Jasmine keeps mute as she drops down the blood bag back in the drawer, takes one of the phones and hands it over to me.
"I'm sure that will be enough for you, right? Sorry for being careless and dropping my snacks in there."
Snack?
"Um, okay?"The tense air around us decreases when she turns her back to me and begin to walk away.
"You didn't answer my question, Jasmine." I stand up as she stops walking. "Are you a vampire or not?"
"What if I am. Would that be bad..."
"Um..." I can't find the suitable words to respond to that.
"Will you kill me? You should know that I won't go down easily." She stares at me from the corner of her eyes.
The surprising thing is how her eyes holds so much determination. I have never seen Jasmine this serious before.
"Why would I want to kill you?" I ask in confusion then she turns to me with a small gasp.
"Why wouldn't you. The vampires and werewolves don't really like each othe
At night, my wolf jumps out of Jasmine's house much to my dismay even though I told her not to.She wonders around the city, skillfully bypassing people without them knowing but before I figure out what's happening, she is infront of Nathan's doorstep. Surprisingly, Nathan is standing there too.His eyes bores into my wolf's own, seeming like he is looking straight at me, maybe he is."I knew something was up with you." He says.I try to scream out his name but I'm not in control of this body and it's not like my wolf can speak words. She can only growl, grunt and howl along with other sounds. The conversation that involves words goes on in our minds, mentally."Aren't you going to come in?"This guy. What is he doing.Nathan steps away from the door, motioning for us to go in.I'm not really sure of my wolf's intentions towards Nathan but I think that they aren't evil since she walks into the house without any show of a
I'm naked. Naked in a bathtub with my also naked mate. That is more than enough reason to make me blush.My wolf has done something stupid and now I am the one facing the consequences. I can hear her giggling in my head.I'm glad that she is happy now but must it be at my expenses."You don't look alright." Nathan tells me and I smile shyly."I'm awesome, so awesome." I twirl my hair in my finger. "I just think the water is great to look at, yeah!"My eyes are set on the bubbles. They cover up my bare skin from his eyes and I am greatful for that one thing."What am I to expect?" I ask him but I still don't look up.He hums. "What's that?""The birthday party." I shrug and water pushes back and flows to the ground. "What going to happen, who am I going to meet... I mean things like that.""It's just a birthday party, you don't have to do anything you don't want to there and besides I will be at your side the whole
Nathan opens the car door for me when we are out of the house and I step into the car."Aren't we waiting for Jasmine?" I ask and he closes the door beside me, and walks to the driver's seat."She'll be here in a few minutes." He sighs. "Have you eaten?"I roll my eyes. "Oh, now you're asking me that, after I have been poked for more than an hour.""Sorry about that. I'm sure you'll have a lot to eat at the party." He smacks his lips together in sympathy."Speaking about the party, who exactly is the birthday girl."Seems like you've packed a lot of questions for me.""You're kidding me, I only asked one question.""And I'm sure that more are coming. Right?" He stares at me intensely."Are you going to answer me or not?"He closes his eyes and leans headfirst on the steering wheel."She's a friend. Just a friend."I squint my eyes at him and scoff. "You've said that before. What's her name."
I return to Jasmine and Nathan, aware of Evelyn who is probably smiling at them behind me.It's almost like my senses begin to come back and I realize what I have done. I just made a stupid deal that could cost me my life and freedom. I can't believe that I can be this gullible.As I take a sip out of my champagne, I recall the last conversation I had with Evelyn."To make things fair, I'll find a way for you all to spend the night here and both of you can have a room to yourself."I have no idea why she is helping me and I am certainly freaking out a little. I just made a deal with a goddess, a deal that involves giving up my freedom if I lose? It's crazy but I think that she cast a spell on me or something."Hey, are you alright. You look pale." Jasmine comes to my side and I smile at her when I see her worried glance."I'm just tired of waiting for the cake." I laugh nervously and point to the pink cake on the table far in the corner.
I find myself staring at Nathan when I wake up. He sleeps peacefully beside me, without a care in the world.I trace his lower lip with my finger as slowly as I can. If I wake him up now then who knows what will happen. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that we slept together, I need this time to think.I'm so lost in thought that when he grasps my finger, I almost jump out of the bed."You don't have to be scared. I'm the only one in this bed with you."My face turns crimson and I turn away, pulling my finger out of his grip and into the little space between us."I'm not scared." I mumble. I'm just embarrassed right now and you're making it worst!'Oh, cut the crap. You enjoyed last night, I can remind you what happened if you want...' My wolf snickers and I gasp, pulling myself up on the bed."What happened last night was a mistake, nothing more. I didn't expect to go into heat if not I would have been prepared."I c
I exhale. The warm air is driving my uneasiness away. It feels good to be out of the car but we have to walk on foot now, together...I wish I can tell him to take us back home, that I don't want to see Shelia today but that would put me back in the car with him... alone.I don't have the energy to replay the awkwardness again, at least not right now."You didn't tell me what Evelyn demanded for if you had failed."Dry leaves crunches under my feet."That's because you didn't ask."I hear a hum come from him before he speaks to me again."When are we going to talk about last night."A chill flows down my spine as I gulp."What? Talk about what?""Please don't play dumb with me. I already know all your tactics."I smack my lips together.Really, you know them all or just the ones I want you to know..."If it's okay, I'd like us to head to the castle after this."I turn to look at him. He is
Even after the reminder that I can chew him raw Andrew continues to kill my poor soul. I can only roll my eyes as an acknowledgement to anything he says or do."Andrew, can I talk to you for a second?" Nathan leaves Todd, David and Shelia behind and walks to us. "I promise that it won't take much time.""Um, sure." Andrew frowns and so do I, but other than that he doesn't make any sound as he leaves the room with Nathan.I watch their retreating figures with confusion. When I take a step to follow them Shelia moves to my side immediately and drags me away."Hey, let's go play by the riverside. Just you and me, Isabella. It will be fun."My eyes moves one last time to the room Nathan and Andrew went into. I wonder what they are talking about?"Are you listening to me at all?" Shelia frowns at me and I give her a goofy smile."Sorry about that, we can play now."Todd and David have already left to their rooms when Andrew and Nath
I glare at the clothes in my hands, wishing it was my wolf as I squeeze it in my hands."Now I regret asking you to tell me."'I kind of knew this would happen.' She replies.As instructed by Nathan, when I am dressed, I head out to meet the others and just as I expected, they are ready to go.Shelia is fascinated by Nathan's eyes and can't stop asking question even after he tells her that it's his eyes original colour."Then why did you hide it all this while?" She asks.Nathan turns to me when he see me coming. "Let's get going."Even David is coming? I never pegged him for one who would follow us...He notices my stare and rolls his eyes."I'm only coming because no one will stay here with me, nothing more."My lips stretches into a smile. He really wants to come, I can tell. His denial and attitude is just for show.It turns out that Jasmine did come but unfortunately she won't be coming with us.
