"W-What?"I stared at him. His mother is dead? I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a parent who is dead. Hell, I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have anyone you know dead."She's gone," his voice cracked. Guilt swirled in his eyes as he added, "And it's all my fault.""What happened?" I asked quietly. He stared at me for a moment before gesturing for me to sit down on the bed next to him. I did just that.I watched as Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed. He didn't look at me but stared at my window. "I was 14 years-old when my mom died. My family was close to each other. My parents would take Peyton and I to get ice cream all the time when we were kids. We went to the beach, park, you name it, we did it. My life was perfect. My father was Alpha and everyone loved him. My mother was the perfect Luna, so kind and beautiful. Everyone loved her. One day my pack was attacked by a group of hunters who had an alliance with Rogues.They had a goal to ge
I walked away from Parker's office and back down the hallway. Before I got to the door, it opened revealing a tall girl with long blonde hair. She had on white skinny jeans, a denim jacket, and a light pink crop top. To top it off she was wearing white killer heels that I probably would trip wearing.She was laughing with the girl next to her who had chestnut colored hair. Their eyes landed on me and I offered them a smile. They both returned it but it seemed forced for the blondeone."Hey, you don't seem familiar," the girl with chestnut colored hair spoke up. She was wearing blue skinny jeans and a white tank top with a black jacket."No, I'm not," I said. The blonde girl looked bored so I just focused on the other girl. She stuck out her hand and introduced herself, "I'm Chloe.""Jasmine," I responded, shaking her hand. The blonde girl's head snapped towards me and narrowed her eyes. I frowned at her not really understanding why she was looking at me like she wanted to kill me. I
I stared at my plate of food and poked at it with a fork. I had lost my appetite when I woke up that morning and it had hit me like a ton of bricks. Kyan was about to rape me.What was his problem?It's as if he knew I was going to be there. I didn't know what to think.He had changed a lot since the last time I saw him. He looked much stronger and well built. His whole demeanor had changed since high school and I wouldn't want to see him again. He had an odd aura around him but I couldn't figure it out.Every time I thought about how weak I was last night, a burst of anger would fill me and I really wanted to punch someone or something. I didn't like how I couldn't do anything and something could've happened if Parker hadn't showed up."Are you okay, Jasmine?" Logan asked as she came into the dining room to check on me. Parker had gotten Logan to prepare meals again and clean the house. I felt bad that she had all of the chores to do that I actually offered to help. She turned my off
We continued dancing but I stopped when I felt eyes on me. I turned my eyes and furrowed my brows when I saw no one."What's wrong, Jas?" Kennedy asked curiously as she tapped my shoulder. I turned to face her and shrugged, "Nothing is wrong." She nodded and went back to dancing.The song ended and now "Me Myself & I" started playing."I love this song!" Vivian shouted so we could hear her. We all cheered. I swayed my hips to the beat, mouthing the words to the song. Kennedy had gone to the kitchen to grab us all drinks. She came back with them and passed them out. We clinked our cups together and drank it. I didn't care what it was but allowed the alcohol to burn my throat as I swallowed it. It had been a while since I last drank and it felt kind of refreshing, but I didn't want to go back to my old ways, going out partying at least four times a week.The other girls went back for more but me, being the smart one, didn't go back because there had to be one of us who is capable of dri
"This is my room, you know," I snapped back, which earned a laugh from the girls inside my room.Nervously, I turned on my heel and started towards Parker's office, silently hoping he wasn't there. Because I had no luck whatsoever, I smelled his scent on the other side of the door. I slowly lifted my hand and knocked on the door, instantly regretting this. I heard a muffled 'come in', taking that as my cue to walk in. I don't know why I'm nervous. Taking a deep breath, I boldly walked in.My eyes looked around the room before landing on the large desk and my mate sitting behind it.He was looking at paper work. I walked up to his desk and stopped in front of it. Slowly, he lifted his head and when he took in my appearance they widened before darkening. I bit my lip as I watched Adam's apple bob up and down as he swallowed. His eyes finally met mine while he clenched his jaw."Peyton, her friends, and I are going to a party and Peyton wanted me to ask you if you wanted to come," I said
*Parker Mason*"Make sure you jerk off to someone other than me," she called from the stairs before heading up, not turning back. A weird feeling occurred within me. She heard? Did she see? I gulped at the thought. I was so tempted to follow her and apologize but I knew she wouldn't listen to me, I don't blame her either.'Here you go again, hurting her over and over again,’ my wolf spat angrily at me. I growled in response.'You're the one getting mad because she disrespected us! All I cared about was the fact she came back so late and how another male was around her,' I argued with him. My wolf growled at me this time. I slowly made my way to my office. When I sat down at my desk, I raked my hand through my messy hair. I barely slept last night. Jasmine was all that was in my mind. I regret everything I've done to this woman, she doesn't deserve any of it.When I realized what I was doing to her, I was scared shitless. I haven't felt as guilty as I did at that moment. My anger got t
