Ady’s POV “Who is Jacob?” I asked Damon. He suddenly called Jasper Jacob, the person we were looking for but who was dead. Damon turned toward us and looked confused. “It is nothing. Let’s go...” Damon said. Jasper looked at me and then pulled me closer to the car. After we got inside, we looked at the man who helped us. He watched us and talked to Damon as if they knew each other. After Damon started the car’s engine, he drove the car away from the cemetery. We left the man, which puzzled me. “Why did we just leave him?” I asked Damon as I looked at the man as we drove away from the cemetery. “And why are we in such a rush?” Damon didn’t answer. Instead, he abruptly turned to the left, causing my body to hit the car door. “Dude, can you drive safely?” Jasper grumbled. Jasper turned toward me. “My sweeties, are you okay?” “Yes, I’m fine.” I held my head as I sat down and looked out the window. When I saw something moving from the woods on the side of the road, my eyes widened.
Ady's POV "Are you hungry? Let's eat first." Damon stopped the car at a gas station with a few restaurants nearby. When Damon parked the car, he got out immediately, and Jasper and I followed. We went straight into the restaurant and looked for a good spot. When we sat down, the waiter came right over and handed us the menu. "My treat, so order whatever you want," said Damon. Jasper grinned but didn't say anything else. After a few minutes, the waiter quickly took our order and left. I turned around, and the ambiance was solemn and very romantic. Couples and families are eating at that restaurant. "You should tell us what happened, Damon," Jasper said. "Talking to those shifters without any doubts makes me feel like you know them, especially the one who helped us find the grave of Ady's parents." Damon took a quick look at me before looking back at Jasper. "I told you I used to live in that place." "So you know those creatures?" Jasper asked. Damon just nodded to respond. Jaspe
Ady’s POV "Was the creature I saw in the dark before a werewolf?" I tried to remember the past while sitting on the bed but couldn’t. Because of it, I’m troubled. Did I become interested in werewolves because I saw one? I got on the bed. "Damon used to live in Santa Isabel, where we saw the werewolves earlier. Is it possible?’ I shook my head no. ‘NO. It was impossible. Impossible.’ I took a deep breath and then lay down on the bed. ------ Damon’s POV "So it’s true..." I put my hands in both pockets, turned my back on Mom, and walked toward the glass wall. Small lights from businesses, homes, and cars shone in that part of the city, making it look like the sky was full of stars. "My father didn’t hurt me in any way." "It’s a good thing he didn’t hurt you. But what if he did?" "I told you, Mom, Dad, and we just talked." Mama approached me, and I quickly looked at her, who was also looking out at the glass wall. "What did you do in Santa Isabel? How come you went there?" "
Damon’s POV “Whose house is this?” I took a quick look at Mom. Our car stopped in front of Ady’s home. We even caught up with Jasper and Ady as they left the house. I saw that Mom’s forehead wrinkled when she saw Ady’s grandmother. “I guess you know the old woman, Mom.” Mama looked at me and seemed confused. It surprised me when I first met Ady’s grandmother. That’s why I suddenly left. I remembered her in the hospital. “Y-you mean Ady is Rafael’s daughter?” Mom asked. I gave her a slight nod while she was holding his chest. “I can’t stay away from Ady, Mama. We owe her. Because her father saved us, she’s now an orphan. I-I can’t just leave her alone, Mom.” I saw Mom’s tears. Mom immediately rubbed it with her hand. “I’d like to talk to that woman,” said Mom. I turned toward Ady’s house and saw Jasper’s motorcycle leaving. I turned to my mom when she suddenly opened the door. “Ma...” I exited the car and stopped her before she could cross the road. I looked at Ady’s house be
Damon’s POV "Yes. I know your secret." I looked toward mom when Grandma said this. There’s a chance she knows because her son saved us. But Ady doesn’t remember anything or what happened. And she only found out about my secret because I told her and because she was a keen observer. Granny smiled. "My son told me that your husband was the reason he had to help you. Your husband is hurting you." "Ah..." said Mom. "My husband is hurting my child. Rafael saw it while he was passing by. I’m sorry that your son got involved with the trouble in our family." I frowned while looking at Granny. Does she know the secret? "But I’m wondering why he was so scared the night before the accident?" Grandma glanced at Mom. "You’re also a mother, and you know when your son is lying or in trouble. "Tell me, was what happened to my son that night an accident?" Mama and I didn’t answer. Instead, we just looked at Grandma. "Ady, that accident made a big impact on her. We left Santa Isabel so Ady could
Ady's POV "Wow, after Damon and the handsome guy earlier, she's got something new." "Looks are deceiving indeed. She seems modest, but..." I heard students laughing as I walked by. Almost everyone at school already knows me. I am like an artist constantly being followed by rumors and false accusations. If I try to defend myself, I'm sure things will get even worse instead of everything being okay. "So what? She's beautiful." I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at the group of girls. Zek was there and looked at them. I could see the surprise on the faces of the women. "A beautiful woman is not only beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. It's not surprising that you're jealous of her since you're beautiful on the outside." Zek said with a grin. I was surprised at what Zek did. I wasn't expecting that from him because we don't know each other well. He looked at me and was also a little surprised, but he quickly put a smile on his lips. He came right up to me wh
Ady's POV "Are you not yet sleepy?" After what had happened earlier, Jasper made a video call to me. I looked at the time on my phone; it was a quarter after ten. What we're talking about is anything to keep the conversation going. It's like he has a full battery because he's upbeat and not tired yet. "I guess you don't want to go on with your story about this new guy at your university who wants your attention," Jasper told me. "What?" I said, surprised. "I never said that he wanted my attention. I just said that he reminds me of you..." "That is the way it is. Don't speak with him." Jasper said. He has moved because his background has also changed. He may have gone to bed. "What if he talks to me?" I joked. "I'm being rude if I don't answer when he asks." "You know I'm possessive, don't you, my loves?" I was surprised. I remember Jasper telling me he was jealous, but it wasn't obvious. "So what about Damon? Can't I talk with him too? And if he comes near me, I'll avoid him?"
Damon's POV "Why do you get up so early, son?" I looked at her when Mom approached me on the couch with a cup. She was sitting down next to me. "Didn't you sleep last night because of what happened?" I just shook my head. I can't tell my mom about the dream I just had. Maybe that will give her more to think about. "I just got up early, Mom," I said. "Son," my mom said, looking at me. "I know that Ady's grandmother doesn't want it, but we need to help her in any way we can, whether it involves money or anything else. If we do this, I will feel less guilty and be able to sleep better at night. I nodded. "Even if you don't tell me, I will do that." "But, son, that's it," the mom said. "I know you have feelings for Ady, but it would be unfair to her if you kept those feelings. We are the reason she lost his parents..." I smiled a little. "Let me do what I want, Mom." If I use my feelings, it will be easier for me to protect her." I breathed deeply. "She is also in love with someon
Ady's POV I got a tight hug from my grandmother after I got my medal a cum laude and graduated from the architecture course. A lot happened, and everything was memorable. I thought I wouldn't be able to graduate yet, but here I am today, wearing a cap and gown. "Congratulations!" Damon gave me a hug when he saw me. He also wore his graduation gown and waved his diploma and medal at me. Both Ranzel and Zek came up to me. Ranzel hugged me while Zek gave me a flower. His father's old pack became part of Damon's pack. They all accept Damon as their leader. "My loves!" When he saw me, Jasper smiled widely. He brought me flowers and chocolates as a gift. He also gave me a big hug. Jasper's university graduation was last week, so he graduated before Damon, and I did. As soon as Jasper let go of me, Mama Minerva hugged me. I call her mom because that's what she wants me to do. Damon and Mama Minerva are still together, and Uncle Aman and Jasper are together. Jasper put his hand around my
Ady's POV My heart was pounding hard, and I was sure this wolf would find me no matter what I did to hide. It attacked several things in the house to catch me, but I was able to get away, so its growl got louder. I hid behind the ample cabinet and writhed in agony from a leg injury. I also saw the blood on the plant that Jasper put there. I put my hand over my mouth so I wouldn't scream or let out a weak moan that the wolf might hear. As the rustling got closer, it made me even more nervous. My tears kept coming out of fear, too. "Ahhh!" When I heard the voice, my eyes grew wide. I was afraid, but I looked in to see what was happening. "Ady, are you okay?" It was Damon's mother speaking. I saw her standing there with blood on her torn clothes and wounds on her forehead, thigh, and arm. "Y-yes," I said in response to his question. "Stay exactly where you are," Minerva said. Then it suddenly turned into a wolf. She has gray fur and is probably tiny compared to the rest of the pac
Ady's POV I woke up feeling like a thick blanket wrapped around me. That warm, hard stuff felt so good on the skin. Later, it started to move, so I opened my eyes. Even though my vision was blurry, I knew who the man was who hugged me. "J-jasper?" I said weakly. "My loves," Jasper said. His face, which had been blank, suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be thinking deeply. "How're you feeling?" I smiled. "I'm fine." Jasper turned his head away from me and sniffed. "I am sorry you got hurt. I didn't keep my promise to protect you." I lifted my hand and put it on his cheek. "That is not true." "What I'm stating is true because you wouldn't have done this if..." I didn't let Jasper finish his sentence. Instead, I grabbed his neck and pulled him closer to me until our lips touched. It was just a nibbling kiss, but for me, it said a million things that I wanted him to feel. "What's that for?" "For keeping me alive." I smiled at him, and he smiled back. "Jasper!" Jasper and I bot
Jasper's POV "W-what? We're not cousins; we're twins." The response surprised me. "Dad, you're just kidding, right?" Dad didn't say anything and just kept looking at me. I don't know what I will think or feel right now. I smirked. "This looks like something I've seen in a movie. Dad, if you're serious, tell me, son." "I am telling the truth. Jasper, this is not a movie," said dad. "My best friend is Soledad, and my girlfriend is Minerva. Even though we've been together long, she wasn't my imprint. Iago imprinted her. When she found out, she told me right away, and because it was fate, she said there was nothing we could do. I pursued her because she was planning to kill herself. She didn't like Iago, and there were only two ways to eliminate the imprint. Either one of them or both of them died. And to save her from such a sin, I went after her and did everything I could to get her to accept Iago, even though it hurt me a lot. Minerva agreed, but we had promised that we would be each
Ady's POV "D-damon?" When I saw Damon's condition, it made me cry. He's staring at me, but I can only hear grunts because he's a wolf. If Damon is the white wolf before me, Jasper is the white wolf who attacked the black wolf. I was seated next to Damon. "Ahhhh," I exclaimed, trying to sit up straight. I turned to Damon and smiled a little. "I'm not going to die. The wolf bit me and almost crushed my bones. I escaped the wolf's bane." My breathing got deeper. I grabbed just above my wound and bit my lip so hard that it almost bled because I bit down hard on it. It hurt like something was moving inside my wound, and I felt very hot inside, like I had a fever. Because of the latter's canine, I had to gasp to view my wound. Later, the white wolf moved closer to me. He got up weakly and came to me. It was staring at me, so I stroked its head. Its old wounds are healing, and it is a mystery to me. "Y-you're healing..." I whispered. I'm trying to change the way I talk so Damon doesn't
Damon's POV "Hello, son. You make it." I didn't think that my dad would be the first person I saw when I got to the top of the mountain. The air is cold, and fog covers the entire area. "D-dad." Dad chuckled. "Hmm, you don't seem happy. Long time no see." "As far as I can tell, you're not glad to see me. It would be pointless if I hugged you." Dad laughed. Because of wolfsbanes between us, he halted a few meters away. It was like a garden of wolfsbane plants. "How does it feel? Be a Lycan? To be the strongest of all?" he asked. "Did you feel the craving for blood and power?" "Why would you ask? Are you curious to know if we feel the same way?" "No. We'll never feel the same way again. You are different." "Yes, you are right; I am different. Both of us are different." I said. The wind started blowing again, and the smell of wolfsbane drifted through the air. I felt something strange inside my body. I can't explain why. But it's like hot water that starts to boil inside of me.
Jasper’s POV "Mom, do you know anything?" We were talking in the kitchen while Dad sent everyone out. Ady, Damon, my dad, and my mom stayed with me. Their expressions were serious, and I got the feeling that no one wanted to answer my questions. I could feel the tension in them, and it looked like Ady and I were the only ones who didn’t know what was happening. "Ady should not be here," Mom said. "Why? She’s my girlfriend, so she’s part of the family," I said. "She’s your imprint?" There was shock at Damon’s question. He glanced at Ady. "Yep, she is." Damon smiled. "I’m relieved." I scowled at what Damon said, but I didn’t pay attention. I looked at mom and dad as if they were talking to each other with their eyes. "You aren’t telling me something. Damon knows something that I don’t. Why are you doing those things? Are you also keeping secrets from me?" I asked. "What’re you talking about, Jasper?" dad asked. "You have no idea, dad?" Dad stared at Mom for a second before tu
Damon's POV "What?" Jasper glanced at me, then at his mother, and then at me again. "I think they were using blackmail," Jasper said. "Yeah, Mama won't go with them because she'll die before that happens," I said. "I must go." "Where're you going?" Jasper's mom asked. "I'll find mom." "You're alone," it asked. "Wait until Aman comes to save your mother." I frowned when I heard Jasper's father's name for the first time. Aman? Is that his name? "There is no need. I'm not part of your pack; you don't have to help them." "But you helped Granny and Ady." Jasper's mom said. "Because they were the reason then, Mama. They were the reason Ady's parents died; they saved them. Now, Ady's grandmother, and she almost died because of them, and because he was a..." "Jasper, if they were the reason, Minerva didn't force them, I'm sure." Jasper's mom said. When she mentioned Mama, she seemed to know her too. "I need you to be considerate, Jasper. She needs help, and I'm sure that even if sh
Damon's POV "What? Blood Moon Twins legend?" Jasper asked. "Well, that's a new one on me. I don't know anything about that story. So there is a legend, and only your mother knows?" I nodded. "It was just a story. I didn't believe it either at the time, but one of the descriptions in the story shows me that the myth is true. I was born a lycan, and it's possible that Jacob was one, too. Like in the story, we were born twins under the blood moon." "Perhaps it's just a coincidence," Jasper said. "Why did his father take Jacob? You said it had only been a few hours since you were born, so Jacob still needs your mother's milk. I'm just curious." "I also have no idea why he took Jacob or how he knew that Jacob was his son." "You mean your mom's ex could have taken the wrong baby? I mean, you're possibly his child and not Jacob's." I didn't speak. I've been thinking about that a lot. Mom said the DNA test showed that my father and I were different, but Armando took Jacob, and I have no
