*******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.
*******Luna POV******* One day before the full moon. I know that I should be happy that after all the acting and lies, Nero is finally going to be mine. But how can I be happy when my dear sister is in my face all of the time! Now my insecurities are making me even more enraged than glad that the day is almost here. Although Blake had not spoken much about her date with Killian to anyone, not even my father, I knew she didn't like him, and that's kind of bittersweet for me. Apart of me wants her to take him off my hands, and yet, I hate that it's her he's with, after all, I am still his mate. This… none of this should be happening! My life was per
******Jason POV*******Loyalty is a burden that has me still visiting Nero even though every time I see him, I want to knock the shit out of him.I know that he knows he's making a terrible mistake to let Blake go. But I guess whatever he and Vladimir Fang discussed that day, it had messed with his head so badly.His father has a high influence on him, especially if it's something relating to his mother. If Vladimir says jump, even if Nero rebels, he will at last ask, "How high!"The respect that I have for Vladimir is great, but I have spent my entire life with Nero. We both watch each other grow up, and that's how I know Blake is not like the others.That's why it was so freaking easy, although painful, for me to suppress my growing desire for her.And that's the reason, I am standing in the hallway of Nero's villa, hoping that I can convi
********Blake POV*********My gaze didn't abandon my phone screen as I continuously gazed at the message Nero sent me a while back, "Call Jason. We got into an argument. I think he's going to act stupid and come get you tonight! Talk him out of it."That's all he had to say. The toxic part of me was hoping that there would be more. But he hasn't sent anything else.My fingertips were so close to the letters on my keyboard, but my pounding heart was making me nervous to write anything.It took a while for me to calm my shaking hands and write back, "I talked him out of it, and he's not going to come tonight."After pressing send, I held in my breath when I s
Staring at Karen's serious expression, I knew that she wasn't kidding, and a part of me wanted to run as far as I can, away from her… away from whatever she had to say because I knew… I knew that I wouldn't have the strength to give in to my father's wants if I start having second thoughts. "I don't need proof. I need you to get out of my way." I told her. At that moment my phone buzzed, and I anticipated who message I just received which left me scared to look at the screen. Pretending as though she didn't hear a thing I said, Karen pulled out her phone from her purse and mumbled, "Just listen." "Karen, move!" I raised my voice at her as fear squeezed my heart. "Are you sure you want
***********Nero POV******** They say, "out of sight, out of mind." But when Blake was gone from my place, she wasn't out of my mind, it was just that I could easily focus on what mattered when she wasn't in my face. But then I saw her tonight, and damn it, I have that same stupid desire to keep her safe and act recklessly for her. "Nero, please listen to me. I swear, I didn't deceive you." Luna cried, her eyes moist. This wasn't the plan. Tonight was about me taking the easy way out of this mess… reject Blake, claim Luna, and hopefully get the list sooner than later with her help. "I am sorry. But Miss Noble was just as convincing as you are
*******Blake POV******* My heart was racing so freaking fast that I didn't know how to calm myself down, and my mind was still trying to figure out what the heck happened out there. But the main reason my heart wanted to burst out of my chest was that Nero was so freaking close to my body. Tonight, I expected so much bad stuff to happen, and all my worst nightmares to come true. But being this close to Nero again was freaking unbelievable. I was so excited, even though I was worried. But I was not that worried about what we do because I brought Nero to my room and not where Loki asked to take him because my bedroom is way more secure than most places in this mansion.
*******Nero POV****** The weight of Blake's head on my chest and the way she had snuggled herself so close to my body left me with a smile the instant my eyes opened. How can someone so dangerous have such an innocent presence? Maybe that's what makes her even deadly. "Miss Blake, are you in here?" An omega's voice echoed from the other side of the door, and from the shiver in her tone, I could tell that there was a storm. There were a couple of silent seconds. Then there was a knock and she called out, "Please. If you are in here, say something. Your father is asking about your whereabouts, and we have been searching everywhere for you!" Th
