Mag-log inJamal's pov As I grabbed the phone, about to take the call, I pointed towards Louis, about to leave, the phone in my hand. "Wait there, I need to ask you some questions after."He bowed. "Yes, Alpha."I frowned as I picked the call, impatiently tapping my feet. Getting distracted from something was one thing, but when it concerned Jennita- in a situation where all my focus was on her, it was more agitating to say the least. Barely concentrating would be a chore now, I hoped Ray interrupted us for something important which I hardly doubted. "Took your time I see." He growled in disapproval"I didn't expect I owed you any time tonight. I apologize, I'll add you to the long list of my harems next time, Your Majesty."There was silence over the call for a full second before he let out a sigh. "Sometimes I feel you and Antonio intentionally try to test my patience each chance you have.""Don't compa
Jennita's pov My face burned from the discomfort of having the conversation I knew Jamal was going to initiate the moment he walked into that room, but majorly because it felt like his hands on me earlier had lit a flame inside of me that ignited my senses and made the skin of my body flare. I try to think of anything else, but it's Antonio that comes to mind. However all I can feel at the moment is pure bloodlust and rage. He was ruining things between me and Jamal. This was the Antonio I had blindly loved despite his flaws- these were flaws I should have taken into consideration before ever even thinking I was in love with someone like him. The way he always wanted to take the reigns in every situation, wanted everything to always go his way I used to find that attractive, because I had thought that was how an Alpha husband should act- asserting his dominance and authority. But now? It was annoying? His stupid stance to always take the lead had not only attempted to expose us to
Jennita’s pov I stir slowly, my brows furrowing as my eyes flutter open. A scarring light pelted through my lids, forcing me to blink severely as I turned my head with a slight groan. My limbs feel heavy, and a dull ache throbs at the back of my head. Upon scanning my surroundings, trying to remember why the hell I felt like shit, the soft haze of unfamiliar surroundings bled into focus. I was in a room, not mine. Jamal’s My eyes widened, and in an instant, I sat up, feeling the throbbing pain in my head instantly disappear as the memories came flooding in. Antonio, Brenda, the newborns…“Brenda. She… “Suddenly, the bed dipped beside me, and his familiar spicy scent instantly made my heart stutter. Sluggishly, I raised my head. Fierce grey orbs emanating darkness and a hunger so raw it left me breathless were locked on me, burning. “Jamal- “I managed, my voice hoarse. He didn’t let me finish. His mouth crashed onto mine, stealing me in a kiss that was fire and want all at once
Antonio’s pov “I don’t know how she did it, but she saved my mate’s life. From your reports, if Brenda had been brought in any second later while in her former condition, I... “Ray’s voice trailed, echoing in the throne room. I’m not sure whether he was looking for the right words to say, or he was trying to avoid completing the sentence any further. He didn’t look like a man who had just found out he had finally become a father after so many years; He looked mortified, angry, and regretful. “They did a scan, and the injections she administered to her were approved systematically; her fingerprints were found where she had expertly applied pressure to the bleeding. That was smart. Jamal never told me his Beta was a doctor.”A dark thought glazed over my mind, shadowing the look in my eyes before I masked the glint of emotion with my usual scowl, feigning ignorance as I scrolled through my phone. “Yeah, I’m sure that would have accounted for something then.”Already bored, I raised m
Jennita’s povBrenda lay in a pool of her blood, having single-handedly pushed out twin cubs already mewling into the nightfall beside her.I shift back to my human form, my bones cracking into place before I carelessly take a cloak from the kit box and wrap it around me, approaching her.“Jennita...,“ her head is matted with sweat and blood, and my heart twinges with pain, hearing the relief just from calling my name, the weak smile she shot me before she took a deep breath, moving uncomfortably in the trap.“You’re doing perfectly, Brenda. Just hang in there,” I looked over the trap, uncertain. It’s a hunter’s trap, alright. I’ve seen plenty of this while on hunts or patrol, but I’ve never seen anyone get caught in one, so I was lost on what to do momentarily. “I’ll get you out of this, alright.”“No!” I’m a bit startled at the sharpness in her voice as her eyes widened a bit, streaked with horror. “Please, just check on my cubs. Make sure they get to Ray immediately. Please Jennita
Jennita’s pov“Jennita, no one saw us.” Antonio sighed for the nth time as he swerved to the right, beating the traffic, while narrowly almost taking the life of a by-passer who audibly cursed at us. “No? What happens when Jamal discovers you took me to Dark Riser’s pack? He doesn’t know now. But he’s bound to find out. Did you think of that before dragging me along like some stuffed doll? I swear, Antonio...”“It was an emergency. Brenda needed you urgently, and I offered to help.” There was the snarky smirk on his face, as usual, looking unbothered about the situation as he increased his pace. I had no words. I could only sit back and buckle my seatbelt while hoping Brenda was still okay until we arrived. I would be grateful for Antonio’s help, but the only emotion he deserved from me was raw, burning hatred. Not even anger. I wouldn’t let him acknowledge that he had that much effect on me. Silence ensued in the car for a while. Soon, Jamal’s call came in. I bit my lower lip, sta
