With slightly wide eyes I bobbed my head at him. I grabbed the first-aid kit and made my way toward him. He sat in a way that there was enough space behind him so I could sit easily at an appropriate distance and treat him. I'm not good in this field but for now, something is better than nothing. I took a seat behind him on the bed and my eyes fell on his huge muscular back. He made me look so small, my eyes glided on the wound on his back made by Sebastian. It was bad. The claw marks were deep at the back and the blood was seeping out. My stomach churned as my heart felt heavy. Grabbing cotton I gently shifted closer to him and started cleaning the wound. He tensed when I applied some pressure and I instantly pulled back. "Which salve should I apply?" I asked him as he said the name in his hoarse voice. Taking the cream-like thing on my fingertips, I gently applied it to his wound as he hissed. It must be burning. Leaning closer I gently blew on his wound so it wouldn't burn much
The next day, I got a phone call from Lily. She was mad at me because I haven’t contacted her since our last phone call."I told you there was an incestuous relationship between Liam and Stella," Lily said as I sighed.Everything happened after that I didn’t tell her, she heard from one of her pack members, who joined the farewell party last night in the hospital. "You didn't even bother to tell me, April. I thought I was your friend, and here I get to know about everything from someone else," She complained. I felt bad for not telling her but everything happened so fast that I had no time to think about it. Things were happening one after the other and I was so caught up in it, also I didn't want to worry her but if I told her all this she'd scold me."I'm sorry that you got to know about it from someone else, I didn't tell you because I thought you must be busy with your new baby," I said."It's alright but only for this time. You don't have to endure everything alone. I'm always h
I frowned, I didn’t like this topic, and somehow, I felt offended. Leon noticed that I didn't like it. "I'm just complimenting your ability. You have a great talent which a lot of Lunas lack," He said as I glared at my food."Leon-""How's Doctor Jason? I've heard what happened at the hospital. Are his injuries serious?" Leon asked, looking a bit concerned."He's fine. The wounds aren't threatening," I said clutching the fork with force as I recalled those wounds. I pray that he gets well soon."I'm planning to visit him but I barely get any time because of my Alpha duty, please ask about his health from my side," He said calmly as I nodded my head at him.Leon was an excellent Alpha. He cares a lot about his pack and his pack is always his priority along with Lily. He loves his sister a lot.He was always a silent type of man but well-mannered and intelligent. The dinner eventually ended in an easy atmosphere as I and Lily talked about different stuff. I complimented her cooking. A
I walked up to Jason and greeted him. He looked upset as he replied calmly.He put in the key as the door unlocked and we stepped inside silently."Lily liked the cookies. I played with Oliver, her baby boy. He's so cute and the dinner was delicious." I said, trying to cheer up the mood a little."Great," He said plainly as he removed his coat and placed it on the sofa."How did your dinner go with your mentor? Did you have a good time?" I asked and he just shrugged his massive shoulders while removing his wristwatch."It was okay," He replied as I fumbled with the hem of my shirt awkwardly.Why wasn't he talking to me normally? He wasn't even looking at me while replying. Maybe he thought that was boring?"You know what, Leon gave me a weird suggestion at dinner, he said I could take Luna's position as a job. How could he think of Luna as a job?" I said, pondering Leon's words.Jason didn’t even reply to me this time, he was just staring at the floor with his hands in his pants pock
Jason's pov I noticed that April hesitated to walk into the kitchen after noticing me sitting in the lounge. We didn't come across each other after she gave me soup and retired to her room. I couldn't help but continue to think about how she treated my wounds. She was so close to me that I could feel her warmth. Her scent and the heat of her body were doing things to me making my beast go crazy but I controlled the urge. It took a lot of my restraint not to kiss her then and there when her soft lips caressed my chest accidentally when she was wrapping the bandage around my abdomen.The sexual tension between us was thick and I knew she could feel it too. I thought the things between us would get awkward and I still wasn't sure.I was reading my book and she seemed to be contemplating whether to greet me or not. I think she didn’t know that I’m aware of her presence. She cleared her throat and greeted me as I gave her a warm smile. She was awkward and hesitant, fidgeting with her fi
April's povThe next morning I woke up early. After having a quick shower I changed into a new set of clothes and made my way into the kitchen.I searched for the ingredients and started making breakfast for myself and Jason. The kitchen is always fully stocked. Every day he would ask me if I needed anything and I'll thank him, saying there was nothing I needed because he has already provided me with everything.I set the table when he descended down the stairs wearing his casual clothing. He was wearing a loose shirt with sweats. His hair was ruffled and wet. 'He looked kinda cute,' Frea mused in my head and I scolded her in my head."Breakfast is ready," I passed him a smile as he took a seat opposite mine and served himself. We started eating our breakfast as I pondered my thoughts. I've been thinking about it lately but I haven't voiced it out yet."Jason," I called him, garnering his attention."I thought I would live here only for a few days, but now it seems it will be long,"
I got ready. I wore a beautiful peach dress. It reached above my knees and was flowy, shoulderless. Lily gifted this to me a year back and it's beautiful. I did light makeup, some mascara, and gloss. I let my hair loose as it cascaded down my back in waves.I stepped out of the room and found Jason in the lounge. He was wearing a crisp white button-down shirt with black slacks. His hair was gelled back and he looked nice.'Handsome Hunk,' Frea hooted in my head and my eyes widened in embarrassment. Thank God wolves couldn't talk out loud cause Frea would've surely embarrassed me in a lot of places."You look beautiful," He complimented as his eyes sneaked a glance at me from head to toe."Thank you," I whispered with my heart beating faster.He escorted me out of the house and helped me into his car. Taking the driver seat he put the car to drive.Within a few minutes, we reached the restaurant as it was close by. Jason passed the keys to the valet and opened the door for me. The ma
My eyes shot open wide as I abruptly sat up on the bed and gasped. Sweat trickled down my temple as I checked my arms and looked at them wide eyes to find any blood all over but there was nothing. My chest was heaving up and down with fast breaths as my eyes scanned my room.I couldn't tell if it was reality or a nightmare. I squinted my eyes to find the lurking shadows in the darkness of my room. I was afraid that at any moment Liam would come out of the shadows and hurt me.A shrill scream escaped my lips as my heart came to my mouth when my door was knocked. "April?" I heard the deep panicked stricken voice of Jason as I cupped my mouth shut trying to breathe."It's okay, April. You're safe. I'm here for you," His voice was gentle but held worry for me."It was just a nightmare. I heard your muffled cries. You're safe, April." He said as I touched my cheeks to find them wet. I was crying.His words were comforting. "Can I come in?" He asked as I immediately wiped my tears."Y..yes
