Damon’s POV ‘Dimitri?’ I turned back to Zek, who gave me a slight smile and a shoulder shrug. I followed Marco right away. He knew someone was following him, but he didn’t care because there were also a lot of students walking on the other side of the hallway. Dimitri was about to hold Marco when I suddenly moved out of the way. Dimitri turned to me, smiled, saluted me, and quickly left. “Damon?” Marco asked, frowning. “I didn’t notice you. Are you following me?” I didn’t answer, but instead, I just smiled. ---- Jasper’s POV I held my head. Our class goes on, but I don’t understand anything. I’m sweating cold, though - and I feel hot. “Dude, are you okay?” “Jasper? You’re looking red. Are you okay?” I heard the girl next to me asking. “I’m fine,” I said while calming down. “Are you sure? You don’t seem okay.” “I said I’m fine,” I said, annoyed, and then I got up and left the classroom. I heard the prof call, but I ignored it. I went straight to the bathroom and breathed d
Damon’s POV “Damon.” I tried to hold Ady, but I saw that she was slightly trying to move away from me, so I stopped holding her and just put my hand in my pocket. “How are you, Ady? I’m glad you’re not hurt?” I asked. Ady nodded. “Yeah, Jasper came and saved me, even though he was burning with fever.” “Is Jasper sick?” “Damon, do you know who was trying to hurt me?” Ady said. “He told me and insisted that I’m important to you and the easiest way for him to find out what he should see.” I was speechless for a few seconds. I know who it is, but I still need to know what happened earlier. “Tell me what happened, and I’ll find out who attacked you. I’ll make sure he pays for what he did.” ---- While Ady and I were sitting on a bench near the football field, she told me what had happened, which confirmed what I had thought. My palm tightened. “So the man in the hood is Dimitri? Your cousin?” Ady asked me. I nodded. “Marco was with him earlier, and I watched over Marco. It didn’t
Daniel’s POV “I know it is your fault.” I look at Jasper. We each sat on a different chair in the living room while Grandma and Ady were in the kitchen. I wanted to tell Jasper about what happened, but he got ahead. He knows what happened, but I don’t know how. “You were the reason Ady almost fell off the roof deck the first time, and now it’s your fault again,” Jasper said. I scowled. Jasper smirked, then his face turned serious. “This will be the last time you will hurt the woman I love,” Jasper said. “How can you be sure it’s me...” “Don’t deny it,” Jasper said. He asked, “Can I ask you for a favor?” but I didn’t answer, so he continued with what he was saying. “Stay away from Ady, and stay away from my girlfriend. Maybe the next time she gets hurt, and you’re to blame, I won’t be able to stop myself. I could kill you.” “Are you making threats against me?” I asked. “Why? Are you threatening me?” I asked. “Why should I be?” “It’s an alert,” Jasper said. “Don’t go near her.
Ady’s POV 'Why did Jasper react that way? Did I turn him off? Have I been too clingy?’ After Jasper asked me out of their house, I never saw or talked to him again. We have yet to meet or speak, and it’s been almost a week. I took a deep breath and then entered the restroom. I commuted to school again without Jasper. Since that night, I have been unable to concentrate on my studies. I don’t know what I did to make him suddenly stop seeing or talking to me. "Really?" It shocked me to hear the students’ voices in the ladies’ room. "I don’t know. I’ve been overthinking lately. I thought we were fine, but he stopped talking or dating me. My boyfriend left me hanging and waiting, and I don’t know why." "Perhaps you did something?" "That’s it, girl. I don’t know if I did something or not." I heard the woman crying. "Maybe he is with someone else, so he is ghosting me." I scowled. ‘Ghosting? What’s that?’ "It’s possible, but talk to him because maybe there’s another reason..." At t
Ady’s POV “Uncle, it’s good to see you.” I sprinted down the stairs. I wasn’t expecting to see Jasper’s father, Uncle Aman, at our house. I was already dressed for school, so seeing Uncle Aman was a big surprise. I ran up to him and hugged him. “Uncle, when did you get here?” I asked. My gaze drifted toward the window. “Is Jasper with you?” Uncle Aman had my hand. “I heard that you are my Jasper’s girlfriend,” he said with a smile. Suddenly, my face turned red, and I gave a slight nod. “I’m glad my son dares to confess to you. Thank you for accepting his love.” Uncle Aman said. “Amann, where is Jasper?” Granny asked. “How is he?” Uncle smiled. “I can’t say he’s fine because the truth is that he’s not.” Granny and I exchanged looks. “Why? What happened? Where is he? What hospital did you bring him to?” “Granny, he’s not in the hospital because he doesn’t need to be taken there,” said the uncle. He glanced at me. “I think you could help Jasper, Ady.” I frowned. “How can I help
Ady’s POV “J-Jasper?” Just like the wolves after me, Jasper changed into a wolf—his snow-like fur sparkles in the sunlight. The three wolves chasing me are gray, cream, and brown. They can be heard growling at each other. The brown wolf attacked and quickly grabbed the white wolf, but the white wolf immediately attacked. I was shocked to see creatures I usually only see in movies. The nervousness I’m feeling will get worse. The others did not try to stop the fight between the two wolves. When we saw one of the wolves, my body stiffened. Its eyes are red, and he seems to be the group’s leader. When I saw it walking toward me, my breathing got deeper, and I didn’t take my eyes off it even though tears were falling. ‘What? Please move. I don’t want to die...’ I thought. No matter what I do, I cannot move my legs. I could feel them shaking with fear. ‘Is it the end for me?’ I thought. As the creature came closer, I saw a flashback again. That was the night before we had the accident
Ady's POV"W-wow, I-I'm shocked, Auntie. I didn't think Jasper would be so, um, unique.""Yeah, Ady." said uncle Aman. "I'm sorry if I took advantage of you, but Jasper can't shift without you."I looked at Uncle Aman. I was a little annoyed with him because he left me in the woods, where big wolves showed up out of nowhere."I know you were mad at me, Ady, but I hope you forgive me.""Yes, you're right, I was mad, and I thought it was my end. You just left me in the woods." I said."I expected Jasper to come, and I wasn't wrong. You also helped him shift."I nodded. "Why does Jasper need to shift? From the book I read, he needs a full moon before he can shift..."Uncle Aman said, "Jasper isn't like the others.""You mean what?"Uncle Aman smiled instead of answering. Auntie had my hand."I hope what you saw will stay a secret, Ady. This is not only for Jasper's protection but also for yours."I nodded. I was suddenly thinking about Damon. If Jasper is also a werewolf, why doesn't he
Ady's POVJasper cupped both of my cheeks, then slowly moved his face closer to mine until our lips touched. Damn, I miss him so much. I could feel the warmth on my face. I never thought I'd admit that I miss this man. His warm hand felt like a tickle running through every nerve in my body. His hands felt so good. I could hear my heartbeat as his kiss got deeper. I heard the rhythm of his footsteps, which my feet mimicked as I felt the edge of his bed. I got worried because something might happen if I didn't stop Jasper. I know exactly what it is, but my body has betrayed me. My brain is telling me no, and that makes no sense. My body shook so much that I couldn't understand. It could be because my body doesn't do what my mind tells it to do.I had just felt the soft bed on my back. I grabbed Jasper's chest and forced myself to push him against me. Jasper sensed what I did, so he pulled his lips away from mine."J-Jasper..."Jasper looked at my hand, and then he held it. "You are trem
