JasperI pulled a chair from the terrace beneath the large tree just beside the house. I needed to clear my head after today's drama at Lisa's colony. I just had a good swim in the pool but I needed some fresh air on this side of the house. A kid ran in my direction. "Hey, Jasper.""Ethan, hey." He gave me a high five. "Being a while. What have they been feeding you?" I hugged him. He's all grown now. When he left he was ten but now he looked bigger than a twelve-year-old. He laughed. "Good to see you, Jasper. I missed you.""I missed you too," I said. He was my favourite kid, I liked him so much. Whenever Katherine was coming over to my house, she brought him along. That's how we got so close. Even after what his sister did and her death, my affection for Ethan remained. "How are your parents?""They are fine. I have tried visiting you several times but Josh stops me." His shoulder quaked. "He said he would punish me if he ever saw me with you.""Don't worry about that. Let me give

Gwen Jasper would kill me for being sloppy.I walked as fast as my leg could carry me. I start to run but my belly hurt. I had to slow down. The medications I had taken must have worn out and I was too distracted right now to think of them. I increased my pace again. When my house came into view, I stopped in my tracks and immediately turned backwards. I ran in the opposite direction hiding behind a tree. I hope he didn't see me. Jasper was on his phone. The hair on my nape and arms lifts. Why was he in my house? And he didn't even call me? I watched him put his phone away in his pocket and walk on the route that would lead him home. Perhaps he's found out! This is not good. I tried to breathe but found no breath. This is a pure hot mess. I just messed myself up. Thanks to my carelessness, my life just got worse. I remained behind the tree, hitting my forehead on its bark repeatedly."You would ruin your pretty face at this rate." Although not in the mood for pleasantries, I ha

Jasper Josh didn't look apologetic. He smiled. "What motive? Everyone knows you don't care about her, even though she's your mate." He tapped his feet. "So why the heck are you angry I kissed her."I was going to make sure I tear him limb by limb. What audacity! I gently pushed Gwen. "Get into the house."She hesitated, staring at me like she'd never seen me before. "Now!" I ordered, pointing towards the door. She rushed in. I couldn't help but gaze at her luscious curls cascading down her back. I need to focus. "Is that what you and all other fucking people think? That I don't care about her. So you decided to kiss her on my behalf or what? You must be insane.""She might be weak and wolfless but she's in no way unattractive. I've known this fact for a long time," he said. "I've always liked her. Who knows? I would've made a move before you ruined our lives two years ago." He crossed his arms. "I wouldn't mind if you gave her up. You used to be her bully, remember."Such guts. His

Jasper I couldn't control myself. The image of Josh and Gwen kissing kept replaying in my head. Staying in my room was boring. I came down to watch TV but watching a movie didn't do it for me.I was restless. The first knock on the door alerted me. I didn't wait for the second one. I knew she was here. Only a girl would knock that softly. While I accused her of enjoying Josh's kiss, I spoke slowly despite being furious, not wanting to wake the whole household. My parents were already asleep. My reaction gets Gwen infuriated. She's beautiful even while mad. Her anger revealed this mysterious and feisty side of her. My wolf loved it. I have never seen her get so tensed, angry, and blab so much in one go. I stared at her luscious lips. Why haven't I noticed Gwen all these years? I felt stupid for joining the other kids to pick on her while growing up. I called her names. We disregarded her when it came to any of the games we played as kids. She kept on venting her anger on me. She

Jasper The blaring sound made everyone in our class halt for a moment. The males knew what it meant. As a male in any of the four colonies, it was expected that you were a natural-born warrior. For a male werewolf, there was no room for weakness. A female werewolf may be weak because she has her mate to protect her. We understood this was a warning sound, the first of its kind since we came into this school. It meant there was an enemy or threat within the territory. Everyone began to murmur about the possible reasons the warning alarm would go off, but they all stopped when Mrs Carter broadcast an announcement over the microphone. As I was escorting Gwen yesterday, the scent I picked was of one feral. It was on my way home to inform my father that I picked another scent, then another. There were three. One feral was bad enough. But three? That called for a disaster. After I alerted my father. We agreed we weren't going to unnecessarily panic anyone. So he called the other three
