JENNA

I ran up to my room, not stopping even when the luna called me back. I didn't stop until I was safely in my room, the door locked.

I tore the dress I was so happy to wear just a few hours ago, off me. With tears rolling down my face, I pull out the pins holding my hair up, tossing them to the floor with angry force.

I changed into a t-shirt and jeans then pulled on a hoodie over my head. It was too big on me. It took only a second to realize it was Jason’s. He’d give it to me that night, one week ago when we were out by the river. I was cold before we went to sleep. Right there on the river bank, naked bodies tangled and arms wrapped around each other.

My heart aches when I think of seeing him everyday. Having these memories forever. Both the good ones and the bad ones.

I couldn’t handle that.

I started removing the hoodie with trembling hands, but his scent kept me warm and made my insides flutter. I hated that he brought this pain upon me, but just his scent acted like a balm to my burn.

My legs are unable to carry me and I crumble to my bedroom floor, wrapping my arms around the hoodie tighter as I cried into it. Letting my sorrows soak the material.

I cried for a while before I got up and I started pushing clothes into a duffel bag. I took the little money that I had from working during the summer and shoved it into my pockets. I was about to climb out my window when a thought came to me.

The luna has been great to me. Both she and alpha, they took me in when I didn’t have a family and they had no idea who I was. They took care of me and raised me as their own.

Jason might have hurt me, but it isn’t their fault.

I tore out a piece of paper from my study table and wrote a short one line message. I signed it with my name and wrote the luna and Alpha's names on the back.

With one last glance at the room I grew up in, I go out through my window. Something Jason had taught me when we were fourteen, and thought it was cool to sneak out late at night.

I didn’t know where I would go or how I was going to do it. But I wouldn’t stay in this pack and live with the reminder that Jason didn’t want me. Knowing that he thought I was a freak just like everyone else.

If that meant becoming a rogue. Then I would take it.

It was easy for me to sneak out of the alpha’s house without being noticed. It was very late and I knew where most of the border patrol guys stayed.

This isn’t the first time I’m going out without permission or late at night. But it is the first time I plan on not coming back.

The pain and betrayal I felt earlier has reduced itself to a numb throb in my chest and everywhere else. I could feel it, I’m aware of it but it didn’t affect me.

“Hey.”

My heart drops to my stomach when I hear a sharp voice call out.

I planned on walking off and pretending I didn’t hear. The person clearly isn’t on the same page because they jog to catch up to me.

I’m yanked roughly by the arm. I turn and come face to face with Kristina.

Kirstina is the beta’s daughter and one of the people that bullied me the most. She is probably here to poke fun at me.

Her pink lips pursed as she watches me.

I regret following this part of the pack immediately. I should have gone for the darker sides. There were entirely too many lights here.

“What are you doing out so late?” She asked, looking me up and down.

My fingers trace the strap of my duffel and I shrug.

“I could ask you the same thing.” I muttered.

She snarls at me before bringing her hand up.

Usually, I didn’t fight back whenever they tried to hit me. Jason was mostly there and they were all scared of him.

I grabbed my wrist before she could land her slap. She gasped in surprise. Totally shocked that I would dare do that.

“Don’t even think about it.” I hiss through gritted teeth.

My wolf perks in my head, angry that she wanted to hurt us. After what happened with Jason tonight, she is pissed with everyone. I wouldn’t try to stop her if she chooses to pick a fight now.

Kristina looks at the bag on my shoulders and her mouth parts in realization.

“So, it is true.” I didn’t reply to her. “Your mate rejected you?!”

Tears sprang to my eyes and that hollowed pain started becoming real again. I shove her aside and start running in the opposite direction. Knowing her, she’ll let everyone know what happened and I didn’t want to be forced to stay here.

I ran for so long, until my lungs burned and my chest heaved.

The yearning in my heart grew the more distance I put between me and Jason. It didn’t make me stop, even when the pain threatened to steal my breath from my lugs.

The woods weren't safe this late at night. I was lucky I didn’t run into any rogues or hunters.

I felt it when I left our pack. The anguish I felt inside was almost like the pain I felt when the rejection hit. Like I was being torn apart.

I couldn't breathe well, my wolf was whimpering and howling in pain in my head. It is the worst I have ever felt in my life. Instead of letting the pain slow me down, I let it push me.

I refuse to stop until I'm as far away from the pack as I can get.

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   Epilogue

    JENNA If someone told me I would be marrying Jason, before I ever told him I loved him. I would have laughed in their face. But I did. I walked down the aisle. In the dress of my dreams if I ever had one and my babies were there. They were the best thing to ever happen to me in the world. They were already warming up to their father. Especially Nina. There was no surprise there as we all knew she would be a daddy’s girl. She has refused to leave her dad’s side. Ryan has stuck to mine. And Kai being the most carefree was already running around. Getting everyone in the pack to fall in love with him. Liz was taken away, along with her father. They were locked in the dungeon until their trial with the werewolf council. They were facing charges of attempted murder and kidnapping. And many other things Jason assured will be found. Alpha Zade mentioned how the council had been trying to get some dirt on Liz’s father. He was manipulative and a terrible person. But he also knew how to ti

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   190: Forever And Always

    JASONI underestimated Liz’s level of craziness. When my phone rang and I saw it was an unknown number, I knew instantly it was her. So I picked.The last thing I expected her to ask for was for me to marry her in exchange for Jenna and my kids’ freedom.Oh, and she isn’t stupid so I’ll have to sign an agreement to waive my rights as their father. She was also adding a no divorce clause.I was eerily calm for some reason.Maybe it was stemming from the fact that I knew I had multiple teams waiting outside of that warehouse. Ready to put her down. I assume she was there with the kids and Jenna too. Just to be safe. Alpha Zade said to hold out till we were sure they were inside.We’ll get them to safety first so there are no mishaps.Aiden was with me. Throughout. With Zeke unreachable as of now.I pretended I was giving into her demands. She had to be here for us to be wed. She wanted the mating ceremony to happen right now too. Because according to her, she wasn’t going to take chance

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   189: Ultimatum

    JENNAI’ll never forget this year in my life.I woke up in the trunk of a car. My hands were bound and tied to my legs and there was a tape over my mouth. Let me not mention the banging in my head.It was like my skull was being hit with a sledgehammer over and over again.A moan rips from my chest but it came out muffled thanks to the tape. I tried moving my legs and hitting the back of the car to gain the attention of whoever was driving.I couldn’t tell if they didn’t hear me or they just chose to ignore me. Seeing the state I was in, I would go with the latter.The drive goes on for a long time. I felt like I was going to die because of how tightly closed this place was and the position I was in was horrible. I would have been fine if they just tied me but kept me in the seat with them.When the car stopped, my heart raced. Both with anticipation of the air I would breathe and worry. Because I have seen just how crazy Liz is. Lord knows how crazier she can get. And we’re probably

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   188: True Truth

    JASONAiden bursting into my office saved Liz’s father from my wrath. If it wasn’t for him, I definitely wouldn’t have hesitated to choke the man to death.“Alpha,” he was breathing heavily, looking like he ran a marathon.“What?!” I growled the question out. Pissed off at everyone and everything.And the damned old man has still refused to speak. He was clearly protecting someone. I just didn’t know if it was Liz. But she was his only daughter. So it had to be her.She had never given the indication that she knew about Jenna and the kids. I only recently found out myself and seeing as it was after they were kidnapped. I’d say they found out before me.But how?Jenna was rarely mentioned around the pack. Most of the pope that knew her have left the pack. Now in neighboring packs with their mates. And the younger pack members didn’t know her. Maybe just from stories or here and there.Then their parents. They were the ones that were always with mum when she spoke about Jenna. And after

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   187: Lots Of Crazy

    JENNAI’m woken by the sound of something hitting the wall. A thudding I couldn’t exactly explain.When my eyes first opened, I blinked multiple times and tried to remember where I was and my name. Because the first thing that came to my head was Nana knocking on the door.It didn’t make any sense, seeing as my house had a doorbell. And I had a live-in maid because of the kids. So she would have gotten the door.I was in Jason’s bedroom. And that was all I needed for my memories to come back.Not that it explained the sound I was hearing. I stretched on the bed, raising my hands high above my head.“Sleeping in his clothes, on his bed. The bed he never let me sleep on!” I turned sharply to the direction I heard the voice.Like a psychopath, or some other kind of crazy person. Liz sat at the dresser, her eyes locked on me and her hands pounding on the vanity table.That was the source of the sound I kept hearing. Well, I guess that mystery is solved.“What are you doing here?” I asked,

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   186: Calling It Off

    JASONJenna ended up falling asleep after our conversation. She was tired from the day’s activities.Even though I had Zeke’s new weird behavior. In my mind, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t more focused on what we spoke about.I was about to confess my love to her. To directly tell her that I loved her and I wanted to spend all of eternity with her. Or as long as we had to leave. Though I was disappointed she didn’t let me say it. I later realized it was better that way.I wouldn’t have the engagement hanging over my head when I thought of being with her. I’m going to officially call it off in a few minutes.Now, when I finally tell her, there isn't going to be anything on my conscience. It’ll just be me, her and the kids.Kristina met up with me when I was going down the stairs. It just reminded me of the note I made to myself about talking to her.You could clearly see the effect the whole mate thing with Zeke had on her. And I didn’t for one second believe that it was all norma
