116. Her new lover! Jade's POV"I know you like me too, Jade. Stop pretending like you are still in love with that asshole father of your son!" I ceased all motions and lifted my darkening face."Say that again?" I raised an eyebrow as my fingers tightened around the knife I was using to cut vegetables.Today is Sunday and this stupid man I have irritating me in my kitchen came here to drop the vegetables from our farm. He is Audrey, one of the workers working on the ranch for Turley.Dirty blond hair, dark blue eyes. He claimed that the other girls find him entrancing. He stood two inches taller than me. I dropped the knife as I was afraid I might just use it on him if he didn't stop being annoying. "I don't think I said anything wrong." He walked closer and took my hand."Let go before I kick you in the balls, Audrey." I growled and attempted to take my hand back.He's a year younger than me and the first time we met, I collided into him. He saved me. But that was not the end of i
117. A letter to dad Zach's POV Bloody asshole Rogue. I used to like the fucker earlier. But now I want to kill him with my bare hands. I am stuck here in San Francisco because of him. Stuffing my hands in my pocket, I strolled inside the park and settled down on a bench. The early afternoon sun left my back clammy. And yet, I chose to sit on a bench that scorched my ass. Kids were all around me, playing and making noise. They made me miss my daughter. But hell. There's no way I could go back home and hug her. It will have to wait, for I don't know how long, because some real rogues followed us into San Francisco. They're causing damage to property and humans around the county which is not good for the people. They believe they're some normal burglars. Henceforth, we are forced to stay back and eradicate every rogue that has followed in before everyone starts getting suspicious. Not us actually. Rogue is taking care of them with the help of Conor and his soldiers. Whereas I a
118. A devil like his father Jade's POVZade came right in time while I was setting the table up for lunch. He ran in Turley's arms with the book and pen, and a folded paper in the other hand that I suppose is the letter."Nonna, I wrote a letter for my dad. Do you want to read it?" He said delightfully."You really wrote a letter without your mom's help? That's impressive." Turley made him sit in her lap and took the letter from him.I was serving veggies salad on her plate when I noticed her jaw dropping. She refused to blink her eyes and her eyebrows arched as she read the letter, thus piquing my interest."Did you really write this?" She asked in a voice full of shock."Sure, I did, Nonna. With my own hands." He showed his tiny hands with dots of ink all over his thumbs and forefingers. I was really curious to see what he wrote that left Turley wonderstruck. I took the letter from her and read it.I was seized by an electrifying jolt of overwhelming emotion when I finished readi
119. The rogues got Zade Zach's PovWe traversed through the county and checked all the alleys we could. But there was no sign of the two rogues. We went as far as contacting Xan so he could hack into the CCTV footage of the cameras installed outside the shops.The rogues were dangerous and we had to eliminate them as soon as we could. But hell, it was as though they turned to smoke and disappeared."Did Xan share anything about the rogues? I asked Conor as one of his loyal men is in direct contact with him while we're busy running around the town. "Nope, he's still on it." He replied and leaned against the wall. While we decided to take a break from the search, Rogue was still on it. He has somehow become even more furious after recovering. He doesn't want to stop unless we have our fingers around the rogues' necks. "I need food." Conor's stomach rumbled, showing his hunger. So am I. I haven't downed anything after the cup of coffee and some nutty cookies I had the other evening
120. Will you hurt me, Zach? Zach's POVI felt the tremors of an earthquake in my core as I stared at Rogue's face. "You mean our Zade?" I don't know why I put it like that but I had no other way to ask it. As if Rogue knew my affection towards that boy, he slowly bobbed his head. I freed my hand from his grip and took two steps back. This feeling was vulnerable. I don't know why I was feeling like this! Zade was not my kid. It shouldn't bother me. But the little time I spent with him... It was more precious than spending years with someone. His face flashed across my gaze and I felt my eyes burning. I couldn't help but put him in Lelah's place. He was also someone's child and his parents must love him as much as I loved my daughter. For the sake of them, I had to free him from the rogues. Not to mention he was supposed to visit me today. We had a deal. So for the sake of that deal too, I whirled around and went up the stairs that took us to the first floor. "In that room." Rog
121. Jade is not dead Jade's POVI was working in the farm when my phone vibrated in my pocket. It was the Principal calling again.I closed my eyes and blew out a heave as it wasn't too long ago when I was called to school by her. After all, my son was a little devil who liked to cause chaos to others for even thinking about harming him.Preparing myself for another visit to school, I hit the green call icon and put the phone to my ear, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Watchman. What is it that Zade did this time?"A small smile cracked on my lips as I anticipated her reply coming with a long sigh. She always does that before telling me about my son and his mischief. "Miss Banks, I assure you there's nothing to worry about. However, a small accident has taken place in school." I dropped the tool I was using and focused solely on the Principal's voice that was coming slowly from the phone.I removed it from my ear and stared at it. I wasn't sure what the accident was about. But the thought of
122. Zade is my son alone Zach's POV It was as if my soul departed from my body when I saw Zade falling thud on the ground. I didn't waste a second as I rushed to him and picked him up in my arms. "Z-Zach..." "You'll be alright, Kiddo. You will..." My tone bled dry as I held him to my chest. The anger to shred the rogues intensified. I lifted my eyes only to see flesh, bones and blood on the spot they were lying not long ago. And amidst the mess was Rogue covered in blood, his claws dangling with pieces of flesh. I was glad he did it because I would have taken them to my dungeons in NYC to torture them. I would have... Fuck, I couldn't dwell on what I would have done to them as Zade fainted in my arms. "H-he fainted!" I blinked my teary lashes. "I'll get the car out." Conor announced and we followed him outside the room. The teachers and Principal covered their mouths with their hands when I walked into sight. I didn't wait for them to take a glance at Zade and rushed
123. Meeting Zade as his father Jade's POV I was lifted off my feet as he put his greedy lips on mine. I erupted into a gasp of protest, but it rippled in his mouth before dying a welcome death. I wish I could deny that I didn't want this kiss. This was all that I used to cherish when my sexual life was concerned back then. I used to revel in his touch and bloom like a fresh flower after each lovemaking session. But that was what I had five years ago. After I left his pack, I never indulged in any relationship. And though Audrey stole kisses from me, it didn't make me feel as dizzy as this. Only Zach Salvay could do this to me. Only his lips could do this to me. My lips softened and parted, allowing an easy access to his tongue into my mouth. With every lick, every swirl, every slurp, my heart skipped beating. Liquid heat settled between my legs and my core tightened like it has never before in these five years. Zach entered a hand in my shirt and squeezed my waist. I win
