A week later,
"Have some rest, Anita." Jazmine pulled the duvet to cover her up.
It had been a week since the court hearing. Anita was discharged from the hospital and recuperated in the pack mansion. Jazmine knew that inside, Anita was grateful for the decision of the courthouse despite it still wasn't the happiest news she had received. But, Mira fought for her just as much as Luna fought for a fair justice system.
# Trial
Jahan collected all the documents from the seven Councilors, and he was looking through them one by one—make sure everything was in order.
"3 Councilors are in favor of the punishment," he revealed, putting the three documents to his right. "3 Councilors are not in fav
"I'm immortal, Liam," Jazmine blurted the words right out just after Liam finished his shower in the morning.She had been gathering the courage to talk to him about it. But every time she wanted to talk about it, she couldn't say a word. She wanted to grow closer to Liam, loving him the way he loved her. But the miscommunication slowly caused a rift between them.Liam stood there, repeatedly blinking while trying to dry his dripping wet hair. The rift in the relationship wasn't that visible for everyone else to see, but it was visible for both of them."How are you taking it? That I'm immortal?" Jazmine asked, looking at him.They slept on the same bed. They grew accustomed to each other's presence, but the relationship had yet to move to the next b
# Jazmine's memory"Are you sure this is what you wanted?" Mira asked her.They visited Stefano together despite the latter being busy handling his Council and the berserk werewolves that slowly made their recovery. Still, they would never be able to live a normal life like before."Liam is all I ever wanted, and you know that," Jazmine replied. "One day, old age will consume him, and I'll have to live on without him. I don't want that.""You know there's a price to pay," Stefano said. "You have to lose your power in return for giving up your immortality. It means you will give up for Godly traits to be a normal mortal being.""I can live without having any power," Jaz
Five years ago, Liam Blake sat on his Harley Davidson bike in front of the motel, thinking hard. As he remembered that he hadn’t seen his sister, Anita, for a while, he figured out he wanted to spend some time with her before she went to college. Anita attended a boarding school right after her tenth birthday. She made it clear that she much preferred surrounding herself with the humans and wanted to live as normal as possible. Even though their parents disagreed with her, Liam persuaded them that it would be best to let her live the life she wanted. Eight years later, Anita continued to stay around humans. Unlike Liam, Anita didn’t have any duty obligation other than following the rules and laws in the pack. To the new pack members, they wouldn’t know Anita at all. They would have thought Liam was the only child in the Blake family.
Present Time, Liam sat there, looking at the wedding photo of Cohen and Mira hung on the office wall. His right hand supported his head as he turned his attention to another photo placed on top of the fireplace in the office. It was a photo of Mira in her seventh month of pregnancy. Now, the redheaded Luna was waiting for the due of her pregnancy which was expected in three weeks. It was the time Cohen had his happy ending. While everyone was happy for the Alpha’s couple, Liam’s story was no different. Everyone was expecting him to have a mate of his own as well. The same topic that plagued Cohen like an incurable illness now the same thing plaguing Liam. Now, it was Liam’s turn to avoid gatherings because he didn’t want to answer anything whenever someone mentioned a mate. Now, he understood his Alpha's pressure
Jazmine grabbed her work file and bag from her bed. She checked her appearance for a few seconds in the mirror before heading out of her bedroom. She walked down the stairs of the two-floor penthouse that she lived with Anita. The two of them had been living together since boarding school time. Jazmine walked down the staircase just to come upon Anita and her longtime boyfriend, River Clooney, who took a job in a law firm and was pretty successful. Anita worked as a model since the second year of college and pursued it professionally despite having graduated as a business student. She had covered several major magazines and was doing good at it. “You’re early today,” Jazmine said as she went to the coffee machine to brew a cup of coffee. “I’m leaving today for a business trip,” River told her as he sat down.
Jazmine's eyes couldn't stop looking at the photos on the screen of her computer. Her mind went wild. Then, the photo of Liam with a pregnant woman crushed her to the end. Her hands clenched and unclenched numerous times. Jazmine wanted to control her emotions, but she couldn’t. “Five years, Jaz. It has been five years. Of course, he’s married. Look, he’s happy and everything,” Jazmine said to herself to convince herself that everything was okay. Granted, she only met Liam once, but from that one meeting, many things happened to her. She didn’t dare to tell Anita anything about it. Looking at the photo like now, Jazmine realized she was nothing compared to Liam's wife. That woman—she was gorgeous. Jazmine slapped her own forehead. How could she still feel something f
Three hours flight and one hour sitting inside a taxi heading to Silver Light Pack, led by Cohen’s cousin, Janet Reese. But, Liam didn’t let the taxi take him straight into Silver Light’s territory. Instead, it stopped in a small town forty minutes away from the pack’s main territory. He walked along the empty road heading to the main territory, where he spotted a group of patrolling Enforcers. “Liam Blake, it’s been a while,” someone greeted him at the border. “Ashton, you’re looking good,” Liam replied. Ashton Mayer was the pack’s Beta. Liam used to train Ashton back in Cohen’s pack. Silver Light Pack was established ten years ago by several members of Cohen’s pack. They left Cohen’s pack because their mates were from a different pack. Not wanting their mates’ Alpha on bad terms with Cohen, they decided to make
When they arrived at the restaurant, Jazmine should have expected it to turn out this way. It was the fanciest and expensive restaurant in the town. She almost cursed to herself for agreeing to Jay’s dinner invitation. Their dinner was served a few minutes after ordering. Jay ordered most of the stuff. Jazmine didn’t bother about it because, for sure, he knew more than her. Jazmine sat there as Jay began to talk about his life, accomplishments, and family. He came from a wealthy family, of course. Everyone in the company knew how wealthy Bernard’s family was. His father, Gale, was a former state senator and a very successful businessman who owned hotels and resorts. Natalie Bernard, Jay’s mother, was a CEO of a multi-billion corporation. She inherited it from her father after he had passed away. As the only child in the family, she became a billionaire overnight with all the wealth. The association betwee
