JASONAiden bursting into my office saved Liz’s father from my wrath. If it wasn’t for him, I definitely wouldn’t have hesitated to choke the man to death.“Alpha,” he was breathing heavily, looking like he ran a marathon.“What?!” I growled the question out. Pissed off at everyone and everything.And the damned old man has still refused to speak. He was clearly protecting someone. I just didn’t know if it was Liz. But she was his only daughter. So it had to be her.She had never given the indication that she knew about Jenna and the kids. I only recently found out myself and seeing as it was after they were kidnapped. I’d say they found out before me.But how?Jenna was rarely mentioned around the pack. Most of the pope that knew her have left the pack. Now in neighboring packs with their mates. And the younger pack members didn’t know her. Maybe just from stories or here and there.Then their parents. They were the ones that were always with mum when she spoke about Jenna. And after
JENNAI’ll never forget this year in my life.I woke up in the trunk of a car. My hands were bound and tied to my legs and there was a tape over my mouth. Let me not mention the banging in my head.It was like my skull was being hit with a sledgehammer over and over again.A moan rips from my chest but it came out muffled thanks to the tape. I tried moving my legs and hitting the back of the car to gain the attention of whoever was driving.I couldn’t tell if they didn’t hear me or they just chose to ignore me. Seeing the state I was in, I would go with the latter.The drive goes on for a long time. I felt like I was going to die because of how tightly closed this place was and the position I was in was horrible. I would have been fine if they just tied me but kept me in the seat with them.When the car stopped, my heart raced. Both with anticipation of the air I would breathe and worry. Because I have seen just how crazy Liz is. Lord knows how crazier she can get. And we’re probably
JASONI underestimated Liz’s level of craziness. When my phone rang and I saw it was an unknown number, I knew instantly it was her. So I picked.The last thing I expected her to ask for was for me to marry her in exchange for Jenna and my kids’ freedom.Oh, and she isn’t stupid so I’ll have to sign an agreement to waive my rights as their father. She was also adding a no divorce clause.I was eerily calm for some reason.Maybe it was stemming from the fact that I knew I had multiple teams waiting outside of that warehouse. Ready to put her down. I assume she was there with the kids and Jenna too. Just to be safe. Alpha Zade said to hold out till we were sure they were inside.We’ll get them to safety first so there are no mishaps.Aiden was with me. Throughout. With Zeke unreachable as of now.I pretended I was giving into her demands. She had to be here for us to be wed. She wanted the mating ceremony to happen right now too. Because according to her, she wasn’t going to take chance
JENNA If someone told me I would be marrying Jason, before I ever told him I loved him. I would have laughed in their face. But I did. I walked down the aisle. In the dress of my dreams if I ever had one and my babies were there. They were the best thing to ever happen to me in the world. They were already warming up to their father. Especially Nina. There was no surprise there as we all knew she would be a daddy’s girl. She has refused to leave her dad’s side. Ryan has stuck to mine. And Kai being the most carefree was already running around. Getting everyone in the pack to fall in love with him. Liz was taken away, along with her father. They were locked in the dungeon until their trial with the werewolf council. They were facing charges of attempted murder and kidnapping. And many other things Jason assured will be found. Alpha Zade mentioned how the council had been trying to get some dirt on Liz’s father. He was manipulative and a terrible person. But he also knew how to ti
JENNA“No!” Jason growls, shaking his head.I take another step forward and try to hold his hand but he quickly moves out of my reach.“You can’t be my mate!” He yells again. “Y-you’re not even part of the pack.”My lips part on a sob, and I start shaking my head in disbelief.Jason has never said that to me. He was always the one reminding me I was part of the pack. That it was my home, even if I wasn't born into it.“You’re my mate, Jason. Please.”I whisper, desperately needing him to stop looking at me with the emotion I see on everyone else’s faces, never on his.Jason’s face hardens and he doesn’t look like the boy I grew up with. He didn’t look like my best friend that I’ve known all my life. Not like my best friend that kissed me two weeks ago. Drunk and unfocused but we liked it. He wasn’t the boy I gave my virginity to because I was sure we were going to be mates.He looked disgusted.“No!” He snapped. “You’re not. You can’t be. I reject you as my mate.” He growls out, his v
JENNAI ran up to my room, not stopping even when the luna called me back. I didn't stop until I was safely in my room, the door locked.I tore the dress I was so happy to wear just a few hours ago, off me. With tears rolling down my face, I pull out the pins holding my hair up, tossing them to the floor with angry force.I changed into a t-shirt and jeans then pulled on a hoodie over my head. It was too big on me. It took only a second to realize it was Jason’s. He’d give it to me that night, one week ago when we were out by the river. I was cold before we went to sleep. Right there on the river bank, naked bodies tangled and arms wrapped around each other.My heart aches when I think of seeing him everyday. Having these memories forever. Both the good ones and the bad ones.I couldn’t handle that.I started removing the hoodie with trembling hands, but his scent kept me warm and made my insides flutter. I hated that he brought this pain upon me, but just his scent acted like a balm
JENNAIt was early morning, probably five in the morning, when I finally felt like I’ve gone far.I reached a highway, though there were no signs of life or a car. I’m hungry and tired and my clothes are ruined with dirt from the woods.Pausing on the side of the road, my shoulders give out and my duffel falls to the floor. My knees wobble and soon I find myself following my belongings.The ground is cold and hard, but it was a great relief. I lied down until I was on my back, then I breathed out through my mouth.Tears rolled down the sides of my face, hitting the ground beneath me. Thoughts of my life, the luna and alpha, and even Jason makes me miserable.Leaving had been painful and hard. But I knew it was the best thing for me.I stayed lying there for hours, probably. I was still there when the sun came out. There was still no sign of a car or a living being on the road.One on hand, it was good. It meant I wouldn’t run into rogues and risk being hurt. While on the other hand, I
JENNAI nodded and gave the man my best innocent look.He curses under his breath, his eyes losing focus like it does when you’re mindlinking.He rushes out of the cafe, probably off to deal with an emergency. I don’t wait until the door closes before I gather my stuff, the lady isn’t by the counter, so I just drop a bill for her.I head to the door, looking for the nearest opening to the woods then I run in that direction.I don’t make it far before I hear someone shout for me, then they start following me.I’m tired from last night and the tea and pie only satisfied me to some degree but I keep running.We’ve gotten into a darker and thicker part of the woods. I have to look around and be careful so as not to hit myself or end up tripping.I’ve put a bit of distance between me and the men that were following me. It isn’t so far that I could take a moment and rest. I need to keep moving.Something hits me out of nowhere and it makes my ankle bend in the wrong way. I bite my lip to st
