A/N// So this chapter was short. I didnโt have much for Delilah to say, but I wanted to include how she felt about all of this before moving back to JakeโฆI really want to see how determined he is; poor soulโฆ
Jake leant against the door jamb that led to the kitchen, watching as the omegas filled the dining table with breakfast. Everything had to be perfect. According to Neil, he had to set the atmosphere. Flowers were something women lovedโฆso he told them to bring a few roses in a vase and just put them
Stepping down, he straightened himself and directed his eyes back at her. He had to seem confident; even if he wasnโt. โBreakfast is already on the table, you might want to come eat before it gets too cold.โ โO-Okayโฆโ her cheeks were beautifully flushed and her hair that had been loose last night w
So the first four steps didnโt go exactly as he planned they would, heโd expected a romantic breakfast, but all he got was a silent one. Dinner was going to be better, he promised. Step five was to buy her things she likedโฆwomen liked flowers, but what they liked even more was clothes and jewelryโฆa
โBut yo~โ Jake cut the link before Neil could begin his protest. He was a perfect beta, but everybody had flaws; his was his big f*cking mouth that complained whenever he was assigned a task. Sighing, Jake continued walking until he made it to the white, whatever model car parked in the roadway be
Rushing up the stairs, he did just that. He showered and changed into black trousers and a black button-up shirt that wasnโt buttoned all the way up. Neil told him to leave at least three buttons open to enhance seduction; in order for her to want him, he had to make her want himโฆ Didnโt make much
Was the goddess against this too? Because why was the rain falling when there was no sign of it since this morning? Was their relationship really doomed? Jake looked towards Delilah when she sat down beside him. โWhatโs wrong? If Itโs about the walk, we can just go tomorro~โ โNo, I f*cked up! Iโm
She glanced back when Jake grabbed her hand, holding on tight as he too stood to his feet. โOkayโฆI guess we can go then.โ Except for him, nobody loved her anymore except for him. He stepped off into the rain, taking her along with him, steps urgent, and yet, they didnโt break out into a run. Delil
Delilahโs eyes finally drifted from Jakeโs back when he stopped running, and instead looked off at apparently what heโd planned for tonight. On the low grass in front of them, red rose petals created a path that was guided by candles; white candles that the rain had violated. Rows of string lights
Jeo walked back to the shabby cabins where his men were. He was angryโฆat her and at himself. He regretted coming here now more than ever. It was all for nothing. She carried too much vengeance, the hate she had for him could never amount to love.A tired sigh left his lips as he shoved one of the ca
โYou know, I was happy about coming hereโฆI thought I could probably make something work, but with how much you seem to hate me for crimes I didnโt commit, nothing will ever work out between us. And Iโll just f*cking accept it.โ River shifted her gaze away from him as he left, making sure to aggres
When the door creaked open, and he saw her leaning against the desk in the center of the roomโฆthat was when he breathed outโฆalmost gasping at her beauty. She was wearing a bodysuit, one that covered but also showcased all of her. It was etched to her body, showcasing its every curve and the curves
Jeo came to a sudden stop in the woods heโd intruded. He could smell stale bloodโฆstale werewolf blood. He could also smell the venomoons that resided behind the invisible lines that marked their borders. He couldnโt see it, but somehow, he could tell exactly where their lands started, and he didnโ
Before Quinn could respond, Jeo quickly stood to his feet, holding a hand up. โIโll do itโฆ! Iโll do itโฆโ His impatient yell and then whispered words gained him everybodyโs attention, their eyes swung his way, all summing him up as though heโd gone mad. โDid you really just volunteer? Do you want
She took a seat in the last empty chair around the table without Zayd even having to tell her to. โI thought this alliance was about unity and peace, but there is no peace or unity when my people have to be on constant lookout for your next strike. Weโve withstood enough of this, if another mutt wal
Two weeks after the meet and greet, an official meeting was called and surprisingly, Jeo was to attend. He wasnโt exactly sure why Zayd wanted him to be present, heโd never been a part of something like this beforeโฆconsidering the size and the rank of his packโฆ He was sure this had something to do
And then she trudged through the door. Her words hurt, but Jeo followed her anyway, stopping when they made it to a door opposite to the one they just walked through. She sighed, turning to face him with eyes nonchalant and fierce; kind of like Quinnโs. โMay I ask why youโre following me?โ Jeo cl
She didnโt look at him for long, but he could see the recognition in those mesmerizing eyes. She knew who he wasโฆand yet sheโฆshe ignored him? Why? And this aura she possessedโฆwhat was it? She wasnโt a werewolfโฆbut her presence was strong. If she was the River Adams Zayd spoke of, then what exactly
