ANGEL

I blinked in surprise when Dora confessed to me about her inability to read. Of course, I should have known that, especially the way her family kept her a slave.

“I’m so sorry.” I face palmed myself, coming to sit beside her on the bed. “I should have known.”

Dora’s face grew a shade redder as she looked away and I took her hand in mine to assure her that she had nothing to be ashamed of. Afterward, I spent about half hour, explaining the different toys and how she could use them.

The more I explained, the pinker her neck and ears became and I had to stilfe my smile at her shyness. After I was through, I asked she had any questions and she went silent for a moment.

“Will I still need to use these if he comes back?”

“It’s totally up to you especially if you’re not ready to go that mile with him.”

Dora nodded slowly, her gaze drifting away as she fingered her pendant, then a question came to mind.

“Were you wearing your pendant when Jasper tried to mark you?”

    DORA I paid attention to everything Angel said, and after she left, I checked the alarm clock and counted down the time at which Angel told me the pills she gave me would expire. Five minutes to the time, and I found myself extremely nervous. What if I make a mistake? What if, despite the lessons, I still don't know how to use the tools? A terrible image of me throwing the tools away in frustration passed through my mind, and I shivered. Angel had assured me that I had nothing to worry about, and the tools were afoolproof's way to get quick relief. I wondered if Jasper would arrive before I dive into this unknown world. What if he came while I was doing it? Gods! That would be extremely embarrassing. True to Angel's words, the moment five minutes counted down, my body surged with heat as if a fire had been lit from the pits of my stomach. I removed my top, suddenly drenched with sweat, and then I proceeded to remove my shorts as well. My face burned with embarrassment,

    JASPER As soon as I was driven into my pack, anxiety hit me. First, I was worried about how things was left off with Dora. Is she still mad at me? Will she let me try and help with her heat?Considering what happened last time, I doubt she’d let me touch her again and I couldn’t even blame her. I just wish she’d forgive me. Secondly, I thought about her grandmother, and the more I thought about her, the angrier I got. Dora was supposed to hear that she has a relative somewhere that cares for her. She would have been ecstatic about the news and I would have felt somewhat like a hero. Now, she’s gone, killed by an unknown assasin just like her mother. Who knows if they’d come for Dora too? Especially because of this book?I sighed, rubbing my face. I was exhausted and craving for rest but most especially, I was craving for her. As soon as my car arrived and I stepped into the house, my wolf became on alert. I sniffed the air, basking in the sugary scent of my mate’s heat. She sme

    JASPERAs soon as I told Dora of her deceased grandmother, her entire demeanor changed. The muscles in her forehead gree prominent as the weight of my information settled on her. “So, you mean I had family out there and I didn’t know?”I nodded. “Sadly, yes.”Dora stared into space, her face the mask of confusion. She scoffed and then shook her head. “Penny for your thoughts.”She looked my way, her eyes not really seeing me. Then she blinked a few times. “Can I please have a moment alone?” I wish she didn’t say that. I wished she’d let me be here for her but I understood people grieve differently and if leaving will be my way to be there for her, then so be it.“Okay.” I said and got off the bed. Before leaving, I kissed her head and caressed her hair. “I’ll be at the office but will be back soon, okay?” Dora nodded absentmindedly and I began to worry for her. On my way to the office, II mindlinked Chang and Raven to meet me there. Despite just being away for a few days, I rea

    DORA When Jasper told me the news I was beyond shocked. The fact that I had family somewhere and my father didn't send me there was appalling. If I knew I had family, I'd have left a long time ago. I wouldn't have put up with so much that I did. Now, hearing that she's deceased just when we could have met, was beyond heartbreaking. I searched for the tears to cry but I found none. I was just blank headed, staring into space. Wondering what could have been. Had Cersei been alive, I'd most certainly visit her often to learn more about my heritage and my mother. I sighed, knowing I'd never have that now. Seeing that the ice cream Jasper got for me had begun to melt, I got out of bed first and took it to the fridge. The flowers i put in a new case and water and then after contemplating whether I should eat or not, I took the chocolate back with me upstairs. Upon entering the bedroom, I decided to go out to the balcony to try the chocolates and get some breeze. Maybe the fresh

    DORA I sprinted out of the bedroom, my heart hammering wildly in my chest. "Help!" I screamed, my voice echoing through the hallways. My bare feet slapped against the floor as I ran, desperate to put as much distance between me and the assassin as possible. Behind me, heavy footsteps pounded closer. He was fast—too fast. Panic surged through me, tightening my throat. My breath came in ragged gasps as I screamed again, hoping someone, anyone, would hear me. Before I could make it to the staircase, a rough hand grabbed the back of my shirt and yanked me backward. I hit the floor hard, the impact sending a jolt of pain through my body. The assassin loomed over me, his dark eyes cold and focused. I scrambled backward on my hands and feet, but he closed the distance in an instant, pinning me down. The sharp glint of the knife in his hand sent fresh waves of terror through me. “Get off me!” I screamed, thrashing wildly, kicking and clawing at him. My nails scratched at his arm, but he

    DORAMy heart pounded painfully as I opened the door of the basement.I raised my nose in the air to detect any familiar scent. When I heard none, I limped as fast as I could to the kitchen, sending a silent prayer to the Goddess that I’d find a decent leftover.If I don’t, I’d have to dig through the trashcan again. Honestly, I’d eat anything at this point - anything to give my wolf the strength she needs to stay alive. I have been starving for days in a dungeon cell my family threw me in and had just awoken from a severe beating that rendered me unconscious. At this point, If I don’t eat something, I will die.And I don’t want to die. The moment I opened the fridge and found a turkey sandwich sitting there, I almost cried with relief. It’s been months since I’d eaten something this decent. Springing into action, I grabbed the meal and a bottle of water.After a quick gulp, I unwrapped the sandwich, ready to take a bite. Just then I heard the slam of a door upstairs and foots

    DORA The silence was palpable. I could hear hearts beat faster, see jaws tighten and backs stiffen.A random omega walked into the room, glanced at us all with big fearful eyes before rushing out.And yet no one else noticed her. My father looked between the man and my brother, who was still holding the belt over me.“Alpha Reed,” he swallowed.And all the hairs behind my neck stood up. Alpha Reed?Wasn’t he the most powerful Alpha ruling over the biggest, wealthiest pack in the country? I remembered stories about him and how he had saved people from tyrant Alphas who invaded packs and took them as slaves.Alpha Reed had faced them all at a young age.And he had been ruthless and bloodthirsty about it to the point that he earned the nickname, “The BloodHound.” The people he saved came together to form the Liberty Pack.Ever since, Alpha Reed had maintained his reputation as the most feared Alpha. A deadly shiver ran through me. “I assure you I treat my pack with l

    DORA ‘Remember what I said you piece of shit!’ My father mindlinked me.My heart raced. “It’s my fault. I-I made mistakes, and that’s why I am being punished.” I said with trembling lips. Alpha Reed cocked his head to his side, making a strand of his midnight hair fall into his eyes.“From the way you’re breathing, you sound like you have several broken ribs.You’ve got a broken nose and bruises all over your body. You don’t look like you’ve been punished, Dora. You look like you’ve been tortured…for a very long time. What baffles me is why your father and brother would do this to you.”His words made fresh tears rush to my eyes.I wanted to break down and sob, but I held it all in.“I wouldn’t blame them." I choked out, fighting the stream of tears falling down my face. “I deserve the punishment.” “Why?” I felt a different kind of pain at that question.It reminded me of a terrible memory I always tried to keep buried. I took a deep breath, “Because I am responsible for t

    DORA A day had passed since the Scott incident and no one else picked up on any scent that could be foreign or anyone that could be harmful. I sighed, wondering if it was all up in my head. Raven had brought in more guards to stand guard throughout the hospital and now that she was about to dismiss them, I felt bad. I turned to Angel who had been by my side. “Is there food in the kitchen?” “Enough to feed an army, why? Are you hungry?” I shook my head. “I want to make some sandwiches for the patrolmen. I heard Raven telling them, they can't go home and must go to their patrol posts. They will need something to eat.” “You don't need to worry yourself. I can have someone make that or order pizza.” “I know but I insist. Just before I go home.” “Are you sure you are strong enough for that?” I nodded enthusiastically. Angel stared at me before smiling. “Alright then. If you insist.” Afterwards, she led me to the kitchen area which was big and well equipped. Immediately, I g

    JASPER I blinked in surprise, coming to the realization that Cersei could be Dora’s grandmother. “Tell me about this granddaughter of yours?” I stated, “Any pictures?” My intention was to connect Dora to her roots and give her a long-lost relative she could probably share some good memories with. Maybe that would get her to forgive me. The elderly woman shook her head, her expression, one of sadness. “I never met her. I only knew of her name when her mother visited briefly.” Then she paused and looked at me. “For the sake of the help you’ve rendered my community in the past, I’ll tell you this. This blessed girl was my daughter but before I could understand who she was or what she could do, she was quickly married off to the Alpha of the Moonstone pack.” Like a lightbulb switch coming on, I was finally sure that Cersei was Dora’s granddaughter. “What kind of powers did your daughter have?” “I can’t tell you much about it because I barely had enough time to figure her out when

    JASPER AN HOUR AGO “Are you sure this is the spot?” I asked, as I and six of my best men rallied around a map spread out on the car. The one with the geography skills among us nodded his head, very sure about the spot marked X. I raised my head and looked at the thick forest beyond. The pack I need to get to live in there and this probably be one of the most dangerous ventures we would ever make. I turned to my men. “If you want to back out and wait here for me, I won't hold it against you. You've got wives and kids and I am not sure how dangerous this place might be.” My men glanced at each other with confidence before they all agreed to go with me and I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Within minutes, we were venturing into the forest, high on alert while trying to find the pack we came for. After the war that occurred years ago, people of the Nightreach pack split in two. The staunch followers of the evil Alpha Martin Dumas chose to perish with him or become rogues while the
