Jasper’s POVI opened my eyes as soon as I heard the sound of lightning crack in the distance.I sat up and rubbed my eyes and felt a warm and soft body beside me.The lights were out but the light from the lightning filled the room with a blue light and I saw Cassie sleeping peacefully beside me. I turned on the faint night light and watched as her chest rose and fell and as she stirred in her sleep.My eyes feasted on her bare body and memories about the sublime night we had swam into my head.Her scent hung in the air and the room smelled of sweat and steamy sex. It made me want to pounce on her and begin all over again.I stroked her face and she smiled faintly in her sleep. She looked beautiful and I was happy to have her. I understand that she was a little jealous about me and Hazel and I didn’t mind at all. She had a right to be a bit concerned.The rain soon began to fall and hammer on the roof. The moon’s faint red glow was still visible and every now and then, when the light
Hazel’s POVI sat in my chair and was shaken thoroughly. What was he saying? The whole event flashed before my eyes and filled me with new fear. If he wasn’t there, I could’ve have died. My breathing was fast and unsteady and my heart was beating wildly.“Hazel, are you okay? Hazel?”Jasper’s voice sounded like it was from another dimension. It was eerie and faint and seemed to float on the wind. I felt myself falling into an abyss when suddenly, I felt something grab me by my waist. I felt myself being hoisted up and carried away to an unknown location and then I felt something soft beneath me.“Hazel? Hazel? Can you hear me?”It was Jasper’s voice again. I opened my eyes and saw a blurry figure standing above me.“Hazel, open your eyes. It’s me.”My eyes opened a little wider and my breath returned to my body.“Jasper?”I heard him sigh in relief.I felt a pressure beside me and a soothing hand ran through my hair.“You nearly passed out. You really should rest,” said Jasper faintly
The Lady in White’s POVI stood there watching him bleed and watching Hazel cry over his body. I felt nothing for him. I was dead but he deserved what he got.His anger was a compromise to the entire plan. In my ghost form, my fingers weren’t doused in blood when I slit his throat.They passed through his feeble human flesh so easily but each cut was more than 20 blades sharp.I had carried out the King’s orders; it was time to go.I stepped outside and found the sun rising. It was beautiful even now that I no longer had flesh. Its rays passed through me like a clear glass and I casted no shadow. I walked, my feet barely touching the ground. I couldn’t feel its warmth and was always feeling death’s cold hands, long after it had taken my soul.But even in death, my soul wasn’t free. I was a slave, working against my own will for the King of the Dead.I turned into the forest and walked through the trees. The animals that saw me were undisturbed by my presence. They never feared the dea
Hazel’s POVWe rushed Logan to the hospital. Jasper was driving like a manic. I had a cloth to his neck, trying my best to stop the bleeding. The car seats were stained scarlet and I was crying my eyes out.Logan had turned pale and was losing a whole lot of blood.“Logan, please stay with me. I’m begging you. Please stay with me.”His pulse had become very weak and his breath was faint. I couldn’t lose my mate. I just couldn’t.Jasper took a sharp turn and nearly swerved into another vehicle.“Manic! Are you insane?!” shouted the driver, but Jasper didn’t care. He sped forward and soon we could see the hospital in sight.I looked at Logan again. I gasped. He wasn’t breathing!“Jasper, hurry up!”He swerved again and parked in the parking lot.He ran out and rushed into the hospital. It didn’t take long for him to come back with a hoard of doctors and nurses along with a stretcher.They rushed to the car and pulled the door open.“Good job putting pressure on the wound, Miss. Don’t wo
Lorena’s POVI was woken up in the morning by Cassie’s screams. I jumped from the bed and I rushed downstairs and saw Cassie, frozen in place and looking as pale as a ghost.I walked up cautiously to her and soon stopped in my tracks. I saw the blood on the floor and some had squirted on the sofa.“What happened?”Cassie said nothing to me and began to cry again.I heard feet run down the stairs.“Miss Lorena?”I was stunned and ran towards Kaya. There was no way I was going to her see this gory sight.“Kaya! Wait! You shouldn’t be here.”“But Miss Lorena…”“No, Kaya. Go to your room. Just stay there. You can come down later.”She pouted and headed back upstairs. I saw her enter her room with a frown on her face.I walked up to Cassie and put a hand on her shoulder.“You should really sit down. You should call Jasper and make sure he’s okay.”“I already tried that! He’s not answering his phone!”I pulled her away from the pool of blood on the floor and made her sit down on a chair.Sh
Lorena’s POVI listened to Hazel’s heavy breathing over the phone. The silence was tense. I didn’t even know if she was still conscious.“Hazel? Are you still there?”Still nothing. I then heard Jasper’s voice in the background.“Hazel are you okay?”Finally I heard a voice. Hazel sounded fearful and the timbre of her voice was full of melancholy.“You…you need to… to go and see the seer. I can’t explain but something in me feels that you should go and see him.”I could hear her voice getting hoarse and croaky. She was holding back tears.“Hazel, I…”“Drive through the forest and take a right on a path. You should see his cottage there.”I tried to say something to her but the line went dead.I dropped the phone and turned around anxiously. Kaya looked at me puzzled.“Miss Lorena, are you okay? What’s the matter?”I swallowed hard and caught myself before I made my fear too evident to her.“Nothing sweetie. I have to just run a quick errand. How about you go to your room.”“Okay.”She
Lorena’s POVI looked at Ryder and he stared back at me.“We are not seriously going to enter his house,” he said angrily. “For all we know, he is probably a hoax. He might be blind for all we know. He keeps saying the ‘three of us’.”I looked at Ryder and there stared into the cottage. It looked cozy and inviting and besides, Hazel and Logan had been here and they were alright. I had to go in.I took a step forward but Ryder’s grabbed my arm violently.“Were you even listening to me?!”I scowled and pulled my hand away.“I chose to come so you should let me do what I want. I did ask you to give me the car to go alone but you refused.”I went inside and soon enough, I could hear Ryder’s heavy footsteps, defensively behind me.We looked around the circular room and my breath was taken away. It was a little shabby and in the walls hung intricate talismans and charms. He was the seer.I turned and saw him at a table with a three cups of what I thought was tea.“I’m glad you three finally
Lorena’s POVI was stunned. He had to be lying? There was no way this was true.“I know your mind doubts what I say, Lady Lorena, But I simply speak the truth. You are pregnant with the Beta’s child.”I felt my hand go to my stomach and I rubbed it slowly. There was no way a child was inside there. I felt fine. I closed my eyes and slowly, a tear began to run down my cheek. Who was I kidding? It was expected. Every time that I had sex with Ryder, we never used protection.“I can tell that you are shocked by the news. I suggest that you go home and get your head wrapped around it. But keep in mind, your child might not be a regular wolf once it is born. The effects of the Omen Moon are strong, especially on destines that are yet to be shaped.”I turned to look a Ryder and he had a blank expression on his face. I knew that he couldn’t believe it either. He took my hand and raised me up from the chair. We walked out of the little cottage without even a goodbye to the seer. My thoughts we
