Chapter 54I heard voices around the room and I was forced to open up my sleeping eyes. The first person I caught staring at me was him again, Jake. He was sure to be there since there was no way he wouldn't come checking up on me. My wolf jumped in happiness smelling him but all I could do was gaze at his handsome face sadly. I was still weak enough to maintain a smile. We both gaze at each other, his hands folded over his chest without no one noticing I was awake. I thought of what he might be thinking about looking blankly at me but I couldn't think of any. Maybe he was worried about seeing them on the sick bed again. Many thoughts ran through my mind and after about a few minutes, I decided to make a slight cough to inform others that I was awake. Of course, the first who came leaping to my side was Olivia, followed by Joe and Noah. They all wore a depressing expression on their face different from the one Jake had on his face. "Olivia!" The three of them called and I tried to
Chapter 55"I tripped," she managed to say since his breath kept fanning her face. She tried not to maintain eye contact with him but he wouldn't let her be. They kept quiet and gawked at each other's faces. Jake didn't want to believe Sarah that she had fainted because she tripped. It was impossible when she wasn't sick before and then suddenly she collapsed. How weird were her lies?He loosened his tight grasp on her and took her hands, pulling her after him to the couch. They got to the couch and he made her sit on it without his gape leaving hers. He placed his hands on his waist and stood akimbo in front of her and Sarah decided to give him the answer she thought might be helpful for her. "I developed some kind of headaches lately so, I think I got dizzy and fainted," she mumbled under her breath. "Headaches? That sounds absurd to be true," he said but Sarah had enough of his scold."I told you I slumped when I felt pains in my head and now you won't believe me? But come to th
CHAPTER 56"Just kill me!" Sarah shouted after laughing her heart out. Jake may think she was crazy but that's the only way she can get rid of the pain she was feeling at that time."How dare you raise your hands on me!" he shouted at her, caressing the spot where she slapped him, it hurt like shit."Because I am a slave, does it mean I don't have a right to be alive? You slapped me, your mistress tried to kill me and Olivia! Why is all this happening to me! Is it my fault that I was born into this world!" She shouted, ruffling her hair in frustration."Strip now!" He repeatedly and clenched his fist tightly."I… I… can't," she stuttered, moving backwards. Although she tried to deny it she could feel herself giving into his demand because of the mate bond. Yet, she was not ready to give him whatever he wanted, he would take advantage of her."Your mind says so but your heart says otherwise, come here!" he said with a smirk on his face. He smelled her arousal from where he stood and hi
CHAPTER 57Jake made his way to his father's room and gave the door a knock which his father replied to."Come in!" His father said and he pulled the door open. He walked in nervously rubbing his hands together. He knew that his dad would never be in support of what he was about to say but he had to at least give it a try."What do you want to say to this old man now?" his dad asked, sitting on the bed and looking at him."Umm… father, I have something important to tell you," Jake mumbled, scuffing his head and heaving a heavy breath. He knew what he was about to say could be the death of him but he had no choice.Alpha Dan furrowed his eyebrows at him, "Can you straight to the point?""I don't want to make Diva my mate," Jake proclaimed, "I don't want her.""It's not a choice, Jake. It's an order that you mate with her," Alpha Dan told him."I can't make her my mate, I can't," he uttered. "That's if you are going to be the next Alpha of this pack! She's fit to be the Luna of this pa
Chapter 58News soon spread like wildfire and it reached Sarah. She was passing by the hall when she heard maids like her chatting that Jake and Diva were soon to be mated and the preparation was going on. Upon hearing them, she gasped for air and told herself it wasn't true. She told herself not to believe that Jake and Diva were mating soon but she couldn't deny it. Jake had told her that he can't be with her yet, he slept with her and now he would mate with Diva? Her heartbeat raced and she felt it tearing into lumps. She placed her hands on her chest and held the wall for support. "It can't be true," she kept telling herself. Jake can't leave her behind after she had thought he would eventually fall for her. Was she wrong all this while or has she been thinking of things that she shouldn't have thought of? She groaned and tried to carry her wobbled legs but she couldn't. She stood, holding onto her arching hearts and tears began to drop from her eyes. Why was she so ignorant? W
Chapter 59"Who are you to make a decision? You won't be my maid again? Sure, you must be joking because I'm the only person who can deny you of your choice," Jake taunted and stood up from where he sat. "I will mate with Diva and you'll be my maid…" he paused as soon as he got to her and used his hands to push her hair behind the back of your hair. "And you keep doing what I want," Jake whispered to her while she gazed at him with disgust. Jake kept caressing her hair as they both stared into each other's eyes. "You will also lower your head whenever I'm talking to you or I'll pluck those eyes of yours," he instructed and Sarah quickly bent her head low. Not like she felt defeated but because she knew he wouldn't be someone who might want to protect her again. Jake smiled at her obedience and moved away from her. He moved to his closet and searched through it looking for what to put on. When he found the robe he wanted to wear, he brought it out and wore it with Sarah's orifices st
Chapter 60Finally, the day of the mating came and every preparation had been made. Elders and associates with some other important people were already present in the hall waiting for the mates. Jake stood in front of the mirror gazing at himself. He was looking all handsome as always but the celebration was what he never wanted. He scoffed. If it hadn't been for his father then everything would have been distinguished. Just then, a knock came on Jake's door and Sarah who was helping him out rushed to open up the door. Pulling the door lobe, her gape met with Rhonda, Diva's maid who was carrying a pad with some golden bangles placed on it. She and Rhonda both eyed each other before Rhonda pushed her out the door for her to get in. Sarah became furious as her eyes followed Rhonda inside the room. She wished she could get a hold of her and warn her never to act that way to her but she kept her cool since they were not alone. She knew Jake might want to take his mistress' maid's side.
Chapter 61Jake veered his face to Diva, his eyes switching from his normal eyes colour to the colour of his wolf eyes. Diva bent her head to avoid his gaze and she was left to whimper as the priest came to release the white piece of cloth that had bonded their hands together.Jake didn't wait for the fabric to be fully removed when he jerked his hands away and ran down the altar to join the fight. Within a seconds, he had shifted into his wolf and he roared violently shooting the dead of the day. Almost all the shifters joined in the dispute including pups that were strong enough to face the battle. The fight went on and on and since the rogues had come into their territory, they were not up to the pack's standard. Even when they were caught unexpectedly, Eclipse pack made sure they made brutal damage to the unknown rogues. It was surprising and fascinating to see that rogues had come to terrorize their pack when they knew that fighting a great pack would lead them to their death.
