It was late in the evening when a message popped up on Jade's screen.Lazily, she yawned stretching herself. She's been lying on the couch all morning and for a greater part of the afternoon. Ever since the battle with the nematodes, two months ago, there have been no serious work to do.So, she spend most of her days getting tanned undet the heat of the sun at the beach or going fishing with Bolt, one of the werecoyote triplets.Who's that? she queried in her head, pushing the phone which was lying carelessly on the couch upwards with a foot, then picked it up.Rubbing her eyes, she glanced absentmindedly with eyes half closed."Hello ma'am, this is the Freewill courier agent, we have been ordered to deliver a package to your doorstep at this home address(Bladefist Avenue). Kindly come out to claim it"She threw her eyes wide open and read again.A package? How possible? She isn't expecting one and neither have she been promised one, so who could it be?The address was right, but i

Jade's POVI still can't believe that I have just being marked by my number one enemy Asher, whom I hated so much and had treated badly in the past.If anything, I was undeserving to be his mate because of my attitude towards him before now.I had fought and rejected him twice, spat in his face and humiliated him before his subordinates as the beta of the Creek Pack.If anyone had approached me yesterday that I will be Asher's mate by this time today, I'd have had such person burnt and their ashes blown away.But here I am, beneath him, looking right into his eyes, and thinking crazy stuffs!The look on his face was that of triumph, satisfaction and accomplishment, I didn't miss that.Presently, our breathe synced as we inhaled and exhaled deeply.He moved his finger up my forehead and caressed it, trying to wipe the sweat off my brows.I felt strand of hairs sticking to my wet sweaty face, as if he felt it too, he moved his finger there and pushed them back, then slowly, he lowered h

The next morning, having concluded the arrangement to set out on my journey, I left for my father's room first.Just like always, he was standing there, facing the window, quietly looking out, holding his hands behind him. He looked so deep in thought.I am pretty sure he is worried, not for himself but for us. And ever since our last deep discussion, I have come to understand that, the almighty hard hearted former alpha who is my dad, is a complete softy.Behind the strong mind and toughness, is the intense care and affection he has for us. I have come to realize just how much pain he must have endured all these years.I feel for him.As I opened the door and stepped in, he was jolted back to reality at the sound of the creaking door.He looked back and a deep grinned appeared, replacing the sullen looking face at the sight of me. But I could still notice the agony behind it."Good morning father" I greeted as I approached him."Morning son" he replied moving away from the window and

Bella's POVAs I sat there satisfied and thinking of what next to do, I heard the door creak open.Startled, I looked back to see Alec standing there, his hand still holding the door knob and staring at me.I flinched under his cold hard stare.What now!? I asked in my head, confused that the one who had instructed the maid to give me preferential treatment is now gazing at me in that manner.I got on my feet at once. Cold shiver ran down my spine. I swallowed hard and began to develope cold hands and feet. Suddenly, I felt nervous.I opened my mouth to speak but couldn't find my voice."Hey little bee" he uttered finally and shut the door."You are back.." I responded timidly, hoping the maid had not mistaken his instructions."Master" I added, not forgetting the fact that our deal still stands.This only earned me a low scoff.Not sure of what to do, I simply stood there watching as he approached the bed post and began to unstrap his wristwatch then gently placed it on the table rig
