“Jacob Jones,” My breath jolts at the caller id and I swallow before reluctantly placing my phone against my ear
We are silent until he breaks it “Hi, Kitten,”
I growl at his nickname for me and my Lycan, Emy purrs like a teenager in love for the first time.
I silently ask the men to continue the search while I stop in an isolated area where no one can hear the conversation I’m about to have with this man.
“What?” I snarl.
“Is that any way to talk to your mate?”
I found my second chance mate a few months ago but I didn’t accept him as mine because our packs are enemies. He is the brother of Alpha Erickson Jones, the man who wants my family’s downfall.
“We are not mates,” I renounce.
“Then what are we? Sex acquaintances, fuck buddies?” I roll my eyes. When I realized that Jacob and I are mates, the mate pull was overwhelming and we ended up sleeping together even though I knew exactly who he was. Of course, I left before he awaken and I’ve been avoiding him ever since. Like me, Jacob is loyal to his brother and that will never change, I have to see him for what he is, an enemy to my pack.
“It was a mistake,” I say bitterly
“A ravishing mistake,” His deep voice makes my body hot and I squeeze my inner legs together. ” I want to see you again, Arya,” He insists.
“No!” I respond solemnly.
“Why do you allow these politics to come between us?”
“Are fucking hearing yourself? This is the life we were born into,” I say again for the tenth time. I’m getting frustrated with his insistence. However, it hurts my heart that I can never be with the man truly meant for me because of all these politics. It is a rare blessing to find a second chance mate and here I am, rejecting mine. But goddess did a number on me huh, couldn’t I find one from my pack?
“Arya,” The way he calls my name causes a shiver to run down my spine, and Emy howls in delight, she loved Jacob the first day she connected with him, his athletic body made me wet my pant and his ocean blue eyes stole my breath, my fingers were trembling to play in his dirty blonde hair and his touch, oh lord, his touch made me go bonkers.
“Jacob,” I whisper and he stills, I’ve never called him by his name, I use idiot.
“I love the way my name sounds from your mouth,” He whispers, only making my heart clench. I wipe away a few tears that rolled from my eyes
“Don’t ever call me again, Idiot,”
“And we are back,” He sounds amused. I see my brother approach us and I hung up.
“Hey, guys,” I wave and they greet me, they look fatigued.
I sigh at the sight of Leondre, he looks broken and defeated. My brother is the strongest Lycan to ever live yet the disappearance of his mate breaks his heart into a million pieces
‘Goddess, please keep that girl safe,’ I say a silent prayer. If something were to happen to Allie, my brother would not survive, I just know that. I kiss my brother’s arm and he shows me a tiny smile
“Have you eaten?” I ask. He shakes his head and I grab his hand, taking them to the nearest restaurant as we are already in the city.
“Finally, we’ve been up and down since last night,” Sighs Danford, happy that he will eat as he has been following the king around for hours in search of his Queen.
The staff restaurant welcomes us and escorts us to the table; I order a full English breakfast and so do the guys, shifters have a high metabolism hence we eat a lot. We discuss other matters while we wait for our food to be ready.
“The Jones,” My heart skips a bit at the mention of that name and I suck in a breath,
“Jacob Jones’s men were near our borders, we had a light confrontation with them but it didn’t escalate,” Jack informs us.
“Was he there?” Suddenly asks my brother, interested.
The Jones brothers are invisible and powerful in the shifter realm as well, that’s why they feel superior and want higher leadership positions however, my brother is much more powerful and is blessed by the Moon Goddess as king.
Jack continues to explain the situation to the men while I’m in deep thought, suddenly, Emy is alert and frivolous, I feel eyes bore through my skin and chills go down my body, I choke on my food when I see Jacob Jones, he was watching me with intense eyes, in a flash, he disappears.
“Are you alright?” Asks Jack, raising an eyebrow. He suspected that something is going on with me especially now that I’d been distant from him. I nod and excuse myself to go to the bathroom but it was a mistake.
“Hi, little kitten,”
Oh, no.
Arya’s POV
“Hey, little kitty,” His voice makes me jump and I face him, what the hell is he doing here? Jacob manages to steal my breath away but I calm myself, my eyes sway to his muscular toned body and I lick my lips as if they were dry. He gives me a knowing smirk and his eyes shine, indicating that his Alpha Lycan is close.
I look around the bathroom, it’s just the two of us, how did he manage to enter the city without getting spotted, and how the fuck is he so confident that he walked into the restaurant while my brother and two of his highest ranking wolves are there?
“Get out,” I growl.
“No,” He says calmly.
“My brother is here, all I have to do is scream and they will rush here to kill you,” I threaten but he doesn’t flinch at my words. He approaches me and circles his arms around my waist, making tingles erupt on my flesh, the tingles I didn’t know I’d feel again after I was rejected.
I close my eyes in his embrace but soon remember where we are, I push him away and his confident face is back
“You won’t do that because a part of you won’t bear to see me in pain and besides, I committed no crime, we are not exactly in your pack,”
The idiot is right on both, I snarl and turn my back to him, and continue to retouch my face. I wash my hands and try to leave the bathroom but he pulls me back when I reach the doorway, I look up at him as I struggle out of his grip but the idiot has a grin on his lips, making him more handsome than ever!
“He locks the door and lifts me to the counter, my body is shaking for some reason and I get lost in his mesmerizing eyes as we are so close. His minty breath is fanning me and I slowly lean into him for a kiss but I withhold, he looks disappointed.
“I can’t stop thinking about you,” His voice is thick with lust for me and my pant is dripping wet, his touch against my skin is burning and I let it consume me, I’ve never felt this way before but I need to be rational, I try to protest but my voice comes out a pathetic moan and I hate myself for having such profound feelings for him already.
“Don’t you think about what happened last time at the hotel, Arya?” I do, every time I close my eyes, his full delicious lips taunt me, his breath against my neck in the passion of that night is all I want.
