There was still some time before class was due to start so I cut across campus towards the art studios. It was my and my friend’s favourite place to hang out. I wasn’t friends with anyone my age from the pack. Everyone in the pack knew that the future Alpha hated me and as none of them wanted to get on his bad side they stayed away from me. None of them bullied me like Jasper and Nico, they just pretended that I didn’t exist.
All of my friends were humans from the smaller human town which was about ten kilometres away from our pack’s border. That was fine by me, I love my friends. We have even made plans to move in together once we have completed this academic year. Providing that Jasper didn’t prevent me from leaving after he takes over as Alpha, I will be out of the pack in less than a year. Hopefully permanently.
I breathed a sigh of relief as I entered the art studio. My friends were already there. Mia was painting a picture on an easel in the centre of the room while Oliver and Patti were chatting about some TV show they watched last night while standing near the window.
“Elizabeth, what’s wrong?” Patti asked as I entered the room.
“The same thing that is always wrong,” I replied, trying not to sound too bitter.
“Jasper?” Oliver asked, I could see the concern in his eyes.
“Yes, He wanted to have a word with me about the way I was dressed.”
I was purposely vague. Oliver already hated Jasper, because of the way that he treated me but things had gotten worse in the last couple of months. That was around the same time as Oliver had decided that he wanted us to be more than just friends.
He had been practically begging me to go on a date with him for the last few months. I have been doing my best to let him down gently because I didn’t want to lose him as a friend. It was such a shame that the only man who had ever taken an interest in me in that way was one of the very few friends I had.
“What did he say?” Patti asked.
“Let me guess, was it something mean?” Mia said, without looking up from her painting.
“That much is pretty obvious,” Patti rolled her eyes.
“He implied that I was dressed too provocatively.”
“He needs to back off.” There was an aggressive edge to Oliver’s voice and he clenched his hands into fists at his side as he spoke.
“What are you going to do about it?” Mia didn’t even bother trying to hide her amusement. They might not know what Jasper was but his size and his strength were clear to see. Most of the humans felt uncomfortable around werewolves generally but when it came to Jasper most of them were afraid to get close to him. It is why I had such trouble making friends, even among humans.
“I am going to tell him to leave Liz alone,” Oliver asserted.
This was bad. Jasper had never hurt anyone, outside of training anyway, but that was only because nobody had been stupid enough to challenge him. As the future Alpha, he had to answer any challenge and he couldn’t stop fighting until they conceded to him. Even if the challenge was from a human who didn’t realise the danger he was getting into.
“That is not a good idea.”
“Why would you say that?”
“I know him better than you do. He won’t listen to you, it will probably just make him treat me worse.” I replied, my voice trembling slightly as I spoke.
A smile spread over Oliver’s face. I had known him long enough to know that this was the look he got when he came up with some kind of plan, and I had a feeling that I wasn’t going to like this particular plan.
“I promise that I won’t say anything if you agree to go to the game with me on Friday.”
Oh, I see what he was planning.
Jasper was the captain of the football team. Oliver wanted me to go to the game with him so Jasper would see us together. I had never told Oliver that Jasper was the reason behind my reluctance to date him, he had come to that conclusion on his own and he was wrong. Why would Jasper even care if I was dating someone?
“Oh OK, we can all go together,” I suggested. Nobody said anything but I could feel the atmosphere in the room change. Mia diverted her full attention back to her painting and Patti started to look out of the window. Traitors!
“I think everyone else is busy so it is just going to be you and me,” Oliver observed.
“That is a shame.”
“I will take that as a yes, we can arrange the details later.” He didn’t try to hide his excitement from me. He had a huge grin on his face, it had been a long time since I had seen him this happy. I guess that was because I had just agreed to give him the very thing he had spent the last few months coveting.
We spoke for a while longer before heading off to our classes. Oliver wanted to walk me to class but I just laughed it off and left with Patti instead. On my way out I glanced back at Oliver, he was still smiling but his smile wasn’t as bright as before.
“Why are you so resistant to going on a date with Oliver?” Patti asked once we were far enough away that Oliver wouldn’t be able to hear us.
The only problem was, we were walking down a busy corridor surrounded by other students and many of them were werewolves. I hoped that none of them would report this conversation back to Jasper. I didn’t think he would care who I dated but that didn’t mean that I wanted him to know any more than he had to about my life.
“I don’t have many friends, I don’t fancy losing one of them.” I replied, keeping my voice low.
“Do you think that would happen if you dated Oliver?”
“How many times have you known people stay friends after breaking up?”
“What about Samantha and Chris?”
“I think that proves my point for me.”
Samantha and Chris had been so close all the way through high school. That was until they dated for a couple of months at the end of last year. They broke up after Chris cheated on her with one of her friends. They stayed friends afterwards but their relationship has never been the same. They went from being inseparable to not being able to be in the same room for more than a few minutes without arguing. It was hardly the ringing endorsement for the virtues of dating your friends.
“So what are you going to do?” Patti asked.
“I am going to keep denying his advances until he moves on to someone else.”
I was sure it wouldn’t be too long, I wasn’t all that special. Besides, I had seen how quickly some of the men in my pack changed their girlfriends, I had no reason to think he would be any different. In a few weeks, he would be dating someone else and things could go back to normal.

Jasper Hartford She walked into the room and my pulse quickened. She was talking to her friend, laughing at some joke. I would give anything for her to laugh at my jokes like that, literally anything. She took her seat in front of me without even looking in my direction. She flicked her long auburn hair over her shoulder, wafting her scent in my direction. I could smell the coconut shampoo she always uses and the slightest hint of sweat on her skin. Even the scent of her was enough to send me wild with desire, it made me want to run my tongue along her skin. I wanted to taste every inch of her until she begged for my cock, and then I wanted to make love to her until she fell apart in my arms. But she was the only person I couldn’t have, my parents saw to that when they let her stay with us. I have loved Lizzy for the last three years. I have tried everything I can think of to get her out of my mind but nothing seems to work. At first, I tried to ignore my feelings for her in the ho

Elizabeth Summers Jasper had his hand around Patti’s throat, I could see the fear in her eyes as she struggled to catch her breath. She was scratching at his hands trying to get her freedom but it was a futile attempt. He was a werewolf, he was much stronger than her. He probably couldn’t even feel her dull human nails as they scratched at his skin. “She will do exactly what I tell her to do, whether she likes it or not.” His voice was harsh, I could feel the venom and hate behind his words. His hatred for me was so clear but I still don’t understand where this hatred was coming from or why he was taking his hatred of me out on my friend. I wanted to help my friend, he was going to kill her if I didn’t stop him, but I couldn’t move. Even though he didn’t have his wolf yet, his Alpha aura was enough to keep me frozen in place. He was going to kill my friend while I was standing within arms reach of her and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I could feel myself whimpering and cr

Jasper Hartford I had been looking for Lizzy all afternoon. She had skipped classes, but she never normally skipped classes so I was naturally worried about her. I knew I had upset her and her friend and I wanted to apologise to her even though, I wasn’t sure exactly how to go about it. I couldn’t find any trace of her scent anywhere on campus so I had come home hoping she would be there. When I couldn’t find any trace of her at home, I started to panic. She was never late home, if anything bad had happened to her it would be all my fault. I needed to get some air and clear my head so I was planning to go on a walk but once I stepped outside I could hear a car approaching. Lizzy couldn’t drive but I hoped that one of her friends had brought her home. I watched the car pull into our driveway and that’s when I saw him. She was in a car alone with that male human she hung around with. I had seen the way he looked at her, I would have to be blind not to. He was constantly watching her

Jasper Hartford “Where is Lizzy?” I asked as I walked into the dining room for dinner the following evening. I hadn’t seen Lizzy since her accident and I had done nothing but worry about her for the last 24 hours. My mom had kept her out of school to make sure that she was fully recovered but part of me wondered if that was just a ploy to keep her away from me. I felt like I was dying without her. She was all I could think about and it felt as though there was a knife in my heart not knowing where she was or how she was feeling. The whole time I was at college she never left my mind once. Now I was sitting at the dining table with the rest of my family but Lizzy was nowhere in sight. That only made me worry more, she never missed a family meal and she was never late to anything. “She will be here in a moment” My mom replied. “Good.” I breathed a sigh of relief. I started to fill my plate with the food on the table in front of me only to be distracted a few minutes later when Lizzy

Elizabeth Summers When I woke up this morning my room smelled faintly of Jasper. It was almost as though he had been in my room watching me while I was sleeping but that couldn’t be true. I had to be imagining it, at least that is what I tried to convince myself of as I got dressed for college. After all, the alternative was just strange. What possible reason would Jasper have to be in my room? I didn’t have anything that he could want unless he wanted to see me and he usually only wanted to do that so he could bully me. No, I must have been imagining it, he usually tried to stay as far away from me as possible when we were both at home. Come to think about it, he was uncharacteristically kind to me last night, maybe he felt guilty about the fact that he almost killed me. I heard some of the Omega’s talking yesterday, they said that Jasper and his dad had an argument after what happened to me the other day. Maybe I am being overly optimistic by making conclusions after one day but i

Jasper Hartford My lips were only a few centimetres away from Lizzy’s. They looked so warm and inviting, slightly parted as though she was waiting for me to claim them. I could feel her breath on my skin, causing my whole body to respond as I longed for her touch. I desperately wanted to push her against the wall and make her scream my name in pleasure. “Jasper, what are you doing?” “Kissing you.” I crossed the remaining space between us and closed my eyes as I brought my lips towards hers. I waited for the moment our lips made contact but that moment never came. When I opened my eyes again I realised that Lizzy was no longer standing directly in front of me, she had taken a couple of steps back. Why would she back away from me like that? The way she was looking at me and the way she whispered my name made it feel like she wanted me just as much as I wanted her, so why would she back away? ‘Maybe she is shy, maybe you should take things a bit more slowly.’ Garnet suggested. I igno

Elizabeth Summers I had been sitting on the sofa at home for the last half an hour waiting for Oliver to pick me up. I had been avoiding him ever since this morning, in fact, I had been avoiding everyone since this morning. I didn’t want to have to deal with any of them. Oliver with his stupid ideas about our relationship, my other friends trying to push us together, and Jasper with his mind-boggling behaviour over the last few days. I had considered more than once messaging Oliver to cancel whatever tonight was. Then I could spend the whole night locked in my room instead, pretending that the world around me hadn’t suddenly turned itself upside down. Unfortunately, my Omega side wouldn’t let me do that, the thought of letting Oliver down made me feel so bad that I thought I might throw up. That meant I was left with no option other than to go on this stupid fake date with Oliver. “Are you OK dear? You have been distracted all afternoon.” Jasper’s mom asked. “It is nothing.” “No o

Elizabeth Summers I didn’t see Oliver during the game, I assume he went home after being accosted by Jasper and Nico. So instead I spent the game sitting next to Adam, which wasn’t too bad even though I had very little idea what was going on in the game. To me, it just looked like a lot of needless running and shouting. It was safe to say this wasn’t my usual scene, I preferred quieter pastimes with fewer people around. “Adam, would you be able to drive me home?” I asked, as the game finished and people started getting up to leave. I had been worrying about how to get home ever since I realised that Oliver wasn’t coming back. It took me almost the whole duration of the game to build up the confidence to ask that one simple question. Even now I could feel my heart pounding in my chest while I waited for his response. “No, I know Jasper would want to take you home personally.” “Oh.” I didn’t know what else to say to that. I was sure Jasper would much rather give one of his cheerleadi

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
