Tonia's POV.I gasped at his words, he said them with such authority that I was tempted to say yes.I didn't want to see them anymore but I didn't want to cause more drama either."No, I don't want that. I just want them away from me." I responded and I could feel my heart beating fast. "You heard her," King Jayden turned his gaze to them.He lowered his gaze again and laid another kiss on my hand. My cheeks reddened as his lips nibbled on my skin. The fact that he was doing this in front of everyone made me so...so..."King Jayden, you shouldn't get handsy with someone else's wife!" Logan snapped, his voice laced with jealousy.I glanced at him and felt even more irked. How dare he try to act like he had any right to make demands?"You're one to talk, Logan," King Jayden chuckled mockingly.A furrow appeared between Logan's brows. He was pissed that King Jayden kept calling him by his name and disrespecting him over and over while he had to endure it all."I'm only saying the truth.
Tonia's POV.Did he just ask me to call him my mate? What did he mean by that?"King Jayden—""Jayden," He corrected with a soft smile."I don't understand what you mean, but why would I call you my mate?""Because we're both fated by the Moon Goddess to be together forever," He responded."What? I believe you're getting things confused , we can't be mates," I argued."Why? Is it because I'm a king and you think that you don't deserve me?" He quizzed. Well, that was true. Why would I, a weak omega, be mated to such a powerful and highly respected King? He wasn't just any king but a Lycan King."It just makes no sense. I don't have a wolf!" I revealed.He let go of my chin and lowered his hand to my chest before responding, "I know, and that's why you can't sense the mate bond between us. But deep inside, Antonia, you know that we have a connection."He said each word while looking straight into my eyes and I was starting to believe that he was right.There was an undeniable connectio
Logan's POV.I looked around and couldn't see Tonia anywhere. Where had she gone? I saw her running out earlier? Had she gone home? I hope she wasn't with King Jayden anymore. Why did he even gain such sudden interest in her and go as far as touching her that way?He should count himself lucky that he was a powerful King, if not, I would have taught him a lesson he would never forget.I wondered how he had lasted so long in that position with such an insulting attitude. I would not be the only one to ruin him once he falls."Tonia is more despicable than I thought!" Lisa suddenly spat.She had pure hate in her voice and I didn't blame her. She was my mate and deserved to be treated well, but the circumstances surrounding us weren't good at all."Lisa, you shouldn't get agitated, especially because of the baby," I whispered and held her hand.She yanked her hand away from mine and snapped, "I shouldn't be sitting here among these people. I should be with other reputable Lunas, but ins
Tonia's POV I hoped he couldn't hear how loud my heart was beating right now. Sitting so close to Jayden wasn't easy, and Olivia made matters worse by not even accompanying us. She was a darling for helping me pack my things from that cheater's house but I wished she had come along with us. "Do you always behave this way when you're nervous?" His majectic voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I glanced at him, and he had this amused expression. I shook my head. "What? I don't understand." "You keep playing with your fingers and biting your lip sometimes," He noticed. I immediately released my bottom lip and separated my hands."I'm sorry," I quickly apologized. "You do not have to be sorry for being nervous, you should just know that I do not entertain bullying in my kingdom or around me.""I'm not going to let anyone harm you or speak badly to you." He spoke with such authority, I almost believed him. "You might be the king but you can't control everyone's actions," I blurte
Tonia's POV.Logan wouldn't come for me. He was obviously carried away by Lisa, why would he want me back? But the maid just mentioned that the Alpha wanted something that Jayden took for him. "I took what belonged to him?" Jayden asked with a confused look on his face. "Yes, he kept repeating that and keeps calling what you took his love or wife..." My heart started beating faster as my fear seemed to be confirmed. It was Logan. Logan was here for me, but I was certain that Jayden wouldn't let him take me. This could get bloody. "Jayden," I breathed heavily. He didn't respond but held my waist firmly and effortlessly lifted me onto the piano. The instrument made off-tune melodies as my body pressed against the cold keys. "Stay here, okay?" He held up my chin and instructed. Then he turned to the maid and said, "Let him in." My heart almost stopped at his instruction. Why would he let Logan in? "Jayden, no—" "Stay here," He repeated and walked away before I could stop him
Tonia's POV."What!" I exclaimed in shock. I clenched the sheets beneath me as beads of sweat formed on my skin. This was worse than I thought. "What will I do now?" I asked, my voice trembling. "Luna, please don't mind what she's saying," The second maid chimed in. "What?" I became confused. "King Jayden is not wicked person and you don't have to run away from him. She's just trying to scare you because she can't accept that he has you now," The maid explained. I was still confused. "Tina had a crush on his majesty and she is not happy that you are here. She has been convinced for a long time that the king would never find a mate since he had nearly passed his mating stage," She explained further, shocking me.I glanced at Tina, and she lowered her gaze. "She's just trying to scare you. I know the king might seem harsh at times but he always has a good reason and he's also nice to us all. He doesn't harass us like other Pack leaders do, he's very respectful and fair," The se
Tonia's POV."Jayden," I called with a concerned tone. "Jayden," I repeated and shifted a bit. He stopped kissing my neck and our eyes locked. "Yes, my Queen?" I didn't know what happened at that moment but whatever I wanted to say vanished and I quickly looked away. The way in which he called me his queen sounded so wonderful, but I knew I shouldn't be enjoying it. I turned my gaze to the spot where I saw Alpha Keith, but he was gone. What? Was I imagining things? "Antonia, is there a problem?" He asked softly. I lied, "No, there isn't." I wasn't sure if he was there from the beginning, so there was no need to worry Jayden. "Are you sure?" Jayden whispered. I could feel his warm breath closely. "Yes, I am," I replied nervously. "Okay. I guess that we should start heading to the stables," He said. "Hold on tight, we're going to go faster than before. "What?" I gasped. "Just trust me," He beamed before urging the horse forward at full speed. "Woah!" I screamed when the
Tonia's POV. What was Alpha Keith talking about? Was he out of his mind? "Luna, please don't step out of the car no matter what," One of the guards instructed. My heart pounded even more violently at his words. How could he expect me to stay here? "Where are both of you going?" I panicked. "We have to get rid of them. His Majesty gave us a duty to take care of you, and you must not get hurt, even if it costs our lives," The guard driving, said and unbuckled his seatbelt. "No, you can't do that. Can't we try to drive backward—" "There's another car behind us," He cut me off. I took a good look around and realized that we were really surrounded. How were they going to fight so many werewolves? They were outnumbered. I shook, "I want to help you.""You can help us by staying in the car and coming out under no circumstances." They both immediately exited the car before I could even argue. What did I even want to argue about? I had no fighting skills and could hardly defend m
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.
