Elizabeth Summers POV
“Oh look, it’s the mutt.” Nico Vale, the future beta of our pack shouted as I walked into the parking lot behind the sports centre.
So much for keeping a low profile today. How was it that they always seemed to find me? I thought that by coming into college via the back entrance I would be able to avoid them. I should have known I wouldn’t be that lucky. It almost felt as though the harder I tried to hide from them the quicker they got to me. I made a mental note to check my belongings for tracking devices when I got home this afternoon.
I put my head down and kept walking towards the nearest building. Maybe if I could make it to the door before they reached me they would lose interest and just leave me alone. I started to walk faster, I was only a few metres from the door, and all I needed was a few more seconds.
I was almost at jogging pace when I felt someone’s hand on my arm and was jerked back so roughly that I almost fell over backwards. Before I could fully regain my footing I was spun around so I was standing face to face with Jasper Hartford.
Well, I say face to face, it would be more accurate to say face to chest. Jasper was easily 6ft5 whereas I was barely 5ft2. This only made him even more terrifying. He was much larger than me, much stronger than me and he absolutely despised me for no discernible reason.
“How dare you walk away when your betters are talking to you?” Jasper shouted, leaning down so that he could get right in front of my face.
“Sorry Alpha,” I replied trying my best not to meet his gaze.
I am the Omega daughter of two Omega parents. It isn’t in my nature to look an Alpha wolf directly in the eyes. Even if I had been living in the same house as the Alpha family ever since I was about five years old.
I don’t remember much about my real parents. I have been told that they were both Omegas and that my mother was pregnant with her third child, something that was strictly forbidden for Omegas in our pack. From what I understand, that third child was a boy so they decided to give me up as I was their only female child.
The pack’s Alpha and Luna heard about my situation and decided to take me in and raise me alongside their own children. They already had two sons but they wanted another child. They had been trying for the last three years but Luna Hartford couldn’t seem to get pregnant. When I needed a family to take me in, they said it was destiny. I wasn’t sure if I believed in such things but I was happy to have a family who cared for me.
I spent a long time being angry and upset at my biological parents for giving me up. Ultimately though I can understand their position. A male Omega has much better prospects of losing the Omega label so they can earn money and provide for their family. There are only a few roles that a female Omega can have within our pack. None of those roles are paid in cash but the most respected of those roles are serving ranked pack members, either in their homes or in their beds.
“Look at me when I talk to you Lizzy,” Jasper growled. He grabbed my chin roughly and turned my face so I was looking him directly in the eyes.
“Sorry,” I mumbled. I held his gaze even though every instinct I had screamed at me to look away. It was the first time I had dared to look at Jasper so closely. He was breathtakingly handsome, it was just a shame that his beauty was only skin deep.
“Good girl. Now tell me why you are dressed like this?” Jasper’s face was mere centimetres away from mine as he spoke and I could feel his hot breath on my face.
“This is just my normal college outfit.” I was trying my best to remain calm, I didn’t want him to know how much he scared me.
“So you usually come to college dressed as a whore.” He shouted.
I was speechless. I didn’t believe in shaming a woman for what she was wearing but even if I did my outfit did nothing to warrant that title. I was wearing a pair of dark skinny jeans and a black v-neck T-shirt which didn’t even show any cleavage. Not that I had a lot to show off in that department.
“Answer me now Lizzy,” Jasper growled.
“It is just jeans and a T-shirt Alpha.”
“It shows off every single curve of your body. In the future, you will cover up more. Is that clear?” Jasper growled.
“Yes, Alpha.” I didn’t want to risk angering him further by prolonging this conversation. It was usually better if I just gave him the answers he wanted and let him leave.
“Good girl.” He purred before letting go of me. I froze on the spot for a brief moment. I was too scared to move in case he had more to say. If there was one thing Jasper didn’t like it was me walking away before he had finished berating me, it undermined his authority.
When it was clear that he was finished with me I started backing away. I took a few slow steps back before turning and fleeing as fast as my legs would carry me. I knew that it was weak of me, I knew I should be braver, but Jasper is so strong and I am just an Omega. If he ever hit me he could put me in the hospital for weeks and I didn’t want to risk that.
Elizabeth SummersThere was still some time before class was due to start so I cut across campus towards the art studios. It was my and my friend’s favourite place to hang out. I wasn’t friends with anyone my age from the pack. Everyone in the pack knew that the future Alpha hated me and as none of them wanted to get on his bad side they stayed away from me. None of them bullied me like Jasper and Nico, they just pretended that I didn’t exist.All of my friends were humans from the smaller human town which was about ten kilometres away from our pack’s border. That was fine by me, I love my friends. We have even made plans to move in together once we have completed this academic year. Providing that Jasper didn’t prevent me from leaving after he takes over as Alpha, I will be out of the pack in less than a year. Hopefully permanently.I breathed a sigh of relief as I entered the art studio. My friends were already there. Mia was painting a picture on an easel in the centre of the room w
Jasper Hartford She walked into the room and my pulse quickened. She was talking to her friend, laughing at some joke. I would give anything for her to laugh at my jokes like that, literally anything. She took her seat in front of me without even looking in my direction. She flicked her long auburn hair over her shoulder, wafting her scent in my direction. I could smell the coconut shampoo she always uses and the slightest hint of sweat on her skin. Even the scent of her was enough to send me wild with desire, it made me want to run my tongue along her skin. I wanted to taste every inch of her until she begged for my cock, and then I wanted to make love to her until she fell apart in my arms. But she was the only person I couldn’t have, my parents saw to that when they let her stay with us. I have loved Lizzy for the last three years. I have tried everything I can think of to get her out of my mind but nothing seems to work. At first, I tried to ignore my feelings for her in the ho
Elizabeth Summers Jasper had his hand around Patti’s throat, I could see the fear in her eyes as she struggled to catch her breath. She was scratching at his hands trying to get her freedom but it was a futile attempt. He was a werewolf, he was much stronger than her. He probably couldn’t even feel her dull human nails as they scratched at his skin. “She will do exactly what I tell her to do, whether she likes it or not.” His voice was harsh, I could feel the venom and hate behind his words. His hatred for me was so clear but I still don’t understand where this hatred was coming from or why he was taking his hatred of me out on my friend. I wanted to help my friend, he was going to kill her if I didn’t stop him, but I couldn’t move. Even though he didn’t have his wolf yet, his Alpha aura was enough to keep me frozen in place. He was going to kill my friend while I was standing within arms reach of her and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I could feel myself whimpering and cr
Jasper Hartford I had been looking for Lizzy all afternoon. She had skipped classes, but she never normally skipped classes so I was naturally worried about her. I knew I had upset her and her friend and I wanted to apologise to her even though, I wasn’t sure exactly how to go about it. I couldn’t find any trace of her scent anywhere on campus so I had come home hoping she would be there. When I couldn’t find any trace of her at home, I started to panic. She was never late home, if anything bad had happened to her it would be all my fault. I needed to get some air and clear my head so I was planning to go on a walk but once I stepped outside I could hear a car approaching. Lizzy couldn’t drive but I hoped that one of her friends had brought her home. I watched the car pull into our driveway and that’s when I saw him. She was in a car alone with that male human she hung around with. I had seen the way he looked at her, I would have to be blind not to. He was constantly watching her
Jasper Hartford “Where is Lizzy?” I asked as I walked into the dining room for dinner the following evening. I hadn’t seen Lizzy since her accident and I had done nothing but worry about her for the last 24 hours. My mom had kept her out of school to make sure that she was fully recovered but part of me wondered if that was just a ploy to keep her away from me. I felt like I was dying without her. She was all I could think about and it felt as though there was a knife in my heart not knowing where she was or how she was feeling. The whole time I was at college she never left my mind once. Now I was sitting at the dining table with the rest of my family but Lizzy was nowhere in sight. That only made me worry more, she never missed a family meal and she was never late to anything. “She will be here in a moment” My mom replied. “Good.” I breathed a sigh of relief. I started to fill my plate with the food on the table in front of me only to be distracted a few minutes later when Lizzy
Elizabeth Summers When I woke up this morning my room smelled faintly of Jasper. It was almost as though he had been in my room watching me while I was sleeping but that couldn’t be true. I had to be imagining it, at least that is what I tried to convince myself of as I got dressed for college. After all, the alternative was just strange. What possible reason would Jasper have to be in my room? I didn’t have anything that he could want unless he wanted to see me and he usually only wanted to do that so he could bully me. No, I must have been imagining it, he usually tried to stay as far away from me as possible when we were both at home. Come to think about it, he was uncharacteristically kind to me last night, maybe he felt guilty about the fact that he almost killed me. I heard some of the Omega’s talking yesterday, they said that Jasper and his dad had an argument after what happened to me the other day. Maybe I am being overly optimistic by making conclusions after one day but i
Jasper Hartford My lips were only a few centimetres away from Lizzy’s. They looked so warm and inviting, slightly parted as though she was waiting for me to claim them. I could feel her breath on my skin, causing my whole body to respond as I longed for her touch. I desperately wanted to push her against the wall and make her scream my name in pleasure. “Jasper, what are you doing?” “Kissing you.” I crossed the remaining space between us and closed my eyes as I brought my lips towards hers. I waited for the moment our lips made contact but that moment never came. When I opened my eyes again I realised that Lizzy was no longer standing directly in front of me, she had taken a couple of steps back. Why would she back away from me like that? The way she was looking at me and the way she whispered my name made it feel like she wanted me just as much as I wanted her, so why would she back away? ‘Maybe she is shy, maybe you should take things a bit more slowly.’ Garnet suggested. I igno
Elizabeth Summers I had been sitting on the sofa at home for the last half an hour waiting for Oliver to pick me up. I had been avoiding him ever since this morning, in fact, I had been avoiding everyone since this morning. I didn’t want to have to deal with any of them. Oliver with his stupid ideas about our relationship, my other friends trying to push us together, and Jasper with his mind-boggling behaviour over the last few days. I had considered more than once messaging Oliver to cancel whatever tonight was. Then I could spend the whole night locked in my room instead, pretending that the world around me hadn’t suddenly turned itself upside down. Unfortunately, my Omega side wouldn’t let me do that, the thought of letting Oliver down made me feel so bad that I thought I might throw up. That meant I was left with no option other than to go on this stupid fake date with Oliver. “Are you OK dear? You have been distracted all afternoon.” Jasper’s mom asked. “It is nothing.” “No o
