"What!?"They gasped as I told them the cause of my bruises. "You mean my brother did this to you?" Peter growled as he grabbed my hand. “How could he do this to you?”Jane cursed as she came closer to me to examine the bruises I had gotten. “How could he be so cruel towards you?”She whimpered as she had me sir on the bed. She brought out a first aid kit as she treated my wound. “Uhm!” Katherine cleared her throat as she rolled her eyes. “What is it you want to say now?”Peter scoffed as he looked at her. “I doubt if Darcy Snow stands a chance of being Jace's mate.”She rolled her eyes again as she sighed. “C'mon, don't give me that look again, Jane.”She scoffed as she hissed. “How could a man in his right senses hurt a lady in such a manner? How could he send his claws deep inside her flesh and even in her neck? Wasn't that extreme?”She paced about as she kept on ranting and pouring her heart. “That is why I hate powerful men!”She concluded with a heavy hiss. “Can you
I stood up as I took the cloth and then went to change my cloth. I treated the little bruises I had incurred from Jack's brutality. “Are you insane?” Peter questioned as he saw me wearing the maid's gown. “Wait! Don't tell me elder brother, Jace Steele did this to you?”He shuddered as he looked at my right fingers.“And why would he have you do the maid's work when you are his beloved second chance mate? This is crazy. I mean f*cking crazy.”Jane said in a disgusted tone as she sat down on the bed. “Are you really sure you want to walk down this lane, Snowy?”“This lane would really be a difficult one because he despises you already, so what are the chances that you get to be accepted as his second chance mate?”Peter went on and on asking several questions.I stared at him and wished he was my mate after all. At least, ever since I stepped my feet here, he has always been caring and concerned about my well-being. “I will go talk to Jace.”“It wasn't just Jace's decision but Jack
I swept and mopped the floor, not leaving a single dirt. He ordered me to scrub the dining table thoroughly before leaving which I hurriedly did before I went to prepare another oyster Rockefeller and sandwich for him again.I walked down in the lonely street to get few stuff.Luckily for me I was able to get them and before I was done with his dinner it was already few minutes past 10p.m.He ate the food and ordered me to do the dishes as a punishment for starving him. And when I was done with the dishes I was completely exhausted.I had never worked this hard in my entire life. I also had to scrub the kitchen floor and clean the gas cooker and the table as well.Moved to the dining and I also scrubbed the floor with a little towel which made it a very tiring task. And before I got done with all the chores it was already few minutes left to 1a.m in the morning. My eyes were heavy and I really needed to sleep as well. I returned back to the room I had been occupying just to see Jac
He stepped out of the room after advising that I follow him now unless I was never ever going to find out.I felt this curiosity that came with the hate in me.“What other secret were they hiding from me?”Everyone came with different secrets and now, the one man I am about to go all down for just whispered into my ear and the calmness I felt immediately went sour and my heart skipped in fear, racing really fast as my head would not stop spinning. It all didn't make any sense but then when my eyes met with his cold eyes, it crushed me from within and when he went on to smirk, this numbness slowly spread through my chest.I followed him and kept following him in silence. This was unusual, Peter was silent and that was different. We exited the royal villa as he took me down a quiet street. Only a few werewolves were up already and they were preparing for the day's work ahead. “Where are you taking me to, Peter?”“What secret have you been hiding?”I finally asked two major questions t
We returned back to the royal villa before it clocked 6a.m.The guards greeted us in unison with a smile on their face. Peter wasn't much interested in their greetings as he wore a cold face as he walked past them and all I did was to reciprocate their every smile. “Please, no-no-no-no-no!”Allison's voice rang in my head loudly as I walked into the villa. “Don't do this to me, please!”“I have always loved you, Snow. I was just blinded by her deceit, her lies, her desires for power which I couldn't see. Please, don't reject me as your mate, please Snow!”He pleaded as he cried in a weak manner, struggling with the chains on his body.“If you don't come with me, our pack will fall to the ground. Everything we built together will collapse. Snow, don't! Please, don't do it!”He went on begging and begging but then I couldn't just stand his sight. Peter was right, if possible – I would have tore him apart for the pains he made me go through. For cheating on me with my own best friend,
I groaned as I opened my eyes and I saw Peter, Jane and Katherine staring at me.My vision was still quite blurry but I could tell they were the one. “You are finally awake!”Peter shuddered as he stepped closer.“What happened to me?”I asked in a weak voice as I supported myself up, leaning on the bed frame now and a pillow that supported me from behind. “You had a blackout and trust me when I say you don't look good at all.”Jane replied as she touched my neck to feel my temperature. “When last did you even get a proper sleep?”Katherine snapped as she sat down on the left side of the bed, opposite Jane. “You really looked messed up, Snowy!”Jane whimpered as she touched my body and my face.“It's just the second day and you already have bruises all over your body? C’mon Snowy, I really doubt your chances of being his mate!”Katherine said.“Get off it already!”Jane yelled at her immediately as she pressed my wound gently with the towel she had soaked in a hot water. “You will
Jace's POV.“We'll be going for hunting today in the woods - it's been a while I went to the cabin and spend some time there with Fluffy.”I shrugged as I got up from the swivel chair.“And you can let her know she has two days off before resuming her duty!”I snapped as I picked up my heavy black coat.“Are you being serious right now? C’mon Jace, she is your second.”“Can you just stop already? I am giving her two days off, what other thing do you expect me to do, huh?”I scoffed as I looked at him.“Just prepare for hunting. It's been a while we caught some good preys.”“And how about Jack?”“You can keep him out of this. Just the two of us!”I muttered before leaving him. *****6p.mWe had rode the best horses as it was far more preferable as we were going for hunting. I couldn't afford to mess up my cars I had wasted so much money for just for a little hunting. “Are you sure you are going to get your target today?”Jones questioned as he looked at me.“A bull? Oh yes! Definitely
My wolves paused and right now I could tell they had their jaws dropped because for the first time, I was charmed by such an angelic beauty that drove me wild to different ecstasies. I smiled a bit as I stretched my right hand out to her. “You have nothing to fear any more. Come to me!” I said in a still and commanding voice. I could see the reluctance in her eyes and I saw fear build up in her eyes but then, I couldn’t tell what she was running from and what she was scared of. She walked down to me gently as she placed her right hand on mine. Her hand was soft and her smell became stronger and right now, all I could imagine was walking down the aisle to start a family with this complete stranger. “Where did you come from?” I asked in curiosity as I was lost in her eyes. “I barely made it out from the North.” She said gently. I smiled again as I tried to calm her down. I walked her down as I held her left hand. I could feel her heart that once raced fast get still. The night
