Ouch! Talk about cold, do you hate Jasper or do you hate him? Drop me a review if you hate him for hurting Sophia ~Love Author Kajal
“We have decided that it would be best if Jasper remains close by while we figure out the reason for these visions and dreams you are having. He has taken up temporary residence in the main pack house.” Alpha Allison’s explanation came as more of a surprise to me than seeing him outside the infirmary, but when I made no acknowledgement her face grew worried, “Is everything okay, Sophia? You have been really quiet since yesterday afternoon?” Memories of our encounter in the forest replayed in my head and my heart squeezed painfully, that seemed to be all it did these days. “I’m fine, I was just tired.” I lied, plastering a smile on my face to reassure her and though her eyebrows knitted she returned my smile. “We’ll get to the bottom of this, Sophia. I promise.” She laid a hand on my shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze, the concern on her face made me feel bad for lying to her. “Good morning Jasper, I’d like you to meet Sophia Hastings, I’m sure you remember her from yesterday
“This is the secondary pack house which was actually built for the Full Moon pack after the rogue attack devastated their old one before Alpha Allison and Alpha Devin got married.” I rambled despite knowing he wasn’t the least bit interested, being around him made me nervous. That and I simply needed something to keep my focus on so my eyes wouldn’t stray to his tanned muscles bulging under the Californian sun. “That’s enough!” Jasper threw his hands in the air, finally growing fed up with my ranting which made me sigh in relief, “You’ve shown me the pack, I’m leaving now.” He didn’t wait for me to speak, instead, he took off into the trees and within seconds he was out of sight. “Great job, Sophia, not only do you annoy him, you nearly bored him to death too.” I berated myself, I didn’t know what I was thinking when I insisted he see the pack. I sighed in resignation. “Don’t blame yourself, he looked like a hardass.” The voice appeared suddenly, startling me which made the girl
“Mum, I’m going out, I’ll be back later,” I called to her wherever she was in the house. “Okay, be back in time for dinner, I’m making steak.” She responded and I couldn’t help but smile. Mum made the best steak. “And be careful!” She added and my smile widened. “I’ll be okay, Mum. See you later.” I chuckled softly and closed the door behind me. I hurried to the clearing, anxious to finish the sketch I was busy with. My attention was focused on the white page slowly turning grey when I heard rustling in the trees to my right. “The coast is clear,” I announced and from behind the bushes sprung a handsome boy. “How do you always hear me coming?” He whined, unhappy that he failed at yet another attempt at scaring me. “Your fat feet shake the ground when you walk.” I teased sticking out my tongue and his jaw dropped open in shock. “How dare you!” He advanced towards me at an inhumane speed and before I could react his hand were on my waist digging into my skin in a hilarious
“Here they are.” I placed a handful of sketches I’d torn from my sketchbook in the centre of the mahogany desk. “These are great, thanks, Sophia.” Alpha Devin spread the pictures out over the table and Alpha Allison chewed on the end of her pen. “Okay, this is the one of Dennis in the forest the night Devin found you.” She placed it at the top left corner of the table. “This looks like a cloud of dust, like when Jasper appeared.” We all stopped for a moment to look at him after Alpha Devin’s observation, but he remained standing upright with his arms crossed over his chest. “It’s a story for another day.” He brushed it off, clearly unhappy with the inquiry. “That’s number two.” Alpha Alison lined it up beside the previous one. “Do any of the scenes look familiar to either of you?” Alpha Allison bit her lip and looked between both of us and I hesitated for a second before pointing to an image. “This one, The day Jasper and I bumped into each other in the forest, his eyes lo
History class was practically empty when I took my seat and suddenly a voice called out to me. “Sophia! Hey, what happened to you yesterday, you just vanished and never came back. Is it because of what happened with that guy in the movie room? You really shouldn’t bother about that, everyone saw you trip.” Susie fired questions at me not giving me enough time to answer the first before asking the next. “Hey Susie, sorry I needed to get back to help Alpha Allison, I would have told you I was leaving, but you saw how graceful my exit was.” I chuckled, throwing in the tiny white lie to get her off my back. “It’s cool girl, we can hang out this afternoon if you’re free?” She suggested and I nodded, she seemed pretty cool. “Great, we’ll walk home together after school and you can tell me all about what’s going on with you and the flying hunk.” I nearly choked at her description of Jasper. “Flying hunk?” I gaped. “Didn’t you hear the whispers in the hallway this morning, he’s all th
“Keep going, you’re doing great, Sophia!” Cecile chanted as I brought my fists down harder and harder on the bag. After a month of being here, Alpha Allison insisted I start training again, it was something I enjoyed doing with my mum since I was old enough, but after she got really sick, it didn’t seem right, which unfortunately meant that I hadn’t trained since my first shift nor had I ever trained in wolf form. The latter was one I was still working on, shifting for the first time was the worst experience of my life, so bad that I passed out only minutes later and woke up naked in the forest. Since that day I have been afraid to shift and I can feel the strain it’s putting on my wolf, Selene, but no matter how much she pushes or retreats, I can’t seem to get over the feeling of my skin tearing and my bones breaking. “Okay, hands up, take a break,” Cecile called a break and I held the bag to stop. Sweat was dripping heavily from my body, handing me a towel and bottle Cecile gri
The night was dark, but the air was warm as we made our way through the forest. Both Alphas walked beside me, leading the way to the clearing they spoke of. I wasn’t sure how long we walked for when we finally broke through the treeline, in the distance I could see the silhouette of a willow tree lit up by the starlight and as we got closer, I made out a figure sitting beneath the tree. “The sketch.” Alpha Devin pointed out and we both nodded. “It’s Jasper.” Alpha Allison identified and I wondered how she knew since I still couldn’t pick up his scent in the wind. Jasper seemed to have sensed us because he turned to face us and stood quickly when he recognised us. “Alpha Devin, Alpha Allison, is everything okay?” He asked sternly, but his voice held a tinge of concern. “Everything is fine, Jasper. We didn’t realise you would be here.” Alpha Allison answered and Jasper took the silent hint to leave. “I apologise, I’ll leave.” He nodded and took a step to leave when my voice
“Why are you avoiding me?” I stood in the doorway of Alpha Devin’s office, blocking Jasper's exit. “Move, Sophia.” His eyes narrowed dangerously and no matter how inclined I was to back down, Selene pushed me to stand my ground. “Answer me and then I will.” I crossed my arms over my chest, giving him my most stubborn look. We were basically alone in the house since Ben was playing playstation with headphones on, Dominic was peacefully sleeping in his bedroom with the door shut and the baby monitor on and both Alphas had to rush off to tend to an emergency at the main packhouse. “I’m standing here aren’t I?” He skillfully avoided the question causing me to narrow my eyes. “Trying every means necessary to leave, yes.” I shot back snarkily. “What do you want from me, Sophia?” He sighed, his shoulders dropping along with his face. It was then that I noticed the bags under his eyes, and the weariness in his features, he looked exhausted. “Can we talk, please?” My tone was soft
