Jasper Hartford’s POV I had been suspicious of the black vehicle following us ever since I first noticed it, shortly after leaving the forest. It looked like one of the cars that my father would give to people who worked for him so I was sure it would be one of the pack’s warriors. That was until it continued to follow us for the next half an hour without trying to stop us or being joined by vehicles. If it was one of the pack’s warriors then they wouldn’t have let us get this far from the pack. “Someone is following us.” I said. Lizzy glanced in the mirror, I had no doubt that she recognised the vehicle just as I did because concern crept over her face. “What are we going to do? Can we lose them?” She asked. “I don’t think so,” I replied. I could try speeding but they would only increase their speed too. If they had been instructed to follow us then they wouldn’t let us out of their sight. Trying to outrun them was only going to endanger Lizzy’s life, I couldn’t do that when
Elizabeth Summers’ POVWe had only been at our new pack for a few days but it was already clear that it was going to take a lot of work to get this town back to its former glory. The town had been abandoned over ten years ago and a lot of the buildings were well on their way to falling down. I didn’t care about that though, this place already felt more like home than my old pack ever had. There was nobody telling me that my omega parents made me inferior to other werewolves. Everyone here respected each other and worked together. I would take that over the alternative any day. There was no denying that it was hard work though. There was so much physical work required to get the buildings fixed and then there was everything else that needed to be done. Our pack members needed to find paid employment and I had to spend countless hours forming alliances with the surrounding packs. It was exhausting. “What are you doing in here, baby?” Jasper asked. “I’m making you dinner.” He had bee
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 f
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
