CHAPTER 11The time till the close of work felt different for Jasmine and Jason. They both had a lot on their mind but somehow felt differently about how the day progressed. They were so close to each other yet it felt like they were in different worlds. Jasmine thought the time was exceedingly slow, she could not just wait to get off this extremely boring work and have a good night's rest. Her only interest here was Jason and when she wasn't with him, the job felt pointless. Plus she had a few less interesting freelance writing she was doing to keep herself busy. They were not as fun as the case she was currently working tooth and nail for, but at least she was able to write, which was all she ever wanted to do. Jason on the other hand felt like time was moving too fast. If he could stop the hands of time right now he would do it. He wondered why werewolves didn't have such powers, it was a ludicrous thought of course, but at moments like this, his mind just wanders. He could not

CHAPTER 13You could feel the tension in the big sitting room, it was choking. As soon as Jason left the entrance of the door toward mama Helen, all heads bowed down, their inner werewolf moved them into submission. It did not matter how long they had seen each other. He was their Alpha and their inner wolf craved to show him the utmost respect whenever he was in their presence. Only mama Helen could look him in the eye when he didn't signal for her to. She was like a mother to him, but even her body language and the way she comported herself showed she was not immune to this Alpha pull to submission. Her embrace was soothing and warm, a far cry from how vulnerable he felt with Jasmine a while ago. However, he could not be anything but strong here with his pack. With Jasmine he could feel things he normally wouldn't feel, he could be more himself without the need for excess show of masculinity. "How have you been , mama?" He asked her. He often called her mama because she felt li

CHAPTER 15They drove first to her apartment so she could change into something more "dinner worthy." He thought she looked perfect just the way she was, but she insisted that she had to wear something more befitting. It took an hour for her to get ready, but to Jason it was a win-win situation; he got to see what the inside of her apartment looked like. "You know it's kind of weird that I get to see your apartment first before our dinner, usually it's the other way around," he noted, looking around the room. "I guess we're not exactly the ideal partners either," she said, trying to put a word to what they were. "Partners?" He chuckled while asking."I don't know….. what exactly are we Jason?" She asked him. "We can say we're a couple, you already know how I feel about you," he said gently. "Yeah, but like… it's not really official yet, I'd prefer if we take things slow….plus you've not really asked me to be your girlfriend," she rambled on, trying to look for any excuse. "We

CHAPTER 17He had never seen her like this, hands trembling, eyes fixed on the dark road, lips quivering. He cursed under his breath. He held her hand steady while he firmly held the steering wheel of the car with his other hand. He could feel her succumb to his touch but it wasn't enough."No one is going to hurt you Jasmine, not while I'm here," he reassured her. She wanted to believe him, but it was not so easy to forget the extremely dark eyes and gnarly wide teeth that not so long ago threatened her. She couldn't make out the features so well, but the fear she felt was real, she knew the person standing in front of her wanted her dead, she could see it in those dead black eyes and the wicked grin. She just didn't know why? One thing was clear though; Jason knew more than he was letting on. "You weren't there Jason, you didn't see what I saw," she stated. "What exactly did you see?" "I…. It was so…so dark… I don't know…." "It's alright, you don't have to say anything, you

CHAPTER 19He signaled for the pack to be at ease, they were free to speak as soon as he gave the signal, still he felt he needed to say something first, to set the momentum. "I'm sure you have all seen the warning," he uttered, studying every member of his pack. "This is werewolf blood Alpha Jason, it's not just any blood," Conan spoke up. "Yes Alpha Conan, and that worries me even more," he expressed. Conan was the Alpha of Boris's pack, the Blood Moon pack. The bond between the two packs ran deep, even before Jason was born. They shared a lot of things in common and among that was a common enemy: Sebastian. They fought side by side during the last war, they bought lost pack members very dear to them and knew they were going to be together once more to put an end to what started 13 years ago. "Can you trace the blood Melvin?" Jason asked the young werewolf. "I've tried, but whoever is behind this definitely covered the scent very well," he replied. Melvin was the most sensiti
