JasperGwen looked incredibly beautiful tonight. I had felt the sudden rush of wanting to take her in the living room after I had my drink. My self-control was on a zero level. I had no idea why but I wanted her close to me. I couldn't keep my hands to myself. Being inside her and kissing her soft skin was what I desired at the moment. Gwen left me to go get some fresh air. She turned down my advances. I felt funny and giddy so I couldn't go after her. When Orion got back from his room we followed him out to meet the others outside so the real party could begin. But a hand pulled me back. In addition to the giddiness, my vision began to blur. I wondered why I was feeling funny. I turn around and I find Gwen smiling at me. She held my hand and pulled me towards the kitchen. She laughed as she pulled out a chair pushing me to sit on it. She then leaned in to kiss me. Her lips felt different from how I usually felt it. And her scent was off. I couldn't confront her though about the co
JasperAt the Police Station (One Hour Later)"That's not true. I didn't lay a hand on her. I mean I didn't hurt her." I continued to plead not guilty to the accusations. The police gave in to Nancy's lies. They said she had scratches on her from my assault. She was taken to the hospital to be checked to further prove that she was telling the truth. Before we were taken to the police station, Nancy leaned her head to the back door of the police car to tell me she wasn't done with me yet. "I'm just getting started, Jasper. You'll beg for mercy and no one will help you. Not even your parents! By the way, you did amazingly well in the kitchen even in your vulnerable state. You are exactly as good as they say," she had said. What had stopped me from snapping her little neck was my cuffed hands. I felt like a fool. I've never been so insulted and crushed by a single human in one night. She had me in the mud in seconds. Gia, the police officer questioning me wasn't having it at all. She
GwenI waited for Jasper to show up this morning at our driveway. But he didn't. Even though I caught him fucking Nancy Labyrinth yesterday, presently I wasn't as mad, so I was expecting to see him here this morning. I would be a fool to care if Jasper didn't love me back or if he fucked other girls while he was with me. He never told me anytime that he liked me. So why was I mad? It's his life. All that mattered was that my love for him was true and I can't change who he is. It hurts to be used but I can't forget easily that I also had good moments with him. I had to console myself with the idea that I would rather hold onto the remaining months I and Jasper had left and hold him dear to my heart than fantasize and worry over something that would never happen, like ending up together. I was walking through Jasper's class when I discovered he wasn't there. Perhaps, he didn't make it to school today. I thought to myself. Reginald was in his seat chatting with a few of his classmat
Jasper If anyone had told me that Gwen would risk everything to run down here. I'll call them a liar. But there she was panting like she was chased by a monster.I was extremely pleased to see her. But I didn't want her to see me like this. If I had stuck to her throughout the party, all this wouldn't have happened. But my desire to be in her arms and make love to her had made her flee from me, giving Nancy the chance to strike and swallow me up. When Gwen hugged me, I felt myself surrender in her arms, taking in that sweet scent of hers. It was all I needed to remain calm on the inside. As much as I missed her and wanted to be caressed and consoled with her little soft hands, I didn't want her dragging herself down with me. I planned to make her reject me openly when a sentence was finally passed, putting an end to our relationship. She was stubborn about leaving and I had stupidly gotten emotional to the point that I had almost disclosed that she was not my mate. It was great t
GwenI continued to peek through the transparent door to see if Jasper would be brought out again. And I couldn't find the policewoman from earlier either. I hadn't had anything to eat. I had no appetite. By my time, it says 7:00 pm. I don't mind and I don't care. I was going to stay here no matter how long it took. I was here when Seraphina Darkwater walked into the station for questioning. She didn't see me. I hoped that whatever she told them was going to help Jasper out of this mess. "What're you doing here, are you crazy?" Leo snarled from a distance. Alongside him was his mother and of course my parents. They had called me severally but I intentionally refused to pick up the phone. If I had told them where I was, they would come to stop me just like they are about to do now. "What is it to you if I'm crazy or not?" I snapped at Leo. "We've been looking all over the place for you!" Leo stood in front of me, his nose flared. "My mother was worried. She thought you might have
Gwen The police were quick to respond, and the team had gathered around. It was a three-man team. One of them raised a concern that they had no search warrant. Searching Alpha Jameson Ashford's home without one was going to be tough and it was too late to get one. Alpha Roderick snapped and his voice rumbled. "This is about my son," he blurted. "To hell with a search warrant. Jameson can't stop us from searching his niece while I'm with you." "Let's go then," Officer Gia ordered her men. Jasper was taken back to the cell. Gia told us to return home, as they were going to make sure everything went well and they didn't want distractions when they did their job. Leo and his mother went back home, but my parents remained behind because I refused to leave. I had insisted I was going to tag along with Jasper's parents. So they had no option but to follow us to Jameson Ashford's colony, the Alpha of the Bayview Silver pack. Officer Gia knocked at the door. Orion answered. His eyes narro
GwenNancy was forced to go in the police vehicle and not in Orion's father's car. Mrs Carter was contacted about the police visit through the phone so she'd be aware that they were coming. The security personnel at school were quick to assist the police and lead them in the right way. Gia turned to Nancy. "Where's your locker?"She reluctantly points at locker number 59. "What's the combination of the lock? Come over here and unlock it. Stop acting sluggish." Gia gestured towards the locker. Nancy unlocked it after what seemed like forever. "Search it," Gia ordered her team. A bunch of notebooks were brought out. Nancy had pictures of herself at a beach, on a mountain, and at a concert. She stuck them all over her locker. Another book that looks like a notebook but appears thicker was hidden beneath a bunch of plastic tulips. She had used the plastic flowers to cover it. They pulled it out too. "Give me that! It's my diary." She dived to collect it from the policeman holding i
Jasper "I'm glad you're okay, son," my mother said, sitting next to me. She had grabbed me some food to eat. I had no appetite but I went ahead to have a few spoons. My father still hadn't said a word. I could see that he was delighted that I was out. In the past, I received a lot of scolding from him whenever he brought me back from the police station. Perhaps because I'm innocent now, he doesn't need to say anything. I let him be. My mother has always been the emotional one and can't hide how she truly feels about a situation. Being an Alpha has toughened my father's skin. He rarely shows his emotion, only on rare occasions. My mother was talkative today. This showed how much she must have missed me and she must have been so shaken up to think she would lose her only child to jail. She proceeded to talk about how Gwen helped in my release. "She's a brilliant girl," she said "You're lucky to have her as your mate."I smiled. Throughout the night till this moment, Gwen had occupi
Jasper One month had passed since the miraculous events at the Coit Tower. The werewolf community had been shaken by the revelation of our fated bond and whispers of our extraordinary connection echoed throughout the packs.Gwen and I didn't need the Lunar Convergence anymore. The moonstone gave us what we wished; each other. "Hi, beautiful." I shut the door behind me. Gwen raised her head. She sat on her chair writing. "How's my mate doing?" I asked, staring into her gorgeous eyes. "My hands hurt from all the writing. I need to submit this report tomorrow." "Is it a lot?" I asked, trying to take a peek. "Out of ten, I've only done four." "Oops!" I exclaimed. She does have a lot to cover. Gwen tugged my arm. "Did you hear what happened to Reginald?" I was surprised to hear the question, wondering what must have happened. So I asked. "What happened?" "Leo called me fifteen minutes ago. He said a friend at Reginald's colony told him that Reginald was taken to the punishment camp
Gwen Life isn't fair. It has never been fair to me since the day I was born. It's never given me what I wanted. The few things it gave me, it gave me late; when others have long had theirs. I could still hear Jaspers scream in my head. Seeing him struggle to breathe, with blood coming out of his mouth and nose was terrifying. I could do nothing when he ingested the thornleaf. I watched in horror as he breathed his last. My cry echoed through the Sanctum. I wanted to take his place or better still die with him. But one of us needs to take the moonstone back home. The pack community was waiting for us to return on the third day.It was evening by the time we arrived at the Coit Tower. A large crowd had gathered, waiting for us. It seemed everyone wanted to see what would happen to those two who foolishly went against the mating laws. Probably they all wanted to find out if we would return with the moonstone or not.Jasper's body was dropped to the ground. The muttering from the crowd
Jasper "You're not a bad person. You've grown to become my favorite person." I confessed to Gwen. "I don't care about Selena. If anything, I'm glad you never told me about it because I would never have gotten to know you, and that would be a great loss. I was mean to you. I'm so sorry that my pride came before everything else."I let out a deep breath. "But why would you have a crush on someone as bad and irresponsible as I am?"Gwen lowered her head. " Simple. The heart wants what it wants. Trust me I've tried to hate you but I couldn't. I accepted that and from crushing on you, I moved to falling in love with you during the time I spent with you. I know you don't love me but what matters is that I do."I reached out to hold her hands and cup her cheek. "I was stupid not to notice. I feel jealous when guys talk to you. I wanted you just for myself," I whispered passionately. "At first, I thought I wanted you just for four months, but I realized I wanted you forever. My wolf is only p
Jasper I wanted to say many things to Gwen but I didn't know where to begin from. If I knew things were going to turn out this bad, I wouldn't have brought about this idea. I'm still shocked that a life will be given for the moonstone. It sounds like a joke. It's hard to take in. I leaned my back to the wall thinking of all my actions that led me to this point and I knew it was my pride. I wasn't patient enough to wait for the next Lunar Convergence. I wanted to control everything in my life. I'm used to winning all the time and not having things go my way makes me want to force it to. I watch Gwen as she quietly stays in her corner. She can't avoid me forever. At one point before midnight, one of us has to step forward. The most horrible way one of us would die is by not telling the other goodbye. I don't want to lie to myself. I regret starting this but I do not regret meeting her and knowing her better. She taught me someone can be good to you and accept nothing in return. I
Gwen I must say, I never expected this place to look like this. The people here live like one big family. There aren't more than two hundred people here, men, women, and kids., I am not so sure though.It's amazing how they could live in the middle of this forest away from the outside world. How do they live? No phones, no cars, no TV, no schools, no malls—you name it. They don't even wear clothes like ours; they have long fabrics with strings tied around their waist. Long, beautiful hair is one of the features they all have. Just like my mother showed me in the picture, my father also had long hair. It must be a law here to grow out the hair.My supposed aunt, Sonya Silverwood, is the Alpha of the Silverwood Grove; a position that belonged to my father, and in his absence it could only go to the next in line—Her. It's the first time I've seen a female Alpha. "Why did you allow me in? You were supposed to send me away," I said. Sonya grinned. "Your mother told you that, right?""
Jasper On foot, going to the Silverwood Grove takes a day and a half at most. Three wolf warriors, all guys, were asked to go with us. But they're not to interfere in our quest in any way. They would be lurking around somewhere observing all we did. This was to ensure they report back to the pack community everything that happens to ensure transparency. We walked in silence. Gwen didn't want to speak to me. I noticed she didn't want to get close to me either. As we walked, she stayed several inches away from me. She must be terrified. I could see it in her eyes back at the punishment camp. There's so much I do not know about Gwen. I thought I did. Zara revealed she's Silverwood. If we weren't seized and in such a predicament but happened to just be friends, that would've been great news. But it wasn't such great news with the quest at hand. Her father is a great figure. It's common knowledge that anyone who bears the last name Silverwood is a guardian of the grove and also a keepe
Gwen He wants to take the fall.To see him go down alone without accepting that I was also in the wrong would mean I was wicked and selfish. Yeah, I'm angry at him. I screamed cruel words at him. I told him I hated him. But could I ever? I don't think my heart could hate Jasper so easily. I've tried to in the past when he used to be my bully. People may say he manipulated me, he outsmarted me, or whatever they want. But I allowed him to. I encouraged it because I love him. My crush on him turned into stronger feelings, which later turned into love. Just as I gradually fell in love with him, perhaps I'll gradually fall out of love with him. My moments with Jasper were mostly adventurous. Everything wasn't entirely bad. I'm not ungrateful. Staying close to the guy I have wet dreams about was one of my desires; I wanted to be so close to him, to know what he smelled like and felt like. And I did get close and got to do a lot of things with him. My parents would never understand that
Jasper "Alpha Roderick, Your son, Jasper has to be taken in." Sid marched through the front door with a couple of his men. "A report came to us with enough evidence that he and Gwen committed a crime, a violation of social norms within our community. They are said to be fake mates."Father and Mother exchanged glances and turned to look at me, their eyes narrowed in disbelief. My father asked, "Jasper what's going on here? Do you know anything about what they are talking about?" "It's true... I forged a fake mate bond with Gwen.." Mother gasped. "What have you done?""I'm sorry, "I whispered. "I…I"Before I could say another word, my father slapped me across my face. "Take him away," he ordered, disappointment written all over his face. Mother nearly collapsed, but father was quick to hold her."Sid and his men dragged me away and put me into the back of a black van. It was so dark when the door to the van closed. I could feel the presence of other people in here from the body he
Gwen I had a bath and came down for dinner. Zara was home with us. Mother invited her for dinner. I've been down because of the fight I had with Jasper and didn't have an appetite for food. I had to come down to enjoy the moment with my family. Jasper isn't worth locking myself in my room and crying a long time for. At school today I stayed in the classroom throughout because I didn't want to see him. I don't think I can heal from this fast. How can someone I love manipulate me like this? Reginald is a devil but I don't care because he's not the one I love and care about. Jasper was the one who had my heart but he showed me how foolish I am. "Sweetheart, why are you playing with your food?" Zara asked. "Are you okay?"I forced a smile. "I'm fine.""No, she's not. Don't believe her," Mother said. "She's been like this since she fought with Jasper. We don't know what their fight is about.""Huh, mates' fight." Zara smiled cutely and winked. "It happens. You'll feel awful about you
