Liam’s hands clenched on the steering wheel after those words left Anita’s mouth. He never expected Jazmine to be in a certain predicament where she was constantly monitored and protected by others. For five years, Liam thought he would be the one to cause inconvenience in her life, and little did he know, he wasn’t part of that. He realized his mistakes. He shouldn’t have left Jazmine at that time.
“I don’t know the full story because she never mentioned all the details to me,” Anita added as she pulled out a blanket and covered Jazmine with it. “What I know is her uncle passed away when she was seventeen. Jazmine didn’t tell me the details, but it seemed her uncle’s death wasn’t natural. The cops would come to see her from time to time when she was in school until her first year in college. I even thought about hiring a private investigato
Jazmine took a deep breath before knocking on the room's door where Liam would be sleeping during the vacation.The door swung open, and Liam stood there without a shirt on, and sweats rolled down his chest. Jazmine’s mind went into a wild run looking at the hot God standing in front of her. He had a dragon tattoo on the left side of his chest that continued to his shoulder.“Do you want to order in or go out to eat? Anita told me to ask you,” Jazmine said.“Ah, one second.”Liam turned around, showing his tattooed back at her. Jazmine fanned herself as she realized she was showing too much attention to Liam’s body. He grabbed his phone from the bed and walked back to her.“I made a r
Jazmine watched Liam from time to time after dinner last night. He kept checking his phone as if he was expecting a call or text from someone. He was awfully distracted. Jazmine didn’t know what could be the reasons for his distraction. It was too much to think about. Could it be about the waitress that Liam talked to?But if she thought about it carefully, Liam mentioned he kissed her to gain her attention. Why would he pay attention to another woman after confessing things like that? He noticed everything about her at Anita’s eighteenth birthday party. All those five years, she thought Liam didn’t even look at her.Jazmine gasped when she remembered Liam had kissed her twice. Her cheeks felt hot out of a sudden as if she was burning alive.“If you continue to stare at him like that, you mig
“They were all werewolves, Zidane,” Liam hissed. “How did you not notice it?”“I noticed it.” Zidane looked at him dead in the eyes. “I noticed it because one of the rogues was the one I banished from my pack after he killed his own mate.”“So, June Lab was experimenting on werewolves with the help of the police who rounded them up in prisons?”“We have no proof to prove the government was involved in this. It might be someone who has power and money. Look at the joint investigation the police have right now. Only a tiny fraction of their force joined it. They’re keeping it from the public because it’s not a covert operation.”“It's an illegal operation. The police officers were bou
She could only blink her eyes and stared into his green eyes. Now that she saw him this close, she finally realized the beauty of his eye color. It reminded her of the evergreen forest. Liam’s eyes were so rich in green, and she couldn’t stop looking into them. Anita’s eyes weren’t as green as his.Jazmine reached to touch the scruff on his jaw. This was why she knew that she had a thing for an older man. Liam had exceeded everything she could expect from a man. His chiseled jaw sculptured perfectly, and with the scruff, he looked hotter. She traced her fingers on his face as if she wanted to map out the structure of his face. Her eyes briefly looked at his lips, the most tempting feature of his. Jazmine wondered what it felt like to have his lips against hers again.Looked at her, a moment ago, she was about to murder him for pulling he
“We’ve got everyone,” Zidane said, walking into his pack mansion.A few hours ago, a group of twenty vampires attacked Zidane’s patrolling team and injured three pack members. It took them an hour to round up all the vampires and bring them to custody. Zidane’s beta, David, went to the office to prepare for the paperwork and interrogation. Now, everything was settled. Liam had no reason to stay longer. He did his best to assist Zidane to strengthen the perimeter for a few hours.He felt his phone buzz in his jean’s pocket and pulled it out to see it was Anita’s number. Liam answered the call and pressed the speaker against his ear.“Liam, we have a problem. Jazmine is in heat,” Anita said from the other end of the call.
“I’m sorry. We can’t be together.”Those words left his mouth. She wanted to scream at him. He turned his back on her and walked away. She stayed rooted on the ground, watching another woman walk by his side. They were smiling and laughing. It could have been her walking by his side. But he didn’t want her anymore.Jazmine gasped as she woke up from her sleep. Something was pressed against her back, and she couldn’t see anything. Everything was dark.“Don’t move too much. You’d fall,” a deep voice said from behind.She could feel the person’s breath against her neck. Jazmine’s heart thumped against her chest when she felt the familiar feeling once again. A pair of strong arms wrapped around her
Liam had just finished showering when his phone vibrated on the bed. He checked the text that came in. Brandon had informed him that he already returned and was on his way to meet up. After putting on his clothes, Liam grabbed his car key and left a note on the table in the living room before meeting with Brandon. It was an hour of drive to the meeting place.The moment Liam saw Brandon getting in his car, he noticed the gamma’s face looked tired and dark circles were evident around his eyes.“You didn’t have a good sleep?” Liam asked.Brandon took a deep breath and handed out the report he had finished while riding on the airplane. Liam looked through the file, and a long sigh left his mouth. It seemed Jazmine was entangled deeply into her uncle’s past.
Liam drove his truck with Brandon in the passenger’s seat when suddenly the Beta felt uneasy with the black van parked at the driveway. There was something unusual about the black van, although he knew they were there for Jazmine. Unable to shrug off his uneasiness, he stopped his car next to the van. Brandon and Liam got out of the car and checked around the van. If it was true that the van was the home for two bodyguards tasked to protect Jazmine, they should have made some noise from the inside. It didn’t matter what sort of noise. It could be the noise of typing on the keyboard or heartbeat, but the Beta and Gamma didn’t hear anything. The van was in dead silence. Brandon reached for the door and looked at him to tell him that the door wasn’t locked. He was about to slide the door open when Liam pushed the Gamma to the side before the van exploded. Brandon and Liam were thrown off and landed roughly against other cars in the vicinity.
# Jazmine's memory"Are you sure this is what you wanted?" Mira asked her.They visited Stefano together despite the latter being busy handling his Council and the berserk werewolves that slowly made their recovery. Still, they would never be able to live a normal life like before."Liam is all I ever wanted, and you know that," Jazmine replied. "One day, old age will consume him, and I'll have to live on without him. I don't want that.""You know there's a price to pay," Stefano said. "You have to lose your power in return for giving up your immortality. It means you will give up for Godly traits to be a normal mortal being.""I can live without having any power," Jaz
"I'm immortal, Liam," Jazmine blurted the words right out just after Liam finished his shower in the morning.She had been gathering the courage to talk to him about it. But every time she wanted to talk about it, she couldn't say a word. She wanted to grow closer to Liam, loving him the way he loved her. But the miscommunication slowly caused a rift between them.Liam stood there, repeatedly blinking while trying to dry his dripping wet hair. The rift in the relationship wasn't that visible for everyone else to see, but it was visible for both of them."How are you taking it? That I'm immortal?" Jazmine asked, looking at him.They slept on the same bed. They grew accustomed to each other's presence, but the relationship had yet to move to the next b
A week later,"Have some rest, Anita." Jazmine pulled the duvet to cover her up.It had been a week since the court hearing. Anita was discharged from the hospital and recuperated in the pack mansion. Jazmine knew that inside, Anita was grateful for the decision of the courthouse despite it still wasn't the happiest news she had received. But, Mira fought for her just as much as Luna fought for a fair justice system.# TrialJahan collected all the documents from the seven Councilors, and he was looking through them one by one—make sure everything was in order."3 Councilors are in favor of the punishment," he revealed, putting the three documents to his right. "3 Councilors are not in fav
Anita demanded the Enforcer drove her to the Council when she heard that the battle was won, and Rowan surrendered himself to the Council to answer his crimes. She knew that even though the Council was under a new system, there was still a high chance that she would never see him again, especially he was involved in the conspiracy to eradicate all supernatural species. Anita knew Mira was the deciding voter for Rowan's punishment. She was hoping that Mira would show a little bit of mercy."Rowan!" Anita shouted his name as soon as she arrived there at the same time as him.Rowan was handcuffed and escorted by Brandon into the building when she got there. They won the battle, but another one was about to happen—the battle for her mate. Anita was going to fight for Rowan if she had to. He was still her mate.Rowan kept his head low and murmured something to the Gamma. Brandon glanced at Anita for a second before he escorted Rowan into the building, and the g
For years, she lived as if she was a human. No matter how hard she tried, she could never be a human again. She was a human once, but now, she was no longer a human.She was the result of an experiment, something that was hard for her to swallow.Jazmine stood there in the back of her mind, surrounded by darkness. The loud voices had left her, and now, everything was in complete silence. There was nothing else left for her here. She didn't know what happened out there. Everything became blurry for her. The memories she had about her family and Uncle Richard had become a distant past and unreachable. She couldn't remember much about them anymore, as if someone deliberately erased those memories one by one."Jazmine...Jazmine...." Someone called from somewhere.Jazmine spun around and saw a beautiful woman dressed in white standing before her. Her hair was as white as snow and her eyes as blue as the sky. Her smile was dazzling, and her skin was glowing wit
# Mira's memory"The big boss is in there," Mira said, pointing to the tallest building in the realm.Sylas looked at her as if she had some loose screws in her head but remembering that Mira was the type of person who didn't shy away from dangers made Sylas rethink the plan once more."You're planning to kill the big boss?" Sylas asked.Mira didn't answer him. The entire plan had changed the moment Mira took the lead. She killed the Outer Angels along the way without feeling remorse about it. Nothing in the world could clean the blood that coated her hands since the day she decided to become Mira Red, the well-known redheaded huntress.This time she wasn't fighting for herself. She was fighting for Liam's happiness. Liam had sacrificed everything for her and Cohen. Mira thought it was about time she repaid Liam for that. She didn't care if she had to make a deal with an Outer being, but for as long as they got Jazmine back to Liam, that was all th
The doom shattered, but it wasn't quick enough to stop Jazmine from touching the Sword of the Doombringer. Abbadon's sneer laughter echoed throughout the realm, stopping everyone on their track. Jazmine was holding the sword with her head hung low with her body trembling as she laughed wickedly.There was no hint of the real Jazmine anymore. The laughter sounded like thousands of voices combined, and it sent shivers down everyone's spine. Abbadon looked pleased even though the outcome wasn't what she had anticipated, but it was better than nothing.Combined with Mira's dark manifestation, Jazmine's soul became corrupted, and she fell into the darkness. With the sword of the Doombringer's influence, Jazmine strayed further from the Path of Light."Mira," Cohen called as he stood next to his mate while the Alpha's heirs stood behind them."Luna, what's going on?" Liam asked.At first, it was the battle against the Knights of Death. Now, it was a batt
Jazmine grabbed the chain from the ground right before Abbadon swung the Sword of the Doombringer to her. The chain wrapped around the sword, and Jazmine dodged it just in time. As her skin continued to make contact with the chain, a voice inside her head laughed at her as if something had possessed her.Jazmine pulled away, staggering. The laughter grew stronger inside her mind. Something dark was lurking at the back of her mind causing her to be unable to think straight. Once in a while, the scene before her eyes kept shifting to a darker scene. Jazmine fell to the ground with her hands clenching. What was happening to her mind? Why did she keep seeing the destruction of the world? Why did she keep feeling the blood coated her hands as if she killed those people with her own hands?"Luna," Liam called as if he recognized what was happening to his mate. He looked to his side and noticed Mira was looking at Jazmine with intense eyes.The werewolves and their all
# Cohen's memory"Demon wolves," Stefano revealed to them the nature of their pups in Mira's bulging tummy. "All three of them are going to be born as demon wolves."Worries plastered on Cohen's face when the words sunk into his mind. This wasn't the first time he heard that his pups would be demon wolves when they were born. He had suspected it long ago, and also, Clavier hinted him the same thing. Hearing this suspicious had just added more worries in the Alpha. Not only because Clavier told him his pups would be stronger than Mira, but he also mentioned that the pups would be harder to control."This is very a rare case," the High Lord continued, "I've seen many births of hybrids during my time. They were either born as one of the parents' origin. Take an example of a hybrid of v
