JadeBy the time Conan and I finished, I was exhausted, wrung out, and would probably wake up sore as hell the next day, but I didn’t care. Cona hadn’t held back the second time, and that was what I needed. The first time, after I had my first orgasm that was self-induced, he had fucked me long and slow, taking care of me.And when my orgasm came around again, it had nearly destroyed me, but not as much as the feeling of Conan coming apart in me had rocked me.“Aren’t you tired?” I yawned, watching Conan through half-droopy eyes. We’d gone at it fast and furious, and the slow and sweet, and I was ready to pass out, he still looked alert and awake.“If by ‘tired’ you mean you wore me out, perhaps,” he said in an uncharacteristically teasing tone. “But if you’re asking whether I’m sleepy, no.”“Why??” I mumbled..“I have insomnia. I sleep for just a few hours a night— and that's if I'm lucky.I frowned. “But that’s…” Another huge yawn. “Not good.” Humans need sleep, even werewolves. How
Jade"I don't know, Helene. I woke up this morning and he was already gone. No note, no message, nothing.""Damn…" She whistled."I don't want to jump to conclusions, but last night…"I told her about what had happened at the ball, about the fact that we almost kissed, about what he had said about redefining our relationship and about how he had slightly opened up about his past."Coupled with the fact that we had…you know last night, I thought that maybe…""Maybe, he wanted to be in a real relationship with you?" Helene asked, her voice soft."Yes…" I replied, picking at a thread in the blanket I had wrapped around myself."Oh, honey…""I know, I know. It's stupid of me to think so, especially since I have only known him for a couple of weeks. I mean, I don't know anything about him and vice-versa. I just…""I understand. I'm gonna be honest with you, I do think things happened a little too fast, but from what you've said, I'm beginning to believe that this Conan guy also has feelings
JadeI stood up from my huge leather desk and bowed my head slightly as she walked in."Good day, Your Majesty."Her gaze flickered over me like I was a piece of dirty gum that had gotten stuck on the sole of her Chanel Heels.I swallowed and injected steel into her spine, reminding myself of the reason I was even standing there in the first place."So you're her," she eventually said, her voice snotty like that of an high school mean girl.I gave her a small smile. "If you mean the new pack doctor, then yes, I am. Please have a seat, Your Majesty."She gave an unimpressed look before perching on the chair. "Why?""Pardon." I pasted a confused look on my face, but inwardly, my mind was whirling.Does she know anything? What does she mean by 'Why?'I continued to maintain my composed face, even as her snide remarks continued to test my patience."Why are you here? In my pack, strutting around as though you own the place. I remember you running out of the mating hall in shame many years
Jade"A pack festival?" I asked, incredulous."Yes," he replied, nodding absently as he reached out and nabbed a piece of my fries.It's always one thing or the other in this pack. First, a welcoming ball and now a pack festival? I'm not in the mood for all this. I hate all this and I just want to go home and have family around me again."What do you hate?"Startled, I turned my gaze to Conan who was looking at me with a brow raised, chewing on the fry he had taken from my plate."Did I say that out loud?""Not really, you were murmuring so I couldn't hear you well. Are you okay?"A day after I had made my declaration about us being just co-conspirators in my revenge plan, he came by during my lunch hours with takeout.I had ignored him, focusing on the patient records I was going through. He had tried to get me to eat with him but eventually stopped when I wouldn't stop icing him out. He remained, however, and continued eating his portion of his meal, only smirking and saying nothing
Jade"What about you Jade",Conan said as he grinned mischievously.I just stared back at him, short of words.He sighed when I remained silent and handed the box to me."What is it?"Don't tell me that it's another pair of clothes for our date tonight?""You won't know until you open it," he said.I hesitated."C'mon, it won't bite. Open it, Jade."I opened the box to check the content and to my surprise, it was a framed picture of me."How did you get my picture, Conan?" I asked as I admired the tasteful picture. The picture was from the night of the ball we had attended a few days ago. It had been taken while I was mid-smile smiling at a young wolf who had been trying to flirt with me.I don't remember taking any pictures that very day. My brows furrowed in confusion."Do you like it?" He asked softly."I do. But you still haven't told me how you got this picture.""I secretly took it on the night of the ball. I couldn't stop staring at you and had to take a picture of you, especiall
Jade"Me? What do you mean by that?" I asked him.“Isn’t it obvious that she is jealous? She doesn’t want you near her husband,” he said.I nodded absentmindedly as I thought about what Conan had said. One of the things that had bothered me about this 'mission' was that I would basically be stealing another woman's mate and causing problems in their relationship.However, seeing Trina earlier that day and the way she had spoken to and treated me had made my guilt ease off a bit.Conan led me through the shiny and gaudy palace to a formal dining room that was just as extravagant as the rest of the palace. The walls were all decked out with gold trim, and a huge chandelier hung from the ceiling, lighting up the place.The table was this long, shiny mahogany thing with fancy chairs around it. They had these cool patterns carved into them. On the table, there were fancy dishes and crystal glasses, making it clear they weren't messing around with the whole formal dinner thing.The walls wer
Brad's POVJade came back into the dining room, looking spooked. I watched as she went back to her seat, adjusting her chair so that she and Conan were pressed together.She leaned closer to him, his arm brushing her high, firm breasts but neither of them seemed to mind.She whispered something to him and he nodded while placing a tendril of her hair that had escaped its bun behind her ear."Babe?"I turned to Trisha who was looking at me, with her eyebrows raised in question."What?" I asked her, my voice unnaturally rough. Her eyes flicked downward and I followed her gaze to see that I was clutching onto my knife hard enough that my knuckles had begun to whiten."Are you okay?" She asked."Yeah, I'm fine," I said as I released my grip and forced myself to smile at her. "Are you okay?" I asked in return."I'm fine, but I'm beginning to feel nauseous," she replied.I raised an eyebrow at her. "I thought morning sickness only happened in the morning."She let out a shrill laugh that gra
Jade My breath shuddered out in a sigh of relief as I looked to the left and saw Conan standing by the door. The door looked lopsided as though it had been thrown off the hinges.Looking at the position we were in, I was pressed against the wall with Brad fully pressed against me. My hands had been pinned above my head by Brad's large fist, while his lips were attached to my neck.I whispered, "Conan…"He zoomed over to us and wrenched Brad off me, throwing him against the wall.I gasped in shock and a little bit of fear as Brad went flying, hitting the wall with a resounding thud, before crumbling to the floor.Conan turned to me and I gasped again, his eyes looked red like that of an Alpha… he closed his eyes briefly and when he opened them again, they were back to the golden yellow of a wolf."Are you okay?" He growled as he walked over to me. “I’m fine," I said.“But you shouldn’t have done that, he's the Alpha!" I whisper-yelled at him as I began to think about what the punishm
