‘Alpha Jayce.’ the mindlink came through.
‘Not now David.’
‘It has to be now. It’s urgent.’
He grunted and thought about ignoring the call for a few minutes but when he looked at her, her eyes were still distant and she was so beautiful and perfect that he would never be able to forgive himself if he rushed their first time together. “You too?”
“Me too… We could just.” Her voice was still filled with a thick passion.
“I want to take my time with you, you’re not just some random she-wolf I’m fucking for the fun of it.”
“You’ve been with others?” The passion was gone fr
Jordyn woke up, almost blinded by the halogenic lights they use in the hospital. Machines were beeping close by her, which just confirmed where she was. Jayce’s hand covered hers. “What happened?” Her voice was weak and barely sounded like her.“I think we met Vivian.” Jillian answered as she walked into view.“What?” She questioned, glancing between Jayce and Jillian. Jayce nodded his answer. “Where’s Myra? I don’t have time to be stuck here.”“I’m right here.” Myra answered as she quietly shut the room door. She was wearing a white lab coat and dark blue scrubs underneath. “Alpha, now that you are awake we have no reason to keep you, we will release you, but we still have no clue as to why you even passed out in the first pla
She glanced around the room but when she couldn’t see Jayce anywhere, she headed up to the office, to her office. She wasn’t surprised to see that all the council members were there. Myra and Marilyn Wood both stood there. Will and Ethan followed her into the room.“My dear, they need to leave.” Jason stated, his ashy-brown hair almost covering his eyebrows completely.“No!” Jordyn raised her voice causing everyone in the room to flinch. “They are family, just like everyone else in this room.”‘Jordyn, I’m scared.’ Vivian’s voice echoed in her head.‘Everything will be alright, I’m sure.’ Silver comforted her.“What is wrong with m
“They are called hunters, sent by Hades himself.” Everyone turned their heads quickly to look at Jordyn as she spoke. “Who was jealous because he can’t reproduce the way we do, he just gets to make more vampires and hellish demons like cerberus. Isn’t that right grandfather?” Her words even felt venomous.“They didn’t want the pack, they weren’t just rogues that happened to kill my parents, they were after me, my mother, and my brother, we were the only ones they were after.”“Yes, being the god of the underworld, he doesn’t have to listen to the rest of them. He gave a few ruthless wolves a second chance so that they would track down and kill anything that even smelled a little like a god.”“So, wait, if I am a descendant of a god too why don’t I have a second voice?
Realizing that he and Marilyn were the only two left in the room he gave her a kind smile and held out his arm for her. “Ma’am, would you like an escort back down to the celebration?”She smiled back as she took his arm. “You’ll make a great mate.” He smiled as he led her out of the room and downstairs, back to the loud music and chattering in the hall. He excused himself from Marilyn as he caught Jordyn’s eyes as she was talking to Jade, both of them staring daggers at Leon as he left.“Jade, do you mind if I steal a dance from my mate?” Jayce asked as he held his hand out to Jordyn.“Go for it.” Jade answered as she sipped from what looked like a glass of champagne.Jordyn looked into Jayce’s eyes
“Am I being overdramatic?” Jordyn broke the silence first as she pulled her leggings and sports bra on, hoping they would be left alone, but not willing to bet on it.“Hell no, she deserved it.” Jillian answered.“I honestly don’t know what I would do if I saw another woman kiss Will.” Myra agreed as she reached for Jordyn’s hands, healing the knuckles that Jordyn didn’t even realize were bruised until then. “I don’t think I’d be able to hit as hard as you did, but I’d try.”Jordyn smiled with the bottle pressed against her lips before taking a big drink. “I’m not sure what happened but Viv and Silver were fighting for control and I almost lost it.”‘She&rsqu
“Kiss me.” She interrupted, not bothering to get out of the hold he had on her.He didn’t hesitate to take her lips in a kiss that was filled with all the passion and love that he had ever felt in his life. He knew that no other woman would ever be able to make him feel that way with just a kiss. He pulled away. “Jordyn, I love you.”Her breath hitched in her throat, she hadn’t heard that from anyone since her parents died. “Jayce, I love you.” She said, pulling her arms out of his grasp and covering herself with her arms. “But how do we know it’s not just because we are mates?”“Jordyn, have you seen yourself?” he asked, his eyes filled with sincerity as he spoke. “You are gorgeous, you’re strong, you’re kind and loving,
Jordyn smiled as she woke up to a strong smell of pine. She tried to roll over to face him but she couldn’t move. She wiggled her wrists only to feel the silver sting her. Opening her eyes she could see that she was in some sort of basement, maybe a dungeon. She glanced around the room, starting to panic. ‘Jayce, Myra, somebody.’ She tried to mindlink them.“I wouldn’t bother, they can’t hear you.” The calm deep voice came from the shadows.“Who are you?” The voice that came out was not hers but Vivian’s.“I’m none of your concern, yet. Leon sent me.”“Why would Leon send you?” She was trying not to let her voice shake.“Well, I wo
Walking into his brother’s hospital room only made the feeling worse. Josh was smiling at him but all Jayce could smell was death, mixed with Josh’s usual cedar wood smell. The smell was enough to make Jayce’s stomach turn. He hid his sudden disgust quickly and returned the smile, trying to ignore the putrid smell. “How are you feeling Josh?”“I’m feeling better.” His voice was weak,out of breath, and being a wolf and his brother Jayce knew he was lying.‘What’s wrong?’ Jayce mind-linked him.‘Something feels off to me. Everything feels and looks hazy. I feel sick to my stomach and my head is killing me. I have to pee and I’m not even sure if I can stand on my own yet, they took the catheter out an hour ago.’
