He mentioned some important names and Polly almost regretted it. She barely remembered a handful. His father’s name is Wade and his younger brother is called James. Jared has plenty to say about his father but didn’t say much about his brother. There were elders. He informed her what they’re usually on about, the things that matter to them, which don’t usually align with his.She would admit she wasn’t expecting this exchange. They actually covered a lot in just a few hours. She’s glad and it eased some of her worries. From their conversation, she got a vague idea of what he’s like as a person and the things he considers as significant. He’s all about strength and power. To her, it seemed to be imbalanced. He neglects other aspects of the pack in favor of a few. Training, security and protection. It’s as if he barely remembers to cover the basic needs.“Can I say something?”Jared stared at her, &

What’s the plan? There’s no plan. She has to come up with one. And before she could do so, it’s better to consider the culture and environment they have in Blood Moon Pack. The name was quite horrifying.“Why is it called Blood Moon?” She asked him as they journeyed towards his territory. They finally left Snow Mountain and she’s feeling nostalgic. She’s already missing the place.They were with a few other people, which Alpha Wade left with Jared to monitor him. They already sent reports to their alpha regarding Jared’s earlier actions. They made sure to also report how he didn’t cause any trouble in recent weeks.“Apparently, it has a bloody history. In the old times, the pack has been targeted many times and many people died. The land was dyed red with blood. The pack nearly died out but they still managed to survive. It was said that the moon was dyed red when they finally won against the enemies. They called the pack Blood Moon since then.” Jared explained in a monotone. She foun

Polly slept for hours and it was already dark outside when she was startled awake by a scream and smashing of things. She scrambled off the bed, hiding in a corner beside it. Her heart thudded against her chest as she tried to make sense of what’s happening. It took her a while to remember she’s in Jared’s room, in Blood Moon. And it was Jared thrashing the room, yelling every few minutes. She winced every time something gets broken. She was terrified, afraid of him, fearing for her life. She didn’t dare make a sound, biting her lip to keep herself quiet.Seeing his eyes, they kept her frozen in place. Her senses were screaming danger, making her horrified. Her instincts told her to stay put, though. Who knows if he would target her if he sees her move? His eyes looked crazy enough and it was as if he would attack anything that he laid his eyes on.His actions were so violent, she let out a whimper after a while. She felt her heart drop when he turned to face her. She only held his ga

He didn’t give her any instruction or guidance on what to do. He just said that she can do whatever she wanted, and what she wanted was to train. It wasn’t easy. On her first week, she witnessed people’s dislike towards Jared. They were also hostile towards her. She hasn’t done anything yet she’s being treated like a bad person. The Alpha only gave her his word that she won’t be harmed and Jared hasn’t been violent, so that was that. The older man wasn’t planning on overstepping into the couple’s relationship. He’s not about to tell Jared how to treat his mate. His son would only get mad if he tried. It’s best not to provoke him. When she tried to join those who were training, she was mocked and judged for being a petite young woman. They made their point by giving her a few simple tests. For her, it was moot point. The tests were for strength, which she clearly doesn’t have. She tried arguing her point, but they all laughed at her. “Is everything about strength? How about technique

But Jared wasn’t exactly evil. Her cries registered in his head and he knew he couldn’t forcefully mate with her. He has respect for her, his mate. But the situation still made him mad. He’s so angry! Why can’t she just accept him? Why must she insist on leaving? He stopped and just laid there with her as he thought what to do. He liked the feel of her body and she shivered as he slowly caressed her sides. He groaned at how difficult it was to stop, to take control of his desire. Her scent . . . this close . . . it was madness! He tightly closed his eyes and took deep breaths. He would love to mark her, if he hadn’t already.She continued to cry until she noticed the lack of movement. Then, she resumed struggling against him. He’s still squashing her with his weight.“Don’t move.” His tone was commanding and though she’s very much rattled, her instinct told her to heed his words.He couldn’t refut
