INICIAR SESIÓNLORA'S POV I failed to get any sleep throughout the night. Regardless of how strongly I urged my body to relax, fatigue never completely overtook me. The faint but constant pain spreading from the injury on my back made each movement unbearable, yet that wasn't the actual reason I remained awake.It was Jasper.The picture of him remained etched inside my thoughts. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw him battling against all impossible odds, shielding us without a second thought. And now, I didn't know whether he was still holding on or if he had already given in.That realization sent a painful stab through my chest. I was frightened.Frightened that if I allowed myself even the briefest second of sleep, something horrific would occur. That the next instant I opened my eyes, someone would arrive carrying devastating news.I shifted my eyes, letting it rest on Syrah and Mira, huddled together while sleeping. Their chests moved up and down steadily, their calm expressions completely oppo
Lora's POV Syrah and Mira were positioned in the rear seat of the vehicle. Their unexpected burst of strength drained their weak bodies. I allowed them to rest inside the vehicle while I attended to Jasper. Even though I was injured too, I still succeeded in settling everyone in while waiting for assistance to arrive.I sat on the floor; Jasper’s head rested across my lap. I continuously checked his pulse to ensure he remained alive. Every second mattered, and with each passing minute, the possibility of Jasper surviving became smaller.“Stay with me, Jasper...” I whispered beside his ear as I held him carefully like an infant, refusing to release him. I feared he would slip away from me within a moment.“Help is arriving,” I muttered, my tone shaking. “You only need to endure slightly longer, alright? Just a little more...”But as time continued passing, his breathing weakened further, his body growing heavier against me.I had never felt so helpless like this in my life..Several m
LORA'S POV My embrace tightened around Mira, his tiny frame warm and calm against me, entirely unaware to the increasing threat surrounding us. Every instinct inside my body remained sharply alert as my eyes flickered around the poorly illuminated parking area, searching for any further trace of threat.“Jasper...” His name escaped my mouth before I even noticed it, my voice barely above a whisper. It wasn’t my own survival that terrified me—it was my children. I couldn’t allow anything to happen to them.Jasper positioned himself before me, his posture defensive, his arm still extended as a shield between us and the unfamiliar danger. “Just remain behind me,” he stated, his voice calm and unwavering. “I will safeguard every one of you, regardless of the sacrifice.”A chill traveled down my spine.Those statements resembled a pledge. An oath. Yet something about them disturbed me. As if he already understood that whatever was about to happen wouldn’t conclude peacefully.A heavy, d
Lora's POV The dazzling lights of the carnival shimmered against the night sky, casting a soft, golden glow over everything in view. The air carried the aroma of buttery popcorn, sugary cotton candy, and the distant crackle of frying dough. People were laughing and screaming happily on the rides, while music from the carousel played, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment.We had entirely lost track of time.Syrah and Mira were racing ahead, their small hands gripping colorful balloons while their laughter echoed through the cool evening air. Their excitement was infectious, and before I realized it, I found myself letting go of my worries, even if only for a moment."I think you just broke a record for riding the Ferris wheel the most times in one night," I teased as Syrah pulled me toward another game booth."It’s my favorite!" she exclaimed, bouncing on her toes. "Everything looks so beautiful from up there!"Jasper chuckled beside me, shaking his head. "It’s a miracle you’re
Lora's POV I completed the cooking and dried my hands with a cloth, prepared to arrange the table. But as I moved toward the dining space, my steps abruptly halted at the entrance.What I saw in front of me was something I had never imagined witnessing, something that sent an odd pang straight through my chest.Jasper sat between Syrah and Mira, his broad build making them look even smaller, yet he somehow blended perfectly between them. He held a tiny coin between his fingers, tossing it upward before making it vanish, only to produce it from behind Syrah’s ear.Syrah gasped in excitement, her palms coming together. "Again! Again!" she exclaimed.Mira, ever doubtful, narrowed her eyes. "I saw you hide it," she accused, though there was still a hint of amusement in her typically serious expression.Jasper smirked, leaning in slightly. "Are you certain about that?" And just like that, he made the coin disappear again.The twins gasped, utterly captivated, their giggles echoing through
LORA'S POV Jasper fulfilled his word. He didn’t allow me a moment of sleep last night. I lost track of how many times I drifted into unconsciousness, only to be dragged back into the blaze by his unrelenting touch. Every time I believed I had reached my limit, he proved otherwise, pulling every ounce of pleasure from me until I became nothing but a shaking, breathless wreck beneath him. I had yielded to him entirely. My Mind, body, and soul surrendered to him completely. The first thing I noticed when I slowly lifted my eyelids was the strange ceiling above me. I attempted to move, only to realize I was trapped. Jasper’s strong thighs were intertwined with mine, holding me down against the bed. One of his arms was wrapped tightly around my waist, locking me to him, while his face rested on my neck. His warm breath brushed across my skin, sending a faint shiver through me. For a brief second, I remained still, letting myself savor it. This rare instant where he wasn’t forceful
LORA'S POV I stayed on top of him while both of us tried to breathe properly again, our bodies still close and unwilling to part. My chest rose up and down unevenly as I struggled to steady myself, and I could still feel his thick length beating inside me, reminding me of what we had just done and
LORA'S POV "Please suck me more..." I whispered, my voice trembling as I leaned into him, unable to stop the intoxicating sensations resonating through my body. My hands pressed lightly against him, wanting more yet unsure on how to ask. Jasper’s grin widened further, his red eyes bright with tr
LORA'S POV I turned my head, doing everything I could to avoid Jasper’s fervent kisses, but he kept returning, refusing to stop, refusing to let me have any space. Every time I tried to move away, his lips would find me again—brushing along my jaw, sliding down the side of my neck, lingering over
LORA'S POV I had almost used the entire bottle of healing ointment by the time I finished treating all of Jasper’s injuries. The room was quiet except for the steady sound of his breathing. He had finally fallen into a deep sleep, his body surrendering to the pain and exhaustion he had been resist
