Jovita's POV “Oh my gawd, Jayden had just been ravishingly kissing me a few minutes ago”, I felt my cheeks still burning red. I stared down at our hands tightly entwined, and a smile crept to my lips. Suddenly, I noticed his body tense, and I followed his gaze focused on something, his eyes narrowed, and concentrated. “A cold one is here”, I heard in my head. My body stilled. I recognized that voice. It was Jayden's voice, more like Jayden's thoughts. I stared at him to make sure I wasn't imagining things. “Eric, Seth, Phil, Conan, gather around, a cold one is here, and I think he not just any cold one”. I heard it again, I could hear Jayden's thoughts. “Oh my god”, I yelled in my head, excitedly. He turned to look at me, his eyes narrowing, and a slow smile spread on his face. “The bond is getting stronger”, he said, drawing me into his arms, and planting a deep, brief, caring kiss on my lips. “I have to gather the others, stay with the rest of the party guests, be safe mate
Jayden’s POV I groaned in pain as the vampire ran with me, describing his movement as running would be an underestimation, he was flying. I yelped when he stopped suddenly and slammed me into a tree. “Let's see what you've got”, he said, his hands behind him, waiting for me to get up. I rose to my feet, my body in pain. I close my eyes, trying to self-heal. It was excruciating. When I had managed to stop my bleeding, I opened my eyes to stare at my opponent, calculating. He was probably ten times stronger and faster than me, and I had to plan my movement carefully or end up getting killed. “I see you're an instinctive fighter”, he said, giggling. How about we make this fairer?” He made a swirling motion with his hands, and a portal opened. I gasped, I didn't know cold ones could have such powers. Who the hell was this guy? He looked exactly like the guy who had attacked Jovita, but I could tell he wasn't the same guy. He smelt different, moved differently, and acted differently.
Jovita's POV “You should stay back, we will find him”, Eric said to me, blocking the exit. We were still at the party, and I insisted on following them to find Jayden. The rest of the party guests had dispersed, and the room was empty, except for me, my besties, the white brothers, and Betty. I noticed she was still giving me cold stares and she was avoiding Eric. “Please I need to go with you”, I pleaded with teary-eyed. “If you come with us it would pose a problem, we'd be distracted between protecting you and searching for him”, Phil, Maddie's mate, said. I nodded, he was right, it was better I stayed back. I would only be a burden. “If anything happens to you, he'd probably behead us in a breath”, Eric said, and the others burst out in a fit of laughter. I blushed looking down, I hadn't expected that. “Let's be on our way”, Eric said, taking off through the crack Uriel had left, while Phil and Conan followed. I sat down on the chair, taking in a deep, worried breath. Maddie
Jayden's POV It was excruciating, but I pulled my body on top of hers, shielding her against the cold. She was soft and fragile. I felt her body stiffen against mine, and I smiled. She was trying her best not to think so I couldn't tell what was going through her head, I could guess at least, from the feel of her taut nipple against my chest, and her rapid heartbeat. I leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead. “I'm sorry for putting you through this”, I whispered into her ear. Uriel was right, I wasn't the perfect mate for Jovita. I was meant to be her Alpha, her protector, but here I was, endangering her life constantly. “I should be the one apologizing. Uriel is here because of me”. “He's not, you might be part of the reason he's here, but not the only reason”. She was about to say something, but my friends’ giggles and banter cut her short. “We should probably give you guys a room”, Eric said, giggling. I pulled myself from on top of her realizing it was daybreak a
Jovita's POVI mentally face-palmed. Where did those words come from? I had just told Jayden that I wanted him too, fuck it!Those words had stared something deep in him because when he looked into my eyes, his hazel eyes burned with desire. My stomach twitched, and could feel butterflies. Guys, I'm not exaggerating here, the tension was intense!“Umm… umm”, I tried to say but shut my mouth. I was short of words.“What?” He asked, his eyes moving to my lips. I swallowed. What had I done to myself?I stayed mute not knowing what to say. I tried avoiding his eyes, but that was quite impossible because his hands were still around my waist. I was struggling between not sprawling my hands on his chest, and not looking into his eyes but it was quite impossible.“Are you shy, mate?” He asked.I blushed, hating myself. I loved it when he called me mate in his deep husky voice.“Should I call you more often then?” He asked.Shoot! What did I say about thought privacy?We stopped talking, and
Jayden’s POV“It had better be for a good reason that you pulled me out of that”, I said, giving Eric a playful rib jab, but he kept a straight face.“We found a trail”, Eric said, his voice cold and distant.What was wrong? I was starting to get worried, Eric was rarely ever this way.“Where did the trail lead?”“It led to the outskirts of folk towns, but suddenly, it disappeared”.“Disappeared?” I asked, puzzled.Eric and the white brothers were helping me investigate Eric's hideout.“We caught his scent and his footprint, but it stopped at a point and did not lead forward or backward”, Eric elaborated.He must have gone through a portal, like he did earlier. I found that quite strange. I didn't know cold ones had such power or any power at all. I had to do intensive research on these creatures, but first, I needed to confront Eric.“Is something wrong, man?” I asked, eyeing him suspiciously.“Nothing”.“Is it Betty? I noticed you've been quite cold to each other lately”.“I said i
Jovita's POVI sat at the edge of the dresser still trying to catch my breath. What had just happened? I wondered.I could feel my heart palpitating wildly, and I slowly traced my fingers to my lips. It was swollen and sore.I had never seen Jayden that way. He looked like he had been about to devour me, his hazel eyes turning a shade close to fiery gold. And suddenly he stilled and walked away.Did he lose his appetite? Didn't he find me appealing enough? I pondered, a little heartbroken. I have heard stories of mates who didn't want their mates.I dressed hastily, wincing a little bit when I felt a slight pain around my neck region.I pulled my hair into a rough bun and carefully examined the region. I could see it was a bit red. And what was that I noticed? Were does… oh my gosh, are those teeth marks?Well, you might be wondering, what's there to be so happy about a simple hickey? Well, this isn't just one simple hickey, Jayden just marked me.Marking one's mate, especially by the
Jayden’s POV“Good day, Mr Gibson”, I said to the ancient storekeeper.“Jayden, you return”, he said with a smile, showing a rotten set of incomplete teeth. “An…d with one of our… own”, he stammered, staring at Jovita with widened eyes.What did he mean by that statement? Jovita was a werewolf, and Mr Gibson was surely not, though I couldn't place what he was yet.“She has our mark, though she seems to be a half-breed, and from what I see, she bears a very special and powerful mark”, Mr Gibson said in awe.Jovita looked startled and perplexed.“What's he saying?” She mumbled.“I know my kind when I see them”, Mr Gibson insisted, edging towards Jovita.She cringed, and I quickly placed myself between them.“I would not hurt my kind”, Mr Gibson said. But he turned and went back to his stand. “What brings you here today?” He asked, business-like again.“We're looking for books on cold ones with powers”, I said.“That way”, Mr Gibson said, pointing to a hallway lined with dangerous-lookin
