Jayden's POVI stood by the hallway with the White Brothers. We were talking about the clue we discovered that could lead us to Uriel’s hideout.Many girls gave me flashy smiles as they passed my group, but I ignored them. My mind was Jovita. I had been thinking about her all day.Seth threw me another angry glance, and I ignored it. He was pissed.He had picked up my thoughts about Jovita, and he was not pleased with it, but I didn't care.I got to know from Eric that he was into Jovita, ignoring his fated mate. Knowing Jovita wasn't his mate put me at ease, at least I only had a few options to sieve through, but it hadn't answered the question of whether or not she was my mate.I was anxiously waiting for that answer as today was a full moon, a time when werewolves wolfed out, and met their mates.If Jovita and I were mates, we were bound to meet today, even if she hadn't wolfed out yet.A part of me was strongly convinced she was my mate due to the strong attraction I felt towards
Jovita's POVI stared at the huge, white, beast in front of me, terrified. If I had looked away for a second, I would have sworn with the last fur on my body, though I was yet to have a single fur talk more of a last fur, that the beautiful, large, white, angry beast in front of me was Jayden.He stared past me, his eyes focused on his mortal enemy, Uriel. Uriel stared back his amber eyes glowing in the dark, his posture motionless and ice-cold. He looked unreal.I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that my childhood best friend was here in Foxtown. I had lived in California for a while before my family relocated to Foxtown. Uriel and I had attended the same preschool and bonded over the years until I left California. The last time I saw him was 14 years ago.What was he doing here in Foxtown, and what was he doing here in the woods at this hour? From the last I could remember, he was a human. He had grown into a very attractive young man, and standing there in the shadow of
Jovita's POV“I couldn't catch up with him, he took off to the water again”. He must know that I'm way faster than other werewolves, and not ready to risk a chance”, I said to Eric, a bit frustrated. I had lost Uriel yet again.Eric turned to stare at me.“You mean he was there the whole time?” He asked.“Yes”, I replied. This was the third time Eric had asked this question, and at this point, I was on the verge of screaming… though I think shouting would better describe my emotions.He conveyed messages in his thoughts, messages he'd never dare to say to his Alpha aloud.He was blaming Jovita for distracting me from catching Uriel. He felt she was a distraction to our mission, and also too low-class to be my mate.I glared at him trying to control my anger, I could feel shudders ripping through my body. My wolf was harder to control when it came to Jovita. Eric stared at me shocked and curious, he had never me this way. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm”, He said, looking concerne
Jovita's POV I stared at the intruder apprehensive. I couldn't distinguish who it was because he was standing in the shadows, but from the look, it was a man, probably around Jayden's age. Jayden had just left, and I was sure he was probably in the woods chasing Uriel with his friends, I didn't expect him to be here. “Jayden?” I called, just in case it was him. I could feel the droplets of sweat gathering on my forehead even though it was a very chilly night. Since the intruder didn't reply, I concluded it wasn't Jayden. My heart raced as he neared me, I took a step back reflectively, and to my horror, the intruder's gaze followed. If he had noticed that subtle movement, I thought he was not human. If he wasn't human, that left me with two options; he was either a werewolf or a cold one. But from the scent the winds carried towards me as he drew closer, I could tell he wasn't a werewolf. And he left me with my final option; he was a cold one. I felt chills down my spine at tha
Jayden's POV“Jovita, Jovita!” I screamed, as I felt her slip away, her heartbeat was slowly fading.I ran faster, cursing myself for leaving my mate all alone in the first place even after I saw Uriel.I had heard her say Uriel, and I was sure it was that bastard who was trying to kill her.My wolf growled again, running faster. I had never known I could go this fast. At this point, my wolf was probably travelling at the speed of light.I reduced my pace, as I reached the meadow, finding it empty. I came to a halt and tried to detect her location from her scent, as I could neither hear her thoughts, nor her heartbeat anymore.Her scent felt stronger towards the east of the meadow, so I headed there, praying silently that I wasn't too late. My wolf growled louder at the thought of finding her dead.I figured out my prayers weren't necessary, as I was shocked to the core when I reached Jovita.Jovita was glowing white, her black hair flapping wildly. The little part where it was white
Jovita's POV I woke up to find myself in a strange place. It looked unreal. I wondered where I was. It was a beautiful forest filled with lush, green grasses and trees, one that any werewolf would kill to have. The golden sun highlighted the beauty of the forest, giving the flowers a gorgeous look. I made my way towards a clearing in the forest and sighted a delightful spring. I had never seen anywhere looking so magical. Was I dead? I thought, suddenly scared. From what I remember last, I was being strangled by a vampire, and now I was touring an amazing-looking forest. What was this? The after-life? The forest was quiet except for the occasional chirping of beds, and a little noises here and there from animals I couldn't see. I was tempted to scream to know if anyone was here with me, but I ignored the urge. I barely knew what or who inhabited this forest, I didn't want to present myself as a sumptuous meal for someone's supper. Who knows how delicious I would look on a stake,
Jayden’s POV I stared at Jovita's opened eyes, gratitude filling my heart, I wasn't sure I had ever been this happy. She looked at me with a perplexed expression on her face, and then her expression turned to one of concern. I regarded her keenly, wondering why she was looking at me with those large, lovely, worry-laced eyes, I was the one meant to be worried about her, she had almost died. It almost would be an understatement, as I had thought I already lost her. She was as cold as an ice block just a few minutes ago. Her pulse had seized, and I could no longer hear a heartbeat. I had tried all I could to heal her, including calling the most powerful healer of my clan. The ancient one had done his job, and left saying she was communing with her ancestor, and would return soon. I had found that confusing wondering what he meant, and at that moment, I started to feel her heartbeat slip away until it finally stopped. For a moment my world seized too as a choking pain clutched my
Jovita's POV I stared at Maddie as she carefully folded her favourite, grey sweatpants. I was spending the weekend at her family's mansion in Green Valley, the loveliest part of Forktown. It was decorated with lush grasses, trees, shrubs, and majestic mansions similar to Maddie's. I had just filled Maddie in on what happened yesterday and was waiting for her reply. Maddie was a counsellor among our circle of friends, she had a strange, mature wisdom-filled mind that I believed had probably come from the many books she was always engrossed in. “So what are you going to do?” She asked. I shrugged, sitting on the white, soft armchair beside her king-size bed. “Nothing just live life I guess”. “Jovita you can't live without your mate, you have to be in unison with him”. “I was living very well without him from what I recall, besides I only got to know he was my mate yesterday”. “You should at least ask him what he meant, since you didn't understand the accusations, clearly there's
