I groaned as I opened my eyes and I saw Peter, Jane and Katherine staring at me.My vision was still quite blurry but I could tell they were the one. “You are finally awake!”Peter shuddered as he stepped closer.“What happened to me?”I asked in a weak voice as I supported myself up, leaning on the bed frame now and a pillow that supported me from behind. “You had a blackout and trust me when I say you don't look good at all.”Jane replied as she touched my neck to feel my temperature. “When last did you even get a proper sleep?”Katherine snapped as she sat down on the left side of the bed, opposite Jane. “You really looked messed up, Snowy!”Jane whimpered as she touched my body and my face.“It's just the second day and you already have bruises all over your body? C’mon Snowy, I really doubt your chances of being his mate!”Katherine said.“Get off it already!”Jane yelled at her immediately as she pressed my wound gently with the towel she had soaked in a hot water. “You will
Jace's POV.“We'll be going for hunting today in the woods - it's been a while I went to the cabin and spend some time there with Fluffy.”I shrugged as I got up from the swivel chair.“And you can let her know she has two days off before resuming her duty!”I snapped as I picked up my heavy black coat.“Are you being serious right now? C’mon Jace, she is your second.”“Can you just stop already? I am giving her two days off, what other thing do you expect me to do, huh?”I scoffed as I looked at him.“Just prepare for hunting. It's been a while we caught some good preys.”“And how about Jack?”“You can keep him out of this. Just the two of us!”I muttered before leaving him. *****6p.mWe had rode the best horses as it was far more preferable as we were going for hunting. I couldn't afford to mess up my cars I had wasted so much money for just for a little hunting. “Are you sure you are going to get your target today?”Jones questioned as he looked at me.“A bull? Oh yes! Definitely
My wolves paused and right now I could tell they had their jaws dropped because for the first time, I was charmed by such an angelic beauty that drove me wild to different ecstasies. I smiled a bit as I stretched my right hand out to her. “You have nothing to fear any more. Come to me!” I said in a still and commanding voice. I could see the reluctance in her eyes and I saw fear build up in her eyes but then, I couldn’t tell what she was running from and what she was scared of. She walked down to me gently as she placed her right hand on mine. Her hand was soft and her smell became stronger and right now, all I could imagine was walking down the aisle to start a family with this complete stranger. “Where did you come from?” I asked in curiosity as I was lost in her eyes. “I barely made it out from the North.” She said gently. I smiled again as I tried to calm her down. I walked her down as I held her left hand. I could feel her heart that once raced fast get still. The night
I quickly rounded up my meetings with the elders as I showered and then, discussed with Jack a little over a cup of hot coffee as well. I wasn't going to do much anymore but I was going to sit back and let her reject me as her mate and have her resent me so much. That was the only chance I had left. If she could reject me as her mate and I did same, then the bond would be broken forever. I had dispatched more intels around New Orleans to track down Brandon Collier – my greatest adversary.I was going to get back to that traitor, Alpha. Connor, later. He posed little or no threat to me and even if he was to pull his entire pack warriors against me, he stood no chance to defeating one-third of my pack warriors.Whatever made me this powerful and feared was my pack warriors. I spent so much to keep them fit and they were all professionally trained by my top pack warriors who I had trained myself.In a day or two, or a week or two, it was certain that I was going to have Brandon Collier
Jace's POV.“So, I got a message from eldest uncle in New York and he said his son, Lark to be precised has shown interest in joining the pack warriors.”Peter muttered before sipping the liquor he was holding. “And why now?”I furrowed my eyebrows as I glared at him. “Don't tell me you have been speaking with Lark all these while and don't even tell me you are behind uncle's acceptance of Lark returning to the pack?”I growled as I got up from where I was seated.“C’mon, Jace if you are forgetting something here I will be reminding you that Lark, he is also and always be a member of this pack and also a royalty!”Peter snarled as he held the glass cup firmly.“Part of the pack? Huh?”“I can accept that but being part of the family? Hell no! That is bullsh*t.”I cursed as I pointed my right index finger at him. “And why is that? Huh? You tell me when you get to decide who is family and who isn't.”He growled angrily as he looked right into my eyes. I could see the rage that slowly
“Okay, Jace I know I wasn't right when I spoke to you in that manner but c’mon Jace, Lark will be coming in today and you gotta show up at the airport. It shows your forgiveness and acceptance for his family giving up on the pack 3 years ago.”He said in a gentle tone as he approached where I stood.Something I also enjoy was coming to this red lighted room to do some shooting and every time I get the target at the center, I was able to calm my racing heart and standing nerves. I went on three more times, ignoring Peter's presence there. I wasn't in the mood to talk about Lark. Not just yet. And the thought of it alone has me wishing I could have a hand to hand combat with his father, my uncle Kenneth Steele. “I know you resent Kenneth Steele for ever leaving when father needed him the most. I do know!”He went on as he kept coming closer.“I know you also resent him so much for not even showing up for father's burial or even returning to the pack to assist you and also when he dec
"Are you being serious right now, Snow?" Lark scowled as he returned back inside the club to see Jace whose head was now on the pub table."I tried carrying him up but his weight was too much." I lied, trying to still calm down my breath."And are you alright? Don't tell me soda gets you high?" He chuckled softly as he asked me to support him with Jace's phone and wristwatch which was on the table."I don't know why your heart is beating that fast but can you just put it under control?" He looked at me and smiled. I knew that wasn't a friendly smile in any way. He was warning me and I couldn't just believe my eyes. "He kissed me!" Raven danced about in my head in excitement. "He was drunk and nothing more." I snapped immediately, trying to erase the thought from my head as quickly as possible."Drunk?" She scoffed. "Didn't you hear him when he said we were going to be his mate no matter what?" She argued further. "Okay fine. Can we not go about arguing about that?" I said as
Jace's POV. I groaned as I managed to get up from my bed. My head ached severely and I had no memory of what happened the previous night and how come I ended up on my bed.The room was completely dark as the curtains were still down. I tried to stand up but then, I staggered back as I sat down back on the bed. I exhaled sharply as I clenched both sides of my head. I opened up my locker as I took out the painkiller that was there as I was in a deep pain right now. I slowly regained myself and I opened the curtains as the sun pierced through, blinding my eyes for some time. "Fuck!" I groaned as I realized that it was almost 12 noon and I had achieved completely nothing for the day.“One reason I hate clubbing now!”I cursed as I punched the cabinet as I groaned. I walked inside my bathroom as I filled my bathtub with foamy water and I entered inside, resting my head as I played with the water.The moment I closed my eyes I clearly saw when I had pressed my lips against Darcy Snow's
