Wolfbane Chapter 83
JASMINE My parents brought me home on Monday night, picking me up on their way home from work. Dr. Luna told them what happened, so I didn’t have to. My mom didn’t say anything. She just sat in the front seat of the car as my dad walked me to the back seat. He then helped me up to my bedroom and into my bed. He looked at me, not speaking. I turned away from him, feeling shame at how pathetic I was being. I’d always read books and seen TV shows with female characters who withered away from heartbreak, and I hated that I was doing the same thing. But I couldn’t help it. The pain was debilitating. Not that I had personal experience with it, but I imagined it was similar to a bullet being shot through my chest. I stayed in bed for the remainder of the night, only rising to use the bathroom. It was the same all day Tuesday. My parents kept bringing me food that I ignored, not able to stomach it. On Wednesday morning, I received a text from Ivy reminding me of the dinner. I decided to igno

JASMINEKatie cleared her throat and said, "Well, Jasmine, this may be a bit of a shock, but Tyler's actually your half-brother."I practically choked on my apple juice. Both Jack and I stared at Katie."What!" Jack exclaimed. "Jasmine's uptight father knocked someone up in high school?"Katie laughed. "Drew, uptight? I mean, his parents, yes."Ivy joined in laughter. "He's changed quite a lot since you knew him. I think it's his mate.""To be honest, he had already changed significantly before I left. I shouldn't be too surprised."I felt a pain in my chest, and my lungs contracting, not able to speak. Suddenly everyone was looking at me."Are you okay, Jasmine?" Ivy and Jack spoke at the same time."Sorry, this is quite a lot, isn't it?" Katie asked."Will you be okay, Jasmine? Do you need to get some fresh air?" Ivy looked at me, concern on her face."Here, I'll take her outside," Tyler

JASMINE Ivy dropped me at home, and I thanked her again. I speed walked into the house, desperate to get back to wallowing in my misery. I was already imagining how comforting it would be to pull on my pajamas and crawl under my comforter, exiting the demands of the world. Although it was nice to get my mind off Luke for a little while, the sting in my chest wouldn't cease, and I could barely bring myself to feel normal. I swung the front door open to find my parents sitting on the couch. They both looked up at the sound of the door opening and shutting. “Where have you been?” my mom questioned as soon as I walked in, with pursed lips and a sour look on her face. “You left your cell phone at home. We tried mindlinking you and couldn’t get through. I hope you weren’t going outside the territory alone.” “I know about Katie and Tyler,” I simply replied, narrowing my eyes at both of them. My mom gasped and I turned to the stairs, having no desire to elaborate on or discuss my day. I wal

JASMINE Thanksgiving was at my grandparents’ house. I skipped out and stayed in bed, knowing I couldn’t possibly handle another social situation. My dad brought leftovers into my room. I picked at them, barely touching them. I called in sick for both my shifts that week, skipping out on work Saturday. After being the type of person who never called out, I realized I was becoming one flaky employee now. I could add that to my list of things I went from perfect at to bad at. I couldn’t even be bothered to do any schoolwork. I realized I didn’t even care what grades I got anymore. I was completely pathetic. I had no more motivation for anything in life. Maybe I could just decay in my bed slowly over several months until I was dead and didn’t have to suffer anymore. Early in the morning, on Sunday, when it was still dark outside, my dad came into my room and sat down on my bed. He put his hand on my back, gently shaking me awake, and said, “There’s someone here to see you. But I think y

JASMINE I spent the morning skiing with Blake and his friends. Blake stayed with me the whole time, staying close by me as we went down the mountain and sharing the chairlift with me. As we were sitting together, being lifted up one of the mountains, Blake leaned over and asked, “How are you feeling, Jasmine? I’ve been worried. You never responded to any of my texts.” I looked down. “Sorry, I just didn’t have the energy to reply.” “Well, you’re doing great skiing today.” He smiled. “Although not a big fan of those snow pants. The leggings were much better, definitely.” We broke for lunch. Blake deposited me at a table with the other girls while he and the guys went up to buy lunch. Brooke moved closer to me and said, “You’re definitely quieter than the others.” “The others?” I asked. “You know, the other girls he dated in the past. They’re usually much more obnoxious. You seem much nicer. Nice change of pace.” “Have you known Blake long?” I asked. “I’ve known him since kinderga

JASMINE Once everyone started going to bed, Blake led me to my room. He opened my door and said, “Have a good night, Jasmine. Thank you for coming here for my birthday.” Before he walked away, he kissed me on my forehead and turned to head up a set of stairs. I glanced into my room, which seemed too dark and lonesome, and then up at him ascending the stairs slowly with a towel wrapped around his waist and his bare, muscular back on display. In a moment of spontaneity, I decided to follow him, wobbly on my legs. I grasped the handrail, and as I took my first step, the towel that was wrapped around me dropped. I wasn't sure if it was the soft sound the towel made as it hit the wood floor or the pad of my foot touching the first step, but he turned around and glanced down at me. “Be careful.” He rushed back down the stairs. “I want to see your room,” I said, fluttering my lashes in what I hoped was a seductive way, even in my drunken state. “Well, okay then,” he said. He effortlessly

JASMINE I awoke the next morning to the sound of an alarm, my throat and mouth dry. I heard a male groan next to me and felt movement on the mattress. I could smell Blake all around me. The memory of last night started to come back to me as I opened my eyes. I lifted the blanket I was under to realize that I was completely naked and so was Blake. My whole body turned red as he rolled over, pulling me against him. “Well, good morning, Miss Alpha,” he said, bringing his mouth to mine, kissing me. “How’d you sleep?” “I’m pretty sure I remember the whole night. Can werewolves black out?” “It’s rarer than it is for humans, but it’s possible.” “We didn’t—” I started. “Have sex?” “Did we?” “No. But you definitely tried to seduce me.” He smirked at me. “Oh, Goddess!” I put my hands on my face, recalling what I had done. “You’re quite the seductress when you’ve been drinking. I mean, I can’t blame you. I’d want to jump my bones too. Now that you’re fully sober, I wouldn’t mind a round
Wolfbane Chapter 90
JASMINE I was relieved when Jack and Tyler approached me. Tyler asked, “Why don’t you sit with us for lunch today? I’ve been here with you for two days and barely spoken with you.” I agreed and the two of them went up to buy lunch while I saved a table and waited for them to return. They came back and sat across from me. Blake followed right after them and sat down next to me. Jack and Tyler both looked at him. Finally, Tyler asked, “Is Blake your boyfriend, Jasmine?” “No,” I replied, feeling insecure and weird having to answer in front of Blake. “He’s just a friend.” “Good-looking friend.” Jack winked. “I used to have the biggest crush on him growing up.” “I don’t blame you.” Tyler chuckled. “I’m almost jealous of Jasmine for being the sister.” I looked at Blake and he kept a straight face, not saying anything. “He’s grumpy sometimes.” Jack snickered. “Actually, most of the time.” “I can see that. I could work with that. Sulky yet sexy.” Tyler laughed. “Lots of passionate, ang
