Jayden's POV."You did this calculation wrongly," I complained, glancing through the paper."I did my best, must you complain about everything?" Ryker frowned at me."I have no choice but to complain if it is going to affect the finances of the pack," I shot back."I have been doing my best for the past few days while you've been fucking!" He fired."Can you stop being vile?"He hissed, "No, I can't.""I have been here working back to back while you've been going on dates, dinners with your mate. I have no time for myself anymore!" He let out a fake cry."You're pathetic," I shook my head. "Do you know what, Jayden? I want you to increase my salary!" He demanded."What? Why would I do that? Didn't I just increase it last month? What is wrong with you?"He scoffed, "The increment isn't even enough to buy a fridge. I need an increment that can sponsor a vacation. I also need time off!""Alright, you can have some time off. But that will happen after the leader's conference," I replied
Logan's POV.A few days later."I can't believe that the Leaders' conference is tomorrow," Lisa laughed, stepping out of the bathroom."Me neither," I replied with a smile.I had been waiting for this Leaders' conference for so long. I had never felt so desperate in a long time.I just wanted to see Tonia. I wondered how she looked now. I hoped that bastard wasn't using her for his games."You seem unusually happy these days," Lisa commented, making my smile disappear."Is that so?" I straightened my face."Yes, you have been smiling more than before. Your appetite has also improved," She squinted at me. "Is there something that I need to know, Logan?"She was becoming more unbearable everyday. "Why are you asking me that?" I demanded. "You should be glad that I'm back to normal." "I am happy, but I want to know the reason. That isn't too much to ask," She muttered, sauntering over to me.I wished she would stop monitoring everything about me. It was so annoying to be under her scr
Logan's POV.I had never felt this angry in a long time. I had the dying urge to smash his face right now. However, there was no point in doing any of that. I just had to wait for tonight to carry out my plans, and that would include ending his fucking life if he got in my way. "Good morning, King Jayden," I said with a sarcastic smile.He gave me this look that sent chills down my spine.I would have been so afraid in the past, but I refused to allow fear to keep me from getting the woman that I loved."Why are you looking at me like that? Are you still angry about what happened that evening? I never knew that you were someone to hold grudges," I taunted him."Here's your passkey, sir," The hotel receptionist interrupted.He collected the key from her and smiled, "Thank you.""Thank you," Tonia said with her usual sweet voice.That voice used to only sound that way for me. She was always the sweetest to me."Let's go, my queen," Jayden kissed her cheek and started walking away with
Logan's POV."What?""Why do you look shocked? Do you think that I would allow you to be happy with her?" She shouted.There was so much hatred in her voice and even her scent was starting to smell foul.It would really be difficult to have them live together when I take Tonia from Jayden. "Lisa, you don't have to get rid of anyone. Did you not see Tonia with Jayden?" I asked, trying to deceive her.Things seemed more complicated than expected, but I wouldn't think of any of it until I got Tonia to myself.When she's with me, I would think of how to handle Lisa, my family and the pack."Tonia and I are divorced and over. She has even moved on with King Jayden..." I said, hiding the bitterness I felt about that."We are living in two different worlds, and I do not care for her anymore. I only love you. You are my mate and the mother of my child, how can you think that she's more important than you?"I initially thought I had the world at my feet when I found out Lisa was my mate. I th
Tonia's POV.I was in the bathroom with a towel tied around my chest. However, I should be out there getting ready with Jayden.I knew that I shouldn't feel shy after everything we had done together, but I couldn't bring myself to coming out with a towel around my chest.What if we both lose control again and end up doing something?We already lost control last week and have done a few foreplay since then. But I didn't want him to go late to the conference or miss it because of me."What will I do now?" I thought, pursing my lips.I looked around the bathroom and my eyes fell on the bathrobe. However, it wasn't an option because Jayden had used it.I couldn't smell things as good as normal werewolves, but my sense of smell has improved a bit."Antonia," Jayden knocked and I flinched. "Are you alright in there?" He asked, still knocking the door. "I am fine, I just need...a few minutes," I stammered. "Okay," He said and stepped away from the door. "I can't remain here forever, and
Tonia's POV.I was done in restroom and wanted to leave, but then I walked to the mirror. I looked beautiful and confident, but it wasn't so easy to get rid of self-esteem issues."How do they see me beside him?" I asked myself.Jayden was a handsome, respected and elegant king. He was this awesome person in people's eyes including mine.But I was so different from him. I had no background or anything to boast of."I knew it was wrong to have these thoughts, but I couldn't help it.He might make me feel like everything to him, but people would still see me as nothing..."I sighed sadly. "Luna Tonia."I got startled by the sudden knock and looked at the door."Who is that?" I asked, wondering why a male would be around a female's restroom."It's Nath, his majesty's bodyguard," Nath declared, making me relieved."Oh, Nath," I laughed a little. "Were you the one following me earlier?""Yes, I was," He replied. "I wanted to confirm if you are alright in there before leaving. I have been a
Tonia's POV."Logan, stop it!" I yelled, using all my strength to try pushing him away from me.He was rubbing his sharp fangs on my neck. I didn't understand what he was trying to do."Logan, get off me!" I yelled loudly, but he refused to leave me.He pressed his body even more against me, then started sucking on the side of my neck. He was twirling his tongue around it.I was so disgusted. It felt like billions of ants were crawling around my body and stinging me."Someone help!" I screamed, but no one came to help me. The main conference must have started, so everyone must be in the hall. There was no one coming to save me.Jayden might think that Nath was guarding me, so he wouldn't be too worried about me.I was all alone in this, and I was scared. I was scared of getting harassed or hurt by this bastard. I couldn't let him break me and ruin my life again.I had to find a way to defend myself. My hands weren't strong enough to push away, but my leg was kind of free.I didn't wa
Tonia's POV.I thought that my life had always been kind of sad and miserable. However, I never knew real misery and pain until I watched two bullets fly into the body of the one who had made me the happiest."Jayden!" I screamed in horror.The two bullets went into him at once. Everything happened so fast.I sprang up from the chair and held him as he staggered."Jayden," I cried out. "Jayden, please...""I'm okay," He looked at me and gave me this smile that sent daggers through my heart.The smile lasted for a few second before he suddenly disappeared from my arms.He used this speed that I couldn't even phantom. I had never seen anyone move that fast before.He rushed to Logan and hit the gun from his hand. There was a shocked look on Logan's face, he wasn't expecting such a fast retaliation."You are never getting my mate, you little bitch!" He growled and slammed Logan so hard against the wall that it cracked."Jayden..." I gasped.How was he doing all that with two silver bulle
Tonia's POV.It had been days since Jayden and I reconciled. I had never been happy like I have become these days.I had been so happy that I had forgotten how sadness felt. It was a good and scary feeling."What the heck are you thinking about?" Ryker snapped his fingers in my face."Jayden spaces out while we are working and now you are doing the same. What is wrong with you lovebirds?" He spat."I wasn't thinking about Jayden," I lied, glaring at him.He scoffed, "Yeah, like I will believe your poor lie.""I want to spar with you and get the hell out of here. You better stop spacing out!""Fine! I will stop. Now, please don't whine like a bee anymore," I glared at him, giving him a pouty face."Did you go to school or did you skip language classes. Bees do not whine, they buzz and sting. I would have have stung you to death by now if I was one."I gasped, looking at him disbelief."Let's start again and this time with more focus," He folded his fists.We started sparring again, and
Logan's POV."Alpha, I never tried to break his majesty or Tonia apart. I don't know where you got that from, but please do not involve me in any of this," He said, shaking his head.He was playing hard to get. Who did he think he was?"Christian, you should think twice before you reply again. I know that you have a crush on Tonia and was quite heartbroken to see that she was with someone else. Then, you tried starting this relationship with her under the pretense of friendship," I muttered, seeing through him."However, Jayden had to show up and ruin everything. Now, you don't even have a friendship with her," I smirked mockingly.He looked red when I finished my sentence. It was obvious that I had struck a nerve."Christian, you were trying to break them up without getting anything in return. Why don't you do it to get a beautiful mansion or a position in my pack?" I asked, enticing him."I will provide whatever you want. Do you want the latest cars, clothes, shoes?" I asked.He loo
Logan's POV.Days later. I had been waiting for days, but Walter hadn't brought any good news to me. He hadn't gotten a hold of the guy yet, and I was still stuck in the hospital because of the 'problem' ranting beside me."When are you going to come home?" Lisa asked. "The doctor said that you have recovered very well and you can return to the pack. Why have you decided to stay here," She ranted.I finally looked at her and my gaze wasn't pretty at all.I was tired of her nonsense. She was already far gone in the pregnancy, so it wasn't like she could get rid of it.She would have no other choice but to bear my child, there was no need to act nice."Lisa, I built this hospital with my money. Therefore, I am going to stay here as long as I like," I spat."What about me?" She cried out. "You have not come to a single doctor's appointment with me, and it feels like I am the only one having this baby. I am so sick and tired of being treated like this!" Lisa cried out.I didn't want to
Tonia's POV.It was already evening, but I was still feeling so bad about what I said to Jayden.I didn't mean anything that I said to him. I just wanted to say something to hurt him because he had hurt me with his words.I was vindictive and I regretted it so much. I should have just ignored him and continued walking.I was sure that he did not mean what he said to me either. He was just so upset.I did not want go for dinner. I felt very ashamed of my behavior. I lashed out like a child."I was so stupid," I lamented.I dug my fingers into my hair and buried my face in the sheets. I should do the mature thing and apologize, but I didn't know why I felt too ashamed or proud to do it."He did not deserve to be called pathetic. He has been the nicest person to me, why did I call him that out of every other that I could have chosen," I scolded myself.The more that I thought about it the more ashamed I felt."Antonia," I heard Jayden's voice and my body froze on the bed."Are you not c
Logan's POV.I stood in front of the mirror, looking at my neck.That bastard called Jayden had scarred me for life. I was even lucky that he wasn't able to claw my throat out of my neck.The doctors said that I was very lucky to have come out of that. However, I wasn't too lucky with my voice.My voice had slightly changed and I sounded like a joke now."Fuck him!" I sneered.I pounded my fist into the mirror and it shattered. My knuckles started bleeding, but I did not care at all.I was very mad that he was able to put me in the hospital with two bullets inside him.I heard that he survived those bullets and even put the man I sent into his captivity.Jayden was a complete menace.I should have been more careful and intentional with him. I should have put up to ten bullets in him.I should have shot his head instead of his stomach. He might have been declared brain dead instead of being in a coma for a while."He broke almost every part of my body. I lost Tonia because of him and a
Jayden's POV."What did you just say?" I growled."Your Majesty, I did not mean to offend you," He started acting again. He meant what he said. "There are just something things that you might find strange and I don't want to offend you," He replied with a coy smirk.I didn't know what he was playing at, but he should stop messing with me. I believed that the rumors about me being nice had gotten into his head.I could be nice to everyone, but I wasn't going to play with my mate. She meant everything to me and no one was going to use her to stroke their ego.I could never let that happen."You can say what you want in front of me. She is my mate, and it is not awkward to know that she had previous relationships. She was a person with a life before she met me," I clarified."Your Majesty, I thought that you would be uptight, but I was so wrong," He said sarcastically. "I am glad that Tonia has someone like you in her life.""Guys, I'm still here," Antonia suddenly spoke."We are so s
Jayden's POV.Was this guy out of his mind?I told him that she was my mate, and he still had the guts to send this kind of message?? It seemed like I was too lenient on him. I should have shown him the consequences of touching my woman.The audacity of this guy was something else."What are you doing with my phone?" Antonia stepped out of the bathroom.I did not even notice her because I was too distracted by my anger."Did someone message me?" Antonia asked, coming to sit beside me."No, I just wanted to play a few games. I felt a little bored and I don't really have nice games on my phone," I lied, deleting the fool's message.I shouldn't lie to Antonia like this, but I didn't want her to start thinking the worst of me."Antonia, it seems like you and this Christian guy were never that close. So, why are you suddenly indulging him?" I questioned worriedly."I am just trying to get close to him because of the other warriors. I know they were nice to me, but it must have been becaus
Jayden's POV.I walked into the inner part of the training center and the first thing that greeted my eyes was my mate in the arms of another man.Wait...What??Why was someone else holding her? Who was he? And what the fuck did he want from her?The mate bond between us had been sealed and though she lacked a wolf, it did not reduce that fact. I was smelling her scent more intoxicatingly, and I was certainly pissed to see her with someone else.Draven was just as mad.I released a low growl and walked over to them. I grabbed her arm and pulled her away from his hold."How dare you touch her like that? Have you no respect at all for my mate?!" I raised my voice.She was his future Luna. He should be greeting her by bowing, not by hugging her. What was running through his little head?"Your Majesty, I'm very sorry," He quickly bowed his head, apologizing."Jayden, it's not like that. Christian used to be my classmate, but I never knew that he was a Lycan because we were still in high-
Tonia's POV.I knew that the mate bond had a lot of complications, but I never thought of it this way.This meant that I couldn't choose to suddenly leave Jayden because it would affect both of us. I couldn't get hurt either because he might also feel the pain.Was that how it was for Lycans? The mate bond did not hold so many issues when it came to werewolves."Antonia, I am not trying to scare you. I just want you to know what you have gotten into," He said, having the best intentions as always."Thank you for making everything much clearer to me, there are a lot things about Lycans that I don't know yet." "You are welcome," He exhaled. I suddenly realized that Jayden must be scared of me leaving again. I must have really hurt him by what I did. "I will keep everything that you have said in mind. I will never hurt or reject you, Jayden," I reassured him."Jayden, I will never leave you," I promised."Okay, I trust you," He replied and replaced his serious expression with a smile.
