~Jamorea~

I wanted to get some fresh air. I could still feel the pull to Dominic, and his scent was thick in the apartment. I couldn’t breathe properly, and I could barely breathe. I figured that a walk outside would be helpful, and it would keep Brackston off my back. 

I didn’t intend to run into anyone, and I wasn’t planning to talk to anyone. Most people who see me usually just nod at me, but give me a wide berth. I never thought that I’d walk outside and encounter what

    ~Dominic~If you had told me that I’d be in my office with my mate in front of me, I’d say you were dreaming, but it sounds like a good one. She’s everything I could have ever wanted in a mate, and she’s standing in front of me. I couldn’t be luckier if I tried.Okay, so it’s a bit awkward. I don’t think she meant to come in here, but I’m not mad that she did. I’ll consider myself a winner if I can find a way to keep her here. Just talk to her.Not now, Gideon. I don’t have the energy to deal with you, too. He huffs, but stays present. His mate is here, and I’m sure I couldn’t force him away if I tried.“What brings you here?” My voice is rougher than I wanted it to be, but I can’t change that now.“Nothing.” I raise an eyebrow, which smooths out the moment I notice her flustered state. She definitely didn’t intend to say what she did. Interesting.“Meaning?” Jamorea ducks her head, staring at her hands that are sitting in her lap.“I… nothing.” I shift in the chair, leaning forward.

    ~Jamorea~I wanted to get some fresh air. I could still feel the pull to Dominic, and his scent was thick in the apartment. I couldn’t breathe properly, and I could barely breathe. I figured that a walk outside would be helpful, and it would keep Brackston off my back.I didn’t intend to run into anyone, and I wasn’t planning to talk to anyone. Most people who see me usually just nod at me, but give me a wide berth. I never thought that I’d walk outside and encounter what was just in front of me. If I had imagined it, I would have probably stayed inside.My chest is tight, and my breath is barely coming out. My hands are clenched at my sides, and I don’t like this feeling. You’re jealous.I’m not, Mona. I don’t care.Why are you lying?I’m standing behind a tree, and I want to rip it out of the ground. I watched the entire thing, and I hate that I feel how I feel. I w

    ~Dominic~I hit the bag again, watching it swing back and forth. I’m just slightly frustrated right now. Nothing too concerning, just trying to calm it down. You’re sexually frustrated. Let’s not downplay it. Oh, and I suppose that you have more control right now than I, Gideon?I didn’t say that… If my wolf is calling me sexually frustrated, I can guarantee he’s that much worse off than I am.We were so close… she was right there. I’m not saying that anything would have happened for sure, but I was in a good position to be physically closer to my mate. It goes up in smoke, just like that, because Aston chooses that moment to beam or appear into my place. It’s a good power, but it sure is a pain in the ass.I continue to hit the bag, letting punch after punch rain down. “Should I call someone to take the punching bag in? Clearly, its offense is significant.” I don’t stop punching the bag, but my mouth twitches at Aston’s words.The bag stops swaying when I land my punches, and I noti

    ~Dominic~That issue took much too long. The timing was all wrong because I finally had some private time with my fated mate, and the best part is that the truth was out. I didn’t have to watch myself around her or try to keep things quiet.I can fully be with my fated mate without any restrictions. I already told her about myself, about my past, and she’s still here. I don’t think she will be going anywhere, and that means great things for me.I step onto my floor and slowly make my way to the door. I will admit that I’m kind of nervous right now. It’s weird because I’ve always been someone with all the confidence in the world. Now that I’m going to face my fated mate, I am at a loss.I’m not assuming that anything will happen between us. To be honest, I’m pretty sure that neither one of us is ready to do anything major, bond or not. I just don’t really know how I should conduct myself around her right now.I open the door and walk into my apartment. I quietly close the door behind m

    ~Aston~The air bends around us, and we arrive to gasps and screams. “Uh, Dreamboat, I really think we should have called first.” I smile and tighten my arms around my queen. I kiss the top of her head, but don’t move from where I’m standing. “Maybe, but this may be safer for a while. We know of one traitor, but how do we know there isn’t another one? We have to be careful so we can keep our little lady safe.” In light of everything we have found out, we have to change how we go about our everyday lives. We need reinforcements, and there’s no point in waiting to reach out. The timeline Jamorea gave us happens to coincide with our wedding plans. I doubt that’s an accident. The thing is, we send out invitations all over, as one does. I have no idea how to trace them to find out who this elusive ‘Brackston’ is, the one causing so much trouble. Footsteps hurry toward us, but I don’t move an inch. I’m not really worried that anything bad will happen. I know that seems arrogant of me, bu

    I throw my pen down on the desk, no longer able to keep pretending that I’m not on edge surrounding this call. I pick up my phone, the one I use for rogue communication, and dial the burner’s number. To my surprise, it doesn’t take long for the call to be connected. There’s rustling, and then my breath hitches as her face comes into the screen. I’m tongue-tied, quite literally tongue-tied. As confused as I’ve felt all night, I truly didn’t think my call would be answered. I thought that I’d have to come up with a new plan, which would require me to go in and grab both her and the child. Seeing her face on the screen right now is muddying my thoughts in a good way. I clear my throat and focus on the screen. “So, what happened yesterday? I heard some things.” There’s a quiet that falls over us for a few beats.“I don’t know what you mean.” I quietly sigh, trying to keep my anger in check. “You know I have someone at that pack being my eyes and ears. I know you went to the cells yeste

    ~Unknown~My arms wrap around my body as it shivers. I swear this sleeping bag is useless. It does nothing to shield me from the elements. I wish I were in a better, more comfortable place. I wish I were with Khalid. I still don’t know how my brother is, and it’s eating me alive. I need to see him

    ~Dominic~She’s been back there for a while now. I have no idea what’s going on, and I’m slightly freaking out. I’ve been pacing back and forth, and my mind is a mess. She’s my mate; my fated mate. I know that I’ve been wanting this, but I didn’t, honestly, think it would happen any time soon. As

    ~Unknown~I have no idea how long it’s been, how long I’ve been in this tent. I lost count as my hunger took over. I’ve barely been given anything to eat or drink. Brackston says that it needs to be believable. I can’t say that I have any idea what he’s talking about. I don’t even know what the su

    My mom happened to be clear-headed for once, and she had Khalid with her. I guess she was taking him out for ice cream. I really think she knew what he wanted from me and allowed him to have that. I have no proof, but I can feel it in my bones. Anyway, he came after me in the house. He backed me i
