you are right. I am distracted,
*******Jason Pov*******Nobody told me the act of selflessness was going to feel like a blow to the chest and steal your sleep away from you.The sunlight just feels annoying now because I am stuck to my bed, not wanting to get up. But Vladimir Fang visited Nero. That can not be a good thing judging from their expression last night. Now I feel the need to check on him.Gosh! How do you care for someone, and yet, want to punch them so bad?I gave myself a couple of seconds to get out of my feelings and then forced myself out of bed.Once I got done showering and had worn something comfortable, I headed out of my suite, wondering if Blake was okay
********Blake POV*******It sucks to be right, but I was. It's been only two days since I left Nero's house, and he has gone completely silent on me.Right, I know this is what I want, and I was the one who left him. But a part of me was hoping that he… I don't know…will maybe ask me to go back home.Yet, he is still seeing Luna, and I feel, so freaking numb because I don't know how to process any of my emotions. I am afraid to feel a thing because then I will have to listen to my heart which is telling me to go back to Nero.Thankfully, Loki didn't bug me when I told him I wasn't going to school until after the full moon. I don't think I would have the strength to see Nero every day.
