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.

    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 SummersJasper and I have gotten into a bit of a routine over the last couple of weeks. We would spend almost all of our time together. When we were at school we spent all our free periods and our lunches together. Even when we had to be apart, we were never very far away from each other. I watched his games, he watched over me in class and we hung around with each other’s friends. Then we spent our evenings together watching TV shows, kissing and exploring each other until we fell asleep in each other’s arms.He didn’t push me to take our relationship further or let him mark me. I could tell it was difficult for him and his wolf but he didn’t talk about it unless I specifically asked. He had even managed to persuade his parents not to mention him marking me when I was around. I was sure they still talked about it a lot behind my back or when they thought I wasn’t listening.They were upset over my reluctance and they only seemed to get more upset as time went on but I didn’t

    Jasper HartfordLizzy was setting out cups and drinks for the party with her friend at the other side of the dining table. I was supposed to be setting out the snacks but I wasn’t getting anything done. All I wanted to do was stare at my beautiful mate.She looked so perfect in her party dress but then again she was always the most beautiful person in the world as far as I was concerned. I loved everything about her but it also worried me sometimes. She was far too good for me and I was worried she would work it out and reject me.That wasn’t my only concern, I was also worried about my wolf. As much as I tried to keep control of him, he was still incredibly possessive. He doesn’t understand why she won’t accept his mark and it was making his temper very short. Every time anyone even so much as glanced in her direction I could feel him fighting me to take control. I was constantly worried that the next time someone looked at her would be the time that I would lose control and end up ki

    Elizabeth SummersAfter getting rejected by Adam in front of most of our classmates Patti went to hide in one of the spare bedrooms upstairs. When I got there she was sitting on the daybed with her head in her hands. As I closed the door behind me her head shot up and I could see the tears trailing down her face. I sat down beside her on the daybed and gave her a warm smile.“Is there something wrong with me?” She asked in between sobs.“Not at all. This is his problem, not yours,” I objected. Patti gave a fake laugh and rolled her eyes at me. I always thought I was good at comforting my friends but apparently, I was doing a terrible job of it today.“How can it not be about me? He wouldn’t even go on one date with me to see if I was the one. He must find me repulsive,” she said, triggering another bout of sobbing.I put my hand on Patti’s arm in an attempt to comfort her. I could tell by the look on her face how much pain she was in. She had started to have strong feelings for Adam de

    Jasper HartfordAdam picked up a bottle of beer from the table and handed it to me before taking one of himself. He took a long drink from the bottle. When he had finished he let out a frustrated sigh and leaned against the table.“Why do I feel so bad about this?” He asked.“I don’t know, you do seem to like her a lot. Are you sure she isn’t your mate, the signs might be a bit different with her being human.” I suggested. Adam shook his head.“I am sure. She smells nice but not enough for it to mean she is my mate and I have looked into her eyes and I didn’t feel that feeling of belonging that everyone talks about.” He didn’t sound completely sure. I didn’t know how that was possible. I had known Lizzy was my mate, I would have known even if all the other signs were missing but maybe that is because I already loved her. Maybe there was one thing that would settle this uncertainty once and for all.“What does your wolf say?” I asked.“He won’t talk to me about her or my mate in general

    Elizabeth SummersThis was a terrible idea on Patti’s part. I knew Jasper had a past and I had accepted that but I didn’t need the gory details. Seeing him take drink after drink while I sat here with my first drink still in hand was embarrassing to say the least. I watched as he drank shots for all these sexual acts that I didn’t know how to even perform. I felt a little jealous and hopelessly naive. Why would he even want someone like me?The only other person who wasn’t drinking was Adam and he looked even more sheepish than I did. I didn’t know what was going on with him at all. He was showing signs of being Patti’s mate even though he claimed they weren’t and now he couldn’t seem to take his eyes off her for one moment.As we waited for Oliver to make his statement Adam had his hand right beside Patti’s. He reached out with his fingers until they touched Patti’s. The sudden contact made her jump and withdraw her hand. Adam let out a soft whimper just as Oliver spoke again.“I have

    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
