Jasper Hartford I took Lizzy out of training early. After Frankie nearly clawed her throat out I didn’t want her anywhere near anyone else. I would lock her in my room and never let her out again if I could but that would just be hurting her to cover for my own inadequacies. I felt so useless watching Frankie shouting at my mate and getting ready to attack her. I knew that if I went after him when he was shouting at her the anger would have caused me to partially shift. Everyone in that room would have seen that I was an Omega and the news would have been around the whole pack in minutes. I let that hold me back for just a few seconds and she nearly died because of it. I should have just shifted straight away so I could protect her. Her safety was much more important than my secret. I was such a terrible mate, I hesitated just when she needed me most. I didn’t deserve her. “I’m so sorry,” I said. My voice didn’t even sound like mine. It was quiet and shaky, barely even a whisper. W
Elizabeth Summers When I woke up for college this morning Jasper was in bed beside me. At some point in the night, he must have pulled the covers over us but other than that nothing had happened. Surprisingly Jasper had acted like a perfect gentleman for the whole evening, we kissed for hours but he never tried to push me to do anything other than that. Jasper must be a heavy sleeper because I managed to remove his arms from around me and sneak out of bed without him waking up. I left him in my room while I went to get showered and changed. When I came back into my room a few minutes later he had already left and I didn’t see him again until halfway through breakfast. When he walked into the dining room my heart fluttered at the sight of him. His hair was still wet from the shower and his t-shirt was sticking to his body slightly. It was almost as though he was so excited about seeing me that he didn’t wait around to dry himself properly. That was a stupid thought though, why would
Jasper Hartford I gazed into the classroom through the small window in the door. The lesson should have finished a couple of minutes ago but Lizzy’s teacher was still droning on about something. Lizzy already had her bags packed and she looked as though she couldn’t wait to get out of there. Her legs were bouncing under the table and she was glancing around the room. She glanced towards the door as though she was contemplating sneaking out. When she saw me standing by the door she smiled. I don’t even think she knew she was smiling at me but it made me so happy to see that smile on her face. She seemed genuinely excited to see me. I was so busy staring into Lizzy’s eyes through the window that I didn’t even notice the teacher letting the class go. I did however, notice the sudden rush of students making their way to the door. I took a step back but kept my eyes on Lizzy as the rest of her classmates passed by. “Jasper,” One of Lizzy’s classmates said as she walked towards me. I co
Jasper Hartford I could feel my heart racing as the weight of Nico’s words hit me. I knew enough women to have a healthy level of fear when someone asks to speak to you alone. Given the events that happened just a few minutes ago, it was a safe bet to assume that he knew my secret and that was bad news. I turned around to face Lizzy. I pulled her into my arms and pressed my lips against hers. Savouring the way she tasted and the strength her presence gave me. I didn’t want to let her go, I knew everything would be different after this conversation and I wanted to savour this moment for as long as I could. I ran my fingers through her hair and pulled her close to me but as I did so I could feel her pulling away from me. I held onto her for a second or so longer then allowed her to break away from me. “I will see you after college baby,” I said as I let her go. I watched as she walked through the canteen and out of the door before I turned around to face Nico. He was watching me wit
Elizabeth Summers I felt awkward as I walked onto the sports field. I would have felt a lot better with Jasper by my side but I hadn’t seen him all afternoon. I didn’t realise I was getting so used to his constant presence until it wasn’t there any more. It felt like part of me was missing. Walking out here alone felt wrong, like I was invading his territory somehow. I glanced around, but I couldn’t see Jasper anywhere. The football players were standing around together at the edge of the field. All of them were there with the exception of Jasper. A few of the players’ mates were sitting nearby gossiping together on the bleachers. I froze. I couldn’t just walk over and sit with the other women. I didn’t even know them so it didn’t feel right sitting near them but on the other hand, I didn’t want to offend them by sitting on the other side of the bench. So instead I stayed frozen on the spot, unable to make myself move in any direction. “Liz,” Adam shouted. He had just noticed that
Elizabeth Summers Jasper was quiet on the ride home. In the past I might have been happy about this but now everything was different between us. I could tell there was something bothering him and I didn’t like it. I wanted him to go back to the jovial version of Jasper that I was starting to become accustomed to. Jasper parked his car in his usual spot in the garage before resting his head on the steering wheel in front of him. My heart rate quickened and I felt the urge to hold him and comfort him. I couldn’t be sure if it was the Omega in me or if it was the feelings I was developing for him that made me feel that way. “What’s wrong?” I asked, putting my hand on his back. “Maybe we could skip dinner with the family again tonight,” he replied, completely avoiding my question. “Jasper, I can tell something is bothering you. Please tell me what it is,” I leaned in closer, so my face was only a few inches from his. “I don’t want to spend another moment not holding you,” he replied.
Jasper Hartford I am a wimp, pure and simple. I can’t bring myself to even think about going against Lizzy’s wishes so marking her without consent is completely out of the question. That has made things very difficult for me with my family. Both my mom and my dad are now pushing me to mark her and they aren’t being anything even close to subtle about it. Dinner last night was apparently just the start of it. This morning over breakfast my mom talked about nothing other than how amazing being marked made sex while Lizzy looked as though she was going to throw up into her cereal. In the end, I only managed to get her to stop by getting my father involved. I promised I would talk to Lizzy about the subject again as long as they gave us a little bit of space. My mom didn’t like the idea of leaving something so important in my hands so my dad almost had to drag her out of the room. “What is going on with your parents?” Lizzy asked. “I might have mentioned that I was struggling to keep
Elizabeth Summers When I finished my last lesson of the day Jasper and Adam were waiting for me outside. Jasper took hold of my waist and kissed me passionately, pulling me close to him. The moment his lips touched mine it felt as though the world around me melted away. I put my arms around his waist and returned his kiss. An involuntary moan left my lips as he deepened our kiss. It didn’t seem to matter how many times I kissed him, I couldn’t seem to get enough of him. I pulled him closer, gripping tightly onto his T-shirt. “OK you two, that is quite enough of that,” Patti said as she walked up behind me. Jasper groaned in frustration but he stopped kissing me anyway. He kept his arms around me but spun me around so we were both facing Patti and Adam. From the way he was holding me, I think he was using my body to shield his arousal. Even thinking about that made me blush. “What was your plan for this little get-together anyway?” Patti asked, her tone was a little brighter than us
Elizabeth Summers’ POVWe had only been at our new pack for a few days but it was already clear that it was going to take a lot of work to get this town back to its former glory. The town had been abandoned over ten years ago and a lot of the buildings were well on their way to falling down. I didn’t care about that though, this place already felt more like home than my old pack ever had. There was nobody telling me that my omega parents made me inferior to other werewolves. Everyone here respected each other and worked together. I would take that over the alternative any day. There was no denying that it was hard work though. There was so much physical work required to get the buildings fixed and then there was everything else that needed to be done. Our pack members needed to find paid employment and I had to spend countless hours forming alliances with the surrounding packs. It was exhausting. “What are you doing in here, baby?” Jasper asked. “I’m making you dinner.” He had bee
Jasper HartfordI had been suspicious of the black vehicle following us ever since I first noticed it, shortly after leaving the forest. It looked like one of the cars my father would give to people who worked for him so I was sure it would be one of the pack’s warriors. That was until it continued to follow us for the next half an hour without trying to stop us or being joined by vehicles. If it was one of the pack’s warriors then they wouldn’t have let us get this far from the pack.“Someone is following us,” I said. Lizzy glanced in the mirror, I had no doubt that she recognised the vehicle just as I did because concern crept over her face.“What are we going to do? Can we lose them?”“I don’t think so,” I replied.I could try speeding but they would only increase their speed too. If they had been instructed to follow us then they wouldn’t let us out of their sight. Trying to outrun them was only going to endanger Lizzy’s life, I couldn’t do that when we were so close to obtaining o
Elizabeth SummersJasper had spent the last week reassuring me that there would be at least a few Omegas who wanted to join our new pack. I never really believed him. I thought all of the Omegas in our pack would be too afraid of getting caught to take a chance on us, but as it turns out he was right.There were hundreds of them crammed into the small clearing we were using as a meeting place. Many of them were people who our pack had classified as Omegas just because one of their family members was an Omega. In most other packs they would have remained unranked and not had to endure the treatment that packs like ours forced Omegas to endure.They were probably coming with us in the hopes of getting a better life for themselves and their children. It was a huge risk on their part but I could understand why they would take it. It was probably the only chance they had of gaining their freedom, I would have done the same thing in their position.“Shouldn’t Sasha have arrived by now?” Nico
Jasper Hartford“Did you pay attention to anything I said?” Michael complained.The answer was no, although I would never admit that to him. He was looking at me across the dining table as I was trying to eat breakfast. The smug look on his face was putting me off my food, and I could really do with having a good breakfast this morning.I was up till late last night finalising all the plans for our escape later this afternoon. I was exhausted, much too exhausted to deal with Michael’s bullshit. If he was going to insist on talking to me then I was going to need a lot more coffee.“Of course I was listening, you were talking about your pack,” I replied.It was a guess but it was a calculated one, he was always talking about his pack. Trying to convince Sasha that her life would be better if she came back to his pack with him. Not that he was planning to give her a choice. He had made it clear on many occasions that it didn’t really matter to him what she thought. He was going to take he
Elizabeth SummersIf I thought Michael was annoying before he realised his ex-mate was here then I was mistaken. I clearly had no concept of how annoying Michael was capable of being. He was still following us around everywhere but now he was bringing a reluctant Sasha along with him. He kept one hand on her at all times even though it was clear to everyone else that his touch repulsed her.“Michael, please let go of me, I have to help with breakfast.” Sasha objected as Michael tried to pull her with him into the dining room.“No, you aren’t an Omega any more. You are my Luna.” Michael pulled her over to the dining table and sat her down beside him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and placed a kiss on her cheek. Sasha responded by shuddering and trying to put some distance between the two of them, I wasn’t sure if it was from fear or disgust. Other Omegas were flooding into the room, bringing everything we would need for breakfast with them.“I’m not worthy of being your Luna.
Jasper HartfordMichael was quickly becoming the bane of my very existence. He was refusing to allow Lizzy and me any time alone together, yesterday morning he even managed to come crashing into our room while we were having sex. Lizzy was about five seconds away from reaching her climax when Michael broke the lock on our door and tumbled into our room. Lizzy screamed in frustration and threw the covers around us so he wouldn’t be able to see anything but she was incredibly pissed off with him. If she hadn’t been naked then I am sure she would have strangled him right there and then.Later that day, once I had managed to calm Lizzy down somewhat, I confronted him about it. He claimed that he had heard screaming and thought that I was hurting her. It was a clear lie, he was trying to do anything in his power to annoy us so that we would retaliate. I hated how close he was to getting what he wanted almost as much as I hated him.In contrast, my parents seemed to be completely enamoured w
Elizabeth SummersThere was something off about Michael even though I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. He seemed to be nice enough as he spoke to me in the back of Jasper’s car but there was something in his voice that sounded put on and fake. Even the questions he was asking about my life didn’t seem to come naturally to him. He was acting like someone who was learning how to have a conversation for the first time.“What food do you like to eat?” Michael asked as he placed his hand on top of mine.Jasper sighed. I could feel his anger through our bond even though he was trying his best to hide it from Michael and me as he drove us home. He wasn’t trying hard enough though, we both saw him roll his eyes in the rear-view mirror. Michael smirked before turning his attention back towards me.“I personally like ice cream and cake the most.” He continued. Jasper sniggered.“What are you, ten years old?” Jasper replied.“That was mean. There is no need to be mean to me, I just ha
Jasper HartfordLizzy had been quiet since the meeting with my father yesterday, I didn’t like it. I wanted her to tell me about how she was feeling, I didn’t like being shut out like this. It was my job to look after her, how was I supposed to do that if she wouldn’t even talk to me?One thing she had mentioned to me was that she was trying to think of a way of getting out of the arrangement my father had agreed to on her behalf. That was pretty much the only thing on my mind too. Even if I wasn’t a strong Alpha like my father, I still had to protect my mate from people who were trying to hurt and use her.“What is wrong with you? You have been distant all day.” Nico said as he sat down beside me. I had somehow made it to the last lesson of the day without really speaking to anyone other than Lizzy. Although I was disappointed I couldn’t make that last for just one more lesson. Also, why was my supposed future Beta the only one who couldn’t tell when I didn’t want to be disturbed?“It
Elizabeth SummersJasper’s lips moved slowly along my neck. We had only just made love a few minutes ago and yet his erection was already pressing against my pelvis. Over the last few days, since we had marked each other, we had been insatiable. The need to strengthen our bond was incredibly strong and we were both more than happy to give in to it.“We should probably start getting ready for college,” I suggested.It was the last thing I wanted to do but we had missed a couple of days already and we needed to at least try to get back to normal life. However, that would mean I would somehow have to keep my hands off him for a few hours.“No way. I need at least one more day before I am ready for that,” he replied, pouting at me.He leaned forward and pressed his lips firmly against mine while rolling me onto my back. As our kiss became more passionate I felt his weight on top of me. It was impossible to resist him now, I needed to feel him inside of me. I moaned and thrust my hips upwar
