*Levi’s POV*The drive to Burger Queens felt unusually long, the weight of the news and the gravity of the situation hanging heavily between Jasmine and me. The air inside the car was heavy with silence, our usual chit chat and playful banter was eplaced by a somber atmosphere. The knowledge of Sarah's betrayal and the loss of Tyrel weighed on us, creating a distance that words couldn't just bridge.As we parked and exited the car, we exchanged a glance, both of us bracing ourselves for what we were about to face. The absence of any dramatic police presence was surprising, and it heightened the sense of convenience. The once vibrant eatery now stood empty and abandoned, a testament to the violence that unfolded here.Jasmine and I moved inside cautiously, our steps echoing in the quiet space. We scanned the area, our eyes searching for any sign of Cherry and Tyrel. And then, faint sobs reached my ears, drawing my attention towards a corner of the room. I met Jasmine's gaze, and she no
*Two Weeks Later**Jasmine’s POV*I stepped into the steam-filled bathroom, the warm water cascading down the tiles and fogging up the mirror. Today was my birthday, but it held more significance than just turning a year older. As the water splashed on my skin, I reminded myself that it was going to be a busy day. A day filled with excitement, nerves, and a touch of apprehension.Levi's image flashed through my mind as I reached for the soap. The approval from the top ranking board of the Black Moon Pack was a turning point for us. The fact that he could officially have a human mate was a milestone that had been a long time coming. The countless meetings, discussions, and negotiations had finally paid off, and today, Levi and I were going to seal our mate bond.I couldn't help but smile as the water rinsed away the soap, a mixture of happiness and anticipation bubbling up within me. The rhythmic sound of water droplets hitting the tiles was like a soothing melody, easing my nerves and
A playful challenge glinted in his eyes, and I couldn't help but laugh softly. The atmosphere was charged with a mixture of anticipation and desire as he carried me upstairs to our master bedroom. In no distant time we found ourselves devouring each other’s lips as the growing sexual tension between us reached an all time high. My soft gasps and moans filled the air as his hands began exploring every inch of my body, turning me on more and more. I managed to break off from the kiss and I said, “I’m ready, my love, please be gentle, you know it’s my first time.” Levi then placed his right hand on my cheek and uttered reassuringly, “I will, trust me okay?” And afterward, he proceeded to Mark me as his mate. It all happened and I enjoyed every bit of it. I wish we did it sooner because it just felt too good. He’s like a master of Sex or something. When I look back towards the journey I’ve had with Levi, it all seemed to have happened so fast, I couldn’t believe that we would end up like
As the waiter acknowledged his order and left to retrieve the wine, the conversation took an unexpected turn. Levi's question about our future caught me off guard for a moment, and I paused to gather my thoughts before responding."Say, Jasmine, what would you like our future to look like?" he asked, his eyes steady on mine.I considered his question carefully, letting the excitement of possibilities wash over me. "Not too complex, I guess," I replied with a thoughtful smile. "I'd like to explore the world with you. Travel to various countries, experience different cultures, and make memories together."The genuine interest in his gaze spurred a spark of connection between us, and I could feel the depth of the conversation growing as we shared our desires and dreams.Just then, the waiter returned with the wine, the clinking of glasses a subtle reminder of the present moment. He poured the rich red liquid into our glasses, the deep color mirrored in the depths of the liquid.As the wa
As the rumors about Levi's birthday party spread like wildfire, I found myself rolling my eyes at the absurdity of it all. Everyone seemed to be talking about it, claiming that it would be the biggest event of the senior class. But to be honest, I couldn't care less. I knew better than to believe the ridiculous rumors that were being circulated.During second period Science, I overheard Leila Donovan telling her friends that Levi was going to ask her to be his girlfriend as soon as he turned 18. I couldn't help but scoff at her naivety. Hadn't she seen Ashley hanging off his arm that morning? Sure, Levi had a reputation for changing girls like he changed shirts, but it was still ridiculous for Leila to believe that he would settle down with her.By third period History, Felix was spreading the rumor that Levi was having the party so that he would have an alibi for a robbery he was planning. I couldn't believe how far-fetched these rumors were getting. Surely no one actually believed t
As a typical Friday, the school was abuzz with excitement, and I found myself standing out as the only one not going to the party. However, it seemed like nobody cared, including myself. I couldn't help but notice that everyone else had checked out for the day, and if they had a choice, they would have ditched school altogether. Even my brother, Paul, had already secured a party invitation with one of Ashley's clones, not realizing that they could not think on their own without their shared brain cell residing in Ashley. It was hilarious to see how Paul thought with his little head, rather than using his brain. I wondered if I would be the same if I were a guy, but it was just a strange thought.As I was lost in my thoughts, a group of girls passed by giggling and talking about the party of the year, which I found unbearable. I had only one class left and couldn't take it anymore. I decided to do something I had never done before - ditch school. It seemed daunting at first, but I knew
As I walked through the crowded hallway, I couldn't help but notice the strange atmosphere in the school. The excitement from Friday's party seemed to have dissipated and was replaced by anger and scowls on the faces of the popular kids. Even the usually happy and smiling populars were walking around looking like they were about to start a fight.I overheard some gossip about Alex, the football team captain, hooking up with Brinkley Aimes, the junior class president, which was a surprise to me. I never thought Brinkley would be the type to do that. But that was beside the point. Something had clearly happened at the party that was affecting everyone in the school.I spotted Paul at his locker, surrounded by his friends. He was at the party, maybe he knows what happened. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should approach him. But then I remembered how drunk he was on Saturday when he came home and how little he remembered about the party. Maybe he wouldn't be much help after all.
As I walked towards my class, I picked up a scent that set my senses ablaze and I quickened my pace, eager to find its source. My wolf was practically bouncing with excitement. Upon entering the room, my eyes immediately fell upon the most stunning girl I had ever seen. Words failed me in describing her beauty. Her ash blonde hair was pulled up in a ponytail, cascading down the curve of her neck flawlessly. I couldn't wait to mark her with my own.As she sat in the back of the room, gazing out the window at the trees, my world stood still. When her hazel eyes met mine, my breath caught in my throat. How was I supposed to breathe around her?But she smiled a small, sweet smile, and it felt like my heart skipped a beat. My wolf urged me forward, and I found myself drawn towards her like a moth to a flame. I felt like never taking my eyes off her. She was perfect, and I knew she was meant to be mine.Jasmine ’s POVI noticed Levi looking at me. I found it strange because he never seemed
