CHAPTER 28Jason was driving back to his home like a man on a mission of no return. He had spent the night alone at the hotel and got up early to come back to his pack, the only people he could trust at the moment. He made Jasmine go first because he needed time alone to himself, and he didn't trust that the mate pull wouldn't make him yearn for her if she was so close. He needed time apart from her and even now he felt like his entire life was a lie. He rolled down the windows of the car as he drove, he wanted to feel free, he wanted the feel of the breeze to do their magic for him as usual but it was useless. He could sense something was wrong, he could tell that she was hiding something from him, but he didn't know that she could betray him. Everything was perfect until he realized who she really was. It would have been better if she had told him earlier. Maybe it would have been much better if he had never met her at all, maybe then he wouldn't feel this broken and hopeless in
CHAPTER 29Jasmine was broken about everything happening. She was hurt and devastated and as Caleb drove her to her apartment she didn't even utter a word. It felt like she was living life in a blur, existing but not really living, it was terrifying how much all these affected her, she wanted wanted to cry but somehow there were no more tears to cry for her. She could still vividly remember every word he spoke to her, the sting of it was more painful than that of a bee. How was it possible that the way he said those words was worse than the words it self?Engraved in her memory was every look he gave her, his golden orbs that she loved to stare at had a certain darkness to it, it terrified her but also broke her heart to a thousand pieces. "How could you?" He asked her, his voice evident of disgust and hatred. How could she?.... well maybe because this was all she ever wanted from Jason Halem. From the moment she steeped into his office it was apparent that she was a woman in a m
Chapter 30"Take it easy big bro, we don't want to crash!" Nathan exclaimed as he watched Jason driving like a werewolf without a care in the world. As much as he was all for getting back the love of his life, he wasn't ready to go through the pain of broken bones and tattered flesh. Yes he would heal very fast and look brand new, but he didn't want to feel such pain and go through all that stress. Plus a crash would only delay the time they spent in getting to Jasmine. All that went to deaf ears though smashed he brother was still focused on driving like a mad man. "Then maybe you shouldn't have come in the first place," Jason glared at him, taking his eyes away too long from the road. "Okay! Okay! Please watch the road!" He said. He was not really terrified of a crash even though as werewolves they would heal in a matter of seconds. He also didn't want to ruin this shirt because it was one of his favorites, not because it was so expensive but it was one of the few things that
CHAPTER 31Jasmine woke up in a dark room, her head throbbed terribly and her eyes tried to adjust to the darkness. The room was cold and the chills she felt went up her spine. Her hands were tied behind her back and she felt her body aching everywhere. She could hear voices not too far off from where she was. She strained her ears to try to listen to what was being said but it wasn't so successful. She could make out a deep husky male voice speaking quite authoritatively to a quirky female voice. Something about the female voice was oddly familiar but she couldn't quite place where she heard it from. She could barely hear what the conversation was about but something told her that she might be at the centre of it. She needed to get out of here as soon as possible, that was the most important thing in her mind right now. She tried struggling with the chair that she was tied to but apparently that was a terrible idea as she fell down with a loud thud sideways. It was embarrassing
CHAPTER 32"Welcome little man! You took your time but still better late than never, look how much you've grown!" Sebastian spoke loudly as they got closer to Jason. "Let her go Sebastian! This is between you and me!" Jason growled. There were more than a dozen werewolves around him, all loyal to Sebastian, but he would fight every single one of them to save Jasmine. He watched as she was manhandled by Claire and his wolf riled up. He could not bear seeing her in pain. He thought about how blind he was to not have seen past the facade Claire put up. He was used to being betrayed so he could not say he was shocked. She was the mole planted in his office and she did a very good job of hiding her identity. "Oh come on, let's have some fun, at least get to know each other better, there's so much catching up to do, don't you think?," he smirked mischievously. "We don't have anything to talk about Sebastian," Jason snarled as he glared at the man that appeared unmoved by his behavior.
CHAPTER 33Jasmine woke up with Jason by her side. He held onto her hand as he sat beside her. He was asleep but he didn't want to let go of her. He had not let her out of his sight since the encounter with Sebastian. She has been going in and out of slumber for 2 days now. She barely ate anything and most times she had nightmares that made her wake up screaming and scratching and he was always there with her. She looked at him with love and admiration as he slept soundly. She stretched her free hand over his head and gently rubbed it. She wondered how she got so lucky to have someone like him beside her. He was everything she had ever hoped for and more. He moved slowly under her touch. He was a light sleeper and could already sense her movement when she woke up. He turned his head and faced her, his heart swelled up when he saw her smile, the golden rays from the sun shone over her, brightening her whole appearance. "You know I can watch you smile all day and I'll be okay for li
Chapter 34 Jasmine never in a million years thought she would settle down this early. She imagined herself living the independent life for as long as she wanted. She definitely did not have plans of marrying the elite, whom she had much hatred for, and to top it all she was getting married to a werewolf! An Alpha!This was all beyond her wildest imagination but alas, here she was, staring at the most beautiful white dress she had ever seen. It was a simple dress, but one she had fought really hard to get. The pack wanted her dress to be gold for that was their family color, but she had always dreamed of being in a white dress, it was all she asked for! She never had much hope of what her wedding ceremony would be like but the only thing she knew she wanted was that white dress, her wedding day would never be the same without it. This time around even Mama Helen was not on her side. She thought she was gradually getting the family to warm up to her, she thought that she was fina
Chapter 35 "Eww, all these love is making me nauseous!" Hope whined. The bride and groom looked at her but with divers intentions. Jasmine thought she was cute and since she probably felt odd being between them in such a position she felt pity for her. Jason on the other hand thought she was being annoying and doing too much. He knew her better than Jasmine, he knew what she was capable of and he definitely was not buying into this good girl charade of her. He was shocked to say the least to see that she supported Jasmine when she wanted to wear a white dress for their wedding, but after a while he finally realized why she did that. Hope was already someone that every werewolf in the pack watched closely, no one really trusted her… well except Nathan. However, what Nathan thought about her didn't really count. To be honest he had always known that his little brother had a silly crush on Hope, unfortunately she only saw him as a little boy and nothing more. It was common for the
Chapter 62Jasmine woke up with what felt like an epiphany, like she was feeling things for the very first time but those emotions had always been there. She felt a longing, a need to be held by a familiar hand, she had a craving to be in the warm embrace of someone… and that someone was Jason. From the moment she woke up he was all she wanted to see, but it was strange because she had a recollection of the emotions but she still had no memory of Jason, she still had no recollection of him or their time together, but these strange feeling of familiarity surged through her in ways she could not explain. Just then Jason came into her hospital room, putting a face to the emotions going through her. She knew she loved him, but how could she love someone she still could not remember. "You're awake!" He exclaimed as soon as he saw her. He rushed to her side and cautiously held her hand, he wasn't sure how she would react to a gesture like that so he was being careful. She didn't push
Chapter 61 "How do you think I feel? Hope, my world is crumbling right before me and there's nothing I can do about it," he yelled. "I'm sorry Jason, I didn't know that it would turn out like this," she pleaded. "How exactly did you think this would turn out, please tell me what was your plan exactly?" He asked her, unmoved by the tears that were starting to form in her eyes. "Well I knew there was bad blood between Dominic and I, but I didn't know that he would react that way. I thought he would be willing to help because of the history we had," she explained. "And what sort of history do you have with someone like that?" He asked her sternly. She hesitated before she answered his question and all Jaosn was able to think was that she was trying to think of a good lie to tell him. He could never believe a word that came from her mouth, not even if she promised that she was telling the truth, not even if she swore on her life. Certainly she didn't think that he would believe a
Chapter 60 Jason had never seen Dominic even though he had heard so much about him, but the man standing in front of him right now looked every bit like the image he portrayed. Dominic was tall and slim built with very broad shoulders and a slim waist. He had scanty brown hair and light brown eyes. He wasn't built like your stereotypical werewolf but one look at his sharp eyes and you'd know that he was the embodiment of evil. He had very thin lips that stretched into an evil smirk every now and then, like it was his default expression. Jason has been with him for less than 5 minutes and he could already tell that it was a big mistake coming here in the first place if this was the guy that they were supposed to meet. This man was not someone that was ready to help, especially with whatever was going on between him and Hope. "Can you believe it! The prodigal daughter finally returns!" He exclaimed as soon as he saw Hope. For a moment there Jason wondered how exactly Hope became
Chapter 59"Don't raise your voice, people might suspect otherwise," Hope cautioned him. And true to her words two tall pale looking men that looked like they were in their late thirties glanced towards their direction. They each had a partner with them and from one glance you already could tell what was going on. They were vampires, the kind with old blood from the color of their eyes and their sunken dark eye sockets. Also their reflexes were extremely sharp but they were extraordinarily calm, perfectly capable of controlling their emotions, unlike the modern day vampires that reacted to everything around them. Most vampires were intensely sensitive, erratic in motion and annoyingly unstable, especially in the presence of werewolves, whom for some weird reason they considered rivals. These two however were unusually calm even though the supernaturals have already identified what each was. It was obvious that they had been around for a very long time from the way they controlled
Chapter 58 Jason was starting to get suspicious… well he had always been suspicious but this time around his gut feeling thought that there was something very wrong, and it was a lot more than usual. One would think that maybe Hope had forgotten the whereabouts of this friend that would lead them to this witch that could solve all their problems. "Hope, how long till we get there already, I've been driving for hours but it seems this friend of yours lives on the other side of earth!" He said sternly, just like he had said a few times before. "We're almost there, just keep following the directions I gave you," she would always say. She was being way too mysterious with everything. She had refused to give out the exact location of this source of hers, for this source's security, she had said. Well that's nice, but what about their own security? He didn't exactly feel 100% safe going blind into a place that he had no information on, to see someone he had no idea about. Who exactl
Chapter 57 After what looked like an eternity of awkward silence in the hotel room, they all finally checked out of the hotel and were back on the road. Chad was extremely polite this morning, somehow he seemed to have finally found his manners and still avoided eye contact with the trio. He was more than happy to speed up the process of checking them out of his hotel as he could not wait to finally be rid of the three extremely strange, terrifying people. "Have a nice day," Chad told them as they made to leave. "We sure will, you too Chad," Hope answered. She seemed to be in a good mood, unlike the other two, who were already halfway to the vehicle by the time he spoke. All Jasmine wanted to do was get as far away from here as soon as possible. She wanted to forget everything that happened in this place and she reasoned that the farther away from here that she was, the sooner she would let all the experiences go. However she was only kidding herself. She had no potion to make
Chapter 56 Jason was up by dawn, he had always had trouble sleeping and the nightmares were back, fiercer than before. They only stopped when he was with Jasmine, when she was still the woman that loved him as much as he loved her, she gave him the kind of peace he could not comprehend, but now that was gone and he was back to the nights of terror. This nightmare was a new one, it was confusing and he could only vaguely remember it, but one part that stuck with him was that he was searching for something, but he found another thing instead. He could not remember what he was searching for, nor what he found instead, but he knew there was a mismatch. He felt lost in the dream, just as lost as he felt in real life. He woke up sweating even though the air conditioner in the room was working to an extent, it wasn't perfect but at least it wasn't completely broken down. His first reaction was to look towards Jasmine and he saw her sleeping soundly like the beauty that she was.What a
Chapter 55If you had told Jasmine that she would be spending a night in the same room with the annoying Jason she definitely would not have believed you. Even if you had come with a crystal ball, a palm reader and a soothsayer, she would have laughed at your face and reminded you that she didn't believe in most of these fetish stuff. Knowing that werewolves, vampires and witches exist was even a stretch to her belief system, adding all these other kinds of people might just be the last straw before she goes gaga. Unfortunately though this was just a coincidence and not something planned by fate. She recalled the look of pure fear in Chad's eyes as he announced that there were only 2 rooms left. The poor guy was already at the verge of pissing in his pants and any moment from now he could even faint if pushed any further. She tugged on Jason's shirt, prompting him to accept the rooms as it were. Nobody noticed that she did this apart from Jason himself. Hope was too busy staring
Chapter 54 "You do know that we've been waiting here, trying to get someone to attend to us for what seems like forever and you just show up like you don't even care?!" Hope said with disgust clearly written over her face, and conveyed through the tone of her voice. She was usually able to hide her feelings, to put on a mask, to pretend to feel something else apart from her true feelings, to smile and say everything was alright even when it wasn't. She had been so used to this facade that it almost felt like she was living two lives, walking about in a life of two faces. She had to do this because nobody really understood her, they could say they did, but she knew they would be lying. How could they? Nobody ever gave her a chance to tell her own story, no one ever thought for a second if she was alright or not. They brushed off her feelings because she wasn't a fragile human like Jasmine and her werewolf bloodline wasn't royal like Jason and Nathan. Life was never kind to her bu
