RHEA Pacing back and forth in the sitting room of Jaden's home was making me more anxious and no matter how much I tried not to think negatively, the thoughts continued to swam my mind. I didn't know where Jaden had gone to. But, whatever business he'd gone to attend to, had seemed both important and intense, judging from his statements.I didn't know a lot about Jaden, but I couldn't help but worry. Maybe, it was the mate bond making me feel like that. I sat down on the couch and stared at the TV. Still, I couldn't concentrate.My eyes widened when the door opened and Jaden walked in, his facial features expressionless. He ignored me and walked right past me. I glared at his retreating figure and let out an irritated huff. Then, I patted my cheeks and let out a sigh.'What on Earth are you doing, Rhea? Why are you trying to get his attention? He doesn't even want you' I thought.The door opened and Trisha walked in. She ignored me and went upstairs."Jaden?!" She called out an
JADEN Was I really going to do what she'd asked? She'd sounded so sure that I was going to show up at the dining room and have dinner with her. I wondered what motive she had in mind, especially since she was more complicated than I thought. Or maybe, she wasn't. Maybe, this was her personality. A part of me wanted to know her and the other part of me? Not so much. My stomach grumbled and I let out a sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose. 'Come on, Jaden. It's clear that you're starving. It can't be so bad to hang out with our mate. Mother Selene wouldn't have made a mistake in choosing her as our mate' Tarus stated and I leaned back on my seat, rubbing my jaw. He had a point there. 'You can't be afraid of losing her. You're no longer a weak nineteen year old werewolf. You are a demon wolf and you are more than capable of protecting your mate' Tarus added. He was right. Deep down, I wasn't scared. I'd made myself believe that I was avoiding starting a relationship with Rhea bec
JADEN She was lost in thoughts and was no longer listening to me. If I were her, I would do the same. There was no way I wouldn't have seen what she'd seen. She could have been hallucinating. Still, it didn't make a lot of sense. Her wolf had been triggered as well. There had to be some sort of explanation for what had just happened. Rhea stared at her claws, a confused look on her face. Her eyes were no longer grey. One of them was forest green and the other was a very light blue. Her eyes were beautiful. "I've always wanted to have a wolf. But, now.... I'm so confused. I have no idea what I'm doing, Jaden. What's happening to me? I don't understand..." She said and I placed a hand on her shoulder to get her to calm down. She was already panicking so much already. "Take a deep breath," I said and she closed her eyes, inhaling deeply. "Now, relax." She opened her eyes and exhaled slowly. Her eyes had returned to their usual color. She stared at the ground, her shoulders sl
JADEN All eyes were on me as I made my way towards one of the unoccupied chairs in the royal court room. I could feel Zaden's burning gaze at the back of my head, but it didn't bother me. The Alpha King's seat was unoccupied and a few Alphas were yet to arrive, including Matthias.'He's annoying. I want to punch the hell out of him right now' Klaus said to me from his position beside me. 'You're not the only one who wants to do that. But, we can't do that here. You have to pull yourself together, Klaus' I said through the mindlink. Matthias walked in with his Beta, Carl. Then, he approached me and shook hands with me. "Good to see you again, Jaden" he said with a smile. "Good to see you too, Matthias" I responded. He took his seat opposite me. Zaden glared at me, but I remained stoic. After a few more minutes, the chairs were all occupied. All except the Alpha King's Seat. When he finally walked in, we all stood up. The Alpha King of the South had ascended the throne at the
RHEA Haru sat down beside me, taking my hand in hers. "It means you have the gift of vision. Is this the first time you're experiencing this?" She asked."Yesterday is the first time it happened," I told her.She gave me another smile."If you ever want to talk about it, I'll be willing to listen, okay?" She said and I nodded. She walked away and I looked at the window, surprised to see that night had fallen. I wondered if Haru was older than she looked because it felt like she was much older than she looked. I got out of bed and walked out of the room. Yawning, I sauntered to the back of the building where I found a bench. I sat down and rubbed at my exposed forearms.I gazed up at the night sky, the cool breeze ruffling my hair. I thought about what had happened earlier, a sigh escaping my lips. If what I'd seen the previous day was also a vision, it meant that it was going to happen. But, I didn't understand. I'd never been able to see visions until yesterday. What exactly tri
RHEA"And if you're wrong?" He asked, his voice low."I can't be wrong. I mean--"Before I could complete my statement, he had pulled me closer to him, cupped my face, and kissed me. My heart was jack hammering in my chest and there was a wild rushing in my ears when his lips met mine. My eyes slipped close and my fingers sank into his hair.My brain had shut down completely and the world around me had completely muted. I started to kiss him back and my legs became jelly. All I could feel was his soft lips on mine, kissing me senseless.When we pulled away, his eyes had darkened and we were so close, I could see the beautiful mix of brown and green in his eyes. We had both be rendered speechless. My wolf had been stunned too. Neither of us had expected it. But, I wanted more.He rose to his feet and I did the same. When he started to turn away from me, I grabbed his hand to stop him from leaving."Let's just say you only did that to shut me up. I want to know what I mean to you. I wan
JADEN For a moment, she stared at me with disbelief, plump lips parted. "What?" She breathed and I rose to my feet, towering above her. She was quite tall for a woman, but I was taller. Fighting against the truth was of no use anyway. I wanted to make her my Luna. Mine. It was the truth. "Maybe? Maybe not?" She whispered and I quietly approached her, keeping my face expressionless. She gasped when I wrapped an arm around her slim waist. When she looked up at me, her gaze met mine. And just like that, her expression morphed into a seductive one as she bit her lower lip. She turned around, her back to me. Then, she rubbed her backside against me. I stiffened, mentally letting out a string of curses. She turned to look at me, a glint in her eyes."What were you saying again?" She whispered, her voice soft. "Is this a part of your plan? I don't know what you're thinking and it bothers me" I said and she chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm not plotting anything evil. I'm just having a lit
RHEA There was silence at first. An eery silence that made shivers run down my spine, goosebumps appearing on my skin. Then, I heard it. The ear piercing cry of the rogue wolf. A howl of pain. I opened my eyes, my gaze resting on Jaden's large wolf which had pinned the other wolf to the ground, effortlessly. What was scary about this, was that the rogue wouldn't stop howling, despite the fact that Jaden wasn't even putting so much pressure on him. I didn't feel sorry for him, you see. He had tried to kill me. 'The only reason why I'm not ripping him apart yet, is because I don't want you to feel bad. But, I'm going to knock him out' Jaden told me. I sighed, turning away from them. 'Sure. What else are you going to do with him? He's a rogue who trespassed into your grounds' I said.'Darryl and Klaus will interrogate him' he said and moved towards me. The rogue wolf was lying on the ground knocked out. He suddenly shifted into human form and on the floor lay a pale teenager wh
