AARON
Jason already knew we were home last night. I sent him a mindlink and told him Janna was drunk and I was already tired. He didn't ask more and just told me to make sure the front door was securely locked before he cut off the mindlink.
And this was turning out to be more bizarre.
Breakfast was almost done, so it meant they were awake for a long time before they woke us up. Weren't they supposed to be alarmed that their daughter was tangled up with a man on their sofa the whole night?
I didn't have time to think more about this since I followed after Janna as she rushed upstairs. My eyes lingered on her round ass as she half ran and half walked along the stairs in those short satin shorts.
"Eyes off my ass, Gamma!" She snapped at me without looking back.
"Then stop swinging it in my face!" I snapped back at her.
She stopped and turned around so suddenly that I almost slammed my head on her stomach. My brows furrowed
JANNA I went down to the dining room and found Clair, Beta Gavin, and Alia in their seats already. Clair said that Jacob was still on the phone with another Alpha and told her that we could start dinner without him. I didn't see Aaron, but I was too shy to ask where he was, not wanting to leave the impression that I wanted to see him. I sat beside Clair. I knew this was Aaron's place, but every time I visited for two days every month, Clair would let me sit here. I was placing food on my plate when Aaron's voice reached my ears. I turned slowly to see him frowning, leaning his shoulder on the pillar of the dining room entryway. "Should I feel bad that I'm the only one always discarded on the dining table?" "Excuse me? What do you mean?" Clair asked her brother, as all eyes on the table were now on Aaron. He shrugged his shoulders and crossed his arms over his chest, but stayed on his spot. "First, Alia came, and I was thrown out of my seat. And then, now that Janna is permanent
AARONThe dinner went nicely despite the annoying start. Janna was in a chirpier mood after I lied to her brother for her. I don't know why I did that. I never lied to the Alpha and I don´t know if it would cost me something big later.But I don't think this was something I couldn´t handle.Michael might be able to get away from Jason and Jacob's wrath, but I won´t let him get away with it easily. I would come back for him, whether Janna agrees or not.After dinner, I just dropped by for a few minutes at the Alpha´s office to discuss my agenda for the week before heading back to my room. As soon as I was done with my shower, I dried off my body and slipped my sweatpants on. I was ready to retire for the night because it was a fucking long day already. And my body was aching for my own bed.But then it turned out to be impossible because I found Jenny sitting at the end of my bed when I came out of the bathroom. I forgot to change my lock code."Jenny. What are you doing here?" I aske
JANNA I didn´t know what happened, but when I saw Jenny behind him, all the braveness I felt just melted away. I knew I was pissed off at him, but the pain that crossed my chest was undeniably something else. This was all wrong. I was starting to get attracted to Aaron but he was in a relationship. I slammed the door closed and dove onto my bed, burying my face in the mattress while trying my best to stop the tears from falling down. I should stop while I´m still able to. But how would I do that?
JANNA I made my way to the training ground five minutes before six in the morning. Jacob wanted me to start training today, so I woke up early and slipped on my sports bra and my high-waisted running pants, and I pulled my black straight hair into a high ponytail. The training ground was buzzing with warriors, and I saw Clair and Alia at the other end, preparing for their own training. Jacob told me he would assign someone to help me out because I was just starting with the basics and couldn´t join Clair and Alia yet, since they have more advanced training now.
JANNA After my training, I went back to the packhouse and showered before heading to the dining area for breakfast. Although Aaron didn´t say anything more after we clashed, he did give me a hard time during the training that I was sure he was doing on purpose. I would need to tell Jacob to assign me another trainer or else, I won´t do this training anymore. I was almost in the dining room when I heard my brother´s voice, but I couldn´t understand what he was saying, but his tone was serious. I felt they were talking about some private thingsso I immediately stopped on my track and listened to them without making any noise.
CLAIR "By the way, Aaron. I forgot to tell you that Janna would start training today. Have you assigned someone to train her?" My mate´s voice broke the silence that was ruling the dining table. I peeked at him through my long lashes as I continued to eat my breakfast. Jake had so many things to do that it was not a surprise that he was forgetting those little things already.
JANNA The whole packhouse was deserted today except for a few helpers and warriors who were to man the packhouse while the Alpha and Luna's Birthday Gala was happening at the biggest Pavillion in the territory. In less than fifteen minutes, the event would start and Jacob had sent me a mindlink saying that I needed to come down now since he and Clair were ready to go to the Pavillion. In the end, I would be escorted by my brother together with Clair. It sucked, right? If I had my choice, I would never take the limelight away from his Luna, and I would be just happy to hold onto my father's arms, but Jacob wouldn't hear any of it. I took a last glance at my reflection in the full-length mirror in my room. A smile curved in my lips as I twirled around gently, satisfied with how I looked. I chose a teal-colored floor-length evening gown with a heart neckline that hugged my curves perfectly. My breasts were cupped so nicely that it w
AARON The party at the Pavillion was at full blast. Earlier, the Alpha made a toast for him and for his Luna before he introduced Janna to the crowd, much to my annoyance. The place was swarming with Alphas and their Betas, and the thought of someone in the crowd ending up as her mate was spoiling my mood for the night. And it didn´t go unnoticed that there were a lot of unmated males giving her attention. My only consolation was that Janna tried to move away from them as fast as she could. Alpha Females were like delicacies that every Alpha and Beta craved for their own. It was fucking irritating me that Gammas were excluded from this. How was I supposed to claim her if she didn't end up as my mate? Janna was making me question the very tradition I grew up with. I never cared about the Claiming and its fucking rules, even after Clair was abducted. I saw it as it fits. But now, I fucking detested it. And I wished there was a way out because I am certa
