I couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation as I asked him, "Where are they right now, Levi?"Levi's gaze met mine, his eyes filled with unwavering trust. "They are waiting for you in my office," he replied, his voice calm and reassuring. "I've made sure they understand the importance of this investigation."A wave of gratitude washed over me, appreciating the trust Levi placed in my abilities. With a nod of acknowledgement, I expressed my readiness. "Let's head there now," I suggested, a touch of determination in my voice. "We have important work to do."Levi and I walked side by side, our strides matching the gravity of the situation. The hallways of the pack house seemed to whisper with anticipation, acknowledging the weight of the moment. As we approached his office, I could feel a surge of energy building within me, propelling me forward.Levi opened the door to his office, revealing a space that exuded authority and command. It was a room filled with wisdom, adorned with me
“So… what now, Jasmine? What do we do about your alleged suspicions about the traitor?” Jason asked, standing up with his hands placed on the desk, with his eyes staring intently into mine, waiting for my response.I took a deep breath, steadying my thoughts before responding."We may have hit a roadblock," I began, my voice filled with a mix of resolve and uncertainty. "But I refuse to believe that our suspicions were unfounded. There is a traitor among us, and we will find them."Levi nodded, his expression mirroring my determination. "We can't afford to let our guard down," he added, his voice laced with conviction. "We need to remain vigilant and continue our investigation."I looked around the room, meeting the gaze of each pack member present. Their trust and loyalty were palpable, their commitment to our cause unwavering. I felt a surge of gratitude for their unwavering support."We will leave no stone unturned," I declared, my voice carrying a note of certainty. "We will dig d
Levi's gaze swept over the room, his eyes flickering with surprise as he absorbed the subtle changes. He turned to me, curiosity shining in his eyes. "Your room looks quite different from the way I last saw it, early this morning," he remarked, his tone laced with intrigue.I couldn't help but smile at his observation, a hint of mischief dancing in my eyes. "Oh, I kind of did a little bit of cleaning and decorating," I confessed, gesturing to the tasteful arrangement of trinkets and artwork adorning the room. "I found some things in my drawer and thought they would bring a touch of character to the space. It seems a woman was once an occupant of this room."A subtle change rippled across Levi's features, his expression growing pensive. It was as if my words had unearthed something long forgotten, a memory buried deep within his psyche. His eyes clouded momentarily, his focus shifting to a distant point beyond the room.For a fleeting moment, silence filled the air, thick with unspoken
Our eyes locked, and I could see the flicker of emotions dancing within his gaze. He took a moment to process my words, his face softening with a mixture of adoration and amusement."Alright," he finally replied, a playful glint in his eyes. "I'd let you protect me too. But have in mind, I'll protect you more than you do me. Okay?"His protective tone elicited a chuckle from deep within me. The atmosphere had shifted from the weight of his sister's memory to a lighthearted exchange of promises. I closed the distance between us, a mischievous smile playing on my lips. "Okay, my Protective Alpha," I whispered, savoring the sweet familiarity of our banter.Without hesitation, our lips met in a tender yet passionate kiss. It was a moment of reassurance, a physical manifestation of the love and devotion we shared. In that intimate embrace, time seemed to stand still, allowing us to revel in the depth of our connection.As our lips parted, a subtle smile danced upon Levi's face, his eyes sp
Levi, his presence a steady anchor by my side, nodded in understanding. As we entered the abandoned house, a chilling mix of scents filled the air—blood and wolf fur, a haunting reminder of the violence that had occurred within these walls. I drew a steadying breath, reminding myself of the task at hand.Navigating through the remnants of the living room, we carefully made our way towards the stairs. Each step creaked under our weight, the sound echoing through the desolate space. The hushed whispers of the past seemed to reverberate in the shadows, adding an eerie backdrop to our determined journey.Reaching the top of the stairs, we turned towards my father's room. The door stood slightly ajar, a silent invitation to uncover the secrets held within. With a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, we entered the room, allowing the memories to wash over us.As my gaze fell upon the disheveled furniture and torn curtains, Levi's voice broke the silence. "Jasmine, what exactly are we lo
Levi's hand found mine, his touch providing a comforting anchor amidst the whirlwind of emotions that engulfed me. His reassuring words washed over me like a soothing balm, offering a sense of security and unity. "Jasmine, I know this is a lot to process," he spoke, his voice tender with empathy. "But remember, we're in this together. We'll uncover the truth, no matter how difficult it may be."I took a deep breath, finding solace in his presence and the unwavering support he offered. "I know," I replied, my voice tinged with uncertainty. "But right now, it all feels like a lie to me. I don't even know where to begin."Levi pulled me close into a warm embrace, his arms encircling me with a sense of protection. "I understand how you feel," he murmured softly, his voice a soothing lull amidst the chaos in my mind. "Feeling lost and left in the dark can be overwhelming, but don't let it consume you. Instead, let's channel that anger and frustration into searching for clues. We'll find the
Levi nodded, his eyes reflecting both encouragement and curiosity. "It's a good shot," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. "Go ahead, give it a try."Taking a deep breath, I turned the dial to 3-2-4, my heart beating faster with each movement. The moment of truth had arrived, and I waited anxiously for the safe's response.As I input the combination, a brief moment of anticipation filled the air. Five seconds felt like an eternity as the safe processed the digits. Then, with a soft click, the safe signalled that the combination was incorrect.A sense of letdown washed over me, and I sighed softly. "I thought it might work," I admitted, my voice tinged with disappointment.Levi placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, his touch offering solace amidst the momentary setback. "It's okay," he said, his voice gentle. "We can try another combination. Let's think of something else that might be significant to your father."His supportive words lifted my spirits, and I pondered for a momen
As I settled into the plush leather seat of Levi's Mercedes, the comforting purr of the engine surrounded us as he pulled away from my neighborhood. The city lights started to twinkle as the sky gradually darkened, and the cool breeze seeped through the open windows, adding a refreshing touch to the evening air.Levi glanced at me, a reassuring smile on his face. "You know, we can go wherever you feel comfortable," he said. "But if you need some suggestions, there's this lovely little café downtown where we can sit, chat, and you can read and analyse the contents ofyour father’s journal."I considered his offer but hesitated, my mind still preoccupied with thoughts of my dad. "Actually, Levi, I think I'd really like to visit the city hospital," I said softly. "I want to see how my dad is doing. It's been a while, and I'm getting worried."Levi nodded understandingly, his eyes locked on the road ahead. "I get it, and I'll take you there, but just hear me out. The red fang pack members
As the waiter acknowledged his order and left to retrieve the wine, the conversation took an unexpected turn. Levi's question about our future caught me off guard for a moment, and I paused to gather my thoughts before responding."Say, Jasmine, what would you like our future to look like?" he asked, his eyes steady on mine.I considered his question carefully, letting the excitement of possibilities wash over me. "Not too complex, I guess," I replied with a thoughtful smile. "I'd like to explore the world with you. Travel to various countries, experience different cultures, and make memories together."The genuine interest in his gaze spurred a spark of connection between us, and I could feel the depth of the conversation growing as we shared our desires and dreams.Just then, the waiter returned with the wine, the clinking of glasses a subtle reminder of the present moment. He poured the rich red liquid into our glasses, the deep color mirrored in the depths of the liquid.As the wa
A playful challenge glinted in his eyes, and I couldn't help but laugh softly. The atmosphere was charged with a mixture of anticipation and desire as he carried me upstairs to our master bedroom. In no distant time we found ourselves devouring each other’s lips as the growing sexual tension between us reached an all time high. My soft gasps and moans filled the air as his hands began exploring every inch of my body, turning me on more and more. I managed to break off from the kiss and I said, “I’m ready, my love, please be gentle, you know it’s my first time.” Levi then placed his right hand on my cheek and uttered reassuringly, “I will, trust me okay?” And afterward, he proceeded to Mark me as his mate. It all happened and I enjoyed every bit of it. I wish we did it sooner because it just felt too good. He’s like a master of Sex or something. When I look back towards the journey I’ve had with Levi, it all seemed to have happened so fast, I couldn’t believe that we would end up like
*Two Weeks Later**Jasmine’s POV*I stepped into the steam-filled bathroom, the warm water cascading down the tiles and fogging up the mirror. Today was my birthday, but it held more significance than just turning a year older. As the water splashed on my skin, I reminded myself that it was going to be a busy day. A day filled with excitement, nerves, and a touch of apprehension.Levi's image flashed through my mind as I reached for the soap. The approval from the top ranking board of the Black Moon Pack was a turning point for us. The fact that he could officially have a human mate was a milestone that had been a long time coming. The countless meetings, discussions, and negotiations had finally paid off, and today, Levi and I were going to seal our mate bond.I couldn't help but smile as the water rinsed away the soap, a mixture of happiness and anticipation bubbling up within me. The rhythmic sound of water droplets hitting the tiles was like a soothing melody, easing my nerves and
*Levi’s POV*The drive to Burger Queens felt unusually long, the weight of the news and the gravity of the situation hanging heavily between Jasmine and me. The air inside the car was heavy with silence, our usual chit chat and playful banter was eplaced by a somber atmosphere. The knowledge of Sarah's betrayal and the loss of Tyrel weighed on us, creating a distance that words couldn't just bridge.As we parked and exited the car, we exchanged a glance, both of us bracing ourselves for what we were about to face. The absence of any dramatic police presence was surprising, and it heightened the sense of convenience. The once vibrant eatery now stood empty and abandoned, a testament to the violence that unfolded here.Jasmine and I moved inside cautiously, our steps echoing in the quiet space. We scanned the area, our eyes searching for any sign of Cherry and Tyrel. And then, faint sobs reached my ears, drawing my attention towards a corner of the room. I met Jasmine's gaze, and she no
Hearing Aaron shamelessly lie about betraying me for the safety of our pack, I felt a surge of adrenaline course through my veins. Aaron's callous words and betrayal had pushed me to my breaking point. With a swift, decisive motion, I reached for the silver dagger piercing my chest and pulled it out, ignoring the searing pain that followed.Before Aaron could react, I lunged at him, my movements fueled by a mix of rage and determination. He seemed taken aback, perhaps underestimating my strength and resolve. With a primal roar, I drove the dagger straight into his heart, making sure not to miss a beat.His eyes widened in shock, and I saw a flicker of realization in them as he realized the consequences of his actions. It was a swift and brutal act, but at that moment, I couldn't let him harm me or Cherry any further. Adrenaline coursed through me, numbing the pain and giving me the strength I needed to confront the traitor.As I pulled the dagger from his heart, his body crumpled to th
As the pain intensified, I felt my legs weaken beneath me, and I stumbled to the floor. The silver arrow protruding from my chest was a chilling reminder of my vulnerability. Cherry's voice sounded distant as she explained the gravity of the situation, her own fear evident in her trembling words."It's a silver arrow, Tyrel," she said, her voice quivering with worry. “I need to get help!”I tried to focus on her words, on the urgency in her eyes, but the pain was overwhelming, clouding my thoughts. The world around me seemed to blur as my consciousness wavered, and I struggled to stay conscious.Cherry's tears fell freely as she held onto me, her touch offering a small comfort amidst the chaos. Her voice was a constant reassurance, urging me to hold on, to stay strong."We need an ambulance!" she called out to the people around us, her voice filled with desperation. "PLEASE SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!” As civilians ran in panic, Cherry remained by my side, refusing to leave me even
Still processing the intensity of the encounter, I mustered the courage to ask, "What's your name?"She smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling with intrigue. "Cherry Leonhart," she replied, her voice soft and melodious. "And you?""N-nice to meet you, Cherry," I stammered, a mix of nervousness and excitement making my heart race. "I'm Tyrel.""Pleased to meet you, Tyrel," she said, her smile growing wider. "I'm glad we're both okay after that accident.""Yeah, me too," I replied, trying to find my composure as I continued to get lost in her eyes.Her concern for my car made me realize the practical matters at hand. "I'll have to call the insurance company, and they'll handle the rest," I explained, gesturing towards the mangled wreckage of my Red Ferrari."I'm glad it's all settled," she said, her attention never wavering from me."Yeah," I replied absentmindedly, still captivated by her presence.Curiosity took hold, and I couldn't resist asking, "Where were you headed before the accident
Aaron took a moment to absorb my words, his expression reflecting both concern and support. "I'll deliver the message," he said, his voice unwavering. "But be prepared for their reaction.""I know it won't be easy," I said, a hint of weariness in my voice. "But it's time we take a stand and assert our own authority as a pack. We won't be pawns in their schemes any longer."Aaron nodded, his loyalty and dedication shining through. "You can count on me, Alpha Tyrel," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.I took a moment to gather my thoughts, choosing my words carefully as I addressed Aaron. "I want to give you a piece of advice," I began, my tone calm yet serious. "Your dedication and love for the pack's welfare are commendable, but at times, it feels like you care even more than I do, the Alpha. It can be seen as if you have ulterior motives, beyond the pack's welfare."Aaron's expression changed, a mix of surprise and concern crossing his features. "Are you implying that I have h
After the address in the hall room, I retreated to the solace of my room, needing a moment to collect my thoughts. The weight of responsibility and the enormity of the decisions I had just made settled heavily on my shoulders. As I entered my room and closed the door behind me, I let out a sigh of both relief and frustration.Sitting on the edge of my bed, I ran my hands through my hair in exasperation. "What do I do next?" I whispered to myself, my voice reflecting a mix of uncertainty and self-doubt. My father had always been a wise and strong Alpha, and in moments like this, I missed his guidance and wisdom.I leaned back against the headboard, staring at the ceiling as I replayed the events of the day in my mind. The glimmer of hope I had seen in my pack members' eyes was encouraging, but the road ahead was still unclear. I knew that forging a new path towards unity and reconciliation would be challenging, and I questioned whether I had the strength and wisdom to lead my pack thro
