“You good?” I looked up at Jasper strangely, the baffled look on his face was hard to comprehend.   “Yeah, yeah, I’m fine.” He nodded and pursed his lips before huffing, “I’m surprised, baffled and a little suspicious.” He tilted his head, still looking forward to our path.    “Not gonna lie, I’m pretty confused by the turn of events myself. I was expecting a lot more hostility.” I shrugged.    “Do you know where his mate and daughters are staying, I’d like to meet them.” He asked.    “Yeah, it’s the pack guesthouse near Susie’s house, we can stop by there later, I think they need some rest after the trip and emotional rollercoaster they were thrown onto,” I suggested, pushing open the door to the Alp

The four of us stared at Nathan with wide eyes and jaws slackened. “What did you just say?” Jasper leaned forward, disbelief lacing his tone. “I think we should go somewhere a little more private,” Halle suggested, eyeing the curious passersby warily. “You can use my office in the pack house.” Alpha Allison nodded at me and shared a look with Marcel. Jasper and I walked ahead of Halle and Nathan in the wheelchair, neither saying a word, but both eager to hear what the hell was going on. Sure, we weren’t certain what our future held, but that was the last thing I would have thought of. Shutting the door behind them, Jasper turned to Nathan with his arms crossed over his chest and a frown set between his eyes. "Alright, now talk!" he ordered. "Take a seat, Jasper." Nathan tried, but my mate remained standing. "I'm fine, thanks," he responded impatiently. Nathan sighed and looked up at Jasper with serious eyes, "Do you know why Dad tried so hard to get you to train and take on re

“No! Who the hell does she think she is?” Elizabeth sneered at me and my eyes widened in alarm, her blaring voice carried across the crowded space, gaining the attention of practically every pack member within a two-kilometre radius.  “Elizabeth-” I started, but once again she cut me off.  “You’re just some nobody that turned out to be Jasper’s mate, you don’t mean anything to this pack and you never will. You have no right to tell me what to do.” She spat and I felt my blood boil.  Selene fought for control over my conscious mind, but I resisted, sucking in a calming breath.  “Too bad that isn’t your decision to make,” I sta

Nathan sat glued to his wheelchair with his hands clenched at his side while Jasper paced up and down the short corridor of the emergency wing of the pack infirmary. “What’s taking so long?” Jasper grumbled. “Okay, that’s enough, sit down!” I stood up, growing frustrated by his nervous pacing. “You’re stressing us all out by doing that, it’s not going to make them work any faster.” I scolded with a frown knitted between my brows. “Would you be sitting down if it were Ben in there?” he shot back and for a moment I was shocked, Jasper had been cold in the past, but the careless manner in which he spoke was new to me. “Sophia’s right. Your pacing is making me antsier.” Nathan mumbled, never taking his eyes off the swing doors they wheeled her through almost an hour ago. Jasper sighed, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say all that to you.” He grimaced and collapsed into the chair beside the one I was sitting in. Seeing the stress lines appearing on his forehead, I took a seat beside him

Jasper stood stiffly beside me as Nathan wheeled towards Daniel with the Alpha scroll in hand. Unrolling the scroll, Daniel looked at us pointedly, “Repeat after me and insert your name where applicable.” He cleared his throat, “I insert your name.” “I, Jasper Atwater,” “I, Sophia Hastings,” we chorused. “Accept the position and title of Alpha or Luna of the High Tide pack with the utmost honour and respect for my land and my pack members.” He completed the sacred oath and we repeated it after him. “I promise to uphold the values of the High Tide pack, to honour the sacred oath and always put the needs of my pack above all,” Jasper added. “I promise to support and protect my Alpha and pack and always put the needs of the High Tide pack first,” I added, saying my prepared piece as we planned. “As per the tradition of the High Tide pack, the hands of the Alpha and his successor shall be cut to solidify the transfer of the Alphaship.” Beta Daniel unfolded the red velvet mat
