*Chapter Eight*
Jasmine POV
For weeks now have watched that skunk flirt her way slowly into my man's life,acting all innocent. I know what she want. Aside from Cameron's good looks and all,deep down she's after his wealth.
Gold digger and a slut.
I spat,watching her from afar as she stepped into her room. Cameron needs me,even though he tries to deny it I know he misses me,my warmth,my caresses and the sweet sensation of my hands on his skin. I paused.
Since that drama with that whore,he barely looks at me. I can't believe he chose that worthless human over me. Be it his mate or not. The thought irritated me all the more as I marched my way to the Alpha's room.
Blair, my wolf kept on acting all cowardly, telling me it's a bad idea but I kept my ground. Even if she was his mate,what Cameron and I have gone through was far stronger than her.
I finally arrived at his door, giving it a knock as he ushered me in. I opened the door, allowing myself in.
There he was as gorgeous as ever,standing in front of a mirror,buttoning up his shirt. I could still see some of his bare skin which was yet to be done. It was a good thing I came..
"What is it Jasmine?" He asked,not looking at me,carrying on with his shirt.
I stood there, I wasn't going to waste this chance. I came closer as he swooped around the room getting his things in order for his meeting at the White Wolf's pack. I came closer from his back with my hands landing on his body.
Immediately, I could feel his whole body stiffened.
I smirked,exactly where I want him to be. I eased up a little as he turned to face me.His eyes unreadable but I could swear he was enjoying this as much as I was.I continued with my fingers trailing every curve of his up to his bare skin.
Still he didn't say a word.
I smiled,bridging the gap between us until I was literally on him. I brought my face to his,teasing across him,just like he always liked it.
He still didn't object.
It made my heart flutter, I knew he still wanted me. I took the bold step coming closer at his lips when his words shocked the day light out of me.
"Are you done?" His unreadable expression suddenly turned cold with mixture of irritation and disgust.
I blinked twice,still thinking I heard wrong. "Baby," I cuddled sweetly.
"I warned you Jasmine, but still had the effrontery to come into my room with this stunt" His words getting sharper by the second.
"I.....Cameron I need you and I'm not going to let you go" I said determined mentally stomping my foot against the floor.
He moved calmly away from me,gathering the files on the table. "I'll pretend none of this happened,Get out"
What? I could feel my blood boiling and a solo song by Blair playing loudly in my head which titled 'I told you so'. I'm not taking this. "Cameron, what's wrong with you. You know you missed me,I don't understand what's wrong." I said,not minding my tone as I could feel growing anger in me.
And before I knew it,his hands was on me,not the way I wanted it though.
He clutched my neck tightly as I gasped for air. "Don't fucking tempt me Jasmine because I've been holding back in tearing you to pieces. How dare you! I am your bloody Alpha." He roared as Blair deserted me.
I squeaked, trying to speak when he slammed me further to the wall.
"Don't open that mouth of yours and listen carefully. Never repeat this again, just because I spent few nights with you doesn't give you any damn right to demand anything or assume there's an US. You do not own me" He shouted angrily.
I had never seen him this upset. Yes when the rogues and vampires involved but not like this. Thankfully the mind link was off or this would have been very embarrassing. Amidst my thoughts, a tear ran down my cheek.
I stared at him as he let me go. Feeling more anger and hatred envelop my heart.
I hated the wall that stood between us,the barrier that meant to break up apart.
That stuck up Luna. "It's because of her,right." My voice was shaky but that didn't stop me. "You said you didn't want a mate right,she doesn't belong here,she isn't one of us. How do you think she'll react when she finds out what we are."
And that was a mistake as he shot me a horrendous stare. I grew more terrified as he came closer.
"Jasmine,she's your Luna and my mate. I swear the next time you disrespect her,you are dead." His eyes where silver-golden,his voice so hard that it shook my gut,I could see his fangs slowly unraveling. Every piece of him was enraged.
He tried calming himself,moving farthest away before sighing "Get out" I composed my self to walk,pulling myself out of his room.
I stomped out feeling nothing but rage at that bitch. I needed to let it out and the only thing that could come to mind was teaching that willie human what happens when she gets in my way. I made my way to her room,jerking open the door but she wasn't there.
That didn't stop me,so I decided to play a little in her room before she came. It gave me great pleasure smashing her room,destroying everything thing there. Just in time she stepped in,i sized her up. A crooked smile blossomed on my lips making me wonder how well I'll enjoy smashing her up.
Davina's POV
It's been a wonderful morning, starting from the breaking of dawn without any nightmares. It made my day. I felt my bracelet dangling on my wrist probably trying to tell me it was at work,catching bad dreams. I smiled a little,seeing how Gabi tailed behind me. She said she had something to do later on today and she wouldn't be around for the rest of the day. She mentioned something about patrolling but when I asked her further what it meant she began stuttering. I got the clue,doesn't want me finding out,so I dropped it. We moved past Cam's room,the door a little opened but couldn't quite see a thing or get a glimpse of him. Maybe he already left. The thought of that arched my heart a little. He didn't even have the courtesy to say bye before leaving for his trip. A little birdie told me he had a meeting and wouldn't be around also.
Seems like no one really will be around. Mitch and Carter were also going with Cameron. Kaleb was going with Gabi for you know the 'patrolling'.
My attention slowly shifted to my slightly opened door. As we moved closer,I knew someone was in there. Sounds were emanating from the room,I swung the door opened to see her,Jasmine.
My eyes wandered around the room,eyeing every single thing which was out of place or shattered on the floor. Her gaze held mine.
She let out a devilish smile holding the only thing which was as a matter of fact still intact in the room. My sculpted vase.
It was Gabi's, she had made it for me the week I moved in. I can't deny it it held a place in my heart. That was the ever real gift I've received for the longest of time. My eyes trailed back to her. I knew what she was thinking and so did the awe Gabi.
This insignificant thing was again having a tantrum and I had no plan in taking a part. She kept on glaring with her devilish smirk ever growing on her lips.
What now? I couldn't help but wonder.
Maybe another trouble in Paradise. I thought.
There was no denying something was between Cameron and her.
I mean our first encounter pretty much did the explaining. Although I didn't see what's Cameron saw in her.
'A jealous nerve' My inner thought teased as I threw her under the bus. This phantom was definitely expecting something.
"What's the matter with you?" I could hear Gabi saying as the nut case didn't blink.
She probably expected me to throw a childish fit as she did,or pull her hair out like in the movies, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of that.
Whatever was going on between the Egocentric King and the Queen of the Asylum was definitely not my business.
After what seemed like some seconds, she dropped the vase, it shattered at it's own sound.
It got to me but I didn't plan on sinking so low as she did,especially not loosing my control. It's was a good day after all... But she was testing my patience and unfortunately for her,she overdid it.
Davina's POV Infuriated,I threw Jasmine a gruesome glare,there were so many turns this situation could go and i wasn't on going with violence. And with a final look I turned around exiting from the room."Hey worthless Human" She snapped calling at me but I kept on walking out of the room down the hall.I could hear a tapped heel chasing after me. Still didn't give a damn. Gabi was obviously trying to subdue her which I knew she was failing. Not until I felt a hand grip my wrist,forcefully pulling me around. My eyes widened. Not at the psycho who stood right in front of me. But at the loosed beads which seemed to be escaping, bouncing around as each went their separate way,yelling for freedom. My bracelet. I stood there,frozen. I could feel my elevated breath. My mind jumped in confusion. It was my shield, it covered me and now gone. I was sure Gabi knew the turn in which things were going as she came beside me telling me it's okay,not to get upset. She knew to some extent how s
Davina's POVMy heart pounded heavily as I could feel him on me. I was left utterly speechless, noticing him drifting closer to me. His fingers rummage softly on my lips sending waves of shivers on my entire skin. I had never felt this way before, never.
Third person's POVThe wind was restless and so was Davina who paced around in her all tidy room. She was too scared to go back to sleep after the insane dream she had. She grew closer to the window staring down at nothingness as the dark enveloped outside. Gabi wasn't back and neither was everyone else. She couldn't help herself but think about Cameron and all that transpired within those four corner walls. And that was another issue keeping her up. With each passing day,she could feel herself getting drawn to Cameron. That's not
Cameron's POVIt's was indeed a crappy long day. The meeting with the Council was far from over. They kept on going around on the same words. I glanced at my wristwatch it was already late. So late in fact. And I was getting tired. They were all concerned and I understood why. The rogues were growing out of hand and the unwelcomed visitors we've been having wasn't doing any good either.Fledglings.It was damn obvious they had a master. Who was hell bent on getting
Davina's POV.I quickly pulled off my clothes,racing under the shower as I let the water drain from my head down. It was refreshing,but not close to the run I had with Gabi. It's just a week now after the revelation. A stressful week at that. I have learnt a lot about them like the good and bad that came along been a werewolf. They also have a some kind of mental telephone service they call 'mindlink' which explained a lot,how Gabi would say Cameron wanted to see me and I'll ask how she knew,she'll reply with a 'He just sent me a text'.Speaking of Cam
Unknown person POVThe doors flew open in haste,Master Darwin stalked inside the ever dark and unfeeling lair of a room,his squinted his eyes, using his powers to unravel the devil who sat levitated at the centre."Did it go well?" Master Darwin's accent flourished the room,his breath alone brought thousands grovelling to their feet but this one,this devil before him was an exception. Landon tailed behind, giving a length distance from his master.The devil dressed in dark clothes, a cloak above his head, he gave a light tilt to his jaw,eyes shut as night. "I assume so" His voice soft but held a long strain of darkness. "I prepared the poison delicately and sent it along with them" He picked his words carefully. "No one can break it spell,except in weeks of course" He had a bit of pride dangling on his words but his face still and frigid as cold.A smile penetrated the croaked lips of Master Darwin. "Good, it will give us enough time as little Cam. and hi
Cameron's POV.My eyes forced itself opened,wandering around recognizing my room. I slowly got up,feeling no pain but like I had been hit with loads of oversized rocks. My nose,sniffed the air and boy,I liked what I smelled. 'An inebriating vanilla scent'. She was here. 'Mate' Vittorio said excitedly, b
Davina's POVI was laughing. It was the happiest day of my life. The sun was shining, I was in my favorite short peach dress. And I was about to taste the best cookies prepared by mother. I couldn't wait.The best thing about birthday's is,it's just for you. You are the queen of the day and I always loved it."Davina" I heard Mother's call,she was in the kitchen coming to the dinette. She held a pan of freshly baked cookies. Just my favorite.
Third person's point of view Ten years later It's been ten year since the eldest child of Cameron and Davina was stolen. It's also been ten years since the war, and the attacks and massacres on Packs and Covens have been reduced. The remaining Vampire Kings ensured peace by enacting rules in their kingdoms and on their vampires to keep serenity and most importantly to ensure the safety of humans. During this ten years, Alpha Cameron helped other Packs get back on their feet. Those Packs that was affected by Darwin's attacks were rebuilt and Packs whose Alpha and family died were succeeded by their Betas. Alpha Cameron also helped several Packs and Covens with finances, trainings and infrastructures. He ensured none was lacking. The magical world remained nothing but midnight stories and fantasies to the human world. The Crescent Moon's Pack expanded it's borders and gained more territorial lands. Four more mansions were built few distance from each
Cameron's point of view The war was over. We attained victory. Darwin and his armies lifeless bodies were scattered in our territory, and also that of Rowena and her witches, even the pathetic traitor, Alpha Henry was killed during the war. Mitch's words rang in my head, but I couldn't even be ecstatic. I couldn't be happy for our victory even if I wanted to. Atleast not right now. Not when my mate is in that state. Luckily, the Elders and Alpha Dimitri were still around, they were kind enough to take care of things in my absence. It's been exactly an hour since Rhona and the Pack's head doctor asked me out of the room to tend to my mate and there's still no word. The Pack is well aware of their Luna's condition, they've been making prayers to whosoever is up there for my mate and pup recovery. I was still sitting in front of the infirmary door where my mate was being looked after when I picked up a chaotic stir in the air, followed by fast heartbeats. Without thinking twic
Davina's point of view I breathed in calmly. I was near the clearing field where we waited for Rowena. I could hear the swift movements of the enemy armies. They kept drawing closer and closer. I closed my eyes, breathing in the nature's magic coming from the earth, the air and the blood moon hanging up. The fast movements of Darwin's armies drummed my ears as I could feel their stench in my nose. They were almost onto me. I knew it was time. I pulled my hands mid-air, my fingers dancing, swaying to the rhythm of the concentrated magic around me. And in an instant, I snapped my hands watching the armies in sight drop dead on the ground from the snapping of their necks. I smiled, turning to the south of where I stood. I did the same when the enemy armies were in sight. I had positioned at the north direction, when an overpowering wave of magic ran through me. It caused me to loose my balance and stumble on the bloody dirt on th
Rhona's point of view We all stared blankly at the night's darkness, gazing up at the sky. It was a full Moon already, soon it'll become a blood moon due to the Lunar eclipse. A thundering growl echoed. It was Alpha Cameron. It was meant to inform everyone the war is almost at our door. I turned to the witches, nodding at them, everyone knew exactly what to do. Those who weren't fighting in the war had made their way to the underground bunkers and it has been concealed to protect them. I gazed at the sky once more, then a gentle but fierce wind blew to the point it shook me. I gazed around when the Luna met with me. "The wind was blowing from the northeast. This isn't good. Something big is coming our way. A storm that will destroy us all" There was a shivering in my bones. "What is it? You don't mean the war, do you?" She questioned. I wish I could tell her more.
Cameron's point of view My hands rested firmly on the railings of the second floor. We were at the mansion. Even from a mile away, one could feel the vibrations from the Packhouse and around the territory. I curled my lips into a smile, it was nice seeing so many people from different supernatural root in one place, united. I loved the view from up here. Suddenly a sick shiver ran down my spine and Vittorio felt it more. I exhaled, exhausted. It was hard being optimistic, shouldering so many burden while still giving hope. Truthfully,I was worried about the war. It was the last day already, and in few more hours we will battle for our lives and existence. I couldn't help but be worried. This was Rowena we were talking about, she has been preparing for this moment almost her entire life and I'm worried. I feel something terrible was going to happen, even though we were prepared for this war. Suddenly
Cameron's point of view I sipped from the cup of coffee on my table. My bloodshot red eyes kept going through some of the Company's business files Travis emailed over that needed my attention. After I was done I looked into the Pack's business I need to attend to under the Pack's name. Like the Pack's high school which needed a new curriculum, I also needed to visit the new Pack's hospital that has just been constructed. I was done signing the cheques needed for the Pack's finances. I stretched out from my seat, looking deep into the forest. Vittorio have been itching for a run, and temptingly that sounded nice. I rubbed my chin, decisively. It was pitch dark outside but I could still hear the loud noises coming from outside the mansion walls. The clashing of metals, howling of wolves, even the smell of the sweat. It's been four days already, and so far so good we've began training for the war
Cameron's point of view We informed the Circle and the Elders of the good news. They were all happy for us, regardless of the looming threat. A child is always blessing. After I announced the good news, I mindlinked every high ranking wolf in the Pack for a meeting at my office. I also called the head witch, Rhona and also the vampire head Declan and some ranking vampire members in the East side of the Pack's territory. I met up with Mitch and Carter. "Send word to the village at the West border. John, Pablo, and the rest should be present for the meeting" Carter nodded and left right away. The village was at the West border of the Pack's territory where retired wolves who just want to relax and live their life with their mates lived. Exactly five minutes later, I walked into my office with Mitch. It was already filled. Everyone was present, down to the ex- officials that were in the West border of
Cameron's point of view I paced back and forth in my office. I bet it's been an hour or fucking more since Rhona and Vera literally walked me out of my room. I couldn't stand the cringing fear that kept devouring me. My mind keep having all sort of berserk thoughts and Vittorio is more hysterical than ever. The door to my office pulled open. It was Mitch. "Is Rhona out yet?" I queried. He shook negatively, making me curse under my breath. "What the fuck is going on?" I pulled my hair. "I honestly don't know. What was all that Cyrene talk about?" Mitch swerved. "I have no bloody clue about that and this was not the time to think about her" Something was wrong with Davina and that was more important. I could hear Mitch loud exhale. "You are right. Luna's safety comes first"
Cameron's point of view It was the first light of dawn and I was already present at the Gate of thrones. I couldn't sleep a wink last night, because I felt restlessly nervous. I kept wondering what Cyrene's vision was about. Cyrene was a powerful witch who was gifted with the ability to foresee the future. She was a member of the Circle made up of different supernatural kind there is. This was how we kept peace among ourselves. Cyrene could also scribe out prophesies. She was the one who saw the prophesy about the living descent of an Amnell witch, the bloodlines of the eight ancient witches of the French Quarters and my mate would bring an end to the Crescent curse that Gretchen placed on us. Whatever she says was indubitably the truth. I came along with my mate, Rhona, Mitch and Benjamin. We were all seated round the old ancient round table. "We are all present he
