"What are you two doing?" Jasper asks, even though his eyes are on Bryan. He quickly walks over and stops beside me, running his hand down my lower back and holding me close to his body. Even though this is a clear act of possessiveness, I kind of like it...."Just settling things between us..." Bryan says looking at me softly. "Our breakup was pretty messy, I wanted to apologize for what I did and said... I can understand that I was an idiot now.""Really?" Jasper tries hard to look like he doesn't care, but I feel his hand waver on my waist.Bryan gives a cynical smile, and I feel the tension building here...."Jasper." I call out softly, lifting my face to look at him, and I feel my chest warm as he looks back at me. "You guys can't miss this one, okay...?""Yes, Reddy. I'll win it for you." Jasper leans in to kiss me, but Bryan clears his throat, and that causes me to lower my head and his lips brush against my forehead... My face is burning so bad, damn it."Let's go to the court
I know it's extremely rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversation... But I can't help it.I approach them discreetly, treading as lightly as possible, and when I can spy on them, I just hide behind the wall, making sure they can't see me even if they turn that way.My heart is beating desperately against my chest in a mix of anxiety and adrenaline when I hear Bryan's voice a little louder, "I've been putting this off for a while now, so we should just put an end to it soon.""An end?" Alice asks in her calm, surprisingly relaxed voice. Almost as if she didn't give a damn."For you and me."There is a long moment of silence that makes me want to bite my nails."What do you mean make an end for you and me?" Her voice sounds sharper this time, "This is no time for jokes, Bryan.""I'm quite serious now, Alice."She gives a sarcastic laugh, "You can't be serious."Another long moment of silence."It's because of that girl, isn't it?" Now Alice sounds really shaken... her voice even wa
I take a deep breath as Amber says again in a loud tone, "What? Did the words die on your tongue?"I shift my gaze to her slowly, my breathing getting heavier and heavier."I hear you're sharing a room with Jasper... aren't you embarrassed at all?" She clicks her tongue, crossing her arms. "I expected you to at least have some decency, but sharing a room with-""Why don't you shut up?" I cut her off quietly, feeling the moonlight on my skin, warming me slightly - which in itself is quite strange... But this feeling in my body....And my conflicting words between calmness and aggression surprise her slightly, making her eyes widen...With a trembling voice, she says... "What did you say-""I told you to shut up." I repeat with the same tone, and she takes a step back, as if intimidated.I sigh deeply, looking up at the sky... And something starts scratching inside me again... I don't know what it is... I'm getting dizzy...."Scarlett." I hear a familiar, yet unexpected voice. I bring m
Unlike the other stages, this time each participant was put in a room with a supervisor, and we were given only one equation to solve. And it doesn't matter how long it takes you to solve it, as long as it's done within three hours. The way I see it, that's a really generous amount of time, since it took me ten minutes to solve it.All right, maybe the anger I'm feeling at Jasper, Bryan and everyone around me was the perfect fuel to get me to focus on the way the numbers engage, on the story they tell me. And I dare say that if I stared at them any longer, I would find out a lot more than I was asked to.However, what really surprised me was that when the ten candidates were brought back together and it was announced who had correctly solved the question, exactly four names appeared on the screen.Alfred JohnsonScarlett DavisKevin SmithRobert MorrisApparently, the speed to solve really mattered.And that makes me feel anxious.Outside, I throw my arms up and stretch, feeling the t
When we arrive on the floor, I can already notice the movement, as students are clustered around in small groups, red cups in hand. I smell alcohol from afar and wrinkle my nose as Kevin guides me to the only open room.As we walk, I notice hungry eyes on me... I can even feel the lust that hits my skin in the form of a sharp gaze... And I like how it makes me feel... Like I'm hot, powerful.Kevin gives me a discreet look over his shoulder and holds my arm, as if trying to show that we're together. I don't know if it's some kind of code between men, but it seems to work.Finally we reach the room which is crowded and has loud music. There is also smoke, they are smoking something that stinks and I can't tell exactly what it is. But my eyes scan the place, noticing some familiar faces like Nathan, who is sitting shirtless on a chair and there is a girl sitting on his lap. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's one of the West College cheerleaders...."Do you want something to drink?" Kevin asks
Bryan looks at me surprised, then holds my waist tightly and leans in to kiss me. I think I'm going to give up... that Jasper will stop us, but when I feel Bryan's soft lips against mine, I know none of that will happen - which makes me even angrier.He's wary and sticks his tongue out slightly, rubbing it against my lips... and I open a small passage for him to put it inside my mouth. Bryan hesitates, so I slide mine into his mouth, rubbing lightly, starting a slow but deep circular motion.Holding tightly to my waist and the back of my neck, Bryan deepens our kiss, dictating the rhythm as he always did every time we kissed. And I'm overcome by a sense of familiarity... this kiss tastes like longing, but it's not mine.And even with my eyes closed, I can feel the way Jasper's eyes press into my skin... it's burning, almost cutting me. But I don't let that intimidate me... I want him to regret causing these conflicting feelings in me... to regret messing with my head and acting like i
I can't believe it... this smell, this feeling... I'm not wrong.I wasn't wrong.The way she's reacting to my pheromones, rubbing her breasts against me in an attempt to relieve the pressure from her nipples... she's reacting to my pheromones. There is no mistake.She's a werewolf.And I can't resist the temptation... I scoop her up in my arms and carry her back to our floor, to our room... I'm dying, dying to feel what sex with my mate is like... now that I really know she is my Luna.When we finally come, I slowly release her onto the bed, releasing even more pheromones that make her moan and press her knees together, rubbing her thighs together to relieve the tickle that probably touches her entrance....Ah... I'm salivating."I think I'm sick..." She mumbles, bringing her hand to the middle of her legs fearfully... "Jasper, my body is hot..."Wow... I'm going to go crazy.I lean over her, bringing my nose to her neck, and as I inhale deeply, I feel my cock pulsing inside my pants.
I open my eyes with difficulty, feeling my body ache and heavy. My vision is still getting used to the blurry ceiling when I blink a few times and finally manage to focus. I lower my eyes and try to move, feeling something restrict my movements... It's an arm.I move my head, tilting it slightly, and notice that Jasper is lying very close, his arm across my body. His closed eyelids and long eyelashes hold me for a moment... I feel bewitched, unable to move a single muscle or move away from him.I don't know what came over me last night... But I really felt good when I felt Jasper's touch, the brushing of our skins and the bump of our hips....What am I thinking?I close my eyes tightly, trying to clear these thoughts, but a low, sleepy laugh makes me flinch. I open my eyes slowly, noticing that now, his brown eyes are on me, looking at my face in a caressing hand... I can't help but sigh slightly."Are you feeling okay?" Jasper asks slowly, his voice just as sleepy.I nod slowly, and
The journey was very smooth, but as Jasper had already said, his town is really in the countryside. The hours we spent on the road were long, but with the music on the radio and our silly banter, the time passed so quickly that I hardly noticed.As we drove further into the interior of the state, the denser the pine forest became. I felt anxious about being swallowed up by the green landscape, but whenever uncertainty took over my mind, I would look at Jasper, his serene countenance, his silly smile that he always gave when he noticed my eyes on him.And every time our gazes met, butterflies danced in my stomach."We're almost there..." He says, catching my eye, but he keeps his eyes fixed on the road and his hands firmly on the steering wheel, "Keep looking, Reddy... you're about to see the biggest, most beautiful lake of your life."Anticipation burns in me and, as he opens the roof of the car, the wind starts to ruffle my hair. I lean over the door, my eyes fixed on the horizon...
"It's really a shame to lose you, Miss Davis... But we understand your decision." Dean says, looking at me with a sympathetic expression. He's not an easy man to show emotion to, but I can sense that he's really sad about losing me. "You're one of the best students at this college, and you've just brought home a trophy for our institution... Come to think of it, isn't there any way to change your mind?"I give a soft smile, "I'm afraid not."He returns my smile and then scratches his gray beard, "Well, at least I tried.""Thank you for everything you've done for me." I say, with true gratitude shining in my eyes. "I'll go my own way from now on, but I'll always carry the kindness you and the teachers have shown me."I notice emotion reflecting in his eyes, wetting his eyelashes so discreetly that I hardly notice it. If it hadn't been for my even sharper senses, I wouldn't have noticed."Go on, child... I wish you the best."Now I'm the one fighting emotion as I say goodbye to him and
His words leave me stunned, or maybe it's the influence Jasper has over me that leaves my mind blank... I don't know, I just give in completely. His hot kisses down my neck, up my jaw and once again finding my lips make my entrance burn even hotter.Jasper's tongue seeks mine in a hungry intertwining as his hands move my hips again, encouraging me to ride him again. I obey, giving in to the rhythm he imposes both in the kiss and in the way I'm jerking my hips, rolling my belly, colliding our skins that meet in a hollow sound.I feel an intense pleasure creeping up on me, chilling my skin whenever the tip hits the sensitive spot inside me. And maybe this feeling is good for Jasper too, because he's moaning hoarsely and breathing heavier and heavier..."I can't stand it, Reddy..." He says suddenly, thrusting his hips up and pulling all the hard-on out of me, eliciting a grunt from me. "I've already been too passive with you."Again, I don't quite understand his words, but his movements
Jasper looks at me with such intensity that he steals my breath.His hands are trailing gently up my arm, his fingers rubbing so softly that my skin shivers. And when his husky voice reaches my ears, I shudder completely..."Are you sure you want this...? Maybe you don't know the weight of your words."I bite my lip, holding our eye contact."Yes, I'm sure..." I notice his eyes lower to my lips, and his breathing becomes short, "I want to be with you, Jasper... No matter what."He places his hand on the back of my neck, stroking my jaw with his thumb, alternating his gaze between my eyes and my parted lips. Taking care not to touch the wound caused by Alice, with the discreet bandage he himself put on me, Jasper pulls my face even closer to his, making our breaths one.And with a simple brush of his lips, he gives me a light kiss, almost as if he's experiencing the sensation of touching them, even though it's already so familiar. His tongue rubs against my mouth, but never quite enter
Even though it wasn't my first time in Jasper's house, it still felt like it.I don't remember if I was surprised by its size or if I was more concerned with giving myself over completely to the sensations it caused in me and I didn't understand. I don't know if I got attached to the details, to the glass walls that don't prevent the full moon from entering and illuminating us. It's almost as if he wasn't afraid of it... so different from me that, ever since I got here, I've been cowering in a dark, secluded corner.With a blanket around my shoulders, I search for warmth, but it doesn't fully warm me because I'm still shivering, with thin snarls escaping my lips, even though I fight so hard to suppress them.Jasper is in the kitchen, making us something to eat. I said I wasn't hungry, but he insisted on making something, since I haven't eaten anything decent all day. I considered accompanying him to the kitchen, but my legs are too weak to support this body of mine. And I confess, I'm
I take a deep breath before opening the door to my room. Now that I'm really so close to returning to reality, it feels like a small eternity has passed, not just seven days. And now I'm faced with this strange familiarity, a feeling of not belonging, of no longer fitting in here.But I gather my courage and turn the knob, opening the door, smelling the familiar scent of my perfume mixed with Lily's. I finally enter the room. And when I finally enter the room, I'm greeted by a sudden hug from my friend that almost makes us fall over. I let my laughter echo as I hold onto the door, feeling her firm and warm embrace... I confess, Lily is certainly the only thing I've missed in this place."Letty! Argh, I've missed you so much!" She squeezes me even tighter, pressing our cheeks together, "Tell me everything! Tell me every detail! Where's the medal? I need to see it!""You don't even know if I won..." I giggle, and she suddenly pulls away, holding me by the arms."But I have no doubt that
It's amazing how a single week can seem so long, so frantic, and change an entire life.Seven days have passed since we arrived here in search of victory in the competitions. And today, with the gold medals around our necks, we returned to our city, to the campus I've made my home. On this bus, which drives calmly along the long roads, we expected to be celebrating our victories. But there is nothing but a deep silence, a discomfort that hangs in the air, suffocating me...All because Alice remains in hospital.The girls who were with Alice and ran away when things got complicated have isolated themselves in the back seats, without the courage to look at me directly or talk to anyone else. In fact, they seem to be afraid of me. Well, I can't blame them, I really was responsible for the incident, for the rumors that spread like wildfire. And although I haven't been directly accused of doing it, I know that it will only be a matter of time before those girls say what happened.But who w
I watch that scene with genuine surprise and awe. What I imagined I had seen at the beginning of our story is actually happening right before my eyes. The face of a wolf slowly begins to take shape, just as its muscles peel away, moving under the skin, just as I remember mine doing.Slowly, the tall, strong body leaning forward transforms, tearing even the pants it was wearing. His skin is covered in a black fur, so dark that it robs me of air. Before my eyes, Jasper transforms into a wolf so majestic and large that, inevitably, I shrink as far as I can into the bathtub, hugging my trembling body to the point where my chin quivers.Sitting on his hind legs, Jasper — or this wolf — stares at me with those bright yellow eyes. He doesn't move, not a single muscle... all I can notice is his chest rising and falling with his calm breathing.And I don't sense any hostility in him, in his gaze that seems almost... understandable?I'm still trembling while I slowly approach, resting my breast
I open my eyes, my eyelids heavy... No, actually my whole body is heavy, but it seems to sink into the warm, cozy water. Gradually, my vision gets used to it and blurs, and the scenery that has become familiar over the last week unfolds before me. I blink a few times, the light bothering me, then my eyes go down to my body submerged in the tub... and Jasper's hands rubbing my arms.I move my gaze to him, slowly, almost sleepily... my thoughts are still searching for order, I'm still trying to understand what's going on and, above all, when I got back to the hotel. So I open my strangely parched lips and try to say something, but my throat is dry, and my voice won't come out.“It's okay, Reddy...” Jasper brings his wet hand up to my face, rubbing his thumb over my cheek, as if wiping away a stain. “It's all right now.”I clear my throat, trying to swallow down the knot that's formed preventing me from expressing these doubts, and then I struggle to say, in a thin, flawed voice, “What..
