Jessica steps into her penthouse, it's midnight already and she is exhausted. She barely has any strength left to turn on the lights and walks around the penthouse in the darkness with only the street lights of the city illuminating the place. She slowly undresses as she makes her way around the penthouse in her underwear on her way to the bathroom to take a much-needed shower. She runs the hot water and steps under the hot water jets, the water droplets of the shower gently massaging her body, and soaking her long black hair. wearing a business suit and tie, she could clearly see he was muscular and in perfect shape. Jessica catches herself rubbing her breast while thinking about this man, who caught her by surprise. "But that's over now he was just in town for the presentation I'm sure I won't see him again." Jessica thinks to herself. She gets out of the shower and goes to bed.
"This was really a terrible day, the client was really tough on me during my marketing presentation." Jessica thinks to herself and plays back her day, visualizing the young man that was leading the team she was presenting to. "He was extremely handsome and was the reason I was tripping over my words during the presentation, I won't let it happen again." Jessica is a perfectionist and was overcome with anxiety after she made the first mistake and just couldn't pull herself together again. The man was sitting in the middle of the room with three executives on each side of him, he had short blonde hair, fair skin, and piercing green eyes. Even though he was wearing a suit, she could make out that he was athletic and had a muscular body. Jessica closes her eyes as she drifts off to sleep with this mysterious man the last thing on her mind.The sun rises from behind the mountain and Jessica is already on her morning run and working up a sweat. Music is playing loudly through her earpods, she is focused on her run and not watching the road ahead, suddenly she runs into something large and she goes flying to the ground. "I am so sorry, are you ok?" a male voice is calling out, Jessica tries to get back onto her feet but she is dazed and struggles to find her balance, as she falls over the man pulls her into his arms, she looks up and is surprised to see its the man from the presentation, his eyes are locked onto her, Jessica can feel his strong muscles gripping her body, he legs are paralyzed all over again. He recognizes her "it's you, Jesicca from marketing right?" Jessica struggles to find the necessary words "Uhm yes, I'm Jessica, I mean yes that's me, marketing." The man smiles and finds her confusion amusing. "I'm Roger, he lets go of her and she steadies herself as Roger puts out his hand, Jessica reaches out to shake his hand "I remember." Jessica smiles at him and she is overcome with desire as their handshake lingers. I am going to be in the city for a few more weeks do you think you could maybe show me around, tonight?" Roger steps a bit closer, his body almost touching her as he waits for her response. Jessica thinks to herself, "How can I say no, he is so hot and I haven't been with a man for so long, my work has been taking up all of my time and I deserve a break and to have some pleasure in my life." Jessica looks up at him smiling "Yes that would be nice, I know a nice place we could go." "Great I'll get your details from your secretary and pick you up at 7." Roger continues on his run and looks back at Jessica who is smiling back at him, Jessica has a wide grin on her face that she cannot get rid of as she makes her way back to the penthouse."The rest of the day flies by for Jessica, the only thing on her mind is Roger and what the evening holds for the two of them. "It's her final presentation of the day and she is watching every minute tick by. The presentation wraps up and she dashes out of the conference room and makes her way to the parking lot. She fumbles for her keys in front of her car and they drop down to the floor, Jessica bends over to pick up the keys and as she gets back up she sees a tall man in the reflection of her car window standing a few meters away from her just staring at her. The man is tall and pale with slick black hair. Jessica turns around and looks back at him confidently. "Why don't you just take a picture, it will last longer!" The man slowly walks over to her, looks at her from head to toe, and sniffs the air around her, he looks at her and smiles "You will do." The man walks away and Jessica quickly gets into her car, the encounter sending chills down her spine.Jessica is getting ready for her date when the doorbell rings, she rushes to the door but stops herself, "Jessica, don't look so desperate." she tells herself. Jessica opens the door and Roger is standing there, he looks at her from head to toe, Jessica is wearing a tight red dress that highlights her curves and a pair of stiletto heels. Roger is wearing a casual suit without a tie he steps close to her, Jessica is finding it very difficult to control this animal instinct to rip his clothes from his body, her breathing gets heavy. "Can I come in?" Jessica comes back to her senses "Oh yes, come inside." she steps aside and Roger makes his way into her penthouse. "you have a beautiful place" "Thank you." Roger steps over to the large windows overlooking the city, the sun has gone down and the streetlights are starting to light up the city. " Wow this city is really beautiful, I've been all over the world but there is something special about Cape town."Jessica walks up to stand next to him as they take in the view, he looks into her eyes and puts his hand under her chin, he pulls her in to kiss him. The kiss gets more and passionate and Jessica starts to pull at Roger's clothes, Roger tries to get a word out " should we still go out to dinner?" Jessica stops herself, she can hardly breathe, "Yes let's go out."The couple makes their to a nearby restaurant and finds a table overlooking the ocean. They order dinner and drinks, "So Jessica how long have you been in marketing?" "I studied marketing in college and I've been at this company for the last five years, what about you?" " I've been jumping around for the last few years, I actually just started at this company you were my first presentation." Jessica looks at him surprised " Oh wow, you looked so confident in that meeting, you had me falling over my words." "I guess I'm just naturally confident." The waiter brings their food and Jessica and Roger continue with the meal and conversation. After dinner Jessica shows Roger around the city, they go bar hopping and with every passing hour, their bond grows closer as they laugh and dance through the night.It's close to 2 am and they are back at Jessica's penthouse, they both have had a few too many, but they both can't wait any longer as they start kissing passionately again inside the elevator. This time Roger is not waiting and he runs his hands all over Jessica's body. Jessica's breathing gets louder as she struggles to catch her breath each time Roger rubs his hand up her thigh. They make their way into the penthouse and Roger pushes Jessica onto the bed and starts to undress, Jessica takes her time to admire his Chiseled abdomen and muscular arms, Roger leans over and crawls on the bed onto Jessica and kisses her deeply again. He slowly takes off her dress and they make passionate love.The sun's glare wakes Jessica up from her sleep, she looks over to the other side of the bed to find it empty "Typical" she says to herself in a disappointed tone. She gets out of bed and walks over to the bathroom as she walks past her bed she sees Roger laying naked on the floor next to the bed and he is covered in blood. "Aaaaagh!!!" Jessica screams at the top of her voice out of terror, her screams wake up Roger and he rushes over to her to calm her down he grabs her hands and looks into her eyes. "Jessica! Jessica! listen to me, it's not my blood!"Roger opens his eyes, to find Jessica asleep next to him. They had just had the best sex he has ever had, Roger thinks to himself "She looks so beautiful, this was not what I was expecting when I came to this city, how could she bring out these intense feelings in me, We just met but it feels like we've been together forever. Suddenly Roger feels a sharp pain in his skull, like a hot knife being pierced into his head and he hears an ominous voice speaking to him. " Roger, where have you been hiding, the pack misses you." "Aiden? how are you speaking to me?" "I'm the wolf that turned you, we have a special bond, I saw today that you found yourself some fresh meat, bring her me to me." "No, she's not meat and I told you I'm not interested in joining your pack, I never asked to be this monster, you should have just killed me." Aiden laughs out loud "Where the fun in that?" "Leave me alone!" Were not too far from you and your meat, let's make this interesting, you come over and fight on
Then who's blood is this! Jessica shouts out hysterically and pulls away from Roger, "Let me go!" Jessica steps back from Roger, the tears are rolling down her cheeks and she cowers in the corner of her room terrified of the man standing in front of her. Roger walks over to her and goes down on his knees, "Jessica I need to tell you something, I'm not a normal guy, there is something different about me. Fifty years ago, I was hiking in the mountains of Romania and got attacked by an animal, I lost a lot of blood and was in the hospital for weeks on the edge of life, then suddenly I started healing fast, the doctors were at a loss and couldn't explain it. I left the hospital as if nothing happened. That night I was visited by a strange man who told me it was him that attacked me and that he was a werewolf, I laughed it off but he transformed in from of me and told me that soon I will be able to do the same. That moment I was scared out of my mind, but he took me under his wing and in
It's been days since Jessica's last encounter with Roger and she tries her best to forget about him and throws herself into her work and goes out partying with her friends Susan and Lauren. It's Saturday evening and Jessica is getting ready for another evening out with the girls, she is sitting in front of a mirror in her bedroom in her victorious secret, combing her hair. There is a storm outside and the raindrops are battering her window as the thunder roars and lightning strikes. Jessica keeps looking in the mirror and combing her hair, as the lightning strikes she sees a large shadowy figure sitting on the roof of the neighboring building in the reflection of the mirror, she turns around to get a closer look, but the figure is gone. The girls meet up at a nightclub, Jessica is already at the bar ordering drinks for the girls, Susan calls out to Jessica as she enters the club "Jessica!" Jessica turns around and walks over to the girls and gives them a hug "Hi girls! I
A young man is dancing alone in the middle of the packed dancefloor of a rave club. The flashing lights and lasers could easily induce an epileptic seizure. He is clearly having the time of his life, his eyes are closed as he reaches into the air and screams at the top of his lungs to the beat of the song that is playing. As he opens his eyes he catches a familiar figure from all the way across the floor. He immediately goes silent and a look of fear comes across his face. He immediately dashes across the dancefloor to the back of the club looking for an exit, he looks behind him to see if anyone has followed, his heart is beating frantically in his chest, he opens a fire escape and runs across the street narrowly missing oncoming traffic, the driver of the oncoming car angrily pressing down on his horn. The young man keeps running and turns into a graveyard. The lights of the streetlights go dim as he gets further away from them, soon the moon is the only source of light in the gra
Roger attempts to walk over to Jasper but Jessica grabs his arm. "No Roge!" Roger pulls himself free, crosses the road, and walks over to Jasper. "Jasper you don't have to do this." Jasper has a determined look on his face. " Railway yard, 10 pm" Jasper walks away with a quick pace and disappears among the oncoming crowd. Roger makes his way back to Jessica and they find a nearby diner. "The atmosphere is tense as they eat their meal. Jessica finally breaks the silence. "So what happened between you and that guy back there, is he also a werewolf?" she leans in to whisper the final part of her question." "Yes he is a werewolf but not like me, he is a lowborn." "What does that mean?" "It means he has no control of his transformations, when the moon is in a certain phase then he will transform into a werewolf for that evening. he is transforming tonight." "And you have to fight him tonight? for me?" "Yes." Jessica looks at Roger with a tear running down her cheek. "You don't have to do
The body of Jasper is laying on the ground of the railway yard, a policeman is standing over it and examining the wounds and taking pictures with a flash camera. A voice comes from behind the policeman "What do we have here?" Detective Silverman walks up to the policeman, he is wearing his long trench coat and a pair of dark sunglasses. The policeman walks up to Detective Silverman " Another young man, with a fatal wound to the neck, it looks like he was attacked by an animal, just like the others." Detective Silverman looks around him at the bloodstains splattered all around the yard and the walls of the carriages. "It looks like this young man really put up a fight against whatever attacked him." He walks over to one of the carriages and takes a closer look at one of the bloodstained wheels, there is a clump of fur sticking to the wheel, he calls a policeman over "Can you have a look at this?" The policeman comes over and looks at the clump of fur and has a confused look on his fa
Jessica is hard at work in her office trying to complete a slide show presentation, she is concentrating hard on the work in front of her. Suddenly there is a knock on her office door it's someone delivering a large bunch of long-stemmed roses. Jessica cannot hide the smile on her face, she knew who the roses are from. The delivery man leaves the office and Jessica's phone rings, she can see on her screen that it's Roger, she answers "Hi sexy." "Did you get the flowers I sent you?" "Yes they're beautiful, thank you." "You still hard at work? can I take you out for lunch or something?" "I am still busy with my presentation, don't you have work to do?" "Me? no, I'm on a sabbatical, took a year off." "Really? just like that?" "Yes, just like that, I want to spend as much time with you as possible." "I wish I could just walk away, but my work means a lot to me, I hope you can understand." "I understand, just come to me as soon as you can, OK?" "I promise as soon as I'm done." Jessica ha
Roger is sitting in his apartment and watching TV, he is growing anxious waiting for Jessica. The sun is starting to set over the city, Roger walks up to the window of the apartment, which is overlooking the ocean. His apartment is much smaller than Jessica's large penthouse, situated on the edge of the city closer to the ocean. He looks at his phone and dials Jessica's number. [ The number you have called is not available, please try again later.] Roger is starting to get worried as it gets darker outside. He sits back down on his couch, thinking to himself what he should do, he starts to hear a voice from inside his head, it's Aiden "Hi brother, long time no see, how are things going?" "What do you want Aiden?" "I know we left things a bit tense last time, but you know it's that time of the year again, and some of my lowborn's need some practice and I thought to myself, Roger could really help out with this problem." "No Aiden, I am done playing your games!
"Are you guys ready?" Jason turns to Ava a nd Roger, he grabs the Jericho pistol and loads it with the specail bullets. "How many wolves are there?" Ava runs over to the windo and looks outside its too dark to really see but I see a whole lot of glowing eyes, maybe 12 or 14." "I have 6 bullets in this pistol, I'll take out as many as i can before we get up close to them. Roger were you able to get that backup?" "Roger I made a few calls I just hope they come through." "I think its too late for hope, the war is on our doorstep." "Jason just make sure you dont take out Aiden with that weapon, leave him to me."The gang step outside into the darkness, the temperature has dropped signifficantly since sunset. Ava can visibly see the white vapour of cold air leaving her mouth. The flock of floating glowing eyes move in closer to them. The reality of the moment hits Jason as he can clearly see they are outnumbered.Jessica is at her mother's home, she is helping h
Jason steps back from his uncle, he has a startled look on his face. "Uncle you dont have to do this, we are blood!" Uncle Ivan calmly lets go of his arm. "I'm sorry my boy, you are very important to me and I love you like a son, but the order comes first and if I dont report you and the order finds out I will be killed along with you and all that you love." Jason reaches fr the door, he opens it and steps outside. He looks back at Ivan and walks quickly towards the waiting car. Roger sees him coming and starts the engine. As jason gets in he looks over at Ava, she can see something is not right and asks him. "Is everything Ok Jason?" "Everythings fine, lets go the sun is getting low." They make their way to Jason's father's wine farm.The team makes their way to the wine farm, the drive is quiet as they all quietly reflect on their lives up until this moment. Roger's mind drifts into thought as he watches the road ahead of him, he thinks about Jessica and the moments they sh
Come inside my boy, whats this about wolves coming to the winelands? Its true uncle Ivan, there is a pack of highborn, im not sure howmany on their way to kill me. I'm just here to grab some weapons and herbs and ill be far away to keep you out of danger." The sun is still high sit down, let me make you a cup of coffee first." Jason looks at his uncle with a confused look on his face, " Does he not get the danger that we are in? or does he not care?"Uncle Ivan comes back out of the kitchen with two mugs of coffee and signals Jason to sit down on the couch and hands him a cup. "You should have called me earlier and I could have had a few hunters from the order to help slaughter those animals. I'm not the young man that I used to be or else I could have been in the mix with you. Do you know how many battles I have been in over the years? I cant even count. I remember once we found a village filled with Fae in the Siberian rural country." Ivan has a smile on his face as h
Roger is driving as fast as he can in his way to Jason's place. He thinks to himself "I need to get hold of Jason, Aiden is planning to kill us all tonight, I managed to hide Jessica for a while but I am tired of running. I want a life for me an Jssica where can walk freely without ooking over our shoulders and that wilol only hapen when Aiden is dead. He dails Jason's number and while driving at an incredible speed on the freeway. Jason picks up te phone, Roger screams into his ear "Get out of the house!" What are you saying?why?" Aiden just spoke to me, he is tired of wating and is sending his whole pack of highborn to wipe us out!" I have Ava with me where do we go?" "You cant take her home, you might lead them to her family, take her to your uncle's wine farm, he wont look for you there." " That is where he and the rest of his pack killed my parent's." "There is no other place for us to hide, he will eventually find us, i think its time for us to take a stand, now be
The sky is dark above with stars piercing the darknes like holes in a napkin. Below little cottages are lit by candle light and two 10 year old boys are playing outside, chasing each other in a game of tag. A woman's voice calls out from inside a cottage. "Aiden!, Nicholas, don't run off too far, the woods are really dark." Aiden runs over to the front door of the cottage. "Dont worry mom, we wont." Nicholas comes rushing towards Jasper with hands stretched out towards him. "Im going to get you Jasper!" They both laugh out loudly as Nicholas chases Aiden. Aiden loses track of his whereabouts and runs further and further away from the cottage towards the dark forrest. As Aiden gets closer to the edge of the forrest the tal trees block the light from the moon and the stars.Nicholas looks up at the untimidating trees and becomes afraid. "Aiden we should go back home, we told mom we wouldnt go too far!" Aiden turns back and as he calls out to Nicholas a large, hair
Roger makes his way to Jason's home. He can't stop thinking about his mother and the last time he saw her. Suddenly his mind is invaded by Aiden. "Roger my good friend, you have been quiet these last few days. I think it's time for another round." "Where and when?" Aiden is taken aback by Roger's aggressive tone. " "Thursday morning 3 am, at the stadium construction site. Be prepared to take on another highborn, here is some incentive for you. If you beat him, you get to face me in our final fight." "You robbed me of a life with my family Aiden, for that you will die!" "I gave you a better life, you are more than just a fragile bag of blood living an insignificant life. You are immortal!" "You never gave me a choice, you should have just killed me! instead of making me another player in your sick games!" Roger is visibly infuriated as he screams at the top of his lungs while driving his car. he starts to pick up speed and races down the freeway with little regard for the other cars
Jessica and Roger are walking on the beach hand in hand. It's a beautiful sunny day with not a single cloud in the sky. Jessica stares at Roger as he watches the waves crashing onto the beach. She thinks about what they had to go through to get to this moment and how happy she is now. She thinks about how much she loves the man standing next to her and that there is nothing she would not do to spend her life with him. Roger turns to look at Jessica and she smiles back at him. "You are so beautiful right now Jessica, with the sun shining onto your face. you really take my breath away." Roger leans in to kiss her. " You're quite a handsome man yourself and I love you so much." "I love you too and I wish we could just stay in this moment forever."Jessica and Roger make their way back to Jessica's penthouse, at the penthouse, Roger heads to the fridge and ours himself a glass of juice. Jessica sits on the couch and asks Roger. "So could we go over your suicidal plan once again t
Jason and Tessa make their way carefully back to the parking area at the edge of the forest where Ralph and Stuart are waiting for Cameron to return from his hunt. They are standing in the headlights of the car that Tessa arrived in. "Ralph, do you think Aiden will be ok with you turning that guy without telling him?" Ralph rushes up to Stuart angrily. "Aiden might be the leader of the pack but he doesn't tell me what to do!" Stuart steps back and looks down at his feet in fear, he knows Ralph could kill him without a second thought. "I know, I'm just saying Aiden might want to know if there are new pack members." "Aiden does not need to know yet, we can turn a few more highborn, and then they can decide if they want Aiden as their pack leader or if I should lead them." "Are you talking about taking over the whole pack?" "Maybe, are you going to run off and tell Aiden?" " No, but you should be careful, Aiden will kill us if he even suspects he is going to be betrayed."
A young man is sitting in a dimly lit restaurant at a table. He is dressed in a suit and tie and across from him is a beautiful woman. She is wearing a shimmering black dress with a deep neckline revealing her ample cleavage. There is live classical jazz music playing in the background. The young woman looks at the man and nervously whispers"David, I really didn't think you would come tonight?" The man reaches across the table and holds the lady's hand. " I would never have missed this moment for the world Tessa, you are so much more beautiful in person, we have been chatting for a few weeks and I really couldn't wait any longer to be in your company." "I really couldn't wait either, you are so much more handsome as well, I can't believe a handsome millionnaire like yourself would agree to go out with a regular girl like me." "you are not just a regular girl, you are beautiful and smart, I have had the most stimulating conversations with you. I hope the night doesn't have to end aft
