CHAPTER 3

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-10 11:42:05

I heard a loud whistle and I looked around from where the sound come.

I knew it meant danger, I had heard that sound in school many times.

My eyes darted round in fear.

"Hey ogre!!" I heard a loud voice from behind the abandoned house in beside me.

Spencer McHaton.

"Medium rare!!!" Another gruff voice called out as my heart beat loudly in fear.

"Leave me alone!" I cried out in fear as I hurried away from the lonely road I always took home.

As my feet took me hurriedly away, I was not looking at my front until I bumped into a wall, hitting my chest and I fell to the floor, scraping my hands in the process.

"Where are you running to Princess?"

When I opened my eyes, shaking away the thundering headache that was suddenly in my head, I came face to face with the wall had stumbled into.

Harper, Spencer's fraternal crazy twin.

"I don't want any problem please, leave me alone please. I just want to go home" I cried as I saw my bleeding arms.

"Are you calling me a troublemaker?" Harper asked as he looked at me with a grin too wide for his face.

"No, Harper please. I didn't do anything" I cried as I cleaned my tears.

"She's calling you by your name now? When did she grow such balls?" Tatiana asked as she came up behind me, and soon all the others came in and towered over me on the floor.

"No, please. I'm hurting, just let me go home "I cried.

"Why? We heard what you did to Lucy, you lying ugly conniving bitch."

"Who knew an annoying piece of shit like you can be two faced? You had the mind to betray her?" Jojo said and stomped on my foot.

I cried and held my leg.

"Stop please!" I sobbed.

"Why? We're just here to return the favour. Maybe give you a taste of what you gave out"

"I swear I didn't do anything to her" my chest heaved with cries.

"Are you calling us liars? You're calling sweet Lucy a liar?" Imani snickered at me and I shook my head vigorously.

"No that's not what I said" I tried to clean my eyes.

"Oh, so you're the liar? Are you agreeing to the fact that you are a cheap, ugly looking, betraying snake?" Jerry asked chewing his gum and smiling.

They were enjoying my suffering

"No..."

"Yes?" Harper replied for me before I could finish taking "Then you need to be taught a lesson"

Oh moon goddess please, I need help. I thought in alarm.

Harper grabbed my leg and tried to pull me towards the abandoned house.

"No, no, no, please!" I struggled and tried to fight back but Spencer grabbed my other leg.

They all high fived each other laughing as I cried in misery. 

“Leave her alone!" A very loud voice from behind us stopped them.

They stopped moving and turned to face the owner of the voice.

Caine's mouth was billowing smoke and his other hand stuck in his pocket.

"Caine man, what's up? Where have you been all these days" Jerry went up to Caine and tried to shake hands with him but Caine pushed him away to the side.

"Let her go" he repeated to Spencer, without blinking or smiling, only the smoke coming out of his mouth as he spoke seemed real.

They all looked at each other in surprise and Harper and Spencer let go of my leg harshly.

I scrambled to my feet and stood up to dust my clothes.

"What is this Caine? I thought you said you were not going to interfere in our fun time, what's this sudden change?" Spencer said, visibly annoyed as he walked towards Caine.

“Go home you all, i don’t have time for this today” Caine said and it sounded like a low warning.

"Come on man, what's this?" Spencer said and stretched his hand for a hand shake as soon as he got to where Caine stood smoking.

"Since when did you decide to become a pussy to that ugly..." Spencer did not finish talking before Caine's fist connected with his jaw sending him to the floor.

We all gasped, including me as I stared at the sight in front of me.

"Go home. Make me repeat myself again and see what happens" Caine threw away his cigarette butt and crushed it with his leg.

“Let's go" Tatiana helped Spencer up but he pushed her away and stalked off angrily and the rest of the group followed him.

It was now remaining i and Caine.

“That includes you. You blue eyed little human”

Those were the first words Caine Creek had ever said to me.

"Thank you" I said to him and winced as the cold air stung my open wounds.

"When are you going to stop saying thank you and actually fight for yourself?" He asked me and I saw his jaw move angrily.

"I... I Uh.." I stuttered

"You should not be here" Caine said and my heart dropped into my stomach.

"What?"

"You're not a wolf, you are not even human? What the fuck are you? And then the moon goddess decides to make you my..."

His what?

"She decides to put you in my pack, I'm so ashamed that you belong to us. My father made a mistake accepting the Union between your parents" Caine said and my heart broke finally.

"Don't say that" my tears started to flow again, my voice was barely a whisper now.

"And now look at you, small, red hair, blue eyes, weak, we're not even sure you can change. And worse of all you're..."

"Ugly?" I finished off for him.

"I never called you ugly" Caine exhaled and stuck his hands in his pocket.

I only scoffed and wiped my tears.

“You’re no different from them” I said finally before turning and walking away.

That day my feelings for him died.

I hated Caine Creek.

    Few blocks from my house, I cleaned my tears and tried to hide the red angry bruises on my arms.When I got home, the door was unlocked as usual but some of the things were missing in the living room, like the Tv and the tables."Mum?!"

    “Hello Mrs Elena, is Lucy home?” I asked Lucy's Aunty who I had met gardening right outside their house.I had come to tell my best friend that I was leaving.Ever since that incident in school, Lucy had refused to talk to me and I was not surprised when she did not come to look for me even when I had not showed up to school in days.So here I was trying to mend broken fences before I left and once again I was met with her absence.“No honey, she went out with that naughty boy again. After messing my sheets up, they leave my house in a mess. Once that stubborn girl comes home she’ll clean this house spotless like a maid. She just gets me mad all the time” Elena said furiously, digging away at the soil.The naughty boy in question: Caine Creek.But I could care less about him now, he no longer mattered to me."Do you know where she went to?"

    "I'll give you a moment to clear out your locker alone. The classes are going on now, so you have enough time to get what you want and leave without any drama" The school principal, Miss Johnson, said to me after my mother told her on the phone that I was leaving school.By now I'm guessing half of the parents in the pack would've heard about the drama between my parents.I told her to plead with Miss Johnson to make my move as stealthy as possible, because I knew how much mockery I was going to get if the other students knew I was leaving."I heard about what was going on between you and the other students," she said behind me as we walked to my locker. "You lost so much weight," she added after I didn't say anything.She knew about it.The whole school knew about my bullying but no one did anything about it, they rather enjoyed it."I'm sorry I couldn't do anything about it, and I'm sorry about your parents" she said."I heard your father found his mate.

    JASMINEThe silence that followed was deafening, almost scaring me out of my position. Caine stood before me, eyes seeing around like he’d just found a lost treasure. “I’m searching for Lucy. Any idea where she might be?” I asked, exchanging glances with the rest of the group. “Errands,” Caine replied. His voice sounded thicker and deeper than the last time we spoke. “Ohh…when she returns please tell her I stopped by,” I said to him and turned to leave. “Jasmine,” he called. I halted in my tracks and turned to him. He seemed to be contemplating approaching me. At first I thought he was seeking approval from the rest of the gang. Hell no. He was freaking Caine Creek. He didn’t need anyone’s approval. He gestured for them to leave, which they did. “You…just show up from nowhere after how many years?” He asked, covering the gap between us. There was no need to be scared this time. I was better than the last time we stood this close. The closer he got, the harder my heart raced. I

    JASMINEThe tension between us was undeniable and I cursed myself for even acknowledging it. Caine leaned against the door frame, shirtless with his hands folded across his chest. His eyes scanned me all over again, like he was trying to figure me out all over again. “I’ll wait outside then,” I said to him and turned around to leave. “Maybe you haven’t heard but the pack is not as safe as when you left. We get surprise attacks at any time of the day. People go missing, dead bodies sprawl out of the ground almost every morning yet, no one has answers to these happenings,”“I’ll advise you to come in and wait,” he finally made his point. I won’t lie, the mention of getting attacked at any time of the day sent my heart racing. With a deep, regrettable sigh, I took another turn and made my way into the house. He locked the door and joined me shortly after putting on a shirt. The room was surprisingly clean for a guy like Caine. He wasn’t this arranged six years ago. I perched at the ed

    JASMINEThe room erupted into chaos. Everyone shot up from their seats, the chairs screeching as we hurried towards Spencer. Caine led the way, getting to Spencer before the rest of us. “What happened?” He asked, helping him in. I checked outside the door to confirm there was no one else out there. It was clear. “The diner,” Spencer choked on his blood. “He needs to be attended to. Clear the table,” I assisted Caine to carry him. The rest stood, looking at me to confirm if I was actually dishing out orders to them. “You heard her!” Caine barked as we hurried across the room carrying Spencer. Imani and Jojo cleared the table, giving me the opportunity to get down to a work I had learnt on my own and practiced with Bryan. “Take his clothes off,” I told Jojo before rushing to get a bowl of water. After my mother moved in with her new family, her whole attention focused on them, I found ways to defend myself. I learnt how to stand up for myself, defend myself and treat my wounds. I

    JASMINEMy eyes fluttered open, leaving me with a blurred vision a few seconds. My ears picked the sound of indistinct chattering coming from somewhere around the dark room. I’ve barely been back here and they won’t let me breathe properly. As my vision cleared, so did my hearing. It wasn’t just chattering. They were moans. Loud and clear. The girl…sounded so much like Imani. But I recalled the tone of the voice that knocked me into unconsciousness. It was masculine. “Right there Jerry,” the Imani moaned, loud kisses following after. Why did she sound like he was torturing her. To mage it worst, they were in plain sight, having sex infront of me. Couldn’t they hold themselves until they got somewhere closed?And what wasn’t I understanding? Imani is supposed to be with Jojo. Or did something change in their cycle of relationships?She went down on her knees, taking in his cock which just slipped out of her vagina. I swallowed, feeling every nerve in my body twisting against the sigh

    JASMINE’S POV “Can I have a word with you?” I asked, stealing glances at Bryan who was looking out of the window. Caine was still answering a call at the garage while I pulled Lucy to a corner. “That’s him,” I blurted. “Him? What do you mean by him?” “My ex, Lucy, Bryan. That’s him,” I clarified. My heart raced, my blood boiling as I mistakenly looked into his eyes. He looked away immediately, and I knew that guilt was eating him up. “Your…ex? That Bryan?” “Yes, Lucy, that's Bryan,” I answered. “Okay, chill. He’s been my work partner for a while now. I never knew he was the Bryan you were talking about,” Lucy snapped. She noticed that wasn’t going to get me calm, so instead, she took my hands and pulled me closer to her. “Hey, nothing is going on between us, he’s just a colleague. I am with Caine, remember?” She asked. I didn’t want to give her a response, but the way she looked into my eyes demanded one. I nodded consecutively. “Yeah, yeah,” I breathed. “An

    LUCY’S POV “Whatever this is, Luce, it’s not normal,” Bryan said, inching closer to me. I sighed, falling back on the wooden chair behind me. We stood for almost ten minutes, waiting for Adrian to finish up with his meal. When he was finally done, he crept out from the darkness, the red eyes still glowing as he made himself visible. I felt tears brewing in my eyes as I stood up and tossed a jacket to him. “Put these on”. “How long has he been this way,” Bryan asked, helping me with the empty blood bags. “A month, two or three weeks. I can’t really tell. All I know is that there was something wrong with him the last time I went home,” “There’s nothing wrong with me,” Adrian interrupted, walking out of the darkness completely. He exhaled, slowly opening his eyes. The red was gone, likewise the rage. “Dad did something new, and for the first time it worked,” “For the first time?” I asked, trying to process what he meant. “Have there been other trials, Adrian?” “Yeah…they all

    LUCY'S POVMy heart skipped a beat as the bag fell from my shoulder, the blood bags which I had stolen from the pack clinic sprawling on the floor. “Oh my God! Caine!” I exclaimed, trying to hide the guilt as I started linking them up with a rush. I tossed them into the bag, not paying attention to whatever he was saying.“Lucy, I asked a question!” He pulled my shoulder, sending me to the floor. I fell on my butt, wincing in pain. “Oh my…Luce, I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to,”“Stay away from me,” I yelled, stopping him with an extended palm. I took my time on the floor, thinking of what lie to give to him so he wouldn’t go asking questions. “Lucy…I didn’t mean to hit you in that manner,” he apologized, taking further steps closer to me. I burst into tears, burying my head in my legs. That was the first excuse I could garner from my thoughts, just so I’d have enough time to think. “Don’t touch me, Caine,” I whimpered, sobbing into my palms. “You almost ruined it all. My efforts.

    CAINES POV“You shouldn’t have moved the bodies,” Sheriff Sherwood returned to us, pocketing his gun.“We’re sorry, we just couldn’t stand and do nothing,” I replied. He gestured with his head for us to walk with him, and we didn’t stop until we were out of the crime scene, standing amid police vans and ambulances. I knew what he wanted to say just by looking at him. “Look, I’m sorry uncle, I just had to call in this favor. I understand you’ve helped us a lot of times, and my dad probably owes you for the countless favors you have rendered…”“Kid…”“Just…please. This is more like an outbreak than a crime scene. It’s…” I paused, staring at the bodies that were being moved. “It’s dark,” I completed. Uncle Sherwood, my father's younger brother, was the family’s stray child. He started by not meeting his wolf when he was younger, by hanging out in the human world, and always sneaking out of the house. According to my father, he got into more trouble than we could count.

    JASMINES POVI was too wasted to act. I just sat there, letting the chaos around me do its thing. My head fell to the chair, watching as the ceiling traveled in circles. I thought I saw some runes on them, calling into me with its blue glowing light. They looked pretty, and I extended my hands, wishing I could float in the air and know what they felt like. But the music in the room died down, cutting my solemn moment short.“Let’s go, Jasmine,” I heard Caines voice. He sounded muffled, and I couldn’t see his face. “You’re drunk, how much did you have to drink?” He asked, throwing my hand around his shoulder and grabbing me from the waist. I knew what was happening around me, but at the same time, I didn’t. For a second I thought I was levitating, but then whenever I looked at Caine, that hope was gone. I didn’t feel sad or anything, just…empty. For once., nothing bothered me. Caine led me out of the room, and to stop my eyes from hurting, I closed them and rested my head on his sh

    JASMINES POVI pressed my hand against my chest, leaning on the side of the wall as my mind spiraled out of control. Thoughts flew in like my mind was a passageway for them, causing my breath to come out ragged. A lot had happened in just what?—three days? And yet there was still someone downstairs calling me a murderer. How was I supposed to face all these while trying to focus on what wolf I would train? Not to speak of my father's deal with Natalia. I heaved a sigh, halted before my mirror, and ran my hands down my hair. The echoes of laughter and muffled sounds of music traveled into my room, it was a room party which I was informed about but declined. But I couldn’t stay in my room, not with all these thoughts running into my head. I needed a distraction, and the room party just seemed like it.With a little touch on my face and hair, I made my way to the room. Room 27. I knocked twice and the door flung open almost immediately, revealing an unfamiliar face. “I know you,” he

    CAINE’S POV“Get off her!” I raced past Jojo and Imani, almost knocking them down as I made my way to Jasmine and Isha. I pulled Isha off her and flung her to the feet of her brothers. “Keep your eyes on her!” I yelled at them. For a second, I thought I saw the disappointment in their eyes. They helped Isha up, holding her still despite her aggressive kicks to be set free and yolk her into the living room. “Are you okay?” I extended my hand to help her up. “Yeah,” she coughed, almost falling back on my shoulder. Lucy stepped in between us. “I’ll take her from here,” she said, pulling Jasmine away from me. We all went into the living room but were divided. Jojo and Lucy were with Jasmine, while Harper, Spencer, and Imani were with Isha. I could already sense trouble coming hard at us. “She killed them,” Isha cried, sobbing in the arms of her brothers. “We’ll deal with that later, Isha,” I tried to keep her calm, but that made her angrier. Her blood-red eyes shot angrily at me, sn

    JASMINES POVThoughts. More thoughts. Extra thoughts. All night, that was all running through my mind. A brother? I scoffed, turning to the other side of the bed. That was when I realized the sun was out. I’d spent all night pondering on Natalia’s words. I wanted to come down from my bed and feed my thirst, but my body isn't encouraging. I needed rest, even if it was for an hour or two. I shut my eyes, hoping to sleep this time. And just when I thought I was drifting into sleep, a knock came on my door. My eyes snapped open, and I sat up on the bed. The door opened, it was Caine. “Long night?” He asked, walking into my room. I sighed, collapsing on my bed. “How’s Jerry?” I asked, rubbing my eyes. They were beginning to feel heavy with sleep, but with Caine in my room, I knew my day had just begun. “He’s recovering well. Just the…you know…” he said, helping himself to a chair opposite my bed. I sat back up, holding my banging head with both hands. “Cool,” I dragged. “I came t

    JASMINES POV “Where do we start from?” I asked Natalia, slowly walking to the glass while I maintained eye contact with her. “Trust,” she blurted, standing up and walking to the edge of the glass. I halted in front of her, a smile crawling up my lips. “Trust is the last thing you could ask for from me,” I replied, holding the gaze until he nodded with her hands going up in the air. “I’d understand. I mean who would want to trust me after going through that betrayal from her mother,” “She did it to keep me safe,” I defended my mom despite how it hurt me to know about all this. But I guess Natalia could see beneath my words of defense like she knew I was broken. “Did she? I mean…look at the damage she has caused you. She’s made you look weak…you’ve become a mockery…so much for someone who falls under…” “Answers,” I interrupted, holding back the tears in my eyes.
