Jasper Pov
I was shocked when I heard Amaya say that. I loved how she could just stand up for herself. Most girls would have cowered next to me but, Amaya stood her ground."You got a feisty one there, cousin," Mason said
"Cousin?" Amaya questioned. "Oh, he didn't tell you? Our moms are sisters." "So you were hitting on someone you know is with your cousin? Wow, what a great cousin you are" "Hey, I saw a cute girl so I shot my shot." "And you missed. Come on Amaya we have a few stops to make." I turned Amaya away, walked with her into the palace, and took her to the pack doctor the only person I knew that could help Amaya talk to her wolf. Once we got there, I knocked on the door and heard someone shout "come in!" I opened the door and the pack doctor was in front of the cabinets on the side of the room. She was wearing a dress under her white lab coat with her hair pinned back a little. "Alpha. Luna. To what do I owe this visit?" she asked looking at us. "She is a newbreeder and she needs to get into contact with her wolf" When I told her that Amaya was a newbreed her face went blank. "A newbreed we haven't had one of those in years, come dear sit." she led Amaya to the table to lie down. "Stay still." She asked Amaya and she slightly nodded. She took out a needle and Amaya looked scared. "Wait you're going to poke me with that?" "Yes, it's a dose of a mix to break any barriers that are up stopping you from communicating with your wolf." the doctor answered "Does it have to be a needle?" she asked. I could feel her fear from where I stood. I lightly squeezed her hand, little sparks danced in our hands. "I'm right here," I told her to give her some comfort. Amaya nodded her head at the doctor and she squeezed her eyes shut and my hand. Amaya looked in and out of a stable mind. "This will make her wolf come out. So she needs to sleep." the doctor said Amaya tipped over to the side, I caught her and picked her up. She was bigger than most girls but that's what made her look loveable. I walked her to the room she was staying in and put her on the bed. As I placed her down she started to move. I took off my shirt and laid it down next to her. She dug her face into it and didn't move. I left her room and went to mine and changed clothes. As soon I was done changing my Dad's mind linked to mine. "Jasper, Come now we have a problem. " I walked to his office and opened it. I saw my father sitting at his desk and Chloe in one of the chairs in front of him. Chloe was a close family friend and my step-inmate. A step-in mate is when the alpha has lost a mate or his mate has died, the step-in mate is meant to become the alpha’s mate, and the pack's Luna. After I turned sixteen and didn't find my mate Chole became my step-in mate which I don't need anymore, now that I have Amaya. "Come in son." my dad said I walked all the way in and sat down. "What's up?" "Well, it would seem that Chloe and her parents think it's time for you two to step up as Alpha and Luna." my father stated "Together?" I said dumbfounded "Yes, your parents are getting old and we are ready. My combat is so much better and you've always been good so we're ready." Chloe said. "Come on baby," she said trying to grab my hand. I yanked it away from her. "I can't be with her. I've found my mate and she's the rightful Luna." I started getting mad that they thought I would be with her. "What who?" Chloe asked standing up to look me in the eyes. "Her name is Amaya. She was just turned by Jacob." "The newbreeder?" my dad said in a questioning tone. "Yes. Her wolf just started to talk to her today. And she's seen my wolf." I felt my voice sound more joyful as I remembered the things that happened today. "SHE WHAT?" my father yelled "Why would you show a human your wolf after knowing you for half a day," he said as he rubbed his temple. "But she believes. This means that she will be luna. Right?" I asked my father. "No, she can't. I was promised that I was going to be luna. That I would rule, which means that if this isn't fixed then I'll tell my father." Chloe said in a pouting voice. Chloe's family helped my family build the pack. If they left we would lose more than half of our pack. "Ok let me think. Son where is your mate?" my father asked turning to me. "She's resting," I said "Ok, when she wakes up we will pick this back up ok?" Chloe and I nodded our heads and left. I walked away as fast as I could but not fast enough. "Are you sure she's your mate?" I heard Chloe ask. I turned around and looked at her as if she had asked the dumbest question. "Am I sure? Yes, I think I know who's my mate and who's not." I told her. I was starting to get pissed off by Chloe today. "But we have such a good connection. I love you she doesn't," she said coming closer to me. " She'll grow to love me. She just found out that shifters are real. Think she can learn to love me." I spit the last part to her. But she didn't back down. "But we don't know that for sure. I'm here and I love you, I always have and always will." she came closer to me and put her hand on my chest. I grabbed it and tighten my grip. "I don't love you. My mate will love me as much as I love her. And you will not touch me ever again. Got it?" I told her with a growl Not only was she disrespecting me but my mate also. And I can't have that. I harshly let go of her hand and she almost fell to the floor. She got up and straightened herself. "Let me show you how much I love you." before I could do anything she pulled me into a kiss. It felt nasty and unsatisfying. I pulled away from her and she had a smirk on her face. "Oops I didn't see you there," she said. Then the scent of spicy vanilla hit me. I spun around and saw a daze Amaya, looking at us. I was about to step closer when she started to run. "Amaya wait!" I yelled running after her. If Chloe ruined any hope I had with Amaya it would be her head on a platter.Amaya I woke up and the faint smell of cinnamon apple wrapped around me. I thought that Jasper was next to me but there was nobody there. I lifted my head and saw that his shirt was next to me which means... A shirtless Jasper is running around. I got up to go find Jasper to give him back his shirt. As I walked up and down the palace I realized I don't know where his room was. As I walked the hallway I missed having my sister with me to do dumb things with and so I wasn’t walking the halls by myself, I had made up my mind to ask for my family once I get the moment as I was going to turn the corner I saw Jasper talking to someone.She was a girl who looked around my height. She had pale skin and rich blonde hair. She was wearing a skirt that was a little too small for her. She saw me and then started to smirk. She looked back at Jasper. "Let me show you how much I love you, " she said before she pulled Jasper into a deep kiss. I felt a little pain in my heart as they kissed. I
Jasper I had walked from our conversation because I know if I stayed there any longer then I would have said too much. I walked out of the palace and into the woods next to the training grounds, I took off my clothes and shifted. As I ran in wolf form I had one thought on my mind, as much as I am ready to have Amaya as my mate I’m not ready to trust newbreeders. My mother was a newbreeder. My father was going to be alpha and had not found his mate yet so he had to marry his step-inmate Marie and they fell in love. By the time he meet my mother he had already had my two older sisters with his step-inmate, and he tried to have a relationship with my mother. She was in love with him but my father was torn between the two. They had me and I was crowned future alpha because I was born from the pack’s true luna and alpha. My mother tried to raise me as my father was with his step-in mate but it only hurt my mother. One day my mother snapped and hurt Marie after an argument, my father banne
Amaya After the girl left I went into the bathroom to try and freshen up. After today I was so tired, I had to make sure there was clothing that would fit me before I went into the shower so I wouldn’t forget. Luckily the closet had a few shirts, shorts, and other things that I would need. Once I got out of the shower and dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, I felt a sharp hot burning pain in my body from my feet to my head the pains mainly lingered in my chest. It hurt so badly I fell to the floor, I gripped my chest in pain holding in my screams. The pain slowly started to go away for a minute and I gladly welcomed the air into my lungs As I was taking deep breaths, the pain started again this time ten times worse, I let out a bloodcurdling scream to try and relieve the pain. I was so lost in the pain I didn’t realize it when someone came into the room. “Amaya?” someone called, it was a voice I had not heard before. I looked up to see a guy that looked around my age, he had a muscula
Jasper I went to Amaya’s room hoping to feel better, hoping that I could explain to her why she was in pain last night but I came to find out that Elijah was with her last night. I knew I could feel someone with her but I thought it was Melina or a maid, the fact that it was a male made my wolf angry, and me anxious. But I was left confused and stunned. I was confused about how she was able to move as nothing happened. When my father would be intimate with Marie my mother would not be able to move for the next week or so, but Amya looked as if nothing happened. And I was stunned at how angry she was with me, I thought the mate bond would have more control over her. Every time Jacob would apologize to Melina for sleeping with someone or my father would come to apologize to my mother for the pain she felt, they would say it was okay and continue as if nothing happened. Yet Amaya is holding a grudge against me as if the mate bond isn’t doing to her what it did to them. I try not

Amaya “It’s difficult because I still want to be luna and I will be luna, newbreeder” the end of her sentence had so much hate in it, I was a newbreeder not by choice but I still was who I was. “I’m sorry to pop your bubble but that makes no logical sense. If you are made for someone why would you want someone else, someone who wasn’t made for you,” I stated clearly no one ever said no to miss diva “Because before you come I was meant to be with him and no one, not even you will take that from me. It's my birthright” every word that left her mouth had a cocky tone to it. “Okay, clearly this is a topic that will not be settled easily so how will we fix this?” I asked turning to alpha Micheal “Well, um, I’m open to all ideas,” he said, throwing up his hands in the air and leaning back into the chair. “So this is how you're going to deal with this. Let an idea fall onto your lap and go with it” the man said who stood near the sofa with a woman to his side. I had put two and two to
Jasper I could hear and feel but I couldn’t see and move, I guess it was true that when you can’t see your other senses get heightened. I could hear the cries of someone, I could feel the sparks that came off of her. She held me so close to her body moving my hair from my face and holding my face, the way she screamed for help and the blood cries she let out I never would have thought she cared enough about me to cry this much for me. “Please come back, I forgive you.” I heard her say to me, I know that my wolf spirit would heal me but it would take time and since my injuries are this bad it will take a long time. She continued to scream until I could feel someone else there. I felt them lift me and carry me somewhere, I began to lose the rest of my senses and fall into the darkness. **** I woke up to the same senses I could hear and I could feel. I felt that I was elevated on something soft and I could hear beeping and someone breathing, more than one person. A few minute
Amaya After the incident with Jasper, I wanted to know what happened and how was I able to throw him in the air without touching him? Jasper recovered after two nights in the hospital since then he has been touchy with me. It relaxes my wolf spirit and me because it shows that he is not mad at us and he cares for us, but he makes time to help me figure out what I did and how I did it so far we have nothing. We are in the library within the palace with Melina trying to see if there was anything that we could find that resembles what I did. “Why don’t we search it up on a laptop?” Melina asked, closing another book as she sat across from me. “Because they will give us myths and the books are from our realm so they are accurate,” Jasper said as he walked back looking down at a book. “Maybe that’s what we need. Myths. I’ve never heard of something like this happening, have you?” Melina asked Before Jasper could rebuttal a worker for the palace came through the big library double d
Amaya Walking into the castle, it looked as if it was an ancient Roman chapel. The windows had stained glass with different artworks and designs. We stopped in front of a foyer that had two sets of stairs that split into two with staggered chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The pillars that held everything up seemed to have been renovated, but they still gave off the vibe of an old castle. Lynda stopped in front of me and turned with a grin-eating smile. Lynda and Isabel didn’t give me a reason not to trust them but ever since I became part of the world someone has been trying to hurt me or kill me. “You don’t have to be afraid. The smell of fear is basically pouring out of you” Lynda said looking me up and down. I frowned my eyebrows and looked at her as if she was insane, with the question of how someone can smell an emotion. “Lynda specializes in empathy. She spent years learning to read people” Erica says walking right to me. “I don’t take offense to it, you’ve been through
Amaya I have come to peace with my emotions. The pain, the dullness, the anger. It’s still there, but I tell myself it doesn’t hurt. It wouldn’t be the biggest lie I’ve told myself. I stare at myself in the mirror, not knowing who looks back at me. I try to think back to my life before all of this, about how that was almost a year ago. I wanted so badly to return home to my parents, friends, and school, but now I want to become who I was meant to be. A knock at my door made me snap back into reality; Erica opened the door and walked to me. She wore black leggings with a hoodie; here, she had only worn things a princess would wear. The capital was in Colorado, and even though events on the other side of the barrier didn’t affect the other side, the weather was the same for both. “You ready?” she asked, squeezing my shoulder. I nodded my head and walked out of the now-empty room. I tried to leave all the clothes and other things they had given me while I was here, but everyone enco
Jasper I knew it was coming, I tried to prepare myself but in that moment nothing mattered. The pain that was on her face and the emotions that radiated off of her was enough for me to know that the pain was more than she could handle. I had to shift and move around people to try and catch up to her. I could feel both connections fighting inside of me, one longing to be with Amaya and the other wanting to stay loyal to Chloe. My heart and soul wanted Amaya but I knew I could never have her again. I ran out of the door that she ran out of, not being able to see her. I followed her scent into the woods that were behind the building, I ran trying to catch up to her. I could see her leaning against a tree, her silk dress lit up with the yard lights that were scattered around on the ground. She had her eyes closed inhaling and exhaling deeply, she opened her eyes and turned to me. “What are you doing here?” she asked out of breath. “I had to make sure you were okay,” She pushed hers
Amaya I didn’t know whether to consider the coronation as a wedding or a very overdressed prom. Erica took me outside the barrier to get a dress that the people of the town didn’t make. Due to the multiple attacks that the pack has had, we got a lot of security. It was just Erica and me, she started to ask me about my life. What was I majoring at college, what was my life like growing up, and what was my love life like? I would answer by being careful not to overshare, but I also knew she was only trying to get to know me so I didn’t hold it against her. “When we get to the castle, I just know Isabell will adore you,” She said looking down at her phone and texting someone. “Isabell. She’s the youngest princess right?” I asked. “Yes, our parents had her just five years after they had you. The wolves that are on the board wanted another werewolf, but the witches wanted another witch, and the witches got their wish.” she joked. We slowly pulled up to the first store, we stepped out
Amaya The drive back to the barrier was like a breath of fresh air. There wasn’t any chaos, no one to tell us what we were meant to be doing; just us alone. Sadly, we didn’t get to stay in the hotel as long as I had hoped, but being with Jasper was all I had wanted. When we pulled up to the barrier entrance, it seemed different than when we had come. Once we passed through I could tell something was wrong, we had gotten into the pack’s territory. The border patrol was gone, Jasper looked around to see if anyone was there. We finally got to the palace to find everyone in one of the meeting rooms with a round table in the center and couches along the side, yelling back and forth. Micheal, Jacob, Woods, Princess Erica, and Prince Brandon were all yelling around the table. “What is going on?” Jasper asked once we entered the room. Everyone turned their heads and let out a sigh of relief. “Jasper, I’m so glad you’re safe,” his oldest sister said, coming to give him a hug. Brandon and Er
Jasper Once we passed the barrier, we quickly started diving to our destination. It was as if Amaya was racing time itself, once we got out of the open road and started to encounter traffic I could feel the breath I was holding in release at every stop light and sign. “Where are we going? You need to be pushing a hundred?” I asked as we stopped at a red light. “Well, I haven’t been out of that town for months and neither have you, so we are going to the one place where we can party, drink, eat, and have fun,” she said, turning her head to me. She looked at my hair and started to laugh. “On second thought, you're not going anywhere with your hair like that,” she said as she ran her hand through my hair. It sent a warm spark that surrounded my head as I closed my eyes and leaned into her touch. She took away her hand which made me quickly open my eyes to see that the light had turned green, she continued to drive into the city. The sun had just started to set when I realized where w
Jasper It was slowly but surely getting closer and closer to my birthday. I hadn't liked my birthday but this was the cherry I didn’t need on this horrible day. I had been strategizing how I would run the pack with Amaya and Chloe, ideally, it would be Amaya but I needed to plan for the worst. I wanted to stay in the fantasy that there was a chance that we could be together, and that my father hadn't made a horrible decision for me. As my birthday came up so did the responsibilities of becoming alpha. My father was giving me all of the passcodes and telling me how he had organized the pack and all of its information. I hadn’t liked his way of setting it up so I planned to change it. I spent the rest of my time organizing the files and folders the way I wanted them. I was not the only one who had to prepare to step into a leadership position, Jacob and Elijah and to have lessons on what they do for the former beta and third in command. “So after that, the alphas for the southern
Amaya I never thought my powers were useful or could be used for anything useful. But clearly, Jasper thought I could. As we left the orphanage I couldn’t stop thinking about a conversation I had with my royal siblings. After leaving the woods behind the palace and walking in, I wanted to talk to them, just us. I walked to the hall where the room was and walked in right as they were about to leave. “I want to talk to you,” I said looking at them as they were talking to some workers. They dismissed them, leaving after they bowed. “What is it that you want to talk about so urgently?” Brandon asked “I know that I have a low chance of becoming luna of this pack and or Jasper's mate but I want peace. I want to know that I can leave and not hurt him. Is there a way to make the bond go away without rejecting each other?” I asked, I know the only way to make the mate bond go away was rejection and I’ve heard what it does to people and I don’t want that to happen to us. “There is a way to
Jasper I knew telling Amaya what my father did would cause more problems in the future, but it wasn’t just my life that was being affected negatively. Amaya turned a few months ago and found out that she had powers and was royalty. I walked with her to different games and had her try some of our pack’s food, it hadn’t been that different from the food they make in the human dimension. As we were talking, John and another senior member came up to Amaya and me. “Ah, Jasper, I am so happy to see you having a good time.” he said in a cheerful tone.” “Yes, me too,” I said, trying to be professional. He looked over to Amaya who was standing next to me then back at me as if asking me to introduce him. “ Amaya, this is John. This is Amaya, my mate.” I said. He squinted his eyes at me as if I had said something I shouldn’t have. I knew that saying she was my mate would anger him but the moon goddess chose her to be with me. “Ah, it is nice to finally meet you. You have slowly become
