A little clumsily, I stood up and took quick steps towards Jaden, finding Catherine standing in the doorway. "Oh, dear," she puts her hand to her lips. "I got in the way of something." "No," "Yes," we say at the same time and face each other seconds later. "Of course, she got in our way," he rolls his eyes. "What does Liam want?" "No, but he's downstairs, waiting in the Hall!" She sighs heavily. Jaden keeps a scowl on his face and waves to her as he leaves the room. He doesn't face me and I realize that he must not be someone my mate likes to receive. "He also brought an entourage with him," Catherine mutters, walking a little behind me. I face her, frowning. She gives me a meaningful look and I just nod, trying to keep my tongue inside my mouth. I don't feel comfortable giving my opinion and I've never had that space with Joshua and his family. At times, I believed that I was a piece of work that they kept with them. We wolves believe in the power of the bond. When the
Jaden "I stretch in the middle of training. Lilith wiggles her legs in amusement as she stares at my shirtless companions doing the same warm-up as me. I watch her as she sticks a licorice in her mouth and takes a bite. "Take your eyes off her," my coach says, raising my face to him. "Sorry," I whisper. "You'll be Alpha, Jaden! You have to keep your head on straight and set an example," he mutters. "Don't let me down." "Got it!" I whisper. He takes a few steps back, moving out of my way and leaving me face-to-face with Liam. My cousin. The biggest son of a bitch in the world. I fucking hated him. He could be a fucking pain in the ass, even if we only saw each other a few times a year. He'd come here for the vacations and my uncle demanded that he train to keep fit, even though I didn't think it was necessary. "You really like the witch," he says, giving me a teasing look. "I could never see anything in her before," her eyes meet mine as a challenge, "but now you seem to
'Wake up, you idiot!' I hear a grunt inside my head and shift in bed. 'Liam is already in the dining room and chatting away, I'm not putting up with this alone,' Catherine says, angrily. I open my eyes, still trying to orient myself. By this time, the TV screen has already been turned off and the room is dark. I slept better than I had in months. I feel stupidly light. The smell of Malia invades my nose and I groan, feeling hard. Almost at the same time, she stirs and I close my fingers against her blouse. "What time is it?" She asks, her voice hoarse and sleepy. "Dinner time," I murmur. "Oh, heavens!" She sits up quickly. "We need to get ready." "The idea of declining dinner with that idiot and spending the night in bed with you sounds so good to me," I whisper as I sit next to her. I hide my face in her neck and nibble, as I hear her moan softly. Her hairs stand on end and she closes her legs. The smell of her excitement fills the room and she moistens her own lips. "Jaden,"
“Go to your room, don’t wander around, Malia, Liam isn’t a trustworthy type.” Lilith scores for me.She presses the elevator button and we wait for it to arrive. Going down those stairs is much easier, but when I ventured up, I had to stop more times than necessary.I agree with her silently and enter the elevator. the doors take a while to close and we stare at each other. I exhale as soon as I feel it starts to rise.This place is so beautiful, it's a shame that I can't enjoy it as I would like because of an unwanted visitor. I enter my huge room and close the door, throwing myself onto my very comfortable bed.The feeling of peace hits me almost instantly and I smile broadly.‘He’s a huge idiot,’ Fawn complains in my head.I close my eyes to see her and smile at her broadly.‘Fawn, it’s good to see you!’‘I know, you need to get used to my presence, darling,’ she rolls her eyes. ‘I hate that we can’t talk anymore.’‘Sorry, I’ve been really busy,’ I say guiltily.‘Our mate is so cut
Jaden I opened my eyes and an almost automatic smile flashed across my face. I turned around only to find my mate wrapped up in the comforter, naked, her scent wafting around me. She snores and I kiss her forehead, sitting down on the bed and looking outside, where the shutters were open. 'Are you going to leave her alone in this huge bed?' Mark growls in my head. 'We have a life to look after, Mark,' I roll my eyes. 'The idea of lying on her and making her mine is very tempting, but we need to look after our people, our pack!' 'I want to keep my mate, Boy!' he grunts. 'Are you really not satisfied with her by now?' I point, laughing. 'We've had sex so many times this morning, I thought you'd be tired. 'We're only thirty-one, Jaden,' I see him roll his eyes and stretch out his paw. 'If you're out of shape, that's your bad luck!' He gives me a lopsided grin. 'I'm too fit to fill my mate up with my puppies. 'Have you asked her if she wants to carry your puppies, plural?' I ask
I gave in to her, I gave in to those round almond eyes that stared at me and reminded me of all the madness of last night. I gave in because I simply couldn't deny anything she asked of me. As soon as we arrived at the gym, Malia looked very calm, staring at all the almost two-meter-tall louts warming up. "Good morning, sir," the coach said, bowing to us. Followed by a chorus from the members of my army. "Good morning," I wave to everyone. "Today we have a new... member?" I stare at her, a crease forming in the middle of my forehead. "Participant, I don't know... Anyway," I let the air out of my lungs. "That's my mate, Malia, I hope you'll take her in and treat her well, please. She's going to train with us today!" I was hoping she would turn and run in fear, but she smiled openly and waved excitedly. The trainer approached in strides, his eyes wide and frightened like two huge balls. "Luna," he curtsied. "My king, don't you think it's imprudent that..." "He does," Malia int
Jaden As soon as I see her leave with Toby laughing, I stare at Bruno and Damon in shock. In fact, everyone here looks shocked. Since I arrived, I have never met a man who was his match. She was my epitome of perfection. The kind of man I wanted everyone to be and he and Malia just had an epic fight. He took it easy until she broke his nose and challenged him. After that, I saw Toby fight as he fought the strongest men he had ever had the pleasure of having in his path. He was knocked down and had some broken bones by the pack's future Luna and he seemed very excited as he laughed at her like she was the funniest person in the world. He wasn't jealous, but he was very shocked by what had just happened in this courtyard. “Did you see what I saw?” I ask, blinking. He could hear everyone else's whispers, but he didn't dare to ask them the same thing. “How long has she been training?” Bruno asks. “I don't remember her saying she trained,” He frowns. “What’s more, where she comes f
When I woke up this morning, I was hungrier than usual. I'd gone to bed without dinner so I wouldn't have to talk to Jaden and even though I was still hurt, I missed him a lot during the night.The first few days after Joshua left, I missed him. But, nothing like it was on a night without Jaden - and mind you, until recently, I didn't want to be his mate.When Joshua left, it was even better for me and I reflected on how nice it was to have a bed of my own. Of course, I never expressed this, since I'd always heard that a bond was the most important thing in the world and that, for some reason, I should miss a man I'd lived with for a year.As I stretch out on the bed and face the outside of the room, I realize what a beautiful day it is outside. I think I can invite Jaden for breakfast on the lawn. We can talk and try to reach a consensus. One of us has to give in and I hope it's not me, I couldn't bear to be the second in my mate's life.I take a quick shower, slipping into white gym
