~Thea

Perhaps I would have been mad by the fact that Jasper blatantly refused to tell me anything about what I had just witnessed, had I not been so tried. The moment the bed was in my line of sight, I forgot Jasper would be sleeping next to me.

The last thing I remember, was face planting into the softest of pillows.

When I awoke the next morning, Jasper was dead asleep beside me. His torso was magnificently bare, and admittedly, I took a few moments to admire the smoothness of the perfectly sculpted muscles I am mockingly itching to touch with my bare fingers.

The sun is rising, rays going to work on the thickly frosted windows, the remnants dripping down the window in the form of liquid lit by the encroaching daylight.

Gentle oranges and subtle pinks dance across Jasper's face. His eyelashes brushing against his cheeks, his lips partly open. The bed sheet twists around his limbs, a contrast to his sun kissed skin. An Alpha, in a vulnerable position.

I slip out of bed, wishing

    ~TheaJust seeing him sent an entire wall of emotion at me. His back was turned to me, but I knew it was him without a single doubt. The man I thought would once be my mate, but who actually wanted to sacrifice me. "We need to go," Jasper says quickly, seeing Luca at the same time as I did.He grabbed my hand, dragging me toward Aria's house, which was luckily right there. My feet slugged through the snow, my burning limbs fighting against the drag. Jasper had no problem disrupting the snow around us, but it was mildly heartbreaking to see the beautifully resting fluff get tainted by our footprints.I kept turning back as we jogged across Aria's lawn, making sure Luca and his men hadn't turned around to see us. Because if he sees us...Everything would have been for nothing.Don't let him find me. He can't find me. If he finds me, I am dead."How does he know we came to the Love Pack?" I question frantically, once Jasper had closed the door behind us, but not before checking Luca was

    ~Thea Stunned, I sat, frozen to the seat.Jasper clambers out the car, slamming the door behind him. Instantly, the darkness of the freshly settled night swallows him whole, leaving me alone, only illuminated by the car light above my head.The weight on the car roof is obvious, by the slight intents made on both the right and left side. Something big is above me, and I don't even want to consider what it might be.Trying my best to catch a glimpse of where Jasper had gone, I try smother the spike of fear that bubbles in my stomach. Instead of being brave, I lean over and lock every car door, promising I would only let Jasper in.A few moments passed us by. Each one was spent with my hands on my lap, fiddling with the empty chip back. Whatever was on the roof is now gone. I can tell because the car doesn't shake and creak like it had done before. Had Jasper taken care of it? Suddenly something hit the window right by my face. I wasn't looking at it, because I was too busy seeing if

    ~TheaMy eyes followed the road that was almost endless, stretching miles straight, carving an obvious line through the thickness of trees. This place is an entire village, a settlement. Average sized and styled homes stand close to each other, placed to conveniently face the road, that seems to lead into nowhere. It is all so...Domestic, normal. Something I haven't seen in what seems like a while."What is this place? I question.My bearings are way off. These trees aren't familiar, the sky is clouded over, and a soft fog seems to be dancing around the edges of the road. Something tells me this isn't on the map, or at least in any Pack."Some people call it a safe haven. A home between the Desire Pack, and the Love Pack," Jasper tells me, as I rub my eyes tiredly.My sleep was decent, and by the looks of it, the day is just starting again. Although, I have to admit that I could really do with another nap at least. "Why here?" I ask him. "Who lives here?"Jasper turns the car on aga

    ~TheaIt was raining when I woke up again.The window of my bedroom gave me a decent view of the forest. The branches of those pine trees swayed gently in the wind, suggesting a storm was rolling in, much to my dismay. Lately, I have been sick of dreary weather like this.The rain battered the window, as I changed. My clothing situation is starting to become an issue. Perhaps I need to harass Jasper into taking me shopping, since I only brought a few articles. Or maybe a washing machine would suffice.Wandering downstairs, I find Jasper was sitting in his living room, reading. He glanced up from the novel the moment I stepped into the room, before I closed it slowly."Good morning," he says warmly, setting the book down on the arm of the chair."What are you reading?" I ask, nodding at the book. I wish I still read as much as I used to, and by the looks of the amount of books Jasper owns, maybe he will let me borrow a few. And looking at the state of this town, I may just have a lot m

    ~TheaHis fingers were only inches from touching me. Had he touched me, I am not sure what would have happened. Was he advancing on the attraction between us? Was he going to pull me close and kiss me until I was out of breath? I had no idea...And I didn't get the opportunity to know, before someone slapped their hands down on my shoulders.The look on Jasper's face was what I saw first, as he retracted his hand. For a moment, it looked like he awoken from a trance, finally snapping back into reality. Then, he throws an angry look at the person behind me."Did I interrupt something?" I wanted to yell yes. Because that voice belonged to Tayten, and I admit it really did annoy me that I didn't find out what Jasper wanted. Now, he seems to have recovered his senses, and it seems as if he isn't going along with his plan suddenly. Jasper shook his head slowly. "What do you want?"Tayten moved around me until she was beside me, draping her arm over me. It seems to be her favourite thin

    ~TheaMaking a noise wasn't an option, as a hand slapped over my mouth, the other person used to keep my wrists together behind my back so I could hardly move. Being abducted or kidnapped was never something I had to worry about back in the Devotion Pack, so the unfamiliarity of it all stunned me into stiffness."You're not from around here, are you?" the man murmurs in my ear.My mind wanted me to do so many things. At the very least, it wanted me to lash out and defend myself in any way, so I could escape, but my body refused the command. Paralysed, this man has complete control over me until I snap out of my disorientation. Is this what this Pack is like? Are they all so sexually deprived, they have to kidnap woman to satisfy them?Suddenly, my body kicks into gear. Not only was it the idea of what could come from this situation, but the idea of not doing anything to stop it. I've been strong since the moment I decided to leave my home and follow Jasper. Not once have I broken dow

    ~TheaWe made it back to Jasper's car, a silence stretching between us.With him by my side, not a single person even glanced at me, let alone snuck me a sly comment, or grabbed at me. Jasper was like a walking wall of security, ensuring unknowingly, that no one tried anything with me."Where did you go?" Jasper decides to ask, once we are in his car, drowning out most of the street noise and tacky shop music.I made the decision moments ago not to tell him about the man in the alleyway, or the man in the bar. Both were creepy and something I want to forget, and never have to deal with again in my life. This Pack is too much for me, and I want out right now. "Just a bar to think. I overreacted about my Uncle, or lack thereof. I just don't understand who would do that," I say, my comment making Jasper sigh. Even though I can't read minds, It is fairly obvious that Jasper wonders the same thing.Clearly, someone had used magic to find where I was staying with Jasper, and send a note th

    ~Thea"What a pleasant surprise," Asher says delicately. "What did I do to deserve the Alpha of Devotion hand delivering me such a beautiful young lady?Surprised, I catch Jasper's gaze for some sort of assistance in this situation. Imagine if I turned and slapped him for his words, and his unwanted touch; an Alpha. Surely some kind of consequence would ensue. So instead, I stay tense, feeling every inch of his fingers against me. Jasper, however, chuckles. "You really have quite the humour."Asher winks at me, but I look away. His golden eyes are taunting, and I have to admit, unnerving. Jasper steps forward, grabbing the cloth of my shirt, gently yanking me toward him, making Asher's hand fall away. Something about the movement didn't seem as innocent as Jasper made it out to be."I haven't seen you in quite some time, Alpha. As always, it's a pleasure," Asher says, shaking hands with him. Then, his gaze flickers to mine. "And this one? She belong to you?"Instantly, I frown at

    ~Jasper's "How the hell did you manage to get yourself in this situation?"Sighing deeply, I brace my hands against the table, trying to hold myself back from doing something irrational. Thea has been missing for over eight hour now, and we have no leads as to where Luca may have taken her. At this point, he could have taken her to any Pack, and we are still here in the Love Pack,.My jaw clenched. The internal battle I've committed to is weakening, but I won't stop for a second, until I'm with Thea again. I won't eat. I won't sleep."I was trying to be a good mate," I mutter, raising my gaze to his own. "How was I supposed to know this would happen?"The Alpha of Vengeance stood in front of me. Aside from me, he one of the oldest Alpha's that lives today. Kaden and I never used to hold the best relationship, but our disagreements have recently been resolved, and I now find him a valuable friend. With what has just happened, I believe he may be the only one who can assist me."So wha

    ~TheaLuckily for me, it wasn't snowing when I ventured outside. Already, from the moment I stepped out of Malik's home, I felt better. Just breathing in the crisp air, letting it filter all my thoughts thoroughly was a relief, and for the first time in awhile, my muscles began to relax, despite the difficulty of pushing through the snow on Malik's lawn. If I can just spend a few minutes walking around, then I can go back and hear Jasper out.Quite frankly, my mind had found it hard to fathom the fact that Jasper is my mate. An Alpha? My rational mind passes many things off as coincidence, but I know for a fact, that this is Fate.And now I know the true reason why he wanted me to escape so badly.By the time I reach the streets of the Love Pack, snow has seeped into my shoes, and realisation has hit that maybe the coat I grabbed isn't enough. At least the struggles through the snow had warmed me up enough to actually make my legs work. Everybody else that I walk past seem unfazed by

    ~TheaThere is no doubting, that everything has changed. That I am no longer how I was yesterday.Jasper stood behind me, staring into the mirror as I did. Something was so common between us, there is no mistaking it. Our eyes. Just looking at it made me want to claw my eyes out. That deep-set violet shade had taken over my once hazel eyes, infecting me with the colour I had admired about Jasper. Now it belongs to me too, although, it hardly amounts to what I see in Jasper's eyes. His are alight and dazzling, vivid with colour. Mine are still bland and rather lifeless.Still, there is an uncanny resemblance, which suggests that I'm not actually alive still. I'm not dead either. I'm just a walking body without beating heart."I'm a Phantom," I breath, running my fingertips down my cheek, that is an awful transparent colour. Perhaps if I had ever seen a dead person, I could relate myself to them, but Jasper is the closest I have gotten, and he is like a walking masterpiece.Jasper move

    ~TheaMy eyes closed at the same time the water closed around my face.The warmth of the water and the feel of Jasper's hands on my shoulders did nothing to quell the fright the instantly consumed me. My body wanted to retaliate, as my last gulp of air bubbles out of my mouth. The feeling was nothing like I had felt before, as I felt water slip between my lips, the water like a hand on my neck, slowly strangling the life out of me.Forcing my eyes open, I could see the shadow of Jasper looming over me, as he held my shoulders back against the bottom of the tub. I trust him...I have no choice.Involuntarily, as a sudden surge of fright for the lack of breath I was getting hit, my legs jerked up, my body convulsing in protest. The water stung my eyes, as I tried to see Jasper, to try to beg him to stop. Doubts ran through my mind, hurdling all the logic easily. This isn't comfortable...This isn't like falling asleep.Blinking through the water, I notice what is probably Malik, coming fo

    ~Thea I had always told myself that I wouldn't find my mate. There was an entire part of me that had accepted the fact that I would never feel those sparks, or be able to spend the rest of my life with someone I was made for. And there was no way I thought that my mate would ever be an Alpha. Let alone the Alpha of Devotion.However, there was no denying what was going on, with Jasper's hands cradling my face, his lips on mine...There were sparks there, and the undeniable voice in my head screaming, he's your mate!Stunned, I was still, trying to fathom the feeling. Sparks were a feeling I couldn't put words to. They spread from his hands, through his lips, right across my body, weakening my limbs, so I was completely open to the feeling. The tiny electric like jolts were almost relaxing, but at the exact same time, they enlightened a foreign feeling inside me.It was second nature, as I began kissing back, taking a part of me that controlled my conscious by surprise, but I shunned

    ~TheaInside the cabin was just as inviting as the outside. It was the small, the furnishings were subtle, and the entire place almost seemed to bundle you up in the fireplace-which Jasper's magic lit-warm embrace.The moment Jasper ushered me inside, I was awed by the entire thing. With wooden interior beams on the ceiling, that match what might suffice as wallpaper, the small space seemed warm, friendly, and inviting. Despite my wariness of what Jasper called faux, the rug on the floor looked softer than silk.Jasper took my jacket, as I shrugged it off. "And Malik, of all people created this?"The Alpha chuckled. He knew what Malik was like, and if I told him about the girl-Vanessa, or whatever her name is-then I'm sure he wouldn't be surprised. I just found it ironic that the Alpha of Love decided to spend his time with beautiful women warming his bed, rather than actually looking for his mate.I expected him, of all people, to hunt the entire land for her. "He did. There is a ro

    ~TheaJasper gave me some space, which I spent in the bathroom trying to make myself look nice. He promised me, that we would be going out, to make my last day alive good for me. I combed my hair through with my fingers, patting down the strands that stuck out in places. If I had a tie, I maybe would have braided my hair. Instead, I pushed it over my shoulders, and hoped it looked somewhat decent. My clothes were rumpled, but I didn't have Jasper's magic to conjure up clothes, and I wasn't about to ask him for a pretty dress or something.This will do. I can still wear clothes when I'm a Phantom.I refused to think about what was going to happen tomorrow. Today was all I could think about, as well as Jasper's enticing promise about something special tonight. I had no idea what it was, but he told me that it had to do with a secret he's been keeping.My insistent curiosity is going to keep me on edge about it all day, I know it.Rinsing my face, I wash the dried tears from my cheeks.

    ~TheaJasper paced in front of me.I sat on the edge of the bed, my leg stretched out in front of me. The blanket was still wrapped around my waist, but honestly, I don't care anymore. Too many things swim in my mind, trying to fit somewhere, but it was failing, leaving me feeling empty, and numb."I don't want to die," I say softly, watching Jasper as he thinks.Malik had given us some space to talk things through, to discuss how Jasper was going to end my life. However, the moment we were left alone, Jasper was starting to realise he was actually going to stop my heart from beating, and I realised this is really happening."I'm sorry to have dragged you into this mess," Jasper murmurs, finally coming to a stop. I've never seen him look so lost, so distraught in a situation. He isn't holding himself together as well as I have seen him do, and it doesn't help my jittering nerves.I sigh deeply, trying to get some breath into my lungs. "It's not your fault. It didn't, I would be dead b

    ~Thea"I-I...Me?"My hardly coherent stuttering didn't go unnoticed, in the way Malik smiled knowingly, and my cheeks reddened in response. Where has my brain gone? It seems to have melted under the heated gaze Malik assaults me with. The first flicker of salvation was like a knock on the back of my head with a very insistent fist. I've spent a lot of my life being intimidated by Luca, and I'm not about to show weakness like that in front of anyone again. Malik may be an Alpha, but I'm a woman who knows how to hold a gaze, and cover my emotions with an impassive cloth."Sorry you had to see that," he said coolly, standing back straight again. Clearly he was referring to Vanessa. "I'm sure you've been waiting for quite some time."My eyes narrow, as I respond a little too abruptly. "Not really."Malik watches me carefully, openly searching my face curiously. He was probably wondering what was behind the sudden change of tact, but I wasn't about to mention it. I knew what he was insinu
