Jasmine's pov
Who was this man?
Even in the dark, I could perfectly outline his features. Damn! the creator for making some people look like the Greek gods while others like the slaves.
Though I couldn't see all of him, from the little I could see, I would say he was the human symbol for gorgeous.
Dang!
He was tall, lean, broad-shouldered, and had muscular arms. Those were his features I took in at first then swallowed.
Next was his footsteps... They were calculated and purposeful. His hands were tucked into the pocket of his black velvet jeans trousers. His long-sleeved shirt is rolled up to his elbows, leaving his veins and muscles on display. The first four buttons were undone, too, which had also graced me with a majestic view of his chest.
Oh my God! He had hair, I almost squealed in delight but I willed myself to stop. Hair on the chest of men has always been a thing of appreciation for me. I was a sucker for it. I lack words to describe how magnificent the human in my front was. He could be a living work of art.
As I got closer to him, the moon opened her heart and framed us with her light. Time froze for a second. I just stood and stared at him open-mouthed like a bewitched cat. The moon provided a 3 o'clock shadow on his face. I looked up at him, and at that moment I got lost in his eyes. His eyes were like that of a dragon. A semblance of the tsunami, it was. It was the type of eyes that commanded you to stop, to look, and then stare. It was almost surreal.
Reddish green eyes that were covered with thick and full brows. His nose was long and referred. His hair was jet black and styled in such a way that a few strands of it fell on his face. My hands were itching to get it off his face; My wolf yearned to lick them off his face. His way was messy but tamed- into a side crew cut. His stubbles were in shade melanin. His jaw was chiseled and sharp.
His lips...oh my god. Just like I've ever wanted. Thin, small, and pouty. It looked soft too. I dared myself to look up at his face and I caught him already staring at me with mischievous eyes, I might add.
I suddenly jerked back. Not totally sure why, but I did take backward steps away from this mystic.
His eyes held too many uncertainties. He oozed mystery. His demeanor was strong, fierce, intimidating, and demanding. The aura surrounding him was powerful and strange and more ferocious than any ordinary wolf or human I know. I knew all four alpha of the wolves kingdom and he was none of them. He wasn't a Beta or gamma also. I'd know if he was one because most times at pack heads meetings I would go in attendance whenever my father was the host and never have I seen this man.
Who was he, really?
My voice seemed to get lost in my throat because although I wanted to speak, and I did will my mouth to say something, my voice didn't come out.
I was suddenly dumbfounded.
He cleared his throat and said "You look like you were going to say something. What stopped you?"
Well, this man just damned protocol.
I thought conversations started with the exchange of pleasantries? Something cliche. Maybe how are you? or hi pretty! And for those that would want to come out strong—what is a pretty ass lady like you doing outside in this chilliness, by this time of the day?
But here was this man, mystery man, jumping over protocols to ask a rather annoying question. Was he not thought to treat ladies right? Such poor manners for such a good look. I thought in my head but I was slightly intrigued by his personal.
Normally, men would empty their word bank while trying to impress me which made me always believe I was somewhat irresistible but now... I'm forced to have a rethink.
And I was sure as hell going to give him something to have a rethink about as well.
"I was going to say you are standing in my way. Move!" I blurted out and folded my arms on my chest. Getting ready for his reply.
He made a tsk sound and said "You're sure that's what you were going to say wild cat?"
It was my time to scoff. "Wild cat? That's the best thing you could come up with?"
"For you, yes!"
I rolled my eyes. "What are we, kids?"
"One of us is," he replied then smirked. He brought out his hand from his pocket and tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear then whispered, " if not wildcat, what would you rather I call you?" He licked his lips then continued. "By the way. I like my cats wild," he concluded with a mockery wink. The howls from the wolves have suddenly stopped. Except for the sound of crickets chirping the entire woods was now silent.
"I caught you checking me out, by the way," he stated again, a sly smirk playing on his gorgeous lips.
"I didn't." I tried to deny it.
"Now you're lying, wildcat."
"Whatever you say, man." I snickered.
"Oh, I'm more than just a man," he breathed.
"I see. Enlighten me." I challenged.
He took tentative steps towards me, tongue swirling in the nook of his cheek. "I like that you are confident and different," he whispered.
"I like that you recognized I am way out of your league." I snapped.
I barely let the word find resonance in the atmosphere before I moved past him and slightly bumped my shoulder into his. for good measures that were…
Kyle's pov My training was complete. My senses were trained and now fully enhanced. Now I could see, smell, hear, taste, and run as fast as any other immortal on planet Earth. My days with the seven witches finally got to an end, and I was more than happy to start trying new things! Eating new things! It was time to pay back the humans, for all the hurt and pain they caused me! It was time to avenge the werewolf for the death of my parents! It was time to start a new reign! A new kingdom! It was
Kyle's povI cleared my throat and said "You look like you were going to say something. What stopped you?"She looked at me like I grew a horn on my head. Maybe it was the mode of my approach or I seemed unbothered by her, but something vexed her."I was going to say you are standing in my way. Move!" She blurted with a frown.I made a tsk sound and said "You're sure that's what you were going to say wild cat?"It was her time to scoff at me. "Wild cat? That's the best thing you could come up with?" Her voice was sharp and she was damn sharp too. My first impression was that she was a ninny or an introvert of some sort
Kyle's povI got tired of hiding in the dark. I got tired of living alone as the only vampire in Wisconsin... Switching between my typical college house and the isolated cabin in the woods.I wanted to live my life as freely as the werewolves and humans. . I'm tired of running off like a lunatic whenever I'm faced with werewolves. I wanted to bring my powers to light and my empire too.It was time to build my empire!I knew a few things about not to exhaust a newly initiated vampire and about a little more on how to train them, but I've learned mightily about how to breed one. Diverse ways to breed them, I must add.Since I couldn't possibly g
Kyle's povImmediately after the last compelling word left my mouth, the body of the dead owls stood up and flew through the window while the light from the candles turned off.The cabin and the environment were completely silent—eerily silent. For a couple of minutes, everything was quiet until there was a thunderous sound from the outside and a flash of strong lightning appeared in the sky, cutting and illuminating through the darkness and silence.The sound of deep rumbling started to grow inside and I know after that the initiation was complete. After a few minutes more the candle lights came on again while the owls returned.I waited to watch in alert and zero seconds. The new vampires
Kyle's povThe night was calm and only chirps of birds could be heard and even though the heartbeat of the new vampire was hysterical, they looked physically at ease.Smiling crankily I replied "I know because I read minds. And you can too. I just allowed you to do so. To be like a god amongst gods. And because I know how badly you were treated by humans, ..." I stood up and placed my hand on the black round table."I graced you with a chance, the ultimate opportunity to get back at them... To take vengeance on the people that made your life a living hell...Our life is a living hell," I said sternly looking deeply into their eyes. Pressing with coercion, and removed my hand from the table and brought it up above the table, and said. "Join me, brothers, as I embark on this journey of vengeance. The journey o
Kyle's pov"Ariel?""Yes, your emperor. Everything is under control and arrangements. We await some supplies for Chicago to complete the construction of the new training ground. The weapon supplies, too, are coming In steadily. However, there was a leakage in of the shipments for my ends, but I've been assured all things would be in place soon. The weapon house will be completed once all the supplies come. In case of a tight Emergency, the place is capable of hosting guests." Ariel concluded."Fair enough," I answered, nodding my head.Ariel was in charge of gathering weapons and building a more advanced training ground. The one I used for training them was condemned already, and we would n
Kyle's povThe party had begun, and the place had filled up already. The music blasting off the speakers added to my surge of adrenaline popping through my veins while the disco ball light showed, making the room twirl in diverse colors.The first batch of drinks had been shared, but the hour had still not come for the raid to begin.The dance floor was filled with people —young boys and girls stood in the room scattered everywhere, dancing and smooching and grinding into each other, almost dry humping themselves.Sweat stench filled the air as sweaty bodies continued to glide into each other on the dance floor, couches and walls, and balcony.
Kyle's pov "Uhh... Uhh, " she stammered. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "Nothing... I," Smiling wickedly, I pulled her to myself. I had erased her memory of me teleporting. "You like this nice-looking guy, you said? Well, here, I am all yours." "You've just exploded my night because..." I don't let her finish her sentence and slam my mouth onto her. She almost fell back, but I swung my hand to the back of her waist and held her steady. I pulled her further to my body until there was barely any space between us. My mouth departs from her lips and goes southwards unti
Jasmine's PovNo matter how hard I tried, I couldn't control the anger that kept on rising in my heart as I was baffled at the evil that Trisha contained in her whole soul… that woman was wicked, heartless, and any other words I could think of to describe a person that had no remorse in his heart. How could someone be so filled with evil and still crave to do bad things to people? What was she going to gain? I kept on stringing my fingers, squeezing them tight, hoping to dissipate the anger that was swelling inside of me but it wasn't helping, nothing was changing. I had never felt this angry before and there seemed to be no option to calm down. I hated feeling this way but there was nothing I could do to get rid of these negative feelings growing inside me… I kind of felt good in a way; imagining gruesome things that I would like to do to Trisha and that miserable father and uncle of hers in my head because the hate I now felt for them was way more than what I felt when Trisha fucke
Trisha's POVKyle looked so torn. And no, I'm not talking about the cuts in his flesh or the splits in his cloth. I'm talking about his inner man. One look at him and you would easily conclude that he's accepted his fate—he had accepted his death, but yet, along with the look of a man who is torn, is the look of triumph. You'd look into his eyes and you'd see fulfillment and acceptance, not even an iota of regret or fear. Despite all the torture he had gone through, he was still head bent on keeping shut on all the questions he was asked. With every stroke of the whip he received, I felt the pain with him and for as many times he died, I died with him.This is shocking coming from a girl who has never felt pity, I know.As I stood and watched the suffering he had to endure because of me, I couldn't help but feel guilty. "Tighten his neck cuff," Bernard yelled to the guards before he landed a final blow on Kyle's stomach and trotted away along with my father. I stood and looked at Ky
Jasmine's Pov“And that time when Raul got stranded before we became familiar with this place and all the trees and stuff?” Athens laughed.“And he kept on screaming about how he had got lost and was going to die when she was only about a few meters from where we had left her too?” Drake interjected.“Could he not have just tried to sniff her way out? You know, using vampire senses?” I laughed.“I asked the same thing! He could have just done that, but he did not!” Athens said and reached his hand in my direction. I raised my hand to hit him with a high five and we started to laugh.“In the end, I eventually had to come over and hold his hand and lead him out here. It was quite hilarious for everyone.” Drake said, brushing some invisible dirt off his pants“I always try my best to help everyone, you know?” I was still laughing when I noticed Loretta wasn't doing much. “Loretta?” I called out to her. She raised her head as if she had just snapped back to reality before she blinked twi
Trisha's Pov"How could you father? You had an affair with one of the werewolves and you made me believe it's because of a certain wrong a certain vampire somewhere did to you. We were here trying to catch a vampire. Who did you no wrong?" I asked unbelievably. "Kyle did me no wrong but he was abusing the rights of humans—he was killing innocent people or ushering them into a life they know nothing about and that too against their will," my father said, walking closer to me but I took steps back."What was the actual reason? Or something you had to come up with to cover your wrongs?" I asked with teary eyes."Jasmine…" I cut him off."Answer me, Dad! I want to know. Have you been lying to me all this while?" "I wasn't lying to you. I really want to catch the bad guy. I really want to catch Kyle," "Why? Why do you want to catch him so badly? Other than the fact that he is a bad guy and you catch bad guys, I want to know the reason why you have so much loathing for him. And please te
Trisha's Pov.No no no no no no!My head ached badly and it felt like with every syllable of the word Jasmine spewed my heart was ripped out of its cage over and over again. I was caught up with rage as I heard Kyle reject me over again because of Jasmine and after all the gibberish she spewed, all I wanted to do was kill her. I didn't know what to do. I felt frustrated with every spark that traveled between them. It was palpable…so palpable it made the atmosphere of the chamber rise and burn my self-control.I looked haggard. My hair was everywhere and my mascara was running along with my nose but I didn't care. I couldn't….How could I care when I just found out one man I've ever loved is getting married to another and that another being Jasmine? I attacked my hair with my fingers and scratched my scalp until both my fingertips and scalp started to hurt. My bedroom door suddenly flew open but I didn't bother to check who it was, only one mother fucking scumbag would enter my room
Jasmine's pov."Rob?" I shouted, almost tripping on my foot. "Mummy?" I heard my tiny boy's voice. Before long, he appeared head first and ran into my waiting arms. "I've missed you, mommy,""I miss you too, my boy," I said as I peppered his face and head with kisses. "How are you doing? Are you ill? Is Daddy Dominic ill? What about Margaret?" I bombarded the small boy with questions."No mommy. We are all fine," he said happily, his tiny arms still wrapped around my neck. Just then Dominic trotted over causing me to release my boy and walk over to him, awkwardly. "Hey!" I greeted him."I think we have said enough of that earlier today. How have you been and how is your fiance?" he spoke so softly and I strained, looking for edges of contempt in his tone or facial expression and I couldn't find none and as far as my mind-reading abilities worked, I couldn't spot any too."We have both been good," I answered with a small smile."And the preparation? ""All good," I said in a conclusi
Jasmine's PovIf I had known going over to Dominic's place would end up so badly then I would have just sent him an invitation through his mail. Boy was angry for obvious reasons and I had mixed feelings—something I didn't want to think about. All I wanted to focus on right now was that I was getting married to Kyle in a few days time but I couldn't bring myself to tell him I was carrying his child. Everything was happening so fast and the pace was frightening.It was almost dawn yet everybody was asleep and I was doing some thinking—fixing some puzzles. My dream as a girl was to have my mother dress me up for my wedding and my father to walk me down the aisle but now—now there was nothing. I was still thinking when my hormones kicked in—I was suddenly so hungry that I could empty eight large pizzas. Three medium size doughnuts and three cups of coffee later, I was perched on the kitchen island with my palm supporting my head when I heard shuffling.Kyle came into the kitchen, nose f
Dominic's PovThe last person I had expected to see by my doorstep this morning was the person there. I looked at Jasmine wondering if she got the wrong address or something. The urge to ask her that question was heavy on the tip of my tongue. I had to swallow repeatedly to keep the words from coming out. "Can I come in?" She asked in a tiny voice. The way her pupils refused to meet mine, I knew something tangible had happened. From the time we were kids until now, Jasmine had this idea of not needing the eyes of the people she provoked."What did you do, Jasmine?" I asked her but she was still not looking at my face. "I really…""I can't tell you here," she began to query but I cut her off too."I want to know right here and right now," I said, my voice going up a beat."I'm getting married to Kyle," a minute or maybe a second passed. It could be days too that passed without any of us saying any other thing than that. I was trying to wrap my head around this new piece of information
Jasmine's PovI'd never been to a wedding before and I was pretty anxious about this one even if I wasn't the one getting married. Quickly, I discarded my robe and changed into my floor-length dress. The sequin fabric of my cocktail dress hugged my figure like a second skin, emphasizing my A-cup ample breast, dipped waist, curvy and perfectly outlined hips, and perky round ass. I smiled in satisfaction, adding a few delicate pieces of emerald stones which I got from my boutique to finish my look. My facial makeup was light but I had done a little more intense work on my eyes and lips. I had a smokey dark brown cut-crease eye look and a matching ombre color on my lips. The rest of my face was as natural as it could be. I let my hair flow down my back in soft waves after I used my finger to ruffle them a little, giving the apt messy but elegant chick look...“You look so beautiful,” Loretta clapped her hands in glee and undiluted admiration as soon as she saw me. Marvin was dressed and
