A few hours laterJasper had trekked the two miles down the mountainside into the small town. He had ventured into the only small café in this quint town. Jasper was standing before a notice board with flyers of all kinds all over it. He was most interested in the help wanted section. There were various job postings and one-time gigs. Jasper needed to make some quick cash so that he could sustain himself for the next ten days. Not to mention travelling around in search of a way out of his own personal hell. There was an add for a gladiators contest. They were searching for men and woman to compete. He memorized the address and left the café.Over the years Jasper had become a rather masterful fighter. He was well versed in all types of combat technics from street fighting to martial arts, and all others in between. Jasper may not be able to remember each fighting style from memory, but his body could. It reacted accordingly with whomever Jasper was fighting at the time, without him ha

Jasper stared piercingly at the man before him. He was trying to process what Sabastian had said to him. How could he be his father. It was so improbable and yet Jasper believed what he said. And apparently, he had a mate as well. “Please forgive me, but did you say that I am your son?” Sabastian looked at Jasper with pride in his eyes. “Yes. I am not sure why you do not remember me, but I promise you once you come back and see the pack you will remember.”Jasper went willingly with Sabastian to his wolf packs den. It was about ten miles up the mountainside. As soon as the two of them were through the trees and out of sight of prying eyes Sabastian changed into his wolf form. He looked at Jasper expectingly. He did not know how to change on cue, at least he thought. He closed his eyes and imagined himself transforming and just like that his body changed with little effort.The two of them started running up the mountainside with Sabastian taking the lead. Jasper was deep in thought ab

Jasper’s teeth hit their target dead on. The other wolf began to yip in forfeit. Jasper let him go and waited for him to change. Once he did, Jasper followed suit. “You are far more stronger than I remember! Let us talk and bury the hatchet.” This wolf knew he was no match for Jasper. So, the only thing he could do was bide his time and pretend to forgive. “Like I was saying I know not who you are, so I do not know of my wrong doings please enlighten me.” Jasper said innocently.“The name is Thane. A few centuries ago, you were the cause of my father’s death. I have never been able to forgive you for that. You told him that you wanted to meet to talk about our packs becoming one, but when he arrived at the place you were supposed to meet him a group of men attacked him. At the time he was in his wolf form and the members of our pack heard his cries of pain. We rushed to his location, but it was too late. That was also the last day anyone ever saw you again.”Jasper was dumbfounded. He

The man stared at Jasper with his mouth agape. “How did you know the name of the order!” His skin started to glow, and Jasper took a step back. This man before him was suspicious of him now and had some murderous intentions at that moment. Thane put his hands in the air and said, “Woah calm down Burne. The Storm Rose pack is our pack. Let him explain how he knows of them before you go jumping to conclusions.” The aura around Burne dissipated and he said, “Yes Alfa. Please forgive me for not trusting you. Tell us how you know of their existence.”Even though he knew they were going to think he was insane he told them about the two men who came out of the mountain side. Thane surprised him by saying, “I believe what you are saying for I too have seen this strange magic before. It was roughly a century ago. I was taking out the cubs of the pack for their first transformation. When I caught a glimpse of a strange man in a robe. I saw the mountain open up and he disappeared into it. After

Jasper struggled against the hand-woven net with everything he had. He tried biting and clawing his way through the intricate ropes without any success. Four men in Dark blue robes surrounded him. Each one had a different celestial marking on the torso area of their robes. By the looks of them they were from the very order he was seeking to find.“Do not resist Mr. Monroe we mean you no harm. We are here to warn you about the man Tomas that you sought help from. He is not who you think he is. If you return with the ingredients he asked for, he will betray you, and possibly kill you and anyone with you. He has been trying for ages to find a way to the orders sacred meeting place. He seeks our knowledge so he can use it to rule over the entire populus. Heed our warning. The answers you so desperately seek will come to you in due time. Please have patience. The decision is yours to believe us or to believe Tomas.”As quickly as they arrived, they were gone in a flash. The rope entrapping
