Jasmine moved her head a little, stirring from her sleep. Her body felt heavy, but she had actually not slept all night, working at the club downtown in order to scrap up money to move out again.She had frequent attackers at her apartment, and for the fourth time in the last six months, she had to move out again. The attackers don't even seem to realize she is an orphaned teenager who needed to work for literally everything, they just kept attacking.With a small sigh, she raised her head and leaned back on her chair. She had used a free class time to sleep, and hadn't really woken up all through. It seemed she had slept through another class entirely.She stretched, and her eyes fell around the empty class. She was the only one in it and she immediately sprang up, her eyes widening.Suddenly, she heard a small shuffle of feet, and she looked up.The man in front of her was someone she had never seen before. Blonde, beautiful hair that tied up behind him, sharp jaw lines and piercing gray eyes. He wore a pristine white shirt that was opened three buttons down, a bit too scandalous for what he appeared to be; a teacher. Especially when he had a body like that.She tore her gaze away from him, and immediately packed up, then started to walk out. Thinking it would be too impolite, she turned to him, and mumbled a few pleasantries.He looked up at her, and for some reason, her heart beat picked up. She found herself stopping contrary to her plans, and she managed to swallow.He didn't say a word for some tine, and she managed a small smile, as her eyes dropped to the constellation tattoo that peeked on the side of his neck, and she found herself wanting to see where the tattoo ended."Hello, Jasmine."Her eyes moved back to his face, just as his dropped to the shining black pendant on her chest, and he smiled up at her again.Mate.Related chapters
Beauty and the Beasts The Ritual
Alpha Zane Atlantis watched the pack from below, his long finger slowly grazing his chin. Here was the pack he had fought all his life for, and for some time, he just couldn't grow used to the peace. He had gotten so accustomed to war, the peace and gaiety seemed almost boring.For the serenity and the good of his pack, however, he knew not to go out there to cause trouble. With a small sigh, he drew back from the large balcony, then swiftly removed the unbuttoned coat he had been wearing.He mostly wore that. Black unbuttoned coats that gave a tantalizing view of his toned abs, and his beautiful broad chest, and the beginnings of a manly waist.Now, he was just completely shirtless, his dark blonde hair falling to the tips of his shoulders. He pulled it up to a bun, and closed his eyes for a few seconds."Brother," a voice came, and he turned to the new comer.His Beta and younger brother, Kane Atlantis was standing by the door, his hands clasped respectfully in front of him. Even th

Jasmine watched the mess of shattered glass and the wood around her room. Her hand balanced on her forehead, her lips parted in slight exasperation. Why did it seem like the bad luck of the world was descended on her?It hadn't even been a month since she had had to move from her old home because of the incessant attacks, especially at night. She had long given up on sleep, and the last time she saw peace was a memory she had forgotten.Every night was the same story. Once it was twelve, the knocks on her door would start, jolting her from whatever she was doing, be it lying around or trying to work on something.She never did open up, and she honestly wondered what would happen if she someday did. Her curiosity was never great enough to get her to do it, though.They would start knocking on every window of the house, creating a rhythm that haunted her even in broad daylight, while others rapidly tried to open the door knob at insane speed.Like last night. The window just above her h

Alpha Zane's eyes flickered open, his grey eyes swiftly moving around the room, till he came to a slow focus on Beta Kane's desperate eyes."Alpha. You are awake.""Kane." he said, a small breath escaping his lips and he pulled himself to a sitting position. His cloak was still wrapped around him, but the right shoulder was off, exposing the constellation tattoo that extended from his upper arm to his neck, and stopped just before his ear lobe. Standing out was Polaris, the northern star, the star his pack had been named after."How do you feel, brother?" Kane asked, coming closer. Seeing how Alpha Zane had addressed him by his name, he knew he didn't have to keep the hierarchical distance."Light," Alpha Zane answered, stretching his neck. He flipped his legs over the bed, his feet balancing on the floor as he stood to his full height."In a good way or a bad way?" Kane asked, humor in his eyes from seeing Alpha Zane's obvious lack of his wolf."In a way that I know I should go get m

Jasmine swallowed hard, then slowly extended her hand to him. He didn't wait for her to fully reach out to him, and he held her hand in his soft, yet firm grip, his smile faltering a little as he felt her hand.She smiled, a small, hesitant smile, then pulled her hand away from him."Thanks," she said, turning to examine the house. It was slowly coming to form with the new windows, and she heaved a small sigh of relief."You can pay me with dinner, right?" he asked, his voice a small whisper.She turned back to him, then immediately nodded. "Tomorrow after school. I will make sure to treat you."He smiled again, then went back to rest on his car, his eyes fixed on her."So...your parents? No one seems to be here."She swallowed hard. "They were murdered."His eyes widened. "I am..so sorry to hear that, Jasmine. It must have been so hard."She shrugged, blinking hard. "It is actually fine. it was so long ago."He nodded and leaned back again, and they watched the sun set in silence, he

Jasmine let her hands skim over the pendant, her breath hitching in her throat. She could remember the sharp pain she had felt from it the other day too, and it unnerved her. The pendant was...She shook her head. It was probably just a product of her own imagination, nothing else. She swallowed, then immediately went back to the shower.The first class was tiring, and amidst Andrew trying to catch her attention, she found herself slowly drifting to sleep. With a small huff, she propped up a book, then lay behind it, closing her eyes.Zane followed the middle aged woman, Mrs. James to the class he would now head, his eyes thin. He was almost sure the girl from last night could be the girl he had been searching for. But what was he to find her with? Her hair?He walked in to the class behind her, and it immediately fell silent."Listen up, class! Mr. Zane Atlantis here is going to be your new teacher. He is a professor, and I hope you will be able to lean from him.""Oh, he can teach m

The rest of the classes passed by in a kind of blur for Jasmine, as she kept up looking to Zane. Sometimes, their eyes met, and maybe it was just her imagination, but it felt like in those little instances, her body felt a lot warmer.She swallowed, shaking the idea out of her head. It was absurd. "Jasmine?"She slowly turned. She had forgotten all about Andrew, and she swallowed. "Oh, Andrew.""You sound like you forgot about me."She immediately shook her head. "No, its just...""Distracted?" He brought his hand to move her hair away, and her breath hitched at the slightest contact.Weirdly, she moved her eyes a little, and Zane was looking through some papers, not noticing them.They three were the only ones left in class, and Zane didn't seem to have any intention of leaving soon."What are you doing?"Andrew smiled, then dropped his hand. "Nothing. I wanted to ask you something."Jasmine nodded slowly. "Yeah?""Well...there is going to be a function of my parents. It's all the

Jasmine passed the comb through her hair one last time, then watched the mirror. She wasn't quite sure why she was making an effort today, but she knew it had something to do with the new neighbour. She immediately shook her head. Maybe she should let herself become a full adult before hitting on a man like that, but she couldn't help wanting to be noticed by him. She swallowed, then put the hair up, tying it into a high ponytail. She was wearing a dress, and she watched herself in the mirror again. She rarely wore dresses and she thought she could just let it wait till her 18th birthday by the end of the week.She swallowed and walked out, knowing if she spent one more minute in the house she would find herself running to change, and she was already late.She had just closed the door when she heard a voice behind her."You're late." She turned swiftly, and Zane was standing close to his car, an amused look on his face. He wore an all black ensemble this time around, his shirt left

Zane passed his hand through his hair once, his eyes thinning. He smelled of blood, the boy who hung around Jasmine. And he seemed to know him too. It was obvious."Damn it," he cussed under his breath, his eyes closing briefly. That hug hurt him more than anything else, and wished time would run faster, till she was a legal adult. Till he had all the right in the world to claim her.Jasmine smiled as Andrew leaned on her shoulder, his eyes coming to a close."Are you comfortable that way?"He nodded. "You are warm."She nodded. "Are you going to the hospital later? After school?""I would rather not. I would rather spend a bit of time here. With my friend."He leaned away, his eyes carrying a kind of slow burn intensity. It made Jasmine's breath hitch a little, but she said nothing, wondering why she suddenly thought of Zane.She swallowed just as he brought his hand to cup her right cheek, causing her to look up to him."You would stay with me, won't you?"She swallowed, but before

Beauty and the Beasts Happy Birthday, Jasmine
Zane gave a small chuckle. "You have barely turned eighteen. I am not a predator."She looked up to him. "Is that the only reason? Or because you see me as a child who you absolutely..."He gave a smile. "You are attracted to me because I am older. Take some time for yourself."Jasmine swallowed. "You...will you wait for me?"He raised a brow. "You have something that belongs to me." He wanted to rephrase it so bad. Tell her that her, in entirety, body, soul, and matebonds, belonged to him. But he kept it to himself. In as much as she wanted him now, he knew better than to immediately indulge. He didn't want a fleeting attraction.He needed to slowly work on her, like a work of art, mould her to want only him, carve her so she could only accommodate him. It was the perfect thing to do. She was, according to the moon goddess, his own.As long as he kept her away from the bloodsuckers, she would be completely safe, and he would have all the time in the world to do whatever he wanted.Sl
Beauty and the Beasts Eighteen
"Where are you taking me?" Jasmine asked after a while of driving in silence.Zane had seemed very intent on not saying a single word to her, and she had tried to hold up with the silence too. But the more she tried, the more guilt rushed through her, and she had finally given up."I don't know either." He sighed as it left his lips, then suddenly brought the car to a stop.He turned to Jasmine, who was surprised, her eyes wide, one hand stretched to the car dashboard to stop her from darting forward."What are you doing?" He slowly turned to her, his back resting on the door. "Do you want me to apologize?""For what?""For earlier. Or what would you want? An explanation?"Jasmine sat back. "I am not a child. I would have known how to protect myself had Andrew...""He beat that guy up like that, you think you stand a chance?"Jasmine swallowed, knowing how right he really was. "But I...""Look at me, Jasmine."She turned slowly, and she swallowed, her eyes taking in his deep grey eye
Beauty and the Beasts Jealousy
Jasmine immediately moved away from Andrew, her eyes wide. "Zane. I..I mean, Sir. You are here."Zane's eyes raised up to Andrew, who was now standing one step behind Jasmine, his eyes thin, and a little sinister."What are you doing?" Zane asked again, forgetting his teacher persona for a minute.She swallowed hard. "Uhmm...Andrew was hurt last night and..."He didn't wait to finish hearing it, before he walked to her, grabbing her hand. She gave a small yelp as one hand came over the towel. "Zane, it was...""How are you comfortable with that guy, the both of you alone in here? Look at what you are wearing!"Jasmine swallowed, fully aware of Zane's point. She was on a towel, and Andrew was capable of anything. At least, from what she had seen.But he didn't. That was what mattered. He had done nothing."He didn't do anything.""How does it matter? Are you waiting for him to? You are coming with me."Suddenly, Andrew held on to her other hand, stopping Zane from pulling her away. "
Beauty and the Beasts Impending Distractions
Jasmine opened the door to her home, the darkness meeting her eyes. She gave a small sigh as she walked to the single couch, then lay on it, a small smile taking over her lips. Saturday was just a day away, and then she would be able to work. Not just that, she would be legal. She tried to think of only the positive things that could happen on this particular birthday It gave her crazy ideas, most that ran along Zane Atlantis. She gave a small sigh and leaned back on the couch, pushing Andrew and the entire assault thing out of her mind. It wouldn't help to think of it now.She even contemplated skipping school the next day, which would be friday, because she didn't think she could deal with it all.Suddenly, her phone rang, and she stood up. It was in her bag, and she stretched to it, then removed the phone.Andrew.She swallowed, then slowly kept it back, her eyes closing. She didn't want to think of Andrew. But then the phone kept ringing, and ringing so hard, she finally decided t
Beauty and the Beasts Diluted Blood
Jasmine slowly walked into the hallways, her head down. She had heard the news, it was everywhere. Ian had been found dead in a lonely, deserted road. It wasn't possible he had gone there since he was still recovering fron the injuries Andrew gave him, and everyone has come to be alerted. They say it is a wild animal, but everyone at school believes otherwise."How could he go that far?""What is new about joking around with a girl? What did he say so bad that he had to kill him?""That's her. She is the girl.""She isn't even that pretty..."Jasmine swallowed, her hands clenched into fists as she walked down to the row of lockers. Andrew was standing in front of hers, his back to it, one leg propped up so his foot was flat out on the wall.She lowered her head, then took a step further, deciding to not open the locker at all."Do you believe it too?" Andrew suddenly asked, turning to her. He was wearing a hood, and when she turned, she could see how sunken his eyes were."We...we have
Beauty and the Beasts Losing Control
Zane rested on his car, his hands folding in front of him. He watched the door with intent, and once it opened, he lifted himself off the car and started to open the door."We ran into each other again," Jasmine said, trying to force her hair into a ponytail.He turned back, his expression clueless, then nodded. "Sure. I will drop you."She nodded gratefully and went to the passenger seat as he hopped in beside her."You had a good night's sleep?" she asked, turning slightly to him.He nodded. "Yes and you?""Well, I have been pretty excited for Saturday."His brows furrowed. "Saturday?"She nodded, her ponytail bouncing behind her. "I am turning eighteen then."He nodded, a wave of realization hitting him. He was excited for it too. Hell, more than she was."I bet you are. Being legal comes with a whole lot of advantages."She nodded, laughing. "At least, I can work wherever."He snickered a little, then shook his head. The rest of the ride, they talked about anything she wanted to t
