Ady's POV"W-wow, I-I'm shocked, Auntie. I didn't think Jasper would be so, um, unique.""Yeah, Ady." said uncle Aman. "I'm sorry if I took advantage of you, but Jasper can't shift without you."I looked at Uncle Aman. I was a little annoyed with him because he left me in the woods, where big wolves showed up out of nowhere."I know you were mad at me, Ady, but I hope you forgive me.""Yes, you're right, I was mad, and I thought it was my end. You just left me in the woods." I said."I expected Jasper to come, and I wasn't wrong. You also helped him shift."I nodded. "Why does Jasper need to shift? From the book I read, he needs a full moon before he can shift..."Uncle Aman said, "Jasper isn't like the others.""You mean what?"Uncle Aman smiled instead of answering. Auntie had my hand."I hope what you saw will stay a secret, Ady. This is not only for Jasper's protection but also for yours."I nodded. I was suddenly thinking about Damon. If Jasper is also a werewolf, why doesn't he
Ady's POVJasper cupped both of my cheeks, then slowly moved his face closer to mine until our lips touched. Damn, I miss him so much. I could feel the warmth on my face. I never thought I'd admit that I miss this man. His warm hand felt like a tickle running through every nerve in my body. His hands felt so good. I could hear my heartbeat as his kiss got deeper. I heard the rhythm of his footsteps, which my feet mimicked as I felt the edge of his bed. I got worried because something might happen if I didn't stop Jasper. I know exactly what it is, but my body has betrayed me. My brain is telling me no, and that makes no sense. My body shook so much that I couldn't understand. It could be because my body doesn't do what my mind tells it to do.I had just felt the soft bed on my back. I grabbed Jasper's chest and forced myself to push him against me. Jasper sensed what I did, so he pulled his lips away from mine."J-Jasper..."Jasper looked at my hand, and then he held it. "You are trem
Ady's POV "Are you envious of them?" With a grin on his face, Jasper said. "If you want, we can also do that." I looked at Jasper for a few seconds. Even though we were busy grilling meat, I didn't know that he was looking at me while I was looking at the couple I was looking at. I keep thinking about what Martha said and how she looked at the couple. "I'm not jealous," I said. "Is it so?" Jasper said with a smile. "What happened to Martha?" I suddenly asked Jasper. He looked at me for just a second. "Did you talk to Martha?" "Yeah." Jasper nodded. "So what did she tell you?" "He told me not to love you too much and to live for myself." Jasper took a deep breath and then gave a sly grin. "She is still hurting." "What did you mean?" I asked. I suddenly felt interested. Jasper looked at the couple in the distance, then whispered. "Martha used to be Aston's girlfriend," Jasper said. "Oh, that guy's name is Aston," I said. "You mean the girl he's with is why they didn't stay
Ady's POV'Could I stop being a normal human just to be a werewolf with Jasper?' I thought.Jasper glanced at me. He was waiting for me to answer. I couldn't believe that Jasper would tell me that."You're quiet..." Jasper said. "Like I always tell you, I won't make you do something I know you don't want to, but..." Jasper held my hand. "My loves, I love you, and I don't want my being different to get in the way of our love. Will you accept me..."I smile. "I accept you, but I don't see myself turning into a...""I know," Jasper said. "I just thought about it because I don't want fate to control our lives. I don't want to be imprinted on someone else. I don't want that, lovelies. I want you and nobody else."I was silent.--Late at night, Jasper led me to one of the guest rooms in the house. The room has a glass wall like any other room, and only a thick curtain covers it so that I can't be seen from the outside when the light is on inside the room.I didn't go to sleep right away. M
Damon's POV"Well, what did you find out? Is she OK? What happened? What emergency?"As soon as I got out of the car, I went straight to my mom. As I had expected, she was still awake. It seemed like she was waiting for me. I went right into the house as soon as my mom got inside. Mom went to the kitchen to get water, and all I did was stand there and look at her."She is not at home," I said, then I took the water mom handed me when she came over.Mom frowned. "She is not at home?""I found out that one of the scholars at your foundation, Ma, is Ady," I told her.Mama was a little surprised by what I said. She didn't have any idea about that."Are you serious? How do you know?""I have a friend who's good at searching...." I looked at mom. "Don't you know who your scholars are?""I may have seen Ady's name before, but I didn't pay attention because I don't know who she is."I nodded and drank some water. "Wait, why did you suddenly bring up Ady's status as a scholar?""My friend said
Ady's POV"Oh my gosh..."I didn't expect Jasper to push open the bathroom door after I opened it for a second to get the clothes he would give me."What are you doing, Jasper? I don't have anything to wear..." I said it as my face turned red from embarrassment. I was just covered with a towel at that time."Jeez, there's still a cover on your body..." he said as he moved closer to me.I moved away from the sink until I could feel it behind me. I grabbed onto the sink and leaned slightly to keep Jasper's body from getting closer to mine. But Jasper moved his face to the side of my ear and whispered."Every part of my body feels warm like it wants to hold you in my arms and kiss your lips. My body is tense, my loves." Jasper spoke to me in almost a whisper.I don't know if it was because I was so nervous, but my breathing deepened."You know what could happen if you don't hold back," I said."I'm trying..." Jasper said. He instantly moved his body away from me. "Get dressed. I'll be wa
Ady’s POV“Are you trying to entice me, huh?”When Jasper suddenly spoke, I was surprised. We were walking in the woods right after breakfast. Because it was our last day there, Jasper invited us to walk through the woods. Later, we’ll return to the city, and it will be a long time before we get back to their resthouse.“You know I start to feel weak when you look at me like that.”I hit Jasper on the arm, but I was still slightly surprised because I was hurt. I wasn’t expecting his arm to be so stiff.“Haist, that’s rough,” I complained while rubbing my hand.“Don’t you want it to be hard?” He smiled at me. “It’s good when it’s tough...”My blood went to my face, which is why he must have noticed how red it was.“You’re acting silly again...”He just laughed, then took my hand and kissed the hurt part.“What are you thinking, staring at me?” he asked. “Why don’t you tell me about the pups again?”“No, it’s not that,” I said. “The other night because I overheard uncle and auntie talki
Damon's POV"What're you doing here?"I went back to Ady's house that night to see if she had come home, but she was still gone when I arrived. I was standing in front of the house, staring at it because she no longer responded to my messages. Because I didn't hear any noise coming from inside Ady's house, I knew her grandmother wasn't there. I took a deep breath and decided to stay in the car and wait there until grandma came to get close to me. It comes with both a basket full of groceries and an extra bag."I'll help you..." Then I quickly went up to the old woman and told her what I had to say. At first, she didn't say anything and just kept staring at me. "I'm here because I want to ensure Ady is okay."I took Grandma's basket, and she let it go. I grinned and took the extra bag it was carrying.As soon as I got inside, I put the groceries in the sink and the vegetables on the table."Thank you," said grandma."Alright," I said. I didn't feel welcome in the house, so I left so Gr
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
