I looked across the yard to where Jessie was currently playing in the sandbox with my younger siblings, Cassie and Caesar and his younger brother Josh. Julianna had gone down for a nap not to long ago and was inside in the playpen along with Kyle, Marc's son and Lily, Alexa's daughter. I smiled as I watched him make a small mound only for the boys to crush it with their toy cars and Cassie to pout and cross her arms as her brother and friend ruined the mound. I was falling for this kid fast and hard but I didn't care. There was just something about him that pulls you in. I would've still gone after him if he wasn't my mate and I would've rejected whoever had been because I feel a connection with him something I doubt I'd ever feel with anyone had he not been my mate. I know her ejecting ones mate was a death sentence but I didn't care. I still wanted and will always want Jessie as my life partner. "Do you like him?" A voice asked making me jump and look over to see Jericho standing b
Thinking back to last night when Princeton took me to the beautiful lake with the waterfall had a smile on my face but it quickly went away when I thought back to our talk. I felt exhausted. My body just felt numb. It's been two years since I thought about Emmanuel and what he did to me that it just completely drained me. Princeton's arms had been the only thing keeping me standing. I clenched my eyes shut as the memory of that night kept crossing my mind. I had apologized but he just shook his head saying that I didn't need to be sorry because I didn't do anything wrong and he just held me. And for the first in two years I can finally say that the weight that has held me down has finally lifted of my shoulders and it all it took was a simple question from Princeton to make it happen. Who knew that just hearing Emmanuel's name after two years would be a weightlifter? I sighed and closed my eyes as I relieved that moment. Ever since we met, two weeks ago, Princeton and I have gotten c
I grabbed hold of the bastard by the throat once we were shifted to human and threw him across the woods where he landed on a tree causing it to break under the force and his weight and stalked towards him, I could tell that the pack was near by waiting, watching the scene hidden from view. I snarled at them to keep their distance and they growled back and did as told but they didn't leave. They waited patiently as I stalked my pray as he struggled to get back to his feet, blood pouring down his sides, stomach and chest where I had sunk my claws in. I could hear him struggle to breath as his heart hammered in his chest. He lifted his head as I approached and staggered back as he begged me to let him live. To let him go. To stop. He was shaking and begging but I sneered at him."Did you fucking stop when Jessie begged you to? Did you fucking let him go when he asked you to? Did you fucking stop when Jessie was crying for you to stop the pain you were causing him? The answer is no. No
I woke up to the sun shining down on me threw my open window and groaned. I opened my eyes looking around the room to see the time only to realize that I was not in my room but Princeton's. Why was I in here? My eyes felt heavy and puffy which made me remember what had happened. Where was he? Shaking my head to get of the sleep, I climbed out of the bed and made my way to the built in bathroom to wash my face and grimaced when I saw my reflection. My hair was all over the place and my face was red and blotchy from crying. God I act like a pubescent teenage girl on her period. I sighed and quickly dried my face before leaving both the bathroom and room,closing the door behind me. I crept down the stairs and jumped when I heard glass shattering in the kitchen and Nick and Bella's gasps of shock. I ran to the room only to see Morgan in his wolf form getting ready to attacking Princeton who was on his feet yards away from my friend. His body was shaking and his hands were balled at his s
Jessie and I were laying on my bed watching Grey's Anatomy when out of the sudden Marc's voice filtered through the pack link ordering the pack to get the women, children and elderly into the safe room including Jessie and his siblings and I stiffened when he said rogues were closing in on the pack. I cursed and Jessie looked up with a frown"What's wrong?" He asked as he watched me get out of bed and put on my shoes and throw on a shirt "Rogues. Come on let's get your siblings" I said and he widened his eyes before scampering of the bed and putting his shoes on and followed after me as I went down the hall towards Jenna and Jericho's rooms whiles Jessie went to get Josh and Julianna from theirs. "What's going on?" Jericho asked as he held Jenna's hand and followed me towards the stairs where Jessie was already heading down. Josh held his arms up for me to pick him up and I did and carried him down the stairs towards the safe room. Papa was standing at the door waiting for more peop
"There has to be a reason why we've been attacked twice in a span of five weeks" Princeton said as we all stood outside in the freezing cold. It's been four days since the attacking and since Princeton was almost killed because of it. His injuries had healed completely by yesterday which I was happy about. I hated to see him in that hospital bed with wires hooked up to him, the only thing letting me know he was still alive had been the heart monitor beeping constantly and the fall and rise of his chest and he breathed. "And a reason why they targeted Princeton" Marc added and there were murmured and growls all around the yard at the mention of Princeton and getting severely injure a few days ago. My grip on Princeton's hand tightened making him look down and pull me closer kissing my temple."Training and patrol will be increased until we figure out why rogues are attacking and why they're targeting Princeton" Marc added before dismissing the meeting and I was beyond glad because I w
"I want to complete the mate bond" Jessie said making my head snap up to him as he stood in my doorway, chewing at his bottom lip and I blinked. I sat my book down on the table and pushed away from my desk and beckoned him over and he bit his bottom lip but turned around and closed the door behind him. I could hear the soft sound of the lock turning into place before he walked over to me and climbed onto my lap."I don't want you to say that just because of what happened two weeks ago, Jessie. I want you to take your time" I murmured but he shook his head "I know I'm afraid to do anything sexual with you but I want to. I want you in every way shape and form, Princeton and it's not just because of what happened but because I want to. I want you and that's the tea" he said with a cheeky grin making me laugh. He was ridiculous sometimes but god did I love this guy."God I want you so bad, Jessie but I want our first time to be special" I whispered and he nodded with a pout "I don't wan
"Do you have everything?" Princeton asked as he carried the last of the suitcases to the awaiting car and I nodded. With one final glance at the house, I followed him out to the front where my siblings were already waiting in the car. "I don't want to go" I whined looking up at Princeton and he chuckled leaning down and rubbing his nose on my neck make me gasp as he skimmed over my mark and felt him smile against my skin"We can come back during the summer just you and me" he murmured, voice husky making body shiver at the suggestion and I nodded "Now let's get home, you have classes to get back to" he said pulling back and holding the door open for me to climb in and I groaned at his reminder. The drive to the pier was short and before I knew it, we were once again boarding the boat they had brought us to the island from the airport. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, birds were flying over head, seagulls squawking in the distance. "Big brother look" Jenna yelled and I looke
