JASONThe doorbell rings, causing Jenna to get up and go open it herself.We were sitting together, both lost in our thoughts. After breakfast, the guys said they wanted to go into town for sightseeing but I chose to stay back. I couldn't tell you why.Iโve learnt more things about her since last night that we arrived. She had a cook, a cleaner and a driver. All of them donโt live in the house with her, which made me wonder how she managed when the kids were still here.She seemed okay. She made sure the guys felt like they were at home.She has known most of them all her life.I didnโt know if that treated her the way the rest of the pack did. She didnโt look like she held anything against them. She was nice and hospitable, and did everything to make sure they felt comfortable.When she came back, there were two women by her side, a man and two little boys. I wasnโt prepared for the onslaught of emotions I felt when the boys got close.They watched me from a distance, not sure if the
JASONโI was very close to sending out a search party for you.โWas the first thing said when I picked up the call. I decided I couldnโt avoid her forever. And if I wanted her to understand this, then the best thing wouldnโt be to ignore her.I should give her no reasons to think she has to worry.When in truth, you know you donโt like her even a little bit. Youโre going to ruin more lives and save none.I shook my head, focusing on what Iโm currently doing. Answering the call of my fiancรฉ, the same fiancรฉ Iโve been ghosting for the past few days.I assured her that everything was fine and I was fine.โIโve gone out of town for a little emergency,โI heard silence on the other end. It made me think she didnโt hear so I repeated myself.โNo, I heard you the first time.โ She goes quiet again. โIโm just surprised youโre just telling me.โMy forehead creased. I ignored the voice in my head telling me I owed her no explanation. Even if I didnโt, it is common courtesy to tell her something
JENNAI had no idea how just speaking with Jason started to make me feel things I havenโt felt in years.I couldnโt force myself to bring my hands down. Somehow feeling insecure of how I looked.I wasnโt as I used to be. Even if I hadnโt gained much weight after birth. My body was different. Nothing like how I was when we were teenagers.Of course, I was different. Iโm twenty five and I had kids.Why was I even thinking of how I looked? Jason isnโt going to see me that way ever again.He is engaged to be married. And Iโm focused on my business and kids.Telling myself that definitely didnโt stop the flood of warmth I was feeling everywhere. Or the tingle in my core.I had almost forgotten that part of my body existed for something beyond the basic functions.One day with Jason, and it was already remembering other things it shouldnโt. He should be the last man I should find interest in.My wolf doesnโt contribute to that argument, which I donโt blame her for. While he gutted her with
JENNAThe sheriff visited and he and Jason spoke. He told him of the progress they have madeโwhich isnโt much. Jason made it clear he was ready to do whatever to get the kids back.I know it is the barest minimum but it still made me feel butterflies. I was glad he isnโt letting whatever is happening between us get in the way of him doing the right thing.โWe have it handled, you can go.โI looked up at Jason a little surprised. I didnโt even hear him enter. Last I heard, he was in a meeting with someone Iโm not sure I know.โHoly cow. Thatโs your baby daddy?โ Claireโs surprised gasp reminds me of her presence and what we were discussing.โIโm Jason, nice to meet you.โ Jason stretched his hand out for her to shake.She jumps up from the seat, almost tipping the glass of water sheโd been drinking. She grasped his hands with enthusiasm, smiling widely.I rolled my eyes, looking away from them.โAnd I am Claire. The pleasure is all mine, handsome.โ She says in a flirty voice.I knew she
JASONI donโt know what I was thinking when I invited Jenna to come out for a walk with me. She shocked me even more by saying yes.โGive me a second to wear something else.โ She pointed to the baggy shirt sheโd been wearing.I swallowed thickly, seeing the outline of her tits from the light material. She doesnโt like wearing bras at home. One of the things Iโve noticed hasn't changed about her.I could remember our childhood days, where she would rather wear sports bras. And that too it's only when weโre training.I stood on the foyer until she appeared. Now wearing a bra, thankfully and track pants. I wasnโt sure I would be able to keep my eyes off her when we were outside.My wolf might grow possessive and hit someone if they dared look at her.No matter how much I told him she wasnโt ours. He found that hard to understand. If anything, he started fighting me for control.Her changing was the best.โThis place is nice.โ I commented a moment later.Weโve been walking for a while now
JENNAMy heart thunders in my chest, matching the erratic beat of Jasonโs. His hold is tight against me but he doesnโt move. I mirror the stillness of his body. Hating that I notice just how perfectly our bodies fit against each other.Even in this awkward position. It wasnโt hard to miss.I felt Jason grow rigid but he doesnโt move, he doesnโt release me either.Iโm not seeing anything that is happening but someone was walking towards us. Maybe two people from the sound of multiple footsteps.โDid you get her?โ A whispered voice asks.โBoth of them.โI didnโt know what they were talking about, but Iโm guessing it is the reason Jason started feeling dizzy. They didnโt touch me though.God, I hope he is better now. I donโt think I can fight off two men, especially if they are wolves.โWhat should we do now?โ The second voice asks this time.They are standing over us. Their shadow looms over us, making the place dark as they were hiding us from the setting sun.โTake them I guess. What
JASONI knew the sheriff was only doing his job. But he still annoyed the fuck out of me. And he was driving slow as hell. To make matters worse.Jenna didnโt seem as pissed as I did. Which is a good thing at least. I didnโt want her worrying about this. And thankfully, they didnโt hit her with whatever they did to me.Iโll need to go to the doctor and make sure it wasnโt anything dangerous. There are a few drugs that could cause real damage to wolves. And right now, we couldnโt handle any type of weakness or errors.We gave our statements and he assured us that heโll keep in touch and let us know whatever they find out. Jenna thanked him when he offered to drive us home. Saying weโll catch a cab. I didnโt know why she said that but I didn't ask either. Trusting she knew what she was doing.We walked out of the station side my side. The more my hand brushed hers, the more I felt the need to take her hand in mine and just hold it close to me. Not knowing how sheโll react to that made m
JENNAThe kiss starts out slow, almost innocent, just his lips moving against mine.Between that and me wanting to tell him this was wrong. I didnโt know how it progressed and I found myself sitting on his thighs, straddling him, with his hands down my shirt. Squeezing my boobs and me dry humping him.Our hands were everywhere. Like we couldnโt get enough of each other.Years worth of frustration, at least on my part, was released and I wanted him everywhere. The more he gave, the more I wanted.He lets out a deep groan, his hand tightening on my waist as he drags me along his hard dick. I threw my head back, letting out a soft moan.It felt good. So good. Too good.I didnโt remember it being like his seven years ago.โJenna,โ Jason grinds out. โFuck, Jenna. I neeโโI feel his hand tremble against my thigh as he tightens his hold.I had no idea what he was trying to say, his broken words made as much sense as the weather forecast did to me. I couldnโt understand.โGod, I hate to do th
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 daddyโs girl. She has refused to leave her dadโs 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 Lizโs father. He was manipulative and a terrible person. But he also knew how to ti
JASONI underestimated Lizโs 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 kidsโ freedom.Oh, and she isnโt stupid so Iโll 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.Weโll 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 wasnโt going to take chance
JENNAIโll 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 couldnโt tell if they didnโt 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 weโre probably
JASONAiden bursting into my office saved Lizโs father from my wrath. If it wasnโt for him, I definitely wouldnโt have hesitated to choke the man to death.โAlpha,โ he was breathing heavily, looking like he ran a marathon.โWhat?!โ 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 didnโt 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. Iโd 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 didnโt 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
JENNAIโm woken by the sound of something hitting the wall. A thudding I couldnโt 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 didnโt 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 Jasonโs 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.โSleeping in his clothes, on his bed. The bed he never let me sleep on!โ 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.โWhat are you doing here?โ I asked,
JASONJenna ended up falling asleep after our conversation. She was tired from the dayโs activities.Even though I had Zekeโs new weird behavior. In my mind, I would be lying if I said I wasnโt 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 didnโt let me say it. I later realized it was better that way.I wouldnโt have the engagement hanging over my head when I thought of being with her. Iโm 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. Itโll 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 didnโt for one second believe that it was all norma
JENNASeeing Amaya had to be the most shocking thing. Out of all the things going on. That was not in my game card. I didnโt even know what to think.All of this didnโt make any sense. And the look in Zekeโs eyes. You could very easily tell something was wrong. Majorly wrong.But since weโre not going to show her weโre on to her. I buried the surprise deep down in my heart and offered her a kind smile. Or what I hoped looked like one.โHey, what a pleasant surprise?โ I moved and pulled her into a hug.There was no reason to be mean to her outright. She had been nice to us while we stayed at that resort. The best thing to do is carry on with the way we left off.I felt her visibly relaxed against me. I could almost feel Kristinaโs pain radiating off of her in waves. And I mentally apologized to her for doing this. But it is for the greater good.I make sure to mention how great Amaya was to us and how we couldnโt repay her for being kind.โThere's so much we have to talk about,โ I told
JASONJennaโs words pierced a part of my heart. I know the situation was horrible but I couldnโt help the joy I felt at that.She loved me.That was all I heard in her words. But to be fair, she never said she stopped or she no longer did. She always spoke about how she couldnโt. Not she wouldnโt.And if my engagement is the only thing standing in the way of us being together? Then Iโll get rid of it and remove that obstacle.Iโm not going to stand back and watch myself losing her when there is a simple way for us to get what we want. For us to get her!Rex was on board with that. And the excitement of getting her back made me feel much stronger. He was ready to rain hell on whoever was there.Weโre getting our kids back, and Iโm not waiting another second for it.Watching Jennaโs tear filled eyes, I didnโt know when I pulled her face close to mine and joined our lips.I waited for her to push me away but instead, she kissed me back with equal frenzy.The rest of the world disappeared
JENNAAlpha Zade offered to give us his helicopter to cut our trip short. Jason still wasnโt able to reach anyone in the pack and you could tell how we panicked more.With no idea who it could be that was at the house, and what they knew. It felt like the worst thing ever.The scariest part had been knowing someone that was very close to us was involved in this.โWeโll keep in touch, and if thereโs anything you need, please do not hesitate to call.โ Alpha Zade had assured us before we left.Jason only made one request.โCan you keep track of the phone and update us?โThe man who had brought the news, Iโm guessing he is their tech genius, nodded.โSure alpha,โ he said. โIโll update you about the current location every hour.โThat was good enough for us.I was silent throughout. From the drive to the flight to the drive again.My mind was completely blank. I was shaking with fear but I seemed fine outwards. I thought I was going crazy, so much that I was staring at my hands to see if th
