JASMINES POV

I sat beside the crackling fire, my arms wrapped around my body beneath the cloth that lay over my shoulder. My eyes followed his every move, just to ensure I wasn’t just prey to him. I didn’t want to be taken unaware, so I clung onto a stick that I picked up when he wasn’t looking.

“Brendon,” I muttered as my eyes left him for the first time, searching the environment for any sign of a living being. “Are you sure this place is safe?” I asked.

He didn’t look as confident as he was earlier when he offered me help. Instead, a strange sense of fear lurked in his expression as he turned the nest burning over the fire.

“I guess,”

“You guess?” I repeated, fear crawling back into my skin. The steak of meat in my hand dropped, and I stood up. “But you were sure that we were safe earlier,”

“I’m not saying we are not safe,” he interrupted without waiting to hear what else I had to say. “I’m only saying that…when it was just me…I was safe. But now that you’re here, who knows

    JASMINES POV “You can’t? Why?” Curiosity grew in me after he gave his unexpected answer. He shook his head, adjusting on the log of wood where he was resting. “You just bumped into me, how sure are you that…” “I can trust you?” I interrupted him. I sighed, moving away from where I was sitting and taking up a space beside him. “I never said I trust you, Brendon. All I said was…you saved me, and might as well help me save my friend. Instead of staying in the middle of nowhere, you could meet new people,” I corrected him. That still didn’t give him the satisfaction I’d expected. His eyes still bore some kind of doubt that lingered as I stared into them. He shook his head, turning away from me. “What if I don’t want to leave?” I didn’t respond to him immediately. I let his decision sink and settle at the base of my head before I shrugged. “Fine then, I’m used to surviving on my own. I’ll go alone,” I said, not waiting to hear what he had to say before I returned to his tent.

    JASMINES POVThe wolves snarled, their teeth bared and glowing under the morning light. I scrambled to my feet, pulling Brendon to my side. He was strongly rooted to the ground, his eyes fixed on both beasts like he was analyzing them. “Brendon, it’s them. We must leave now!” I urged, pulling his arm.“Wait,” he whispered, his knees taking a slow bend as he assumed a defensive stance. His claws snapped out, and he started moving closer. The wolves that were once charged with ferocity started moving backward.I stood behind him, trying to understand what was happening. Were they scared of him? Or was there something he was doing to them that I couldn’t see?“Brendon, what’s going on?” I whispered.“Stay close,” he returned, keeping up with his pace. I tugged behind him, holding the dagger in my left hand, with the right grabbing his shirt. “What’s going on?” I asked, watching as the positions reversed. The first wolf turned immediately and ran into the woods, while the second took it

    JASMINES POVThe sound of Lucy’s car pulling up at the curb was a type of relief I hadn’t felt in some time. Brendon and I crept out of our hiding, racing to the black sedan that came to a halt. The door flung open, revealing Lucy who was sitting in the driver's seat. “Get in!” She hissed. I dragged Brendon along as we darted into the car. She didn’t wait a second for us, hitting the accelerator as the car sped off. The force closed the door, trapping us in. The car was silent for a few minutes, Lucy and I stealing gazes at each other from her mirror. She made a turn at a familiar road and hit the break.“Where have you been?” Her voice thundered with a mix of concern and anger. “I…” I opened my mouth to explain, but my words went missing, letting out only a sigh. “Where the hell have you been, Jasmine? Everyone in the pack was worried. Alpha Morgan couldn’t leave again because you went missing…”“I didn’t go missing,” I chirped in, lifting my face from where it was buried in dis

    JASMINES POV “Sister?” My head ran at a speed to process what he just said and what I just witnessed. I pressed down the truth that brewed in my chest, refusing to believe that I had just been fooled by him. “Sister?” I muttered, my entire body trembling as I fought to stay on my feet. “Lucy, run!” Her parents yelled, but she seemed as glued as I was to the ground, taking in the hour before us. Brendon’s face turned entirely, revealing the face of a whole different person. It looked very similar to a story that was told not long ago, by the same person I was running from—Natalia. It sounded so much like the story of my brother—Eric. Was it him? Has Brendan been Eric this long? Has he been fooling me? Adrian hazed out of the wall where he crashed into but was caught mid-way and lifted off the ground by Brendon. He struggled, clawing and kicking, but Brendon’s arms kept healing with a speed faster than any I’d seen. Adrian stopped for a while, watching in horror. “What

    JASMINES POV A brief silence followed after my request, and I thought I just made the greatest mistake ever—calling my ex… Ex? Did we ever have a thing? “Jasmine, where are you?” Caine asked. But before I could answer, Brendon’s voice bellowed closer. “I can smell you, sister. Your blood is as thick as mine. I won’t hurt you. Just give me what I want,” “Lucy’s house,” I blurted instantly and hung up the phone. The girl was lying on the floor, wheezing for breath like I’d just pulled her away from her life support. It had something to do with what Lucy’s parents did to her. Whether Natalia has a phone or not, I have no idea. But at this point, I wished i trusted her…or that she’d show up. “We’ve got to go!” I crouched by her eyes and threw her arms over my neck. That was when I saw the cut on her belly. Deep, oozing blood out, and slowly ebbing her life force. “You’re hurt,” “That’s why…I told you…to leave,” she breathed, for the first time, staring at me. Her eyes we

    JASMINES POV The first week that went by after the incident was a roller coaster. Natalia was the only seeker wolf keeping in touch with me in the room where I was locked up. For some reasons which they refused to communicate to me, they were angry—or disappointed. However, I had every reason to believe that it had something to do with Lucy’s parents being the abductors of Daria’s granddaughter. I sat on the balcony of the room, staring at the rest of the pack as they went on with their daily activities. I spotted the usual train of servants who carried drugs to Natalia’s room to treat the girl. The girl, whose name I learned was Nina, was still in recovery. Her injuries were worse than I realized, and there were even rumors that she may not be able to use her legs again. My phone buzzed on the table inside, pulling me away from my thoughts and the balcony. It was the same number that had been calling for the past seven days—Caine’s number. He called after the incident diff

His lips parted like he wanted to say something, but as long as u waited, nothing came out of his mouth. “I urm…” “Are you sure?” He finally asked, taking a step back. It felt like rejection, watching him move away, but I simply buried my head, placing my hand on my stomach. It wasn’t something I was sure about…just a conclusion I came about. “No, I urm…I’ve been feeling strange these past weeks…” I stuttered, glancing at him at intervals. He made a slow nod, moving to the chair at the center of the table. He leaned on it, his expression shifting to one of deep thinking. “Well urm…” he broke the silence that stretched to the end of the room. “You have to confirm, a test or something. Does anyone know? Natalia? Daria?” “No one knows,” I answered, letting out my long-held breath seeing that he was comfortable with dis

    JASMINES POV I must kill Ezra? It sounded so much like a contracted task placed on my head and bound by my life. The way it was out made it sound so much like a threat. I walked myself back to my room, keeping my head buried until I arrived at my door. “Jasmine,” my father called my attention. His voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I found him standing in a corner beside my door. “What happened?” He asked as he closed the gap between us. I glanced back at the path I just threaded, checking if the eyes that I felt staring heavily at me when I left Nina’s room were still watching. “Do they know? Did you say something to them?” “No, no. They don’t,” I sighed, still scanning the environment like they were watching me. “I… I think I want to leave.” My decision switched my father’s expression to one of excitement which he tried to contain. I could see through the mask of pretense on his face. “Can we go now?” “Will they let you?” He asked. The answer to that question was

    JASMINES POVI stood before the mirror, staring at my reflection. Time had passed since the last servant came to inform us that the car was waiting. I’d completely lost myself in my reflection. The woman staring back at me was different. Someone I’d long admired to be. I let out a sigh, taking the veil off my face. “Are we ready?” I asked Alyssa who was still gathering a few things from her bag. “Yes…just these little things I have to get them we’ll move,’ he said.I didn’t mind, because I felt like I had all the time in the world. I was willing to stand before the mirror, simply staring at myself and the baby bump that was evident from the white gown I had on. Two knocks landed on the door, and it creaked open. From the mirror, I saw my mother. “Mum,” I called under my breath. She told me that she wasn’t going to make it because she was still taking care of her husband. Seeing her here sent chills down my spine. I strode hurriedly across the room, but she covered more space tha

    JASMINES POVI walked into the cemetery where Lucy’s body was buried. Carrying my flowers in one hand and holding Caine in the other. It was a month after her death, and as much as I tried to deny it, I could feel the void in my heart. She occupied somewhere in my heart, despite the betrayal and hatred, and I just couldn’t bring myself to deny that fact. Caine wasn’t in support of my going to visit the cemetery, but I insisted. I had to remind him of Lucy’s parents whom they locked up and weren’t able to pay their daughter a visit at her grave, nor did they have a chance to see them lower her into the ground. She was a villain, yes—but also a human being. “I’ll wait out here,” Caine said. I didn’t argue. We disconnected our hands, and he kissed me before letting me off. Caine was still a work in progress. He was taking on a new personality, one that was completely in contrast to who he was before the accident. His memories were not completely back, but each day, with my presenc

    CAINES POVThe next time I woke up, I couldn’t move my hands or legs. I scanned the room area after getting a clearer vision. The smell of wolf’s bane was strong in the air, and that explained why I felt weak. “You’re finally up, welcome to the party,” Lucy drew my attention to her. She was crouched beside Jasmine, and something about that position upset my wolf. He wanted to defend Jasmine, to stand up for her. But our strength was sealed. “Get away from her. Who are you?” I gritted.“It’s so sad that it had to be your memory that was lost. A part of me wished you died that night,” she blurted. “What?” I asked. Then I understood what she was talking about. My accident. “That girl…Elara right?” She chuckled. “She was this close to figuring out. If only she’d been smart,”I groaned, pulling against my restraints. “You killed her!” I yelled. But only a sinister smile played on her face as she moved from Jasmine to me. “You can’t do anything, Caine, not even now. You couldn’t even

The connection had been lost.Jasmine’s voice still rang in my head, breathless and desperate.I’m pregnant—with your child.I shot up from my chair so fast it clattered against the floor. My wolf was raging beneath my skin, demanding action, demanding I find her.Just then, a car drove in. I moved to the window to see who it was. Lucy. My eyes drifted to the clock, and it was a few minutes past twelve. The sky was completely dark, and the moon was hanging with a moonlight under the cloud. “She sounded scared…and urgent…” I thought. All of a sudden, my wolf was full of rage. The fragment of memory that I had tried to remember felt like it was fighting its way up. But distractions. Lucy was coming up, and I had to confirm my suspicions. I reached for my phone and sent a text to Beta Joseph, telling him to track my phone and find me if anything happened. I sent the same

    JASMINE’S POVThe moment the door shut behind them, I let out a shaky breath, my body sagging against the chair. My arms ached from the restraints, my head pounding from exhaustion, but none of it compared to the sharp pain radiating through my stomach. The warmth of my blood soaked into my dress was a terrifying reminder of just how much danger I was in.I glanced at the table where Lucy had tossed her phone. It was my only chance.My eyes drifted back to the door after I heard a sound. I thought they were coming back, so I curled back into my tears. After a few seconds of waiting, and no one came through the door, I let out a heavy sigh, staring at the phone. Desperation fueled me as I forced my body forward. I fell from the chair and crashed my face on the floor. Shock coursed through my face, sending my head and my brain pulsing with the taste of blood that circulated in my mouth. I ignored the pain, keeping my eyes focused on the phone that lay on the table. I started crawlin

    LUCY'S POVI slammed the brakes, drifting the car out of the garage. I saw Caine standing at the edge of the hallway through the rear mirror. His gaze was fixed on the car, his body still as I drove off. I knew he was getting suspicious, and it was only a matter of time before he came searching or digging for answers. I drove into the silence that filled the night, a clear contrast to the storm of thoughts that raged in my mind. I’d asked for dinner with them because I started noticing the low murmuring when I wasn’t looking. They were getting suspicious, questioning my whereabouts and my lateness to the events and important meetings. I also noticed how distant I had become due to the plans Bryan had and the hitches we experienced over the month. Recently, a few days back or so, Adrian went on a hunting spree, killing tons of humans and werewolves. According to my parents, he was facing the likelihood of the breakout of another disease all because he hadn’t found someone who was

    CAINE’S POVThe silence that filled the room was suffocating. The way all eyes drifted to me, I knew I shouldn’t have uttered those words. I took a little drift away from Lucy’s stare, traveling my eyes around the room. The eyes of others carried a heavy weight, like a secret, lurking behind them. I made sure I observed all before returning my gaze to Lucy. Unlike others, and unlike the first time the question was asked, she was smiling. What changed?Wasn’t she curious to know what changed?”“Go on, Caine. Why don’t you tell us? Are we supposed to be expecting someone else,” she asked again. The rest returned to their meal, the forks clanging softly against their plates. Even their eyes were buried into their plates, and it felt like they were expecting some kind of outburst of something—a quarrel perhaps. “Are you okay mate?” Harper nudged me, Snapping me out of my zone. I forced a smile, nodding hurriedly.“Of course. I just didn’t spot Joanne in time. My sight I guess.” lie

They were discussing in lie tones, but Bryan seemed to be angrier. “You led them here!” He yelled, pushing Adrian. For reasons best known to Adrian, he wasn’t getting angry just like Bryan. He maintained his cool, taking the blows and the blame. “Deal with it,” Bryan snapped. “It’s already been dealt with,” Adrian said finally. My vision blurred for a few seconds, and I blinked several times to get a clearer view. Silence fell in the room after Adrain spoke, safe for Bryan’s heavy breathing. “You what?”“They’ve been dealt with. And Lucy drove off with their bodies to bury them somewhere far,” he explained. With the I saw things, Bryan wasn’t in support of that. He took two steps forward, and the third step placed him directly in front of Adrian.“You killed the cops?” My breath hitched after hearing what the offense was.

    CAINES POVIt was the second month since the arrest of Lilian. My father has been silent on the progress being made by my uncle and the rest of the investigation team—that’s if progress was being made. On the other hand, Natasha has been nothing but helpful. For reasons best known to her, she only let me discuss things I’d planned for and my father eventually left. She stood in as my therapist. On the other hand, Lucy is awkwardly absent from the house. She leaves so early and comes back really late at night. When I asked, she attributed the return of her parents and her brother whom the police department was after. I walked out of bed, moved to the mirror, and ran my fingers through the bandage on my head. Two months had come, and gone, yet I still couldn’t get an answer to the most bothersome question in my mind.Why Jasmine?A few days ago, I asked my father. I wanted to know why she was the only name that kept recurring in my head. I noticed the way he tried to avoid the qu
