Ana.

“Harder, Jace” I pant out, bracing myself for the next blow. However, my mate delivers a weak punch like he has been doing for the last hour.

“Seriously, babe?” I glare, tiredly slumping on the floor and he gives me an apologetic look.

“Ana, I am sorry, but I hate hurting you” My mate whispers, as he approaches me with a bottle of water. Jace kneels in front of me and gently wipes the sweat on my face. He is behaving as if this is some cruel punishment he is forced to deliver to me. Is it so hard to just assume I am one of the wolves he used to train in our previous pack?

The so-called training started yesterday and nothing has changed. I just realized he is not the right person to train me. I take a small sip from the water when he places the bottle on my l*ps. I am not even thirsty. How would I be when I haven’t done anything

strenuous?

“I understand, baby” I sigh, tracing his jaw with my index finger. I don’t miss how his b*dy slightly trembles due to my soft touch. It’s amazing how easily I affect him and I love it. “How about I ask the king’s beta’s son to train me? What was his name again?” I pretend to think and chuckle when the soft look in his eyes suddenly disappears as my mate releases a loud warning growl.

“No chance in hell. Only I will train you and no one else” My mate grabs the back of my head and I marvel at how easily he loses control just at the mention of another male wolf coming close to me. “You understand that Ana? No one is touching my mate” Jace whispers as his eyes flash black before becoming normal again.

“Then quit doing a sh it ty job and get the job done” I challenge staring into his darkening eyes. His breaths are ragged and the energy oozing from him causes my b*dy to tingle all over.

Jace is hot. And the mate bond makes everything intense and worse.

My mind starts to wander in dark places when my mate’s hungry eyes drop to my l*ps. His touch suddenly becomes hot and when Jace starts leaning forward, my breathing hitches as I wait for the long-awaited contact.

My mate takes his time to admire my face. His hold on me loosens and his thumb starts to rub delicate circles on my n*eck as it slowly inches towards the mark he gave me. “You know I love you right?” Jace whispers, softly glancing into my eyes. I know that. I can never mistake the loving look in his eyes.

“I am not perfect baby, but never second guess what I feel for you, Ana. It doesn’t matter

how deep the dark world swallows me, because I will always find my way to you. No matter what happens to me, I want you to know that my heart still sk ips when I see you. Promise me one thing” Jace whispers bringing me close to his face. There is completely no space between us. I can feel his heavy and quick breath on my face and it’s making me yearn for his addictive touch.

“What?” I whisper back, almost in a trance.

“Promise you will never give up on me, baby. You are the only person I can’t lose in this life. Promise”

“You know I will never Jace, I love you so much” I sincerely mumble and my mate sighs. offering me a slight smile which I return.

“Can I please k*ss you?” Jace asks and I nervously nod.

We haven’t done anything since he recovered and everything has been tense between us. However, the universe proves to be against us when our little boy barges into the training room and his eyes immediately find mine.

“Mommy” Liam rushes to us and when he sees his dad’s hands on me, I don’t know what crosses his mind because he scowls at Jace and starts to push him away. Way to ruin a moment Liam.

“Let go” Our son frowns and we both chuckle separating from each other. As if that is not enough, Liam lunges at his father in a fight in the name of protecting his mommy. I longingly stare at the laughing souls brawling on the floor and my heart swells with immense joy.

They all are my life.

“Mommy, did you see?” My son happily exclaims when Jace allows him to pin him on the floor. “I am stronger than Daddy” Liam happily giggles, as his eyes sparkle with pride. He will be a proud man.

“Yes, baby. You are the strongest boy I have ever met” I coo, picking him up mate’s b*dy.

from my

“Are you two ganging up on me?” Jace playfully acts hurt and I wink at him and curiously look back at my son. I told my dad to watch him and he wouldn’t be down here without a reason.

“Are you hungry? What did Grandpa say?” Liam’s happy movements instantly stop as he only stares at me with innocent eyes. I guess this only means he forgot.

‘Do you need anything, ‘dad?’ I try mind linking Noah but it doesn’t go through. I will just manually look for him.

“I will be back Jace, let me just take Liam back to my dad” I face my mate and he nods k*ssing Liam’s cheek.

“Put this on” Jace hands me his shirt and I laugh, reluctantly putting it on. I am in the workout clothes which are quite revealing for Jace’s preference.

The first place I decide to look for my dad is his study. When I miss him there, I figure he would be in his room so I just walk there with my little boy in my hold.

I should have knocked or just minded my own business because the sight I walk into, will forever bruise my mind.

A shirtless Noah is pinning a n*ked woman on the wall and the room is filled with a gross scent of their arousal.

F u ck.

I quickly shut the door and run with my confused boy back to his room.

Goddess! I should be careful now that he is mated. I need to avoid his room and office

at all costs.

However, Liam’s door opens and a disheveled Noah slowly walks. Unlike earlier, he is dressed and I sigh in relief and silently watch him. Should I apologize for ruining his

moment?

“Baby, I am sorry..I..” Noah breaks the chain of my thoughts when he talks first.

“No. I should have knocked, Dad. It won’t happen again” I quickly cut him short and he sighs sitting beside Liam and me.

“I am conflicted. A part of me wants to reject her and another part wants me to give this a shot. Maya never wanted me because, to her, I was not worthy. Thank you for showing up to stop us. I need time to observe her and I will only acknowledge her as my mate when you take over the throne, to avoid another power-hungry woman trying to disrupt the peaceful kingdom”

“Is that how you see me?” The woman my dad was with walks through the door and we share worried glances with Noah.

Busted.
