Jayden's POV“I think you need to see this Jayden”, Eric called.I strolled to where he was standing still with the book he had been with. I didn't know Eric had it in him to read.He had the power to read minds and pick brains so he never bothered to read. He always knew the questions before the exams, and we kept a clean history of As.“What’s that?” I asked when I reached him.He held out the book for me to see.“Witches!” The words were bolded and italicised. I took the book from him reading swiftly through the content.When I was done, my head was swimming with the newly acquired knowledge. Had I finally found who Jovita was? Gibson called her his kind, though a halfbreed. I had been so focused on saving Jovita the last time we were here that I forgot to ask Gibson what he was, though I was certain he wasn't a werewolf nor a cold one, and according to this book, he was a witch.I didn't know creatures like that existed in our world. The similarities all came running back. The f

I felt my eyes watering as I ran past the trees, the wind blowing in my face. I couldn't remember the last time I was so angry, Jovita seemed to bring out the worst version of me.How could she say it so casually? Did she think so little me?I thought we were going somewhere with our relationship but I guess I was wrong. Relationship? Did I just say relationship? What the heck was wrong with me? She was my mate did not mean I must love her, I always had the option of rejecting her if I wanted to.Why was I so pissed? Was I jealous? This whole thing was foreign to me, this whole thing with the emotions, and all. I hated how vulnerable it made me feel. I hated the idea of her being with someone else. How couldn't she see that?We've kissed, we've touched, we've cuddled, and I could feel the passion radiating from our contact, I could see how easily her body responded to my touch, I could still remember her moaning my name, and suddenly she was talking about going to her childhood ex, a

Jayden’s POVI looked Jovita in the eyes, and I could tell she was waiting for me to speak. The words hurt so deeply but I had to say them.Yes, she was my mate, but it wasn't in my place to restrict her from doing things she wanted, just because I was insecure.Uriel was once her best friend after all, and she deserved a chance to hear him out.I could see she had prepared a long speech for me to explain the reason she wanted to give him a chance, but I didn't need that, since I already read her memories. Yeah, perks of being a great Alpha.Though she was my mate, I wasn't her Alpha, at least not yet, so she still had every right to do the things she wanted.As much as I didn't want her hanging out with any guy but me, I wanted her to feel comfortable around me when it came to sharing problems and all, and I kinda maybe cared for her too much to see her hurt over Uriel.“Jayden?” She prompted, batting her long eyelashes. I loved it as hell when she did that.“I'm sorry about what I s

Jayden's POVI sat at the sturdy bench, ready to lift some weights. Eric stood by my side, lifting a set of dumbbells. The atmosphere was a bit freer today since it was the weekend, and not many people patronized gyms in Foxtown.The gym was well-equipped with various machines and equipment. There were rows of treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals lining one side of the room. On the other side, racks of weights and benches were neatly stacked.Phil stood behind me to help me with the lift, joking about how easily Eric was lifting the 100kg dumbbell.I couldn't help laughing along with him. The brothers and I had grown quite close, except for Seth, who avoided any conversations except when necessary, but he was nice and I didn't care that much.Phil was talking about the party last night, but I was barely listening. My mind was on Jovita.There was something about her that seemed to calm me down. Last night, I had expected it, I had waited for the nightmares that always came, but when I o

Jovita's POVI took in a gulp, stepping back. Was I about to die? I had asked that question so often in such a short time.In a blink of an eye, the vampire was on me, his eyes turning a strange shade of red.“Your blood makes me so thirsty”.Right now, I am desperate for the powers Jayden and the woman who claimed to be my mother had spoken about. I willed it manifest so I could save myself but nothing happened.I flickered my eyes close anticipating the pain, and hoping it would be quick. I had heard many stories about cold ones and their victims and how the tortured their victims before killing them. A tear slipped down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away. I should at least not die looking piteous.The intruder locked his gaze with mine, his eyes bloodshot red. I braced myself for the pain of waiting, but I felt nothing.When I opened my eyes, I saw a shocked expression on the intruder's face. I looked around but I could see no one but in the hallway.His expression went from sho
